The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 100: Craftsman Zheng

Even when the mule carriage stopped, Daniu was still in a daze.

His second uncle was too generous. At first, Daniu thought that although they were renting a shop in the county, they would be renting a relatively remote place. This was the most prosperous and lively street in the county!

“Come down,” Shu Yu jumped off the shaft of the carriage. Daniu came back to his senses and followed her in.

“This is the shop I rented. What do you think? It’s a little small, but it’s enough.”

Daniu raised his head and looked around the shop. His eyes were filled with surprise, “It’s not that small.”

He was still a young man, after all, so Daniu couldn’t help but walk around the shop. He excitedly looked at every corner of the shop.

Shu Yu went to wash her hands, then came out and say to him, “Brother Daniu, I’m going to Dongmen Street to find a craftsman. You can rest here for a while.” Daniu recovered from his excitement, “I’ll go with you.”

“There’s no need for that. You can help me look after the shop and the carriage, so I don’t have to lock the door.”

Daniu thought about it and agreed.

However, as soon as Shu Yu turned around and left, he immediately looked around, found a broom and a rag, and started cleaning the shop inside and out.

Shu Yu found Dongmen Street soon and knocked on the door of Craftsman Zheng’s courtyard.

Craftsman Zheng, who opened the door, looked quite depressed and dispirited.

He was stunned when he saw Shu Yu, “Miss, who are you looking for?”

Shu Yu was holding a bag of date pastries in her hand, “Are you Uncle Zheng? I’m the second daughter of Lu Erbai from Shangshi Village. My father asked me to come and find you.”

Craftsman Zheng was surprised for a moment, “Erbai’s daughter? Come, come in first.”

Shu Yu entered the house and looked around the Zheng family’s courtyard.

There were a lot of tools and materials piled up here, and it was a little messy.

Craftsman Zheng called for his wife and invited Shu Yu into the central room.

Shu Yu placed the date pastries on the table, then went straight to the point, “Our family rented a shop on Ningshui Street and we plan to make some changes and repair it. My father said that Uncle Zheng’s skills are good and meticulous, so he asked me to come here and ask if you have time.”

Craftsman Zheng’s wife, who was carrying a bowl of water into the room, widened her eyes and walked up to Shu Yu in a few steps, “Yes, yes, yes. He just happens to be free.”

Craftsman Zheng was shocked, “A shop? The Lu family is opening a shop?” Two months ago, when he went to visit Lu Erbai, the latter was still lying in bed and feeling uncomfortable. It had rained that day, and the roof had been leaking. He was the one who had helped to mend it.

But now, Lu Erbai was actually going to open a shop on Ningshui Street?

Just as he was thinking about it, his wife gave him a nudge, and he quickly came to his senses.

After that, Shu Yu told him about the requests and remuneration. Craftsman Zheng expressed that he had no problem with it.

“Why don’t I follow you to the shop to take a look now? If it’s possible, we can start work tomorrow.”

Shu Yu couldn’t ask for more, so she brought Craftsman Zheng back to Ningshui Street.

When she entered the shop, she saw that the previously dirty floor was now clean. Daniu was wiping the counter with a rag.

Shu Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Brother Daniu, don’t bother.”

She introduced Craftsmen Zheng to him, “This is Uncle Zheng.”

Daniu quickly wiped his hands and walked out from behind the counter. He said energetically, “Uncle Zheng.”

Craftsman Zheng nodded. Shu Yu led him inside and explained her plan as they walked.

“This is a ready-to-made clothes shop, so it’s best if the front is big so that the customers can see the clothes inside from the outside. The entrance of this shop is actually quite spacious, but the two door panels on the side are fixed. I want to make it into a door that can be opened..”
