Chapter 8: Hidden in the City (2)

knocked on the door, but no one responded for a long time, and the guy from the rice shop next door said enthusiastically: "Girl, are you looking for the owner of Yongfu Tea Shop? ”

When Chi Xiaoman heard this, he smiled gratefully at the guy: "Little brother, do you know where Chen Dong's family lives?"

The little brother had never seen such a beautiful girl, and he smiled so gently at himself, scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I don't know where Chen Dong's family lives, but his son-in-law will come over every day after noon, and many people have taken a fancy to this shop these days and want to buy it from them!"

It turns out that this small and remote store is also so popular......

Chi Xiaoman couldn't help but be a little worried, she had a pitiful amount of money on hand, and she was afraid that the chances of buying this place were slim.

Originally, she was thinking that this shop would definitely not be easy to sell, and she could negotiate with the shopkeeper to "pay in installments", and if the shopkeeper was in urgent need of money, she could even lower the price.

Now it seems that these dreams ...... No, she hasn't talked to the owner yet, and she won't give up!

Since the little brother said that the young owner would come at noon, then she would come over at that time.

After thanking the little brother, Chi Xiaoman got into the carriage first, planning to go to the restaurant "Ke Ruyunlai" that he had fancied before.

After coming out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, she hadn't eaten a good meal all the way, so she only bought some steamed buns and dry food on the way, and she would finally be able to eat a good meal.

The dishes in this restaurant are quite satisfactory to her, she is full of food and drink, and when she sees that the hour has passed noon, Chi Xiaoman went to Yongfu Tea Store again.

The door of Yongfu Tea House was still closed, but this time Chi Xiaoman knocked on the door for a while, and someone came to open the door.

"What is the girl's business?" opened the door to a man of about twenty years of age, dressed rather plainly, and looked less like a master than a servant.

"Is the young owner of Yongfu Tea Shop?"

Sure enough, as soon as Chi Xiaoman asked, the man said: "The young owner is talking to someone, the girl still explains her intention first, and let me go to report." ”

"You young proprietors are talking to someone about selling this tea shop, right? I also want to buy this shop. Chi Xiaoman said bluntly.

"You?" the man looked suspicious.

Chi Xiaoman nodded firmly, "Yes, you go and report it." ”

The man reflexively reported with a look full of suspicion.

After a while, he came out and said to Chi Xiaoman: "The young owner invites the girl to come in to talk." ”

Chi Xiaoman calmly followed him into the tea shop.

The tea shop is not big, it has been emptied, and there is nothing in it, so it can be seen that it has been decided to sell this shop for a while, but I don't know why I want to give up here.

Chen Shaodong's family of Yongfu Tea Shop is sitting with three buyers in a wing room behind the tea shop, which used to be used for the proprietor to rest, but now the things that should be moved are almost gone, leaving only a bed, a few tables and chairs.

When Chi Xiaoman entered, they immediately stopped talking, and the eight eyes of the four of them were all fixed on Chi Xiaoman.

Several people sat around the table at random, but Chi Xiaoman still recognized at a glance who was Chen Shaodong's family, because the other three people were all forty or fifty years old, so it was really ......

Sure enough, the youngest man got up and said with a smile on his face, "The girl also wants to buy this place?"

Chen Yu heard the report from his entourage that there was a young girl outside the door who wanted to talk to him about buying this place, and he was still a little suspicious, he didn't want this girl to really come in, and it was such a beautiful girl.

Chi Xiaoman looked at Chen Yu, who was smiling gently, ignoring the suspicion and disdain of the other three, and smiled faintly but confidently: "Yes." ”

She knew what the gaze of the three people meant, in this era, even in Yasukuni, where the people were more open, the status of women was still lower than that of men, although there were a lot of women who showed up, and the daughters of the boudoir did not have to go out of the door, but it would still be considered quite ridiculous to do business with men. In other words, a woman's ability is still underestimated.

But Chi Xiaoman doesn't care about this, how successful the Xiangmanlou she opened is is an indisputable fact. To say that reopening a teahouse here would fail?

"Then sit down and talk together. Although Chen Yu admired her beauty and bearing, she was a businessman after all, and immediately introduced the other three to her in business, and then said bluntly: "In the way of shouting, the price of each shouting must not be less than one hundred taels, and now the owner of Dafeng Tea Shop has paid a price of three thousand taels, I don't know if there is a higher bid than this?"

Bidding?

Chi Xiaoman's heart sank for a moment, this Chen Shaodong is really an expert in making money, using the auction method, the reserve price is set by him, how to get the price in the end must be higher than the lowest price he can accept, but now the price has been shouted to three thousand taels, and she doesn't even have five hundred taels on hand......

She thought about it quickly, and said, "I'll give three thousand five hundred taels." (To be continued......)
