Chapter 160: Buying the Teahouse
When I entered this Mingxiang Teahouse, I saw that Mr. Song was sitting opposite a middle-aged man by the window on the north side, looking out of the window with a smile on his face.
Hearing the footsteps of several people, the two turned their heads, the middle-aged man was still a little stunned, Mr. Song had already stood up, and saluted Chen Siye with a hint of joy: "Chen Gongzi is really here." ”
Chen Siye approached and said, "Mr. Song doesn't need to be polite, Mr. has been waiting for a long time, right?" ”
Mr. Song smiled humbly: "I haven't waited long, the little old man is still afraid that Chen Gongzi will not come." As he spoke, he pointed to the middle-aged man and introduced to Chen Siye: "This is the shopkeeper of this teahouse." ”
The shopkeeper Yang stood up and smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Now I am the only one left in this teahouse, how can I be called the shopkeeper." ”
After speaking, Shopkeeper Yang looked at Chen Siye eagerly and went straight to the point: "Listen to Mr. Song, Chen Gongzi intends to buy my teahouse?" ”
This shopkeeper Yang actually didn't know how famous Chen Siye was, just seeing that he also brought two maids, he knew that he was a rich master, so he couldn't wait to confirm it.
Chen Siye nodded when he heard this: "There is such a plan." ”
Seeing that Shopkeeper Yang was about to speak, Mr. Song interrupted: "Shopkeeper Yang, let Gongzi Chen sit down first, and then it's not too late to serve tea." ”
Shopkeeper Yang patted his head and hurriedly said, "Don't blame Gongzi Chen, please sit down quickly." ”
Saying that, he politely asked the three of Xiangling to sit down at the table next to him, and each poured a cup of tea.
After they all sat down, Shopkeeper Yang said: "Chen Gongzi, don't hide it, I'm in a hurry to go back to my hometown, but it's been a few days, and I haven't found anyone willing to take over my teahouse, and I think this place is remote." I was a little excited to hear Mr. Song say that Chen Gongzi was willing to buy my teahouse, so I was a little rude when I saw Chen Gongzi just now. ”
Listening to his words, Chen Siye said in his heart that this shopkeeper Yang is quite real, so he comforted: "Shopkeeper Yang don't have to worry, this teahouse has an elegant environment, I like it very much, as long as the price is right, I will buy it." ”
Shopkeeper Yang was very excited and said: "Chen Gongzi rest assured, the price must be right, why don't I take Chen Gongzi to see this upstairs and downstairs first?" ”
Chen Siye nodded and looked at Mr. Song and said, "Mr. Song will also take a look?" "Since they have already decided to hire him as the shopkeeper, they naturally have to let Mr. Song familiarize themselves with the venue.
Mr. Song smiled and agreed: "I wish to go, Chen Gongzi will wait a while, and I will call my granddaughter back." ”
As he spoke, he shouted out the window, "Yiyi, come back quickly!" ”
Chen Siye noticed that a little girl by the small river outside was playing in the water with a small flower umbrella, and the little girl turned around and responded in a crisp voice when she heard this: "I know grandpa, let's go back." ”
This little girl is about ten years old, her round face is like a pink makeup, a pair of smart eyes seem to be able to speak, a simple green dress on her body makes people feel surprisingly suitable, she holds a small flower umbrella like a butterfly and jumps towards the front door of the teahouse.
I didn't expect Mr. Song to have such a cute little granddaughter, Chen Siye couldn't help but look at Jing Qing on the table on the side, this stupid boy was really a little stunned, Miaozhu on the side couldn't help but smile and waved his hand in front of his eyes, he woke up like a dream, and Chen Siye couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he saw this scene.
turned to look at Mr. Song and praised: "Mr. Song has such a smart and beautiful little granddaughter, which is really enviable." ”
Mr. Song said with a hint of relief between his eyebrows: "Little Lao'er also feels that he has been favored by God, in fact, Yiyi, this child has no father and no mother, I picked it up, and he was still in infancy, and he was so old in a blink of an eye, which is really emotional." ”
Hearing him say this, everyone was surprised, and Chen Siye couldn't help but have a trace of respect from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Yiyi also entered the teahouse, walked to Mr. Song's side, and looked at the extra people in the teahouse with some curiosity.
Mr. Song smiled and said, "Yiyi, hurry up and meet Chen Gongzi." ”
Yiyi was slightly blessed and said: "Yiyi has seen Chen Gongzi." ”
Chen Siye smiled and nodded, Yiyi, this little girl is very cute, generous, and knows the number of etiquette.
I saw Mr. Song get up again and said, "Okay, you guys have been waiting for a long time, Shopkeeper Yang will take Chen Gongzi and Xiao Lao'er to take a look, right?" ”
Shopkeeper Yang nodded yes, so the three of them got up and prepared to go upstairs to have a look, but Yiyi and Jingqing didn't follow, Chen Siye took the opportunity to give Jingqing a look, and I don't know if he understood.
According to the introduction of the shopkeeper Yang, this teahouse is not much different from the general teahouse, the first and second floors are welcome places, and the second floor is a private seat.
However, unlike ordinary tea houses, there is no backyard here, and the residence is on the third floor. There are not a few rooms, even if you recruit a few helpers in the future, it will be enough to live.
I heard the shopkeeper Yang say that this teahouse had just been renovated two years ago, and he had spent a lot of effort. It does look okay, including the table, chairs, and tea sets are pretty good.
However, because there is no backyard, the kitchen is outside, and a room is built as a kitchen according to the teahouse, but I heard that there is still room for expansion from the shopkeeper Yang, and a large area around the title deed belongs to the teahouse.
After looking at the entire teahouse, the three of them went downstairs again, at this time Yiyi was already a little familiar with Xiangling Miaozhu, and also sat down to talk, but Jingqing didn't seem to be able to interject, so Chen Siye felt a little helpless, this kid was cowardly as soon as he met a girl.
The three of them sat back at the table again, and Shopkeeper Yang added a cup of hot tea to the two of them, and then looked at Chen Siye with some expectation and said, "What does Gongzi Chen think?" ”
Chen Siye was actually quite satisfied, he felt that the teahouse should be quieter, not too lively, just right in this place, and the decoration of the entire teahouse was also okay, so he said: "Yes, Shopkeeper Yang will make a price." ”
"Eight hundred taels of silver, what does Chen Gongzi think?"
Hearing this price, Chen Siye was surprised, not that he felt expensive, but that he felt a little cheap, and the fine decoration of the three-story building also brought a large piece of land, which cost eight hundred taels of silver, which is equivalent to 400,000 yuan, it is really not expensive at all, you must know that those tables and chairs are all mahogany, there is no moisture, and I don't know how much these things are worth in modern times.
Shopkeeper Yang looked at Chen Siye's face and thought that he thought it was expensive, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If Chen Gongzi thinks it is expensive, you can discuss it again." ”
Chen Siye was carrying a huge sum of tens of thousands of taels of silver, how could he take advantage of him again, so he said: "No, I bought eight hundred taels of silver." ”
Shopkeeper Yang was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Thank you Gongzi Chen!" Thank you Gongzi Chen! I can go back! It seems that he is really in a hurry to return to his hometown, and he is excited to thank him.
Chen Siye waved his hand and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yang doesn't have to thank me, do business, pay attention to your love and my wishes, I really like your teahouse." ”
The shopkeeper calmed down and nodded with a smile: "Chen Gongzi is really refreshing, since this is the case, then make a deed?" ”
Of course, the deed is to be established, so Chen Siye nodded and said, "Okay, how should this deed be established?" ”
Shopkeeper Yang turned to ask, "I don't know if Gongzi Chen wants to make a red deed or a white deed?" If it is a white deed, the two of us will write a deed here, and each of them can draw a pledge. ”
Red deed white deed? Chen Siye had never heard these two words, so he couldn't help but be confused, so he wondered: "I don't know what is the difference between this red deed and white deed?" ”
Seeing that Chen Siye didn't know what he meant, Mr. Song on the side explained: "The red deed is the deed with the deed tax, which has the big seal of the government, and the white deed does not need to pay taxes, just ask someone to guarantee it, and the two parties can make a deed." ”
Chen Siye understood it, that is, the red deed was recognized by the government and stamped with an official seal, while the white deed was made privately, so it should have no legal effect.
He was not short of the tax money, so he naturally wanted to set up a red deed recognized by the government, so he said: "Set up a red deed, I will pay the deed tax." ”
Shopkeeper Yang heard this, his face was happy, and the deed tax was not a small amount, if he took one hundred and one, eight hundred taels was eight taels of silver.
"This red deed has to go to Jingzhao Mansion, I don't know if Chen Gongzi has anything else to do? If you're okay, come with me to Jingzhao Mansion, right? ”
Hearing this, Chen Siye was a little confused, and he still wanted to go to Jingzhao Mansion? It's too troublesome, the title deed of the Xinhua Bookstore that Xiao Tao gave him before, he didn't need to come forward, and it was stamped on it.
So he asked, "If I don't go, can I stand?" ”
Shopkeeper Yang hesitated: "It should be.. It's okay, but it's indispensable to put money up and down, and those officials and gentlemen all look at people with their nostrils, and they can't do anything if they don't have silver. ”
"How much silver does that cost?" Chen Siye would rather spend money than be too lazy to make this trip.
"It is estimated that there will be a hundred and ten taels of silver."
"Then I'll give Shopkeeper Yang a thousand taels, and I won't go, and as for the rest, it will be regarded as Shopkeeper Yang's hard-earned money." Saying that, he said to Xiangling: "Xiangling, bring the silver box." ”
Xiangling agreed, took the silver box, Chen Siye opened the silver box, pointed out a thousand taels of silver tickets, handed it to the shopkeeper Yang and said, "One thousand taels of silver tickets, shopkeeper Yang click it." ”
Shopkeeper Yang was a little stunned, "This.. That's it for me? Chen Gongzi is not afraid that I will take the silver ticket and run away? ”
Chen Siye said with a smile: "I want to buy a teahouse, as long as the teahouse is still here, it will be fine if Shopkeeper Yang runs away." ”
Shopkeeper Yang smiled and said, "Please also ask Gongzi Chen to wait for me here, and I will go to Jingzhao Mansion." ”
With that, he got up and went out directly, and he took the title deed with him. Seeing that Shopkeeper Yang didn't have a carriage, Chen Siye asked the coachman to drive him over, and Shopkeeper Yang was very embarrassed.
After sending off the shopkeeper Yang, Chen Siye turned to Mr. Song and said, "In the future, I will trouble Mr. Song to bother to run this teahouse." As he spoke, he took out two hundred taels of silver tickets and said, "These two hundred taels of silver tickets are left for Mr. Song, whether you invite people or buy things, you can use them." ”
Mr. Song stood up with excitement on his face and bowed to him and said: "The little old man is really ashamed to be treated so well by Gongzi Chen, although the son can rest assured, the little old man will definitely do his best." ”
Chen Siye hurriedly helped him up and said, "Mr. Song doesn't have to be like this. As he spoke, he asked Xiangling to take out the two fairy swords he had brought when he went out and handed them to Mr. Song, saying, "This is the book I promised to give to Mr. Song earlier." ”
