For several days, Richie was like a tireless horse and mule, running around day and night. Whoever calls here even a phone, not even a taxi, and has to rely on his own hands and feet to do anything, which is too humane.
After getting ready that night, Li Qi climbed into bed early, he was too tired.
Due to this era, the air is fresh and there is no annoying horn sound, so it is naturally comfortable to sleep.
As soon as it was dawn, after Li Qi got up, he simply freshened up, then came to the door of Wu Xiaoliu's room, knocked on the door, and found that there was no one inside, and smiled slightly, this little guy is really reassuring to do things, and he is really a good errand runner.
Li Qi came to a noodle stall on the edge of the Drunken Immortal Residence alone and sat down. The owner of this stall is a lady surnamed Cao, and she is also a widow, who is usually more hospitable, and her craftsmanship is also quite good, and Li Qi has also been here once or twice. I asked for two big steamed buns and a bowl of tofu brain, looked at the pedestrians on the road, and ate this natural green food unhurriedly, thinking of Uncle Wu's expression at this time, I felt funny.
"This little brother, are you a guy from this drunken immortal residence?"
Just when Li Qi was thinking about it, a very low voice suddenly sounded next to him, he was slightly stunned, turned his head to look, and saw that it was Aunt Cao, his face showed surprise, and he nodded and asked, "Auntie, is there something wrong?" ”
Aunt Cao asked with gossip on her face: "I heard that your Drunken Immortal Residence is about to be sold to the Jade Xuan opposite, I don't know if it's true?" ”
Li Qi frowned slightly, and asked with a smile: "Who did you listen to?" ”
Aunt Cao waved her hand down and said with a big grin: "Hey, now the streets are talking about this matter, and even the blind mother-in-law at the end of the street knows about it." As he spoke, he winked at Li Qi, signaling you not to pretend to be garlic in front of the old lady.
Sweat! Is it so exaggerated?
Li Qi really didn't know about this, but he was very curious about why this Aunt Cao cared so much about Drunken Immortal Residence, and asked with interest: "Then do you hope to sell it or not?" ”
Aunt Cao sighed and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I've been working here for several years, and when the business of Drunken Xianju was good in the past, I naturally followed a little light, but in the past two years, the business of Drunken Xianju has been worse day by day, alas! It's best if you don't sell it, but it's not a way to go on like this, don't you say? ”
This Aunt Cao is going around, Li Qi heard it and finally understood, they are small stalls and small shops, not all rely on these nearby big restaurants to attract popularity, they follow behind a little light, now that the drunken immortal residence has closed its doors, then they naturally hope that Jade Xuan can take down this store, with the current development momentum of Jade Xuan, this will not be a market in the future, and they will naturally rise with the tide. smiled: "Then you still hope to sell." ”
Aunt Cao nodded awkwardly, and asked again: "Then is your owner going to sell the store to that Jade Xuan?" ”
Li Qi just wanted to answer, but suddenly saw Wu Furong's uncle and nephew walking towards this side in a hurry, hurriedly got up, and shouted: "Uncle Wu, sixth son, I'm here." ”
After beckoning the uncle and nephew to sit down, Li Qi asked with a smile: "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, come on, come on, eat together, the steamed buns here are quite good." ”
"Brother Li, I've already eaten it." Wu Xiaoliu said with a smile.
"I've eaten it too." Wu Furong waved his hand, how could he still have the appetite to eat breakfast now, and hurriedly asked Li Qi: "Little brother, the sixth son just sued me and said that you ---。 ”
Halfway through his words, Wu Furong suddenly glanced at Aunt Cao, who was standing aside, pricking up his ears and eavesdropping, and said, "Aunt Cao, why are you standing here if you don't greet guests?" ”
Aunt Cao smiled and turned away reluctantly.
After this Aunt Cao left, Wu Furong leaned his head over, lowered his voice and asked, "Little brother, the sixth son just told me that you have a friend who is going to buy this Drunken Immortal Residence, but is there such a thing?" ”
Li Qi laughed: "Of course, how dare I joke about this kind of thing." ”
"And what does that friend of yours do?"
"Oh, my friend used to open a restaurant in Shangjing, and now you also know that Jin and Liao are at war, and their lives as traders are naturally not easy, so he wants to move his business to Bianjing." Li Qi said slowly.
Shangjing used to be the capital of the Liao State, and the people who did business there were naturally rich and rich.
Wu Furong's face was overjoyed, and he asked, "How much is he willing to give?" ”
Li Qi replied vaguely: "There are more than that Cai Yuanwai." ”
In fact, the last thing Wu Furong wanted was to sell the Drunken Immortal Residence to that Cai Yuanwai, and now he heard that someone wanted to buy this Drunken Immortal Residence, and the price was more than that of Boss Cai, how could he not make his heart flutter, grabbed Li Qi's hand, and said: "Little brother, hurry, take me to meet your friend." ”
"Don't worry, Uncle Wu, don't worry." Li Qi quietly took his hand back, and said with a straight face: "My friend doesn't want to come forward for the time being, but he has already entrusted this matter to me, but it's just ---。 ”
"Just what?" Wu Furong's face tightened, and he hurriedly asked.
Li Qi looked embarrassed and said, "It's just that he repeatedly instructed his subordinates that he must have an interview with Mrs. Qin for this matter, otherwise, he would rather not do this business." ”
Wu Furong was slightly stunned, glanced at Li Qi suspiciously, and said: "Little brother, you have been in the Drunken Immortal Residence for so many days, you should also know that Madame, she rarely asks about the Drunken Immortal Residence, these things have always been taken care of by the old man, and you talk to the old man the same." ”
Li Qi smiled slightly, and said: "Uncle Wu, of course I believe you, but the problem is, I am also entrusted by others, to say something offensive, in the final analysis, you are also working for others, to buy the Drunken Immortal Residence, this is not a small amount, if you can't even see the other party's owner, if you are my friend, will you rest assured?" ”
"You have a point." Wu Furong nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he frowned and said, "If you want to see Mrs., Lao Yu can arrange it for you, but Lao Yu also has one condition." ”
"If you want to meet my friend first, I'm sorry, I can't promise you yet, but I can assure you that when I see Madame, I will naturally take you to meet him, you know, I don't have that much silver taels on me now, and I have to leave the payment to him himself." Li Qi spread his hands and smiled.
Li Qi guessed correctly, Wu Furong was indeed the friend who wanted to meet Li Qi first, if it was true, he would naturally agree to take Li Qi to see Mrs. Qin. Hearing Li Qi say this now, Wu Furong's face became even more embarrassed, squinted, and pondered.
Li Qi was not in a hurry, and continued to nibble on the big steamed bun. Wu Xiaoliu on the side, with his head down, a wicked smile on his face, and a few glances with Li Qi from time to time, as if he knew something, but Li Qi didn't see it.
After a while, Wu Furong sighed and said, "Okay, I promise you." When are you going to go? "Now he doesn't want to miss the slightest opportunity.
"The sooner the better, preferably now." Li Qi smiled.
Wu Furong was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll take you there now!" He also wanted to be sooner, but he was concerned about it.
"Then I'll trouble you, uncle." Li Qi drank the last mouthful of porridge, stood up, threw a few copper plates to Aunt Cao, and said with a smile: "Auntie, if you want to prosper in business, I can give you a trick." ”
Do a roaring trade? Aunt Cao's eyes flashed, and she asked, "What move?" ”
"It's very simple, you only have to wait another five days, and then you only need to add a few more tables, prepare more tea, and keep it for you more than twice as much as you do now." Li Qi laughed after speaking, and without waiting for Aunt Cao to react, he left with Wu Furong's uncle and nephew.
"Wait another five days? What day was that? ”
Aunt Cao scratched her head and looked at Li Qi's back as she gradually moved away with a puzzled face.
Li Qi followed Wu Furong through a few streets, and saw a high-gate mansion from a distance, the wall was three meters high and one meter wide, two heavy stone lions stood in front of the door, two thick vermilion lacquer doors were tightly closed, and a huge plaque on the door, Qin Mansion.
Li Qi glanced up at the mansion and sighed softly, in his eyes the mansion was like a prison that only time could destroy.
