Anyway, sooner or later, she has to compete with the Sun family, Lin Mei is in her heart, it is better to buy the tea house as soon as possible, "How much silver does he need to sell the tea house." ”

"Fifty thousand taels of silver."

"What? Fifty thousand? Why didn't he grab it?! The shopkeeper Tong on the side was already stunned.

Tong Dacai explained: "I also think it's a bit expensive, but the tea house is a total of ten hectares before and after, and it is connected into a piece, plus tea trees, as soon as we take over, we can pick tea leaves, so it is not easy to find a ready-made tea house." ”

Lin Mei's heart was cold, this matter was really tricky, if she hadn't sent 100,000 taels of silver to King Qi a few days ago, the account would not have been so tight.

"I still have 40,000 taels of private silver in my hand, why don't we go and meet him now?" In fact, Lin Mei is still very excited, mainly because as he said, the ready-made tea house is really hard to find, and it is in Shenzhou, not far from Luoyang.

The shopkeeper Tong looked nervous and persuaded: "Master, why don't you wait for you to come back, you go and see it in person, this purchase of land, it is like buying Chinese cabbage, say buy it, not to mention that the place is in Shenzhou, we are inconvenient to take care of, just say that we don't know how many tea trees are down, in case we buy the front foot, and lose the tea tree on the back foot, how can such a loss-making transaction be done?" ”

This is also very reasonable, but if you wait to come back, the cooked duck will fly, but Lin Mei hesitated for a while.

"Or, let's go to explore the truth first, if the master thinks it's good, let's pay a deposit first, I'll personally go to Shenzhou, and wait for the master to come back, let's agree whether to do it or not, if the situation doesn't match, we will lose a little deposit, if it's true, this deal is still feasible."

This is a good way, borrowing the momentum of the palace, and the tea merchant does not dare to do anything from it.

Shopkeeper Tong still didn't agree, "What if that person is a liar and takes the deposit and leaves?" We don't have a title deed, where can we find him? ”

As the saying goes, when the interruption continues, but suffers from the chaos, Lin Mei frowned and thought about all the possibilities, and immediately made a decision: "Let's go and meet him first, and then let's see the opportunity to act." ”

The shopkeeper Tong saw that she had made up her mind, and it was difficult to persuade her.

……

The largest Deyun tea shop in the West Market.

"Did you hear that? The Tian family army has captured several cities in Shuozhou and Xinzhou, and the rebels are now defending Taiyuan, and I am afraid that they will not be able to survive for long. ”

"But I heard that the rebels have moved south, have already captured Yanqing, and are now attacking Linfen."

"It's nonsense, I'm afraid this news is just a rumor spread by the rebels, if this is true, then the one in the court still has the heart to worship his ancestors in the Ninety-Nine Double Ninth Festival? If it was at this time, troops would have been sent to Linfen. ”

Qi Niang saw that there were many people in the tea shop, which was not in line with the master's cautious temperament, so she said: "Master, why did you choose the place here?" Look at the people coming and going here, what if people see it and let people dig into the corners? ”

"There are not many hours today, if you choose to be in a clean place, I am afraid that the merchant will look down on you. Besides, I will go to Chang'an tomorrow, the blessings and disasters are unpredictable, we all have no score in our hearts, and outsiders have no score, eighty percent of our eyes are wide-eyed, full of jealousy and envy, even if there are one or two people who have doubts in their hearts, they will also have scruples, and they dare not make a move on Hongxinglou at this juncture. Lin Mei also decided to choose the Deyun Tea Shop in Luoyang West City after careful consideration.

"I don't know much about selling, but is the master's trick called taking advantage of the situation?" Qi Niang asked in surprise.

Lin Mei smiled slightly, "It's true to take advantage of the situation, and it's fake to take advantage of it, it's just a precaution." ”

Qi Niang has been with her for a long time now, and she really has a bit of master-servant friendship, and replied: "Master, don't worry, when the prince leaves, he has already handed over the shadows of Luoyang to me, and I will send someone to watch them carefully." ”

Lin Mei smiled at her and nodded: "This matter really has to trouble you, those guards in the restaurant will only have some tricks and tricks, and they will bluff people, if they want to find out the news, I am afraid that it will be insufficient to succeed and more than to fail." ”

Just as he was laughing, I saw Tong Dacai take the two into the box.

Lin Mei raised her eyes and saw that a polite person, about fifteen years old, did not look like a businessman, like a scholar; The other was a sturdy man with a full face, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, but he was very familiar.

was puzzled, but he didn't think about it, the man didn't wait for Tong Dacai to introduce him, so he excitedly stepped forward and asked, "Childe, no, girl, do you remember Shi?" ”

This rough voice was particularly familiar, Lin Mei suddenly remembered it in her mind, and pointed to him: "You are the one who followed the bet in the gambling house that day?!" But how do you know I'm a girl? ”

"The girl has a good memory, and it is Shi Jiaoli below." Shi Jiaoli smiled on his face, and the flesh on his face was piled together. "The girl didn't know, when the game was over, I was guarding the gambling house, I wanted to thank the son, but I didn't want to come to get the silver but it was a steward and a girl, I happened to hear them talking, and then I knew that the son was actually a beautiful girl."

Lin Mei originally wanted to make a fortune in a muffled voice, but she was exposed and depressed.

Tong Dacai saw the opportunity to act, and said with a smile: "This is a coincidence, Boss Shi, this is our master, since the two of us know each other, then this deal is easy to discuss." You two brothers should sit down and drink tea first, and then talk slowly with our master. ”

Shi Jiaoli's smiling face suddenly froze, and Shi Lao Wu sat down directly with him.

Seeing that his face was wrong, Lin Mei sighed in her heart and said secretly: Could this really be a game? Thinking like this in his heart, he was overjoyed and angry, and asked with a smile: "What, Boss Shi is there a problem with this business?" ”

At this time, the scholar kept giving Shi Jiaoli a look, Shi Jiaoli glanced at each other, shook his head weakly and said: "Old Five, this girl is the one who persuaded me to press the Red Apricot Building that day, and she is kind to us." Didn't you scold me at the time for why I didn't listen to others, although I finally earned five hundred taels of silver, but when we went back, our bowels were green with remorse. If we really listened to the girl's words at that time, and followed the pressure of two or three thousand taels, our Shi family would not be forced to the embarrassing place of deceiving people to buy a tea house. ”

When the scholar heard this, he blushed and embarrassed himself.

Tong Dacai glared at him, saw that he was also blushing, and said angrily: "Didn't you say that to me at that time, you said that your brother wanted to take the road of the imperial examination and needed silver to make a point, and he also wanted to sell the tea house and make up some silver taels, but I didn't expect this to be a trick for the two of you to make a trick to coax people?" I'll report to the official. ”

The two Shi Jiaoli brothers hurriedly stopped the person and gave them to apologize.

Lin Mei was also a little angry when she heard this, but she was curious, and she also wanted to explore a thing or two, all because of experience. "It seems that if there is really a problem with this transaction, Boss Shi, the transaction will not be successful, benevolence and righteousness are there, we can be regarded as acquaintances, and if there are any problems in this, I hope to tell one or two, and I will not run in vain."

Shi Jiaoli saw that the matter had been revealed, so it was better to make it clear: "The girl doesn't blame us, it's really a last resort, but the tea house has been operated by our Shi family for several generations to have the scale it has today, and it is true that I want to sell the tea house, although I am a little reluctant, but there is no way." Since the beginning of this year, the tea tree has been infested, we have tried our best, I also ran a special trip to a number of places, just to find a way to control the tree and eliminate insects, but unfortunately in vain, now there is really no way, this ran to Luoyang, want to sell to people who do not know how to do. ”
