"Since you said that food is the most important, then let's open a restaurant, how do you say?"

Talking about the restaurant, Mu Yu was really interested, "Restaurant? It's a good note, it's lively, it's interesting, you say that, I suddenly remembered the Juxian Pavilion in the capital, the location of the Juxian Pavilion is good, the layout is also good, you say that I have these silver, can I build a Juxian Pavilion? ”

Xie Chongning didn't make a sound, just looked at her quietly.

Mu Yu nodded, "That seems to be impossible." But it doesn't matter, Juxian Pavilion can't be built, this ordinary small restaurant is still okay, and we'll go to see the store tomorrow. And she has to find a good cook, Mu Yu thought, but she didn't know that Xie Chongning had a full view of her thoughts.

On the second day, small snowflakes floated in Mucheng, and the pedestrians on the road were all holding an oil-paper umbrella and hurriedly walked by, only the casualness of Mu Yu and Xie Chongning formed a sharp contrast.

"Come in and have a cup of hot tea, two guest officers!" In front of the old teahouse, a young junior stood in front of the old teahouse, holding a washed yellowed rag in his hand, waving to Mu Yu and Xie Chongning constantly.

Mu Yu looked towards the teahouse, this teahouse has been around for some years, and the door is desolate.

"Shall we go in and have a look?" She asked, looking up.

"Then go in." Xie Chongning nodded in response.

Mu Yu picked up a window seat and sat down, the entire teahouse guests came in twos and threes, counting them on one hand, and the shopkeeper followed behind her with a smile, "What kind of tea do the two guest officers want to order?" ”

"Look at it." Mu Yu looked at such a teahouse, and he didn't have any requirements.

The shopkeeper nodded and said with a smile, "Guest officer, please wait for a while." Not long after, Xiao Er brought a pot of black tea, the tea was fragrant, and it smelled good.

Mu Yu looked at the liquid that the tea bowl was quickly filling, "Big red robe? ”

"Guest officer, you really know the goods, this is the best tea in the shop, how about you taste it?"

"The taste is bitter and sweet, although I don't understand tea, but I also know that your tea is really good." Mu Yu approvingly.

The shopkeeper smiled innocently, "Guest officer, you use it slowly, then I won't bother." ”

"Wait, I have some questions for you." Mu Yu stopped the shopkeeper's footsteps, "The tea leaves in your teahouse are really good, how can it be so little?" ”

"Guest officer, you're new to the South, right?" The shopkeeper asked rhetorically, "Our shop is already good, and occasionally there are customers who can make ends meet. ”

"How so?" On the way here, there were not a few pedestrians on the street, and they were dressed well, so why was business so deserted.

"Come on, you also know that the epidemic in Xiaowan is serious, and we are here, and people are panicking." The shopkeeper said seriously, "But this is also thanks to Luan Pinghou and the emperor, and the timely treatment of the epidemic, so the epidemic has not spread to our Mucheng, and it has stopped." ”

Thanks to the emperor and Luan Pinghou? Mu Yu looked at Xie Chongning, who was sitting opposite him, as if he was not the one who was robbed of the credit.

"Since you said that the epidemic did not affect Mucheng, why are the shops still so crowded?"

"Our Mucheng is the main road for customs clearance between the north and the south, and the guests who came in the past are all businessmen in the past, but if you look at the south today, where is there still a little bit of vitality, so our business is naturally much worse." The shopkeeper sighed and looked out the window, "I don't know when this south will be lively again." ”

"That's true, it's been a bit of a rough year this year." Mu Yu followed the shopkeeper and sighed as well.

There are fewer businessmen in the past, so I'm afraid that most of her restaurant will be gone.

"I don't think you two are southerners." Shopkeeper looked at the two of them and asked.

Mu Yu pursed his lips and smiled, "Not now, maybe it will be in the future." After Xiao Er continued to go to the door to solicit guests, he said regretfully, "You also heard what Xiao Er said just now, I look at this restaurant, I'm afraid it won't be opened." ”

"What's not to do?" Xie Chongning chuckled, "Don't worry, as long as the epidemic in the south passes, Mucheng will soon return to its former prosperity." ”

Mu Yu looked at Xie Chongning with questions, waiting for his explanation.

"The north is cold, and it is not easy for plants to grow, and this is the time when there is a shortage of food, if it weren't for the epidemic in the south, this road would have been full of caravans."

"That's right, as long as the epidemic passes, the caravans in the north will definitely be more anxious to go to the south, and this road will soon be more prosperous." Mu Yu nodded, and the hot red robe in front of him suddenly became less attractive.

"Let's go, this tea is gone, let's go buy a shop, and while the shops next to it are in a hurry to sell, let's hurry up and get a good position."

Xie Chongning chuckled and grabbed her, "Don't worry, this traffic can't be solved in a while, and it's not bad for half a cup of tea." ”

"No, no, I'm in a hurry, I want to find a better cook today, otherwise this meal is really hard to swallow." Mu Yu drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and hurriedly walked to the shop next to him.

Sure enough, as the shopkeeper of the tea shop said, all the shops around him were closed, the shops were closed, and there were two big words for sale posted on the door.

Mu Yu knocked on the door of one of the shops that looked brand new, and a young girl came out of it, and pushed open the door impatiently, "Who?" ”

The little girl combed two of them, and she was no more than Cardamom's age, "Our store is closed and we are no longer doing business." ”

"Little sister, I see that your shop is ready for sale, let me ask the price." Mu Yu smiled and pointed to the two big words "for sale" on the door.

The little girl looked at the door, looked at Mu Yu and Xie Chongning, and gave up the position of one person, "Buy the store?" Then come in. ”

Although the outside of the store is brand new, the tables and chairs in the room have long since fallen a thick layer of dust, and even the wine cabinet behind the cash register is covered with cobwebs.

"You're going to buy a store." The little girl looked at the jade pendant on Mu Yu's waist, and asked in shock.

"Yes, where is your family, sister?" Mu Yu nodded and asked.

The little girl blinked simply, "Adult, there is no adult, this shop is mine." ”

The smile on Mu Yu's face froze, and he re-examined the little girl in front of him, "You said this shop is yours?" ”

"yes, my." The little girl nodded very seriously, walked to the cash register higher than herself, took out the card counting and fiddled seriously, "This shop was originally my grandfather's, but his old man left, so it was in my hands, but I don't know how to operate, so I thought about buying it." ”

She looked up at Mu Yu and carefully calculated the account, "This restaurant is on the second floor, the location is the central street of Mucheng, according to the price before the epidemic, the location of the land is seven hundred taels, and all the calligraphy, paintings, and literary games in the house are also three hundred taels, counting the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks and other sundries, there must also be one hundred taels, so it is one thousand one hundred taels." ”

Mu Yu and the little girl looked at each other and winked at each other, "One thousand one hundred taels?" "This little girl looks young, and the cards are played loudly, and she might as well go to other stores if she has this thousand and one hundred taels.

"I think I'd better keep shopping." Mu Yu retreated.

"Don't don't, don't be in a hurry to leave, we still have room for negotiation, you are really strange, you want to buy something, don't you know what bargaining is?" The little girl emptied the card counting with a complaining voice and started counting again.

"Look, I'll give you a new calculation, there is an epidemic in the south, this land is not worth seven hundred taels, I'll give you a five-fold discount, three hundred and fifty taels, the tables and chairs are also full of dust, I don't want it, give it to you, as for this calligraphy and painting, this thing can't be discounted, or three hundred taels, you see if it's only six hundred and fifty taels!"

Mu Yu licked his lips and chuckled, "You can settle accounts, since you can get a discount, why did you say such a high price just now?" ”

"Didn't I think you could make a fortune because you were dressed richly?" The little girl pouted and whispered.

"What did you say?" Mu Yu didn't hear the little girl's words clearly, and asked again.

The little girl immediately changed her words, "I didn't look at the little sister and you have a good face, so I gave you a conscience price!" ”

Mu Yu glanced at Xie Chongning beside him, and handed over a look, this little girl is young and young, but she can calculate, she doesn't know what the price of the houses in this place is, and she can't just settle it with a hammer.

Xie Chongning looked at her frowning and winked, and chuckled, "My wife thinks your price is too expensive." ”

When the little girl heard this, her face suddenly changed, "This is still too expensive?" She looked Mu Yu up and down, "Obviously dressed so rich, why are you so stingy." ”

Mu Yu looked down at the items on his body, "Where did you see that I was rich?" We're poor, empty-handed. ”

The little girl nuzzled at the jade pendant on Mu Yu's waist, "Oh, I see that your jade pendant has some money." ”

Mu Yu lowered his head and took down the jade pendant on his waist and chuckled, "This jade pendant was given by my father, but I was expelled from the house by my father a few days ago." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Xie Chongning and suddenly smiled evilly, "It's all about eloping with this man, and now I don't have much money on me." ”

The little girl nodded suddenly, "No wonder." She emptied her abacus again, and said with a sigh, "I can tell you, this man is reliable, the sow will go up the tree, you rich lady must be careful." ”

Mu Yu looked at Xie Chongning with a smile, "My sister is right, I really have to be careful." ”

Xie Chongning was not annoyed, and let Mu Yu ridicule him.

"Tell me how much price you can accept?" The little girl sighed and put down her abacus.

"I don't know the price of the land in this Mucheng, if you ask me to say a number, I really can't tell." Mu Yu replied honestly.
