Chapter 11: Taking over the restaurant
Seeing Erya, the shopkeeper was speechless in surprise, in his heart, because of this girl, he was fortunate to see the most prosperous side of Fuxing Restaurant, and now the restaurant can see this lucky star again when he comes to such a field, and the shopkeeper is happy.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and smiled: "Miss Lu, why is Miss Lu here?"
"Did the owner come to the restaurant today?" Erya asked straight to the point.
"The owner ......" the shopkeeper stopped talking, "The owner hasn't been to the restaurant for several days, and he always comes back every once in a while to come and see, and he has never come to see it for so long." ”
"Do you know why?" Erya could barely guess something in her heart, and nine times out of ten it was because of Zhang Yuanbao.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper sighed and said: "I'll tell you the truth, our owner has no heirs, just such a nephew, from childhood to adulthood, as a result, he gambled outside that day, owed a huge debt, and people said that they wanted 10,000 taels of silver, and the owner for this nephew, he scattered all his family wealth, and used all the money that could be moved, but the money was all together, and the guys in the restaurant stopped doing it without wages, and no one came to eat if he didn't buy enough ingredients, and the restaurant became like this."
After speaking, the shopkeeper sighed again, "It is estimated that the owner will not come today, maybe when this restaurant will be sold!" ”
Listening to the shopkeeper's pour a stomach of bitter water, Erya wondered why not buy the restaurant, and was thinking about it, when he heard a cough, "What are you doing here, shopkeeper?" ”
Er Ya turned around and saw the owner who was different from the past, full of alcohol, and when he saw Erya, he smiled, "Why is Miss Lu here, let's sit inside." ”
Erya didn't speak, and followed into the restaurant, where the empty hall seemed too deserted.
"What's wrong with you, boss?" Erya said tentatively in her tone.
"It's nothing, my unruly nephew was burned to death by the fire last night, and I only found the charred body this morning, I feel a little uncomfortable." As he spoke, he poured another sip of wine into his mouth, and suddenly cried in a dumb voice: "But if I am a day earlier!" One day! He wouldn't have died so miserably, but he ended up with no money and no money! ”
Erya didn't have any sympathy for Zhang Yuanbao, sat aside and asked, "What does the owner plan to do in the future?"
The proprietor drank wine, made a move, and said with tears: "What should I do, I plan to sell the restaurant, and then take the money back to the ancestral house to buy some land!"
"If the owner wants to sell the restaurant, sell it to me, okay?"
The proprietor looked up at Erya, "Sold to you?" It's good, it's good! ”
Walking out of the gate of Fuxing Building, Erya had an extra note and title deed in his arms, and a silver ticket of 1,000 taels in his arms. But Erya understands that this time she has earned it. This restaurant is worth three thousand taels,
I bought it for a thousand taels and made a net profit of two times, which is amazing when I think about it. I don't know if the owner will regret it in the future, no, it's the former owner.
After sorting out this matter, Er Ya followed the road she had walked last night to the burned building, which was still brightly lit last night, and the palatial building had been reduced to ashes in the fire.
Thinking of the strange old man she met last night, Erya frowned, and her eyes drifted into the distance.
The old man said that she should worship him as a teacher, who was the old man, and what was the "treasure" he robbed? He also told her a strange spiritual cultivation continent, which also mentioned the black tiger. Yes, Black Tiger. Thinking of the most important purpose of today's visit, Er Ya began to look for it on the shore, and after searching for it several times, he did not see any trace of Ren Heihu.
Erya will not be mistaken, she desperately tried to save her in the river last night, and it must have been a black tiger who arched her outward, but what happened later?
She vaguely remembered being dragged into the water by a force, choking on a few mouthfuls of water and losing consciousness, waking up and returning to the Baoyue Inn.
Where exactly did the Black Tiger go?
Will the man who saved her know?
The black tiger is so smart, it must be fine.
"Why is the fourth brother so preoccupied, but what has happened?"
"Big brother, no, maybe I didn't have a good rest last night."
"Last night, that's it, don't take that matter to heart, I wanted to lure out that person, but I didn't expect him to be more powerful in kung fu, and it's understandable that you missed."
Directly in front of the room sat a man in a purple dress, and the man was so beautiful that people couldn't help but be fascinated. On the chair on the right, there was a man in red, who was the man who saved Erya that day. The man who is called the big brother is the man who sits in a high position.
"The fourth brother didn't sleep well last night, let's go back and rest, we should set off tomorrow." The man in purple said softly.
"Yes, the fourth brother will retire first." The man in red turned to leave.
Seeing the red figure walking away, the purple-clothed man smiled at the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile as fresh as the spring rain in March and as warm and gentle as the summer breeze in July.
From a distance, there is a gentle and jade-like young man, no one can guess that this is the decisive king of the Great Calendar-Gong Jueyi.
Under the leadership of the monarch Gong Jueyi, the great calendar embarked on the road of peace and prosperity all the way, and Gong Jueyi was a monarch with a good reputation. As the eldest son of the first emperor, he inherited the throne naturally, and the only competitive adult prince at that time was the fourth prince Gong Xuanchi.
However, the fourth prince was cold by nature, and his biological mother was not favored, and he did not have the heart to seize the throne, but became friends with the eldest prince Gong Jueyi.
But when it comes to friendship, children of the royal family, who can see the real thoughts.
The two brothers were both born very well, one looked gentle as jade, harmless to humans and animals, and the other looked cold-faced and cold-hearted, rejecting people for thousands of miles. Needless to say, who will also prefer the former.
Gong Jueyi was lying reclining, one arm supporting his head, looking a little more lazy and evil, he suddenly remembered the woman under the big banyan tree that night, the fourth brother thought he didn't know who saved the girl, and his slender fingers played with the teacup, as if everything was in his palm.
This girl actually made his cold-hearted fourth brother fall in love, what a miracle!
Erya, who walked around the lake for a few laps but found nothing, returned to the Baoyue Inn and went downstairs to find the shopkeeper to settle the bill. Since there was no news, Erya also decided not to stay any longer, without further ado, she would leave for the dock tomorrow to take a boat to Lin'an.
So urgent, one is because this is the waterway that the big river must pass, if the black tiger is swept away by the water, then she has a great chance of finding the black tiger, and the second is that this place of right and wrong can not stay for a long time, Er Ya took a thousand taels of silver tickets and put it in Fuxing Building to let the old shopkeeper continue to do Fuxing Building, and she will come back from time to time in the future, and she will notify her of her residence, so that the shopkeeper can find her.
In the end, she asked the shopkeeper to help her transfer fifty taels of silver tickets to Li Fu, the village chief of Lingyuan Village. Erya still remembered that he had done him a great favor, and he remembered in his heart that he originally wanted to take more, but when he thought of some concerns, he only let him send fifty taels over. Even if it is fifty taels, in the eyes of the farmers, it is a sky-high amount, enough for them to eat and wear for several years.
The next day, the weather was gloomy, overcast, and there was a muffled thunder from time to time, Er Ya took the two girls to the dock, the boat had already been contacted, and someone greeted Er Ya when they got there.
"Girl, you're here, the boat boss said, if it's late, you won't leave today, you also know that this is the flood season, and the weather is not good today, I'm afraid of accidents." The boy in coarse cloth led the way in front of him.
It is a two-story ship, painted with vermilion paint on the outside, and it looks a little magnificent. To Lin'an, the poor can only take a small boat and walk, while the rich mostly choose to take a big boat directly to Lin'an, which is fast and free from the bumps of the carriage.
Erya had something on her mind, and she didn't talk to her, so she took her two younger sisters to the booked wing. After the second girl entered, she closed the door, and the young man's eyes flashed slightly outside the door.
The boat set off quickly, it was windy today, and it was during the flood season, and the boat was a little unusually bumpy at first, and after a long way, the boat gradually returned to stability on the gradually widening water.
Erya was lying on the side of the bed looking at the river view, if it weren't for today, she would never know what it was like to "say that the white emperor is in the clouds, and the thousands of miles of Jiangling are still in one day" is what it is. Although it is not as exaggerated as in the poem, this is the fastest transportation that Er Ya has ever taken.
After looking outside for a while, Erya was a little dizzy, so she simply lay on the bed, holding the sleeping Ling'er and falling into a dream. The moist river breeze poured into the house through the windows, carrying a dusty smell that drove away a hint of the summer heat.
The three sisters didn't have lunch, they slept until the night, after a few muffled thunders, there was a crackling raindrop, and the second girl who was woken up got up to close the window, the hull shook badly, and then the third girl and the fourth sister also woke up, and the second girl gave them some dry food for the two and two of them, and pushed open the door to go outside to see what was going on. As soon as he walked out of the door, the hull of the ship swayed violently. Erya said secretly: "It's not good!"
"Oh no, the bottom of the boat is leaking!"
