Chapter 138: Fengyi Inn, the New Year is difficult
Satsuki doesn't know whether to hate or like winter now, and the thick clothes she wears are bloated, but she can cover her increasingly plump breasts, and she doesn't know what she should do in the summer.
Finally finished fighting with the bandeau, she asked Yun Yan to bring breakfast to the study, and then went directly to the study to see Xu Chengchang.
"Childe, you're up. Xu Chengchang saw Xiaoyue from a distance and helped her open the door in advance.
The wind was too strong this winter, Xiaoyue felt that her whole body was going to be blown away by the wind, and saw Xu Chengchang open the door, and stepped into the door in three steps and two steps.
"It's too windy, and the weather doesn't look good. Satsuki entered the door and straightened her clothes.
Xu Chengchang hurriedly closed the door, "It seems that it is going to snow most of the time today." ”
"Eun, I guess so. Xiao Yue found a chair, sat down and asked, "What are you looking for me today?"
"Hui Gongzi, it's about the inn. Xu Chengchang said as he helped Xiaoyue make tea. ????" Oh, it's that Fengyi Inn, right?" Xiao Yue thought of the cold and deserted appearance of the inn, and felt a little unreliable, "I think their business is too bad, I'm afraid I'm going to lose money if I take over, right?"
"It doesn't seem to be a good situation now, but there is a guest at his house, who is also a regular customer of our restaurant, and I have been inviting him to drink for the past few days, and then I have a general understanding of the inn from the side. ”
"Oh," Xiao Yue felt that this Xu Chengchang ghost had a lot of ideas, and she said with great interest: "Then let's hear it." ”
"This inn is actually a time-honored brand in Yingjun City, the same as the restaurant opened by the shopkeeper, the ancestor is surnamed Qin, this family business has been operated for several lifetimes, and when it is passed to this generation, I don't know how, the three brothers died when they were young, and finally raised a third child, which is the current shopkeeper, everyone calls him Qin San, and the result is still a sick seedling, but the old shopkeeper still has a vision, and now Qin San married a good family. Xu Chengchang also figured out the origin of the Fengyi Inn.
"Are you talking about the proprietress who is in charge now?" Satsuki took a sip of tea, as if she had heard a story, and listened to it with relish.
"Yes, this proprietress turned out to be a business, her mother's surname is Dai, is an only daughter, her name is Chunhua, after marrying, everyone calls her Hua Niang, she was smart and clever when she was a child, so her parents went out to do business, they took her with them, when they came to Yingjun City to do business, his family lived in Fengyi Inn, and the two families ordered a baby kiss very early, and then this generation of parents had a waterway to transport goods, something happened, they all passed away, and Hua Niang married with the family's money. ”
Xu Chengchang inquired in detail, and Xiaoyue also listened carefully, and didn't notice that the snow had begun to fall outside the house.
"I don't know what's wrong with this Qin family, the people are getting thinner and thinner, and when it comes to Qin San's generation, he is the only one left. His health is not good all the year round, he relies on the medicine of the Holy Hand Hall to hang his life, and the house and the house are all operated by the flower girl, this flower girl is also capable, and now many guests are looking at her face to go to the customer inn. Xu Chengchang talked about Hua Niang, and his expression was faintly admired.
When Xiao Yue saw Xu Chengchang describe it like this, she was also very curious, and she wanted to meet the female shopkeeper.
"Then the inn's business is not good now, and it is also disturbed by the war?"
"Of course, this is one reason, and the other reason is that there are some accidents in their family. Xu Chengchang sighed a little and said, "This person, if you have bad luck, unlucky things will appear one after another." ”
"What do you mean by that, what's going on in his house?" asked Satsuki closely, not wanting to miss a single detail.
"According to my estimates, there are only twenty rooms in this Fenglai Inn, two copper plates in each room for one night, and when it is full, there are forty copper plates a day, which is one hundred and twenty taels of silver in a month, and if the cost is deducted, it is estimated that you can earn a hundred taels of silver at most, which is still the case of full living. In the past two or three years, the business of the inn has not been good, and I heard the guests who stayed in the hotel that there were up to five to eight rooms with guests every day, and only a few taels of silver were recorded every month. ”
Xu Chengchang said here with emotion, "And this Qin San spends ten taels of silver every month to take medicine, at the beginning of the year, Hua Niang's son was also sick, and he spent a lot of silver, but the pity is that the person has not been saved, and he did not survive in the summer, and he died young, this Qin family's family is almost used, and the money he earns now is not enough even for Qin San's medicine!"
When Xiao Yue felt that everyone was unlucky, she also sighed: "This is really pitiful, this is about to celebrate the New Year, and the New Year of this Fenglai Inn is estimated to be sad." ”
"But it's not, this flower girl has been coming to the shopkeeper to talk about the sale of the inn these days, and the shopkeeper can't make up her mind, so let me ask for an idea, I want to figure out the situation of this inn first, let the son know more, and then make a decision. ”
"Well, you're right. Xiao Yue found that Xu Chengchang was becoming more and more stable, "Maybe I can help her pass this year this time, but what good is it for us to do this?"
"I took the time to look at the environment of the inn yesterday, and found that this inn is actually much larger than the front hall and backyard of our restaurant, I heard the shopkeeper say that the price of the flower girl is very cheap now, and it is estimated that it is less than three hundred taels of silver, which is also the reason why the shopkeeper is tempted, but in the end he has to take the idea. ”
"How much money do I have in my account now?" Xiao Yue usually doesn't take the initiative to check the accounts, but this involves a large amount of money, and she must know it in her heart.
Xu Chengchang is now more and more familiar with the accounts, and he opened his mouth to come, "Originally, there were five hundred taels of silver in the accounts, but later I bought the courtyard house, plus repairs and purchases, a total of two hundred taels were spent, and a total of three hundred and fifty taels were received that month, and another one hundred taels were spent to buy national bonds, and now there are five hundred and fifty taels left, which has deducted the silver for the family." ”
"Yes, I see. Xiaoyue felt that she could spend three hundred taels to buy an inn, and she could take out the money herself, but whether the money was worth spending in the inn or not, she still needed to think again, "In this way, you talk back to the shopkeeper Cheng, make an appointment, and I will meet this flower girl in person." ”
"Well, I know, I'll go to the restaurant and let the shopkeeper arrange this matter. Xu Chengchang has always been resolute, and after speaking, he left and went to Jiang Shangyue.
Xiao Yue became more and more interested in this inn, she remembered the book that Yun Yan told her before, and arranged for Yun Yan to go to the warehouse of Bailan Book House to help her find the book.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the snow is overwhelming, Xiaoyue feels weird and terrible, she touched the wound on her forehead, it can almost heal, there are still a lot of things for her to worry about this New Year, she sighed, looked at the snow-covered garden, thinking about what things she is allowed to ask personally, those things can be arranged for others to do.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the snow, Xiao Yue rubbed her eyes, thinking that she had seen it wrong, but there was indeed a black shadow standing in the back garden, and her heart beat faster.
