Chapter 159: Buying an inn, everyone is happy
"In the past, when business was booming, I couldn't book anything here. Hua Niang looked at the quiet backyard and said with some emotion: "At that time, our family did not increase the price, and there were still five copper plates for one night every day, but many people could not book it, so they could only live in ordinary rooms." ”
Xiao Yue is still confident in the recovery of the post-war economy, so she is not worried that there will be no guests in the inn in the future, but such a spacious backyard is so empty to plant flowers and grass, it is really a bit of a waste, she stood on the second floor, and looked at the backyard carefully, she found that in fact, there is another attic here, so that there are four Tianzi rooms.
According to her observations, there is still a lot of waste in the inn, for example, the kitchen occupies four rooms, one for cooking, one for stacking firewood, and one for storing miscellaneous items and eating. And the flower lady herself lives in three rooms, in addition, there is a laundry room on the first floor, and there is a room on the second floor to pile up sundries.
In fact, this inn has two stairs, and the back of the stairs can be transformed to have two utility rooms, and then put aside the room where the flower girl lives and uses, and this inn can add at least ten rooms.
Of course, these must be renovated after Xiao Yue buys the inn, so Xiao Yue feels that she can talk to Hua Niang about the price at this time.
"Hua Niang, I've seen the inn, some places are satisfied, some are not very satisfied, but these are not important, the important thing is how much money are you willing to sell this inn?"
"I'm sure Childe should have known about my inn before he came. Hua Niang pressed her hands on the railing on the second floor, looking at the depressed situation of the garden in front of her, and couldn't help but feel sad.
She sighed, "I am reluctant to sell this inn, and my husband is even more reluctant to sell it, but if you can't even eat, you can take care of so much there." ”
Satsuki just looked at her silently and didn't interrupt her.
"Selling this inn, I was a desperate choice, so I didn't dare to shout the price. I know that Childe is a smart person, and I don't dare to hide it, this inn has only earned more than fifty taels of silver in the past six months, except for expenses, and if I don't use foreign debts, I can only barely survive. But my husband is not in good health, and his monthly expenses are too great, and this little money is simply not enough. ”
"Then how much does Hua Niang think you will sell this inn?" Xiao Yue saw that she was a little hesitant and had to ask this question again.
"I told the shopkeeper Cheng that it was three hundred taels of silver, but I was worried that Gongzi would think it would be expensive, so the price was negotiable. ”
"Why do you think I'm expensive?" Xiao Yue actually thinks that the price of three hundred taels of silver is very fair, after all, it cost her four hundred taels of silver to buy a restaurant before.
Hua Niang paused and said: "Don't hide it, there are three shops between my shop and Jiang Shangyue Restaurant, one is a fur business, one is a tailor shop, and one is a grocery store that sells foreign goods, they have also been closed for several months, the shops are all in the front and back yards, and the grocery store that sells foreign goods is next door to me, he only shouted for one hundred and fifty taels of silver, although his house is smaller, but no one wants to buy it until now." ”
Xiao Yue suddenly remembered that the shopkeeper Cheng said that the small yard that his family bought in this small alley was one hundred taels of silver, no wonder Hua Niang was worried that she would not buy it.
Xiao Yue smiled and said: "The house is different from the house, I think your price is still very fair, but if you are willing to reduce the price, I am also happy to see it, hahaha." ”
Seeing that Xiaoyue was so happy, Hua Niang gritted her teeth and said, "Childe, two hundred and fifty taels is my reserve price." ”
Xiao Yue grabbed Hua Niang's hand, shook it and said, "Okay, two hundred and fifty taels of silver, deal!"
Xiao Yue knew that she was now a man, so she pulled it away after shaking her hand, but Hua Niang grabbed her sleeve with her backhand and said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Childe! You really saved my husband's life." ”
Xiao Yue looked into her eyes and said knowingly, "No, the person who can save your husband is yourself." ”
Hua Niang asked in surprise, "What do you mean by what Childe said?"
Xiao Yue took her hand away and said unhurriedly: "I'm not a good person, I bought your inn because I wanted to make money." So, I asked you to stay and run the inn because I value your ability. ”
When Hua Niang heard these heart-wrenching words, no matter how strong she was on weekdays, she was also moved to tears at this time.
"This inn is not mine alone, I want you to continue to run it and continue to be its master. ”
Hua Niang didn't seem to believe her ears, "How can this be? I sold the inn to Childe, how can I be the owner of the inn?"
Xiao Yue lowered her head, smiled and said, "This inn can not be for one person, it can be for two." ”
Hua Niang seemed to understand something, she wiped away the tears oozing from the corners of her eyes, and asked, "Childe, please explain it clearly." ”
Xiao Yue didn't explain directly, but asked, "If I pay two hundred and fifty taels of silver to buy your inn, you have repaid Jiang Shangyue's arrears, how much is left?"
Hua Niang thought for a while and said, "There are two hundred taels." ”
Xiao Yue then asked, "Then are you willing to take out another fifty taels of silver to be the owner of the inn?"
"Fifty taels can be the owner of the inn?" Hua Niang was stunned.
"Then I'm willing to sell it to you, and if others want to buy it, I won't buy it. ”
Hua Niang knew that there was a mystery in Xiaoyue's words, and asked: "That son is willing to sell to me, there must be conditions." ”
"Yes, I need you to be the shopkeeper of the Fengyi Inn, and I can't claim that I am the owner to the outside world. ”
Hua Niang suddenly felt like she was hit on the head by the silver falling from the sky, and her head was a little dizzy, "This... None of this is a problem.,Childe.。。。 In doing this, the slave family still doesn't understand why. ”
Xiao Yue said with a smile: "All this is not for anything else, it's just that I have taken a fancy to the talent of the flower girl, a powerful person can make the dead wood spring, if the flower girl can devote herself wholeheartedly to the inn, then I believe that the inn will get better and better in the future." ”
Hua Niang looked at Xiao Yue, and suddenly remembered the girl who stayed last night, the girl said that Ah Niu would meet a noble person today, but she didn't think that this noble person was also her own nobleman, she tried her best not to lose her temper, but tears still left down the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, "Childe attaches so much importance to the slave family, and the slave family must do their best to repay Childe's kindness." ”
As she spoke, Hua Niang bent her knees and prepared to kneel for Xiaoyue.
Xiao Yue was so frightened that she quickly helped her up, "What is this for? I can't stand this the most, don't do this in the future." ”
Yun Yan also helped Hua Niang on the side, and persuaded him: "Childe actually made it clear just now, the only person who can help you is yourself, if it weren't for your ability to manage the inn, Childe would not be willing to spend money to buy this inn, so you will run the inn well in the future is the greatest reward to Childe." ”
Xiao Yue looked at Yun Yan with satisfaction, and added: "You paid the money, and the inn will be yours in the future, in addition to the remuneration of your innkeeper, I will also give you another fifth of the profits from the inn's operation." Therefore, in the future, if the inn is well run, the more money you make, the more money you can get. ”
