Chapter Eighty-Four: A Shop in the Suburbs
I didn't say anything all night, and when I woke up, it was already dark.
Seeing the emptiness around me, I felt an inexplicable loss in my heart.
recalled the tenderness of last night, only to realize that he was robbed of his first kiss.
To tell the truth, Li Qianxue is beautiful, has a good personality, and is also proficient in feng shui and formations.
It is estimated that a man would not refuse such a beautiful woman's embrace.
But for some reason, I always felt uneasy in my heart.
Probably because the Li family's attitude was not clear at the beginning, there was a gap.
But no matter what, Li Qianxue's embrace made me a little uncomfortable.
After thinking for a moment, I got up and washed up, and then went downstairs.
I saw that in the kitchen on the first floor, Ning Yu was busy with an apron.
Hearing the movement, he turned his head suddenly, and saw that it was me who greeted him with a smile: "Master, are you awake?" Come and have breakfast! ”
I looked at the dining table, there was a big table full of breakfast, and Li Qianxue was already eating.
"Where did this come from?" I asked.
Li Tianxue glanced towards the kitchen: "It's all done by your apprentice!" ”
I was a little surprised, I didn't know that this kid still had this ability.
I also subconsciously sat down to eat and tasted carefully, and the taste was really good.
He looked up at Ning Yu and asked, "Where did you get this skill?" ”
Ning Yu served a breakfast again, scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I have been interested in cooking since I was a child, and I started studying it when I was in elementary school. ”
I smiled and nodded, but I didn't see it.
Ning Yu suddenly thought of something and asked me, "Master, what is the purpose of our coming to the Central Plains?" You never told me. ”
I pondered for a moment, shook my head, and said, "You don't understand it now, but when the time comes, you will understand." ”
Ning Yu followed me for a while, and he also knew what to ask and what not to ask, and after listening to me, he nodded silently and sat down.
Maybe it was because of last night's meal, I was so uncomfortable eating this meal that I didn't dare to look up at Li Qianxue the whole time.
I always feel that staying in the Li family will be a problem sooner or later.
After breakfast, I found an opportunity to talk to Li Qianxue and asked her to send someone to send us to the outskirts of Shangdu.
Li Qianxue asked me very puzzled: "What are you doing in the suburbs of Shangdu?" ”
I told her the truth that my grandfather had left me a shop in the suburbs and that I had to redecorate it.
If there are no accidents, we will eat and live there during these days in the Central Plains.
Li Qianxue was very disappointed after hearing this, and twisted for a long time before she frowned and said to me: "Can't you not go?" ”
"Of course not, my grandfather still has a lot of things for me to do, and I can't do any of the things behind the shop if I don't go to that shop."
She thought for a moment and spoke again: "Then you can go to the shop during the day, and come home at night, and I will personally pick you up every day." ”
I was a little helpless, as if I really couldn't leave.
I was silent for a long time before I spoke again: "This way, you take me first!" Let's talk about what to do! ”
That's all said and done, even if Li Qianxue is unwilling, she can only do what I want.
In the afternoon, the Li family sent us to a feng shui funeral street in the suburbs.
The road surface here is still a cement road, because the perennial traffic is crushed into a mess, and the wind blows dusty, showing desolation.
There are still a lot of shops on both sides, some selling paper ties, shroud coffins.
There are also some shops with signboards at the door, fortune telling, batch eight characters, palmistry, look at the opening date, and treat children's fright.
The whole street looks very eerie, and not many people come here to run errands on a normal afternoon.
For ordinary people, this kind of place is a symbol of bad luck.
But for people in this industry, this is everything, and this bad luck is the food.
I glanced around and grinned, "That's a great place to stay." ”
According to Grandpa's letter, we walked to the end of the street and looked up.
A whitened billboard eroded by wind and rain was unrecognizable.
After carefully identifying it for several minutes, he finally could see the first three words, which were the Fengling Mansion.
Although I don't know why Grandpa called this shop that.
But now I can be sure that this shop was left to me by my grandfather.
After looking at the shop and the door, I pulled up half of the bricks, and soon the door opened.
The moment it opened, it was dusty.
Looking at the dust half a centimeter thick, I couldn't help but faint.
He slapped his nose and walked in.
The shelves were covered in dust, basically a mess of groceries, and the shop had two back rooms, one with a bed and the other with a toilet.
I turned on the faucet, and it was rusty water that flowed out first, and then three or four minutes later.
I sighed, at least I could clean it with water.
Li Qianxue is not too dirty, the three of us bought all kinds of cleaning supplies, and it took a whole day to clean up the shop inside and out.
Looking at this situation, it is estimated that it is not a matter of three or two years, and it is very likely that no one has been here for ten years.
It was only in the evening that it was all cleaned.
Just as he was relieved, the door was slammed.
A man who looked a little old walked in with a scar on his face, and his upper body T-shirt was half-lifted, leaking out his belly, which also had a few scars.
He swallowed the melon seeds, and the skin of the melon seeds was thrown on the ground casually, but his eyes scanned the store wantonly.
Then he suddenly spoke: "Hey, you're new to the store?" ”
I was a little surprised, I didn't want to deal with him.
After all, the shop we had just cleaned was thrown away by him, which was very annoying.
But when I think about it, maybe it's the next-door neighbor, after all, we just came here and wanted to know something from others.
So he politely said to him: "Yes, boss, are you nearby?" ”
The man casually spat out the skin of melon seeds, and then said impatiently: "Don't say it's useless, open a store here, and pay the management fee and sanitation fee." I remember that this shop has been in place for almost five years, 13,000 a year, a total of 65,000, and I will hand it over at the office in a while! ”
I narrowed my eyes and asked, "What management fee and sanitation fee?" ”
Because it was written in the grandfather's letter that he bought the shop and there were receipts and certificates, and no one had come during this time, where did the management fee and sanitation fee come from.
The man pursed his lips and said impatiently: "I have already brought it to you here, and you can do it yourself." Anyway, I warn you that before seven o'clock, I will bring someone to collect it, either take the money, or you will not open this shop! ”
With that, he turned and left.
Ning Yu looked at me and asked with a serious expression, "Master? Are we being blackmailed? ”
I grinned, "It's kind of a blackmail, knock it on my head, I want to see what he is." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a plainly dressed woman walked in outside.
He spoke to us: "You are the people of the Immortal Master, right?" ”
