Chapter XVIII

"Then do what you say. Let's get down to business first."

"So where are we going now?"

"Of course, I went to restaurants and inns. ”

"Okay, let's get this done first. Let's go, then. ”

Fulin Street in Qiaoyin County, the street extends to the north, and Fulin Street is the most lively street in Qiaoyin County. The streets are full of pedestrians, and the usual market is here, but today there are many officers and soldiers patrolling the streets.

There are two shops, an inn and a restaurant on Fulin Street, which has some reputation in Qiaoyin County. Everyone here knows that. These two are bitter rivals. The two families do not give in to each other, and they have reached the point where they would rather die than get along with each other.

The relationship between these two stores has to start from the first few years. The restaurant here is named after this street, called Fulin Restaurant, and it is also a decades-old shop on this street, and this shop is famous for its wine and food. The reputation is also very good. The shopkeeper of this shop is an old man who has two sons under his knees. The old man fell ill and died, and before he died, he entrusted the restaurant to his two sons. gave a large sum of money to the younger son, but left the restaurant to the eldest son

The younger son suggested that the accommodation environment of the restaurant should be improved. Make the restaurant more comprehensive. However, the eldest son advocated adhering to his father's inheritance and devoted himself to making good wine and food. After that, the two had an argument. The youngest son couldn't compete, so he opened an inn opposite this restaurant in a fit of anger to prove himself. It was called the Fulin Inn, but the younger son did not get the food skills that his father passed on to his eldest brother. I had to run the inn myself. Since then, the two have been in opposition.

Pang Linghu explained to Long Gongzi and Lan'er the origin of this, that is, they fought back and forth, so the business was getting worse and worse. Don't talk about making money, just don't lose money. ”

"Then it seems that there is still a great chance to buy this restaurant and inn. Lan'er looked confident.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as Miss Lan'er said. Lin Ba felt in his heart that things were not as easy as he imagined. After all, this is the family business left to them by their father.

"In this way, Brother Lin, you and Brother Pangda go to the restaurant to negotiate with him, and I and Long Gongzi go to the inn to negotiate, and we will go our separate ways. Lan'er proposed.

"It's a good thing, it saves a lot of time. But this golden ticket can't be torn apart, only one party can hold it, what if the other party has no money. ”

"It's okay, you have the golden ticket. I'll just take the five hundred taels of silver tickets. ”

"Miss Lan'er, are you sure?"

"I don't dare to grasp it, try it. Lan'er smiled softly.

"Then let's go. ”

Long Gongzi and Lan'er walked into the Fulin Inn. At this time, the inn seemed a little deserted. There were hardly any people, just a few people in the hallway ready to go up and down.

The shopkeeper sat at the counter, almost asleep.

"Knock, knock, knock" Long Gongzi walked over and knocked on the table at the counter.

"Guest, guest," said the shopkeeper, who sat up in a hurry, and helped his crooked hat by the way.

"The two of you are here to stay. "Although the shopkeeper was a little confused, he was still very enthusiastic.

"Shopkeeper, we are not here to stay in the hotel, but there is something else. ”

"Oh, what's that? Could it be that you want to inquire about something? You ask, though I may not be able to tell, and those who know will tell you. ”

The shopkeeper's words made Guangshi and Long Gongzi a little admired, and many people didn't bother to pay attention to you if they didn't come to your store to do business.

"Oh, the shopkeeper misunderstood, in fact, we are here to buy your inn. As soon as Lan'er came up, she explained the intentions of herself and the others.

"What? I heard you right. Little girl, young man, this is not a joke, it will cost at least two thousand taels of silver to buy this inn, and I will not sell it. "The shopkeeper looked at Long Gongzi and Lan'er, both of them were still a few milky little hairy children. How can it be like someone who really came to buy my inn. Eighty percent of them were sent from the other side, and they wanted to buy my inn.

In fact, when the shopkeeper heard that someone wanted to buy this inn, the deep strings in his heart still plucked slightly. Running this inn by himself, competing with his brother, in fact, he has lost a lot of money, but he is afraid of face, and he doesn't want to back down, but if his brother comes to him to ask for peace, he will definitely agree without saying a word, and if it goes on like this, it is estimated that the store will lose all its money in a few years. These people must have been sent by their own brother, and they saw that I was a little depressed here. I want to buy here.

"Well, the price is negotiable. We have the money. "Long Gongzi is a little anxious to hear that it is not for sale.

"Forget it, thank you shopkeeper, since the shopkeeper is unwilling, let's go to the restaurant opposite to see if they sell it. Lan'er walked outside.

Long Gongzi was about to pull Lan'er. What is this for, why don't you buy it if you say it's okay.

"Wait, you said to go to the other side?"

"Yes, what's wrong? We came from out of town, and we wanted to do business here, so why bother not finding a good way, so we wanted to buy your inn and run it. If you don't sell it, I'm going to go and check it out. ”

"I see. Then we can discuss it, I thought you were sent by my eldest brother?"

"What do you mean by that?" Lan'er pretended to be completely unaware.

"The girl doesn't know. The shopkeeper sighed softly. And then he said.

"The girl doesn't know, the restaurant opposite is actually owned by my brother. It's just that there is a slight discord between us, so we have been in a state of opposition all these years, so my business is also declining day by day, you can also see, there are almost no people in this inn, and they are about to be unable to open. So I also want to resell this inn, but who will buy it, just now the girl said that you want to buy it, I thought it was sent by my brother, so I don't want to sell. But since it's not. Then we can talk about the price. It just so happened that I went somewhere else with this money, so I didn't bother to fight with him"

When Lan'er heard this, there was a hint of joy on her face that no one noticed, but she recovered in an instant.

"Shopkeeper, in that case, I won't buy this inn. ”

"What, why don't you buy it?" Long Gongzi was a little angry, this was originally for Lin Ba to have a stable place for dozens of people in Dulong Village, and promised others things. Suddenly saying that if you don't buy it, you won't buy it, isn't this a trick?

Not only was the dragon bow surprised, but the shopkeeper was also surprised, why didn't he buy it all of a sudden?

At this time, Lan'er's expression suddenly looked serious.

"Shopkeeper, if you want to resell this inn because of the discord between brothers, I won't buy it, brothers are originally harmonious, and they should help each other. And you guys, if I buy this inn, what will your brother think of you, and if it causes the relationship between your brothers to deteriorate even more, I will be ashamed even if I buy it. ”

When Long Gongzi heard this, he felt that he had just misunderstood Lan'er, and looked at her apologetically.

Lan'er actually didn't bother to pay attention to him, with Long Gongzi's current IQ, he was serious about sabotaging here.

"Brothers should be in harmony with each other and help each other. The shopkeeper muttered the phrase several times.

"I didn't expect the girl to be very old, but she is also a temperamental person. What a shame you are saying. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Lan'er arched her hand.

"This may also be predestined. Heaven has asked you to untie our knot. Yes, we are brothers, so why bother each other. After all these years, it's time to wrap up. ”

"Oh, what is the shopkeeper going to do?" Lan'er asked in a whisper.

"Girl, I will resell this inn directly to you, even if the price is cheaper, I will admit it, and after the sale, I will go to my brother and tell him clearly. Since then, the two brothers have left this Qiaoyin County. Open another shop and run it well. The shopkeeper's face was visibly excited.

"Well, since the shopkeepers have said so. We do the same. Then let's not go far, let's talk about the price. ”

"Just two thousand taels of silver, how about it?"

"Well, two thousand taels of silver is indeed very reasonable. ”

"Since the girl thinks it is reasonable, then I can transfer the promise of the restaurant to you now, but I have to transfer it to you completely, and I have to go to the yamen to register my name first, and do it according to the rules, so as to prove that the owner of this shop is you, because you have to pay taxes to the prefect every year. That's why we have to use this method. ”

"Okay, that's a deal. Lan'er really smiled at this time.

And Long Gongzi also secretly admired Lan'er at this time.

"Girl, I still have a request, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say the shopkeeper. ”

"If I go to my brother this time, I will persuade him to leave here and go somewhere else, and his restaurant will be empty, and I wonder if the girl has the ability to buy the restaurant as well. In terms of price, it will definitely not make the girl embarrassed. ”

"Okay, no problem" Lan'er was also a little excited at this time, she didn't expect that there would be such a good thing, it didn't take any effort to come by.

"The shopkeeper doesn't hide it. In fact, the restaurant opposite, we also sent someone to buy it, planning to act at both ends, our original intention was to buy these two stores, but I didn't expect that the two of you would have such a story. So we started thinking that we could buy the next one first, and now it seems that the shopkeeper has really helped me a lot. ”

"Well, since there is such a good thing. That's great. The shopkeeper also felt that it was not a matter of effort, but he was very satisfied.

"You two go with me to the other side, and we'll make it clear. ”

Long Gongzi and Lan'er nodded, and then the three of them walked out.
