Chapter Ninety-Three: Acquisition of Shops
Early the next morning, Chen Yan and the five of them left the inn one after another and walked towards the shop that Zhao Lin said.
As Zhao Lin said, this shop is located in a relatively remote location, far away from the square, at the edge of the market.
It takes half an hour to get from the inn where I stayed before.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
At this time, Chen Yan was standing on a street that was not wide, looking at everything in front of him.
The street is not wide, only about 20 meters in appearance, and it is the last branch of the main road in the city, which is already some distance from the square.
There are only four or five shops on this street, and the rest are just one or two small inns, which seem to be extremely deserted.
"No wonder you only need two thousand spirit stones to make a move, this lot is really not good", Chen Yan looked at the situation in front of him, his expression was a little helpless.
"Brother Zhao, which store are you talking about", Chen Yan then turned his head and said to Zhao Lin beside him.
"Right there, Captain, it's the shop called Youji Pharmacy," Zhao Lin said, pointing to a shop on his right.
"Oh, let's go!" Chen Yan nodded, and then walked forward.
"What are you buying? Huh, Zhao Daoyou, you're here?" Chen Yan had just walked into the hall of the store, and before he had time to observe the situation around him, an old voice suddenly came.
The old man only saw Chen Yan at first, followed by a few people, and then found out that it was Zhao Lin and a few people, so he quickly changed his words.
Chen Yan saw the person in front of him clearly at this time, and saw an old man standing at the counter at the back of the hall.
The old man was pale, his eyes wandered, and he seemed to be absent-minded and preoccupied.
"Ding Daoyou, you haven't made a move in this shop yet!" Zhao Lin flashed in front of Chen Yan and said to the old man in front of him.
"No, the location of this shop is not good, and how many people look at it, even if someone comes to see it, I am not satisfied with the bid, if it is not urgent, I am not willing to sell it at such a low price, after all, although this place is remote, but I can also earn a lot of spirit stones every year."
The old man glanced at Chen Yan and replied weakly.
"How about it, Zhao Daoyou, have you thought about it, the price is a lot", and then looked at Zhao Lin with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Hehe, I brought our captain today, you can talk to him!, he is in charge of this matter", Zhao Lin smiled and let Chen Yan come to him.
Old man Ding looked at Chen Yan in front of him, and then looked at Ling Fei, who was looking around behind him with his hands in his hands, his eyes were a little puzzled.
"Yes, it's me", Chen Yan looked at Old Man Ding's eyes, and couldn't help crying and laughing in his heart, but he still said coldly.
"Oh, no matter which of you is in charge, just take out the spirit stone", Old Man Ding didn't care about Chen Yan's tone, and seemed to be a little anxious.
"Spirit stone is naturally not a problem, but since it is a business, it needs to be discussed, we don't need the materials in the store, and we don't plan to do these businesses, but the rest of the shop plus the courtyard behind, to be honest, the location of this shop is indeed a bit remote, if you want two thousand spirit stones, it is a little expensive, and I don't want to beat around the bush to say a lot, a price, 1,800 spirit stones, if the Taoist friends are not satisfied, then forget it, I think the other bidders are probably not as high as mine!"
Chen Yan tapped lightly on the counter with his right hand and said a little casually.
"One thousand eight, isn't it a little low, are you adding a little bit?" Old man Ding said with some reluctance.
"This is already my bottom line", Chen Yan shook his head, his tone was very firm.
"This ......!" Old man Ding's face was cloudy, as if he was struggling with something.
"Okay, according to the words of Daoyou, one thousand eight is one thousand eight, but I have one request," the shopkeeper Ding made another request after thinking for a moment.
"What are the requirements?" said Chen Yan, still with the same face.
"Dare to ask Daoyou what kind of business do you want to do?" Seeing that Chen Yan's words were ambiguous, the shopkeeper Ding still asked.
"What does this have to do with us?" Chen Yan looked a little puzzled.
"Hehe, this naturally has something to do with it, Daoist friends just say it", the old man Ding, who had been worried all the time, also showed a smile.
"Is this something we haven't thought about yet, but it must be related to spirit grass and magic weapons!" Chen Yan pondered for a moment, but still said what he thought in his heart.
When Chen Yan talked about the spirit grass, the biggest reason was because of the relationship between that mysterious space.
This is also what Chen Yan just thought, with the store as a cover, it will be much safer to sell the spirit grass by himself in the future.
Since a few Daoists want to do a Lingcao business, there are still some goods in the old warehouse, and a few Daoists must also need some goods to fill the store, otherwise a few Daoists will not be able to find the source of goods for a while, so they will delay the opening", the old man Ding said with great concern.
"Oh! Daoyou is right, I don't know how many spirit stones are needed for the remaining spirit grass in You's warehouse to change hands", Chen Yan looked pale and glanced at Old Man Ding.
"Hehe, let Daoyou see and laugh, presumably Daoyou also knows, the old decay transfer of this shop is also a last resort, only because something happened in the family, and the spirit stone is urgently needed, so this shop will be sold, and now it is good to have a little more spirit stone, these remaining spirit grasses, now can not be sold one by one, if the Taoist friend buys all at once, I only charge a cost price, a thousand spirit stones", Ding shopkeeper with a wry smile on his face.
"A thousand spirit stones? That's a lot, could it be that Daoists have spirit grass that is more than a hundred years old," Chen Yan quipped.
"Hehe, Daoist friends laughed, where can there be more than a hundred years of spirit grass in a small shop like ours, and now the highest year in the store is only fifty years", the shopkeeper Ding smiled bitterly and quickly explained.
"In this case, let's take a look at what Lingcao is saying first, after all, seeing is believing, and I will decide whether to buy it after seeing it", Chen Yan didn't want to say more, and immediately asked for it.
"Hehe, this is natural, a few Taoist friends come with me", Shopkeeper Ding then walked out of the counter and said to Chen Yan and the others.
Then Shopkeeper Ding turned around and walked behind the counter.
Chen Yan and the five people immediately followed.
Behind the counter is a small gate that leads to the yard at the back.
Chen Yan came to the courtyard, looked at the courtyard in front of him, and couldn't help nodding secretly, feeling that this spirit stone was still worth it.
The courtyard in front of him is really as Zhao Lin said, even if there are more than a dozen people, it is not a problem.
Directly in front of Chen Yan is a hall, on the left is the kitchen, storeroom, and the subordinate room, and on the right is a row of side rooms.
Surrounded by the second-floor shop behind him, it forms a square, but it is a small courtyard.
"A few Taoist friends, please come with me", the owner of the Ding shopkeeper couldn't help but urge when he saw Chen Yan and the others stop.
"Well, Daoist friends lead the way", Chen Yan collected his thoughts and said slowly.
After speaking, he hurriedly followed the footsteps of the shopkeeper Ding, and Fairy Xiao had seen it all the others, but they didn't look at it much.
Only Ling Fei was still looking around.
"When I arrived, a few Taoist friends, please stay, because it is a little inconvenient, please also ask a few Taoist friends to stay, I will take out the spiritual grass for a few Taoist friends to check", walked to the left side of the courtyard, in front of a door that looked like a warehouse, Ding shopkeeper saluted Chen Yan and a few people, with an apologetic look on his face.
"It's okay! Daoist friends can go and get it, we can wait", Chen Yan waved his hand a little impatiently, indicating that he didn't care.
After smiling apologetically, Shopkeeper Ding turned around and gently patted the corner of the door three times.
There was a loud "click", and a crack popped open in the warehouse door in front of everyone.
