Chapter 85 Buying a Restaurant

The shop selling new-style paper in Chang'an City has been extremely lively these two days. Before the shop opens every day, a group of people are already waiting there.

At first they were sent by the aristocratic family, but later the scholars and literati who couldn't buy paper became impatient, so they came early and joined the ranks of the panic-buying army.

Several waves of people lined up clearly on both sides, casting disdainful glances at each other from time to time.

The shopkeeper opened the store door, and everyone rushed in like wild dogs running wild, fighting with all their might.

Needless to say, the servants of those aristocratic families, even those scholars and literati were blushing and completely lost their usual demeanor.

The shopkeeper is the calm commander of the servants who are used to this kind of scene.

In less than two hours, all the new paper shops in Chang'an City were sold out again.

Tianxiang Pavilion

Lu Dage sat in the lobby, looking at Zuixianju opposite where there was a constant flow of customers, and let out a long sigh.

At the beginning, I came to Chang'an alone and worked hard for many years. I don't know how much I donated from various favors, so I built this Tianxiang Pavilion.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

Seeing that their business is getting better and better, some people can't stand it anymore.

Although he also has a backer in Chang'an, when the opponent becomes a family, he looks pale and weak.

Suppression from all walks of life came one after another. There was a problem with the food, the cook was pried into a corner, and the mothers of the juniors fell ill collectively. . .In just a few months, Tianxiang Pavilion was completely empty.

At first Lu Dage was still unconvinced and planned to get the place back, but when he later learned that Yixianju on the opposite side belonged to the Zheng family, all unwillingness and resentment disappeared.

Frustrated, he planned to sell the shop and return to his hometown to develop.

It's a pity that if the aristocratic family makes a move, there will be death but no life!
There were still a few people who planned to take down the shop, but when they went back and found out that the Zheng family was suppressing Lu Dage, they all stopped.

The Zheng family is going to swallow up their own shop!

Lu Dage had no choice but to lower the price again and again, even down to the current 500 guan.

At the beginning, I spent more than 500 guan just to buy this shop, not to mention the money spent on the decoration later, which was already sold at a premium.

Even so, no one cared.

As the days passed, Lu Dage's heart slowly cooled down as he looked at the Tianxiang Pavilion, which was no different from the closed one.

If it didn't work out, I could only take the hundred strings issued by the Zheng family and leave. . .

Otherwise, in the end, don't say that you can't get a penny, I'm afraid that this little life will be gone at any time.

Just yesterday when Lu Dage was going to talk to the shopkeeper of Yixianju about this matter, Wang Er appeared.

Seeing that someone wanted to buy his Tianxiang Pavilion, Lu Dage looked forward to it at first, but after thinking about his current situation, the sense of expectation in his heart became cold again.

I'm afraid it's another person who doesn't know, and it's inevitable that he will give up because he is afraid of the Zheng family.

Now Lu Dage was sitting in the lobby like this, anxiously waiting for Wang Yin's arrival.

"Shopkeeper Lu, this is our young master—Young Master Wang." At around ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Yin brought Wang Er to Tianxiang Pavilion.

"I've seen Mr. Wang." Seeing Wang Yin coming in, Lu Dage hurriedly greeted him and cupped his hands.

"Shopkeeper Lu, we smart people don't pretend to be dark...ah no, we smart people don't speak dark words. I'm afraid you're selling your 500 shop at a loss." Wang Yin said straight to the point: "If you say the shop is fine , do you believe it yourself?"

Hearing this, Lu Dage sighed inwardly: I'm afraid the business will fail again today. . .

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Wang, I have no choice but to act..." Lu Dage sighed, and told Wang Yin the ins and outs of the matter.

Anyway, as long as one inquires about this matter, anyone can know, and it is impossible to hide it.

"Yin Chui Si Ting~" Wang Yin was happy when he heard Lu Dage finished telling what happened.

This is a ready-made bargain for myself.

As for the suppression by the Zheng family?In Wang Yin’s opinion, it’s totally innocuous~
"I want 500 coins!" Wang Yin immediately decided.

"If Prince Wang is in trouble, there is no need to force it... What... you said you want it?!" Lu Dage said in surprise with his eyes widened.

Happiness came so suddenly that Lu Dage was completely stunned, and once wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, I want it." Wang Yin nodded.

"But the Zheng family..." Lu Dage hesitated.

"Then you don't have to worry about it." After Wang Yin finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several open boxes appeared on the ground, full of money.

Lu Dage immediately took a few steps back in fright, his heels touched the table behind him, and he sat down directly on the ground.

"This... this..." Lu Dage stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at the box on the ground, unable to say a word.

"Stop this and that, hurry up and put away the money." Wang Yin walked over and patted him on the shoulder, then wandered around in the lobby.

"Your son...is he an immortal?" After regaining his senses, Lu Dage asked in a low voice to Wang Er who was beside him.

"That's right!" Wang Er raised his head and looked proud.

"Huh~" Lu Dage let out a sigh of relief, turned around and went to the back room to get the deed.

After a while, Lu Dage came out with the house deed and a young man.Lu Dage handed over the house deed to Wang Yin, and sent the boy out to rent a car.

"What's the plan for shopkeeper Lu in the future?" Wang Yin, who turned around, looked at Lu Dage who was sitting on the stool, and couldn't help asking.

"Of course I left Chang'an and went back to my hometown." Lu Dage looked at Yixianju opposite and sighed: "This city of Chang'an still doesn't seem to be suitable for me."

"Then are you willing to stay and continue to be the shopkeeper of Yixianju?" Wang Yin asked again.

"My lord, what do you mean...?" Lu Dage blinked, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

"That's right, I'm going to hire you to continue to be the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Pavilion." Wang Yin nodded: "Are you willing?"

"I am willing!" Lu Dage nodded and agreed immediately.

Originally, I had planned to go back in despair, but I didn't expect this pie to fall directly on my head now!
If you become a shopkeeper for an immortal, wouldn't you be able to imbibe the immortal spirit in the future?
Thinking of this, Lu Dage almost trembled with excitement. . .

As for the Zheng family?

When I was the owner of Tianxian Pavilion before, I was indeed afraid of the Zheng family, but it's different now!
Now the real boss has changed, and he is just a small shopkeeper who works for others.Even if the Zheng family suppressed him, they couldn't find him.

If there is any difficulty, isn't the prince responsible for it?

My new boss seems to be an immortal at present. Are immortals still afraid of them mortals?
Taking a step back, even if this fairy is fake, the big deal is that he can continue to take the money and go back to his hometown.

It's nothing more than a matter of going back a few days earlier and going back a few days later.

After thinking through all this, the worries in Lu Dage's heart were swept away.He was about to get up and move the money into the house, but he hesitated just as he moved his feet: If they moved the money into the house by themselves, they wouldn't take the opportunity to run away with the money, would they?By then, wouldn’t he be destitute of all his property? . .

But this prince is an immortal. How can an immortal deceive a mortal like himself?
No, what if the immortal is unreliable. . .

. . . . . .

Lu Dage fell into endless tangles and sat there awkwardly. Just as he was about to get up, he sat down again and felt as if there was a thorn in his butt. . .

Fortunately, this embarrassment didn't last long. When he saw his nephew appearing at the door, Lu Dage finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle, the carriage is here, shall we leave now?" The boy who had gone out before came in and asked.

"Why are we leaving? We're not leaving." Lu Dage waved his hand: "Xiao Qing, go and move the money back."

"Oh," Lu Xiaoqing heard this and walked to the box. Just looking at the box, he felt worried again: "Uncle, it's too heavy to move."

"Won't you go back and get a smaller box?" Lu Dage felt a pain in his head. . .

My nephew is quite obedient and willing to work, but his brain is a little not very bright. . .

In the end, I simply gave the coachman some money and asked him to help move it together.

"My boss, no one dares to come to our Tianxiang Pavilion to work now. What do you think we should do next?" Lu Dage stood next to Wang Yin and asked carefully.
