I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

The milk tea shop opens at nine o'clock in the morning, one hour later than the fried chicken shop. However, because of the processing of raw materials, both employees went to work an hour earlier. At this time, they are busy making tea, boiling pearls, When making whipped cream, there is no idle time.

There was always a sweet milky aroma in the air, which made Diss, who hadn't eaten breakfast, feel a little greedy.

Fortunately, at this time, Darren saw that the boss brought guests in to discuss matters, and brought two glasses of freshly prepared oat milk with a wink.

Diss immediately thanked him, and impatiently picked up his cup and took a big sip.

The milk was freshly warmed, and the temperature was just right. The sweet and soft liquid filled the empty stomach, and Diss couldn't help but look relieved.

Although he usually prefers stimulating flavors such as beer and ale, who can refuse a cup of steaming and fragrant oat milk when he is hungry early in the morning?

Holding the milk with a smile on his face, he asked, "What kind of shop do you want this time?"

"The main requirements are those few requirements." Youxia thought for a while and said, "It needs to occupy a large area, and there must be a lot of people. The floor can be two or three floors. In addition, I would like to rent a warehouse to store goods."

"Warehouse, hiss—" Diss frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "Is the cellar okay?"

You Xia didn't care about the ground and the ground, nodded and said: "The cellar is also fine, but the place needs to be large."

"That's just right!" Diss clapped his hands: "I just received a house listing yesterday. It's on Pauline Street in the Chelsea neighborhood. The house meets your requirements. It also has a cellar, because it's closer to Schlevog. On the main street, the rent is more expensive.”

"How many?"

"Ten gold coins and fifty silver coins." Diss smiled innocently, raised a finger and said, "One year."

Youxia's breath was stagnant, and a house in Fedorin City actually cost ten gold coins. This is a sky-high price, almost worth three milk tea shops!

Seeing his dissatisfaction, Diss quickly explained: "The location of the store is really good, just at the fork in the old town leading to the City Hall Square, and the house was only built in the past ten years. It may not matter to you, but I really want to recommend it to you, if an elf shop can be opened in that location, it will be very popular!"

You Xia looked out the window and thought about it.

He has cooperated with Diss more than once or twice. Just from the last time the other party chose to take him to the slums to recruit workers, it can be seen that Diss is a good-hearted person. Besides, the previous two times Diss introduced him according to his requirements. The house was indeed to his liking.

Since he recommended it so sincerely, You Xia nodded and said: "Then show me, it happens that there is nothing else in the morning."

He wants to see where houses are so expensive!

·

When Diss really took him to the door of the store for rent, Youxia finally knew why the rent was so expensive.

It's not just a matter of location and floor space, but mainly because of the beautiful appearance of the house itself.

This is a typical Gothic building in his impression, with spires, thick walls, and straight lines!

The exterior wall of the house is light beige, and the wall is kept very clean. At the same time, because it is a storefront on the corner of the street, the owner of the house has installed beautiful large stained glass on the doors and windows on both sides of the street, through the glass. You can see the spiral staircase inside.

The arched windows on the second and third floors are also equipped with colorful glass. Although there are only three floors, it looks particularly tall because of the sharp roof.

If it weren't for knowing that there is no sect stationed in Rose City, Youxia would even want to ask, did this frankly open a church before?

"It turned out to be a tailor-made dress shop," Diss explained in a timely manner. "The boss is old, has no children and no heirs, so he rented out this shop."

You Xia lacks confidence: "I think my remodeled house may not be as good-looking as it is."

"How could it be? I think Mr. Youxia's shops are very distinctive, but the style of the house in front of you is very common on Schleivogel Street."

But what Diess said can't shake Youxia's deep-rooted aesthetics. He really thinks so. If he can directly move the facilities in the game store into it, and then connect electricity and water, he really doesn't want to destroy the original structure of the store. style.

"If I don't want to rent here, are there other shops that meet my requirements?" He couldn't help asking.

"Maybe I don't have any on hand at the moment." Dies wondered: "You think such a big house includes ten gold coins in the cellar. If you rent it separately, the warehouse and storefront will cost about the same. There may not be such a good location, and it is a normal place. At Chongjiekou, half a street away is City Hall Square, how convenient it is!"

You Xia was just asking casually, and after listening to his persuasive persuasion, he really felt that it was a good deal to rent this house.

"Go ahead and have a look."

Because it was originally a dress shop, as soon as you entered the door, apart from the smell of dust, there was also a smell of dried flowers and silk.

You Xia raised his head and looked around. Compared with the majestic and tall exterior, the interior of the store is much more ordinary. It is generally decorated with more wooden structures, and the walls are painted with light yellow wall paint. It looks quite small and fresh. .

The furniture inside has basically been evacuated, and the huge room is empty, and the loud voice still echoes.

Afterwards, he followed in Diss' footsteps to see the rooms on the second and third floors and the cellar on the basement floor. He was generally satisfied, and the matter of renting the store was roughly settled.

"The owner is not here recently, and he will be back in a few days. How about I inform you when he comes back?" Diss asked when he returned to the first floor.

"Okay, yes." You Xia responded, and his eyes fell on the wooden spiral staircase.

At this time, the sun was already hanging high, and the hot light shone through the stained glass on the iron railing of the stairs, leaving behind slanted shadows, giving a sense of intertwined times that are both brilliant and lonely.

You Xia couldn't help sighing again, it's a pity that it's rented by him, and this place will soon become a daily necessities store with snow-white lights and shelves full of shelves!

Fortunately, when the store takes back the game system, the house can be changed back to its original state, otherwise he would feel like a cold destroyer of civilization.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion have always been strict, and today is no exception. In the long circular corridor, there are a pair of guards standing guard every three meters. Outsiders will be checked for identity and belongings when entering or leaving the hallway.

Les wore a night suit given to him by Youxia today. Because the light and fluffy clothes were too inconsistent with his original style, he was almost stopped by the guards when he entered the corridor, thinking that he was a businessman from other places.

However, even though he successfully passed the corridor guard, he still failed to enter the gate of the mansion, but was blocked by a group of six or seven people outside the gate.

"Let me see, isn't this the Sunshine Knight who has returned from victory?" The man in the lead had short-to-medium hair in golden linen, and his skin was brownish, but he wanted to apply white powder on his face. It is uncoordinated.

He is not as tall as Les Gao, so he held his head up and put on a haughty and sarcastic expression: "If you came back with the army on the day you returned to the city, maybe your father would give you a few glances, now, hmph, he is afraid I forgot you to be between the toes of the toilet sweeper!"

Les glanced at him lightly, and looked away.

Orr was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched: "Ten years of etiquette have been learned in vain, and you can't even call brother when you meet?"

Seeing that there was no response from Rice, he deliberately sarcastically said: "A monster is a monster, no matter how you teach it, you can't learn the rules of the human race!".

Les turned his head indifferently, and walked sideways.

"Just say the monster and leave, shouldn't you get used to it long ago?"

Orr straddled him to stop him, turned his gaze to Rice's clothes, snorted and said, "Why didn't you come here wearing a knight uniform, maybe you were kicked out by your comrades in arms, they finally Can't stand fighting with an ugly monster that turns half-human, half-demon at the slightest emotion, can you?"

Les pursed his lower lip, his eyes instantly turned into red vertical pupils.

"Wow, it's going to change, it's going to change, look!" Orr greeted the guards behind him, "He's going to be demonized, and disgusting snake-like scales will appear on his face soon!"

Les clenched his fists, staring at Orr with blood red eyes, and took a step closer to him.

Orr raised his chin in a bluff: "You don't mean to do it, this is the City Lord's Mansion!"

Les didn't want to do anything, but there was always a dangerous emotion in his heart, encouraging him to wantonly crush everything he didn't want to see...

At this moment, he heard a familiar voice floating from somewhere on his body.

"Less."

It was Yuxia's voice.

Rice's eyes widened slightly. He thought it was a hallucination at first, but then he heard "Les" again, and he suddenly realized that he took out a small bronze mirror from his pocket.

In the bronze mirror, You Xia was still sitting on the sofa with milk tea. Seeing him appearing, he first smiled, then seemed to notice something was wrong, and frowned slightly: "Why are your eyes red again, what happened?"

"Who are you talking to?" Orr asked, but when he didn't get an answer, he reached out to grab the mirror.

Les took a step back and hid, complaining to the elf in the mirror expressionlessly: "I met a bad guy."

Orr was furious: "Who are you calling a bad guy, I am your brother!"

Youxia heard the voice on the other side of the mirror, thinking that Les was being bullied by his family, and deliberately increased his volume: "Don't worry about the bad guys, your family is in a special situation, and it's normal to meet a few top-notch relatives. The more you talk to him, the more he likes to provoke you, so let's not give him eyes and go another way."

"Hmm." In fact, there was no other way to go, but Rice still responded straightforwardly.

For some reason, with You Xia's company, he is like a stray puppy who suddenly has a master he can rely on. With the support of the master, he has the confidence to do whatever he wants to do with confidence. , and no one will stop it.

Seeing that Orr was still blocking the front, Les simply jumped and stepped on the corridor pillars of the corridor, turned over and landed, and walked directly past them towards the gate.

You Xia didn't know what happened, but saw the picture in the mirror spinning around for a while, and when it stopped, there were several stunned people behind Rice.

He pulled the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Finish things early and come back early, and try to catch dinner in time."

I don't know that word pierced Rice's heart, his blood-red vertical pupils gradually faded back to normal color: "Okay."
