Little Chef [Rebirth]

Hearing this, Ning Xiuyuan and Mo Fanyu both turned their heads to look at the place where the voice fell, and saw a richly dressed nobleman waving a folding fan with his right hand, looking at them with a smile on his face.

——Isn't that person the same Gu Jing who bought a ginseng and a ganoderma lucidum for 700 taels of silver?

Seeing Gu Jing, Ning Xiuyuan's eyes flashed with surprise, obviously he did not expect to meet him here.

"How will you be here?"

Gu Jing put away the folding fan with a 'shua' sound, smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, tilted his head, and said, "Why did you come here, so why do I come here."

"..."

Ning Xiuyuan frowned when he heard the words, feeling a little uncertain, if Gu Jing really wanted to compete with him for the shop, he would not be able to compete at all, but if he just gave in like this, he would not be willing.

After all, this pavement suits him so much, and it may be difficult to find such a pavement in Nancheng again.

Gu Jing stared at Ning Xiuyuan's frowning and pensive expression with great interest, and the corners of his mouth were even more curved. Then, he slowly continued what he had just said, and continued: "...However, I just talked to the shopkeeper. Talked about it, now I don't really want it."

After speaking, his eyes glanced over Mo Fanyu who was standing beside Ning Xiuyuan inadvertently, blinked, and then retracted casually.

Ning Xiuyuan: "..."

Seeing Ning Xiuyuan's silent appearance, Gu Jing seemed to be smiling but not smiling.Then he stood up, held the fan in his left hand and tapped his right hand lightly, then walked to Ning Xiuyuan's side and patted him on the shoulder, smiling, "I have something to do later, so I'm leaving first. I hope you It is a very good pavement after all to be able to win this pavement.”

Hearing this, Ning Xiuyuan looked at Gu Jing in amazement, a little puzzled, since he knew the shop was good, why didn't he want it all of a sudden?

However, Gu Jing obviously did not answer his doubts, but after passing him, he left the box, turned around, and disappeared.

Although it is inexplicable, his main purpose is to take down this shop, so if Gu Jing quits voluntarily, it will be fulfilled for him. As for doubts, these thoughts are temporarily thrown aside.

His eyes fell on the middle-aged man in the private room who had been drinking tea from the very beginning but did not make a sound. Ning Xiuyuan cupped his hands at him and first introduced himself: "I am Ning Xiuyuan, and he is my younger brother. Let's come I came to you because of this shop, and we want to buy it."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Mo Fanyu to sit down, and Ning Xiuyuan did not beat around the bush, but very bluntly mentioned his intention to buy a shop.

The middle-aged man's surname is Xu, who is the shopkeeper of this restaurant and also the owner of this shop. He nodded at Ning Xiuyuan after hearing what Ning Xiuyuan said, and then said: "My surname is Xu, just call me shopkeeper Xu."

"Okay." Ning Xiuyuan smiled, and then seemed to think of something, and asked, "I think there is only a restaurant of your size nearby, and it stands to reason that the business should not be so deserted. Can you enlighten me?"

"Hey." Hearing this question, Shopkeeper Xu sighed deeply. After that, expressions of indignation, regret, and annoyance appeared on his face, and then he gradually calmed down.

"It's all because I mistrusted others and owed a lot of money. Those people hired some local ruffians to make trouble every day. The guests were all scared away. I couldn't even pay the clerk's wages, and the cook couldn't afford it. They all left one after another, and now only Ah San and Ah Si are still thinking about their old relationship, and they haven't left yet."

"So that's the case." After hearing the ins and outs, Ning Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He remembered that a restaurant he had seen with his own eyes closed down like this in his previous life, and he understood it somewhat.

After Mo Fanyu listened, he turned his head to look at Ning Xiuyuan, and then asked aloud: "Please allow me to ask again, shopkeeper Xu, have you paid off the money you owe? Otherwise, we will buy your money." After the pavement, if someone comes to make trouble every three days, wouldn't we suffer a loss."

"It's over. The reason why I sold this restaurant is to collect enough money to pay off the debt. It just so happens that this shop is worth some taels of silver." Shopkeeper Xu showed the IOU to Mo Fanyu, and said, "After paying it back , I also want to pay off Ah San and Ah Si's salaries."

After Mo Fanyu's confirmation, he put away the IOU, pondered for a while, and after a while, he put down the celadon teacup in his hand, sighed again, and said.

"Actually, I told that Young Master Gu just now that I have no choice but to sell my shop, so I hope that the person who bought it can continue to open this restaurant and continue to take in Ah San. These two children, Ah Si, are both orphans...so I would venture to ask, what will the two young masters do with this shop after they buy it?"

Without hiding anything from the other party, Ning Xiuyuan said bluntly: "I'm not going to hide it from shopkeeper Xu, we just want to open a restaurant."

"That's good." Shopkeeper Xu smiled, as if he was really happy: "If you are going to open a restaurant, it will be excellent. You have also seen my shop, the location is excellent, and there are The independent courtyard can accommodate people, ah, by the way, do you need me to show you around again?"

"I don't need to look at this shop, but if it is possible, can you take us to the yard to see?" If the yard is big enough and not bad, he may consider moving here to live, and it will be more convenient at ordinary times .

Shopkeeper Xu said: "Of course it is possible, you follow me." Then he stood up and walked ahead to lead the way.

The yard attached to the pavement is an independent courtyard with five rooms in total, two of which were used by shopkeeper Xu as a storage room, and one as a kitchen, and one of the other two was used by shopkeeper Xu himself. Another room was evenly given to the shop assistants.

"This yard is almost like this, what do you think?" After walking around with the two of them, shopkeeper Xu asked aloud when they stopped.

"En, very good." Ning Xiuyuan smiled and replied.

"Then let's go back and continue the discussion." After finishing speaking, shopkeeper Xu led them back to the box on the second floor.

After sitting down again, shopkeeper Xu made Xiao Er serve tea.

Ning Xiuyuan took a sip of tea, and then asked, "I wonder how much money shopkeeper Xu wants to sell for this shop?"

Shopkeeper Xu thought for a while, and replied: "This shop is really good, how about it, I don't want to earn more from you, just 850 taels."

Hearing this, Ning Xiuyuan and Mo Fanyu looked at each other. After reading the expression in each other's eyes, Ning Xiuyuan pretended to be contemplative. I really want to buy your shop, but isn’t 850 taels too much?”

Shopkeeper Xu saw the expression on Ning Xiuyuan's face, and frowned himself. He tapped lightly on the table with his right index finger, and after a while, he said slowly, "Well, I really need this The sum of money is urgent, but seeing that you two really want this shop and plan to continue to open the restaurant, then I will drop another 50 taels of silver, but this really cannot be less.”

Subconsciously looking at Mo Fanyu, seeing Mo Fanyu nodding at him, Ning Xiuyuan pursed his lips, and said: "Then let's settle it like this."

"Okay. You stay here for a while, and I'll fetch the land deed and hand it over to you." Shopkeeper Xu smiled as if he was relieved, as if he didn't expect to sell the restaurant so soon.

After sitting for a while, the shopkeeper came back with the title deed. Ning Xiuyuan was not familiar with this kind of thing, so he checked it himself and handed it to Mo Fanyu, asking him to take a look as well.

Mo Fanyu is satisfied with Ning Xiuyuan's trust, so he is very serious when checking. Although he rarely touches it, but fortunately it is easy to distinguish the real from the fake. The land deed has the seal of the government office. This official seal is not easy to imitate, not to mention that in the field of knowledge they need, familiarity with various official seals is the most basic.

After checking and confirming, he nodded to Ning Xiuyuan, indicating that this is indeed a real land deed.

Shopkeeper Xu stood aside and didn't interfere. He had indeed heard that someone could cheat people out of money by imitating real estate deeds, so what Ning Xiuyuan and the others did would not disgust him.

Seeing Mo Fanyu nod his head, Ning Xiuyuan felt relieved. Although he didn't know why, he always felt that Mo Fanyu could make him feel at ease, so he took out the banknote from his pocket, no more, no less, just in time It was 800 taels, and then handed it to shopkeeper Xu.

"This is 800 taels of silver, please be sure."

Shopkeeper Xu took it and looked at it, and found that the number was indeed not too much, so he carefully hid it next to his body, and then raised his head and said: "I may need to stay for another day today, and I will be there tomorrow morning." For those who leave on their own, we will make an agreement to formally hand over the shop tomorrow."

"Alright." Ning Xiuyuan thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
