My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 132
Jiang Tangtang returned to the county seat and began to prepare for the opening on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. At the same time, he asked Lu Shili to inquire more to see if there were any suitable shops for sale.

Generally speaking, Yahang does not do business before the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but there are also special circumstances.For example, your family has been hit by a disaster and you are anxious to sell your house.

As soon as Lu Shili inquired, Zhu Chengjiang said: "Don't tell me, Brother Lu, there are really a few shops with good locations and cheap prices."

Lu Shili raised his eyebrows, "Are you talking about the burned shops in Jingfu Tower?"

Zhu Chengjiang chuckled and said, "Brother Lu's head is full of inspiration. He can guess right."

"What's the situation over there?" Lu Shili ignored Zhu Chengjiang's compliment and asked carefully: "What's the price?"

This is a matter assigned to him by his sister-in-law, and he must handle it well.

Zhu Chengjiang said: "The owner of Jingfu Tower has some bad luck. Ever since the shop was burned down, everything has been going wrong. No, during the Chinese New Year, the family's concubine and her lover ran away with the family's money. , several other shops also had operating problems. I had to sell the shop that was burned down."

Lu Shili knew a little bit about why things were not going well in Jingfu Building, but the store next door also sold it?
He frowned slightly and said: "You said the shops next to Jingfu Building also sell it? Why, there is also a concubine in their house who took money and ran away with her lover?"

"That's not it!"

Zhu Chengjiang said: "The two shops next to Jingfulou are ordinary people. The business of the shops was not very good at first, and now half of the shops were destroyed by fire. The owner of Jingfulou is not willing to lose money. The two families are thinking It was not cost-effective to repair the shop, so at the end of the day, I decided to sell the shop."

Lu Shili pondered for a moment and then said, "What price is the shop asking now?"

Zhu Chengjiang gestured with three fingers, "This is just the other party's bidding price. If you really want it, the price will definitely be lower."

Lu Shili stood up and said, "Let's go see the current situation of the two shops first!"

Just do what they said, and the two immediately went to meet the owners of the two shops.

The two of them went to the house on the left side of Jingfu Tower first. Due to the wind direction and timely fire fighting, her shop did not burn too much.This family asked for 300 taels of silver. If they really wanted it, they would be willing to pay less, but at most it would only be 20 taels less.

The house to the right of Jingfu Tower was badly burned, and most of the shop was burned down.

If the house on the left can continue to do business with a little repair, the house on the right is basically the same as Jingfu Tower and needs to be completely rebuilt.

The owner's price was also very low, and he was willing to sell the shop for 220 taels of silver.

This is similar to the price Yan Yongshou paid for selling Jingfu Building.

Lu Shili had some thoughts in his heart, but he made no immediate decision and said he would go back and think about it.

Seeing what he said, a flash of anxiety flashed across the face of the owner of the shop, and he advised: "Brother, if you really want to buy a shop in the city, I advise you to buy it. Although my shop was burned down, But the location is good, the place is spacious, and it’s a good deal.”

Lu Shili glanced at the man and said slowly: "If it's so good, how can you persuade me not to keep it for yourself?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "If possible, why don't we keep it for ourselves? But when we bought this shop, we spent all our savings. We and I are not good at business. The shop has been open for a few years, and we can barely make ends meet." , now that the next door has been involved and half of the shop was burned down, we really can’t afford to repair the shop! Otherwise, we would be reluctant to sell it!"

No matter how pitiful the shopkeeper said, Lu Shili remained unmoved.I went back to the pastry shop first and told Jiang Tangtang about the situation in the shop.

Zhang Lu and Du Mudan now know how to make French breadsticks, and Jiang Tangtang is currently teaching them new varieties.This time I made it using milk and raisins.

The milk was bought by Jiang Tangtang from a farmer's house on the outskirts of the city.The raisins are homemade from the grapes in her space.

The addition of these two things greatly enhances the flavor of the bread.

As soon as Lu Shili entered the room, he smelled a strong milky fragrance.He suddenly lost his composure and ran to the kitchen happily: "What delicious food is sister-in-law making today?"

Jiang Tangtang took a piece of freshly baked bread and handed it over and said, "Try it. This is what the shop plans to sell after the new year. How do you think it tastes?"

Lu Shili couldn't care less about flattering, so he just took a big bite of bread. After finishing one piece of bread, he gave a thumbs up to Jiang Tangtang and said, "Sister-in-law's cooking is really delicious. Do you have any more? Here's another one."

"You're still eating, but you won't be eating for a while?" Although Jiang Tangtang said this, he handed another one to Lu Shili.

In fact, she can understand Lu Shili's love for bread, and she is also very confident about the new products launched by her shop.

I remember when she was a child, didn't she feel the same way when she ate bread for the first time?
She was already a jewelry designer, so why she still learned how to make Western pastry was actually related to her childhood experience.

Lu Shili ate another piece of bread before talking to Jiang Tangtang about the shop.

He explained the conditions and prices of several shops.

Jiang Tangtang said: "What do you think?"

"I think what the store owner said is right. The location in Jingfu Building is quite good. If this incident hadn't happened, the shop in that location would have been difficult to buy."

Lu Shili said: "It only costs more than 200 taels of silver to buy a foundation. It's really expensive!"

Jiang Tangtang thought the same way, "Can we talk about the price? If it can be lowered to less than 200 taels, I can buy it."

Lu Shili casually picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea: "There shouldn't be much problem with Jingfu Tower and the shop on the right. I'm afraid the owner of the shop on the left is unwilling."

Jiang Tangtang took a few banknotes and handed them to him: "Then go and negotiate and buy the two shops. But in addition to these two shops, you have to look at another shop that doesn't require much repair at all."

Lu Shili didn't ask Jiang Tangtang why he wanted to buy so many shops. He just took the banknote and said, "I'll go right away."

"Wait a minute." Jiang Tangtang stopped him, wrapped some bread in oil paper and handed it to him: "It's Brother Zhu who's helping you move around this time, right? It's not good to trouble others when you're celebrating the New Year. You Just bring something with you."

"That boy is in a good mood."

Lu Shili took the things and went out, looking for Zhu Chengjiang again.The two spent a lot of time bargaining back and forth with the shopkeeper, and finally spent 180 taels to buy the shop on the right side of Jingfu Building.

"Brother Lu, I'm afraid Dong Yan's family isn't so easy to talk to. It won't be easy to get it at this price."

Zhu Chengjiang ate the bread Jiang Tangtang asked Lu Shili to bring, and regarded Jiang Tangtang as his own sister. "It's not easy for us to successfully buy the shop."
