I am refining elixir in Douluo

Chapter 40 Notting City is ours now
Qin Ming stepped forward, knocked on the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and then returned to Dugumo's side, waiting quietly for the City Lord's Mansion to open.

Not long after, the door of the City Lord's Mansion opened, and it was the deaf old butler of the Xiao family who opened the door.

"Why are you two again? Did you come back and retreat the land? I just said that the land over there is too barren and not suitable for farming. Now, come in quickly. I will take you to the city lord and take the land away. It’s refunded, such a large piece of land is worth a lot of money.” The old housekeeper looked warm-hearted, and pulled Qin Ming inside.

"Grandpa, you misunderstood. We are here to buy a shop this time, not to retreat." Qin Ming quickly explained that the uncle was too enthusiastic, and Qin Ming was too embarrassed to break free, so he had to hold the uncle and smiled wryly. Explained a bit.

"Buy a store? If you want to buy a store, just go to the street and buy it. Why are you coming to the City Lord's Mansion, and my children, let me tell you that the stores in Notting City are not good. There is no business here." The old housekeeper was puzzled. After asking a question, he earnestly persuaded Qin Ming and Dugu to be silent for a while.

"We bought a lot this time, so we still need to discuss it with the city lord in advance, otherwise it will be difficult for us to make a decision." Dugumo stepped forward to hold the old housekeeper, and explained with a smile.

"Oh, I need to buy more, okay, you young people are really capable, but you still have to be careful when doing business, if you are not careful, you will lose your fortune." The old housekeeper reminded him kindly.

"Understood, thank you for reminding." Dugu responded with a smile, and he also knew that the old housekeeper was kind to them.

"Okay, then follow me." After the old butler finished speaking, he walked forward on his own.

Dugumo and Qin Ming looked at each other, smiled, and then followed closely the footsteps of the old butler. This time, City Lord Xiao was still working in the study.

"City Master Xiao, long time no see." Dugu greeted City Master Xiao with a silent smile.

"It's you two, let me just say, that piece of land is not good, do you want to return the land? I haven't touched your money, give me the land deed, and I will return the money to you right away." Searching for the money bag on the bookshelf, without waiting for Dugumo to speak, he stood up in a hurry, took out a bag of gold soul coins from a hidden compartment of the bookshelf, and pushed it in front of Dugumo.

"No, Lord City Lord, we are here to buy shops this time, because I have a lot of shops to buy this time, so I came to the City Lord's Mansion first to discuss with you first." Dugu Mo said with a smile.

"Buy a store? Why buy a store? Notting City is not very suitable for business. There are neither caravans nor rich people here, so there is no business to do." City Lord Xiao asked suspiciously. He really couldn't think of it. What is going on in Dugumo's mind, such a dilapidated place even came to buy land, and even bought shops after buying the land, is this the legendary people who have a lot of money?
City Lord Xiao stood up, and stared at Dugumo with the eyes of a fool, until Dugumo felt a chill down his back.

"Master Xiao, what do you mean by that?" Dugu Mo tilted his head and asked in surprise.

"Oh, well, it's nothing, it's nothing, and it's fortunate that you came here, otherwise, you would have missed a lot of good shops. Only half of the shops in Notting City have not been sold, and the contracts for the shops are still there. Here, if you want to buy it, I’ll go and find it for you.” City Lord Xiao showed a smile, he’s a fool with a lot of money, if this person doesn’t fool around, who’s fooling around, he quickly got up and went out of the study to find a contract.

"Brother Qin Ming, why do I feel that the city lord looks at me like a fool." Dugumo saw that the city lord Xiao had gone away, turned his head to look at Qin Ming and said.

"If I didn't know your ability, I would also think you are a fool." Qin Ming said unceremoniously.

"If you're stupid, be stupid. It's true to buy a shop." Dugumo shook his head with a wry smile, and closed his eyes to rest for a while while City Lord Xiao was leaving.

Not long after, City Master Xiao returned to the study with a stack of papers, and directly patted these contracts in front of Dugumo.

"There are a total of 320 shops in Notting City, 220 of which were sold, and the contracts for the remaining 50 shops are all here, not much, [-] gold soul coins, regardless of location, Dugu Small Brother, what do you think?" City Lord Xiao directly took out a pen and waited aside, as long as Dugu Mo gave an order, he immediately began to sign and draw.

"That is to say, a total of eleven thousand and fifty gold soul coins will be required." After all, Dugu Mo learned to count quickly, and when he rolled his eyes, the counting was over.

"How about this, City Lord Xiao, the gold coin transaction volume this time is indeed not small, so how about a small change." Dugumo said with a smile.

"One thousand and fifty gold soul coins!" City Lord Xiao hesitated, this is not a small amount of money, more than 1000 gold soul coins, he can't earn it in a year.

After hesitating for a while, City Master Xiao gritted his teeth: "Deal!"

"Brother Qin Ming, give me the money and sign the contract." Dugu Mo looked back at Qin Ming with a smile.

Qin Ming took out a large pocket from the soul tool, which contained [-] gold soul coins.

When City Lord Xiao saw the gold soul coins in the bag, he immediately regained his energy, quickly took the money bag from Qin Ming's hand, and started counting.

A stack of one hundred golden soul coins, a total of one hundred stacks, City Master Xiao stared at the glittering golden soul coins on his desk, and was stunned. This was a particularly wonderful experience.

"My lord, can I sign the contract?" Dugu Mo looked at City Lord Xiao who had already fallen into the golden soul coin, and couldn't help interrupting his wild thoughts.

"Yes, yes, I'll sign it!" City Lord Xiao came back to his senses, quickly picked up a pen and began to sign contracts one by one, and stamped the seal of the City Lord's Mansion on these contracts.

City Lord Xiao's speed of signing the contract has reached a certain level, the pen is like a snake, and the contracts are signed and stamped one after another.

It took only 10 minutes for more than 200 contracts to be signed, and all of them were stamped with the great seal of the Lord's Mansion of Notting City.

"Okay, City Lord Xiao, since these contracts have been completed, I will go back first, and I will come to accept the shop in a few days." Dugu silently cupped his fists and thanked City Lord Xiao, then put away the contract and left the City Lord's Mansion with Qin Ming .

Not far away from the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Ming suddenly asked: "Xiao Mo, we don't have anyone, are there so many shops empty?"

"It's okay. My parents will come in two days. At that time, we will use their people. Although our Dugu family is not big, we have a lot of money. After all, it depends on my grandfather." Dugumo took it for granted look.

"That's right." Qin Ming nodded in agreement.
