Chapter 4 Buy Buy Buy

Huxi Township

it's clear
The residents of the town cleaned the snow in front of their doors.

There are quite a few residents in the town, but the streets are deserted, only a few shops are open, and the business is very cold. Occasionally, three or two people go in to have a look, but they don't buy.

Standing in front of an inn was a young man wearing a brand new blue cotton robe, a jade crown, and a pair of black riding boots.

It was Su Ping'an who came to the town. When he came, he first bought a brand new and expensive outfit in a clothing store, which cost him a full 20 taels of silver.

"The guest officer lives in the hotel."

A shopkeeper with a big head and a thick neck came out of the inn and said with a smile.

"How much is your inn worth?" Su Ping'an took out a 500 taels silver note from his pocket and asked.

The banknotes were extraordinarily dazzling in the sun, the shopkeeper rubbed his swollen goldfish eyes, and stared at the banknotes carefully.

Looking up at Su Ping'an again, he thought to himself: "Could it be that the person in front of you is a noble son from a noble family?"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his fat face.

"Guest officer, I have something to say, this is not a place to talk. Second son, serve tea!"

The shopkeeper welcomed Su Pingan into the inn with a pleasant smile.

On the door plaque of the inn, there are four big vermilion characters of Yunxuan Inn written in Xiaozhuan.

This inn is spacious and bright, and the decoration is fairly chic, but it is a bit old.

The inn is divided into two floors, with 6 guest rooms on the first and second floors.

There are two staircases leading to the second floor, which are made of mahogany and spiral.

Due to the poor business recently, the inn dismissed a cleaner and two kitchen helpers two days ago, and there were not even half of the guests in the inn.On the mahogany handrail of the stairs, a layer of floating dust can be seen with the naked eye.

The hall on the first floor is open and bright, with the counter on the right and eight white jade tables on the left. There are six chairs beside each stone table. The chairs seem to be quite old.

The shopkeeper invited Su Pingan into the table and chairs on the left side of the inn lobby, and the two sat on both sides.

Xiao Er served two cups of tea.

With a perplexed look on his face, the shopkeeper took the abacus at the side, fiddled with it for a while, then raised his eyes and said, "Guest officer, 500 taels of silver is not enough, my shop is a century-old shop, at least 960 taels is required. "

"Let's take a look at how the guest rooms in the inn are decorated." Su Ping stood up and looked at the guest rooms on the first floor, followed by the shopkeeper.

The rooms are well decorated, but a little dated.

The rooms are all made of mahogany furniture and beds, and the floors are all mahogany floors, as well as gorgeous decorations and animal skin carpets.

He went to the second floor to check it out. The decoration on the second floor was even more gorgeous and chic, but the air was a little turbid.

He finally went downstairs, took another look at the inn, set his eyes on the shopkeeper's face, and said calmly, "960 taels is 960 taels."

"...But I still have one condition." The shopkeeper scratched his head with a look of hesitation on his face.

Su Pingan picked up the tea, took a sip, and said slowly, "What conditions?"

The shopkeeper showed a hint of hesitation, "To be honest, I actually wanted to sell this inn some time ago, but I can't sit still, and I'm worried that I will have nothing to do after selling the inn..."

Su Pingan nodded with a smile and said: "So that's it, this matter is easy to handle, I can hire him as the store manager."

"What? The store manager?" The shopkeeper's eyes widened and a question mark appeared on his forehead. He felt that what the boy in front of him said was strange and unheard of.

Su Pingan said: "...Well, it can be regarded as the shopkeeper. Now I am your boss, and you are working for me."

The shopkeeper lowered his head and thought for a moment, "...Okay, boss, little Zhao Buzhu understands."

Then, Su Ping'an discussed matters related to the inn with the shopkeeper Zhao Buzhu.

Then, Zhao Buzhu went back to his home not far from here, brought two pieces of slightly yellowed paper, and handed over the title deed and house deed of the inn to Su Ping'an.

Then, he signed the inn sales contract in black and white.

Su Ping'an handed over 900 taels of silver notes plus 60 taels of cash to Zhao Buzhu.

By asking Zhao Buzhu, Su Ping'an learned that the business of the inn was not bad in the past.

But some time ago, a group of strong men came from Feiyun Mountain near the town, and they often robbed the passing merchants, so many merchants would rather take a long way than leave the town here, and the business suddenly became cold.

If we can get rid of this group of strong men, the business will definitely improve a lot.

It's just that this group of strong men is really difficult to deal with, even if the government has few people, there is nothing they can do about this group of strong men.

There is another rebellion in the south, and the imperial court is too busy to take care of themselves, and has no time to suppress this group of strong men.

It seems that in order to improve the business of the inn, we must get rid of this group of strong men.

After finishing everything, more than half an hour has passed.

[Ding, your VIP has unlocked the upgrade level. 】

Su Ping'an felt a little hungry, "Let the cook bring you two special dishes, and I'll see how the cook is."

"Yes, my master, I'll give you my orders now." Zhao Buzhu turned around and said to the waiter at the door of the inn: "Go, tell Wang Daniu, here are two special dishes, and the meat should be fresh, not overnight." of."

"Okay." Xiao Er replied, and ran to the back kitchen.

Shaoqing
The back kitchen prepared two special hot dishes and hot rice and brought them to the table.

A plate of hot, fragrant chicken.

A bowl of lotus longevity porridge with a faint lotus fragrance.

Holding the chopsticks, eat a bite of chicken, soft and delicious, full of fragrance.

He then took a sip of lotus longevity porridge with a spoon. It was silky and sweet in the mouth. He tasted it in his mouth and swallowed it slowly into his stomach.

After eating and drinking well, Su Ping'an asked the back chef to make a roast goose and ordered it to be wrapped in lotus leaves.

He explained a few more words to the shopkeeper Zhao Buzhu, and walked out of the inn with the roast goose wrapped in lotus leaves.

He put the roast goose in his arms, and then the roast goose was transferred to the portable warehouse.

After looking at the gradually increasing number of pedestrians in the market, he walked towards Yijiabu diagonally opposite.

At this time, a silver-haired old man came from the opposite street.

He is dressed in a gossip Taoist robe, a lotus crown on his head, cloud-toed boots on his feet, and a whisk in his hand.

He cupped his hands to Su Ping'an and said, "This good man, I am afraid that your seal will be blackened today, and you may be bloody today."

Su Pingan glanced at the silver-haired old man, and saw that the old man had a childlike face with white hair, and he looked like a fairy.

He touched his forehead and smiled sassyly, "Master Daoist, you can't calculate correctly, it's the right thing to save the day!"

"...Oh? How do you say that?"

A trace of hesitation flashed in the old Taoist's eyes, he pinched his fingers with one hand and said, "Could it be that you have avoided this calamity? ... and you have gained something else, so strange...!"

Su Pingan smiled indifferently, ignoring the silver-haired old man, this kind of charlatan, he had seen a lot on TV.

Came to a cloth shop diagonally opposite.

Inside the cloth line is a young girl with deep and gentle eyes like the moon in a well.

Wearing a snow-white tight-fitting mink fur jacket, she fully displayed her graceful figure, as beautiful as a fairy descending from the world.

"Where's the shopkeeper?" Su Pingan glanced at the girl and asked.

The girl smiled sweetly, and said softly: "I am a concubine, may I ask the guest officer whether to buy fabrics or ready-made clothes."

"Oh." Su Ping'an nodded. He didn't expect that the girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was the shopkeeper. "Do you have any clothes for me?"

The girl walked out of the counter, looked Su Pingan up and down, turned around again, took a brand new white wolf fur coat from the counter, and compared it to Su Pingan's body, "Guest officer, try our new product." This is a top-grade wolf fur jacket made with the fur of a high-quality white wolf and the ingenuity of our tailor Zhang."
