Chapter 111 Many people setting up stalls

"While it's still early, why don't you, Mr. Xia, come to my place for dinner? You've come all the way here, so let me show my hospitality as a good host." Chu Wanfu also laughed, pretending not to understand.

"Hey, the new store is opening, and there are so many things to do. I'm really busy. How about this, I'll invite General Chu when the time comes!"

When the time comes, there will be no time, it’s all just talk.

The captain of the guard team finally realized that the two men did know each other, but their relationship was not that good.

Finally, Chu Wanfu left on the pretext that he had something important to do.

Even the captain of the guard left with him.

"You actually know General Chu?"

Fu Niang hadn't dared to speak just now. She moved back to the store quietly and squatted behind the broad-leaved lotus, pretending to catch insects. She heard every word of the conversation between the two.

"We can barely be considered partners." Xia Yan said lightly.

Bok Niang looked at her with admiration.

"I'm going to the central hall to apply for a business license. Can you accompany me if you have time?" Xia Yan only walked around the street of shops. As for where the central hall was, she really couldn't find it. Besides, the captain of the guard team had left, so she was in urgent need of a guide.

"Okay, wait a moment while I move the flowers back." Fu Niang hurriedly began to move the flowers.

Xia Yan asked Mengmeng to come over to help, and he took out a parasol to cover his head.

The temperature here is much lower than that in Shiji City, which may be related to the high terrain.

"Boss Xia, we can go now." Fu Niang was afraid that she would have to wait too long, so she finished the task as quickly as possible, and someone else helped.

Xia Yan handed her an umbrella, but she shook her head with red cheeks.

"I don't need it. I'm used to it." Fu Niang looked at her rough, dark hands, then looked at Boss Xia's fair and tender hands, and waved with a smile.

Xia Yan didn't force it, put away his umbrella, and motioned for her to lead the way.

There is a square not far from her shop, and at this moment countless people are setting up stalls and selling things in the middle.

Fu Niang originally wanted to take her to see it, but was stopped.

"Go get your business license first, and come back later."

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It's best not to give others something to talk about, and avoid unnecessary trouble as much as possible. This is also one of Xia Yan's life creeds.

Fu Niang nodded, and took her around the crowd, gradually moving away from the square.

Behind the residential building, a church-like building with two white stone pillars in front of the door appeared in front of us.

Xia Yan didn't expect that there was an office inside, which included information registration and business license registration. There was also a particularly large billboard in the hall with different homemade advertisements on it.

Chu Wanfu must have informed them in advance, so Xia Yan only had to tell them the name of the resort hotel, and the staff there quickly processed it and their attitude was very nice.

This attracted the attention of other people in the hall who came to do business.

"Have you decided on a name for the store?"

“The first branch of the resort hotel.”

"Are you the operator? What's your name?"

"Xia Yan."

After filling in the required information, the hot business license will be issued in one minute.

"Please keep it. If you have any questions in the future, you can consult us." The staff member smiled and put the business license into a cowhide bag and handed it over.

"Thank you. You're welcome to come and have dinner when we open."

Here, eating is definitely more attractive than accommodation, so eating has become her slogan, and it seems to be working well so far.

"Of course! Of course!"

Xia Yan nodded and prepared to go to another place to pay the rent, "Fu Niang, how much do I have to pay?"

Fu Niang thought for a moment and said, "My shop sells one first-level crystal core every month. Since you own four shops, you should need four."

After asking the staff who handled the leasing, it turned out that her store needed four first-level crystal cores every month.

"I don't have a crystal core. Can I exchange it for something else?"

"No crystal core? No way, everyone has a first-level crystal core. Why don't you go outside and see if anyone is willing to exchange with you? I can't exchange here." The staff member was also puzzled. It was the first time they saw someone who didn't have a crystal core. What could he use to exchange?

"You don't have any crystal cores? How about I lend them to you first?" Fu Niang pulled her fingers and took out four crystal cores from her pocket.

Xia Yan looked down, smiled and shook his head, "No, you keep it first, I'll go ask others if they want to exchange it."

She asked Fu Niang to follow her and returned to the center of the square, which was filled with small stalls selling all kinds of things.

There are people selling hard mutant rhino horns, homemade full-body suits that are said to be waterproof and fireproof, ice-making on site, various weapons, perfectly round zombie heads, bone chairs tied to the legs so you can sit on them at any time, moonlight lamps that are said to be bright all night, and even half-eaten steamed buns.

The largest number of people gathered in front of food and drink shops, trying to negotiate with the stall owners whether their items could be exchanged.

The place was bustling with people.

Xia Yan had never seen this kind of scene before, and it was very fresh for a moment.

Her very eye-catching outfit also became the focus of everyone's attention.

"How do you change this?"

Xia Yan squatted down and picked up the full-body suit that the stall owner placed in the middle. It was cold and silky to the touch, but he didn't know if it was waterproof and fireproof as he said.

Seeing a customer coming, and one who looked quite wealthy, the stall owner quickly stood up and casually praised, "You have a really good eye! You know how to identify treasures! This is the best thing I have here, absolutely waterproof and fireproof! It's worth buying!"

He paused, and seeing that she had no intention of joining in the conversation, and her eyes did not reveal the excitement he had imagined, he rolled his eyes and changed the subject: "Anything is fine, preferably food or drink!"

"Can I have a box lunch?" Xia Yan took the box lunch handed to him by Meng Meng, opened it, and found a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice inside.

The stall owner was dumbfounded, "Change, change!"

I was so lucky today! I actually ran into a generous customer! It was a box full of fried rice! The translucent rice was coated in yellow egg yolks, with corn kernels and ham in the middle!

The stall owner took it with trembling hands, put it to his nose and took a deep breath, "Oh shit, it's really rice!"

He looked around cautiously, stuffed the lunch box into his arms, closed the stall, and brushed his face with his hand. His features became blurred, and soon even his figure began to blur.

He swayed left and right and ran away.

Although the base has a rule that prohibits stealing food, it is always better to be cautious.

This girl, still young, took out a box of lunch in public? Don't show off your wealth, understand?

The onlookers were also stunned by her move. Their eyes were full of eagerness. They stretched out the best things on their stalls to her and gathered around her.

"Look at mine! Top-grade Garou bones!"

"I have ice! Do you want to exchange it?"

"I can change the water with you!"

"Boss, bone chair! Do you want a bone chair?"

"Boss, look here, I have a gun!"

"How about a prosthetic eye? A zombie head? A baby specimen? It can help you escape from the zombies!"
