Chapter 185 Site Selection
Cheng Weining saw that he was talking to a deaf person and wanted to force his way out unwillingly.
As soon as the door was opened, Cheng Li slapped him mercilessly. Although the force was not strong, Cheng Weining's face turned red visibly, and the fingerprints on her fair skin were particularly eye-catching.
"Father, you hit me!"
Cheng Li was somewhat moved by Cheng Weining's tears, but reason overcame emotion, and he put on a stern face and began to scold.
"Listen to what you just said. You were so stupid. You talked back to your elders and tried to run away from home. It's a good thing we found out today. If your grandfather knew, you would be in big trouble!"
This wasn't an exaggeration. The Duke's Mansion had its own rules, and even though they had never been applied to women, men like Cheng Li and Cheng Ying had experienced them firsthand. The pain of having their skin torn and flesh ripped apart by the whip was unbearable.
Cheng Weining's tears stopped immediately. Things had completely deviated from their original direction. Alerting her parents was a small matter, and she could get away with it by acting cute. But her grandfather was not so easy to fool, and he must not be alarmed!
As soon as her thoughts became clear, she immediately lifted her skirt, turned around and knelt in front of Li: "It is my unfilial daughter who has chilled my mother and father. I was also bewildered for a moment. I will never do it again!"
Mrs. Li didn't reach out to help Cheng Weining. She had raised her daughter personally, and she was always good at judging the situation. She was trying to determine whether Cheng Weining was just making a temporary solution or if she truly acknowledged her mistake.
"Master and Madam, don't worry. I will keep a close eye on the young lady and will never let her do anything stupid!" At the critical moment, Xiao Tao fluttered and knelt beside Cheng Weining.
This was a meritorious official, and also a pair of surveillance eyes. Li's inner uneasiness subsided a little. Her face was gentle, but not a single word she said was what Cheng Weining liked to hear.
"It's a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them, but the confinement order remains in effect. You just fell into the water, so you should rest in your room for the time being..."
How could a thin arm twist a thigh? Cheng Weining nodded reluctantly. However, after dismissing everyone, his hatred for Cheng Weiyao intensified.
Cheng Weiyao, who was far away in Qingshi Town, had no idea that the Duke's Mansion in the capital was so bustling. She was busy looking at houses in the city at the moment.
At present, each of the stalls at home is generating positive income, and we can now consider opening a restaurant. After all, many of these businesses require sitting down to enjoy the food, and a comfortable environment will make the diners' experience better.
Although tables, chairs, and benches are convenient, for some scholars and literati, it is still a bit embarrassing to let them lift their clothes to eat on the roadside. If they take over the restaurant, the audience of diners should be wider.
With the experience of renting a house last time, Cheng Wei Yao went straight to the brokerage office.
The broker was still standing by the street soliciting customers. When he saw Cheng Weiyao, his eyes lit up and he approached her. Before he met Cheng Weiyao, he had repeatedly rejected the house she had lived in. People were unwilling to accept him because it was too small and remote.
I met him again this time, and he was the God of Wealth sent to me by God!
"Madam, what kind of house are you looking for this time? We're new to this, but we're familiar with each other. If you find one you like, I'll give you a 20% discount."
The abacus beads the brothel used almost hit Cheng Weiyao's face, but the brothel owner was indeed quite capable, so Cheng Weiyao nodded calmly.
Anyway, if you go to a dentist to register, you will need to pay extra service fees. It is better to try it here first. If there is no suitable one, you can go back to another dentist.
When the broker heard that Cheng Wei Yao was planning to use it for business, he immediately became excited. He took out a small notebook and started flipping through the pages, while introducing it.
"Look at this shop. It faces south and is very spacious and bright..."
He had a record of almost every shop in Qingshi Town, but Cheng Weiyao was a little dissatisfied. Her stall was on West Street in the city, and most of her regular customers lived nearby.
West Street is also the busiest street in Qingshi Town. Whether it's daytime or nighttime, the flow of people is guaranteed. If you want to open a restaurant, you must have customer traffic.
"Is there any area near West Street? I don't like other places."
Cheng Weiyao interrupted the broker's witty remarks and directly put forward her own demands.
"West Street, there is one. They opened one here a long time ago. Do you want to go check it out together?"
The broker was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Cheng Weiyao to come to such a popular and sought-after location. He grinned, it seemed that a big job was about to happen.
The broker led Cheng Wei Yao straight to West Street. Coincidentally, the restaurant was located at the end of the street, near another city gate.
The location is good, but as soon as the door was opened, the overwhelming dust dancing in the light almost discouraged Cheng Weiyao from leaving.
It has been a long time since the room was cleaned. Cobwebs are floating in the corners of the walls. The few remaining tables, chairs and benches are covered with dust and wood chips. There are also some cracks on the walls.
"Ahem... Don't be fooled by this restaurant's current shabby state; it was once prosperous. It's just that the original owner was away on business all year round, and no one cared about it, so it fell into disrepair. We can find a new owner to take care of it. The fair price is twelve thousand yuan, and I'll transfer the ownership immediately at the government office."
The house looked so run-down that the agent himself was a bit embarrassed. Most people wouldn't even look at a house at that price, so he hadn't been in for a long time, otherwise he'd have to clean it up.
"Twelve thousand is a bit expensive, right? Renovating it will cost a lot of money. Ten thousand is about right..."
Cheng Weiyao covered her nose and started bargaining directly.
The location of West Street is undoubtedly good. As the saying goes, every inch of land is valuable. It can be seen that the original owner is anxious to sell and the price he offered is reasonable.
If you can spend less money, you say you are willing to pay more, so just come and give it a try.
"The price is negotiable. I'll ask about it when the time comes. Do you want to place your order first if you're satisfied?" the broker asked tentatively.
"This is a serious matter. I need to discuss it with my family. I have a general understanding of the house's situation. That's all for today. Thank you for your hard work."
Cheng Wei Yao looked around and walked around the restaurant, and she had a rough idea in her mind.
The lighting and overall structure of the restaurant were good, and the kitchen and backyard were spacious. If the decoration was even slightly better, she would definitely not hesitate.
Of course, the most important thing is that I am short of money and I really don’t have that much cash. Today I will just look at the address and prepare it first.
The broker sighed, looking a little regretful, but there was still a long time to come, and as long as Cheng Weiyao wanted to buy a house, she would definitely come to him again!
