"Since Sister Fang is so generous, I can't be stingy either. Let's sign the contract today," Xu Lin said.
So the group went directly to the housing rental window in the service hall to complete the transfer, with Sister Chen acting as a witness.
The procedures went smoothly. Xu Lin paid six months' rent, plus various certificate fees, spending a total of 1,000 points.
The group returned to the shop, took stock of the supplies, and ultimately decided to use 200 jin of grain as payment for the shop's building materials. After that, the shop and building materials all belonged to Xu Lin.
It was already 5 p.m. when everything was done. Xu Lin and Zhou Pin didn't have time to tidy up the shop and went straight to Zheng Ming's house.
"Wow, seafood! Did you bring it back from Jinshi?" Wang Jing was very happy.
"We can have an extra meal tonight! I'm already thinking about your next trip to Jinshi," Zheng Ming said exaggeratedly.
"Don't worry, we'll go often in the future. As long as you have points and supplies, you can eat seafood as much as you want," Xu Lin said.
"Are you moving to Jinshi?" Aunt Ning asked.
"No, we plan to open a seafood restaurant and bring seafood from Jinshi here to sell."
“This isn’t a deal you can just make on the spot. You’ll need a letter of introduction to go to Jinshi Wharf, right?” Old Zheng said from the side.
I never expected that Lao Zheng also knew about the intricacies of the matter.
"Is it that complicated? No wonder there are no seafood vendors even though the base is so close to Tianjin. It turns out it's a monopoly!" Wang Jing said.
“Your seafood business has encroached on other people’s interests; you’ll be retaliated against,” Zheng Ming said.
“It’s alright. The seafood sellers at the base will be brought down soon. Anyone can sell seafood from now on, as long as they have strong connections and can get a letter of introduction,” Zhou Pin said.
"So you're the one with the connections to get a letter of introduction?" Zheng Ming shouted.
"Shut up, you silly boy. No wonder Zhou Pin was able to get a letter of introduction. Even a rebirth like yours can't save you." Aunt Ning slapped Zheng Ming to tell him to keep his voice down.
"Mom, you even know about rebirth! Did you get reborn?" Zheng Ming seized on the key point.
"Rebirth my ass! Your wife is always telling me about rebirth novels. Hasn't she read any books or heard any stories about them?"
"Don't let her brainwash you with those nonsensical articles; they have absolutely no logic..."
"How am I illogical? Explain yourself!"
"The female protagonist is all alone, without parents or relatives. Upon being reborn, she obtains a spirit stone by chance, then cuts her hand to acquire a spatial cheat artifact, and from then on, she embarks on a journey of extraordinary success..."
Zheng Ming started battling Wang Jing again. The others didn't seem to care, but Xu Lin was rather embarrassed. She suspected that the female protagonist in the book Wang Jing was reading was named Xu Lin.
"It's good that you all know what you're doing. Have you found a storefront yet? Now is probably the cheapest time to buy." Old Zheng, as a businessman, is quite farsighted.
"I've checked, it's already rented." Xu Lin quickly brought her thoughts back.
The group chatted for a few more minutes, and Xu Lin told them about how Dr. Dai had found the child.
"It's good that it's been found, Amitabha." Aunt Ning put her hands together in prayer.
"What about that doctor's husband?" Wang Jing asked, being rather gossipy.
"We'll only know once the child wakes up; he was unconscious when he was rescued," Xu Lin said.
"Let's go see Dr. Dai tomorrow morning," Aunt Ning said to Old Zheng.
"We should go and take a look," Old Zheng said.
“Let’s go together!” Xu Lin said.
The group agreed to go to Dr. Dai's house together the next day. Xu Lin and Zhou Pin then said goodbye and said they would bring seafood to Dr. Dai's house the next day.
