My second brother to my eighth brother were taking the exam in the county, so my father and eldest brother had to go to the provincial capital. It would take six days to drive a horse carriage from Nanshan County to Jiangnan Prefecture.
This time, Fengjiu planned to go with her uncle to see her father and elder brother off, and they would set out from the village to the county town early in the morning.
The four of them walked slowly along the official road leading to the provincial capital. When it was completely dark, they found an open place, put the carriage into the space, and released a helicopter.
This was the first time Feng Jiu had released a helicopter out of space since coming to this world. It was also the first time for Feng Laosi, his uncle and nephew, to fly a helicopter outside of space.
The uncle and nephew were vying to open the car. Feng Jiu was speechless and interrupted their argument: "Can't one of you drive over and the other drive back?"
The three of them said in unison: "No, I'll drive it for the first time."
Phoenix Liquor: ???
"Then you play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins gets to open it."
The three of them looked at each other and started competing. In the end, Feng Lao Si won. Feng Jiu saw that her father's mouth was almost grinning behind his ears. It was really unbearable to watch.
He was still looking very proud, and my uncle and his son were also looking very upset. How could they lose?
Feng Laosi had previously spent a high price to buy a map of the Nanli Kingdom, waiting to use it someday when he went on a long journey. Now it comes in handy.
It only takes two hours to reach the provincial capital by helicopter, mainly because the official road is built around the edge of the mountain, which takes too much of a detour.
They arrived at the provincial capital just after midnight. They found a place close to the city and landed. The helicopter was noisy, so they didn't dare to go too close to the city.
After collecting the helicopter, they took a horse-drawn carriage and found an inn in half an hour.
Feng Jiu had fallen asleep a long time ago. Feng Laosi carried her out of the carriage. Feng Laoda shouted to open the door of the inn, and several people booked three upper rooms.
The waiter helped drive the carriage to the backyard. Feng Lao Da and his son each had a room, while Feng Lao Si and his daughter had another.
The waiter brought some water, and after they washed up, they went to sleep.
Fengjiu was awakened by the shouting outside. She saw that it was an unfamiliar place, probably an inn. She was the only one in the room, so her father must have gone out.
He got up, put on his clothes in a hurry, dragged a chair and climbed up to the window of the inn.
I saw the vendors below shouting, "Shaobing, big fragrant shaobing, two cents each."
"Dumplings, thin-skinned and generously stuffed, two for five cents."
There are all kinds of things for sale, it’s very lively.
Fengjiu was watching the excitement when the door opened. His uncle, his son and his father each came in with a bag in their hands.
Feng Jiu climbed down from the stool and was picked up by the older brother. Feng Laosi opened the oil paper bag in his hand, which contained a few steaming buns.
The uncle was holding a few fried dough sticks and a bag of golden fried rice cakes.
After a while, the waiter came into the room with a casserole and bowls and chopsticks, and they all had a delicious meal.
The eldest brother went back to his room to review his lessons, and the four Feng brothers took Fengjiu and went out shopping.
Fengjiu lay on her uncle's shoulder, looking around, and bought anything her uncle liked for her.
Before they had finished strolling down one street, Feng Laosi's hands were almost full. They strolled until noon and then found a restaurant to eat.
The three of them ordered six dishes and a soup. Feng Jiu took one bite and stopped eating. The food was so different from the food at home. Feng Lao Si also felt that the food here was too bad.
After eating a few bites, they paid the bill and left. Feng Lao Si discussed with his eldest brother: "Brother, should we buy a shop in the capital and open a restaurant?"
Boss Feng thought for a moment and said, "We don't have any roots in the capital city. If we rashly open a restaurant, we're afraid we'll be targeted. It's not like in the county town. We should think about it first."
Fengjiu found that the conversation between her father and uncle made sense to her. It seemed that she had to find a wealthy family member to rely on, otherwise the family business would not be able to develop.
"Brother, I think we can take a look at the shop first. When we go back this time, we will report the high grain yield. The emperor should also reward us. Then we can open it."
Boss Feng also nodded, and the few of them found the nearest dental clinic.
As soon as I entered the shop, a man in his thirties asked with a smile on his face, "Are you two looking to buy a servant or a house? I have both. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Boss Feng nodded and said, "Do you have a shop suitable for opening a restaurant? If so, take us to have a look."
The man from the pawnbroker introduced himself: "My surname is Li, and my given name is Le. You two can just call me Li the pawnbroker."
"No matter how big a shop you want, I have it here. The prices are absolutely fair. My family has been in this business for generations. You can ask around. Everyone in Jiangnan Prefecture knows that I, the Li Ya people, are the most fair in business."
Feng Jiu stared at Li Le for a long time: "If this guy were in modern times, he would definitely be a good salesperson!"
Boss Feng: "Take us to see the bigger shop first."
Li Yaren smiled and said, "Alright, gentlemen, follow me. There's a carriage in the backyard. We'll be there in a short drive."
A few people went to the backyard and got on the carriage, and Li Yaren followed in.
Looking at the Fengjiu in Feng Lao Si's hand, he praised: "This young lady is your daughter, right? I have lived for more than 30 years.
I've never seen a daughter as beautiful as yours in anyone else's home. You are truly blessed."
Fengjiu: "This flattery skill is even better!"
Feng Lao Si smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, brother. She is my daughter and looks like her mother. She is just a little naughty."
Liya people: "Oh, you are so lucky, your daughter is so beautiful, your wife must be stunningly beautiful too."
Feng Lao Si said with a proud look on his face: "My wife is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."
Fengjiu: "Why were you praising her? Now you're praising her mother. Her father is really a love-brained man. He never forgets to praise his wife wherever he goes."
It took a quarter of an hour to reach the place Li Ya Ren mentioned. It was a four-story teahouse with chairs and benches that were almost new.
There is another one-story house in the back that looks like a kitchen and has a large garden at the back.
The area is very large, and Fengjiu liked it at first sight. The Feng brothers were also very satisfied.
Boss Feng: "The place is available, but what's the price?"
Li Yaren: "You two gentlemen don't know, this used to be a teahouse. The boss's son went to the capital, and the old couple wanted to follow him, so they had no choice but to sell the teahouse."
"You two gentlemen have seen that this is the busiest street in Jiangnan Prefecture. There are many people who want this shop, but the price is a bit high. Most people can't afford so much money at once, so they keep it."
Boss Feng: "How much silver does this cost?"
Li Yaren: "The boss said that the minimum he wants is 100,000 taels of silver."
The two brothers gasped when they heard the price, "One hundred thousand taels"
Fengjiu thinks it’s okay. In modern times, buying a house in the city will cost at least one million.
Feng Jiu leaned over to Feng Lao Si's ear and said, "This price is good. I want to buy it."
Feng Lao Si: "My daughter, Daddy doesn't have that much money right now. I only have about 20,000 taels. I'll buy it for you when Daddy earns enough money, okay?"
