Ah, he remembered, this was the shop opened by the Corning County Lady Xue Huan!
It turns out she is Xue Huan!
Shen Huiqing stared blankly at the person in front of her, completely confused.
She is actually Xue Huan!
It turns out that the person his family wanted him to marry was the little fairy he fell in love with at first sight!
Shen Huiqing couldn't help but get excited, and immediately thought of what the matchmaker said, that Xue Huan was indifferent to this marriage and was not interested. Although she didn't refuse it in person, it was probably out of politeness.
It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over my head, and I felt extremely depressed.
When the beef noodles were served, although they smelled good and looked tempting, he found them tasteless.
This was in stark contrast to the guests at other tables who were busy eating.
This was the first time Xue Huan had seen someone having such a hard time eating noodles in her noodle shop. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Are the noodles not tasty?"
Shen Huiqing quickly shook her head: "No, no, the noodles are delicious, I was just thinking about something and got distracted."
In order to prove the credibility of his words, he picked up the bowl with one hand, rolled up the noodles with chopsticks and ate them in big mouthfuls.
He really looks like he's eating like a wolf.
Xue Huan was afraid that he would choke, "Slow down, why are you eating so fast?"
When Shen Huiqing heard her seemingly caring words, her ears turned red. She obediently slowed down her eating and couldn't help glancing at her while eating.
The little fairy is so pretty. Even standing in this bustling noodle shop, she is still so dazzling, fresh and bright. As he looked at her, a silly smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Shen Huiqing spent a long time eating a bowl of noodles and ordered many side dishes to kill time. She just wanted to stay in the same space with Xue Huan for a while longer.
No matter how slowly you eat, it will eventually finish.
When the noodle shop closed, he had to get up, pay the bill and leave.
Xue Huan was helping with the billing behind the counter and casually said, "Welcome to visit us next time."
Shen Huiqing said happily: "Oh! Okay, I will definitely come more often!"
The next day, he got up early, which was rare for him, but he did not have breakfast at home. Instead, he took a carriage to Xue's Noodle House. Unfortunately, Xue Huan did not come today.
Nowadays, she is no longer responsible for the specific affairs of the noodle shop, but has moved behind the scenes, only checking in every few days.
She is currently working on opening another branch.
We are currently looking for a location.
Shen Huiqing naturally couldn't meet her.
Not only did I not meet her that day, but I also didn't see the beautiful figure I thought about day and night for several days afterwards.
Every time I come here excitedly, but leave with disappointment.
He was tired of eating noodles every day, but when he thought that these were noodles from the fairy’s noodle shop, he still ate them bravely.
He went out early and came back late every day. Mr. Shen thought his son was out fooling around, so he called his attendant to ask him about it. Only then did he find out that his son went to the noodle shop of County Master Kangning every day hoping to meet someone.
He couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Hahaha, this kid finally did something serious."
Mr. Shen called Shen Huiqing over, praised him, and gave him a box of banknotes. "Take this money. It's your father's support for you. Feel free to spend it."
Shen Huiqing wasn't particularly happy, after all, he usually had enough money to spend, but he still accepted it. Who would complain about having too much money?
But no matter how much money I have, it’s useless. I will never meet Xue Huan.
I can't even spend money on her.
However, just when he was frowning, he suddenly got the news that Xue Huan wanted to buy a shop, and it would be above their Shen family!
"Third brother, I'll leave this matter to you."
"good!"
Shen Huiqing was born in the Shen family. Although she has not yet officially been involved in the family business, she has been influenced by it and is very familiar with business transactions.
He also has the shrewdness of a businessman in his bones.
If the shop that Xue Huan liked was given to her directly, she would definitely refuse to accept it, so she could only sell it or rent it to her.
If he sold it to her, it would just be a one-time deal, with no way to develop any follow-up. But if he rented it to her, it would be different. The shop would still belong to the Shen family, and he would have the opportunity to visit it from time to time.
Shen Huiqing was calculating in her mind, but Xue Huan didn't buy it.
She plans to buy a shop as the headquarters of Xue Ji Noodle House and make it a brand. In the future, whenever people mention eating noodles, the first thing they think of is Xue Ji Noodle House. This is her ideal and pursuit.
So, how can a store serving as the headquarters be rented?
"Since the Shen family is unwilling to sell this shop, I'll look for something else."
Xue Huan turned around and was about to leave.
Shen Huiqing happened to hear this when she came over. How could he let her leave like this? All the plans he had originally thought of were thrown out of his mind at this moment. He only wanted to keep her.
"Miss Xue, don't go. I'll sell the shop to you."
Xue Huan glanced at him in surprise: "Who are you?"
Shen Huiqing: "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My last name is Shen Huiqing, and I am the third child in the Shen family."
After saying that, he glanced at her shyly.
Xue Huan suddenly realized that he was the Third Young Master Shen!
Shen Huiqing: "This shop is under my name. I didn't intend to sell it originally, so the shopkeeper refused you. But since you want it, what else can I say? Go get the deed."
The latter sentence was directed at the shopkeeper.
After the deed was brought over, Shen Huiqing said, "Just sign and seal it."
Xue Huan took the deed and took a look. The price was only one hundred taels. What difference did it make if it was given away for free? On Changping Street, a spacious two-story shop with a backyard like this could easily be sold for two thousand taels.
“This price…”
Shen Huiqing said, "Miss Xue, you are my savior, so I should give you this shop. However, I am afraid you will not accept it, so I will accept the 100 taels from you. I hope you will not refuse."
Xue Huan shook her head. "Let's be honest. Business is business. If you only want a hundred taels, then I won't buy this shop."
Shen Huiqing sighed, "Okay then, let's talk about it based on the market price."
The market price was two thousand two hundred taels, and Xue Huan really couldn't come up with so much money at once. Although the emperor had rewarded her with many things before, most of them were fields, silk, etc., and the cash she had was the one hundred taels of gold.
It was impossible for her to exchange the imperial gift for money, so the only thing she could use was the one hundred taels of gold.
According to the current exchange rate between gold and silver, one hundred taels of gold can be exchanged for about one thousand taels of silver, which is more than half of the amount needed to buy a shop.
Although the noodle shop has been doing good business recently, it only makes about twenty taels of silver a month. Compared with other noodle shops, it is already a lot of money, enough for an ordinary family to live a rich and decent life.
But it is far from enough to buy a shop.
Only now did Xue Huan realize that he was still a poor guy.
Her so-called wealth before was only relative to ordinary people. In front of real rich people, how could her money be enough to show off?
