Chapter 584: News Spreading Throughout the Streets and Alleys of the Capital



"Oh, you, it's only been two days and you're already aiming too high?

This shop has only seventy counters, which is enough for you and everyone else to keep busy. Now you want a bigger shop?

Do you want to tire yourself to death?"

Looking at Leng Furong, who had experienced the ups and downs of life in the past year and whose heart and eyes were now full of her career, Chaoge was happy but more relieved.

He touched her forehead lovingly and said jokingly.

Leng Furong didn't care much: "I can earn money, so why should I feel tired? If the store is bigger, you can hire 50 or 60 more people to help.

The employees are even more tired. I think you will have to implement the rewards for them when the time comes."

"Don't worry about that. My people never treat me unfairly."

These words were meant for Leng Furong to hear, but actually, they were mainly meant for Xu Qiao standing beside him to hear.

Yunchang went back earlier, bringing with him Black Panther and his wife and five grandchildren.

So after checking the accounts, Chaoge took the silver he collected today and returned to Yun Mansion alone.

Leng Furong and Aunt Li said they lived in the Yun Mansion, but they never expected that after the store opened, they would be so busy until curfew every day that they would have no time to go back.

The yard that was bought for Leng Furong and the others came in handy at this time.

The next day, Chaoge continued to bring the children to the store. As soon as Leng Furong, Aunt Li and Xu Qiao arrived, they dragged her into the accounting office.

"You are all so excited, what's the good news?"

"Good news! Big sister never thought that our dream would come true so soon!"

Looking at the excitement on the three people's faces, Chaoge was confused.

The fact that their store’s business is doing so well now is a complete surprise. She doesn’t know what else could make them so happy?

"Don't keep me in suspense. Just say it directly."

"The shop next door posted a notice for rent and sale early this morning. When Shopkeeper Xu opened the door this morning, he saw a lot of people gathered around the shop. He went up to take a look and thought that this was our chance to make a fortune.

Sister, go find the boss next door and buy the shop!

If you don't have enough money, ask them if you can pay it off at the end of the month?

Our shop now sells 3,000 taels a day, and can earn 90,000 taels by the end of the month."

"The shop next door is for sale?!"

After hearing what the three said, Chaoge still couldn't believe it.

She remembered that there was a restaurant next door with mid-range consumption. A meal there would cost a few to more than ten taels of silver.

Although the business is not as booming as it was in the first two days after the opening of their new store, there are still more than ten to twenty tables of customers every day. At the end of the day, the income is more than one hundred taels, and more than three thousand taels a month.

For a normal business, this is a good income.

Chaoge couldn't understand why such a good shop was suddenly sold without any news?

"It's true, many people came to negotiate the price, but it seems that the boss is busy and is not in the store today.

When Manager Xu went there in person, a waiter who had eaten the barbecue that Huang Liang gave him yesterday secretly told us that their boss would be back at around 10 p.m. tonight and would let us go over then.

As long as we seize the opportunity, we will definitely be able to get this store."

Listening to Leng Furong's words, Chaoge still found it a little unbelievable.

But if the store next door really wants to sell, then it would also be an opportunity.

Instead of opening stores everywhere, just treat this hot pot restaurant as the headquarters, make it bigger, have more staff, and make the same amount of money.

"Okay, Manager Xu, you keep an eye on it tonight, and I'll go over to talk to you then."

Before noon, something big happened in the capital again.

The news of the Xiling royal family's visit spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city.

Customers who came to the restaurant to dine were gossiping about the news so much that they were spitting all over the table!

Chaoge was looking after the children in the backyard. He activated his wood-based skills and headed towards the store, where he heard many customers talking about this matter.

Thinking about the scene when he went to Xiling Kingdom last month, Chaoge inexplicably felt that it was a coincidence that Xiling Kingdom was sending an envoy to Canglan Dynasty this time.

Usually, when an envoy comes, at most a prince or something would come.

This time, not only the crown prince of Xiling Kingdom came, but also a princess, queen and several ministers of Xiling Kingdom.

Chaoge thought about the confrontation between Jun Yumo and the queen at the imperial mausoleum, as well as the queen's familiar face, and always felt a little uneasy.

"Let's not talk about what will happen in a few days. There is an auction tonight at the auction house east of the Imperial City. Do you want to go?

It only happens once every three years, and I heard there are three sessions in total.

Today is the first match, the second will be the day after tomorrow, and the third will be on the day when the Xiling royal family arrives."

Suddenly, the conversation of another table of guests unexpectedly reached Chaoge's ears.

Chaoge suddenly became energetic!

There should be quite a few good things at this auction in the capital of Canglan Dynasty.

If she could buy a Tianshan Holy Lotus at the auction, then she wouldn't have to touch the one in her hand.

“I would like to go, but for an auction of that level, when will it be our turn as ordinary people?

I heard that the things tonight are all good stuff, starting at several thousand taels of silver. Let alone going there to see them, we can't even get an invitation to go in."

Do I need an invitation to enter the auction?

What this means is that even if you go in stealthily, you still need to register with your real name when you take pictures?

Thinking of this possibility, Chaoge suddenly felt discouraged.

Just when Chaoge was thinking about whether she should ask Xiao Zhehan for help, two familiar figures suddenly appeared at the door of the hot pot restaurant, which made her overjoyed.

"I'm sorry, but our restaurant is full. If you'd like, you can reserve a seat for tomorrow in advance, so you don't have to wait for a seat tomorrow.

If you two want to have a meal today, you will have to sit outside and drink some tea and wait for a while."

Looking at the two people with extraordinary temperament in front of him, Xu Qiao hurriedly explained politely.

Unexpectedly, after Xu Qiao finished speaking, the woman became dissatisfied.

"Do you know who I am?

You actually made me wait?

Even if there is no table left, you have to find one for me.”

Upon hearing what the woman said, Xu Qiao suddenly felt something was wrong!

It seems that he finally met this noble person from the capital.

"Excuse me, miss. I would like to find a table for you, but our hot pot has a specific tabletop where you can put down the stove.

If they just pick a table randomly, it will affect the comfort of the young lady and the young man's meal.

In fact, the barbecue in our restaurant is also a specialty. If the ladies and gentlemen are willing, they can drink tea and eat some barbecue while waiting outside.

When there are seats available later, I will definitely call you two."

"What? You want me to wait outside on the roadside?

Who are you looking down on?

People say your hot pot tastes great, and I came here in person today, and this is how you treat me?"
