Chaoge still didn't say anything, and Lanxiang went straight out of the main hall.
The next day, as Chaoge just arrived at the store, Xu Qiao greeted him with a happy look on his face.
"Master, I went to see the shopkeeper next door yesterday. He said he was willing to sell the shop to us. The main reason is that he wants to go back to his hometown. He has been running a shop in the capital for more than 20 years and has made enough money. As long as he sells the shop and returns to his hometown, he will live a comfortable life."
Hearing this, Chaoge was overjoyed!
"So what's his offer?"
"Fifty thousand taels of silver."
"Fifty thousand taels! How is that possible? Isn't that store about the same size as ours? How can it be so cheap?!"
After hearing this amount, Chaoge felt that things were not that simple at all.
"It's true. I asked around in the nearby shops and found it was too cheap. I couldn't believe it. Master, do you think this shop still dares to buy it?"
When Xu Qiao asked this, Chaoge didn't know how to answer.
After all, this market situation was indeed a great bargain. It was such a great thing that even she couldn't believe it.
After hesitating for a moment, Chaoge went straight to the next room.
Seeing that it was Chaoge coming, the shopkeeper next door welcomed her in with a smile.
"Boss, I heard that your shop only costs 50,000 taels?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Boss Yun, I am anxious to return to my hometown. My parents are already old. I have earned a lot of money over the years, and it is time for me to go back and take good care of them."
"Is there something fishy about your shop? Why is it only 50,000 taels? I bought the shop next door more than a month ago. You should know the price."
Seeing that Chaoge actually complained about the cheapness, the shopkeeper was really upset.
The person behind him said that he could only offer this price, and he himself felt that it was a bit too ridiculous. Not everyone dared to take advantage of such a bargain in this world.
"How could that be? I am a law-abiding citizen. If Mr. Yun doesn't believe me, then I won't buy it. There are many other people who want to buy it. I am willing to give it to you because you are on good terms with Shopkeeper Qian. When you came with me to look at the shop that day, I saw that Shopkeeper Qian was very polite to you. Later, I found out that you are a great doctor, so I thought I was selling it to Doctor Yun. Who knows, in the future, I may need help from Doctor Yun again."
Now that things have come to this, it’s not a question of how much money is, but that if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to wait for the next one. Even if there is a pit in front of you, Chaoge is willing to jump into it.
Although Chaoge did not completely believe what the shopkeeper said, doctors of this era were indeed respected by ordinary people.
She simply assumed that what the shopkeeper said was true.
"Okay, let's go through the door today."
Before noon, Chaoge successfully obtained the title deed to the shop next door, and she immediately hired someone to start renovating it.
In order to finish decorating the store as soon as possible and make more money before the New Year, Chaoge asked the construction party to invest a large amount of manpower and paid much more than the current market price.
The hot pot restaurant's business was as stable as ever, with a daily revenue of more than 4,000 taels of silver, and there were still people queuing up. Knowing that they would not be able to get a table even if they lined up today, those customers had no choice but to make an appointment and come back the next day.
In a blink of an eye, it was the second auction. After Chaoge and Leng Furong checked the lunch accounts in the store at noon, they planned to go back.
It was mid-afternoon and no one was in the lobby. She didn't want to go out through the side door, so she went to the lobby.
As soon as he arrived at the junction of the lobby and the backyard entrance, Chaoge saw a beggar with a stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other, looking at the gate and trying to come in.
Before Chaoge could come forward, Huang Liang had already run towards him with a bowl of white rice and some vegetables.
"Eat. If you're hungry next time, don't come during mealtime. We're all very busy at that time and don't have time to serve you.
Just like this, come in the afternoon, we will always have extra food prepared in the kitchen, so you can always have food whenever you come."
Looking at Huang Liang's attitude towards the beggar, Chaoge shook his head.
Although she also told the store employees not to look down on others, but Huang Liang said this. Isn't he afraid that this beggar today will go back and bring a group of people to beg tomorrow?
"Thank you, brother. I, I want to look for Xue Fei in your store."
Chaoge!
"Brother Fei?! You're looking for Brother Fei? Do you know him?"
Huang Liang poured the food in his bowl into the beggar's bowl and was about to turn around and leave, but the beggar suddenly said this, which shocked Huang Liang!
Upon hearing this, Chaoge stepped forward quickly.
Seeing Chaoge coming out, the beggar's eyes suddenly lit up: "No need, I'm not looking for Xue Fei anymore, I'm looking for her!"
"Come with me."
The door of the shop was not a place to talk. Chaoge had not expected that the Beggars' Sect in this era was quite efficient. Could there be news about Yun Chaohao in just one month?
Hearing this, the beggar smiled at Huang Liang and hurriedly followed Chaoge into the shop.
Chaoge took the beggar into the accounting office, where Leng Furong was sorting out the accounts for today's noon and recording them in the book.
Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw Chaoge leading a beggar in, and she was so scared that she stood up from the chair.
"Please go out for a while. Let me borrow this room."
Leng Furong nodded blankly, walked out obediently, and closed the door for Chaoge.
"Girl, the person you asked to inquire has already got the news."
Chaoge!
"Where?"
This news was indeed a bit abrupt. Chaoge was trying her best to save the situation. She even felt that Yun Chaohao might no longer be in this world.
But unexpectedly, there was still a pleasant surprise.
"In Beipinglu, after Brother Dong received your order, he immediately sent the portrait to several countries, and gang members from each country began to search for it.
I just received news this afternoon that there is a child who looks very much like the one in the portrait, and even the mole specially marked on the portrait looks exactly like that child. "
"Beipinglu? Do you have the exact address?"
"Yes, yes, wait a moment, girl."
Hearing this, the beggar placed the bowl on the table and hurriedly rummaged through his tattered clothes. The unpleasant smell on his body was particularly obvious in this study.
Finally, after searching for a long time, the beggar finally took out a crumpled piece of paper.
Taking the note, Chaoge looked at the address written on it and frowned slightly.
"Isn't that the kid's address?"
"No, it's the address of our gang in Beipinglu. We, the Beggars' Gang, can help you get the person out, but the price is not low.
If the girl doesn't want to go there in person, our Beggars' Sect will be happy to help.
For the specific commission, you can go to the ruined temple to talk to our Dong Ge.
Our Dong brother said that if the girl wants to find someone herself, then she can take this address and give the remaining commission today."
