Chapter 100 Buying a Shop
"What did her son do wrong?" Although Jiang Tangtang was optimistic about this shop, she didn't want to cause trouble.
If she buys a shop and people come to cause trouble every few days, she will not choose it even if she likes it very much.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. This woman's son had a fight with someone and accidentally killed someone. It has nothing to do with this shop." Zhu Chengjiang said.
After hearing that no one had taken a fancy to the shop and was deliberately targeting the family, Jiang Tangtang began to negotiate the price with the woman with confidence.
Although the woman said that she could give her a discount, the price quoted by the shop was not low.
The woman in this shop had previously asked for five hundred taels.
The reason why they haven’t been sold for several days is mainly because the shop prices are high.
But perhaps because she hadn't sold anything for several days, the woman knew that her price was too high and was a little anxious, so she was willing to lower the price a bit.
Jiang Tangtang haggled with her for half an hour and finally bought it for three hundred and fifty taels.
The woman was eager for the money, and Jiang Tangtang didn't like to drag things out. After they agreed on the price, they immediately signed the contract.
The woman took the three hundred and fifty taels of silver given by Jiang Tangtang, looked at the shop reluctantly, and left with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Tangtang looked at the shop and clutched her wallet in pain. In just one go, she had spent all the money she had saved.
Fortunately, she had just discussed a business deal with Chu Mingyu, otherwise she would have been panicking again.
But although she was heartbroken, she was also happy. This was the first property she had purchased since traveling to this dynasty!
Jiang Tangtang said happily, "Let's go inside and pack up so we have a place to stay when we get to the city."
Lu Shili said, "Sister-in-law, please pack first. My brother and I are going out for a while and will come to pick you up later."
Jiang Tangtang glanced at Lu Shiyan and wanted to ask him what he was going to do, but after thinking about it, she didn't ask.
Lu Shiyan took the initiative to say, "Let's go to the blacksmith shop. Lock the door and don't go out. Wait for us to come back."
Jiang Tangtang was speechless, "I'm not a child, why are you treating me like a child?"
But even though she was speechless, she still went into the yard and locked the door under Lu Shiyan's gaze.
Although this shop was bought at a high price, it can be seen that the previous owner took great care of it. The old items that were not moved out are well preserved, and the rooms are also very tidy.
Of course, if you want to open for business, you still need to redecorate it.
Especially since this shop used to be a wine shop, which was completely different from the pastry shop she wanted to open. Both the shop and the kitchen had to be renovated.
Jiang Tangtang took out a tape measure, measured the size of the shop and wrote it down. After having a rough idea in mind, she went into the space to pick flowers, intending to make the dried flowers for scented candles in advance.
It was not until Lu Shiyan and Lu Shili returned in the afternoon that Jiang Tangtang hurriedly came out of the space.
"Are you hungry?" Lu Shiyan handed her an oil-paper bag and said, "Fill your stomach first."
Jiang Tangtang then remembered that she had been busy picking and preparing dried flowers since she entered the space and had completely forgotten about eating.
When Lu Shiyan mentioned it, Jiang Tangtang felt her stomach growling with hunger. Smelling the fragrance of the oil-paper bag, she swallowed unconsciously, "What is this? It smells so good!"
"Shrimp and egg pancake!" Lu Shiyan said.
Jiang Tangtang quickly took a bite. It didn't taste fishy at all. The shrimp was very fresh and tasted sweet.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang eating happily, Lu Shiyan's cold and indifferent brows softened unconsciously.
After watching Jiang Tangtang finish the omelet, he took out a fruit from his arms and gave it to her.
Jiang Tangtang’s eyes widened instantly. This seemed to be a papaya!
Ever since she came to Yazhou, she has paid special attention to observing whether she is on the street or in the mountains, wanting to see if there are any tropical fruits like those seen today.
But whether on the street or in the woods, she had never seen it. Jiang Tangtang asked excitedly: "How did it come?"
Lu Shiyan said, "I bought it on the way back just now."
"Why didn't I see when you bought it?" Lu Shili said faintly, "What is this? It's weird."
Lu Shiyan didn't bother to pay attention to his silly brother and just said to Jiang Tangtang, "I heard it was a fruit, and I thought you might know."
Jiang Tangtang said happily, "I heard that this can be used to stew milk and drink, and can also be used to make sweet soup."
The key is that papaya seeds can be used for sowing. With the magical space, she is confident that she can grow papayas.
You don’t have to worry about eating papaya anymore.
Lu Shiyan seemed to have expected Jiang Tangtang to recognize this kind of fruit and remained calm. However, Lu Shili was surprised and asked, "Sister-in-law, how come you even recognize this?"
"Just read more books and you'll know everything." Jiang Tangtang said halfheartedly.
Lu Shili was obviously very suspicious of her words, but he had no evidence.
Jiang Tangtang expressed her gratitude to Lu Shiyan for bringing her the fruit. Wen Wan said that next time she encountered some strange fruit, she would bring it back to her and then she would remember to ask if he had eaten it.
"We've already eaten!" Lu Shiyan said, "It's getting late. If there's nothing else, let's go home first!"
"It's fine for now!" Jiang Tangtang said, "We'll have to find a chef to remodel the shop and the kitchen and then we can start business."
After getting on the donkey cart, Lu Shiyan asked Jiang Tangtang in detail how she planned to renovate the shop, and he could help.
Jiang Tangtang rejected his offer, "You'd better stay home and recover! If you want to help, wait until your leg is healed."
"Actually, my legs have almost recovered." Lu Shiyan said.
"How is that possible!" Jiang Tangtang said, "Divine Doctor Xue said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. If you break the bone like this and then reconnect it, it will take even longer."
"That's what it says, but I feel..." Lu Shiyan didn't know what to say. He felt that his injury seemed to be recovering faster than before, and he was in much better spirits recently.
Jiang Tangtang suddenly felt a little guilty.
Could it be because of Lingquan and the fact that she would steal the wild vegetables and other things grown in the space every now and then for everyone to eat?
Jiang Tangtang was thinking about how to change the subject without leaving any trace when the donkey cart suddenly jolted and faint sounds of fighting were heard in the air.
Lu Shiyan instantly pulled out the big knife from under the car, said to Jiang Tangtang, "Stay in the car," and got out of the car.
"Brother, you stay with sister-in-law. I'll go see what's going on." Lu Shili handed the reins to Lu Shiyan and ran away following the sound of fighting.
Looking at his brother's back, then at Jiang Tangtang who had stuck her head out, Lu Shiyan didn't get off the cart. He drove the donkey cart into a more secluded bush and waited anxiously for news.
After a while, Lu Shili came back panting and said, "Brother, let's go back to the village."
