Nanzhi returned to the restaurant.
Liu Dayi returned carrying a chicken coop in each hand and placed it in the backyard.
Liu San came up and asked, "Brother, what are you buying chickens for?"
Could it be that my elder brother wanted to prepare some snacks for them to go with their drinks today, but he wouldn't need so many chickens?
And there are quite a few chicks.
Has my brother changed his taste recently?
Liu Er put down the chicken coop and slapped Liu San'er.
"What are you saying, kid? These are chickens that the master bought."
Moreover, the two coins in his pocket weren't even enough to buy a chicken's butt.
"Why did you buy so many chickens, Master?" Liu San'er asked, puzzled.
Liu Dazhao reached out and patted him on the head.
"Why bother asking so much about the master's affairs?"
Liu San covered his head, feeling extremely aggrieved.
He can talk, but he gets hit no matter what he does.
Nanzhi returned to the restaurant, which was currently under renovation.
Fu Zi managed to tidy up a room for Nan Zhi to live in.
Since I plan to stay here today, Nanzhi needs to send someone to inform Song Hanyan.
Nanzhi went to the backyard and called out to the person who had gone out with her earlier.
"You're coming here?"
Liu Da looked around and, confirming that his master was calling for him, put down his work and went over.
"master."
Nanzhi looked at the man and asked, "What's your name?"
Liu Da respectfully said, "Master, my name is Liu Da."
Nan Zhi nodded. "Go and tell Song Hanyan that I'm not going back today."
After saying that, Nanzhi took out one tael of silver from her pocket.
"Master, you mustn't!" Liu exclaimed in alarm.
It was just running an errand for a bit; how could he dare accept money from his master?
Nanzhi stuffed the silver into his hand, saying, "This is how I do things. If you don't want to do it, I'll find someone else."
Liu Da dared not refuse and accepted the silver from his hand.
It's heavy, quite substantial.
Over the years, whenever he received money, he would send it home immediately. Since becoming a menial soldier, he hadn't touched money in a long time.
I never imagined I could earn so much just by running errands.
That much silver could buy a lot of chickens.
Liu Er and Liu San felt incredibly jealous when they saw this.
Why doesn't the master ask him to do any work?
After finishing what I was doing, Liu Dezhi still hadn't returned.
Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that Liu Dezhi had gone to buy land.
Nanzhi asked where he was going and asked Fuzi to take her there.
————
Tianxia Yidi Building is located in the most bustling area of West Street.
The surrounding area consisted either of the courtyards of wealthy families or ordinary households.
The area to the left of the restaurant belongs to wealthy families; it's impossible to buy the courtyard there.
The only option is to start with the houses on the right.
The previous few parties had already reached an agreement and obtained the land deeds, leaving only the last tough nut to crack.
"Manager Liu, we won't make empty promises. It's just two thousand taels of silver, and we'll move out right away." He Xian pointed to his house, looking completely indifferent.
Liu Dezhi was furious.
Even if you offered him five hundred taels of silver for this dilapidated room, he would still hesitate.
If it weren't for the restaurant's expansion, this place would also be under expansion.
She couldn't be bothered to deal with people like that.
He suppressed his anger and laughed, "He Xian, we've been here for so long, you have to be reasonable. I'll offer two hundred taels, you can sell this dilapidated house to me."
He Xian: "That won't do!"
He Xian knew that his family was also planning to renovate, and since they were short of money recently, he was determined to squeeze some money out of them.
"Why not? Two hundred taels is enough to buy your house, and you can also buy a small courtyard nearby. This deal is quite a bargain."
People around me are trying to persuade me.
"Old He, two hundred taels is enough. I wouldn't even take this house if it were given to me for free."
He Xian: "What do you know, you old geezer?"
The fact that Liu Dezhi visited his home repeatedly shows how important his family is.
He also wanted to take the opportunity to make more money.
Those around him knew He Xian was no good, so they gave him a couple of pieces of advice and then stopped trying.
Liu Dezhi was furious. He Xian was clearly trying to scam him and was treating him like a sucker.
When Nanzhi arrived, the group was arguing.
A group of people surrounded the He family's gate.
Nanzhi stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa, what happened inside?"
A passerby said, "Little girl, just you wait, Liu Dezhi has run into a scoundrel."
After listening to various sources, Nan Zhi finally understood the whole matter.
In short, He Xian wanted to make more money by taking advantage of the demolition and relocation opportunity.
They set their sights on their restaurant.
The surrounding houses have all been demolished, leaving only He Xian's family in the middle.
The restaurant is going to expand, and inevitably, we'll have to buy this place.
Nanzhi understands people like that; after all, there were many people who received compensation for land expropriation in their time.
There are people who are even worse than him.
Nanzhi squeezed through the crowd.
"He Xian, don't push your luck. Giving you three hundred taels of silver in this shabby place is already a bargain. Don't push your luck."
Liu Dezhi's chest heaved with pride.
Having traveled all over the country for so many years, he is adept at dealing with the enemy's petty tricks.
But this was the first time he had ever faced someone as shameless as He Xian.
They're shameless, they have no shame at all.
Just as Liu Dezhi was about to make a move, Nanzhi reached out and pulled him back.
Liu Dezhi looked back and saw that it was his master.
"Master, I'm sorry." Liu Dezhi felt guilty.
His master gave him such a good job and trusted him so much, yet he failed to do it well.
Nanzhi patted her shoulder, gesturing for him to stand back a bit.
Liu Dezhi understood and immediately gave He Xian a provocative look.
