Chapter 178 Buying a Shop
Qu Jingyao finally chose a house with a shop in front and a yard in the back.
The shop is big enough and the yard behind it is also not small.
"Miss, you have good taste. This shop has just come into our hands. It is a Feng Shui treasured location. However, the previous owner and his family are returning to their hometown, so no one is running the shop anymore. It used to be a rouge shop."
She listened to the clerk's long-winded introduction and frowned: "Just tell me how much money this shop costs?"
"Hehe, miss, you are still impatient. This shop wants this amount." The clerk stretched out three fingers and said.
"Three thousand taels, isn't that a bit high?"
"Miss, you may not know that this shop has a great location, and the shop was renovated just years ago. This amount is rare in Bianliang City."
Qu Jingyao frowned slightly and thought for a moment.
"Two thousand eight hundred taels."
"I really can't lose a cent."
"Two thousand six hundred taels. If you don't sell it, I'll go to the next buyer."
The waiter was stunned by Qu Jingyao's way of doing things, and then when he reacted, he said flatteringly: "Miss, how can you bargain like this? Why are you getting more and more..."
"Two thousand five hundred taels."
Qu Jingyao had already stood up by this time.
The waiter became anxious when he saw this. He had just made a big promise to his boss. If the cooked duck flew away, he would be severely scolded by his boss.
Thinking about the reward his boss had just promised him, he gritted his teeth and carefully tried to keep Qu Jingyao, trying to bargain with him for a good price.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard it.
"two thousand......"
"Miss, the deal is two thousand five hundred taels. You can't go back on your word."
Qu Jingyao walked slowly back to her seat and sat down. She raised the corners of her lips and looked at the waiter wiping the sweat from his forehead. She pursed her lips and smiled.
"Miss, you really didn't allow me to get any benefits at all!"
"That's not necessarily true. I think you'll just make less money, but you won't lose money. I'll also pick some smart guys, both men and women. It would be even better if there are accountants and shopkeepers."
As soon as she said this, the waiter frowned and looked at her strangely.
After a moment, the guy said with a look of embarrassment:
"It's rare to find a human broker like you, Miss. However, there was a former shopkeeper who was framed and bankrupted.
I had no choice but to pawn my entire family to pay for my mother's medical treatment, but she still couldn't be saved. He's a bit too proud and wants to buy the whole family together. I'll go call someone."
Qu Jingyao was also curious about what he said, and sat in the hall waiting for the waiter to come back.
At this time, the little maid came to her with a teacup, bent down, put down the teacup and left.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was a bit unpalatable, bitter and without any tea fragrance at all.
She put down the teacup in disgust and saw that the yard was full of men and women standing outside.
"Miss, please come over and choose."
Qu Jingyao slowly stood up and walked to the corridor. Looking at the people in front of her who were bowing their heads, she called out in a calm voice:
"Lift your heads."
The guy next to her immediately repeated her words, and Qu Jingyao glanced at him coldly.
I saw him nodding and scratching his head.
Qu Jingyao turned to the crowd and glanced at everyone.
Some looked away, some lowered their eyes timidly, and some had disdain in their eyes...
She reached out and pointed at a few of them, and the waiter next to her called them aside.
Qu Jingyao clearly saw several good-looking women in the team and breathed a sigh of relief.
The corners of her lips curled up in a sneer.
The waiter looked at the middle-aged man coming from the backyard and introduced him to Qu Jingyao with a smile:
"Miss, that's Shopkeeper Song."
She looked in the direction the waiter pointed and saw that there was a stubborn look between the brows of the shopkeeper Song, and his eyes were clear and full of righteousness.
"I wonder if Shopkeeper Song would be willing to come with me?"
Song Yunshan looked up in surprise. This was the first time someone asked about his wishes.
Looking at the young girl in front of him, Song Yunshan felt suspicious.
"Why me?"
"I want to open a shop and need a manager." Qu Jingyao curled her lips and answered simply.
Song Yunshan didn't expect her to answer like this. He was suddenly stunned and then asked her if she knew his situation. If she wanted to buy him, she had to buy his family, which was equivalent to buying the grudges he had with others before he sold himself.
"Well, I don't mind that. I can buy your family as well. Do you have any questions?"
"But the person I offended before was an official. Although he was only a fifth-rank official, he was very powerful and had great influence over others. This Bianliang City is very complicated..."
Qu Jingyao raised her eyebrows and smiled. This man was quite honest, so she said that she knew all this and was not afraid. She was upright and not afraid of anyone looking for trouble or revenge, as long as that person was not afraid of death.
Upon hearing this, Song Yunshan knelt down with a serious face.
"This slave has met his master."
Qu Jingyao chuckled and stepped forward, extending her hand to support him.
"Bring your family out."
Song Yunshan stood up and bowed to her, then turned and walked towards the backyard.
The clerk next to them brought their family's indentures and the shop deed and invited Qu Jingyao in to talk.
"Miss, the total is two thousand six hundred and sixty taels."
Qu Jingyao nodded, took out the silver note and handed it over, and gave him another ten taels and asked him to exchange all the deeds for official seals so that her name would be on them.
"Please wait a moment, miss. I'll do it right away."
After he finished speaking, the waiter happily took the deed and the silver and quickly walked out of the room.
Song Yunshan brought his family to the front hall.
"Master, these are my family members. This wife, Xu, and these three are my children."
Looking at the faces of this family, Qu Jingyao was quite satisfied. Her children had bright eyes and showed a sense of cleverness.
"Very good, come with me to have a look at the shop in a moment."
It was not until a cup of tea later that the waiter ran in panting.
"Miss, it's done."
The clerk handed the things and the keys to Qu Jingyao. She carefully looked through the deed in her hand and nodded with satisfaction.
He walked out of the pharmacy with a few people.
"Master, I know where the shop is. I will take you there."
Qu Jingyao nodded.
"Let's go and see what else we need to buy. I'm going to live there soon."
"Hey!"
The Song family swept away the previous haze.
Song Yunshan's youngest daughter is a smart and lively girl, about the same age as Qu Jingyao. She follows behind her master and keeps looking at him curiously.
Qu Jingyao, wearing a veil, attracted a lot of attention.
Xu protected Qu Jingyao tightly, fearing that she would be bumped into.
The two sons cleared the way on both sides.
Qu Jingyao noticed all these subtle details.
Soon the group arrived at the door of the shop.
The two-story building in front of him had an ancient style and a spacious facade, which made Qu Jingyao very satisfied.
Song Yunshan took the key from his master and went to open the door.
