Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 135 Poisoning to Redeem Someone (2)

When Jueqing received this intelligence, a sun-like smile finally broke through his icy expression. After reading it, he stood up, came to the oil lamp, and placed the intelligence below it, burning it directly.

The next day, before the restaurant opened, there was already a queue outside of people waiting to try the hotpot again, among them were many house servants from various mansions, all looking forward in anticipation for the restaurant to open.

As the shop assistant opened the restaurant doors, he was startled by the scene before him. The people in line didn’t care for formalities, they simply bypassed the assistant and entered to secure their seats, then waited to order.

In the blink of an eye, the waiter saw the restaurant’s hall rapidly filling up, and he was sweating bullets. Those who came later, finding the hall full, had no choice but to continue waiting on the side.

Feng Xuxu, standing at the corner of the staircase, saw how bustling the business was and thought about opening a chain of upscale restaurants, taking advantage of the hot trend. With that, she left for the home of Wang Zhongren.

Wang Zhongren was in the courtyard training some recently acquired people. Turning to see Miss Feng had come, he approached with a smile, "Miss Feng, how come you’re here today? If you need anything, just send someone to call for me and I’ll come right away." Then, he dusted the chair with his sleeve and invited Miss Feng to sit down.

"Hehe, it’s nothing much, just stopping by to ask if you have any decent properties for sale, I’m looking for something street-facing, the bigger the better." Sitting under the eaves on a chair, she looked at the people still shivering in the yard and shook her head in silence, this was ancient times, where it was normal to trade people. From initially feeling uncomfortable to now getting used to it, she found herself increasingly adapting to the ancient lifestyle. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Miss Feng, there are a few, one with two floors used to be a jewelry business, but due to not earning silver, they want to sell. Beside it, there’s another, a restaurant that failed due to poor management and wants to cash out. The rest are street-facing, but their locations aren’t as good."

"Then let’s go take a look at these two places you mentioned!" Feng Xuxu stood up and left the courtyard together with Wang Zhongren.

Arriving at the street-facing location, Feng Xuxu found the place satisfactory, although it was smaller than she had imagined, but it was still acceptable. Then, she visited the adjacent property and saw the tables and chairs from its days as a restaurant, covered in a thick layer of dust.

If she combined these two rooms, the space would double in size. After viewing, she began to negotiate the price with Wang Zhongren.

"Miss Feng, you’re a regular customer, and I wouldn’t dream of overcharging you. The jewelry store’s two floors are priced at two thousand six hundred silver taels, and this one is three thousand taels."

Feng Xuxu smiled softly, "Wang Zhongren, let’s do it this way, I won’t haggle with you, I’ll give you five thousand five hundred silver, and then you help me complete all the paperwork."

Wang Zhongren’s face beamed with joy upon hearing this, "Aye, alright, I’ll send over the deeds and whatnot to your residence tomorrow."

Under the cover of her wide sleeves, Feng Xuxu quickly retrieved several silver notes from her space, selected five one-thousand notes and one five hundred note and handed them to Wang Zhongren, "Mm, here are the silver notes. Deliver them to Zuiyun Pavilion Restaurant tomorrow."

"Right, I’ll make sure to take care of it," Wang Zhongren assured as he inspected the silver notes before tucking them away safely.

"Are there any carpenters in town? I want to completely renovate this place."

"Yes, there are quite a few in town. How about this, I’ll bring them to meet you tomorrow," Wang Zhongren recalled several places off the top of his head.

"Mm, then I’ll trouble you with that. And once the restaurant opens, I’ll be sure to invite you," Feng Xuxu said, her lips pursed and eyes curved into crescent moons, smiling amiably at Wang Zhongren.
