Chapter 114 Buying a Restaurant

Wen Luozhi turned around and saw a limping man walking towards them.

"Uncle, what do you need us for?"

"Young lady, I just noticed you were looking at restaurants that were up for sale. Are you planning to buy one?" the uncle asked, wiping the sweat from his brow.

Wen Luozhi nodded, "Let's take a look around here first. Surprisingly, out of all those options, none are suitable."

The old man seemed relieved and then said happily, "My house is currently up for sale. Would you like to come with me to take a look? It's right next to Banrixian."

Wen Luozhi's eyes lit up upon hearing this. The street where she had spent half a day was excellent in every way. It would be wonderful if she could settle down there.

She had considered going there before, but she had never seen any shops for sale.

After a moment's hesitation, she said to the old man, "Let's go take a look. If it's suitable and the price is right, I'll consider it."

The uncle smiled upon hearing this, "My surname is Yang, young lady, you can just call me Uncle Yang."

Wen Luozhi nodded. "Uncle Yang, does that restaurant belong to your family?"

Uncle Yang nodded and led the way, telling them about the restaurant.

It turns out that the restaurant was originally opened by his son in town, but after he married a woman from the county town, the restaurant was taken over by his father.

Now that his daughter-in-law is about to give birth to a grandson for the Yang family, his son thought it best to sell the restaurant and let the elderly couple go to the county town to live together and take care of their eldest grandson.

There are still many restaurant owners who want to work at their establishment, but due to its prime location and high prices, few can reach an agreement.

He thought he'd come here to see if anyone needed a shop, since most people would come here first when there are shops for sale here.

Surprisingly, he was quite lucky and actually ran into them.

However, he waited until they had finished looking at those things before coming out to find them. He knew better than to try to steal someone's place!

The owner, who had a half-day off, was in the shop today. When he saw Wen Luozhi, he had already rushed out, but after thinking about it, he pulled back his leg and raised his neck, pretending not to see Wen Luozhi.

Hmph! She's just a greenhorn, yet she thinks that Dessert Wonderland can surpass her Half-Day Leisure? Dream on!

Is she trying to sell her property because her shop is failing? Humph! He'll have to humiliate her properly then, since she rejected his cooperation in front of so many people last time and embarrassed him!

Qian San sat there calmly with his legs crossed, glanced outside discreetly, and when he saw her approaching, he squinted his eyes and began to hum a little tune.

He didn't hear anyone speak for a while, and when he opened his eyes, there was no sign of Wen Luozhi at the door.

He hurriedly stood up and looked around, only to see that she had gone into the restaurant next door with several other people!

Damn it! They didn't come looking for Qian San'er after all!

He turned around angrily and went back to the shop, still cursing "yellow-haired girl" under his breath.

This time, the system didn't have any complaints about the restaurant they went into. Hearing that it remained silent, Wen Luozhi asked, "How's this restaurant? It looks really good to me."

The restaurant has three floors. The first floor is for serving ordinary diners. The second floor has many private rooms, but the decoration is too plain and she doesn't like them. The third floor is empty and piled with some miscellaneous items. The huge space looks very wasteful.

This time, the system didn't say anything about the feng shui location being bad, so Wen Luozhi felt that it should be fine.

"Uncle Yang, how much silver are you planning to spend on this restaurant?"

She was quite satisfied with the restaurant, setting aside its decor and three-story layout. If she could acquire it, she could easily renovate it herself.

Seeing that things were looking promising, Yang Bo's eyes lit up with joy. "Miss, you've seen our restaurant; it's quite excellent. One thousand two hundred taels, no bargaining."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wen Luozhi nervously. He hadn't expected that the previous bosses would refuse the items because they were too expensive…

Sure enough, when he saw Wen Luozhi frown, his heart sank. It seemed he wouldn't be able to exchange it this time!

Wen Luozhi glanced up at the third floor again, then smiled at the man in front of her who looked dejected, and said, "Uncle Yang, it seems your third floor has never been used. Some parts are damaged. If I buy it, I'll have to spend money to renovate it myself."

"I really like this restaurant. Could you give me a discount?"

Uncle Yang thought about it. Indeed, the third floor of his restaurant had never been used. His son had suggested that he take the lead in demolishing it, but he couldn't bear to. After all, he had watched the restaurant grow step by step to where it is today, so how could he bear to move it?

A conflicted look appeared on his face, and his brows furrowed.

"Uncle Yang, you probably don't really intend to sell this restaurant for money. This restaurant is your old partner, isn't it? You're just selling it at a nostalgic price."

Wen Luozhi looked around at the tables, chairs and benches. They looked old, unlike the newly purchased ones in other restaurants.

Such a large restaurant couldn't possibly be short of money to exchange for goods, and the old man even had tears in his eyes when he talked about selling the restaurant.

Her words struck a chord with Uncle Yang. His family was not short of money, but he had watched this restaurant rise and fall, and it had almost gone bankrupt several times but still managed to survive.

He originally intended to sell it for a thousand taels, but fearing that others wouldn't treat it well, he raised the price slightly, so that people wouldn't waste it given the high price.

"Young lady, you are wise. As for me, I am indeed as you say."

"If you can promise not to ruin this restaurant and continue with the current business after I take it over, I'll sell it to you for a thousand taels. If not, then it's just that this old man's restaurant and you are not meant to be."

Someone actually wanted to buy it to use as a brothel, which he vehemently opposed! Later, the owner, probably seeing that the restaurant was in a good location, negotiated with him and offered 1,500 taels of silver, which he firmly refused.

"Alright! One thousand taels it is! I guarantee I'll continue in this food business. Uncle Yang, if you're worried, you're welcome to come back and visit anytime."

Wen Luozhi laughed inwardly. A thousand taels was a huge bargain for her! She would have had a hard time getting a two-story restaurant for 1,200 taels, but she got this three-story restaurant for a thousand taels without breaking a sweat!

value! So worth it!

After handing over those items, Wen Luozhi immediately gave Uncle Yang several large silver notes, which made Wen Zian's temples throb, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Judging from what my sister usually says, it's cool! So cool!

The way Wen Luozhi flung the silver notes around made her look just like a big boss, which made Wen Zi'an's eyes sparkle.

Uncle Yang was incredibly impressed by how decisive this young girl was. It was truly rare for someone so young to have such courage. He figured she would be able to run the restaurant well, so he was relieved.
