"Why isn't he here yet…?"
Li Xuan stood in the street with an impatient expression.
Was it just a sweet potato for Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhangsun Wuji? Why hasn't he returned yet?
They split up to deliver the goods. He went to the palace while the farmers went to the three Duke's Houses.
However, two hours had already passed, and these guys still hadn't returned?
"Slowly lift it, be careful not to bump into it!"
"Can't you guys be faster?”
"You? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and lift it!"
Just as he was waiting, a group of people rushed out of the restaurant behind him.
These people were carrying tables and chairs as if they were moving!
"Young master, please make way!”
An old man wearing a green robe and a small hat bowed slightly when he saw someone blocking the door.
"Uncle, why aren't you doing business? Why are you moving things outside?”
Li Xuan asked in puzzlement.
"This place is difficult to do business in, so this old man plans to change places!”
The old man glanced at the opposite side and said dejectedly.
"Why is it difficult?"
Li Xuan looked at the endless stream of people in front of the door and was somewhat puzzled.
This restaurant had three floors, and it looked magnificent and beautiful. Moreover, it was close to the brothel, so business shouldn't be too bad. Why was it closed?
"Young Master, you might not know this, but across the street is the Riches Restaurant opened by the public of the Kingdom of Qi. How would rich diners dare to eat here?”
The old man sighed.
"Zhangsun Wuji's restaurant…?”
A playful look flashed across Li Xuan's eyes. He didn't expect that this old man had such a profitable business in Chang 'an City apart from 12 hectares of fertile land.
It seemed that he had been too soft-hearted yesterday and had not cheated enough!
"Oh right, business is about fair competition. So what if it's a public restaurant? Does he dare to smash your shop?"
"No…"
The old man shook his head." In Chang 'an, most of the people who can come to the restaurant to eat are dignitaries. Ordinary people rarely eat and drink in the restaurant. The shopkeeper of the Riches Building will stand at the door every mealtime, scaring those dignitaries away from the restaurant. They are afraid of offending the Duke of Qi and losing their official positions!”
"So that's what happened!"
Li Xuan came to a realization as he pinched his chin and looked at the restaurant behind him with interest." Since you've changed locations, how should we deal with this restaurant?”
"Of course I sold it, sigh…!”
The old man sighed with a sad face and continued to instruct his subordinates to get busy.
"How much do you plan to sell it for?”
Li Xuan asked. With such a good restaurant and location, it could be used to sell wine if he bought it.
"Young Master wants to buy it?"
The old man sized him up. Seeing that he had an extraordinary bearing and seemed to come from a wealthy family, he quickly stopped.
"That's right!"
"Ten thousand strings, I'll sell it for ten thousand strings…!”
The old man pointed at the restaurant and added,""Oh right, there's a huge courtyard at the back that can be used as a wine cellar!”
"Ten thousand strings…?"
Li Xuan, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly realized how poor he was!
He only had about four hundred strings of coins in total. Moreover, he had scammed the three High Dukes yesterday. Even if he sold all his land, he would not be able to gather ten thousand strings of coins.
"If Young Master really wants to buy it, this old man will lower the price by 1,000 strings.”
The old man quickly said when he saw the troubled expression on his face.
There was nothing he could do. Although his position was good, it was just opposite the Zhangsun Clan's restaurant. Many people came over to ask, but there was nothing else!
Therefore, as long as he could sell it, even if it was a thousand strings cheaper, he was willing.
"This…?"
Li Xuan frowned as he thought about how he could raise 9,000 strings of money to buy the restaurant.
"9,000 really can't go any lower. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm facing the Duke of Qi, my restaurant would have sold for at least 15,000 strings!”
The old man thought that he thought it was too expensive and said with a bitter face.
"Good! I'll pay two hundred strings of coins as a deposit first. I'll send you the rest in a few days!”
After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
"Then I'll go prepare the contract…!”
When the old man heard this, he immediately beamed with joy. Then, he ran back to the restaurant and prepared the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
" Young Master, Young Master…!"
The old man had just entered when the farmers finally returned with their carriages.
However, they were all bruised and swollen. It seemed like they had been beaten up.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Li Xuan frowned slightly and asked in puzzlement.
"After we delivered the sweet potatoes to Duke Zheng and Duke Lu, we went to Duke Qi's Mansion. The butler was about to give us the money, but he was stopped by Young Master Zhangsun who came back from outside. Not only did he not give us the money, but he also beat us up!”
"Oh right, he also asked us to come back and bring a message to Young Master. If you want money and land, Young Master can go and find him personally!”
" Zhangsun Chong again…!"
Not only was Li Xuan not angry, but he was even amused!
When this brat was in the Imperial Palace, he was already unhappy because Empress Zhangsun had accepted his betrothal gifts. Now, he was venting his anger on the tenant farmers. This was clearly taking revenge!
However, this was also good. He was just worried that he could not get 9,000 strings. He did not expect someone to take the initiative to come to his door!
