Daye seven years, Luoyang City.
This year's winter seemed to be exceptionally cold.
Especially in the days leading up to the new year, the bustling Luoyang City had become exceptionally deserted.
A shop on the northern street had been closed for a long time.
A man pushed open the door of the shop, patted off the dust, and walked in.
"Is this the shop my parents left me? It's small and broken. How can I make money?"
The man could not help but feel helpless when he saw the dilapidated shop and the dust everywhere.
His name was Ye Fan, and he was a transmigrator. He had been in the Sui Dynasty for half a month, but he was not like the male lead in online novels, who could kill the sky, kill the earth, and kill the air.
Although he had also obtained a system, this system was very deceptive. The host had to spend money to get a chance to draw.
The Normal Lottery required ten taels of gold, the Intermediate Lottery required a hundred taels of gold, the Advanced Lottery required a thousand taels of gold, and the Divine Lottery required ten thousand taels of gold.
Of course, the lucky draw was not limited to gold. As long as it was silver, copper coins, or even jewelry of equal value, they could be used for the lucky draw.
The system would automatically evaluate the value. When the value reached the standard of the lottery draw, the corresponding wealth could be consumed to obtain a lottery draw chance.
What made Ye Fan the most speechless was that this system even had a membership mechanism!
An annual membership fee of 100,000 taels of gold or equivalent currency. With an annual membership fee, one could obtain a chance to draw a high-level lottery. Moreover, there would be a 1% discount when spending at the lottery.
This system seemed to be telling Ye Fan a principle: You can become stronger by charging money!
When he first awakened this system, Ye Fan thought that this was a cheat designed by Ma Huateng. It felt like he had fallen into the eyes of money. He needed money to do anything.
However, after being depressed for half a month, he really had no choice but to accept reality.
Fortunately, Ye Fan's parents in this era left him a shop, and it was a shop in Beijing. This made Ye Fan feel like a rich second generation.
"Sigh, forget it. I'm not a person who blames society for a little misfortune. Since I'm here, I'll take it as it is.”
Ye Fan sighed lightly and then began to tidy up the shop. The first thing he had to do now was to survive. Although the system was very scammy and his background was not good, with his familiarity with history, he would definitely be able to soar into the sky one day and rise to the top!
The shop was not big. In less than an hour, Ye Fan had cleaned up most of it. It was clean inside and out.
Because the store's furnishings, tables, chairs, stools, and stoves were all readily available, Ye Fan did not have to worry about anything else. He could open for business after cleaning up.
In the past, this was a restaurant. Ye Fan thought about it briefly and decided not to mess around. He might as well continue his parents 'old profession. It just so happened that he also knew some cooking skills.
However, the weather was too cold now. Because no one had stayed in the house for a long time, it was extremely cold, making the outside warmer than the inside.
Under such circumstances, no one would be willing to come and eat, so Ye Fan went to the backyard to pull soil, planning to build a European-style fireplace in the hall.
After three days of hard work, the European fireplace was finally built.
Ye Fan also used these three days to hire a waiter for the shop. After all, he couldn't handle it alone.
On the first day of its reopening, two middle-aged men in luxurious clothes appeared at the entrance of the shop.
"Shopkeeper, your shop has been closed for almost half a year. Why did it suddenly reopen?”
"Aiyo, sir, please come in. To be honest, this restaurant belongs to my parents. They returned to their hometown half a year ago, so this restaurant was put on hold. But don't worry, I'm their biological son, and my craftsmanship is also passed down personally. Please take a seat and order whatever you want to eat. I guarantee that I'll make it taste like before.”
In his previous life, Ye Fan had worked as a sales manager for a while, so his mouth was extraordinarily sharp.
They didn't want to enter, but they couldn't stand Ye Fan's enthusiasm. They could only smile helplessly and walk in to find a place to sit down.
"Shopkeeper, it's so cold outside, but why is your room so warm?”
The two of them were very strange. The moment they entered, they felt that the room was as warm as spring and was surprisingly comfortable.
"The secret is over there. Please take a look.”
Ye Fan pointed in the direction of the fireplace and explained with a smile,"This fireplace is my own creation. It's beautiful and safe.”
European-style fireplaces would only appear in Europe a thousand years later. Now that Ye Fan said that it was his own creation, no one could chase him for the copyright.
"Oh? In that case, it's indeed not bad."
Their eyes lit up and they nodded happily.
It could be seen that they were all very interested in this fireplace.
"Shopkeeper, did you make this furnace yourself?”
"That's right."
Ye Fan nodded.
"Since you have this skill, why don't you develop it into a business? Building fireplaces for other people's homes or shops should be more profitable than guarding the restaurant, right?”
"I can tell at a glance that the two of you are from rich families. You don't understand the hardships of us, the people at the bottom!”
Ye Fan shook his head and sighed." Indeed. Normally, the weather is so cold now. Building a fireplace for people can indeed earn a lot. However, you've neglected a problem."”
"Now, although our Great Sui has already popularized the use of coal for civilian use, it is difficult to mine coal, especially in winter. The cost of coal is high, and even a businessman like me has to grit his teeth before he dares to buy a batch of coal.”
"Oh? Shopkeeper, you have a unique insight.”
The middle-aged man who spoke earlier was stunned for a moment before he nodded with a smile.
"May I know how I should address the two of you?"
Seeing that the conversation had started, Ye Fan simply did not think about doing business. He asked the waiter to bring a pot of warm wine and then began to chat with the two of them.
Through chatting, Ye Fan learned that one of these two had the surname Yang and the other had the surname Lai, so he simply called the two of them Old Yang and Old Lai.
In the cold winter, drinking a cup of warm wine and chatting in such a warm house was really a great pleasure.
