"Ding dong! "Congratulations, Master, for successfully changing the fate of the restaurant owner. You are rewarded with 10 points of spiritual energy and proficient in cooking. Master can cook top-notch delicacies under limited conditions..."
Meng Yang was overjoyed. What he cared about the most was that this culinary skill would allow him to survive in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, where there was a shortage of ingredients.
Otherwise, he would get anorexia.
However, he did not have a place to stay or any kitchenware. Meng Yang could only stay in an inn for the time being and buy some porridge to fill his stomach.
The next day, Meng Yang went to set up a stall to read fortunes again. When he passed by the restaurant from yesterday, he realized that the restaurant had not been closed down. Instead, there were a few big words written on it, saying that it was being sold at a low price.
There was a person at the entrance of the shop who was trying to buy the shop.
Meng Yang looked around and realized that the person was one of Cao Hong's followers.
Coincidentally, this restaurant was not the property of the owner last night, but Cao Hong's property.
That shop owner was just a shopkeeper.
If a murder happened here, no one would come to eat again. This restaurant would not be able to continue operating and could only be sold.
However, the people nearby all knew that there was a murder here. They all felt that this place was very unlucky, and no one was willing to take over.
Moreover, when they found out that this shop belonged to Cao Hong's family, they were even more reluctant to take over.
Because everyone now knew how unlucky Cao Hong was. First, his concubine had an affair and gave birth to someone else's son. Then, someone in his shop was killed. It was simply bad luck!
Therefore, no one wanted to be tainted by bad luck. Cao Hong had people constantly lower the price because he wanted to sell it in a hurry and not let this shop fall into his hands.
Originally, this shop occupied a very large area. According to the later generations, it was more than 600 square meters. Because there was a cross-courtyard behind it, it was located in the core area of the Xu Capital Business District. It was originally worth at least 300 taels of gold. Now, the price had been continuously lowered to 30 taels of gold!
No one was willing to take over!
And Cao Hong felt that this shop was too unlucky and was eager to get rid of it!
However, 30 gold taels was his bottom line!
When no one else was willing to take over, Meng Yang made his move!
He would take out 30 gold taels from the 10,000 gold taels that he had taken from Cao Hong from the system's virtual storage space, the Secret Treasury, and buy this shop!
Cao Hong knew that Meng Yang was the one who took over the business and felt a little strange. However, he never dreamed that the reason why the shop was in trouble was all because of Meng Yang's clever tricks and a bad omen!
However, Cao Hong was eager to get rid of this bad luck, so he could only sell the shop to Meng Yang for 30 taels of gold!
Naturally, Cao Hong did not know that Xu Capital would be the capital city for the next 20 years of Jian An Era. Because Cao Cao had yet to establish a firm foothold, many officials and nobles had doubts and did not come to seek refuge. In the future, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and unified the north, many officials and nobles would come to Xu Capital to settle down. At that time, many of them would be able to sell their land for money. This shop would not only sell for 300 taels of gold in the future, but it would also sell for 3000 taels of gold!
If Meng Yang bought this shop, he would earn a hundredfold profit in the future!
Cao Hong thought that he had gotten rid of a hot potato, so he mocked Meng Yang in private.""This little fraud is a fool. There have been murders and deaths in that shop. Whoever dares to go to his shop in the future will be closed!”
The shop owner next to him, as well as many townsfolk who knew about this matter, also mocked Meng Yang like Cao Hong.
"This little Daoist must be out of his mind. Someone died in this shop before, yet he still dares to take over!”
"I'm still young after all. I can't grasp it!”
"30 gold taels to buy such a large courtyard in this area, it's very worth it!”
"If no one died, of course it would be worth it. But if someone died, who would dare to live inside!”
"Don't forget that he's a Taoist priest. Why would he be afraid of this?”
That's right. Cao Hong and many others had forgotten that Meng Yang's business had the content of exorcising evil. Why would they be afraid of people dying here?
Even if this place used to be a mass grave, Meng Yang still dared to open a shop here!
Meng Yang did not buy this shop to earn a lot of money. He simply felt that the feng shui of this place was very good. Previously, he had arranged it coincidentally, but now that he had slightly adjusted the layout, it was a good feng shui!
After buying the shop and cleaning it up, Meng Yang turned the place into a dojo for fortune-telling and feng shui!
Many people looked down on Meng Yang's shop, thinking that he would close down in less than a month.
On the day that Meng Yang's shop officially opened, tens of thousands of people in Xu Du took to the streets.
Of course, they were not here to celebrate the opening of Meng Yang's new shop, but to send off Sikong Cao's expedition to Wancheng.
Cao Cao rode on the Vanishing Shadow Horse, full of ambition, feeling that he would definitely return triumphantly this time.
When Cao Cao passed by the spot where Meng Yang had set up his stall, he did not see Meng Yang from afar. He asked Guo Jia,""Fengxiao, where did the young Taoist priest who spoke nonsense go? Why didn't I see him?”
"This little Taoist has a shop and is now inside…" Guo Jia said.
"A shop?" Cao Cao laughed contemptuously,"When I return in triumph, I will humiliate him and make him unable to continue operating his shop!"”
Bian Yu-er was in the line of people who were sending her off with tears in her eyes.
(For the flowers that have passed 10000, thank you to all the friends who have sent flowers…)
