Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 389 Buying a House at a Dental Clinic

The people present were very excited and started shouting "Long live the emperor".

Although Shen Yu felt that the scene was unreal and like a play, he could only shout a few words to show his loyalty.

But in his heart, he looked up to Lu Lang and the others, wondering where they came up with such a good idea.

This grand event of the Wanshou Festival will definitely make a great addition to the county magistrate's record of achievements.

After the fireworks were over, there were no other particularly interesting programs.

The flower boat weighed anchor and docked, and the drum band played another cheerful drum music on the dock.

Amid the sound of gongs and drums, performances of dragon and lion dances and various acrobatics began.

But the weather was too cold at night and we were by the river in the suburbs.

After the excitement of watching the fireworks wore off, Shen Yu and the others felt it was too cold and a little unbearable. What's more, they couldn't see clearly from far away, so there was no fun in watching any further.

After discussing it, everyone squeezed out of the crowd and went home.

Everyone was very excited along the way and didn't feel cold when walking, so we returned home quickly.

When they got home, Yutao and the other two discussed the beauty of various fireworks for a while, and then at Li's urging, they washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.

The busy and lively Wanshou Festival has passed.

Although everyone went home very late that day, Fengnian Restaurant still opened early the next day as usual.

As expected, not many people came for breakfast and the shops along the street opened later.

Various festive decorations on the streets are still fluttering in the cold wind, adding some bright colors to the coming winter.

Shen Yuru got up early as usual, and after having breakfast, she made some of Qiqi's favorite cakes and pastries, as well as a portion of amber meat that He praised highly, and put them in a food box. She took the silver bills and went to He's house.

After meeting He, Shen Yu told her about the money he received during the Wanshou Festival, and then handed her the silver note he had prepared.

After hearing what happened, He was very happy for Shen Yu.

Seeing that she had enough money, he did not refuse and accepted the banknote readily.

He returned to the room and took out the house deed and the IOU that Shen Yu had insisted on leaving as collateral and returned them to them as they were.

The two sisters sat there chatting, and He asked Shen Yu with concern whether he had any plans to expand the restaurant in the future now that he had money.

Shen Yu knew that He had a good business sense and did not hide anything from her.

He hurriedly told him about his plan to open an inn and the conditions of the houses he had seen in the alleys, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

He thought for a moment and said, "It would be nice to open a big inn near the market."

"Seeing is believing. I have never seen the alleyway beyond your backyard."

"Wait for me for a moment. I'll change into some going-out clothes and go with you to take a look."

"If it's really possible, I know a reliable broker. If you want to buy a house, you have to find him."

"Or, you can go and negotiate with the owners one by one, which is troublesome and difficult to determine the price."

Shen Yu was touched. Opening an inn had nothing to do with He, but He was so enthusiastic that he treated it as his own business.

In such cold weather, they are willing to go out for this matter. Only sisters can do this.

He changed her clothes, told Qiqi to practice calligraphy and study hard at home, called Xu Ma to come and look after her, and then took a taxi back to the restaurant with Shen Yu.

There weren't many customers in the restaurant, but because there was a cotton curtain at the door and there was an insulated steamer emitting steam in the room, it seemed much warmer than outside as soon as you entered.

When He went out on weekdays, she would often bring Qiqi to the restaurant to play for a while, and she had already become very familiar with Li and the others.

After everyone greeted each other and exchanged a few pleasantries, He and Shen Yu went to the backyard alley together.

He walked back and forth twice in this narrow alley, and then carefully looked inside from the collapsed wall to see the size of the place.

I measured the size of the courtyard with my feet and felt that if they were combined into one, they could indeed open a large inn.

The two returned to the restaurant and discussed it with Li, then took Shen Yu on a taxi to a dental shop that specialized in estate business and found the dental practitioner Jin Daren whom she was familiar with.

Jin Daren is a sturdy middle-aged man wearing a brown silk shirt and black woolen cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles. He looks smart and neat.

After hearing what He said, he smiled and said, "It's not difficult. The houses near the market are not available even if you have money, except for the shops facing the street. The houses in the alleys behind are not expensive."

"If someone is willing to offer the right price, the residents are willing to sell their houses and move to a new one."

"If we don't do business at the market, living there is really not as convenient and comfortable as other places."

"Mrs. He, which houses do you want to buy? I'll help you negotiate."

Shen Yu and He had already discussed it before coming to the dental office, and were going to negotiate under the pretext of wanting to buy a few rooms to store the goods as warehouses.

Instead of merging to open an inn, the residents might think it is profitable and raise the price out of thin air.

He told him the location, and Jin Daren looked through the houses registered for sale in the dental office and smiled: "You two are lucky. Four of the six households have registered for sale."

"But the house is in such a dilapidated state that we have not been able to find a suitable buyer."

"I think the remaining two companies can be easily bought if the price is right."

He and Shen Yu were very happy to hear this. They looked at each other and He said calmly, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Mr. Jin to buy these houses."

Although the houses in that alley were cheap and the commission was also low, Jin Daren still smiled and agreed immediately.

He promised that he would have a reply in three to five days, and would then send someone to notify He and the others to come over.

He and Shen Yu left the dental clinic and went home in the car.

Shen Yu said cheerfully: "Third sister, I didn't expect this to go so smoothly."

"He smiled and said, "Silly girl, what's so unexpected about this?"

"If it weren't for your restaurant being opened there, it would just be connected to this alley."

"It's just for nothing. Who would buy a few shabby houses for no reason?"

"Like I said just now, it means that the merchant company is willing to buy a lot and put down the goods."

"Don't worry, the price of these houses is definitely not high, and it won't cost much money."

"But you only bought a piece of land. You have to rebuild it completely before you can use it. That's the big expense."

Shen Yu had also thought about this. Those houses were old, low and narrow. It was impossible to use them directly as an inn. They had to be demolished and rebuilt.

He continued, "Although I have bought several houses, I have never built a house myself."

"I don't know how much it will cost to build this house."

"However, if you are short of money and need any money, just come to my house and tell me directly."
