Chapter 54

Xiao Chao’s small yards are all worth about 400 taels, while Li’s shopkeeper’s yard is 10 times larger than Xiao Chao’s, plus the decoration and location, 6,000 taels is really not expensive. Shopkeeper Li was reluctant to sell.

However, Xiao Chao didn't have 6000 taels in his hand.

"Treasurer Li, I only have 4000 here, you see?"

Xiao Chao asked tentatively.

"4,000 taels? That's not acceptable, 4,000 taels is too little, I originally bought this house for 10,000 taels!"

Shopkeeper Li shook his head again and again, "Besides, I'm still waiting for Yinzi to be my son, so it's too far away!"

Xiao Chao saw the appearance of shopkeeper Li and knew that 4,000 taels would definitely not work.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "How about this, you can deduct my roast duck and hot pot bills from there. If it doesn't work, I can't take it out, so I can only choose another place!"

Shopkeeper Li hesitated.

His such a big yard, not to mention a few days, may not be sold in a few months, but his son can't wait that long.

"Okay, that's 4,000 taels, plus deduct your bonus for this month, but you have to write me 2 more recipes for free, like Peking duck, which can make you a quick buck!"

Shopkeeper Li said.

Xiao Chao's Peking Duck is actually not expensive, so the profit is very high. If you have two more, let everyone try it again, maybe you can make a fortune quickly and make up enough money.

"no problem!"

Xiao Chao has a lot of recipes, and it is not a problem to write two kinds.

After picking out two famous dishes, Xiao Chao copied down the recipes, and then took out 4000 taels of silver notes.

Shopkeeper Li also went back to the house to find the land deed and the deeds of sale of the two servants, and completed the transaction with Xiao Chao.

After completing the transaction, shopkeeper Li left in a hurry with the banknote and the menu, obviously wanting to quickly add new dishes to the menu so as to make money quickly.

"What's your name?"

Xiao Chao looked at the two servants, one old and one young,

"Old slave Li Zhong."

"Old slave Li Fu is his son."

2 people replied.

Xiao Chao nodded, and asked the two of them to take him around several houses.

As shopkeeper Li said, the decorations in the five houses are all new, but after all, it is where I live, with less furniture and decorations, and more vulgar.

In the words of the earth, it is not tall enough.

"My future guests will be the young lords and mistresses of the three major families, the city lord's mansion, they can't be shabby!"

Xiao Chao decided to buy some high-end furniture, at least the same arrangement as the VIP room in Juxian Building.

But right now Xiao Chao only has more than 100 taels of silver in his hand, which is really not enough.

"It seems that I have to wait until I want to open it, but it just so happens that I have to go to the Cloud Forest to improve my strength to be a martial artist, and I don't have time for now!"

Xiao Chao pondered.

But you can't do business, but you can live in it without any problem.

Of the 5 houses, three are reserved for business use, and he and Xiaocao share the remaining two. As for Li Fu and Li Zhong, both lived in the small room behind the house.

After the arrangements were made, Xiao Chao went back again and took Xiaocao over.

"This is Xiaocao, you two will follow her orders from now on!"

Xiao Chao said to Li Zhong and Li Fu.

"Yes, young master!" Li Zhong and Li Fu walked in front of Xiaocao again, and said respectfully, "Miss Xiaocao, tell us father and son to do what we have to do in the future!"

"Uncle Zhong, Brother Li Fu, I am also the young master's maid, you don't have to be so polite to me, if there is any work, let's finish it together!"

Xiaocao hurriedly said.

"That's enough, Xiaocao, let them do whatever work you have, you'd better practice hard!"

Xiao Chao said from the side.

Xiaocao is bound to a 4-star red card, worth a million taels of gold. Xiao Chao is absolutely reluctant to do rough work with such a fortune.

"It's the young master!"

Xiaocao gave Li Zhong and Li Fu an apologetic look, and hurried to Xiao Chao's side.

"It's been two days, let me see how your Bengshiquan and Jinghongbu are doing?"

"yes!"

Xiaocao started to practice Bengshi Fist with her startling steps.

After 2 days of practice, Xiaocao's 2 martial arts have almost reached the level of proficiency.

In addition, Xiaocao's realm is also on the verge of breaking through, and it is estimated that he will be able to break through tonight.

It took Xiao Chao, a young genius of the Xiao family, a month to break through from the 1st level of martial arts to the 2nd level, but Xiaocao only took 2 days.

Although there is the effect of the double experience pill, it is enough to show the strength of the 4-star talent.

When Xiaocao finished the rehearsal, Xiao Chao gave some pointers, then sat in the gazebo and began to watch Xiao Fengyun's video.

Watching Xiao Fengyun's video, not only can comprehend the essence of "Quick Snow Flowing Light", but also observe the martial artist's use of true energy, which is of great benefit to Xiao Chao.

The next day, as expected by Xiao Chao, Xiaocao successfully advanced to the second level of martial arts.

But the 2nd level of warriors is still far from Xiao Chao's expectations, so Xiaocao did not relax, and still practiced diligently.

In the afternoon, Zhang Qiang's shout suddenly came from outside.

"Master Xiao? Does Master Xiao live here?"

"How did you find it here?"

Xiao Chao said strangely.

"Brother Zhang, here it is!"

Xiaocao also recognized Zhang Qiang's voice, and hurried to open the door.

"Yeah, Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Zhang Qiang's appearance, Xiaocao was surprised.

Xiao Chao took a look and found that Zhang Qiang's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, obviously he had just been beaten.

No matter how Zhang Qiang also helped him, Xiao Chao still needs to care about it.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Chao asked.

"Hey, don't mention it, it's not those gangsters!"

Zhang Qiang probably said it once.

It turned out that the four brothers Zhang Qiang listened to Xiao Chao's arrangement and found a place to sell skewers.

Not to mention, the 4 people really earned more than ten taels of silver after doing business for a day, and the materials were all provided by Juxian Building, so the 4 people were very worry-free.

Unexpectedly, they were opening today, but they attracted a group of gangsters to collect protection fees.

"Those bastards are too bastards. We mentioned Lord Xiao's name, but they didn't give face, but who are we? The four of us are Lord Xiao's people, we can't embarrass Lord Xiao, so we also made a move. There is Xiao With the Lord in our hearts, we became more courageous and stronger, and easily beat those five gangsters away!"

Zhang Qiang puffed up his chest, but the bruises on his shoulders and chest were touched, and the pain made him grin his teeth and feel uncomfortable for a while.

In fact, those people didn't give Xiao Chao face, but they didn't believe that Zhang Qiang and the others would know Xiao Chao. Of course, if Zhang Qiang came here to file a complaint, it must be beneficial.

Xiao Chao looked at Zhang Qiang's embarrassed look, and said dumbfoundedly: "It's fine if you beat him away? Then it's nothing to do with me!"

"Cough cough." Zhang Qiang coughed dryly a few times, and said hastily, "Master Xiao, listen to me, this matter is not over yet!"

"Then finish it in one breath, and don't flatter!" Xiao Chao frowned.
