Chapter 228

When Nanzhi and his party came downstairs, Lu Zhong finally put away the sadness on his face.

"Have you guys decided yet?"

Nan Zhi smiled and nodded. Seeing the smile on her face, Lu Zhong felt relieved. At least now he could sell out the restaurant.

"Then I wonder when it's convenient for the girl to sign the deed?"

"Shopkeeper Lu, are you in a hurry?"

"That's not true." Lu Zhong smiled awkwardly and invited the four of them to drink tea.

"A few of us also took a look. Baiweizhai is really good, just on the third floor..."

Nanzhi paused while speaking and looked at Lu Zhong.

"The third floor is built on the back cover. I haven't thought about what to do, so it has been empty all this time." Lu Zhong explained quickly, fearing that they might think something big happened on the third floor.

At first, when he first bought this restaurant, it was very dilapidated, and he rebuilt it step by step to get what it looks like now. Unfortunately, the third floor was just renovated last year, and he had to sell it now.

"So that's it."

Nanzhi nodded and said with a smile: "We also looked at it. Baiweizhai is indeed good, but these one thousand taels are really too much."

Hearing her say this, Lu Zhong had a wry smile on his face: "Girl, I really have something to do at home now, otherwise I wouldn't have sold Baiweizhai. One thousand taels of silver is already the lowest price. You can also It can be seen that my location here is the best."

Seeing that they really couldn't negotiate the price, Nanzhi didn't say anything more. He only made an appointment with Lu Zhong to sign the deed the next day, and the group left Baiweizhai.

It wasn't until she turned a corner that Shen Miaomiao seemed to have regained her consciousness and spoke in disbelief: "Sister Nanzhi, are we going to buy Baiweizhai?"

"That's right."

Nanzhi didn't show it on his face, but he was nervous in his heart.

She had never opened a restaurant before, but this Baiweizhai was really good. Whether it was the location or the price, it fell on the top of her heart.

"But where can we get one thousand taels of silver?" The little girl was a little worried. The most she could afford at home was twenty taels, which was still far behind the one thousand taels.

Lin Yicheng pursed his lips and asked, "Is this one thousand taels too much?"

"One thousand taels is already very cheap. After all, the location here is really good. For such a big restaurant, I'm afraid there won't be anyone who can't afford 1,500 taels."

"Is there some hidden secret?" Lin Yicheng was still a little worried.

After all, what could make Shopkeeper Lu give up earning the five hundred taels of silver?

That's five hundred taels, not five taels of silver.

"Because no one dares to buy it." Lin Ercheng shook his head.

"For a restaurant as big as Baiweizhai, there should be people willing to buy it for even two thousand taels, not to mention one thousand taels. It's our turn to take advantage of this, I'm afraid it's because we are not wealthy people and don't know what's going on inside. ." Nanzhi said with a sigh.

A starved camel is bigger than a horse, I'm afraid the person behind it has some tricks.

"Then nothing will happen if we take it for granted?" Shen Miaomiao blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Since everyone knows there is a problem here, why does Sister Nanzhi still want to deal with it?

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Nanzhi confirmed.

Others in Yancheng did not dare to buy it because the forces here were so intricate that they were worried about disturbing anyone.

But isn't that what Shen Wenchen is trying to catch now?

Moreover, the Baiweizhai they bought is the least threatening to those in Yancheng City. After all, no matter which restaurant is bought by them, they will not want to see it. It is their turn to keep their family clean. If someone without a backer buys this restaurant, he will be laughed at at most.

Her instinct told her that she must own this restaurant. Perhaps this was the basis for her to gain a foothold here.

Because he was worried that going directly to the city lord's mansion would arouse some people's suspicions, Lin Ercheng pushed Nanzhi towards the county government office.

The previous city lord of Yancheng reduced the boundaries of the county government by more than half, and then built the current city lord's mansion with the county government's back. However, such a move has not attracted anyone's investigation.

After Shen Wenchen came, he simply smashed the wall between the city lord's palace and the county government office. As long as he went behind the county government office, he could go directly to the city lord's palace.

This was what Liu Jie told him originally.

The government servant standing at the gate of the county government office immediately smiled when he saw that the person coming was a member of the Lin family.

They are all county government officials, so naturally they know something about the Lin family.

Although I can't explain everything clearly, anyone who sees Liu Jie being polite to them on weekdays will naturally understand the reason.

The Lin family must have some relationship with the city lord. How could they, the errands, offend anyone.

When he saw them coming, he smiled and said hello.

"Brother Lin is here to see Brother Liu?"

A younger yamen servant asked.

"Hey, I have something to come to him for. I don't know if it's convenient."

"Convenient, convenient." As they spoke, the two moved to the side to let the four people in.

Liu Jie happened to come out and bumped into several people walking in.

After greeting the two Lin brothers, he noticed Nanzhi sitting in a wheelchair. Liu Jie couldn't help but be startled when he saw her appearance.

"What's wrong with Miss Lin?" He heard from his brothers that Miss Lin probably just stretched out her foot and tripped the person. Why does it look like she broke her leg?

"It's no big deal." Nanzhi smiled awkwardly.

"As long as it's okay, General Shen is still in the meeting at the moment. He won't be back for another half an hour. I'll take you to the City Lord's Mansion to wait for him."

Guessing their purpose of coming, Liu Jie took the four of them to the backyard of the Yamen.

"This side is the City Lord's Mansion." Liu Jie pointed to the garden in front of him and said.

Looking at the rockery, flowing water and various exotic flowers and plants in front of him, Nanzhi also swallowed his saliva.

No matter how you look at it, this is just a garden built by cutting down half of the county government's yard, right?

The two brothers of the Lin family were even more dumbfounded. Although they had heard about what the previous city lord had done, they still didn't quite believe in the private reform of the county government.

After all, this was the first time they saw someone who dared to reduce the county government office and turn it into a private residence.

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, Liu Jie stopped in front of a house.

"You guys sit here for a while, I'll ask someone to come and watch the tea." Liu Jie asked the four of them to sit down before leaving the room.

Nanzhi looked around at the furnishings in the room and guessed that it might be a living room or something.

A few people sat in silence and no one said anything. After a while, two waiters came in with tea.

The two young men were not very old. They poured the tea and set out the cakes with their hands and feet quickly, then stood aside and waited for instructions.

Suddenly the atmosphere in the room seemed a little weird.

"Miaomiao, drink tea." It was really quiet, so Nanzhi spoke to break the awkwardness.

"Hey, okay."
