Chapter 197 Ask Around

Gu Fei quickly opened the door and went in, "Mom, I'm back."

Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm back now, you girl is just too playful."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and go to bed."

She got up early and had breakfast in the lobby of the inn. When someone said that the Lantern Festival would be one day away, Mrs. Chen waved her hands repeatedly, "Don't look at it anymore. I still have a lot of work to do at home! I'll go back after breakfast."

Gu Fei was still thinking about the shop she visited yesterday. She thought for a moment and said, "Father, mother, you go back later. I have something else to ask."

Gu Zhang didn't know what Gu Fei was going to do, but he felt relieved about his daughter, so he told San Lang, "Then you stay and let your sister drive the car."

"Don't abandon your sister and go play by yourself like yesterday!"

Saburo said dullly: "No way."

Yesterday, his mother scolded him bloody, how could he dare?

Not long after, Gu Zhang and Chen took Dalang Erlang and the others back, and Gu Fei asked the third brother to drive to Yipin Pavilion.

Yipin Pavilion has just opened, and the waiter is still cleaning. Shopkeeper Wang is holding a purple clay pot and drinking tea from the spout.

Gu Fei went in carrying a bag of pastries and said to Yifu, the shopkeeper, "That's good, shopkeeper."

"Hey, isn't this Miss Gu? What kind of wind brought you here today?" Shopkeeper Wang quickly stood up.

Recently, Yipinge launched two dishes made with chili peppers in one day. At first, some people just ate them because they were fresh. After eating them, they couldn’t forget the taste and couldn’t help but brag to others. Over time, more and more people came here to eat spicy dishes. There are many, which also brings popularity to the store.

The restaurant could only serve two spicy dishes a day, so they had to make reservations. Now the spicy dishes costing 20 taels each have been reserved for a month.

How could Shopkeeper Wang be unhappy when he saw Gu Fei?

Gu Fei smiled brightly. As soon as she saw Shopkeeper Wang's enthusiastic look, she knew that the spicy dishes would sell well.

"I want to ask the shopkeeper about something today."

Shopkeeper Wang glanced at the pastry in Gu Fei's hand and secretly sighed that this girl was really good at handling things at such a young age.

He hurriedly invited Gu Fei inside, "Miss Gu, please come upstairs. As long as I know, old man, I will tell you everything."

The two of them entered a private room upstairs and sat down, and Gu Fei said her intention, "I passed by this street yesterday and saw an empty store over there. I wanted to ask if you know about such a good store. Why is it empty?"

Shopkeeper Wang's eyes flashed, "Miss Gu, are you interested in that store?"

Gu Fei nodded generously.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I advise girls, if you want to do business, you might as well look at other stores. That store is not easy to operate."

Gu Fei listened attentively, "Why is this so difficult?"

"That store belongs to Old Man Huang. He's actually not that old. He's only about forty years old. He just looks old. The silk and satin shop his family used to open was the largest silk and satin shop on this street. "

"He has an only son in his family. Two years ago, his son went to Shu to buy a batch of Shu brocade, but he was killed by Jie Dao on the way."

"Only a young boy with a broken leg survived, and he went through all the trouble to bring his master's body back. Old Man Huang and his wife passed away when they saw their son's miserable state. After dragging on for half a year, they also gave up. "

"Old Man Huang's wife and children were dead, and he had no intention of doing business anymore, so he sold the silk and satin in the shop and closed the shop."

"After a period of time, Old Man Huang gradually came out and walked around. Some people advised him to rent out the shop and collect some rent to support his retirement."

"Old man Huang agreed and rented the shop to a family that also dealt in silk and satin business. Who knew something would happen within a few days?"
