C152 Smash the Shop
"Yes, let's go and take a look first." Lin Miaoting nodded.
After receiving the order, Xia Yu led Li Miaoting along the street. As for how long they walked, they walked. It was only when Lin Miaoting's legs felt somewhat weak that she finally arrived at the door of a restaurant that was about to be sold.
This was a two-story restaurant. The first floor was the dining hall, and the second floor was the private room. On the plaque were three big words, [Fragrance Gathering Pavilion]. This name method was similar to the Jufu Restaurant.
"Miss, please come in." At this time, the waiter who was standing at the door greeted Xia Yu and Lin Miaoting. He walked up to them with a warm face.
"Thank you." Out of courtesy and the basic etiquette that was developed in modern society, Lin Miaoting thanked the waiter.
Hearing this thank you, the waiter happily led Lin Miaoting and Lin Miaoting to the lobby.
The lobby was very spacious and the layout was very exquisite. As for the customers in the lobby, there were also quite a number of them. She really couldn't think of such a big restaurant. Moreover, there were quite a number of restaurants, and they were actually going to be sold.
What was the boss thinking? Could it be that he owed some sort of debt? With all kinds of doubts, Lin Miaoting looked at the waiter and spoke.
"I want to find your boss."
"You two, do you want a restaurant?" The waiter asked bluntly.
Lin Miaoting did not turn around and just nodded her head.
The waiter paused for a moment and then led Lin Miaoting and the other two to the private room on the second floor.
"Shopkeeper, two ladies have come to the restaurant." The waiter pushed the door open and greeted the people inside. Then, he first invited Lin Miaoting and the other two in, closed the door from outside, and ran downstairs to do his own things.
"Ladies, please come in." A slightly aged voice came from the private room. At this time, Lin Miaoting realized that this private room was different from the one she used to go in the past. It was that kind of suite.
Lin Miaoting and Xia Yu walked towards the private room after hearing the voice. A faint fragrance of flowers wafted out from the private room.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties was sitting in the private room. He was dressed in a pure indigo robe.
"Are you the owner of this shop?" Lin Miaoting asked.
"Yes. I wonder if you like this shop?" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Miaoting and gestured for her to sit down. Then, he continued to trim the few pots of flowers placed at the window.
"Sir's restaurant is very well opened, so I have a question." Lin Miaoting looked at the man who carefully trimmed the flowers.
"Please say."
"Shouldn't you continue to open such a good restaurant?" Lin Miaoting asked.
"Haha." The man used the handkerchief beside him to wipe the scissors. There was a circle of gold around the handle of the scissors. "Many people have already asked me this question. The reason is that I don't want to do it anymore. " I want to try another business. Plus, I don't know where the Jufu Restaurant has gotten so many new ideas. Fine." As the man spoke, he sighed, "The waves are pushing the waves forward!"
The long river and the waves push the waves forward? Lin Miaoting dryly laughed. Isn't the back waves that you are talking about now sitting in front of you?
Then how much does Sir intend to sell this restaurant?" Lin Miaoting asked bluntly.
"A hundred thousand." The middle-aged man crossed his fingers.
One hundred thousand taels! Although Lin Miaoting had thought that this restaurant would be expensive, she did not expect it to be so expensive. However, the man did not finish his sentence. He then added, "The things in the restaurant and the house in the backyard are not counted. I will build a wall at the back and separate the restaurant from the house in back. What do you think?"
Lin Miaoting listened to the man's words and wanted to kill him. It was like a shell that could tear through the sky was worth a hundred thousand. You are too dark. Moreover, she only had a hundred thousand yuan now. If she bought this restaurant, how could she hire someone to renovate it?
"Thank you, sir. I'm afraid I won't be able to accept this price." Lin Miaoting's voice was slightly regretful.
"No problem. I hope we can cooperate again when we have the chance." The middle-aged man stood up and saw the guest off.
Seeing the man stand up, Lin Miaoting's mouth twitched. Fortunately, she was wearing a veil or else she would have ruined her image as a lady.
"Goodbye." Lin Miaoting got up and led Xia Yu out of the restaurant. She felt a bit regretful but she had no choice. The price was not beautiful.
Lin Miaoting left the Fragrance Gathering Pavilion with a slightly disappointed expression. She really liked this place, but she could not do anything about it... She let out a long sigh in her heart.
"Miss, don't be discouraged. I asked around this morning that there are many shops selling on this street. Let's slowly look for them." Xia Yu saw that Lin Miaoting's expression was not good and comforted her.
"Yes." Lin Miaoting looked at Xia Yu and replied with a somewhat dispirited expression.
The two of them walked along the bustling street, although they saw quite a number of shops in the middle that were about to be sold. However, it was either because the price was unreasonable or because the location was not good. In short, Lin Miaoting's road to buying a shop was full of difficulties.
The sun was setting in the west. Some of the surrounding stalls had already started packing up their stalls and preparing to go home. At this time, an old voice with a trace of sobbing came from the front.
"You can't smash it, you can't smash it... I beg you, don't smash it." The sound became softer and softer, but the crying became heavier and heavier.
Following the source of the sound, Lin Miaoting brought Xia Yu to the gathering point in front of them.
It was not easy to squeeze into the open area in front of them. What entered their eyes was a group of young men holding various kinds of weapons and smashing the shop's things. One of them even directly removed the plaque on the shop.
On the opposite side of the shop, which was the closest place to them, an old man was crying as he pulled on the arm of the person who shouted the slogan. His voice was full of begging.
"What's going on?" Lin Miaoting asked the woman who happened to be standing next to her.
"Sigh! What else could it be?" The woman first sighed and then said, "Bullying others with your power. The one who beat them up is our benevolent medical clinic. The one who was beaten up and dragged along is Old Li, the manager of the Li Medical Shop. Sigh, it's also worrying. This is the second time this family has been smashed. "
"Did a dispute happen?" Lin Miaoting continued to ask in a low voice.
"There was no dispute. It was this small medicine store that sold the medicine at a cheaper price and the efficacy of the medicine was on par with the Renji Clinic. Hence, " Many people like us go to this small medicine store to buy medicine. Isn't this blocking the way for the Renji Clinic to make money? That Renji Medical Clinic can't stand it anymore. They brought people to find trouble. Last time, they said that someone bought fake medicine at the Li family's medicine store. They treated people and beat them up. Later on, it was a physician who happened to leave the palace who saw it. He looked at the person who said that the person was treating the injury and said that the person did not eat bad medicine. That was why the compensation was waived, but in the end, it still smashed the shop. This time, it was good. He directly brought people to smash the shop. As for the reason behind it, I'm just a poor commoner and I don't really understand why. "
