The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 22

[Chapter 22 Bargaining]

The next day, early morning.

The restaurant manager came to the door of the restaurant as usual and knocked several times, but there was no movement inside.

“This kid is getting more and more courageous, and he even dares to be lazy.”

The restaurant owner frowned, looked at the closed door, and shouted loudly: “Er Niu, open the door!” He

shouted several times in succession, and his voice became louder every time. Once again, there was still no movement inside.

At this time, the restaurant manager finally noticed something was wrong.

Er Niu was a boy he recruited from the countryside. It seemed that his mother was seriously ill, so he had to go to the city to find a job.

Although this man is not very clever, fortunately he does not need to be paid much, and he works hard. He gets up and cleans before dawn every day.

After a while, the restaurant owner used all his strength and shouted loudly: “Two “Niu, if you don’t open the door, I’ll deduct your wages!”

“I’ll deduct you all day long!”

The noodle shop owner stuck his head out and said angrily: “It’s so early in the morning, and I won’t let anyone sleep!”

The restaurant owner blushed !

He blushed and cursed in a low voice: “It’s insulting and vulgar.”

“What did you say?”

The noodle shop owner was a tall and thick man. In just one sentence, he had dressed and stood in front of the restaurant owner.

The owner of the restaurant looked up at him and whispered: “I said, Brother Liu, can you do me a favor and open this door.”

The strong man surnamed Liu looked at the door of the restaurant, clapped his hands and said, “It’s a joke! “

boom!

He kicked the door down, sending up a cloud of dust. When the owner of the

restaurant

saw this scene, he wanted to ask him to pay for it, but after taking a look at the bulging muscles on his body, he thought better of it.

“I’ll install it for you later.”

After the strong man surnamed Liu kicked open the door, he looked at the empty restaurant and said, “By the way, where is the Erniu in your store?”

The restaurant owner frowned and said, “I asked him to leave yesterday. He stayed to keep vigil, and I don’t know where he went.”

The strong man named Liu’s expression changed drastically, and he shouted: “Last night, I heard him calling for someone, something must have happened!”

At this point, he said As if he remembered something, he looked at the owner of the restaurant and rushed towards the backyard.

The restaurant owner looked at his back, gritted his teeth, and followed him.

In the backyard room, a thin man was lying next to the bed, covered with a quilt, his eyes staring straight ahead, as if sluggish.

The strong man surnamed Liu kicked open the door, and as soon as he entered, he saw the figure beside the bed.

He swallowed and said in a trembling voice: “Er Niu?”

When there was no response,

he looked at the figure, gritted his teeth, and cautiously took two steps closer.

At this time, the thin body slowly turned around, with a bloody face and dull eyes looking at the strong man named Liu, and said in a trembling voice: “Yes, there is a ghost!”

Chengnan.

The once bustling streets have now become extremely desolate, with scattered dead leaves hanging on the branches, making it look particularly desolate.

In the restaurant, a fat-bellied businessman raised his head and looked around.

On the side, the restaurant owner smiled: “Look, not to mention the location, this house is worth three thousand taels at least.”

Wang Baole nodded and said, “It’s really good.”

Hearing what he said, the restaurant owner’s face changed. A smile broke out on his face, and he said hurriedly: “It’s no wonder that he is the big shopkeeper of Baolefang, his vision is extraordinary.”

Wang Baole reached out and touched the porcelain on the shelf, and said: “The land, the house and the furniture, how much is the total? Silver, please give me a price.”

“Look,”

the restaurant owner thought for a long time, stretched out two fingers, and asked, “Is this a good amount?”

Wang Baole shook his head and said, “Two hundred taels of silver is too much? “

The wine shop owner was startled at first, then lowered his face, forced a smile, and said, “Shop manager Wang, are you joking? I mean two thousand silver.”

Wang Baole stopped, looked at the wine shop owner, and said, ” A day ago, two thousand silver was fine, but now…”

He shook his head and continued: “Two hundred silver is too much for me.”

The restaurant owner frowned and said, “These furniture alone are more than that .

If the cloth shop in the north of Xiacheng was not in urgent need of money to purchase goods, there would be no way to sell this restaurant for only two thousand silver.”

Wang Baole showed a disdainful smile: “Short of money to purchase goods?”

The restaurant manager looked gloomy. He said: “One thousand taels of silver cannot be less.”

“In that case, you can find another dental shop. I will not accompany you.”

After Wang Baole said this, he turned around and left.

The restaurant owner showed a look of struggle on his face, gritted his teeth, and still didn’t agree.

Chunfeng Tower is located in the busiest street in the south of Kyoto, and can earn nearly ten thousand taels of silver every year.

Not to mention the house, even this land can be sold for three thousand taels. Including the house and furniture, it is worth at least five thousand taels.

The price just quoted was two thousand taels, which was already a loss-making transaction.

One thousand taels is his bottom line. If it is less than this amount, even if it falls into his hands, he will not be able to sell it.

The two hundred taels offered by Baolefang just now was completely taking advantage of someone’s situation and asking for an exorbitant price, which he couldn’t agree to anyway.

What’s more, who knows the future changes. Maybe in two days, this street will return to its previous prosperity. This is not certain.

On the way back to Baolefang.

Wang Fugui, the second son of the wealthy Wang family in the capital, looked at his brother and asked puzzledly: “Brother, I think the Chunfeng Tower is worth at least five thousand silver, one thousand taels. We have taken a big advantage. Why did you just Don’t agree to that person?”

Wang Baole glanced at him and said, “Didn’t you hear anything strange when you went to Yirenju yesterday?”

“I”

Wang Fugui wanted to deny it, but after thinking about his whereabouts, He definitely couldn’t hide it from his elder brother, so he admitted generously: “I haven’t heard of it.”

Wang

Baole looked at him with hatred, shook his head, and said, “How can I trust you to take over the family’s property if you are like this?”

Fugui looked unconcerned: “Anyway, since you are the eldest brother at home, I will just be a dandy waiting to die.”

Seeing him like this, Wang Baole became furious and cursed: “Remember, no matter how rich the family fortune is, It can’t be

compared

to a spendthrift prodigal.

Let’s take the Anping Mansion, which can be considered a wealthy family in our capital. Just because a prodigal son has given up, now even his ancestral property has been mortgaged to our Baolefang.

, squandering food, drinking and having fun, what will he do next?

Now there is Uncle Anping protecting him. When Bossi Anping goes, he will be worse than a beggar on the street. Do you want to be like him

? Seeing that he was really angry, he hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: “Brother, don’t be angry, I know I was wrong, and I will never imitate that.”
