Settled in Qixia Town, started with Qingwen

Chapter 46 One-armed
"Shopkeeper, it's still several months before Chinese New Year, so you don't need to buy so many things."

On the street, Guo Furong staggered with a slanted body, and her uninjured arm was covered with large and small bags.

"The opposite side is closed down. Our business is coming back. We will be busy in the future. There is no time to go shopping. Now we just buy everything that should be bought."

Tong Xiangyu walked in front, walking briskly, waving a fan.

It wasn't that she ordered Guo Furong on purpose, but the latter proposed it on her own initiative.

Everything is taken by the latter, and ten cents will be deducted from the money owed.

Of course, at first she proposed fifty essays, but Tong Xiangyu cut it down to ten essays.

"I understand that you buy other things. Who are you going to wear these dozen sets of old clothes with patches?"

"Old Bai definitely doesn't like it. It's too small for a big mouth, and it's too small for a scholar. Maybe he thought he was insulting him. He would say something about the literati's style. Wearing this kind of dress is degrading."

Guo Furong struggled to walk, carrying so many things, the clothes alone were heavy enough.

All thick clothes.

"Ah, it's not for them, let's guess again."

Tong Xiangyu smiled.

She thought the answer was at hand.

"It can't be for Mr. Li, can it? He just bought new clothes, and he is so rich, how could he care about this kind of clothes. The casual clothes before were just transitional."

"Could it be for Lao Xing and Xiao Liu?"

As Guo Furong was talking, her mind suddenly turned around, and she said, "I know! It's for those beggars, right?"

"That's right! I only guessed it now, you're stupid."

Tong Xiangyu thought that it was just a change of luck by inviting the beggars to a big meal.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the opposite side would not be able to do it the next day.

Although Li Xin had already speculated, he did not say that the specific date is not.

She had to be a good person herself, so she was lucky enough to hasten the downfall of the restaurant opposite.

And having enjoyed the sweetness, she deliberately paid attention to the stalls selling second-hand old clothes when shopping, and bought more than a dozen sets of thick clothes.

Proper clothing stores do not sell second-hand goods.

"When you get back to the inn, you give the clothes to Xiaomi first, and let him distribute them himself."

As Tong Xiangyu said, the Tongfu Inn was almost in front of him.

But she soon noticed that the door of Yihong Restaurant was opened, and a few coolies were moving out everything inside.

Sai Diaochan and Xiaocui were directing.

Li Xin, Bai Zhantang and others were all watching the excitement outside the entrance of Tongfu Inn.

"What's the matter?"

Tong Xiangyu asked after approaching.

"I'm going bankrupt. I'm going to sell all my valuables. Otherwise, if I don't pay my debts, I'll be sued in court."

Bai Zhantang Road.

"What about the restaurant?"

Tong Xiangyu asked.

"Bought by Brother Li, and the Sanjin mansion in the back, all the houses and land belonged to him. The procedures were complete, and it cost a full 3000 taels of silver!"

Bai Zhantang stretched out three fingers and shook them.

"To be precise, it's three thousand five taels."

Li Xin took up the conversation with a smile.

To be more precise, not only the procedures for the restaurant and the house have been completed, but also the identities and household registrations of himself and Qingwen have been completed.

All the relevant certificates are kept in his space, in a drawer of the cabinet under the TV in the living room.

Absolutely foolproof.

"Yo, so that means we will be neighbors across the door from now on?"

Tong Xiangyu was surprised at first, and then asked slightly worried: "Mr. Li, are you also interested in opening a restaurant?"

This question also reminded others.

They all looked at Li Xin.

"Hehe, don't worry, shopkeeper Tong, I mainly want to buy that house. I bought the restaurant together, just to make it easier to go out and go to the street, so as not to have to go through the alley on the side."

"After the restaurant is bought, I don't plan to compete with shopkeeper Tong for customers. I will do other business."

Li Xin smiled and truthfully stated his thoughts.

On the surface, since he sold the pair of glazed beads, he has been sitting on nothing.

In order to deceive people and avoid suspicion, there must always be a source of income.

Hearing him say that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for Da Zui who just had a slightly crooked thought and a flash of disappointment, everyone smiled.

"Oh! As expected of a good brother, don't say anything!"

Bai Zhantang himself doesn't care, but is mainly nervous for Tong Xiangyu.

"Enough loyalty!"

Guo Furong also added a little favor to Li Xin.

She had already put everything she had on the lobby table.

Come back to watch the fun.

At this time, a man and a woman just happened to come here, as if they were here for dinner.

"Master Chen, you and your wife haven't been here for a long time."

Tong Xiangyu hurried up to meet him.

Everyone also let the door open.

"It's too bad to eat here! It's a pity that Yihong Restaurant is closed, so I have to come to your place."

As Mr. Chen said, he walked into the lobby with his wife.

What he said was unpalatable must be an exaggeration, and he still has a lot of culinary skills.

Moreover, the price of meals is relatively cheap, and it can also be billed.

In short, Tongfu Inn has its advantages, otherwise Mr. Chen would not come to visit.

"Zhantang! Hurry up and entertain Mr. Chen!"

"Big mouth, go to the kitchen and prepare to fire!"

"Xiucai go to the counter and wait!"

"Xiao Guo, first find Xiaomi and give him the clothes! Then come back to work, and deduct wages if you come back late!"

The inn finally reopened, and Tong Xiangyu returned to his former ability.

Sai Diaochan noticed the commotion here, came over and said, "Shopkeeper Tong, I'm not as good as you in terms of business ability, it's because I am so ambitious, I lost this time, but one day I will make a comeback!"

"Start again!"

Xiao Cui repeated from the side.

"Okay, let's start again, then I wish you all the best. I'll go first, you can do whatever you want."

Tong Xiangyu smiled perfunctorily and walked into the inn.

Sai Diaochan felt that she was underestimated, she gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

She has suffered a crushing defeat and has no capital to fight Tong Xiangyu anymore.

"Then what, just move your things away, don't leave them to me, but don't ruin the restaurant and the house itself, I will report to the Yamen if there is a brick missing."

After Li Xin finished speaking, he also entered the inn with Qingwen.

……

In the next two days, after Sai Diaochan moved everything away, Li Xin, through Aunt Cai's introduction, hired a few women to clean up the restaurant and the house.

Later, he declined Aunt Cai's request to introduce the staffing that a big house should have such as maids, cooks, and housekeepers.

Because Aunt Cai's introductions were all related to employment, Li Xin was not at ease.

He would rather go to the dentist to buy people.

He has the absolute right to dispose of the person who bought it, and he can beat and scold him as he likes, and the government has nothing to do with it.

Therefore, you must not dare to disobey him, and the chance of giving birth to a second heart is relatively much smaller.

But there is nothing he likes about the tooth shop for the time being.

He doesn't need many people, but he must be pleasing to the eye.

The buyer had no choice but to shelve it, and he planned to recruit two people for short-term use.

So a recruitment notice was posted outside the restaurant.

But he didn't expect that the notice would surprise him early the next morning.

A thin, handsome young man of medium build came to apply for the job.

He seemed a little dull on the surface, but in fact, his eyes contained a melancholy and restrained temperament.

The most striking thing is that one of his sleeves is empty.
