Chapter 259

When Hua Yunfei entered the city, Ye Xiaotian, Li Yuncong, and Law Tycoon were walking towards Cross Street. Law Tycoon bragged to Ye Xiaotian, "Big Brother, after we parted ways yesterday, I went to Cross Street and found a good shop. Shall we go there to take a look?"

Ye Xiaotian was surprised. He did not expect a muddle-headed person like Law Tycoon to be so hardworking when it comes to business. Ye Xiaotian praised him, "Good job! If your father knows that you are so hardworking, he will be very happy. "

Law Tycoon pouted, "Don't mention him. When I returned home yesterday, I heard my father instructing his servants not to tell him anything about me doing business outside for the next month."

Ye Xiaotian asked curiously, "Your father is so concerned about your future. Why did he not ask about it this time?"

Law Tycoon said, "My father said that he is worried that after hearing about me, he will either rush over and beat me to death, or he will be angered to death by me. No matter if it is him or me who dies, let's talk about it after this month."

Ye Xiaotian, "…"

Li Yuncong praised, "No one knows a son better than a father!"

Ye Xiaotian coughed and said, "Seems like your father does not have high hopes for you. Since that is the case, you should be more hardworking and do something big to surprise your father."

Law Tycoon said proudly, "Of course!"

Ye Xiaotian said, "Tell me, what's so good about this shop that you searched yesterday? The location, the popularity, or …"

Luo Daheng said, "Yesterday I was strolling along the Cross Street, suddenly I saw a shop, there were only mother and daughter, two people. That girl was as round as a pearl and smooth as jade, she was pretty and lively, indescribably lovely. I was thinking, if I could do business with her, we would have to lower our heads and see each other all the time, how comfortable that would be. A peaceful family will prosper, and doing business is the same. So, I bought the shop next to theirs. "

Ye Xiaotian, "…"

Li Yuncong, "…"

Law Tycoon felt that there was no movement behind him. He looked back and saw the strange look on both of their faces. He explained, "The shop next to theirs is quite deserted. There are no customers at all. I was thinking that in a place like Cross Street, only a shop with poor business will be sold. If I manage it well, he might not make money, but I might not. "

Ye Xiaotian said, "Hmm, sounds reasonable. But … since you have already chosen the location, why are you looking for me?"

Law Tycoon said, "I have not made up my mind yet. Can you give me some advice? If you think it is not suitable, I will sell it. Besides, I am about to open, shouldn't I inform my neighbors first? It would be quite embarrassing for me to go alone. You are my big brother, so of course you have to accompany me. "

Ye Xiaotian said helplessly, "Fine! So … what are you planning to sell? Do you have any ideas? "

Law Tycoon said, "I plan to open a grocery shop. I will sell all sorts of things. Didn't my father say that I don't have to think too much about selling these things? As long as the items are complete, people will come and buy them. "

Ye Xiaotian nodded and thought to himself, "That's not too ridiculous. In that case, this shop can still be kept open."

Law Tycoon suddenly pointed in front and said happily, "We are here! Big Brother, look! "

Ye Xiaotian lifted his head to take a look and saw a general goods store. On the sign, there were four crooked words, "Niuniu's General Goods Store". The door was open, and there were brooms, wooden shovels, buckets, iron bars and the like standing there. Ye Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise, "You moved so fast, the goods are all ready, this … you're going to open now?"

Law Tycoon laughed, "Big Brother, you are mistaken. This is not my shop. My shop is right next to it. Look! "

Ye Xiaotian turned around and saw that there was indeed another shop that was about the same size as this grocery shop. The door was guarded by an iron general and it was cold and cheerless. Ye Xiaotian was a little confused. He looked at the closed door and then at this grocery shop. He couldn't help but ask, "Tycoon, what did you say you were going to open?"

Tycoon said excitedly, "A grocery shop!"

Ye Xiaotian pointed at the grocery shop that was open and said, "A grocery shop next to a grocery shop?"

Tycoon said confidently, "Yes!"

Ye Xiaotian turned around and looked at Li Yuncong. Both of them were a little dizzy. Tycoon had already walked towards the "Niuniu" grocery shop. He turned around and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Big Brother, hurry up. This is the neighbor that I told you about."

Li Yuncong smiled bitterly and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Big Brother, is he here to open a shop or chase after a woman?"

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and sighed, "I am only afraid that he won't be able to open his shop and chase after her."

The grocery shop was not too small. In fact, it was a little disadvantageous to open a grocery shop in a bustling place like the Cross Street. However, if the owner did not have the capital, then he could only open a grocery shop. The cost of doing a big business was also high. People with a weak foundation could not afford it. The grocery shop was very messy and things were piled up everywhere. Law Tycoon turned sideways and walked through the narrow aisle. He called out, "Aunty Pei, how are you?"

Sitting in the corner was an old lady who was over 50 years old. When she saw someone enter, she smiled and was about to stand up to welcome him. However, when she saw that it was Tycoon, she sat back down and said unhappily, "I was wondering who it was. So it is Shopkeeper Luo who is planning to open a grocery shop next to my house. I say, Shopkeeper Luo, why are you so free? Why don't you do business? Why do you keep coming to my house? "

Law Tycoon rubbed his hands and smiled apologetically, "Didn't I come to learn from you? When it comes to opening a shop, Aunty, you are more experienced than me."

As Law Tycoon spoke, he looked around, probably looking for the lady. Unfortunately, there was no one else in the shop other than the old lady. There was a door curtain hanging in the other corner. Behind it was probably the mother and daughter's living quarters. At this moment, he heard a clear girl's voice from behind the door curtain, "Mother, are we eating dumplings for lunch?"

The Aunty replied, "Yes! I have even bought fennel. Didn't you see it? "

The lady in the house replied, "I saw it. Why else would I ask you? Mother, your waist is twisted. Just sit there and don't move. I will serve you well today. I will mix the stuffing and noodles. "

The Aunty beamed, "Oh! Look at how filial my daughter is. Niuniu, do you know how to make noodles? You haven't done it before. "

Niuniu replied, "Sigh, who doesn't know how to make noodles? Mother, just watch!"

As the mother and daughter talked to each other, Law Tycoon carried his school bag and stood there, fascinated by the conversation. Ye Xiaotian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He coughed and said, "Tycoon, you have already greeted Aunty. Let's go back to our shop."

Tycoon hurriedly said, "No, no, no. I still have something to discuss with Aunty."

After Tycoon finished speaking, he pulled over a stool and sat down. He said to the old lady, "Aunty, I have something to discuss with you. Look, you open a grocery store, I will also open a grocery store. I have just learned how to do business and don't know where to get my goods. How about this, I will get my goods from your house?"

Ye Xiaotian and Li Yuncong's eyes almost popped out. Opening a grocery store next to a grocery store, getting his goods from the grocery store next door. This … there was actually such a prodigal in this world! The woman seemed to be stunned as well. She was stunned for a long time before she said unhappily, "Shopkeeper Luo, are you teasing this old woman?"

Law Tycoon hurriedly said, "No, I am very serious. Look, you sell groceries, I also sell groceries. Isn't it convenient to get my goods from your house? How about this, you make a list of what your house sells. Give me a copy of it. I will also sell. I will pay the deposit now. Is that sincere? "

As Law Tycoon spoke, he took out two silver ingots from his school bag, each weighing fifty taels, and pushed them towards the old lady. Everything in the grocery store added up was not even worth fifty taels of silver. The old lady was momentarily stunned by the two silver ingots. Only then did the old lady believe … this Shopkeeper Luo was really a little simple-minded.

Shopkeeper Luo was simple-minded, but his friends wouldn't be simple-minded too, right? The old lady looked worriedly at Ye Xiaotian and Li Yuncong. Seeing that the two of them were amused but had no intention of stopping him, she understood in her heart. These two friends of his were probably not close enough to interfere in his family's business.

The old lady rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, then I will make a list for you. If it is okay, then we will settle on this."

Although this old lady opened a grocery store, she actually knew a few words. She immediately took out a piece of charcoal and quickly wrote on a piece of paper. When she finished writing, Law Tycoon took a look. Although there were many mistakes, he could still understand it. He immediately nodded his head.

"Wait!"

Ye Xiaotian couldn't just watch Law Tycoon suffer a loss, so he squeezed through the narrow path and stood beside Law Tycoon. He lowered his head and looked at the list. He immediately flew into a rage and said, "Shopkeeper, you want eighty copper coins for a clay pot? Not to mention the purchase price, even the selling price is eight to ten copper coins. Do you think my brother is an idiot? "

Law Tycoon blankly asked, "Big Brother, is it very expensive?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "This isn't expensive, this is daylight robbery!"

"What?"

Law Tycoon also became angry when he heard this. "I say, Shopkeeper, you are not being honest."

Seeing that her trick was seen through, the old lady's face immediately darkened. She said, "If I am not being honest, are you saying that you are being honest? My family has a grocery store, but you insist on opening a grocery store next to mine. Is there such a way to steal business? I run a small business and barely make ends meet. You are bullying us orphans and widows. "

Law Tycoon said angrily, "Doing business depends on one's ability. If the customer wants to go to your house, I can't forcefully pull them over … …"

The two of them exchanged words. Law Tycoon was no match for this old lady. After being scolded by her, his fat face turned the color of a pig's liver. He angrily took out two silver ingots from his school bag and slammed them on the table. He said, "I am definitely going to open this store. If you don't supply me with goods, I will take over your store!"

The old lady was stunned when she heard this. Everything in this store added up was not even worth ten taels of silver. However, this store was located in a prime location, so it was very valuable. It was worth about one hundred and fifty taels. Adding these goods, it was around one hundred and sixty taels. Law Tycoon took out two hundred taels of silver. It was more than enough.

However, this location was good. Under normal circumstances, she would not sell the store. However, it was different now. This Luo guy was clearly a hooligan. Furthermore, he was a rich hooligan. She could not afford to compete with such a hooligan for business!

If both of them were to open a grocery store next to each other, they would definitely lose money. Since that was the case, she might as well take over the store. This way, she could earn a sum of money and avoid a lose-lose situation in the upcoming business war. The mother and daughter took this sum of money and changed locations to open a grocery store. They could even save a lot of money.

Thinking of this, the old lady did not hesitate. She snatched the silver ingots and said, "Fine! Let's set up the contract! "

The two of them angrily started to set up the contract to take over the store. Ye Xiaotian and Li Yuncong were once again tongue-tied. "Didn't they agree to supply the goods from the previous store? Why did they buy the store when they couldn't agree on the price? Is this how you do business … … "

While the two of them were in a daze, the old lady and the tycoon had already set up the contract.

The old lady kept the contract and the silver ingots. She shouted at the back, "Niuniu! Niuniu! "

The old lady called a few times. The door curtain was lifted and a lady walked out from the back. Her face was like the full moon, smooth like jade and round like pearls. She was born with good fortune. Her facial features were charming, especially her slender waist and round buttocks. She looked very fertile. Ye Xiaotian looked at the tycoon and thought, "This guy has good taste."

The old lady said, "Niuniu, how's the dumplings coming along? If you haven't done it, let's not make them … …"

Niuniu twisted the dough in her hand and said shyly, "Mother, how about … … we eat steamed buns for lunch."

The old lady asked curiously, "We've already bought the fillings for the dumplings. Why are we eating steamed buns?"

Niuniu said shyly, "I put … … too much water, so I put in some noodles. The noodles … … too much, so I put in some water again. The water … … too much. Cough, now, if I were to make dumplings, I'm afraid there would be half a pot of noodles left … …"

The old lady said angrily, "Alright, you don't have to go back and forth. There's a pig here. Even if you steam a pot of steamed buns, I'm afraid there won't be a single bite left. Leave it all for him. Let's pack up our things. I'm going to buy this shop. "

Niuniu was baffled, but seeing that her mother was still angry, she didn't dare to ask further. She quickly agreed and went back to pack up. Other than this shop, the mother and daughter had another place to stay, so there weren't many things in the shop. Very quickly, they packed two bags and left the shop.

At this moment, Law Tycoon seemed to have lost his temper. He watched the lady leave with a reluctant look on his face. Ye Xiaotian said, "Tycoon, if you really like her, then go and chase her boldly! I saw the way she looked at you just now. She seems to be interested in you. "

Law Tycoon rubbed his hands and said shyly, "Big Brother, if you keep coaxing me, will she like me?"

"I … … am tall and fat. She's petite and exquisite … …"

"What are you afraid of? It's okay if you're ugly, but what if she's blind?"

Li Yuncong: "… …"

Tycoon actually couldn't hear the ridicule in Ye Xiaotian's words. He said worriedly, "But … … but I've just pushed her away. If I still want her girl, won't that be too much … …"

Ye Xiaotian looked at this shabby shop that wasn't even worth 200 taels of silver. He sighed and said, "If I'm doing business, I also hope that you'll treat me a little too much."

Originally, if Law Tycoon wanted to open his shop, he would need at least three to five days to prepare. But he had bought over the shop and immediately opened for business. Ye Xiaotian was already sure that his shop would definitely close down in less than a month. Hong Baichuan's last hope would also be completely destroyed. But he couldn't do anything about this clown.

Seeing that they couldn't save this prodigal, Ye Xiaotian and Li Yuncong could only leave helplessly. Not long after they left, an old man walked in with his hands behind his back. Tycoon, who had just become the new shop owner, was very enthusiastic. He immediately went up and asked, "Uncle, what would you like to buy?"

That old man pointed at the shop that wasn't open and asked, "Why isn't the shop owner next door open for business today?"

Law Tycoon smiled and said, "Next door? I've already bought the shop next door. I'll reopen in two days. "

The old man was shocked and said, "You bought it? Sigh! What a loss, what a loss. I, Old Zhuo, have really miscalculated this time. "

Tycoon asked curiously, "I'm buying the shop. What are you losing, Uncle?"

Old Zhuo said, "I've always wanted to buy that shop. I was just hoping to lower the price. Therefore, I didn't give in. I didn't expect it to fall into your hands. Sigh, why didn't you attend to the reopening of the shop after buying it? Why did you come to this shop? "

Law Tycoon smiled and said, "I'm buying this shop too."

Old Zhuo stared at him with his eyes wide open and asked, "This shop's business isn't too bad. How much would it cost to buy this shop?"

Law Tycoon stretched out two fingers and said, "200 taels!"

The old man shook his head and said, "200 taels is a little too much. If I'm still short of 150 or 160 taels … "The old man suddenly thought of something when he said this. He sized up Law Tycoon and gave him a thumbs up and said," Brilliant! Really brilliant! Young man, you are a person who does big business! "

Law Tycoon wasn't ashamed and said without any modesty, "When I'm done with the reorganizing of this shop, I hope that Uncle can support me more."

The old man chuckled and shook his head as he walked out, "I've made a loss, I've made a loss …"

The old man shook his head and sighed as he walked out. A young man with a hunting bow and a short knife at his waist happened to appear outside the shop at this moment. He looked around coldly and entered Niuniu's Miscellaneous Goods Shop. He cupped his hands towards Law Tycoon and asked politely and calmly, "Excuse me. May I know how to get to Master Qi Mu's mansion?"
