Chapter 71 Qingxifang
On the road.
The boy was leading the way with his head down.
Lu Fang followed with Zhu'er and asked, "Do you know how the business in Qingxifang is going these days?"
The boy quickly stopped and turned around: "Sir, I heard that Qingxifang will be gone soon."
"oh?"
Lu Fang pretended to be surprised, "What's going on?"
He walked to the boy and walked side by side.
The boy walked and said: "I heard that starting from the end of last year, the young master of Qingxi Fang became addicted to gambling. He secretly lost all his family property. In order to raise gambling funds, he even secretly went to their house.
Add water to the Qingxi brew."
"Later, people from several restaurants and inns came to visit. Their old boss had to sell a lot of things at home to compensate for the money, and the workers also dispersed. But the young boss's bad habits did not change. Just a few days ago, he even
Someone from a gambling stall came to their family to collect debts, saying that they had beaten up their young boss's family. In the past few days, their old boss had announced that they were selling the house and wine shop, and planned to return to the countryside.
"
Lu Fang nodded lightly.
With such a weirdo in the house, it’s hard not to let it go away!
In the past, it was fortunate that the Luliang family had a great business, otherwise, they would have been completely defeated by the unlucky guy.
But this also made him realize that this was an excellent opportunity to pick up the slack.
Then he asked the boy, "Do you know if anyone has visited their house and wine shop in the past few days?"
The young man said: "Young master, please forgive me, this young man doesn't know."
Lu Fang asked no more questions.
Following the boy, he turned from the main street into the alley behind the house, and then walked through the alley for a long time.
Finally I saw the signboard of Qingxifang.
In fact, it is just a canvas-like flag hanging at the gate.
Of course, there is also a wooden plaque hanging above the main entrance, which does not look so shabby.
Obviously, Qingxifang's business was really good in the past.
"Master Lu, this is it."
The boy said to Lu Fang, and then shouted inside: "Is Mr. He at home?"
"Here!"
There was a reply from inside.
Lu Fang turned his head to look at the boy, and took out a few pieces of silver from his purse, "Okay, you go back, thank you for your hard work."
He didn't want this boy to see what happened next.
The boys in brothels and restaurants are the ones who can't keep their mouth shut, but he still wants to make a name for himself with new wine.
The boy's eyes shone brightly, but he finally said: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
He dares to accept rewards from some people, but not from others.
Mainly because Lu Fang's previous actions still left a shadow in his heart.
The unlucky man had done such a nasty thing before. He went to the Zuihua Building to reward the young man with money, and then when the young man was about to take the money, he slapped the young man in the face and said, "I'll give you some face, my young master."
Reward you, you really dare to ask for it!"
Even if the unlucky guy was in a bad mood that day, he really wasn't such a bully.
Lu Fang was too lazy to say anything more and put the broken silver into the boy's hand. "Go back!"
The boy stared blankly.
Then he walked back step by step, walked dozens of meters, and then ran away.
Zhu'er looked at it, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Young master, you are so scary when you give me a reward."
Lu Fang touched his nose and felt helpless.
Isn’t it all the fault of the unlucky guy in the past?
The door was opened.
An old man with gray hair on his temples showed his head and saw Lu Fang, who was dressed in rich and jade robes. He was slightly stunned and said, "Is it the young master calling me?"
Lu Fang nodded, "Are you the owner of Qingxi Fang?"
The old man's face actually looked like he was in his fifties, but he had a sad expression that could not be concealed. He nodded and said, "That's right, old man. Haven't you asked Mr. Gao about his surname?"
"Lu Fang."
Lu Fangdao.
The old club's eyes showed surprise.
There may not be many people in Ningyuan County who have met Lu Fang, but probably all of them know his name.
After coming back to his senses, his old boss said: "It turns out that Mr. Lu is here. I'm sorry that I missed you from afar. Please forgive me."
After saying that, he asked again: "I wonder why the young master came here?"
There was a hint of worry in his eyes.
He also heard that Lu Fang has changed a lot recently and his poetic talent is unparalleled, but this does not mean that Lu Fang's nature has changed.
The image of the unlucky guy was deeply ingrained in the past, and almost nothing good happened to anyone associated with him.
Nowadays, people in Ningyuan County just see Lu Fang calm down these days and no longer say bad things about him. But in their hearts, not many people are really sure that Lu Fang has changed his ways.
Lu Fang didn't care about this and said: "I heard that you want to sell this wine shop, so I came here to take a look."
The old club was even more worried, fearing that Lu Fang would come to add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation.
But Lu Fang was not someone he could afford to offend. He sighed quietly, "If you sincerely want to buy it, please come in and talk."
He opened the door.
Lu Fang walked in with Zhu'er.
Once inside, you can still faintly smell the aroma of wine.
Lu Fang said: "Just take me to see the place where you brew wine!"
The old boss was slightly stunned and said hesitantly: "Master, don't you want to ask about the price first?"
Lu Fang waved his hand and said: "Let's take a look first. I may not like this wine shop of yours!"
The old boss sighed in his heart again, and then led Lu Fang to the back, "Master, please come with me..."
The craft of brewing wine was inherited from his ancestors. The business in Qingxifang used to be quite good, and his family was also a wealthy family. If it weren't for his unfortunate family background, he wouldn't have sold off all his ancestral property.
Go past the arch on the right side of the patio and you will find the winery.
Lu Fang glanced over it.
The place where Qingxifang makes wine is very large, occupying about three-quarters of the entire house. It is covered with oilcloth to protect it from rain, and the tools for making wine are still there. Looking at the shovels, gourds and other things scattered on the ground, you can imagine Qingxi
The collapse of the square did come suddenly.
Generally speaking, he was quite satisfied.
You just need to add a wine steaming room, and don’t make any other changes.
After taking a brief look at it, I asked my old boss, "How do you plan to sell this wine shop?"
The old owner replied: "Sell the entire house and its contents together... for three hundred taels."
This price is definitely a bargain.
Although the shop facing the street that Lu Fang bought before was only 200 taels, the area of that shop was far from comparable to this one. In addition, there are all the equipment for brewing wine, which is still a valuable thing.
.And the old boss also said that even the things in the house would be included.
Even though there is definitely nothing valuable, not counting these, it is estimated to be worth the price of four hundred taels.
“The price is no problem.”
Lu Fang was also unambiguous and did not intend to add insult to injury, saying: "But I bought your winery to do business. If I buy your winery, it will be difficult for me to run it in a short time. Otherwise, I will press
I will buy your wine shop at this price, and then I will leave this house for you to live in. You can stay here and be a shopkeeper for me, and I will give you a salary of five taels of silver every month. How about that?"
The old boss was stunned and then hesitated.
