Feng Yi became interested and immediately squatted down and looked at the pillar carefully. The wood on the outside was chewed up, but some sand and gravel flowed out from the inside.
"Is there a secret passage here?" Song Yutong turned to look at the young master's house and asked.
After hearing Song Yutong's words, the young master was stunned for two seconds.
"Mrs. Cheng, this is just a shop, why is there a secret passage? Did you see something?"
The whole Shaodong family looked at a loss.
"To be honest, I took over this shop two years ago. The other party was eager to sell it and the price was not high. At that time, I also bought this shop in order to get a bargain and fool my brother at home."
"Unexpectedly, not long after I bought it, the shop began to be infested with insects and rats. I thought of many ways and asked many people to help deal with it, but it seemed like there was no end to the insects and rats."
When the young master said this, his face was full of sorrow.
Song Yutong saw that the young master really didn't know anything. If he took over this shop, he would probably suffer a big loss.
"Then if I want this shop, you can sell it to me. Zhongshu, I will find a way to solve it. If it can't be solved, I won't blame you. But as for the price..."
There is no need to say the rest of the words so carefully. The boss immediately understood what Song Yutong meant?
"We can talk, we can talk."
There would be no use in destroying this shop in his hands. It would be better to give it to Mrs. Cheng to recover some losses.
I'm not afraid even if I drop it in my hand, I guess I'm very wealthy.
Song Yutong asked his employer to prepare documents and land deeds first, then go to Jingzhao Mansion immediately and transfer the shop immediately.
Begging for money and goods.
The owner originally wanted to ask Song Yutong why he was willing to take over a shop full of insects and rats, but Song Yutong only said that he wanted to challenge whether he could find a way to get rid of rats and insects.
However, Song Yutong actually felt that there was something fishy about this shop.
There is no reason why so much food is hidden, and it is said that this shop originally sold ironware.
A shop selling ironware was suddenly transferred out. After renovation by the owner, it became clean and tidy, without so many black and gray marks.
Feng Yi and the deputy general were a little confused. Why were the brothers and sisters willing to take over such a troublesome shop?
After Song Yutong got the land deed and completely made the shop his own, he turned around and asked Cheng Hanyan to find a way to find the entrance to the secret passage of the shop.
Feng Yi suddenly became confused after hearing this.
Could it be that this shop really has a secret passage?
When Song Yutong just asked this question, Feng Yi thought she was overthinking it.
"Brother and sister, how did you know that there was a secret passage here?" Feng Yi's expression was a bit serious, and he looked at Song Yutong with a look of doubt in his eyes.
"My sense of smell is more sensitive than ordinary people, and I am very sensitive to the taste of food. There are so many insects and mice here because there is food hidden in every pillar of the whole shop. Maybe the food has been stored for a long time.
The moisture-proofing was not done well, causing the food to rot inside.”
Song Yutong had actually discovered the entrance to the secret passage as early as during the fluoroscopic scan.
It's just that the entrance seems to have been cast into an iron gate, completely sealing the entire secret passage.
So bugs and rats couldn't get in from other places, so they had to run around the entire shop, chewing up beams and pillars in an attempt to transport the food away.
As for why he didn't go underground, Song Yutong didn't know the reason.
"You also saw this pillar just now. An ordinary pillar is a whole pillar that has been chewed up, and it is full of wood and sawdust. But here there are actually lime and stone chips."
Song Yutong pointed at the wooden pillar just now, and Feng Yi and the deputy general saw it very clearly.
Of course I know what Song Yutong said is indeed right.
"The boss just said that this place was a huge blacksmith shop two years ago. General Feng, do you and the deputy general have any impressions of this place?"
After listening to Song Yutong's questions, Feng Yi and the deputy general couldn't answer for a while.
"Two years ago, I was guarding the border. Even when I came back, I never went out on the streets. I spent most of my time traveling between the military camp and my home."
When Feng Yi said this, he turned to look at the deputy general beside him, as if asking him if he had any impression.
The deputy general was also speechless: "General, don't look at me. I usually follow you around. Of course, if you don't know, I don't know either."
After hearing this, Song Yutong knew that asking these two people was of no use. She thought she should go out and get some information.
Doubts were doubts, but they didn't want answers. Song Yutong held the land deed in her hand and felt very happy.
But the amount of money she had to pay was less than half of what she expected, and the remaining half of the money could be used to decorate the restaurant.
It's just that this shop will have to be demolished from the very foundation. The secret passages underneath will also have to be filled in, and the food inside will have to be moved out.
It is also necessary to put a lot of pesticides into the foundation to kill the eggs that may be underground to prevent more insects from being born.
In this case, I'm afraid it would be time for her to give birth to the baby before the restaurant was finished.
Song Yutong counted the construction period on her fingers. She originally thought it could be completed within three months, but if a large number of insecticides were required to eliminate insect eggs and rat nests, it would take two months.
However, this way, it is still cost-effective.
She was given enough time to find the right people and train several chefs, each of whom would be responsible for one cuisine.
Find a few suitable waiters and waiters. These people can receive pre-job training within the specified time.
Turn Qianweiju in the capital into an affordable luxury restaurant, where everyone from wealthy businessmen to dignitaries will be happy to come here.
Song Yutong looked at the entire shop and thought about rebuilding it from the foundation.
Then, she had to think carefully about how to make this place suitable for both refined and popular tastes, attract a large number of diners, and turn Qianweiju in the capital into the number one restaurant in the capital.
Cheng Hanyan found the secret door made of iron, turned around and called Feng Yi and his deputy to go over and take a look.
The iron used to build the secret passage door does not look like ordinary iron, but like official iron.
"What major events happened in Beijing two years ago?" Cheng Hanyan's words were just a casual question, but he never thought to wake up Feng Yi and the deputy general.
"Brother Cheng, step aside and ask me to take a closer look."
The biggest difference between official iron and ordinary iron is that official iron has less impurities and is extremely hard, making it most suitable for use as weapons. Therefore, it is made from the best iron ore.
However, ordinary iron for civilian use has many impurities, but it does not affect the production of axes and iron pots. These ordinary irons are made from medium and low-grade iron ores.
People who handle weapons most often can recognize at a glance what good iron is, and can also distinguish the difference between official iron and ordinary iron.
Therefore, when Cheng Hanyan saw the iron door, he felt something was wrong.
