Song Chen gave Cang Xiuxuan thirty taels of rent a month in one lump sum for three years.
The current deed of this restaurant is actually in the hands of Cang Xiuxuan. Cang Xiuxuan originally wanted to transfer it directly to Song Chen, but based on his understanding of Song Chen, he knew that Song Chen would not want it.
So he didn't reveal the matter, and Song Chen paid the rent according to the market price.
"Are you sure you want to rent it for three years?"
Cang Xiuxuan felt that this time was a bit long. Since she just wanted to bring down Piaoxiang Tower, she didn't need three years.
Song Chen nodded, "Yes, it will be rented for three years. Although I said the purpose of opening the restaurant is to bring down Piaoxiang House, the restaurant will still make money for me in the end. Besides, I spent so much on decoration and other things.
money, wouldn’t I be stupid if I didn’t earn this money back?”
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that if you rent it for three years, it would be a waste of rent. Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to buy this place?"
"Is the boss willing to sell?"
It is naturally best to buy it, which can be regarded as buying a property in the town, but in such a location, others are generally not willing to sell it.
"Of course I do."
Cang Xiuxuan smiled and responded to her, not to mention selling it, but even giving it away would make her happy.
"That's the best thing. How about you help me make an appointment with the boss, and I'll discuss the price with him. If it's suitable, I'll buy it. If the price is too high, I'll just rent it for three years."
By then, the restaurant's reputation has been established in three years, and there shouldn't be much difference if she changes her business to another location.
It just so happened that she could take this opportunity to look around the town to see if there were any other suitable places to buy it and make preparations early.
What Song Chen didn't expect was that as soon as she finished saying this, Cang Xiuxuan took two steps closer to her.
"It's better to choose a different date than to hit it. Let's talk today. Whatever price you think is right is the price."
Song Chen tilted his head and looked at him with narrowed eyes, "Does this restaurant belong to you?"
"It wasn't before, but it is now." Cang Xiuxuan originally didn't plan to tell her, but now that she had said it, it seemed like there was nothing to hide.
Song Chen chuckled twice, "You were always teasing me about my feelings."
Hearing this, Cang Xiu
Went to the county seat."
"Coercion and inducement?" Song Chen frowned and looked at him, "Are you sure it was just coercion and inducement? Don't let me open a restaurant and cause an unjust case."
Cang Xiuxuan looked at her angrily, "In your mind, am I just a playboy?"
Song Chen half-smiled, "Although it's not true, your style this time seems to be not much different."
Cang Xiu
Help them get their household registration completed as quickly as possible."
Going from the town to the county seat also requires re-registration. Cang Xiuxuan asked someone to go find the county magistrate, for no other reason than that he was afraid that the family would regret it.
After hearing what he said, Song Chen felt a little relieved.
"In other words, they have now settled in the county seat."
Cang Xiuxuan nodded, "They must be willing to go to the county seat if they can. Aren't these people all going to higher places?"
Song Chen agreed with this statement.
"Okay, that means you now have the deed of this house, so what is the market price you said?"
"Three thousand taels."
Three thousand taels, this price is neither low nor high.
It is indeed in line with the market price stated by Cang Xiuxuan.
"Then how much do you plan to buy me for?"
Cang Xiuxuan thought for a while, "If you think three thousand taels is too much, the one thousand taels you just gave me is almost enough."
From three thousand taels to one thousand taels, even before she started bargaining, Song Chen felt that she should be the first person in history who didn't have to worry about failing to negotiate the price.
"You bought three thousand taels from this place and then sold me one thousand taels. Then why didn't you just give it to me for free?"
Unexpectedly, Cang Xiuxuan looked at her and smiled bitterly, "I want to give it as a gift, but will you take it?"
"Definitely not."
"That's it, I'll give it to you for free, so I'll take your money. I think one thousand taels is just right. If you feel that you've treated me badly, just let me eat at your house for a few more years, and treat it like that.
I paid for the food."
According to Cang Xiuxuan's wishes, he wanted to stay at Song Chen's house for two more years. After two years, Song Chen would be old enough to have a haircut, and then he could abduct him back.
By that time they had their own home.
Then he can eat with her for the rest of his life.
Song Chen didn't know what he was thinking, "Our food is more delicious, right? If you go to our house to eat every day, aren't you afraid that your emperor father will find you running around?"
He himself had said before that the emperor's surveillance on him had not actually relaxed. He always made the emperor think that he was always at Zhuangzi or in the town.
Now I still talk about going to her house for dinner every day.
Cang Xiuxuan had been waiting for Song Chen to agree to him, but he didn't expect to get such an answer after waiting for a long time, and he choked.
"Since I'm going to get some money, I have my own way. You don't have to worry about me. Just answer or not."
This sounds like he has a little bit of a temper.
Song Chen also heard it.
"Tsk~ You are getting more and more short-tempered now. Have you forgotten that you are a prince? Do you still want your image?"
Cang Xiuxuan ignored her, turned around and walked a few steps forward with his back to her.
He muttered to himself, "What kind of image is not imageable? If you want image, you can still get the wife?"
Song Chen's hearing was good, but Cang Xiuxuan's words seemed to be for his own ears. Song Chen still couldn't hear them very clearly and only heard a few vague words.
What image.
And Madam and so on.
"It's not impossible for you to go to my house for dinner, but you have to think clearly. A little one will be born in our family in a few months. It's okay if you don't feel noisy to me then."
"Also, Master Li will move out and live by himself in a while. He will take my uncle with him. If I am not at home then, who will you talk to?"
When she was not at home before, he could still go to Mrs. Li or her uncle. When they all move out in the future, would it be possible for him to help take care of the children?
It is true that Cang Xiuxuan has not thought about this issue that Song Chen mentioned.
When she mentioned it now, he felt like it was really a problem.
"How about you go to my place?"
Song Chen's eyes twitched, "You are an idle prince now. I am not an idle person. I am so busy every day. You ask me to cook for you every day. Are you going too far? I would rather give you five thousand taels."
.”
"I'm not asking you to cook for me." Cang Xiuxuan was dumbfounded by her disgusted look.
"You need to eat anyway, and won't the construction of your house on the mountain start soon? Then, as long as you live on the mountain, you can go to my place to eat, and I will just find a cook."
"Are you sure you don't want me to cook?"
What he said later was really touching to Song Chen. Just like what she said herself, a child would be born in their family in a few months. She is not the kind of person who likes to make noise, otherwise she would not
I would like to find a space of my own in the mountains.
She and Song He are already so old, and it's a bit funny to think about having to face such a little one.
When she lives in the mountains in the future, it would be good to go to Cang Xiuxuan's place if she doesn't want to cook alone, but won't this mean that she just eats and drinks?
"Unless you want to do it yourself."
Cang Xiuxuan didn't speak so eloquently. After all, few people can match her craftsmanship. It's enjoyable to eat it once in a while.
"You would think so." How could Song Chen not know what he meant.
"I agreed to what you said. I also bought this place, but it's only three thousand taels, not one thousand taels. I can't let you lose, but I won't make any profit for you."
"If you can accept it, we will make a deal. If not, just do as I said before, I will just rent it for three years."
Now that the words have been said, there is nothing else Cang Xiuxuan should accept or not.
He directly stretched out his hand and said, "Then you can give me another two thousand taels."
"good."
Song Chen decisively took out two more banknotes, "Here you are, these are the banknotes that shopkeeper Cui gave me before. I didn't want to collect the banknotes, but he said that you are the one opening the bank now. I'm thinking of you."
He probably wouldn’t cheat me, so I asked him to give me most of the banknotes.”
"If you really don't want the money, I will ask Lao Cui to bring you the money directly from now on."
"That's not necessary. I just have part of the money in hand. But I think your decision to open a bank is absolutely right. If it really happens in troubled times, you will be the person least affected."
Because at that time, other people didn't recognize banknotes at all, they only recognized cash and gold. People who held these things naturally became popular.
But if it were someone else, he might not be able to defend it, but if this person is Cang Xiuxuan, this situation won't exist.
Little did they know that Song Chen's joke would actually become true later.
They waited here for a while, and the master arranged by Cang Xiuxuan came over. Song Chen communicated with the master about the things that needed attention in the decoration of the restaurant, and then Cang Xiuxuan sent Song Chen back.
When we arrived at Beiguan Village, it was still dark.
It's getting closer to summer and the days are getting longer.
"By the way, where can you find saltpeter?" Song Chen asked suddenly while looking at the setting sun on the horizon.
