“To think you came up with such a stupid idea.” Xu Maoping revealed a look of disdain again. “What if she didn’t drink it?”
“Then… then what would you do if it were you, Father?”
Xu Maoping said calmly, “What do you think Bai Xianyu would come in contact with every day?”
Yu Boquan thought for a moment. “Jewelry hair pins? Or dresses and tea?”
“Wrong, wrong, wrong!” Xu Maoping’s gaze was sinister. “It’s air.”
Yu Boquan was enlightened!
“Then can 1… follow my mother to her room and do something to her incense burner!” The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he would be able to marry Bai Xianyu soon.
“It would be even better if she also drinks the tonic with the added ingredients. With the both combined, even if an otherworldly fairy comes, she has to be obediently enjoyed by me!”
Xu Maoping instructed worriedly, “What medicine did you prepare?”
“Spring Breeze.”
“You have the cheek to even mention such a medicine that can be found everywhere?”
“What else is there?”
“Take it.” Xu Maoping took out a jade bottle.
Yu Boquan took it, opened the cork, and moved it away. Just as he glanced at the powder-like thing inside, Xu Maoping snatched it away and reprimanded, “What’s there to smell? This thing is very strong. Unless it succeeds, there’s no antidote.”
Yu Boquan was overjoyed. “Father, why do you have such good stuff with you?!”
“Hmph, 1’11 tell you when you succeed.”
Bai Xianyu arrived at the busiest street in Liang Province. There were wine shops everywhere and it was crowded.
It had become inconvenient to ride in a carriage.
She got out of the carriage and went to shop one by one.
“Miss, why do you want to buy a restaurant?” Green Pearl asked.
Bai Xianyu smiled. “For convenience.”
Green Pearl did not understand what she meant, and Bai Xianyu did not explain much.
Along the way, they entered many large restaurants to observe their layout, the number of dishes, and the number of customers. Finally, they chatted with the locals of Liang Province city and went to a restaurant called Fortune.
Not only was there a private room, but the dishes were also a consolidation of all kinds of famous dishes in the world. Bai Xianyu had seen many delicious delicacies and casually ordered a few higher-end dishes. It was rare that they were indeed good.
Green Pearl could not help but say, “Miss, the dishes in their restaurant are better than the ones in our capital.”
“Ehm.” Bai Xianyu immediately decided to buy it and called the waiter over.
The waiter asked curiously, “Miss, can you say that again?”
“I said i wanted to buy your restaurant.”
“Alright, Miss, please wait for a while. I’ll report to our shopkeeper now.”
Bai Xianyu nodded.
The supervisor came out very quickly. He looked at them in confusion. “Are you here to cause trouble?”
Bai Li took out a gold ingot from his sleeve.
The supervisor smiled. “Do you want to buy my restaurant with a mere ingot of gold? My restaurant earns a lot of money every day!”
Bai Xianyu smiled and said, “Of course it’s more than that. Although 1 want to buy your restaurant, it can also be considered a collaboration”
“A little girl like you wants to discuss a collaboration with me?”
Bai Li said coldly, “Don’t be rude!”
The supervisor was so frightened that he shut up resentfully.
Bai Xianyu was not offended. “It’s true that 1 want to let you manage the restaurant after 1 buy it, but my people will handle the accounts and expenses. It’s fine if you’re unwilling to cooperate. There are many people in the world who know how to manage it. I think the supervisor of the restaurant opposite you is not bad.”
The supervisor immediately retorted, “He doesn’t know how to do business like me!”
Bai Xianyu crossed her arms and said calmly, “Name a price then.”
The supervisor looked at Bai Xianyu suspiciously. He had never seen a liar so calm. If she was pretending, it was too real.
He quoted a price close to astronomical.
Bai Xianyu and the others looked at each other.
The shopkeeper glanced at them and said as expected, “This price is only twice the sum of all the profits I’ve made since my restaurant was established for more than twenty years. 1 think I can still run it for another few decades. If 1 sell it to you at a loss, why would I want it?”
“Sigh, are young people nowadays so arrogant?”
How could there be such a rich young lady in Liang Province city?
He sighed twice and walked back.
“Hold on.”
“Is there anything else?”
The shopkeeper turned around and saw the girl smiling in surprise. “Of course.”
The shopkeeper,””?”
He saw the eyes of the young maidservant lit up, “Miss, it’s so cheap!”
Then, the guard said, “It’s indeed unexpected. It seems that the prices of goods and land in Liang Province are lower than in the capital.”
Since Bai Xianyu had come here, she must have brought enough banknotes. With a look from her, Bai Li took them out.
The supervisor stared.
The denomination of each banknote was at ten thousand taels!
One piece was 10,000 taels!
This girl must be from a prestigious family!
Bai Li counted. When he was done, he placed the banknotes on the table.
The shopkeeper quickly counted and asked someone to check the authenticity.
About fifteen minutes, he returned with a shocked expression. “Miss, they… they’re all real!”
“Of course they’re real.” Bai Xianyu smiled. “Take this gold ingot as a greeting gift.”
The supervisor hurriedly nodded. He had no reason to disagree.
Even if he worked for another hundred years, he would not be able to earn so much money! He had to be constantly wary of others surpassing him.
“Then i’ll tell you what i think.”
Bai Xianyu glanced around. “This isn’t the only restaurant 1 am asking you to manage.”
“Perhaps one in Liang Province, two in Bian Province, and three in Qingzhou…” She paused. “If you manage them well, I can give you 10% of the profits in addition.”
“All, all the restaurants..”
