It's unnecessary, maybe I'm talking about Meng Qing herself.
But again, Meng Qing will probably want to bargain. When money is short, every penny is precious to her, and she has to spend it wisely.
But now that she still has the opportunity to buy this shop, she also needs a bicycle, so it is wise to seize the opportunity.
The shopkeeper of Yahang shook his head.
"What's wrong? The price has increased? How much money has it increased?" Meng Qing saw the dental shop manager just shaking his head and asked worriedly. If the price increased too much, she would have to bear the pain and give up.
"No, it hasn't increased, the price has dropped. The gentleman said that if it's sold to others, it won't be sold if it doesn't have three hundred taels. If it's sold to you, Mrs. Meng, it only takes this amount." As he said that, he raised a finger.
"One hundred taels!?" Meng Qing's voice suddenly became louder. At this price, to win this position and this size of shop, it was a real profit.
But the shopkeeper denied it again.
"It's not a hundred taels, it's one tael. As long as you have one tael of silver, this shop will be yours, Mrs. Meng."
One tael, such an unbelievable price was placed in front of Meng Qing. At this time, she no longer felt ecstasy, but deep vigilance.
She never believed that there was a free lunch in the world.
Moreover, the old man who was respectfully addressed as Mr. by the shopkeeper of the tooth shop was obviously very angry when he left just now. Why would he sell this shop to her at such an incredible price?
Meng Qing couldn't help but be vigilant about all this.
At this time, she was powerless in this era, like a duckweed without roots, and could not tolerate any negligence.
So when faced with temptation, Meng Qing's first reaction was to refuse and reject this sugar-coated bullet.
Seeing Meng Qing's refusal, the shopkeeper of Yahang said first, "Mrs. Meng, instead of refusing, why don't you listen to my opinion."
"The shopkeeper is very polite, please speak."
"Mrs. Meng, do you know who the gentleman just now is?"
"Please give me some advice from the shopkeeper." Judging from what happened just now, the old man is definitely not an ordinary person, so Meng Qing is still quite curious about his identity.
Ji Xi and the others also pricked up their ears. In their words, the old man looked very powerful.
"This gentleman is no one else. He is the old man who retired and returned to his hometown last year. He was once the minister, and the current emperor is the great master Xie Wei Xie." The words of the shopkeeper of Yahang were full of respect for the old man.
Ji Xi and the others all had expressions of amazement on their faces. Only Meng Qing, she was a time traveler, a time traveler less than a month old. She really didn't know who it was.
But her intuition told Meng Qing that she had to pretend.
So I also exclaimed.
Then there was some doubt.
"Thank you for your high status, sir. This matter of shop sales should be handled by servants. Why would you come here in person? This is not consistent with common sense."
"Originally, it is true that the old lady in the inner house should be in charge of the shop, and even the transactions should be handled by the housekeeper. But maybe because the buyer is Mrs. Meng, the boss came here in person."
The shopkeeper still remembered that when he went to Mr. Xie to plead guilty, Mr. Xie was very complicated in his heart.
"Because of me? Where do you start talking about this? The boss and I are obviously strangers."
This time Meng Qing's reaction was bigger, and she felt that she was even more unjust than Dou E.
"Someone else must have mentioned Ms. Meng to Mr. Lao, which aroused Mr. Lao's interest, so he made this trip himself." The shopkeeper of Yahang gave Meng Qing a vague hint.
Meng Qing thought about it carefully. During the conversation with Xie Wei, something suddenly caught Meng Qing's attention.
The old man seemed to have mentioned the way the refugees were dealt with before.
The case has been solved, and there is only one person in the entire Xiaotao County who can spread this word to the ears of Mr. Xie Wei, and that is the county magistrate Fang Hui.
"Does the shopkeeper know the relationship between the county magistrate and Mr. Xie? If it's inconvenient to answer, forget it." In order to prevent the shopkeeper of Yahang from being embarrassed, Meng Qing added.
"There is nothing difficult about this. Anyone with some connections knows that our county magistrate, Mr. Fang, is one of Mr. Xie's many disciples. Although he is only a disciple, Mr. Fang respects Mr. Xie very much.
Make sure you stay focused and work hard every day.
At the same time, she looked at Meng Qing with some envy. Being able to fall in the eyes of Mr. Xie Wei was a great blessing for Meng Qing. Unfortunately, Meng Qing is a woman. Otherwise, if she embarked on an official career, she would have
Kangzhuang Avenue.
"The reason why the price is so low, I guess, is to reward Madam Meng for your suggestions. Madam Meng can accept it with confidence."
"Thanks to the shopkeeper for clarifying my doubts. It's only one tael of silver. The little girl really can't accept it. I asked the shopkeeper to refuse it on my behalf. If the boss doesn't mind, the little girl will take advantage and is willing to spend a hundred taels of silver to buy it."
Everyone wants to take advantage of something like this, but Meng Qing doesn't want to take advantage of it. Besides, she can afford it, so why should others give it to her?
He also has his own purpose. Mr. Xie Wei followed what the shopkeeper of Yaxing just said.
She was a big shot who cared about the country and the people. She asked herself that she had not done anything big enough to deserve such a reward.
So the refusal was quite straightforward.
The shop was a good one and she still wanted to buy it.
So I still entrusted it to the shopkeeper of Yahang, after all, nothing bothered the two masters.
"Mrs. Meng, why are you doing this..." The shopkeeper of Yahang's expression became more and more complicated, and Mr. Xie really got it right.
"As the old man said, you will definitely not accept this gift. In his words, the gift of one tael of silver may not be a reward to you, but an insult."
"Fortunately, Mr. Boss also left other words. If you propose to trade with a hundred taels of silver, we will directly make a contract with you. After the transaction is completed, our Yahang will be fully responsible for the modification of the contract."
Meng Qing also didn't expect that the old man would calculate the development of the matter so accurately.
He couldn't help but curiously asked: "What if I accept the deal of one tael of silver?"
"The deal is naturally established, but this shop has completely bought out the work-for-relief method you proposed. Now, the boss has told me that you can visit him when you are free."
Meng Qing screamed cunning in her heart.
If she hadn't restrained her greed, she would have almost stepped into his trap.
If so, Fang Hui's evaluation of her would plummet. Meng Qing didn't dare to bet on the gap between her and Xie Wei's status in his heart.
Then her attempt to use the banner of the county government as her invisible backer will completely fail.
Without a backer, local capital like Shopkeeper Wang would probably eat her to pieces.
It's really dangerous.
From this point of view, she has passed the test of this old man.
