This was of course Hong Zhou. He couldn't laugh or cry after hearing what Xiao Wu said. However, in order to cooperate with Xianyue and the others, he could only order someone to find such a red dress and red shoes to lure Yu Shaofu to take the bait.
Hong Zhou looked him up and down, pretending to be arrogant and said: "Who are you? A good dog doesn't block the way, you know?"
Why are you putting on airs? There will be times when you cry in the future! Yu Shaofu cursed secretly in his heart and tried to force out a smile: "Sir, something happened in my family recently and I need money urgently, so I plan to sell the restaurant handed down from my ancestors.
It's for sale, I wonder if this gentleman is interested?"
"Restaurant?" Hong Zhou glanced at him and then said: "No interest, get out of the way!"
Yu Shaofu was a little reluctant to give up at first, but after hearing these words, he suddenly became anxious. Just as Hongli said, although money is good, it must be spent on life. The most important thing for him now is to save his life. Thinking like this,
He quickly stopped Hong Zhou and said, "No, Sir, please listen to me carefully before making a decision!"
Hong Zhou said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. Don't chatter here."
Yu Shaofu tried his best to hold his breath and said: "The restaurant's name is Mantingfang. It is one of the most famous restaurants in Zhengzhou. Many customers come to visit it every day. As long as you take over, you are guaranteed to make a fortune every day.
pay!"
Hong Zhou squinted his eyes and said, "If it's so good, why are you willing to sell it? You even come to this street to peddle, huh, I won't be fooled by you."
"Everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, you can go to my restaurant and have a look. I'm sure you'll be satisfied." As he said that, he pretended to be sad and said: "If someone in the family hadn't committed something and needed money urgently, what would I say?
I won’t sell this restaurant either.”
Ning Er, who was following Hong Zhou, came forward and said, "Sir, I've heard of that restaurant slave. It seems to be quite famous. How about... let's go and have a look?"
Yu Shaofu said quickly: "My restaurant is not far from here. Just keep walking forward and you will be there. I won't miss you much time."
"Okay then." Hong Zhou reluctantly agreed and followed Yu Shaofu to Mantingfang. Although it was past the busiest time, there were still many people inside. Yu Shaofu said somewhat proudly: "Look,
I'm not lying to you, this business is so good."
Hong Zhou went in and walked around, saying, "Well, it's really good. I'm a little tempted by it. Tell me, how much money do you want to sell it for?"
Along the way just now, Yu Shaofu had been thinking about how much price to ask. Although Hongli had previously advised him that his life was the most important thing and he could make money later, he always wanted to make more. According to the current market price of this restaurant, he could almost sell it.
To four thousand taels, if the price was lower than this, it would be a loss; besides, he saw that Hong Zhou was well-dressed and had an entourage, so he should not be short of money.
Seeing that he remained silent, Hong Zhou urged: "I want to ask you something, why didn't you say it again? If you are not sincere about selling this restaurant, don't waste my time."
"I was sincere at that time." Saying this, Yu Shaofu stretched out a hand and said, "That's the price!"
"Five thousand taels?" Hong Zhou sneered: "It's such a shabby restaurant, but you have the nerve to ask me for five thousand taels. Are you crazy about the money? I tell you, the most is two thousand taels, if you want it, take it, or else.
No, I don’t have much thought anyway. After buying it, I will have to spend a lot of money to decorate it again.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Shaofu suddenly became anxious, "Master, take a closer look at the people here. The business was even better just now. There is also the chef, but he was hired from the capital at a high price more than 20 years ago. He has been here all the time."
We cook it here, and no one who has tasted his food can say anything bad about it."
Hong Zhou waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't brag here. In short, the price is the same, two thousand taels. It's up to you whether to sell it or not."
Yu Shaofu gritted his teeth and said, "How about we each take a step back, how about four thousand taels? This price is already a loss."
Hong Zhou raised his chin and said, "Don't you understand what I said? Two thousand taels, you want to sell it or not, but I won't add a cent."
Yu Shaofu was angry and anxious. This country bumpkin from nowhere was simply seeing that he was eager to sell the restaurant, so he deliberately lowered the price. Two thousand taels was half cheaper than what was sold outside. It was simply a money grab.
Thinking of selling the restaurant at such a low price, Yu Shaofu felt a heartache and couldn't bear to part with it. However, if he didn't sell it, it would be too late to cry if he suffered a disaster.
When Yu Shaofu was hesitant, Ning Er whispered in Hong Zhou's ear: "Fifth Master, you have lowered the price so low. What if he refuses to sell? Do you want to add more?"
"No need!" Hong Zhou responded briefly and urged Yu Shaofu: "How about it, have you thought about it?"
Yu Shaofu was cruel, then cruel again, and said: "Okay! I'll sell it!"
"Okay!" Hong Zhou clapped his hands and said, "In this case, let's go in and sign the contract, so as not to say anything without proof!"
Yu Shaofu nodded and took him to a quiet room behind the restaurant. Wang Zhangfang brought up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down the sales contract according to Yu Shaofu's words, and then handed it to Hong Zhou, who signed his name with a pen.
He handed it to Yu Shaofu and said, "Okay, it's your turn!"
Yu Shaofu took the pen with a gloomy expression on his face. This signing was a sure thing and he could not regret it again.
Seeing him like this, Hong Zhou asked: "What's wrong? You can't bear to leave anymore?"
"No." Yu Shaofu forced out a smile that was even uglier than crying, and signed his name on the contract with blood dripping from his heart. At the same time, he kept cursing Hong Zhou secretly in his heart, hoping that he would soon fulfill his oath to spend money and kill people.
Only in this way can he try to buy Man Tingfang back.
After signing the contract, Yu Shaofu handed the land deed to Hong Zhou. After the latter ordered Ning Er to take out two thousand taels of silver notes and give it to him, he dusted the land deed on his hand and said, "Okay, Boss Yu, let's go
The money has been cleared, so please pack your things and leave Mantingfang."
"Okay!" After Yu Shaofu packed Xinruan in the baggage, he thought of going upstairs to say hello to Xianyue and the others. Unexpectedly, when he went up, he saw Hong Zhou, who had just bought his restaurant, sitting at the table talking.
It seems familiar.
Strange, how could they talk to each other? Could it be...
Thinking of this, Yu Shaofu's expression suddenly changed, he rushed over and grabbed Hong Zhou's clothes, gritted his teeth and said, "You know them, right?"
Hong Zhou pulled his hand away and said with a smile: "These two are my fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law. How could we not know each other? Boss Yu's question is really strange." Before Yu Shaofu could speak, he added: "
I almost forgot, you have sold Man Tingfang, so I can no longer call you Boss Yu."
