Chapter 46 Bargaining
Yingxue jumped up suddenly when she heard this, and almost knocked over Mrs. Gu's teacup, "Madam, I must study hard and change all my bad habits."

"You, you have a frizzy temper, you have to learn to be more stable in the future." Mrs. Gu said helplessly.

The two chatted happily. Mrs. Gu told Fang Qingluo some of her experiences in the west, while Fang Qingluo told a few adapted jokes. The chat reached lunch time, and Mrs. Gu ordered the dish again. When she came up, she shared a table with Fang Qingluo, and set a table for the maids.

After the meal, Fang Qingluo mentioned that there was still work to be done, Madam Gu didn't stay, and told Fang Qingluo her address, and asked Fang Qingluo to visit her when she was free in a few days.

Out of the restaurant, Fang Qingluo asked Ruizhu, "Where shall we go to see the shop first?" After asking for a long while, she didn't hear Ruizhu's reply, and then she realized that Ruizhu didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't even hear her question. talk.

Ruizhu is prudent in her work, and she has never been distracted like this before. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you, Ruizhu? What's the matter?"

Ruizhu looked around, then lowered his voice and said to Fang Qingluo: "Princess, the identity of that woman just now is not simple, I suspect she is Princess An!"

"What?" Fang Qingluo and Shao Yao were shocked, Fang Qingluo frowned, and asked, "You are not sure? Have you never met Princess An in the palace before?"

Ruizhu shook his head, "Princess An Guo went to guard the frontier with her son-in-law after she got married, and she didn't return to the capital for many years, so I haven't seen her face. Before I left the palace, I heard that Princess An Guo The son-in-law who died of illness has been mourning for three years, and it is estimated that he will return to Beijing soon, and the son-in-law is surnamed Gu, and the Yanmen Pass he guards is to the west."

"Before you didn't let me talk about that maid, did you see something?" Fang Qingluo asked.

"That's not true. I saw the Yuluomen's jade plaque tied around the maid's waist. Yuluomen is from the Jianghu sect. I think she is from the Jianghu sect. We'd better not provoke her. If we do something, we can't do it." Good." Ruizhu replied.

Fang Qingluo nodded, the people around the queen are well-informed, look, they even know the jade cards of the Jianghu sect, she, an outsider, is like a backward earth leopard, she doesn't know anything, it seems that the road is still there very long.

"I don't know if Princess Anguo knows my identity? Or if she made friends with me on purpose." Fang Qingluo felt uncomfortable. She had a good impression of Mrs. Gu, and it was rare to see such a hearty lady in ancient times. Girl, but if the other party is approaching intentionally, then it feels wrong.

"Probably not. I heard that An Guochang Princess doesn't like to enter the palace the most, so she went far away with the son-in-law back then. She doesn't necessarily know about you, and she is unlikely to recognize you. Besides, doesn't she I'm not sure about the real Princess An, Princess, just pretend you don't know about it, if my guess is right, maybe she will tell you the next time we meet."

Ruizhu paused at this point, and then said: "I heard that Princess Anguo has a bright personality, but she is quite similar to Mrs. Gu, and she has a noble status. It is also a good thing for the princess to befriend her."

"Then why are you frowning?" If she couldn't discover this, her professional training in her previous life would be for nothing.

"Some people also say that An Guochang Princess is moody. I'm afraid that if the princess accidentally annoys her, she will be in trouble." Ruizhu replied.

"I see, but don't worry about it. I think Mrs. Gu is the Princess An, but she has a straightforward personality and is not a stingy person. She shouldn't blame others at will. Just look at her attitude towards Yingxue. gone."

After the matter was settled, Ruizhu returned to normal, and took Fang Qingluo to see several shops. Fang Qingluo was most optimistic about three of them. Unfortunately, when asked about the price, it turned out to be the most expensive among them, and Shaoyao boasted She has a good eye, but she calculated that the money in her hand was enough to buy two shops. Every inch of land in this capital is really precious!
However, this price can continue to be negotiated, and it is best to be less, and no one wants to waste money.Fang Qingluo is most optimistic about one of the restaurants. The location of the restaurant is very good, there are many people coming and going, and the transportation is also convenient.

As long as such a shop is put on the market, whether it is kept for business or rented out to collect rent, it is very good to make money, so Fang Qingluo plans to talk to this shop first.

"Princess, I found out everything. The owner of this restaurant is surnamed Zhang. The south of his hometown is quite far from the capital. His restaurant has a good business. It's just that his father passed away a few days ago, and he rushed back to his hometown to observe his filial piety. The boss Zhang is a dutiful son. He has to be a filial piety for his father for three years. In addition, he has earned almost the same amount of money in the capital these years. He thought about making a living in his hometown in the future and taking care of his elderly mother, so he decided They sold the shop." Rui Zhu said.

Fang Qingluo nodded. If it wasn't for an urgent matter to leave Beijing for a long time, most people would not be willing to sell such a good berth.

"Okay, let's talk to Boss Zhang first to see if the price can be negotiated. He is in a hurry to leave Beijing at this time, and the price is definitely not in vain, and there is no time to talk for too long. If we are sincere Come on, the deal is quicker, he may be able to make some more."

"The princess is right, let's try it."

Ruizhu led the way, and the three master and servant went straight to Fuxian Restaurant, where they met Boss Zhang.He is a short and fat man in his 30s, a little fat, with a protruding belly, but he is not in good spirits, he is dressed in black, his eyes are a little swollen, and there are red bloodshot eyes, but he seems to be in a bad mood .

"Ms. Zhang is late. I'm really sorry to keep the lady waiting." Boss Zhang said politely, and then asked: "Miss Fang wants to sell my shop. Do you already know the price?"

"My maid has already inquired clearly, you offer 300 taels of silver." Fang Qingluo said.

"What do you think of Ms. Fang? Are you interested in taking over?" Seeing that Fang Qingluo was still young, the shopkeeper didn't underestimate her casually. Instead, Fang Qingluo had a good impression of her and praised him secretly.

Fang Qingluo said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I recently wanted to open a shop to earn some private money. I have inquired about almost all the shops in the capital, and I know the prices roughly. Boss Zhang's price is very affordable, so I was the first one to come to you." She changed the subject, "It's just that my money is limited after all, if Boss Zhang is willing to give up some more, things will be easier."

Boss Zhang frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "This price is really hard to beat, and I'm not willing to sell it no matter how low it is."

"I've heard everything about Boss Zhang's family, and I admire Boss Zhang's character. If you can give me some more, I promise to complete the formalities and pay you within three days, and I won't delay your return home!" Fang Qingluo said earnestly. Said.

These words speak to Boss Zhang’s heart. Now he is eager to return home, and he can’t sleep well when he is in a hurry. To be able to return home, if Fang Qingluo can deal with the matter within three days, even some of him will recognize it.

"Since Miss Fang is so straightforward, I'll let you another ten taels of silver." Boss Zhang said.

Fang Qingluo didn't speak, and calculated in his mind that it was only ten taels cheaper, and he didn't have the pleasure of bargaining for clothes in his previous life, but she also had difficulties, and she was not the one who made trouble.

Boss Zhang saw that she was silent, thought she was still dissatisfied, and became anxious. It’s not that no one came to the shop these days, and some people wanted to buy, but they still had to bargain. Some people probably thought that he was in a hurry to return home. So he deliberately procrastinated, waiting for him to finally buy at a low price as a last resort.He would appreciate something as straightforward as the Miss Fang in front of him. If possible, he would even sell it to this Miss Fang.Moreover, her maid also hinted before that she was born in a noble family and had ties to the royal family. Although he didn't know which family Miss Fang belonged to, he felt that with her status, she must be right.

He suddenly thought of an idea, and hurriedly said: "I have an idea, how about this, if Miss Fang takes over my restaurant and hired workers together, the price can be even lower, and I won't come to those fake ones, The price is 250 taels of silver!"

Boss Zhang is going to sell the shop instead of transferring it to a restaurant. Fang Qingluo thought about it, the restaurant is not bad, it is an old brand after years of operation, and the business is pretty good, so if you continue to do it, you should not lose money Maybe, it's just that she wants to take over Boss Zhang's former employees, which is a bit troublesome.

"The shortest of these hired workers has been with me for five years, and the longest has been for eight years. If I say that I am most reluctant to leave Beijing, it is not this shop, but these old hired workers. Some of them also left Beijing with me. , but most of them live in the capital and cannot leave easily, so I originally wanted to give each of them a severance package, hoping that they would find a suitable job as soon as possible. But if Ms. Fang takes over the restaurant and continues to employ them, they will also I don’t need to go to the street to find a new job so hard, and I have saved the severance pay, even if it goes to Miss Fang’s discount.” Boss Zhang said while stroking his beard, very satisfied with his clever idea.

It sounds like Boss Zhang is still a kind and righteous person. Fang Qingluo praised him a few words, but quickly thought about the possibility of opening a restaurant by herself. She had no business experience in her previous life, but she could use some marketing methods from her previous life , I think it will have a great effect in such a simple ancient times.

"Aren't you afraid that after I take over the restaurant, I'll smash your signboard?" Fang Qingluo joked.

Boss Zhang also laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Fengshui here is good, and the old employees are familiar with the situation in the store. It's not so easy for you to screw up. Besides, I have met many people over the years. I will also look at the face, and see that Ms. Fang is a very rich and powerful person, and if the restaurant is transferred to your hands, maybe she can go to a higher level!"
