Chapter 127 Buying the Blacksmith Shop
"It's good to buy a shop. I'll be useless for this iron shop. Even if I don't plan to build this foundation in the future, I can still sell it for money. I'll buy it for 150,000 yuan now, and it may be more than worth this price. If you want to come back in the future, you can also go to this iron shop." Chen Ming smiled.
Zhang Xianchu thought about it and felt that Chen Ming was right: "You can buy it, but you can't give it to you 150,000 yuan, so you can give it to you 120,000 yuan. Others also offer this price. Sell it to you. This iron shop is still there. If I come back in the future, I can still have some thoughts. If I sell it to others, the shop will be gone."
"It's better to be 150,000, it's worth this price. If I buy you 120,000, others will poke my backbone. If you always sell iron shops now, you will definitely encounter difficulties. Otherwise, you won't be willing to sell them." Chen Ming cannot take advantage of this.
Zhang Xianchu sighed, "My son has indeed encountered difficulties. He opened a restaurant there and spent a lot of money to redecorate it. As a result, the outbreak of the epidemic and suffered serious losses. Now he has to pay a rent soon, otherwise the landlord will have to take back the house, and the money he invested in for decoration will be wasted. I can't raise much money here, so I can't think of selling this shop. Anyway, I can't fight anyway."
"If I don't have enough money, I still have some things on hand." Chen Ming said.
"No, no, no. Add this money, it's almost done." Zhang Xianchu waved his hands repeatedly.
With Chen Ming's insistence, the iron shop still bought it for 150,000 yuan.
"Uncle Zhang, when will you leave? I will see you off at that time." Chen Ming asked.
"You'll leave in the past two days. If you have a lot of work, don't come and see me off. My son drove back and took the highway. It's very convenient." Zhang Xianchu said.
"I made some tea leaves, but I didn't bring them here today. I'll send them to you tomorrow. I'll pick and refine the tea leaves myself, and the taste is different. You can taste it well then." Chen Ming said.
"That's going to come here for dinner tomorrow." Zhang Xianchu said.
Chen Ming did not nominally become Zhang Xianchu, but in fact, the two of them still had a passionate relationship. Chen Ming bought this shop not entirely to repay his kindness, but also to continue the incense. In addition, the refining furnace he used now may not be enough in the future and he has to rebuild it. With this iron shop, it will be more convenient to rebuild the refining furnace in the future.
Zhang Xichu's son Zhang Yujing was very happy when he heard that the iron shop was bought by someone for 150,000 yuan, which was more than 20,000 or 30,000 yuan than the expected 120,000 yuan.
"Dad, why don't we sell our house? Anyway, you will stay in the city with us in the future, so it won't be much use to put this house here. After buying money, we will buy a small apartment in the city to live in. Buying a house in the city will appreciate the value, and the house in our Daxipu will not increase much even if it has been left for a hundred years." Zhang Yujing had the idea of an old house again.
Zhang Xiann's eyes glared: "Don't even think about it. I'll come back to live in the old house in the future. If your wife hadn't said she wanted to have a second child, I wouldn't have gone to the city with your mother to help you take care of people!"
"If you don't sell it, don't sell it. Why are you doing such a big temper? Isn't there any business and quantity in everything you do? Besides, if you sell the house to him, you can be considered your apprentice. If you don't sell it to others, you can come here to see it in the future. In the future, you have been in a hundred years, will this house still be sold?" Zhang Yujing saw that his father's firm attitude was so determined, and probably had no chance, so he had to give up his plan to sell the old house.
Zhang Xianchu was so angry that he was very angry: "I'm not dead yet! You just want to sell the house! You two are so nice to say now. I'll sell this house and give you all the money. If you two are unfilial, will your mother and I stay in the future? Go beg for food?"
"Are my wife and I like that?" Zhang Yujing said.
"That's right!" Zhang Xianchu was very dissatisfied. She had put her child at home before, but she would call him occasionally to ask, never saying that she would give her living expenses or something. After the Chinese New Year, she never bought anything for her parents. It seemed that it was time to bring people to the couple.
Zhang Xianchu will never sell this house.
Seeing that his father was determined, Zhang Yujing had no choice but to give up.
In fact, Zhang Yujing is not really so short of money as he said to Zhang Xianchu. The hotel has been closed for a long time due to the epidemic in the past two years. However, the epidemic was later controlled and the hotel has resumed business for a long time. The business is indeed a little worse, but it has not yet reached the level of loss. Zhang Yujing took this opportunity to get all his parents' deposits from Zhang Xianchu.
Zhang Xianchu had only one son, and sooner or later he would have to give this family business, so Zhang Xianchu didn't confirm his son's words, so he handed over all the savings in the family to his son. Then, at Zhang Yujing's begging, he hung up the blacksmith shop.
As a result, Zhang Yujing tasted the sweetness and set his mind on the old house again.
Zhang Xianchu suddenly felt something was wrong. His son came back and said that it was only a little bit different. He just wanted to raise some for him. But now, the money from buying an iron shop plus his previous savings combined with hundreds of thousands of dollars. During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Xianchu also heard Zhang Yujing talk to his relatives that although the epidemic affected the hotel's business, the landlord still waived several months of rent. Later, the epidemic was controlled and the hotel resumed business. Although the business was worse than usual, it was still very profitable.
Zhang Xianchu's face darkened.
"Your hotel really can't be maintained?" Zhang Xianchu asked Zhang Yujing in a deep voice, staring at Zhang Yujing.
Zhang Yujing was a little panicked, his eyes were floating, and he didn't dare to look at Zhang Xianchu at all. Zhang Xianchu understood and his son was indeed lying to him.
"Dad, why am I lying to you? Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the business has been closed for so long. Although it is open normally, the business is cold. Not only can it not make money, but it has to pay a lot of money every day." Zhang Yujing said.
"Is this true? You were posting to your Moments before, saying that your hotel business is booming. It is even better than before the outbreak." Zhang Xianchu said.
"That was accidental. It was not like this every day." Zhang Yujing was a little panicked. He knew he was suspected by his father.
"snort!"
Chen Ming met Zhang Yuqing when he was sending tea the next day.
"I heard that your Chashu Village is developing better and better. I may go to your village to open a branch in the future." Zhang Yuqing said.
Chen Ming smiled and said, "That's OK. Our village will definitely be very welcome. Now there are more and more tourists, and there is no hotel yet."
"Doctor Chen, don't pay attention to him. This guy likes bragging the most." Zhang Xianchu quickly pulled Chen Ming aside.
"I'm not bragging. If it weren't for the epidemic, I would have no problem opening ten hotels." Zhang Yujing said.
"Uncle Zhang, I brought you a can of tea." Chen Ming handed the small pot with tea in his hand to Zhang Xianchu.
"What kind of tea are you?" Zhang Yujing asked.
"It's not a good tea, it's the tea I picked from the mountains, made by myself. It's not something valuable," said Chen Ming.
When Zhang Yujing heard that it was the tea made by Chen Ming himself, he immediately lost interest. He took the pottery jar from Zhang Xianchu and opened it and took a look, and immediately frowned. The tea balls made by Chen Ming did not look particularly good. Moreover, the fragrance was completely locked. Even if he approached his nose, he could not ask for too much tea fragrance.
"Outside, people often give me some precious tea leaves. I am used to drinking good tea. The tea from our hometown tastes a bad smell. The main reason is that the craftsmanship is not good. Even if you are wild tea, you can't process any good tea leaves." Zhang Yujing was obviously belittling Chen Ming's tea.
"What's the use of whether you are used to drinking it or not? This tea is not for you. Don't touch my tea," said Zhang Xianchu.
"If you don't touch it, don't touch it, who would like to care?" Zhang Yujingba had to taste the taste of the local tea.
Chen Ming could also hear what Zhang Yuqing meant, but he was too lazy to argue with him. After all, he was Zhang Xianchu's son, and Chen Ming didn't want Zhang Xianchu to be embarrassed.
"Uncle Zhang, when you make this tea, you don't need to put a whole tea ball. If it is too strong, you won't taste it. Every time you only need to pinch this little, it's enough to make a pot of tea." Chen Ming reminded.
"What does it taste like if you put this little bit?" Zhang Xianchu felt that Chen Ming was too exaggerating.
"I'll make a cup for you and try it." Chen Ming pinched a little from the tea balls from the pottery jar, put it in Zhang Xianchu's cup, and then poured a cup of warm water. Soon the little tea was completely melted into the water. No residue was left. The color of the tea was cooler and more intense than that of ordinary green tea.
Zhang Xianchu took a sip and immediately felt fragrant with an indescribable scent. It seemed that this cup of tea had opened up the meridians in his body.
"Hey! What a great tea! Dr. Chen, did you really make this tea yourself?" Zhang Xianchu asked in surprise.
"Yes. I made the wild tea picked from the mountains by myself and didn't know how to stir-fry tea, so I made it by making medicinal materials. I didn't expect it to taste good." Chen Ming said.
Zhang Yujing listened and felt a little disdainful, thinking that Chen Ming had never seen the world and had never drunk real good tea. How could this small place in Daxipu produce any good tea? All the good teas can be used to quench thirst.
"Uncle Zhang, if you finish drinking this in the future, just call me. I'll send it to you." Chen Ming said.
Zhang Xianchu said regretfully: "We will leave tonight, and I don't know when we will come back."
"It's okay, you can tell me the address and I'll send it to you." Chen Ming said.
Zhang Xianchu took Chen Ming to the iron shop: "Let's go, I'll explain to you about the iron shop."
There was nothing valuable in the iron shop, so Zhang Yujing was too lazy to get up and go over and see it.
