Chapter 289: 【288】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 139 (2 Updates)

With the soap solidifying the base here, nanny immediately showed interest in these items and decisively closed the wooden chest lid.

"Alright, I’ll trust you this once, but how can I be sure you won’t cause trouble inside here?"

Xiao Yu, torn between laughter and tears, "Nanny, I am here to make money, not to harm lives. If something really happened, could I escape?"

Nanny snorted coldly, "That’s not necessarily true; these days, wrongdoers don’t write their crimes on their faces, So you need to leave your ID Card here with me."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but shake her head, "Nanny, one should not doubt the people they decide to use and shouldn’t use those they doubt. Not to mention I didn’t bring that with me when I left home, even if I had it, your words are a bit too hurtful to my feelings. If you truly can’t trust me, then we might as well not discuss this business."

Just as Xiao Yu stood up, intending to leave with the chest in her arms, nanny laughed and held down the chest with her hand.

"Miss, how can you do business with so little patience?"

"I am a craftsman; if the other party doesn’t trust me, I find there’s no joy in doing business. Don’t you think?"

"Good, I like your straightforwardness. Fine, I’ll trust you this time. It’s unlikely you’d dare to cross Zuiyan Building, but I must ask you, of all the establishments, why did you choose only Zuiyan Building? Or, do you also have partnerships with other places?"

Xiao Yu shook her head, "No, I only brought so many, but I can’t guarantee that if the price isn’t right in the future, I won’t find others to collaborate with. As for why I ended up here, can I just say, I happened to walk here and randomly knocked on a door?"

Nanny twitched the corner of her mouth, "Miss, you really do as you please!"

"Fair enough, I’m a country person; I don’t understand the rules and don’t like being restricted. Nanny is straightforward too; I hope we can have a long-term collaboration."

Leaving Zuiyan Building, Xiao Yu felt quite good. Although she didn’t get a good price for her items today, she believed they would definitely collaborate with her once they used them.

Since she was in town, she might as well look for Broker Li. Unexpectedly, he was planning to find her, which was quite a coincidence.

"You’ve come at just the right time; I have a shop available. Your luck is even better this time, it’s in a great location. Guess how much?"

Xiao Yu blinked, "Four thousand?"

"Where did you think? It’s on Beijing’s busiest Chang’an Street, six zhang long, three zhang wide, and it even comes with a backyard, for just three thousand taels of silver."

A one hundred square zhang shop with a backyard too? Such a good deal?

However, that wasn’t the end of it; the broker continued, "There’s more, it’s a two-story building, meaning you can even open a restaurant."

Xiao Yu felt uncertain, "How could such a good shop fall into my hands? In such a location, just the land alone would cost at least ten thousand taels, right?"

Broker Li did not hide the truth, "Indeed, it might not be enough even for ten thousand taels."

"Then how could I afford it? There’s obviously something wrong!"

Broker Li looked deeply at Xiao Yu, "Do you truly not know the reason?"

Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at him, "Would I ask if I knew? No, no, the shop’s too cheap; it makes me uneasy. Find me another one."

Now it was Broker Li’s turn to panic, "How could you say that? I promised someone that I’d handle the transfer for you. Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with the house; the issue may lie in personal relationships. Let me tell you, you’ll not find such a deal again. Think about it, a shop that you couldn’t buy even for ten thousand taels, you’re getting it for three thousand. Isn’t that a huge profit? Who cares if there’s an issue, get it transferred to your name first. We can deal with regrets later."
