Chapter 48.1: 定下铺子

[Settle on a shop]

“This is the first one.”

Chen Xing followed the direction that man pointed, only to see a two-storey restaurant. It was not that different between those restaurants in the street. Moreover, because only seeing it from outside, he can not actually see how big it is.

Perhaps it was because seeing Chen Xing didn’t have any reaction after he saw the shop, Bao Da ting smiled. He was full of interest as he looked at Chen Xing: “Do the two of you want to go in and see?”

Chen Xing turned his head to look at him, and a few surprises appeared in his eyes. He felt that of course it would be best if he could go in to take a look.

Bao Da ting looked at Chen Xing’s reaction, immediately understood that he wanted to go in and take a look, he did not say anything more, just let Chen Xing and Gu Lang wait where they were, and then walked to a nearby shop that was open, said a few words to the boss who guarded the shop inside, and then took a set of keys from them and helped them to open the front door in front of them.

After Chen Xing went in and walked around, he found that the restaurant also had a courtyard at the back, and the overall layout was also very reasonable, and the price of renting it out also made him feel very suitable.

There is only one thing that makes Chen Xing feel a little difficult, that is, this restaurant is located in a place that is too remote, there is no place to shop nearby, all were only sporadic households. Even if Chen Xing is not worried about his cooking skills, he also does not think in this kind of place, customers can come like clouds.

Perhaps seeing Chen Xing’s concerns, Bao Da ting very interested as he said, “There are still two places that comes to your term, do you want to go and take a look?”

Hearing that, Chen Xing immediately nodded, to be able to compare three is the best, otherwise by the time the shop opened up, but no business whatsoever, it will also give him a headache.

Bao Da ting’s patience is also very good, after seeing Chen Xing nodded, he directly took Chen Xing and Gu Lang went to the second shop to rent.

Chen Xing looked at the restaurant in front of him which was at the end of the street, looked a bit old, and ‘the inviting guest sign board’ was about to fall off or not, and his face became even more entangled. He was worried that if he rented this shop, he would need to spend money again to repair it.

Bao Da ting had a knack for reading people (to carefully weigh a person’s words and closely watch his expression), so after seeing the hesitation on Chen Xing’s face, he smiled and said that he could go in first to see if it was okay.

Chen Xing nodded without hesitation and followed him in with a glimmer of hope, he felt that if the furnishings inside were two or three floors newer than they looked outside, he would be able to accept it.

Only to Chen Xing’s disappointment, the furnishings inside were the same as it appeared outside, they all looked like old objects that had been used for many years, even the beams above his head looked a bit worn out. He was a little curious as to how this shop had lasted until now when it was so dilapidated.

Looking at the disappointed and curious Chen Xing, Bao Da ting kindly explained, “This shop has been around for about forty years now, originally it was an old couple doing it, but then they got older and their children were not around, so they wanted to rent out the shop, so it could also change into some money for living expenses.”

Speaking to this point, the corner of Bao Da ting’s mouth raised a smile, and continued, “Of course, if someone wants to buy it, they are also willing to do so.”

Hearing this, Chen Xing asked out of instinct, “How much money do they want?”

The smile at the corner of Bao Da ting’s mouth deepened as he continued, “Four hundred taels!”

Chen Xing sucked in a breath of cool air, he felt that this price was too expensive for him, he could not afford it at all, moreover the shop was not worth that much.

Seemingly understanding what was in Chen Xing’s mind, and seemingly having been questioned many times, after seeing the shock on Chen Xing’s face, Bao Da ting directly said, “Although this shop looks outdated, it is located in a good location, and if it is purchased and renovated, it would not be a bad place to pass on to the family.”

Chen Xing understood now, this was called a premium, it was just that he didn’t have that much money right now, so he looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be quite good natured, and asked with some embarrassment, “Are we able to go and take a look at others?”

“Of course we can.”

Without the slightest bit of impatience in his eyes, Bao Da ting led them right to another rented two-storey restaurant just across the street.

Looking at the brand new signboard at the entrance, Chen Xing was a bit tempted, and when he went in and looked at the brand new décor inside the shop, the clean kitchen, as well as the small courtyard with a patio, he was even more tempted to settle the shop with Bao Da ting on the spot.

Bao Da ting (Detective) leisurely leaned against the door, looking at the excited Chen Xing, knowing that he must be very satisfied, so he waited for him to finish looking at it and then spoke out: “Xiao Gongzi (Little Young master), you like this place?”
