Chapter 54: Qiantang Hong Clan
Xu Yan thought to himself that you are really honest.
The reason why he asked Xu Wei was that he wanted Xu Wei to cooperate with him, one of whom was blushing and the other was blushing and the other was blushing and suppressing the price.
But Xu Wei was good and gave a pretty good review.
How can I lower the price?
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yan said lightly: "The rest of this shop is fine, but there is only one that is too close to the entrance of the shop."
The old shopkeeper narrowed his eyes into slits and smiled, "Young Master is just joking, right? How can it be considered a disadvantage when you get close to Fangkou?"
Xu Yan had already made up his mind to stop the price and how could he give up easily: "Why isn't it a shortcoming? I want to build a bookstore when I buy this shop, what does the bookstore sell?"
"Of course it's selling books."
"That's it. Since you want to sell books, the customer naturally has to read it first and then buy it. This place is so close to Fangkou, and there is no time for people and cars to come, so how can you be patient?"
The old shopkeeper thought to himself that there seemed to be some reason, but he always felt something was wrong.
"You can make a price first."
Xu Yan didn't give the old shopkeeper time to react.
"Seeing that the young master is so sincere, he wants to buy it, five hundred taels, only five hundred taels."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yan shook his head: "Brother Wen, let's go."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The old shopkeeper was immediately anxious. How could the duck he got let it fly?
He chased after him a few steps and gritted his teeth and said, "Four hundred and fifty taels, are you satisfied?"
Xu Yan still didn't look back.
Although his Xu family is rich, he is not a big deal. Five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. Although this shop is good, it is definitely not worth so much.
"Young Master, this is Yongkin Gate, where every inch of land is valuable, the most prosperous area in Hangzhou City."
The old shopkeeper almost cried and said, "Four hundred taels, no more."
At this moment, Xu Yan had already walked on the street. He was about to leave. The old shopkeeper stomped his feet and said, "Three hundred taels, only three hundred taels are sold. I just think I have made this friend of the young master!"
Xu Yan stopped.
This price is a bit sincere.
In fact, 300 liang is a bit too high, but it always makes people earn a little profit. In addition, Xu Yan did fall in love with this shop, so he turned around and said, "Three hundred liang, it's a matter of course."
The old shopkeeper still felt a little painful and smiled bitterly: "There are not many people who can bargain as much as the young master, I admire it."
Xu Yan said lightly: "You can go and see another job next?"
The old shopkeeper nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, my son, I will cover everything on me. I will definitely satisfy my son."
The shop has been sold and has not made much money. Now I hope it is all in that other business, so the old shopkeeper naturally wants to make a big profit with it.
If he wanted to make Xu Yan bleed, the old shopkeeper naturally invested a lot.
He rented a cruise ship at the pier outside Yongkinmen and prepared his group to take a boat to cross West Lake to Bieye.
This is the first time Xu Yan has sailed to the West Lake since he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, and he is inevitably a little excited.
However, Xu Wei seemed very calm because he had been here once before.
I have to say that West Lake has different scenery all year round. Although it is late autumn now, it is still so beautiful.
Xu Wei obviously noticed Xu Yan's expression and tentatively said: "Young Master won't write a poem?"
Xu Yan shook his head: "The situation is wrong."
He thought that writing poetry also requires talking about occasions. Isn’t it a waste to write poetry at this time?
The West Lake cruise ship is more exquisite than the general passenger ship. It is usually booked by a rich young man and a beautiful man while traveling with his beauty.
When the old shopkeeper saw that Xu Yan was obviously from another place, he introduced: "Young master, look, there are three pools of moon sealing in front of him."
Xu Yan nodded and said casually:
"The boats on the side of the tower occupy Suhu, and the treasures open the water to connect to the sky. Where does the clouds rise? The heart of the waves is shocked to realize that the old dragon sleeps."
The old shopkeeper wanted to take the opportunity to praise him, but unexpectedly, a pleasure boat came towards him. On the boat, a young lady poured the foot washing water over and fell all on the old shopkeeper.
From beginning to end, the old shopkeeper was so embarrassed that he lost his mind to recite poems.
Xu Yan frowned and said, "This is too rude."
The old shopkeeper forced himself to smile and said, "Miss Miaoyun's foot wash water is not good for ordinary people. I am worth it. Young Master, this is the Hong family's pleasure boat in Qiantang. Let's stay away so as not to cause trouble."
"Qiantang Hong's family?"
Xu Yan raised his eyebrows: "The Hong family in Qiantang is a prominent family in Hangzhou. How could he teach such a tasteless girl?"
The old shopkeeper quickly grabbed Xu Yan and warned him that he could not say anything.
Unfortunately, Xu Yan's voice was obviously too loud, and the Hong family on the pleasure boat had already heard it.
"Young Master, my lady, please get on the boat and talk to you."
A man who looked like a maid passed the message across the boat.
Xu Yan sneered: "I don't have this elegant pleasure."
The maid shook her head: "I just said that my lady is invited..."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Yan interrupted, "I care what your lady says. I don't have a good mood."
After saying that, he signaled the boatman to set the bow.
"You! You are so ungrateful!"
The maid was so angry that she was itchy, but she had no choice but to watch the cruise ship go away.
There is no way to make the boat too big and it is impossible to turn around quickly.
"Young Master, you have offended Miss Hong now."
The old shopkeeper sighed: "Qiantang Hong's family is quite background in Hangzhou, so it's better for the young master to be careful in the future."
Xu Yan didn't care at all: "Little Hong, ridiculous."
But the cruise ship spans West Lake and soon arrived at the Lihu area.
Compared with the Outer West Lake, there are obviously fewer cruise ships here and the environment is very quiet.
After the boat was parked at the dock, Xu Yan jumped first, looking around at the green bamboo, which was so beautiful.
The old shopkeeper was not very neat, so he jumped down with the help of the boatman, shook his clothes and wanted to shake off all the foot washing water just now.
But soon the old shopkeeper found that it was futile, and smiled bitterly and shook his head to lead the way.
Walking on the mountain trail and breathing in the fragrance of fresh soil, it really makes you feel unique.
However, before walking for too long, the old shopkeeper stopped and pointed to a two-story bamboo corridor in a building and said, "Young Master, look, this is what I am talking about."
Xu Yan looked along and saw that from the outside, he looked good, but he didn't know how it was inside.
The group of four walked closer, and the old shopkeeper took out the key and opened it gently, then pushed the door open.
As soon as I entered the door, a large amount of moisture came to my nose.
Xu Yan frowned and said, "Have you been so trendy here?"
The old shopkeeper said a little embarrassedly: "It is inevitable that you live by the water. But it will be much better if you live."
He walked in front and led the way while introducing, while Xu Yan and others followed behind and listened quietly.
"The essence of this other business is on the second floor."
The old shopkeeper was panting and finally calmed down.
"Please look, young master."
He opened the window and pointed out the window and said, "You can see the beautiful scenery of West Lake without leaving your home."
