The next morning, Xue Poye woke up very early. He still had to go to the two buildings by the West Lake to make arrangements today. He was not in a hurry, but He Ruhui must be in a hurry. The purse of the meeting will be filled with money one day earlier.

At breakfast, there were two tables full. Seeing the female relatives over there taking their time, and Lin Keer eating porridge in a very cultivated way, Xue Poye felt that his table was really suspected of being eaten by a dog. You Shaoqing and Mingxu didn't feel embarrassed or polite at all. They were extremely comfortable drinking porridge and eating cakes. They ate much faster than Hu San and Xiao Pinshi's group, which made everyone doubt You Shaoqing and Mingxu's stomach The internal structure is different from others.

After breakfast, under Xue Poye's stern gaze and veiled suggestions, You Shaoqing followed the crowd to do things together, only Ming Xu leisurely went to the medical stall to wait for someone to see a doctor, carrying a yellow bag on his back.

The day's work will soon begin.

Xue Poye taught Lao Song that he only asked him to do things with him without saying anything, which made Lao Song a little confused, but when he saw that the two buildings standing beside the West Lake were now under the name of the shopkeeper , I don't know what to think.

Riding a golden lion, Xue Poye advanced to the government office and met He Ruhui. Although he greeted He Ruhui verbally and did not mention anything about the court examination, the purpose of this trip was well known to both parties. He Ruhui was also very happy, and directly handed over the land and house deeds. Although this made He Ruhui very painful, there are many ways to make money, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Tan Ziqing kept a smile on his face, and even sent someone to lead Xue Poye to meet the two buildings.

Lao Song has always been baffled, and he was even more puzzled when he came to the West Lake. It wasn't until he saw the shopkeeper's eyes looking back and forth between the two imposing high-rise buildings that he felt that there was some way. He also knew that these two buildings were still running the business of tea houses and theaters, but they were suddenly withdrawn a few days ago, and everything inside was completely removed. Now there are only two empty high-rise buildings left. I heard people say in private that both of these two families were forced to leave by the new magistrate, and even Louzi was occupied by some means.

Looking across the lake, two high-rise buildings stand majestically, but they don't belong to the Lu family's Huiyuan Pavilion on the edge of the West Lake, but they look very deserted.

The first floor is four stories high, and the first floor has five floors, all of which are majestic with flowing eaves and flying corners. The eaves of fragrant wood, the edges of mahogany, the large gilt pillars, the doors and walls of white marble, and the glazed tiles all show a quaint appearance. There is the reflection of the clear water of the West Lake, and the two photos are so exquisite that people can't tell which is real and which is fake.

Xue Poye walked towards the tall building with his hands behind his back, and Lao Song followed behind with his horse. He is not a stupid person. Shocked, could it be that, as the shopkeeper said a while ago, he really got two buildings by the West Lake

The two imposing tall buildings stood before him, and Lao Song felt incredible. Could it be that he drank a few more cups last night, and he still hasn't woken up

The horse stood outside the building, but the man entered the tall building.

The moment Xue Poye entered the gate, the idea in Lao Song's mind had been confirmed, perhaps, this rickety had become the treasurer's property.

What Lao Song said was right, the owner of the building had already moved away all the things that could be moved, leaving only the empty building and some miscellaneous things. The West Lake is very lively, but here it seems very deserted.

"Master Xue?" There was an servant in the room, who had been dozing off on a chair in the corner of the room, but when he saw Xue Poye coming in, he immediately came up to him and asked.

Xue Poye nodded with a smile, this servant was obviously sent by the government office to look at the building.

"You're here." The guard heaved a sigh of relief, "My lord was worried that those miscellaneous things would come to pick up some things when no one was around, so I sent a little guy here to watch over him. Now that shopkeeper Xue has arrived, the little guy can go back to do business. "

Xue Poye tactfully stuffed some silver taels, and the guard said "you're polite", he gladly accepted it, and Shi Shi went away.

The building is really spacious and spacious, and because of the spaciousness, with the warm wind blowing from the West Lake, there is no smell of dry rot in the room, and there is a faint scent of tea, which is obviously the tea house that was previously used building.

Xue Poye touched the smooth wooden pillars, looked at the extremely exquisite pavilions, and was very moved. If it is said that Lanyuexuan was for the purpose of solving food and clothing to achieve a well-off life, then the two high-rise buildings under his name are really stepping into the world. mall industry.

"The shopkeeper, let's..." Although shocked, Lao Song finally regained his composure. He finally understood why the shopkeeper asked himself if he had the guts to manage such a building by the West Lake that day. Everything was planned in secret. For this young shopkeeper, I can no longer express my inner feelings with admiration. I made a decision in my heart. Even if there are twists and turns in the future, I must advance and retreat with this great young man in front of me.

"What do you think?" Xue Poye smiled, feeling very satisfied with the place that will be used as a *camp restaurant.

Old Song nodded again and again: "It's amazing, shopkeeper, it's amazing."

Xue Poye took Lao Song up to the fourth floor, the highest, and walked to the railing. Looking far away, a large area of Hangzhou city was in front of him. The ancient houses with layers of mountains and roads Pedestrians on the road, everything seemed calm.

"Look at that building." Xue Poye pointed to a five-story building not far away, and said with a smile, "In the future, you will not only be the second shopkeeper of this building, but also that building will be under your management."

Old Song turned pale with shock, his eyes were dumbstruck, his lips moved, but he didn't speak.

Xue Poye was silent for a while, and said: "These two places used to be theaters and teahouses. Some of the layouts are not suitable for restaurants. You should spend some time looking for someone to decorate them."

Lao Song came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I will leave this matter to me."

Xue Poye smiled slightly, and said again: "Although we are running a restaurant, the layout and style of this time should not be as clichéd as other restaurants. It must be changed to attract customers."

"Change the style?" Lao Song was a little at a loss: "What else can the restaurant be like?"

Xue Poye had long thought about it, and knew that it was necessary to explain it in detail, so he said: "So, you spend the time to find the decoration workers today, and I will tell you in detail when the foreman comes."

Lao Song hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, I think Hu Ji's decoration company is good. They started the construction before we Lanyuexuan. Do you think they can do it?"

"You must be this one." Xue Poye smiled and said: "I will greet Yuezhu later, and go to the cabinet to pay for the money. Although we don't have much money, we can get the money for decorating the two restaurants." After thinking about it Thinking, Lanyuexuan's business has been doing well, and the profits are very rich. It stands to reason that the money for the renovation of the two restaurants should be enough.

Lao Song knew that the shopkeeper had a lot of money and trusted him so much, so he couldn't help being very grateful. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I will definitely use the least amount of money to do the most things."

Only then did Xue Poye go downstairs, and said: "We still have to spend the money that should be spent, and we can't deal with it in the slightest. Yes, do you know that there are some famous craftsmen in Hangzhou who can make fake flowers and grass? Tree?"

Lao Song didn't understand the meaning of the words, and looked at Xue Poye blankly. Xue Poye sighed and had to explain. Lao Song was a little puzzled, and said: "What do we need flowers and trees? There are so many outside, there is no need Find someone to make it." After a pause, he said: "There is a handy Zhang, very dexterous, it is said that he has been to Gongsun City, learned some mechanism skills of Gongsun's family, and the things he made seem to be alive. "

"Gongsun City?" Xue Poye was a little puzzled.

Lao Song explained: "Everyone has only heard about it, and rarely seen it. They only say that Gongsun City is the place where the Gongsun family lives. Same."

Xue Poye was overjoyed, and immediately led Lao Song to find Qiaoshouzhang. The tall building was very empty, and there were some useless things, and he didn't care about others stealing it.

It's not hard to find a skillful hand Zhang, and he is also hospitable. There are many strange things made in his yard. The wooden dog can run, the bamboo bird can fly, and the grass carp is still swimming in the water. He really is a generation of strange people. .

Xue Poye had a discussion with him immediately, Qiaoshou Zhang was a little confused at first, but finally understood Xue Poye's idea, clapped his hands and applauded, and declared that he would be able to make satisfactory flowers, plants and trees, and both parties were happy.

However, when Xue Poye curiously asked about the so-called Gongsun City, Qiaoshou Zhang smiled and said nothing, refusing to reveal a word, Xue Poye didn't ask any more questions, and then he left Qiaoshou Zhang's house after giving some orders. residence.

When he came out, Lao Song praised: "The shopkeeper's luck is really good."

Xue Poye asked the reason, and Lao Song sighed: "Although Qiaoshou Zhang is extremely capable, there is a rule that he does not do repetitive things. The fake flowers, grass and trees that the shopkeeper just mentioned are probably the ones that Qiaoshou Zhang has never done before." I have made it, so I agreed to make it for you, otherwise I would never agree. But this idea was thought up by the shopkeeper, from now on, these things will only be made for you."

Only then did Xue Poye come to his senses, and secretly called luck in his heart, hoping that this luck would always be with him.
