The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 6 Buying a House to Do Business

The few people who came in the morning saw that it was already lunch time. The pharmacy provided meals for the patients but not for those who accompanied them.

When the three of them arrived in the town, the old man and the village chief felt a little awkward.

Shen Jiarou walked straight to a restaurant, and the village chief stopped her immediately upon seeing her.

"Girl, why don't we go get some cakes or something."

After saying that, he took a look inside.

“It must be expensive here.”

He has used up all the family savings to pay for his wife's medical expenses, and now eating has become a problem.

When the old man saw the restaurant, he became anxious.

"Girl, we won't go in here."

It looks very expensive.

Shen Jiarou knew that they were stingy with money and that they had no money, so she just pulled them in.

The village chief and the old man felt very uneasy. They were wearing patched clothes, which looked tattered in the eyes of others.

When they come here to eat, they are afraid that the waiter will chase them out.

To put it simply, the waiter in the restaurant was just a person who earned his living. When he saw someone coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"Sir, how many of you are there?"

The waiter looked at them all, the girl in the front looked clean, but the two old men at the back were a little unremarkable, but he didn't show it on his face.

Shen Jiarou was still satisfied with his overall attitude.

"We want five dishes and one soup. Please serve us the food as soon as possible. We are already a little hungry."

After Shen Jiarou finished speaking, she gave him the change. The waiter was a little confused when he saw it, as this was the first time he saw someone pay first before eating out.

But this was not the time to be confused, he quickly adjusted his expression and spoke enthusiastically.

"Okay, sir, this way please."

The waiter quickly handed the silver to the shopkeeper.

"Boss, this is the money paid by the guests at that table."

After saying that, he quickly made a pot of tea and placed it on the table where Shen Jiarou and the others were sitting.

The shopkeeper saw everything that happened before and walked over to their table.

He knew who had the final say here, so he spoke to Shen Jiarou in a gentle voice.

"Little girl, you gave me too much silver just now. I will give you the extra money."

When the shopkeeper was about to take out the silver, Shen Jiarou stopped him.

"No problem, just pay first and we'll come back to eat later until we're done."

The shopkeeper was a little caught off guard by her serious style of speaking and doing things, but fortunately he quickly understood.

Well, since the little girl said that, he didn't say anything else. After all, it would be a waste not to make money from business.

Because of Shen Jiarou's generosity, the shopkeeper asked the waiter to bring over a plate of peanuts.

When the three saw the peanuts, they looked at the waiter in surprise.

"Little Brother, we didn't order any peanuts, did we?"

Could it be that it was sent to the wrong person?

Deliver it to someone else's guest's house. In the three people's puzzled eyes, the waiter's words broke their doubts.

"No, the shopkeeper asked me to bring this to you. He said it's for you to eat."

The old man and the village chief looked at each other, and someone brought them food.

Seeing that the boss was so generous, Shen Jiarou accepted it and even gave the waiter a few copper coins as a reward.

"For your reward."

It was the first time for the waiter to receive a tip from a customer, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"This, this, this..."

Shen Jiarou waved her hand.

"It's okay, just keep it."

The waiter had no choice but to accept it, but he was still happy in his heart.

After the three of them finished their meal, when they were about to leave, Shen Jiarou caught up with the waiter and asked him.

"Little Brother, is there any accommodation nearby?"

"Do you need accommodation? Yes, but the accommodation business is not good. There are very few outsiders here."

In this remote area like theirs, there may not be many people staying here in a month.

Shen Jiarou didn't think too much about it and asked for the address and went there.

Shen Jia was found in a remote place in the town.

She looked at the accommodation environment and furnishings in front of her, and heard the boss's sky-high price.

Before she had time to get angry, the old man and the village chief jumped up first.

"What? You only want one or two taels of silver? Why don't you just go and rob?"

According to the market price, the location is remote; according to the conditions, the two rooms have rotten tables and chairs, and are they worth one or two taels of silver?

Shen Jiarou was about to leave silently. Seeing that Shen Jiarou was not at a disadvantage and left without saying anything, the landlord became a little anxious.

"Hey, little girl, the price isn't right, we can discuss it. Oh, don't leave in such a hurry."

How come this business, which was hard to come by, disappeared suddenly?

Shen Jiarou hates it most when people bully the weak and fear the strong. This is true in life and in business.

The three of them hit a wall, not only did they not find accommodation, but they also got themselves angry.

"Girl, don't worry about me. You and I can go back to the village."

The village chief felt helpless as well.

Shen Jiarou shook her head and went to ask the shopkeeper again.

The three of them turned around and came back to the restaurant. The shopkeeper saw them coming back and was a little confused but he understood the reason.

"That woman always charges a high price. There aren't many outsiders here, so generally no one lives here."

Shen Jiarou expressed her understanding, but she did not agree with the aunt's way and means of doing business.

"Boss, is there anyone renting a house nearby?"

The shopkeeper thought about it and said.

“Yes, there are, but they are not very cheap.”

Shen Jiarou then thought of buying a house.

"How about buying it? Is there any?"

Just as the shopkeeper was about to speak, someone came outside the door.

"Manager Liu, I'm going to the county with my wife. Since the house is empty anyway, I want to ask you if there's anyone around who wants to buy the house. Please help us take a look and sell it to us if the price is right."

As soon as the visitor finished speaking, the shopkeeper looked at Shen Jiarou and spoke with a chuckle.

"Brother, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. The girl in front of you is just asking about the house."

The shopkeeper said with a smile and looked at the two of them.

The visitor was very happy when he heard this, but when he looked sideways, he was surprised.

There were three people in front of him. He looked at the clothes of the other two people, and then looked at the girl in front of him.

Very unsure "Little girl, are you buying it?"

Seeing that he didn't quite believe it, Shen Jiarou expressed her understanding.

"I have that plan."

In fact, it was just a temporary idea.

It is really not cost-effective to rent a house, and accommodation is a rip-off.

When the visitor heard it, he really was buying a house.

"Little girl, my house has five entrances and two exits. Do you think it needs to be that big?"

To be honest, five in and two out is still a bit big, so Shen Jiarou asked about the price first.

"How much do you plan to sell your house for?"

When the visitor heard this, he thought, okay, it seems that the little girl wants to ask about the price clearly before deciding whether to buy it.

"Originally it's 500 taels, but if you pay in full, I can give you 50 taels less."

450 taels?

The village chief and the old man were shocked when they heard this. This was too expensive, several hundred taels.

Shen Jiarou also felt that it was a bit expensive, so when she was about to take another look, the man spoke again.

"Little girl, if you really want to buy it, I have some good farmland and one or two shops. If you add some money, I can sell them to you."

The shopkeeper thought it was a good idea, as good farmland could be used to grow crops and food, and could also make money.

The shopkeeper wanted to get to know the little girl, so he said a few words to her.

"Girl, if you have enough banknotes, you can actually buy some good farmland. That way you can collect rent and do business."

That is another stable income.

When Shen Jiarou heard this, she felt that it seemed feasible.

"Well, would you mind taking a look at the houses, shops, and fertile land?"

She'll have to wait and see before deciding.

The visitor thought there was something interesting, so he took the three of them to see it. The shopkeeper saw that there were not many customers in the store, so he also went with them.

They soon arrived at the old man's house, and after looking around the house, the four of them expressed that they were quite satisfied.

The shopkeeper spoke matter-of-factly, "The house is really nice. If I had enough banknotes, I would buy it."

This was indeed true. Afterwards, a few people drove the ox cart to the fertile land behind the landlord's shop.

Shen Jiarou felt it was okay and asked the landlord directly about the price.

"The house and 100 acres of good farmland, 100 acres of land, how about I give you a total price of 800 taels?"

Shen Jiarou thought about it, and the shopkeeper thought the price was quite reasonable.

Finally, Shen Jiarou slammed the table and bought the house and fertile land for 700 taels.

With the help of the shopkeeper, he went directly to the town's government office to handle the transfer process.

The last three people moved in directly with their bags, and the landlord handed over the house deeds, field deeds and land deeds directly to them.

At dinner time, Shen Jiarou sat in the shopkeeper's restaurant and toasted him with a glass of wine.

"Boss, thank you. I'll offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

After she finished speaking, the shopkeeper was stunned by her heroic action.

Then he burst into laughter and drank it all in one gulp.

After eating and drinking, they came to the house.

The old man and the village chief stared at each other. Shen Jiarou looked at what was going on here and felt a little dazed.

The moment before, she was still looking for accommodation and rental housing, but now she just bought a house and moved in.

She could hardly believe what was happening before her eyes, but now she was actually living there.
