The two old shop owners were very talkative and did not neglect Shangguan Yue just because she was a child.

Although this young lady's clothes were simple, the fabric was extremely luxurious. She was accompanied by guards and maids, so she was not an ordinary citizen.

Moreover, the young lady was well-spoken, approachable, and very kind to the elderly. The old couple felt that this was the so-called granddaughter of other people's families.

Seeing Shangguan Yue, the old couple missed their daughter and grandchildren even more, but they were reluctant to give up their life's work and just close it down.

“Grandpa and grandma, you are so old now, you should enjoy your life and visit your daughters and grandchildren, they must miss you very much.

It's natural that you're reluctant to leave, but all good things must come to an end, and you can't run this shop forever.

It is normal for you to worry about your daughter's in-laws, but if your daughter did not have certain abilities, we would not ask you to go there. Now that we have asked you to go there.

Of course, I have thought it through and arranged everything. You can sell this shop to me, and I will use it to open a restaurant.

One day when you come back you can come here to reminisce about the old times, and you can use the money from the sale to help your daughter.

If you are worried about affecting your daughter, you can also use the money to buy or rent a shop near your daughter and open a Yuxiang shop. Isn't that the best of both worlds? "

Shangguan Yue played the emotional card in a psychological warfare. The two old people clearly wanted to go to their daughter's place, but they were always hesitant, and they just needed someone to give them a blow.

She really likes this place. Although the store is not in the center of the street, it is next to the exit of Wang Street, which is suitable for taking a break and eating after shopping.

The old couple were very happy. They had been unable to make a decision, but they didn't expect that a little child could help them find a solution.

How could a little girl like her decide to buy this shop? This is not just a matter of buying clothes or jewelry!

"Little girl, can you make the decision on this matter? Or you can ask your parents to come and discuss it!" The old couple was a little worried.

"Grandpa and grandma, this is not a big deal. I can make the decision. Just check and see how much you can sell this shop to me for." Shangguan Yue said with a smile.

"To be honest! We bought this shop thirty years ago, and our daughter was born a few years after we bought it. Although the price at that time was not as high as it is now, I still spent all my savings and borrowed a lot of money to buy it.

We'll go with the current price in Yuecheng, five thousand taels of silver, do you think you can accept that?" the old couple said to Shangguan Yue.

"How big is the land here including the backyard?" Shangguan Yue asked. She also wanted to calculate the price per square meter based on the area. Here they calculated it by mu.

Moreover, the number of acres in ancient times was different from that in modern times, it was much smaller. In ancient times, one acre of land was about 500 square meters.

Modern times, one acre is equal to 666.6 square meters, a difference of more than 100 square meters.

“Young girl, the deed says four acres of land, but since we two old men can’t handle it and the business isn’t big, we’ve reduced the size of the shop.

We separated this back area to store things, and the backyard is huge! The same is true for the open space at the back. "The old couple explained enthusiastically.

More than 2,000 square meters, it's quite big. It would be nice to build a sunshade shed in the back to store horse carriages.

Five thousand taels is neither expensive nor cheap in this era. It is a very reasonable price, and the two old men are considered honest.

"Okay, I can accept this price. I'll eat first, and then we'll go together to handle the property rights change." I was so hungry that I had to eat to have the strength to work.

"Oh! Excuse me, we'll go prepare some food for you first. Please sit down, have some tea and take a rest." The old couple hurried into the kitchen to get busy.

When the dishes were served, I realized that this shop mainly serves fish. The fish was cooked in a large pot with shrimps, shellfish, and some cooked vegetables poured in.

This is not much different from the modern hodgepodge, a more popular way of eating, but it still tastes good. There is a reason why this old shop has been open for decades.

After dinner, I went to the government office with the elderly couple to handle the transfer of property rights.

Fortunately, she came out to buy a shop and purchase items, so she brought a lot of banknotes.

Shangguan Yue also handed over five thousand taels of silver to the old couple and wanted to give them the money for the meal as well.

The old couple refused to accept it, so Shangguan Yue had no choice but to give up. He thought that they had run the shop here for thirty years and must know a lot of craftsmen.

When the old man heard that Shangguan Yue was looking for a carpenter with good craftsmanship and a wax figure maker, he was very happy.

He has loved carpentry since he was a child, but carpenters don't make much money, so he opened a shop. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to find a wife.

Now, several decades have passed, there are more and more rich people, and carpenters are gradually sought out by the rich to make furniture, etc. Therefore, carpenters now have a good income and no longer worry about not being able to find a wife.

The old grandfather's apprentice when he was a child lived in the next street. His skills were top-notch, so he was very happy when Shangguan Yue asked him about it just now.

His junior fellow apprentice and he help each other. If someone is looking for food, his junior fellow apprentice will introduce them to his Yuxiang shop.

The one who makes wax figures is also on the next street, not far from my junior fellow brother's furniture shop. They are on the same street, one at the beginning and the other at the end.

Because making furniture and wax figures requires a large space to store various items, it is more convenient to do so in places like street corners and the end of streets.

Shangguan Yue was very happy. It turned out that it was good to find local elders who knew everything.

I turned to the next street and found the furniture shop. The front, back, left and right doors were all filled with furniture and some scrap wood.

The grandfather's junior fellow knew that he was introduced by his senior brother and was very enthusiastic. He and his three sons run the furniture shop together, so there is absolutely no need to worry about the construction period.

Shangguan Yue handed the drawings to the old carpenter, who said it was no problem because they had made toys for children before, including animals and dolls with movable hands and feet.

This is the same size as a person, so it is easier to make. Shangguan Yue ordered ten pieces for eight taels of silver, and they can be picked up in five days.

If the result is good, Shangguan Yue plans to order some more cabinets for the store decoration in the future.

After paying the silver and collecting the receipt, Shangguan Yue walked to the end of the street without stopping.

The end of the street is very quiet, completely different from the main street.

There are two big banyan trees at the corner, which look to be over a hundred years old. The wax figurine shop is right under the banyan trees.

The dark clouds just covered the sun, and the wax figures hung under the tree looked very strange and eerie.

Suddenly, a few black birds flew out from the tree, "Ah! Ah! Ah!" and flew out of the tree and into the sky.

Bai Wei was so scared that she hid behind Jin Feiyun, who frowned.

This maid didn't stand in front of Shangguan Yue, but dared to hide behind him? He reached out and picked up Bai Wei and threw her next to Shangguan Yue.

He flew in front of Shangguan Yue.

"Don't be afraid! They are all dummies." Jin Feiyun said to Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Yue was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

This guy is quite responsible and has good guarding skills! Unfortunately, she is not a child. It's not like she hasn't been to modern wax museums. There are wax figures in many tourist areas and museums.

They are made to look just like real people. She has touched them before. Some of them are made with resin and feel elastic. Even the blood vessels and tendons are made to look just like real people.

I just don't know what this wax figure museum is like.
