Mo Rao left the room. The two people standing at the door, although standing straight, were still lost in thought.

When I walked out into the hall, I ran into Hua Mama.

Hua's mother said with a flattering look on her face: Are you satisfied, girl?

Mo Rao directly threw a five-liang silver ingot to Hua Mama and said in a good mood: Satisfied, very satisfied.

As he said this, he strode out of the brothel. The brothel was filled with noise and no one noticed Mo Rao's presence.

The next day, Li Lingye regained his strength. He hated Mo Rao with a vengeance. He wished he could peel off her skin and drink her blood.

Li Lingye thought viciously, you dead woman, just wait for me, they will settle this score slowly.

The two shadow guards were directly fined three months' salary by Li Lingye for dereliction of duty.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is now penniless. He needs to write a letter to his father and borrow some money from him.

Mo Rao was in a good mood when she returned to the rented courtyard.

How could she not be happy when she could get back five thousand taels in one go?

The consumption capacity of this capital city is absolutely incomparable to that of any other town.

Therefore, the restaurant in the provincial capital must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

The next day, Mo Rao went to the brokerage firm to inquire about the housing prices in the city. It would have been fine if he hadn't asked, but after asking, he felt completely depressed.

A shop of about 20 square meters would cost over a thousand taels.

A larger shop, covering several hundred square meters, would cost tens of thousands of taels.

This isn't even the most prosperous area, it's too expensive.

Even if she still had some silver in her hand, even if she added the five thousand taels, it would still be less than ten thousand taels.

There are no shops selling anything in the busiest and most prosperous streets.

In the following days, Mo Rao wandered around the streets and alleys of the capital city.

It’s amazing that I actually gain something from wandering around like this every day.

There is an open space at the corner of the street, where wheat should have just been planted. There are relatively few people here, and the business of the surrounding shops does not look very good. Some sell bamboo baskets, and some sell tables, chairs and benches.

Some shops are even empty. Because it is relatively remote, there are not many people coming here, so business is not good here.

But Mo Rao was not worried about being alone, after all, good wine needs no bush.

As long as her Xiangyun Restaurant is famous enough, this business will definitely be successful. What's more, there are restaurants in the town as a foundation, so there will definitely be no problem.

Mo Rao immediately asked the owner of the land. The shops around were very enthusiastic and she soon found out where the owner was.

The owner is an old man who sells stone mills in the west of the city.

Mo Rao followed everyone's instructions and walked all the way to the old man's house.

After a few knocks on the door, an old man in his forties or fifties came out to open it.

May I ask what you want from me, young lady?

Mo Rao said straight to the point: Uncle, are you selling the land on the corner of the street?

When the old man saw that it was a girl asking, he asked suspiciously: Girl, do you want to buy it?

Yes, I wonder if you want to sell that piece of land?

If the price is right, I can sell it. But that piece of land is not cheap, do you still want to buy it?

Many people had inquired about this piece of land before, but they left after hearing the price. So he had to ask first. If the price was low, he might as well stay there and farm it himself. If the price was higher, he could buy a few more acres of high-quality paddy fields elsewhere.

The location here is not good. If you buy the land here and build a shop, you will definitely lose money. Just look at the business here and you will know.

If it is built for living, it will be even less cost-effective. It doesn't cost much to buy a piece of land near the city.

So the old man agreed on the price in advance, otherwise she would think that the price of his land was the same as that in the village.

Uncle, how much does your land cost?

I have two mu of land here, and the price is forty taels per mu, so two mu costs eighty taels.

Hearing such a price, Mo Rao still gasped.

It is true that the price of this land is not cheap, but on second thought, if it were cheaper, it would have been bought long ago.

Seeing that the old man was so old, I felt embarrassed to bargain with him. Anyway, I didn't need the money, so I didn't bargain with him and just did a good deed that day.

I bought my land, Mo Rao said proudly.

The old man thought he had misheard, but he didn't expect the girl in front of him to buy it without even thinking about it.

Asked again: Girl, don’t you need to discuss this with your family?

No need, I can handle this little thing myself, Mo Rao said seriously.

Seeing that the girl in front of him was not joking, the old man believed her words.

After confirming it again, the old man could no longer stand there. He immediately hurried back to the house, briefly talked to his family, and then took the land deed and Mo Rao to the government office.

The old man was in a hurry because he was afraid that Mo Rao would go back on her word and wanted to get things done quickly.

The two went directly to the household registration office, and under the witness of the yamen runner, Mo Rao paid eighty taels of silver.

The old man took the silver with joy and carefully wrapped it in layers of cloth.

After the transfer, the name on the deed was Mo Rao, which made Mo Rao very happy.

Miss, the deed documents have been completed. Now that the transaction is over, I will not accept a refund of the money or the land.

The old man said something more worriedly. He didn't want the girl to feel that she had made a loss and come to their house to make trouble again.

Don't worry, sir. I won't look for you anymore. This land is mine now. It has nothing to do with you anymore. I won't look for you anymore, so don't worry!

The old man returned home carefully with the silver in his arms.

Mo Rao also happily took the deed and left.

When he got home, Mo's father found out that his daughter had spent eighty taels to buy land, but it was in a bad location. He was heartbroken.

Mo Rao comforted him, "Dad, this land we bought will be very useful. If the silver is low, people may not be willing to sell it. If our restaurant business is prosperous in the future, it would not be appropriate for them to come here and make trouble."

When Mr. Mo thought about it, he agreed and his heartache subsided.

With Zhang Lin's help, Father Mo felt less busy and could finally take a break.

Mo Rao expressed her idea, and Mo's father immediately promised to find someone to build the house tomorrow.

Mo Rao drew the blueprints overnight, and Mo's father went to look for people to build the house early in the morning. The busy farming season was over, and there was not much work in the fields, so more people came looking for work.

According to Mo Rao's request, Mr. Mo found as many people as possible. The weather is cold now, and it would be troublesome if they got frozen.

Father Mo found more than fifty people, all of whom brought their own tools.

Mo Rao used lime to smooth the ground.

According to Mo Rao's request, the workers dug out the ground directly, and did not stop until the ground was five meters above the ground.

With so many people around, the work went fast, and the ground was dug in just one day.

Mo Rao would pay double the money to anyone willing to stay and work overtime at night. Time is money, so there was no time to waste.

The next day, the bricks were all brought in, and the bustling scene attracted many people to watch. Some of the more creative ones even started selling food at the entrance of the construction site.

Hollow pipes are buried in the ground. In winter, hot water flows in the pipes, so people feel warm when they step on the ground. There is no need to wear a coat when entering the restaurant.

These people had money hanging in front of them, so they naturally worked overtime to build the house. In ten days or so, the house was completed.

The renovation team is still the same people who were hired before. After all, they have experience and can be faster.

The tables, chairs, benches, etc. were all custom-made by the previous person.

These days, Mo Rao felt like she was almost exhausted.
