Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

"Forget about drinking."

"How much do you plan to charge for this restaurant?"

Lin Yi always came with the intention of discussing business.

"Well..."

Zhao Lijie touched his big nose, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Five thousand taels."

"Do you want to talk business or rob?"

Lin Yi didn't even sit down and retorted directly.

"Since I have the deed to this store, I naturally have the final say on the price."

"By the way, while you were busy with the bar, I took over many shops on this street, and even in the entire Liangzhou City."

Zhao Lijie looked fearless and said, "Either this store pays 5,000 taels, or you can do it yourself."

"That's no talk."

Lin Yi said calmly, "I don't want this store anymore."

"If you don't want such a good price of five thousand taels, the next time you ask me for it, it will be ten thousand taels!"

"Watch it!"

Zhao Lijie said coldly, "If you have the guts, don't ever ask me for it in your life!"

Lin Yi didn't bother with Zhao Lijie anymore and left the restaurant directly.

From the previous incident at the rival Yihongyuan, he had already confirmed that this big-nosed Zhao Lijie was not good at doing business.

He had no other recourse but to rob.

So Lin Yi planned to leave him alone.

It just so happened that the owner of the bun shop next to the supermarket came back, so he walked to the shop and found the owner.

"Boss, I've been waiting for you for a month."

Lin Yi said this, clasping his fists and bowing with great respect.

“My shop doesn’t sell it.”

The bun shop owner spoke directly without even any hesitation.

"I'm not here to discuss buying or selling a store with you; I just want to chat with you."

Lin Yi's attitude was still very respectful.

Seeing him like this, the bun shop owner nodded slightly and took him to the inner room to talk.

"Your buns taste just average."

As a man who specializes in making buns, he immediately became angry when he heard Lin Yi's words.

"How many years have you been making buns? Do you know how to make them?"

In anger, the bun shop owner immediately asked back.

"How about I make a cage?"

"Hold on."

As Lin Yi spoke, he went to the supermarket next door to find a packet of seasoning.

Then I went to the kitchen of the store and started making buns.

Coincidentally, he had experience in making buns in his previous life, and he also knew how to make them taste more delicious.

Looking at Lin Yi's skillful movements, the bun shop owner was immediately surprised.

How come he is more skilled at making buns than me?

After some hard work, Lin Yi's buns were ready.

Not only is the bun dough fragrant, but the filling inside is also very delicious.

The only flaw is that Lin Yi’s buns are a little small.

Both the waiter and the boss praised Lin Yi's buns from the bottom of their hearts, but they also had the same question in their hearts, "How did you make it?"

"I don't want to buy your store, I just want to trade stores with you."

Seeing that he had agreed, Lin Yi began to put forward conditions, "After exchanging stores with you, I want to use this store as an expansion of the supermarket."

"At the same time, I will tell you the secret of this bun."

Hearing this, the bun shop owner showed some resistance on his face, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with changing the location.

With his consent, Lin Yi made an appointment with the bun shop owner to open the shop next to the bar.

Afterwards, Lin Yi used a similar method to buy several stores around the bar and made a unified plan.

In addition to Zhao Lijie's restaurant, Lin Yi expanded to the other side and began to redecorate the store he bought.

The bun shop was converted into a twelve-hour convenience store, open from morning to night, and able to provide some supermarket goods.

Next to the bar, a steamed bun shop opened, and opposite the steamed bun shop was a two-story "chess and card room".

Guests can come in and play chess at will. Various chess games and even poker, which is popular in bars, can be played there.

There is no gambling in the chess and card room, they only make money from the tea cups, and with unlimited refills and a variety of drinks, they can make a steady profit.

Lin Yi expanded little by little, like making dumplings.

After more than half a month, Lin Yi had taken over eight of the twenty shops of various sizes on the street.

Chess and card rooms, massage parlors, bars, and steamed bun shops have gradually become comprehensive fast food restaurants with steamed buns as their core business...

Lin Yi even opened a bow and arrow shooting shop for the first time. Of course, the arrows were wrapped in cloth, not real ones.

Shooting prizes replaced target shooting and became popular among many young people...

As these stores gradually became profitable, Lin Yi's initial investment costs were offset, and the pattern formed by the eight stores began to produce a location effect.

There is no shortage of food, drink, and entertainment, and people from inside and outside Liangzhou City come here almost every day.

This caused the stores owned by Zhao Lijie to suffer huge losses.

Gambling houses are not as fun as archery shops and chess and card rooms, and cheating is common in gambling houses. On the contrary, those who play for money secretly feel that chess and card rooms are fairer.

Apart from the restaurant near the bar, Zhao Lijie has been making crazy losses.

Another half month passed.

Lin Yi has already managed the eight stores on this street in an orderly manner and is preparing to continue expanding and take over the remaining stores so that the entire street can benefit from each other and cooperate with each other.

But at this moment, the injured Xiaomei ran over from Niujia Village.

The bar was dimly lit, and the bartender was the first to notice her.

"Is Master Lin Yi here?"

Xiaomei asked anxiously, holding her shoulder.

"Boss Lin, in the chess and card room next door."

"I heard that he's planning to hold a competition to see how good the chess players in Liangzhou City are..."

After hearing what the bartender said, Xiaomei immediately ran to the chess and card room across the street.

The chess and card room was brightly lit, and some people were still watching the game between masters.

"Master, it's not good!"

Xiaomei rushed over immediately when she heard Lin Yi's voice, and then all her strength was gone.

When Lin Yi saw that it was Xiaomei, he immediately helped her to the tea room to rest.

"what happens?"

"How did you get hurt?"

He was busy with the business of eating, drinking and having fun on Liangzhou City's street and had not returned to Niujia Village for some days.

"Niujia Village...Niujia Village was robbed by robbers...All the goods...were stolen!"

After saying that, Xiaomei fainted.

Lin Yi immediately carried Xiaomei to Chen Yifu.

Now Chen Yifu's yard is not only training girls who can do massage, but also training some thugs so that they can provide first aid in the event of an emergency.

"Miss Xiaomei's injury was a knife wound, and..."

After giving Xiaomei a simple bandage, Chen Yifu frowned slightly, "It's a military weapon."

"Xiaomei said that Niujia Village was robbed by robbers."

Lin Yi suddenly became nervous. The robber who was able to get the weapons from the army was not a simple person!

"Come with me to Niujia Village!"

He felt that there should be more people injured in Niujia Village. "Just let me pay for the wages. I'll ask Xu Chuan for it later."

After saying that, Chen Yifu took various medicines and bandages for injuries and immediately went to Niujia Village with Lin Yi.

At night, all the houses in Niujia Village were dark.

Only the newly built simple lobby was brightly lit.

Lin Yi immediately took Chen Yifu there, but saw that the villagers all had bruises on their faces and noses, and many of them had knife wounds!

"Boss Lin, you're back!"

The village chief rushed over impatiently.
