Chapter 439 - 439 439 Is This Place For Sale

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Is This Place For Sale? Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Is This Place For Sale? “Miss Lin, this building is designed for a big tavern,” he couldn’t help but remind her aloud.

Who would use such a large space to open a shop selling dried fruits and snacks? Surely, they’d be laughed at for being wasteful and having a screw loose, wouldn’t they?

“I know that, otherwise why would I be interested in it?”

As if she hadn’t understood the implication in Zhe Jue’s words, Lin Caisang nodded carelessly.

She was perfectly satisfied with this place. The key point was that it had three floors! She could sell dried fruit and snacks on the first floor, fruit wine and the like on the second floor, and all kinds of medicinal herbs and incenses she made could be displayed on the third floor.

“Master…”

Zhe Jue fell silent, and looked helplessly at his master, hoping that Ya Molian would persuade Lin Caisang.

But apparently, Ya Molian didn’t even spare him a glance, let alone say anything. Meanwhile, she was already helping Lin Caisang down from the carriage.

“Let’s go have a look.”

Zhe Jue:”!!!”

He really wanted to see what this outrageous couple were thinking, but of course he dared not. He obediently opened an umbrella to shelter his two masters who were about to descend from the carriage.

In reality, he was already on the verge of tears.

…

The pub had already closed for the day, with the previous tenant long gone and the next one yet to arrive. To the landlord, a visitor was nothing less than a blessing as it meant his property could generate income again.

Upon receiving the news, the pub’s landlord rushed over to greet Ya Molian and Lin Caisang, worshipping them with every nod and bow.

“Sir, this pub may look old at present, but with a fresh coat of paint and some new furniture, it could turn out to be a gold mine,” he introduced emphatically his own property to Ya Molian.

“Just look at this street. It’s the busiest in Yejun. See those bustling taverns around? I assure you that you won’t find a place like mine anywhere else. Moreover, the rent isn’t expensive, just a hundred taels of silver per month…”

While he was talking, Ya Molian merely looked at him indifferently, and then turned to Lin Caisang.

“Sir, is this place for sale?”

Lin Caisang asked the landlord nonchalantly, peering at him.

They toured the building from the first floor to the third, then back down again. Throughout the process, the landlord never stopped talking. She had to admire his ability to talk incessantly.

“Sell?”

This caught the landlord off guard.

“Miss, you want to buy this tavern?”

He assumed they were here to rent the place for business, but who would have thought she was so generous that she wanted to buy it outright?

This pub had changed hands several times before it came into his possession. Every one of its previous owners had aimed to make a profit from it, reasoning that even if it didn’t make much money, at least it wouldn’t cost them anything.

However, who would have expected that there were too many well-established and reputable taverns nearby to compete with? Their fledgling tavern didn’t stand a chance.

What could he do? Of course, he was eager to sell it off as soon as possible.

“Well… Miss, the location of this tavern is really excellent. If you want to buy it, the price…”

Of course, he couldn’t appear too eager. He needed to play hard to get to squeeze a little more money out of the buyer, didn’t he?

“Just name the price. If I think it’s reasonable, I’ll buy it.” Lin Caisang added.

Zhe Jue beside her: “…”

Was Miss Lin really going to buy this tavern? Did she have too much money with nowhere to spend?
