There was another one. It was a very small shop that used to sell wonton. Although it had two floors, the second floor was a small attic that was used to keep storage. The first floor was the main hall, but it could only fit four to five tables. There was no space for more.

There was also a small courtyard at the back with a well. There were also wing rooms in the backyard, but there were only two small ones.

The reason Xue Sifu liked this small shop was that it was located on the second busiest street in town.

The most prosperous street in the town was the street where Lakshmi Restaurant was located, and the street where this small shop was located was the street next to Lakshmi Restaurant.

In fact, Xue Sifu wanted to buy a shop on the most prosperous street, but there were always many people on that street, and every shop’s business was good. Therefore, no one was willing to sell their shop, so Xue Sifu could only choose other streets.

Take this small shop as an example. Although it was small, because it was on the second busiest street in the town, it would still cost 600 silver to buy it.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan accompanied Xue Sifu to look around the two shops before asking Xue Sifu, “What do you think?”

“I’ve already thought about it last night, I’ll buy the inn!” Xue Sifu laughed.

“Aren’t you afraid that business will be bad?” Jiang Yue looked at him. This street was really not bustling. Many people who came to this street were basically coming for the Shen Medical Center. In other words, they were here to see the doctor, not eat.

“I’m afraid so, but I’ll have to think of a way to get people to come. There should still be business.” Xue Sifu’s eyes curved again like a fox. “Besides, I want to open a branch in the county in the future. The main shop can’t be small. How can I do anything inside if there’s no space? The inn is big enough to hold everything I need.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan exchanged a look. The shop hadn’t even opened yet, but he was already thinking of opening another branch.

It was clear that Sifu was no longer satisfied with the small business in town.

“Let’s go, we’ll buy that inn,” Xue Sifu said as he led Jiang Yue and Xue Yan back to the inn.

They had just come out of the wonton shop.

After walking two streets, they arrived at the inn.

The owner of the inn thought that they weren’t going to buy it and started to worry. When he saw them coming again, he was sure that they were going to buy it. The owner, who was in urgent need of money, was afraid that they would regret it, so he quickly wrote the document for the sale of the inn. Both parties signed and stamped their thumbprints, and each person had a copy of the document as a receipt. Then, he handed over the money and the house deed of the inn.

The inn had already closed for business and the owner had taken everything that could be taken away. The inn was now empty. Once the owner left with the money, the inn would naturally belong to the Xue family.

However, this inn was around for quite some time. Some parts were damaged and needed to be repaired or modified.

“When we open the restaurant,” Xue Sifu said as he led Jiang Yue and Xue Yan upstairs, “Some of the rooms upstairs can be changed into private rooms. If the people downstairs can’t sit, we can also let people sit in the private rooms upstairs. The downstairs is so big that if business is good, the downstairs will probably be full. We still have to sell ice on a hot day next year, so it will definitely be full. I won’t have to go back every day anymore now that there’s so many rooms. I can stay on the second floor.” The people he hires will stay in the few rooms in the backyard, which will be more than enough room for everyone. “There are definitely a few rooms left on the second floor. If there’s someone at home that can’t go back, they can use this room..”
