Chapter 211: Not Eating Is More of a Loss
Lin Yinan didn't care what their purpose was, he just wanted to get the food first.
Chen Gu took out the contract that had been drafted long ago, and Lin Yiheng asked the secret guard to go to the warehouse to get the silver and paid the deposit, and the matter was settled.
After finishing his work, Chen Gu proposed to visit Longtan County.
Even though Lin Yinan said that the county town had not yet been repaired, he insisted on going to take a look.
Lin Yinan asked the secret guard to call Wu Xingwang and his son to accompany him.
Wu Xingwang first took him to see their new house.
Looking at the neat and imposing rows of houses, Chen Gu asked curiously, "Are you selling these houses?"
Wu Xingwang frowned at his serious expression and said with a smile, "Master Chen, we don't even have a house to live in. We live in these houses ourselves and we won't sell them."
After saying this, he straightened his chest unconsciously. In the future, he would also live in such a unique house. Moreover, his house was specially approved by the city lord and he paid for it himself, so it would be bigger than these ones.
More than half of the shops along the street have been restored, and Longtan County is now thriving.
Chen Gu grew up following his father in the business world since he was a child. He saw that Longtan County would surely regain its prosperity in the near future.
So, he went back to discuss with Lin Yinan, "Lord City Lord, on behalf of the Chen family, I want to buy the management rights of Longtan Street."
Wu Xingwang and his son were shocked to hear his outrageous request, and looked at Lin Yinan nervously, fearing that she would agree.
Lin Yinan gave them a calming look, and said in a calm voice without any emotion, "Young Master Chen, thank you for your attention to Longtan County. We will not sell any shops in Longtan County, and we will run them all by ourselves in the future."
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, picked up the water in the cup, took a sip, and continued, "But in view of the Chen family's generosity, I can give you the right to use three stores for ten years. The location is decided by us."
"Only three rooms?" Chen Gu felt a little regretful.
Lin Yinan looked at him with clear and firm eyes, "Yes, there are no more. You also know that Longtan County is not big. Three is the limit."
"Three is enough. When will we come to inspect it?"
Chen Gu was a little impatient, as he liked to have the first taste of the delicious soup.
Lin Yinan said, "The earliest would be after next year."
"Ah! We have to wait another half a year?" Chen Gu was surprised. "Haven't the shops been repaired more than halfway?"
Lin Yinan looked at him with a smile, "Young Master Chen, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Chen Gu quickly stood up and bowed, "In that case, I will listen to the Lord City Lord. It's late today. I wonder if the Lord City Lord can only let me stay in the city for one night, and we will leave the city tomorrow morning."
Lin Yinan looked at Yunye, and Yunye nodded slightly, indicating that there was no threat among the people brought by Chen Gu.
"Of course, our canteen provides free meals. Young Master Chen, if you don't mind, you can have one meal."
There are also free meals. Chen Gu immediately smiled and said, "Don't mind, don't mind."
What a joke! He sold so much food at a low price. Of course he would eat the free meal. If he didn't eat it, wouldn't he be at a loss?
After Yunye and Yunyi took Chen Gu and his followers away, Wu Xingwang and his son were still sitting there as steady as a rock.
Wu Xingwang is still strong, but no longer as fat as he was when we first met. His shrewd eyes have become much bigger, making him look more energetic.
Lin Yinan knew what they were thinking. Seeing the shops in the county town being repaired bit by bit, and the promise she made to the Chen family today, he couldn't sit still.
Seeing the father and son looking at her expectantly, Lin Yinan smiled and said, "Boss Wu, Longtan has been very successful these days thanks to the hard work of you two."
After she said that, Wu Xingwang felt embarrassed and said modestly, "No, Longtan County will also be my home in the future. It is my duty to contribute to my family."
The Wu family was protected by the Yun family along the way, so they were able to stay here safe and sound. He is not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity.
Moreover, the relationships among the aristocratic families in the South are complicated, and he doesn't dare to leave rashly as he has no one to rely on.
Lin Yinan glanced at Wu Yuan. He had been running in and out with Wu Xingwang these days, and he seemed a lot calmer.
She didn't keep the secret and slowly said, "Longtan County is not big, there are only a few streets in total. I have discussed it with Yun Mo and the others."
When Wu Xingwang and his son heard this, they felt uneasy.
Then Lin Yinan continued, "We plan to let you pick five shops first."
The father and son looked at each other with joy in their eyes, and hurriedly stood up to salute.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"
Lin Yinan had plans for Wu Xingwang and his son, but she had to ask for their opinions first.
"Sit down and tell me what your plans are for the future."
After being together for so long, Wu Xingwang knew Lin Yinan and the others' style of doing things very well, so he did not hide what he was thinking.
"Longtan County will soon be restored. I want to buy a few shops in the surrounding counties to do some small business. Farming is not our specialty, so we can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor."
Lin Yinan, "My suggestion is to wait until after the Chinese New Year before taking action."
Wu Xingwang's eyes lit up, "Does the Lord City Lord have any plans?"
Lin Yinan nodded, "We want you to help us promote the sea salt we made at this time."
"Salt?" Wu Xingwang's heart began to beat fast, and he suspected that he was hallucinating.
"I wonder if Boss Wu is interested?"
Wu Xingwang was still in a daze, and Wu Yuan tugged at his sleeve.
"Yes, yes!" Wu Xingwang nodded excitedly like a chick pecking at rice.
"If you have any difficulties, please raise them and we will find a way to solve them for you." Lin Yinan said.
Wu Xingwang quickly shook his head, "Not yet. The canteen provides free food and drinks. We are taking advantage of the city lord."
Lin Yinan talked to him about the future development of Longtan County.
After comforting Wu Xingwang and his son, Lin Yinan and Lin Yiheng went to the warehouse, put out the rice seeds, and stocked the warehouse with silver for several months.
On a summer morning, the sun shines gently on the earth, the breeze blows through the rice fields, the air is filled with a fresh scent, and birds sing happily in the treetops.
People began to get busy, and a new day began in this beautiful time.
After breakfast, Chen Gu came to say goodbye to Lin Yinan.
"Lord Chengrang, after seeing the house your lord built yesterday, Chen shamelessly wants to ask Lord Chengrang if he could sell me one."
Chen Gu's words reminded Lin Yinan that real estate development is an indispensable economic pillar for urban development. In the future, the development of Longtan will inevitably attract many merchants.
She has already planned the first step, followed by supporting real estate, medical care and education.
Lin Yinan smiled and said, "No problem, Young Master Chen will naturally be allowed to choose first."
"In that case, Chen would like to thank the City Lord for his kindness!"
Chen Gu came with his people full of expectations and left with joy.
After returning to the room to feed the child who had just woken up, Lin Yinan took out the map of Longtan County and opened it to study it carefully.
