The next day, Zhao Ce took the money and banknotes and prepared to go to Yahang to buy another shop.

Qiu Shubai also brought money and planned to rent the yard he had scouted yesterday.

The two of them were about to go out together when they saw a young man in his twenties coming towards them with his servants.

Zhao Ce looked at these people. Except for Butler Du, whom he had met in the store yesterday, they all looked unfamiliar to him and he seemed to have never seen them before.

When the young master came to him, he directly raised his hands and said, "This must be the young three-yuan winner of this child test, Mr. Zhao Ce and Zhao, right?"

Hearing this voice, Zhao Ce's eyes flashed.

Fortunately, I actually remember this voice.

When he came to take the Taoist examination earlier, he heard on the boat that two people were transporting salt to Fucheng, intending to hoard it and sell it at a high price.

The person in front of me is the other person besides Mr. Lu who said he wanted to slap him to death.

Zhao Ce remembered that this person should be named Du.

At that time, the two men's conversation revealed that they were dissatisfied with their previous plan to raise food prices in the neighboring county.

It has only been more than a month since the two men talked on the boat. Is it possible that they have forgotten this?

Zhao Ce looked at this real person again.

This man's eyes are not big, but there is a sparkle inside, which makes him look shrewd.

Sure enough, after the man finished speaking, he glanced at Qiu Shubai next to Zhao Ce, and took the initiative to introduce himself.

"My surname is Du. I heard that Mr. Zhao took a fancy to my shop yesterday and asked my Du family's butler to prepare a contract."

"It's just that my servants didn't recognize Taishan yesterday. Because of some trivial matters, they didn't immediately sign a contract with Mr. Zhao. I'm really sorry."

Zhao Ce looked at him with a fake smile on his face: "Why did Mr. Du come to visit you this time?"

Mr. Du shook the fan in his hand and said sincerely: "Yesterday I learned that the servants in my family had neglected Master Sanyuan. I felt so guilty that I couldn't sleep all night."

While he was talking, Butler Du, who was behind Mr. Du, quickly stood up and apologized to Zhao Ce.

Zhao Ce looked at them with indifferent eyes, waiting for Mr. Du to continue speaking.

After Butler Du finished apologizing, Mr. Du said, "Isn't it so early that someone inquired about Mr. Zhao's residence and came to you to apologize?"

"I also brought the land deed of the store. If Mr. Zhao doesn't mind, can we go in and discuss it in detail?"

Qiu Shubai glanced at Zhao Ce and didn't know how to react to the enthusiastic Mr. Du.

However, thinking of the attitude of He Guanyu, the manager of the dental shop yesterday, he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Although Zhao Ce is just a scholar now, everyone knows that he will have a bright future in the future.

With such a person, it is understandable for others to want to have a good relationship with him.

Well, didn't the owner of the shop rush over yesterday to do business with Zhao Ce?

Zhao Ce didn't know what he was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Please come in with me."

After finishing speaking, he said to Qiu Shubai: "Brother Shubai, please wait for me to deal with this matter first?"

Qiu Shubai expressed his understanding and said: "Then I will go and read Huishu first, and when you are well, let Xiao Fangzi call me."

Zhao Ce agreed and led Mr. Du and his party into the house.

Neither Su Cai'er nor Mr. Lu in the house could have imagined that they would be back so soon.

"Husband, why are you back?"

Su Cai'er saw her husband entering the door and hurriedly greeted him.

As I got closer, I saw a group of people behind my husband.

Mr. Du shook the folding fan in his hand, glanced at Su Cai'er, and said with a smile: "This must be Mrs. Zhao, right?"

"My surname is Du."

"Yesterday I heard that Mr. Zhao has taken a fancy to my shop, and I came here specifically to sign a contract with you today."

Su Cai'er gave him a puzzled look.

Then I saw that after Mr. Du finished speaking, his eyes unconsciously moved to Mrs. Lu behind him.

Lu received his look and frowned slightly.

Mr. Du quickly moved his eyes away, but couldn't help but take another look.

Zhao Ce pulled Su Cai'er in front of him, lowered his head and said, "You go in first and let Xiao Fangzi bring out a few bowls of tea."

With so many foreign men, Su Cai'er couldn't stay for long.

She nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he quickly took Mr. Lu out of the main room.

Mr. Du's eyes glanced at the two people's backs before looking away.

Zhao Ce looked at him with a trace of disgust in his eyes before he said, "Master Du, please sit down."

Mr. Du sat down and Xu Fang brought tea to several people.

After Mr. Du drank the tea, he said slowly: "Mr. Zhao, please forgive me, it was indeed my servant who did not do his job well yesterday."

Then, he took the wooden box handed over by the butler behind him, opened it and took out a land deed inside.

The land deed was pushed directly in front of Zhao Ce. Mr. Du smiled and said, "This is the land deed for my shop."

"Since Mr. Zhao already agreed yesterday, let's sign the contract today?"

Zhao Ce looked at the land deed in his hand, but he still had no idea what kind of medicine this man was selling in his gourd.

However, he sniffed it and then glanced at the wooden box.

He said: "Master Du is polite, but isn't this not good?"

"Yesterday I heard that you had already made an agreement with the Liu family, and now you have signed a contract with me."

"A gentleman doesn't take away what others like, because I think this is not good."

Mr. Du spoke beautifully, but Zhao Ce said it in a cowardly manner.

Seeing Zhao Ce like this, Master Du quickly said: "Master Zhao is naturally a gentleman, but I am not a villain in vain."

"Master Zhao, don't worry, I have already made an agreement with the Liu family."

"The Liu family heard that it was Mr. Zhao, and they generously expressed their willingness to part ways with him."

"Now that everything has been negotiated, Mr. Zhao doesn't have to worry about anything involved."

Zhao Ce glanced at him and said, "This is still not good."

"To be honest, I went to visit another store later. That store was located at the other end of the East Market, but it was on the street, and the price was not much more expensive than Mr. Du's store."

"Since Mr. Du's family has already made an agreement with the Liu family, I will buy that one."

After Zhao Ce finished speaking, he wanted to stand up and see off the guests.

Mr. Du quickly held his arm and asked, "What's the price of the shop that Mr. Zhao is interested in?"

Zhao Ce said truthfully: "The price quoted by Yaxing is 900 taels."

After hearing this, Mr. Du gritted his teeth and said: "The location of my shop is not very good, so let's do this, I will give you another 100 taels off!"

Zhao Ce paused, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Master Du is quite generous."
