Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 34.3: The Prodigal Son (71)

Shao Xiaocao nodded vigorously and patiently listened to how Shao Yu judged.

 

It was almost noon, and the father and daughter were hungry after running around for a whole morning. Shao Yu took his daughter directly to a famous restaurant in the city.

 

“I’ve eaten too much home-cooked food, so I occasionally come out to change my taste.” Shao Yu said with a smile.

 

This restaurant is very large and very luxuriously decorated. In order to make his daughter feel more, Shao Yu did not choose a private room, but took her to eat in the lobby.

 

There were many people eating in the restaurant, but it was not very noisy. Shao Xiaocao sat inside and couldn’t help but lower her voice. She looked around and felt that even the people eating in the lobby rarely spoke while eating, and their movements were all slow.

 

When she saw the price on the menu, she was dumbfounded and whispered to Shao Yu: “Dad, don’t eat here, this bowl of green vegetables costs three coins, enough to buy two hundred catties of vegetables.”

 

“It’s fine, I can afford it.” Shao Yu replied.

 

Shao Xiaocao was comforted a little, but she didn’t dare to continue ordering, so she ordered such a plate of vegetables.

 

On the contrary, Shao Yu ordered a few dishes very casually.

 

“These dishes are all signature dishes, and they are rare to come out. You should try them.” Shao Yu said.

Shao Xiaocao couldn’t help but feel a pain in her heart when she calculated the price.

 

Seeing her like this, Shao Yu laughed and said, “I’ve already ordered it, and we can’t return it. You might as well enjoy it.”

 

Shao Xiaocao smiled reluctantly.

 

This restaurant is expensive, but the dishes are served quickly. Shao Xiaocao dared to start eating only after Shao Yu started to eat.

 

After eating a chopstick of green vegetables, Shao Xiaocao’s face was full of doubts, and she said softly, “It’s not as delicious as dad’s, how dare they charge such an expensive price.”

Shao Yu said: “You can try other dishes.”

 

Shao Xiaocao tasted them one by one with doubts. Although these dishes tasted good, in her opinion, they were all far inferior to her father’s craftsmanship.

 

“Not as good as Daddy’s.” Shao Xiaocao said very honestly.

 

The corners of Shao Yu’s mouth twitched slightly and said, “Aside from the comparison, do you think it’s delicious?”

 

Shao Xiaocao’s mouth has long been nurtured by Shao Yu’s food. After hearing this, she said, “It’s okay.”

“This taste is already very good.” Shao Yu said.

 

“But it can’t be sold so expensively, isn’t this a scam?” Shao Xiaocao was very puzzled.

 

“Look at this place.” Shao Yu said.

 

Shao Xiaocao looked around. The restaurant was luxuriously decorated. The shopkeepers in each shop wore uniform clothes, all clean and tidy, and everyone had a faint smile on their faces.

 

Shao Xiaocao’s ear suddenly sounded again.

She looked for fame and saw that on the table in the middle of the restaurant, someone had already started singing and dancing.

 

“Look there.” Shao Yu pointed.

 

Shao Xiaocao saw a piece of calligraphy, which was a piece of cursive calligraphy.

 

Shao Xiaocao saw a word, it was a pair of wild grass.

 

“It was written by a famous artist, and this one alone is worth hundreds of taels.” Shao Yu added: “There are many more such calligraphy and paintings here.”

Shao Xiaocao looked around and saw a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging in the restaurant. If what Shao Yu said was true, then these calligraphy and paintings alone would be worth a lot of money.

 

“This is the most prosperous area of ​​​​Nanzhou City, the price is also the highest in Nanzhou City, the dishes are good, and the environment is good. These combination become its unique advantage, so it can sell at such a high price.”

 

“Eating here is not only a taste of delicious food, but also a status symbol, so people are willing to pay such a high price.”

 

Shao Xiaocao listened thoughtfully.

 

Shao Yu did not continue, the father and daughter finished the meal quietly.

 

The western suburbs are mostly wasteland, Shao Yu did not go directly, but went to Yaren first to find out the situation of that piece of land.

 

“It’s strange, the western suburbs are all wasteland, but there are quite a few people asking about it recently.” The guarantor sighed.

 

Shao Yu casually found a reason to round it up.

 

The guarantor just said it casually, without thinking much, and took Shao Yu to find the owner of the land.

 

The wasteland in the western suburbs does not belong to any one person. At this time, a lot of land here has been sold, and Shao Yu has not many options now.

 

Shao Yu knew that the most important piece of land had been requisitioned by the government, and now the best land was occupied by those who got the insider information ahead of time.

 

“Dad, where do we buy now?” Shao Xiaocao asked.

 

Shao Yu stood on the vacant land, and a map slowly emerged in his mind. The closer to the gate of the prefectural school, the better the location, but these places have been bought by others, and it is difficult to get this piece of fat from these people.

 

Shao Yu thought for a while, then walked for a thousand kilometers in the direction of returning to the city, and then stopped.

 

This place is quite far from Xinfuxue.

 

“I want this piece of land.” Shao Yu delineated a wide range.

 

The people saw that he was generous and thought that he would make a lot of money immediately, so they were very active and quickly called the sellers over.

 

The land in the western suburbs has been selling very well recently, and these sellers naturally have the intention of raising prices of the land.

 

“The land in the western suburbs is easy to sell, but there are very few people asking about the price here, right?” Shao Yu is not a vegetarian, and he directly hit these people with one sentence.

 

Almost every seller of the land near Fuxue has been asked the price several times, and there are very few people asking the price.

 

“I can add 10% to the market price, you can sell it if you sell it, and forget it if you don’t sell it.” Shao Yu said.

 

Shao Xiaocao was a little nervous when she heard this, although the buyer was Shao Yu, but they actually spent their money, in other words, the business also had her part.

 

The sellers still wanted to raise the price, but Shao Yu’s attitude was very firm, and with the persuasion of Yaren, Shao Yu finally won this large piece of land nearby.

 

Shao Yu got the land, but Shao Dabao was in trouble.

 

He finally arrived at this place called “Xiao Tao Village”. He thought that he would be able to sell a lot in this traffic-congested village, but he was greeted coldly.

 

The people in this village were not happy about the salesman’s arrival, but seemed to avoid him.

 

People here were unwilling to buy things, so Shao Dabao should have left directly, but when he thought about how everyone here seemed to be worried, as if there were a lot of troubles, Shao Dabao said: “Think about what you can do for others”, so Shao Dabao stayed and wanted to find out.

 

Shao Dabao paid to stay in a fellow villager’s home, and the fellow villager received the money, but smiled happily, but when Shao Dabao tried to sell goods to him, he immediately changed his face and said, “Where can I buy these I would never buy anything.”

 

After saying that, the fellow villager directly put the accommodation fee he had just received into his arms, as if he was afraid that Shao Dabao would give him the money back again.

 

Shao Dabao immediately collected the contents of the cargo box.

 

Seeing him like this, the fellow returned to normal.

 

“It seems that everyone in your village is frowning. Why is that?” Shao Dabao asked curiously.
