Chapter 199 Intoxicating Time 2
"Shopkeeper, is this shop for sale?"
The shopkeeper then looked up and saw the young master standing next to the counter, barely taller than the counter itself. He thought the child was joking with him.
He casually said, "Young master, you're out having fun, right? Don't tease me, I'm selling this shop, but the price isn't low. If you're really interested, you should let an adult in your family make the decision."
Ziyue didn't care about the shopkeeper's attitude. She just looked him straight in the eye and said seriously, "Don't worry, shopkeeper. I can make the decision myself. Tell me, if you want to resell this shop, is 1000 gold enough?"
The shopkeeper asked in surprise, "Is the young master serious?" He had originally thought that the price would be eight hundred gold, but he did not expect the young master to add two hundred gold to the price.
Ziyue looked around and nodded naturally, "It's true."
The innkeeper immediately straightened his expression and respectfully led Ziyue to a private room upstairs. "Young master, this way please, please have a seat."
"To be honest, young master, this shop was passed down to me by my father, but I am really bad at running it. The master chef in the shop has also been poached by other restaurants, and my business is getting worse day by day."
"Seeing that the business was about to collapse, I thought of selling the shop to get some money so I could take my wife and children back to my hometown."
"My shop is in a very good location. I originally planned to sell it for 800 gold, but I can't cheat you, young master. If you offer 800 gold, the shop is yours," the shopkeeper said earnestly.
Ziyue nodded, "Okay. Then prepare the land deed, house deed, and contract. I'll send over the eight hundred gold coins this afternoon."
The shopkeeper respectfully saw Ziyue out, then turned to look at the two remaining servants in the shop, a look of guilt on his face, and let out a long sigh.
"Sigh, you two have been long-time employees of my shop. Once I successfully transfer the shop, I will settle your monthly wages in full and pay you an extra three months' wages. You two should find another job. I'm really sorry."
The two servants exchanged a glance. They were both long-time employees of the shop. Everyone else had left, but they hadn't. This was partly because the old manager had been kind to them, and partly because they had worked in the shop for so many years and had developed an attachment to it.
If the shop owner successfully transfers the business, they can leave with peace of mind.
After leaving the shop, Ziyue found a secluded spot, entered her spatial dimension, and summoned Xingchen and Xingmeng to come closer, asking them to change clothes and get dressed up.
Xingchen's appearance has changed to that of a man who looks only thirty years old, but he is muscular and looks quite intimidating.
Xingmeng's appearance is similar to that of her when she was in Linglong Pavilion. She looks to be only twenty-five years old, wearing a green dress and with her black hair tied up, looking neat and efficient.
Ziyue had lunch in the space, and when she came out in the afternoon, she brought Xingchen and Xingmeng with her.
Upon arriving at the shop, the shopkeeper felt somewhat relieved to see the two people following behind the young master he had met that morning.
At the very least, someone from his family is accompanying him, so the young master's family should also support him.
Then their deal is a done deal, and he doesn't need to worry about any unexpected changes. He can leave with his wife and children and won't have to worry about anything in the future.
With this in mind, the shopkeeper looked relaxed and smiled, and led Ziyue and her party to the government office. They quickly completed the transfer procedures and the money was exchanged.
Before leaving, Ziyue asked the shopkeeper about the renovation team. The shopkeeper said he would take care of it and guaranteed that the renovation team would come the next day.
The next morning, after the renovation workers arrived, Ziyue handed over the drawings she had made to Xingchen Xingmeng, who then coordinated with the person in charge of the renovation, explained in detail the effect she wanted, and the work began.
The shop occupies about 200 square meters. There are some tables and chairs on the first floor, private rooms on the second and third floors, and a small courtyard in the back with several side rooms, side rooms, outhouse, stables, a well, and a small pavilion.
Ziyue plans to open a small tavern. She discovers that the alcohol in this era is only grain-based, with very little fruit wine available. It is monotonous, boring, and has a low alcohol content.
Just like in her second world, she uses scarcity marketing, and her space is filled with all sorts of alcohol.
She sells baijiu, wine, red wine, beer, and various fruit wines, and she also brews her own. She plans to open her shop promptly at 11:00 AM every day and sell ten jugs of wine until they are sold out.
You know, she's been to so many small worlds, and when she encounters the modern world, she replenishes her supplies. Anyway, she's rich, so buying a hundred or two hundred million worth of supplies is no problem for her.
In addition, she also took quite a few things from countries where people were living comfortably.
This isn't stealing. She took it by her own merit, so how can it be called stealing, right?
If a child is raised but not taught, it is the father's fault; conversely, if the father is at fault, the son should bear the responsibility—that is only natural!
The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unhappy.
Okay, she admits, she was just plain unhappy with everyday life and wanted to make herself happy.
Sigh, I've gone off on a tangent.

The shop was quickly renovated. The shop was on the first floor, with only a counter at the entrance. Ten bottles of wine were placed inside the transparent glass counter, along with some small wine glasses. Several tables and chairs were placed next to the counter so that customers could sit down and enjoy their drinks.
Of course, this doesn't need to take up much space. Two side rooms are set up on the left side of the entrance to accommodate guests, just in case.
The second floor is the guest bedroom and living room. Ziyue still chose to stay on the third floor, since the view from the third floor is better. Standing higher, you can see further and have a panoramic view of half of the capital city of Dayao.
The kitchen is located in the backyard.
There was already a cellar in the backyard, and Ziyue had it expanded. She planned to put some wine jars, yeast, and other things there as a cover.
It took more than two months to complete the renovation.
At the entrance, Ziyue wrote a couplet herself: the first line reads, "True joy lies in the cup," and the second line reads, "The universe is known in wine."
The horizontal scroll reads: Come if you want, don't come if you don't want to.
The store is called "Jin Zui Yuan".
