Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 17 I'm afraid of encountering a black shop run by an expert

The renovation work is progressing smoothly and the shop is looking better and better.

That evening, Shen You finished discussing various rectification issues with the foreman and opened the [Da Qi] store as usual.

It was still the deserted alley, and a carriage that was low-key on the outside but luxurious on the inside was parked outside.

"Is this the place?" a male voice sounded.

"That's right." The subordinate reported, "Master Zhang was struck by lightning here last time.

The food for the porridge shop was also shipped out from here, but I don’t know how they got in.”

"waste."

The calm voice of the person in the car made his men shudder, and he quickly added, "However, it is said that only Liu Zheng and Zhong Jing went in."

Two people?
Is this the key to getting in?
The man in the carriage opened the curtain and stepped down on the servant's back, "Let's go and see what's going on."

Walking to the deepest part of the alley, a wooden door with a strange style comes into view in the yard.

The subordinate gritted his teeth and pushed the door open. He was terribly scared and didn't dare show it at all.

Being struck by lightning can still survive, but disobeying the special envoy will result in death no matter how many lives you have.

There was no expected thunder and lightning, and the door opened unexpectedly.

The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly, "Sir, the door is open."

The envoy narrowed his eyes and pointed at a trusted hand, "You come in with me, and the rest of you stay outside to guard."

"Yes."

The two men walked through the doorway and entered the store while looking warily at the unfamiliar courtyard around them.

The first thing that caught my eyes was a cold white smoke, and the first thing that echoed in my ears was a strange yet somewhat pleasant piece of music.

But they didn't see anyone playing music. They only saw a woman fiddling with something, and she didn't sing.

This is so horrible. I can hear the music but I can't see the person playing it.

Shen You waved the white mist emitted by the fish pond mist maker. She originally wanted to buy one and turn it on to create some atmosphere when the shop was finished renovating.

The merchant has repeatedly guaranteed that it is absolutely easy to use.

Indeed, once it was turned on, it was like crazy, white mist suddenly came out and could not be turned off.

When she finally closed the door and stood up, she saw the two guests' expressions of doubt about their lives.

"Welcome to my shop, feel free to look around." The system settings voice sounded.

Shen You went to the counter and stopped the song playing on the laptop. The two men looked at her with even more fear.

"Did you hear someone singing just now?" The envoy lowered his voice.

"Hear, I heard it." None of the men dared to let go of the knives at their waists.

The envoy looked at the various strange things on the shelf and calmed down. "Did you give Yunzhou the food?"

People who have been in high positions for a long time always have a certain degree of scrutiny in their words and deeds.

"To be precise, it was bought from me." Shen You corrected in a calm tone.

"I see there is no food in your store." The envoy put his hands behind his back and looked at every corner of the store with his sharp eyes.

Shen You understood that this was an attempt to test her.
"Did you see the store before you came in? Same thing." She slowly raised her eyes, "You shouldn't ask anything else. Just leave if you don't buy anything."

Seeing her calm and composed look, the envoy's doubts disappeared.

This is what a true master is like.

This time I came to the right place!

"I am a special envoy sent by the court, and I want to ask you for the elixir that can prolong your life."

Shen You:? ? Do you think she is a turtle in the wishing well?

"No."

When the special envoy heard this, he didn't believe it. How could they take out so much food out of thin air overnight? With such great ability, how could they not have just a few pills?

"Didn't the girl give the prince medicine before?"

The prince cured the only young master of the Lu family in Lianzhou. The military power in the hands of the Lu family is real! It is said that the medicine used has never been seen by anyone. It was given by this female shopkeeper.

Shen You: "That's just medicine for wounds and colds."

The special envoy looked at Shen You doubtfully, "The alchemists in the palace can all make elixirs that can restore virility and prolong life, why can't you, young lady?"

"I am a businessman, not an alchemist. The elixirs made by alchemists are not suitable for consumption. They use so much cinnabar. If you consume too much, you will die quickly."

The envoy thought that this would be a difficult task for him to handle.

"If the young lady is willing to go to the capital with me, there will be no shortage of rare treasures for her."

Shen You shook her head, "I don't want to."

The envoy's face darkened. He looked like he was going to use force, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally did not let his men take action.

I only spent fifty taels of gold to buy a bottle of Fengyoujing and four ibuprofen pills from Shen You.

The price is so high because Shen You dislikes Lao Deng.

The moment the two people walked out, the yard returned to normal and the shop disappeared.

The special envoy, who was flattered by everyone in the capital, had a layer of cold sweat on his back.

The look in the female shopkeeper's eyes at the end seemed to say, "You dare to leave here without spending money and try."

Only then did he wisely take out his money and ask what medicine he could buy.

This female shopkeeper can open such a mysterious store and can also summon thunder at will. She can deal with ordinary people with just a flick of her finger.

You can't even leave the store without paying!

I'm not afraid of encountering a shady shop, but I'm afraid of encountering a shady shop run by a master!
Shen You sat at the counter, looking happily at the gold ingots she had just received, and exchanged them for cash through the system.

Thinking that the deal could not be done today, she wanted the other party to leave quickly and not waste time, but she didn't expect him to suddenly take out a gold ingot and slam it on the table.

Well, making money makes her happy.

-

Two days later, the yard was almost renovated.

Use crushed gravel and bluestone slabs to create landscaping, plant grass and Acer palmatum trees, and place antique stone lanterns and solar lights next to them.

I hung rain chains on the eaves, placed ceramic pots underneath to plant lotus flowers and raise koi, and also bought an assembled pavilion online and put an elm tea table in it.

Next to them are the red plums and crabapples that Shen You likes.

In addition to wanting to live comfortably, you also want to gain a foothold in the antique street, so you still need a shop front.

The ordinary carved lattice windows in Xingmao Garden are all antiques, and that small piece of wood carving costs tens of thousands of yuan.

Shen You bought a small window with modern craftsmanship. After haggling with the owner online for half a day, he finally got it for 800 yuan.

The door has an old-fashioned feel, so she didn't change it for fear that old customers wouldn't be able to recognize it.

It is absolutely not okay to cut off your own source of income!

The store's yard has changed a lot, and the door cannot be closed during renovation, so neighbors passing by couldn't help but take a second look.

"You spent a lot of money to make this yard so beautiful, right?"

Shen You: "Fortunately, many things are purchased online. Those flower seedlings were sold at 16.9 for two in the live broadcast room, and the shipping was free."

Most of the neighbors were very polite and just stood at the door and asked her for the link. Shen You was also happy to share and taught the retired old man how to grab discounted flower seedlings.

It’s just that some people have no sense of boundaries.

Just as they were watching, the grandmother who brought the little boy in, the two of them, reached out to pluck the flowers that she had planted early in the morning, and said that her sister wouldn't mind if they picked a flower.

Of course I mind. Flower growers can’t stand this!

Shen You smiled and took out a sign: 100 yuan per flower.

The other party immediately dragged the child out, cursing.

"Sister, you said you were cheated by the renovation and you didn't know it. My nephew knows a little bit, why don't you let him help you take a look? It happens that he is here today."

Sister Cui said this without waiting for Shen You's consent, and stood at the door to call her nephew over.
