Chapter 146 Testing the Waters of the Chang Family
This time, Tian Tian went directly to the brokerage manager and asked him to talk to Manager Chang of Baiwei Restaurant about buying the shop.
The broker looked at her with slight surprise, but then thought it was nothing out of the ordinary.
There are also cases like Tian Tian, where people directly approach the other party wanting to buy the shop.
If the other party is unwilling, then so be it.
If you're willing, then let's talk about the price.
"Second Miss, what's your approximate price range in mind...?" the brokerage manager asked.
He first gave a market price: "The front part of Baiwei Restaurant doesn't look as big as... Baishi Teahouse, but the backyard is twice the size of Baishi Teahouse."
"Back then, the Chu family sold the shop... because they were in a hurry, so the price wasn't high."
"But the young lady now wants to buy the Baiwei Restaurant... I estimate the price will be..."
He held up one index finger and waved it twice, saying, "One thousand one hundred taels."
Tian Tian nodded slightly; she could accept the price of 1,100 taels.
However, if the Chang family knew that she wanted to buy Baiwei Restaurant, the price would definitely be more than 1,100 taels...
Tian Tian thought for a moment, "Shopkeeper, you should talk to the Chang family first, and don't mention my name, Tian Tian, for now."
The brokerage manager understood. "I understand what you mean, young lady. I'll go and sound out the Chang family's opinion first."
He paused for a moment, then said, "However..."
“Miss, it’s fine to keep it from the Chang family for now, but they will find out when it comes time to process the house deed.”
Even if the second young lady has a relationship with Lord Li Huaiyuan, she doesn't need to be present in person when processing the house deed.
However, if the Chang family sees that the second daughter's name is to be written on the house deed and changes their mind at the last minute, the deal will not be done.
The brokerage manager raised his head slightly and secretly sized up Tian Tian.
Back then, Chu Xing Restaurant, Bai Wei Restaurant, and Fu Lai Restaurant were all struggling financially, but their relationships were relatively peaceful.
However, from the moment Tian Er's daughter started supplying bean curd sheets to Fu Lai Restaurant, the tripartite balance of power was broken.
Chu Xing Restaurant was the first to be eliminated, which Bai Wei Restaurant thought was a good thing for them.
As a result, Chu Xing Restaurant was transformed into Bai Shi Tea House.
After the rise of Baishi Teahouse, not to mention Baiwei Restaurant, even Fulai Restaurant's business declined somewhat.
Chang Baiwei, the young manager of Baiwei Restaurant, has been speaking ill of Miss Tian Er in private.
And last time, a former waiter from Chuxing Restaurant was wronged at Baiwei Restaurant, and Miss Tian was also present at the time.
On the surface, everything seems fine, but inside...
Tian Tian looked at the brokerage manager and said, "It doesn't matter if the Chang family finds out."
"I will not take advantage of the Chang family, and I will not lower the price."
"If they could clearly calculate the pros and cons, there would be no need for them to back out."
The brokerage shopkeeper nodded in agreement.
He had met with Miss Tian many times and they had done business together several times.
Indeed, as Tian Tian said, she never lowers prices when doing business; the price is what it should be.
In all his years in the dental business, he has rarely encountered a buyer as straightforward as Tian Tian.
“Alright!” The brokerage manager stood up and bowed. “Miss Tian, rest assured, I will definitely take care of this matter for you.”

To plant potatoes, you need 150 jin of seeds per acre.
To grow sweet potatoes, 5,000 seedlings are needed per acre.
Tian Tian bought 15,000 catties of potato seeds from the system, spending six taels of silver.
I bought 500,000 potato seedlings, and also divided them into smoked potato seedlings suitable for roasting and commercial potato seedlings with high starch content. On average, the price of each seedling was about 13 cents, and I spent 65 taels.
The seeds for 200 acres only cost 71 taels of silver, which is really a great deal.
Moreover, Tian Tian knew that potatoes could yield up to 4,000 jin per mu, and sweet potatoes could yield up to 6,000 jin per mu.
Compared to that, seventy-one taels is really nothing.
Qian Fulai came to collect the seeds at the agreed time, and he only drove a horse-drawn carriage.
"Tian Er, let's go, my carriage is ready." He shouted to Tian Tian as soon as he entered the teahouse.
Qian Haiduo, who followed him in, suddenly raised his hand and gave Qian Fulai a sharp rap on the back of the head.
"Ah..." Qian Fulai cried out in pain, clutching his head, "Father..."
Qian Haiduo snorted and walked toward Tian Tian with a loving expression, "Daughter."
"Godfather, Godmother," Tian Tian greeted them. "What brings you here?"
She took Mrs. Qian's arm and said, "My brother and I can handle the vegetable growing."
He called out "Big Brother" but glanced smugly at Qian Fulai.
This idiot has been beaten by his godfather so many times, but he still doesn't learn his lesson and keeps calling out "Tian Er, Tian Er".
"Second Sister." Qian Fulai reluctantly changed his address, his lips trembling.
“I told them not to come, but they insisted on coming, saying they wanted to see what those novel vegetable varieties looked like,” he said.
"let's go."
Tian Tian was puzzled, "Are you leaving without even transporting the seeds?"
Qian Fulai was even more puzzled than her, "Transporting seeds?"
Aren't seeds just tiny little grains that you can put in a paper bag and carry around?
Do we still need to ship it?
“The seeds are in the backyard,” Tian Tian said.
Qian Fulai waved his hand, "Then go get it."
Tian Tian frowned. "How am I supposed to hold it with just my two hands?"
So many potatoes and potato sprouts are piled up in the backyard, making it difficult to walk around.
"What's so hard about taking these? It's just two kinds of seeds." Qian Fulai walked towards the backyard. "Where are they?"
“They’re piled up right in the backyard.”
Qian Fulai went to the backyard with his head down, asking, "Where is it?"
He only saw strange, round objects placed in bamboo baskets; he counted about fifty baskets in total...
These are them.
Qian Fulai's eyes widened. "These are seeds?"
Tian Tian pointed to the round potatoes and the bundles of potato seedlings neatly arranged in the corner, "These are all seeds and seedlings, we're taking them all with us."
Qian Fulai scratched his head awkwardly; he had only driven one carriage...
Qian Haiduo followed and took a look, then turned around and said, "I'll go back and bring another carriage."
Tian Tian also had to use two horses to load all the potatoes and potato sprouts onto the truck.
The carriage hadn't gone far when a familiar voice called out from behind.
Qian Fulai recognized the voice and looked at Tian Tian with annoyance, "Why is this guy surnamed Ling acting like a little shadow?"
Before Tian Tian could say anything, Qian Haiduo flicked her forehead again.
"Didn't you follow Tian Tian around like a shadow when it came to the tofu skin thing? Aren't you a little tagalong?"
Qian Haiduo gave him a disdainful look. "You made this little bug yourself, but you won't let others make it?"
After saying that, he called for the carriage to stop and leaned out...
"Bullshit..." came out of his mouth...
He gave an awkward laugh and changed his question to, "Young Master Ling, what can I do for you?"
