From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 795: Chapter 791: Taking Over the Restaurant (Part 1)

The wood is indeed good wood. After Lu Yuanfeng looked it over, he immediately discussed it with Mu Shuangshuang.

Wood from the countryside is naturally cheap, and since this batch was being sold urgently, the two of them managed to acquire it at a very low price.

Mu Shuangshuang paid a deposit of two hundred coins, and as soon as the remaining amount was settled, they could arrange for someone to transport the wood.

The three chatted a bit more and then said goodbye to Ge Sandan.

On the way, Mu Shuangshuang talked to Lu Yuanfeng about the matter between Old Mrs. Ge and Xiuxiu, still with a face full of regret.

The old lady is nice, just too obsessed with her grandson’s affairs!

Even Mu Shuangshuang found it somewhat frightening!

”Fengzi, if the two of us get married someday and I have a daughter, you won’t dislike me, right?” Mu Shuangshuang asked half-jokingly, tightening her small fist, waiting for Lu Yuanfeng to say something unsatisfactory so she could punch him and show her strength.

Lu Yuanfeng blushed, stared at Mu Shuangshuang for a long time before speaking, ”I like daughters, and... it’d be best if she looks like Shuangshuang!”

”Why is it better if she looks like me?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”Because Shuangshuang is beautiful!” Lu Yuanfeng replied earnestly.

”Hahaha...” Mu Shuangshuang belatedly burst into laughter.

Lu Yuanfeng is really adorable, though he doesn’t talk much, he always keeps her in his heart.

This man is quite good!

”By the way, Fengzi, my eldest cousin needs pork for his wedding, and you promised him. Shall we go hunting in the mountains, or buy it in the town?” Mu Shuangshuang asked, switching to a serious expression.

Mu Shuangshuang’s betrothal is on the twelfth of the lunar month, and Mu Dalang’s is on the eighteenth. If they weren’t so far apart, the thirty pounds of meat at Shuangshuang’s house could have been used for Mu Dalang first.

”Let’s take a stroll in the mountains. If we can’t catch anything, we’ll buy it in town.”

”Alright! I also want to check that Fulin Restaurant being transferred; when shall we go?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”Why not go as soon as we get back?”

Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang don’t like procrastinating. Once a decision is made, they act on it promptly.

”Okay, but we’ll borrow a horse from Uncle Fu’s house, we’ll ride to get there faster!”

The most common way for Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng to go to town was by walking, but it wasn’t early today. If they walked, by the time they returned, it would be dark.

They rushed home; it was still early. Lu Yuanfeng helped dig the foundation at the worksite, while Mu Shuangshuang helped Yu Si Niang make lunch.

Time flew; after lunch, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng quickly headed to town.

Mu Shuangshuang knew Fulin Restaurant, it’s two streets apart from Xue Yi’s First-class Residence, and quite close to Ah Ru’s fabric store.

It was still summer back then, and the business at Fulin Restaurant seemed fine, which is normal since Xiuxiu mentioned her brother earned money during that time.

Usually, it takes about an hour to get there, but with a horse, it only takes two incense sticks’ time.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng tied the horse under the big tree at the entrance of Fulin Restaurant and informed the waiter before heading inside.

Inside the restaurant, since it wasn’t mealtime, there were barely any diners amidst the bustling atmosphere. As soon as Mu Shuangshuang entered, the waiter greeted them.

”Are you here to dine, guest? We have many delicacies unavailable in Qingshan Town. Shall I report the menu for you?”

Ancient restaurants didn’t have menus; what was considered a menu was actually what the waiter verbally conveyed.

All dishes were introduced verbally, allowing every diner to know.

Mu Shuangshuang had kept a plan; when her restaurant opens, she’d definitely place a menu at each table, letting those who can read order themselves, while those who can’t would hear the menu read aloud.

”Waiter, we’re here to meet your shopkeeper; is he here?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”Yes, our shopkeeper is on the second floor; may I ask what you need, guest?” the waiter asked.

”I heard your restaurant is being transferred, is that true?” Mu Shuangshuang asked with a smile.

”Please follow me, guests!”

The waiter led them to a private room on the second floor, where the shopkeeper appeared surprised upon seeing Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.

Their attire was quite ordinary, common among rural folk, and not new.

The shopkeeper hesitated whether to do business with Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.

”Shopkeeper, we’re interested in discussing the transfer of your restaurant. Is your restaurant really being transferred?”

Actually, without Mu Shuangshuang asking, the shopkeeper indeed planned to transfer it. He had opened another larger restaurant in the county, and had lost interest in this one, originally planning to transfer it after the New Year if anyone wanted it; it’d be fine to transfer it directly now.

”Young lady, are you sure you want to take over the restaurant with this young man? You both look so young, should you call your parents over?”

The shopkeeper had been in the restaurant business for years; no one familiar was in front of him, so even if they brought money, he had to consider if it was legitimate.

Otherwise, if legal troubles arose, he’d have a hard time dealing with it.

”Shopkeeper, I know what you’re worried about; take a look at this!” Mu Shuangshuang pulled out two contracts from her pocket.

One was for her popcorn distribution contract, the other was Mu Shuangshuang’s contract with First-class Residence and Xue Zheng.

These two items were enough to prove Mu Shuangshuang’s identity, not some heinous villain.

The shopkeeper’s expression towards Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang changed instantly after reviewing the contracts.

”So, you are the girl who delivered cold noodles to Jiu Si Xuan; many of us in the restaurant business have been wanting to find you.”

Mu Shuangshuang’s cold noodles were sold exclusively, and in limited supply; many restaurants wanted to contact her for additional supply rights.

Even after Mu Shuangshuang ceased cooperation with Jiu Si Xuan, several restaurants sought her out to no avail, as she ultimately declined them all.

”Shopkeeper, you praise me too much!” Mu Shuangshuang’s face reddened slightly, looking somewhat shy.

Yet deep down, she truly felt no embarrassment.

After all, her face was thick-skinned enough, but for business purposes, she tried to appear more polite and graceful.

The shopkeeper laughed heartily at Mu Shuangshuang’s words.

”The young lady suits my taste; she’s courteous, knows her way around. Just like that, I won’t charge you a hundred taels. Most items in the restaurant remain with you, including pots, pans, and staff including waiters and stewards.

Of course, you can dismiss them and I’ll cover the severance costs.”
