Chapter 459: Chapter 459 Looking After The Shop

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

They were surprised to find this shop so far from their residence on the city’s east side. They eventually found it after traveling all the way to the city’s commercial street in the north.

However, looking at the flow of people on the street, the shops here were situated pretty well.

Their shop was just around the corner, with many people passing by. Moreover, judging from the signage, it must have been a high-end restaurant in the past.

Alas, looking at the layer of dust on the tables inside, it seemed that it had been closed for quite some time.

The couple walked to the silk shop next door, and Gu Chengrui asked the shop assistant inside, “Little buddy, when did the restaurant next door close?”

“It’s been locked up for a year. Who are you?” The shop assistant asked.

“Oh, this shop is ours now, so we came to get to know our neighbors.”

“All, you are Scholar Gu.”

“I didn’t expect you to be so well-informed. Were you expecting us?”

“In the morning, some bailiffs came over and said that this restaurant was given to Scholar Gu by the Emperor. They asked us to stop some people from asking too much.”

“Who owned this shop before? Why did such a great shop close down?” Zhou Ying asked.

“We don’t know who it belongs to, but the reason it closed down was relatively straightforward. There was a lack of ingredients, and their food prices were too high.

“With such a vicious cycle, the family running it wasn’t earning any money.

“I think they closed down after the snowstorm last year?”

“I see. Thank you, little brother.”

“You’re welcome. Are you planning to run the restaurant after you take over?”

“Why? Are you craving some good food?”

“Yeah, it’s convenient to eat if there’s a restaurant right next to us.”

“That’s true, but as you said, the food supply is still limited. I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a little longer.

“But I’ll open back up as soon as possible. I’ll treat you to a big meal then.”

“I’ll remember that.”

“No problem. You go ahead with your work while I go in and look.” Gu Chengrui walked to the restaurant with Zhou Ying, unlocked the doors, and pushed them open.

Suddenly, a cloud of dust hit their faces, making the two cough as they took two steps back. They waited for the dust to settle before walking in.

This restaurant was huge, with the upper and lower floors combined covering about 4.00 square meters. Moreover, the windows were large, making the room brightly lit.

However, it was dirty all over because it had been closed for a long time.

There was also a small courtyard at the back with six rooms and a well, which was convenient.

“We can open for business after a simple clean-up.” Gu Chengrui said after sizing the place up.

“Yes, but I’m afraid it’ll take at least half a year to get it operating.” Zhou Ying nodded.

“Let’s take things slowly. We’ll need to buy someone to keep an eye on the place and clean it up occasionally. Otherwise, if it is not maintained, it will deteriorate further.”

“We’ll see. If my adoptive mother and her family are willing to stay after we get them out, we’ll hand this place over to them.

“We’ll only think about buying someone if they don’t want to take up the job.” “Alright. By the way, when do you plan to get her out?

“It’s troublesome to pay a visit to anyone in the capital. We’ll have to send a visiting card in advance.”

“Tomorrow. 1’11 go over after breakfast tomorrow.

“As for a visiting card, we only send them when we visit. We won’t be needing them.

“Besides, even if we send them in advance, they might not reply.”

“Alright, 1’11 go with you tomorrow.” Gu Chengrui nodded.

However, after dinner, she discovered that Gu Chengrui was following the Third Prince into the palace tomorrow morning.

Gu Chengrui had no choice but to say, “It’d be better if you follow Uncle Feng tomorrow and bring the craftsmen to the residence to clean it up.”

Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

If the Zhou family threatened her, it would be difficult for her to escape without revealing her trump card..
