Chapter 498: Fifty thousand kilograms of divine star grass
"What? Such a thing can happen!"
Xia Xuan had a look of disbelief on his face. However, after he slowly came to his senses, that look of disbelief turned into anger.
"Xian'er, are you telling the truth?"
Xia Xuan was furious, "Thankfully, I have always regarded them as my real relatives and tried every means to help them. But in the end, I ended up raising two white-eyed wolves!"
After saying that, Xia Xuan immediately turned his head and knelt down to Su Chen, saying: "I am very grateful to the alchemist for helping me and my daughter to escape this disaster. I have to repay this kindness even though I have been a bull in this life." !”
"Don't call me Master Alchemist, call me Mr. Chen." Su Chen said, "Do you, father and daughter, have somewhere to go now?"
Xia Xuan and Xia Rongxian looked at each other, and Xia Rongxian said softly: "No, we, father and daughter, are just rootless duckweeds. We are helpless in the imperial capital. The only thing we rely on is the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce. In the beginning, the Chamber of Commerce also It was just a small stall, and it gradually grew to its current size because of my father’s excellent business skills.”
"Since you have nowhere to go, then continue to stay at Rongxian Chamber of Commerce."
Su Chen said.
"Sir, are you saying that we can continue to stay at Rongxian Chamber of Commerce?"
Xia Xuan asked in a trembling voice, his eyes shining with surprise and disbelief.
"Yes, it just so happens that I also lack the manpower to manage the Chamber of Commerce. You and your daughter can stay here. The five hundred thousand taels of silver should be regarded as my reward for employing you and your daughter for fifty years."
Su Chen said, "Of course, if you do well, you can also get extra dividends from the chamber of commerce's profits."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
The Xia family father and daughter said quickly, both of them beaming with joy.
They were all mentally prepared to leave Rongxian Chamber of Commerce and find another way out, but they never expected that they could continue to stay in Rongxian Chamber of Commerce. This is the best result for them who have deep feelings for Rongxian Chamber of Commerce.
Su Chen naturally had his own plan. He wanted to buy the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't want to take care of the various trivial matters of the Chamber of Commerce himself, and he didn't have the time.
Gu Qianyin and the others are not qualified to run the chamber of commerce, and the Xia family father and daughter do not seem to have evil intentions. What's more, they have feelings for Rongxian Chamber of Commerce, and they will definitely try their best to help run the chamber of commerce.
"Okay, let's gather all the guys and repair the damaged facilities in the Chamber of Commerce first."
Su Chen waved his hand and said that Rongxian Chamber of Commerce was now in a mess and it would definitely not be able to reopen before the repairs were completed, but it would give him time to prepare.
At the moment, Xia Xuan summoned the stewards, clerks, etc. from the chamber of commerce and introduced to them the new boss "Chen Shu".
When these stewards heard that the new owner was the benefactor who saved the shopkeeper, they all kowtowed and knelt down in gratitude.
It seems that everyone in the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce has strong cohesion and is of the same mind.
Su Chen took a general look and found that he had no intention of replacing these stewards, so he left them to Xia Xuan to continue managing them as they were.
He learned about the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce from the Xia family's father and daughter. The original Rongxian Chamber of Commerce was just a street stall, but it gradually grew to its current scale, all thanks to Xia Xuan's business skills. Nowadays, the business of Rongxian Chamber of Commerce has involved various fields such as elixirs, magical weapons, magical talismans, etc. Although it cannot be said to be a big chamber of commerce, it is somewhat famous in the neighborhood.
Xia Rongxian's mother died young, and she was raised by Xia Xuan. From the beginning, the father and daughter were like duckweeds, and now they are able to establish a foothold in the imperial capital and even support their relatives. It is quite difficult.
"Xian'er, your uncle and cousin are really heartless. Thanks to me, I helped them and their son many times in the past. But in the end, they actually set their sights on the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce and you, and even secretly poisoned me. It's simply Conscience is so dark.”
Xia Xuan was still very angry when he talked about this.
Although the healing elixir sent by the two men at that time was not preserved, there is no evidence to prove that they poisoned the elixir. But after Xia Xuan was poisoned and fell into coma, these two people couldn't wait to invade the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce. It is almost 100% certain that they were the poison.
Their trick was very obvious, which was to make Xia Xuan unconscious. Because according to the laws of the imperial capital, while Xia Xuan was in a coma but not dead, Xia Rongxian, as a child under the age of twenty, had no right to deal with the chamber of commerce under Xia Xuan's name on her own, and close relatives must jointly decide how to deal with it.
This also gave Xia Rongxian's uncle and cousin an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. This was why Xia Rongxian's uncle had previously clamored that even if the imperial guards came, they would not be able to take care of their family affairs.
But at the moment, the Xia family father and daughter have no time to go to those two people to settle accounts immediately. Their thoughts are all focused on the reconstruction of Rongxian Chamber of Commerce.
After all, it was Su Chen who gave Xia Xuan a new lease of life and gave Xia Xuan the opportunity to continue running the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce. Xia Xuan showed his gratitude and was definitely thinking about how to make Rongxian Chamber of Commerce more prosperous.
…
Su Chen and the others stayed at the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce. Fortunately, there were enough rooms in the backyard of the Chamber of Commerce, so even if there were five or six more people at once, they wouldn't feel crowded.
In the next few days, Gu Qianyin and the others quickly became familiar with the Xia family's father and daughter.
On the third day, Xue Yong came back dusty.
All the five hundred thousand taels of silver were spent on purchasing fifty thousand kilograms of divine star grass.
In total, it was ten taels of silver per pound of Divine Star Grass. If the old guys in Su Chen's previous Dan Realm knew about this price, they would probably go crazy.
Speaking of which, when Su Chen was thirty years old in his previous life, although he was taken away by Alchemist Qingfeng who was passing by the Yunyuan Empire, the place Alchemist Qingfeng went to at that time was not the area of the imperial capital, but where the Su family was. Duyang City.
Therefore, Qingfeng Danzun did not discover the large area of Divine Star Grass in the imperial capital of Yunyuan Empire in his previous life. If discovered, I am afraid it would directly affect the pattern of the Dan Domain in his previous life.
At the moment, Xue Yong has almost surrounded all the divine star grass in the imperial capital.
Although God's Star Grass grows a lot in this area of the Imperial Capital, its growth cycle is very long. Once harvested, it takes at least three years to grow back.
So now, it can be said that all the Divine Star Grass in the Imperial Capital is in Su Chen's hands.
With the Divine Star Grass in hand, Su Chen also gained confidence. These Divine Star Grasses were a weapon for him to quickly establish a foothold in the Imperial Capital.
"Su Chen, why did you buy so many useless purple congeals?"
Li Shitong asked curiously, and not only Li Shitong, but also Xia Rongxian on the side showed doubts.
