Chapter 124: Site Selection Problem

The second girl originally wanted to ask him what he meant by these ambiguous words.

But when they heard that he brought the topic to the store, the two women's attention was instantly diverted.

After all, this matter concerns several of them.

“There hasn’t been much progress yet. A good location is too expensive and the investment is too high. We are a new store and I’m afraid there won’t be any customers coming.

In a relatively remote place, the rent is cheap, but the customer flow is not large enough, so there won't be many customers. "

Luo Xinran was the first to speak. Although there were many young and old in the vacant shops in the market, they all had defects to a greater or lesser extent.

Xu Feng did not express his opinion at this moment, but turned his attention to Xu Tinglan, obviously wanting to hear her opinion.

"In addition to choosing the location for the store these days, Sister Xinran and I also made a general survey of the layout and shops in Fangshi. Here are the detailed data, you can take a look."

After taking the jade slip, Xu Feng penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness and began to examine it.

"There are a total of sixty-four shops on East Street, and fifty of them are open. Three shops with strong influence and strong backgrounds are mostly opened here, and the rent is very expensive.

There are two shops here that specialize in selling spiritual wine, including the century-old Qianbei Pavilion, and there are as many as thirteen grocery stores. "

"There are a total of forty-five shops on West Street, and thirty of them are open. Most of the shops here are opened by casual cultivators. The rents are relatively cheap. The items sold mainly include parts of monsters and beasts as well as elixirs and herbs."

"South Street...."

Comparing the very detailed information on the jade slip in his hand, the layout of the entire city began to take shape in his mind.

But for a while Xu Feng also suffered from difficulty in choosing and didn't know how to choose.

Until Liang Wan'er called them to eat, the three of them still couldn't make a decision.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere seemed very dull, and only the clinking of bowls and chopsticks could be heard clearly.

"Ahem, Brother Xu, and my two sisters, don't be too anxious. If you didn't find a suitable place today, can you just look for it tomorrow?

Well, I'll be free tomorrow, and Brother Xu has nothing to do. If the four of us go together, I don't believe we can't find a good shop. "

Liang Wan'er didn't like this kind of atmosphere, so she tried her best to liven up the atmosphere and suggested very optimistically,

"Okay, Wan'er is right, let's go together tomorrow."

Xu Tinglan was infected. She was a little depressed and suddenly became full of energy. She also gave each of the other three people a piece of animal meat.

Xu Feng, who was thinking about the problem while eating, swallowed a big mouthful of spirit rice and heard their conversation. He immediately raised his head and said:

"Tomorrow? I can't go tomorrow, so you three can go!"

"If you can't go, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

Luo Xinran was very curious. Originally, she was very excited about the suggestion of the four of them going to see the shops together.

"Tomorrow is the day to hand in the talisman seals to Jufu Pavilion and the proprietress. In the past six months, I have been distracted by refining alchemy, so the time for drawing the talisman seals has been greatly reduced.

Now that I have finally managed to gather the quantity they need, I want to send it to them as soon as possible. It just so happens that I have some important things to discuss with the old shopkeeper. "

His reason was very strong, and Xu Tinglan and the three girls were convinced, and finally the three of them decided to go visit the store together.

At dawn the next day, Xu Feng washed up and came to Jufu Pavilion.

The business here is good, and Yinglong feels a little too busy for himself, but the old shopkeeper has no intention of helping at all.

After receiving notification from Yinglong that Xu Feng was coming, the old shopkeeper came out from the back hall.

"Xu Xiaoyou, you are here. Let's go. Let's serve tea in the back hall."

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

There were too many customers in the front hall of the store, and it was difficult to say something, so he followed the old shopkeeper to the back hall.

"Old shopkeeper, this is the talisman I drew recently. Please check it."

As soon as he sat down, Xu Feng refused the old shopkeeper's offer of tea and directly stated his intention.

The moment he saw the talisman seal, the old shopkeeper smiled broadly, but when he got it in his hand, his expression changed slightly.

"Xu Xiaoyou, there are only a hundred cards here. It's only two months' worth. Isn't it too few?"

I knew you would ask this, but luckily I thought of my words.

"To be honest with the shopkeeper, my ability to make talismans has hit a bottleneck recently, and I have vaguely touched the threshold of a first-level high-grade talisman maker.

Therefore, during this period of time, I spent a lot of spiritual stones to purchase first-level high-grade talisman-making materials, trying to reach the realm of first-level high-grade talisman-making masters.

But it did not achieve the expected results. Not to mention a lot of spiritual stones were wasted, and not a single first-level high-grade talisman seal was drawn.

That's why I couldn't complete the agreed quantity with you on time. Please forgive me. "

No matter what kind of monks are proficient in cultivating immortals, breaking through the level of skills is undoubtedly a very important matter, so he believes that this explanation is absolutely impeccable.

But the old shopkeeper was not convinced about this explanation, and directly picked up his talisman and started to look at it one by one.

"Hey, Xiaoyou Xu, these talismans you drew, these talismans...how come the proportion of high-quality ones is so much larger, it's almost one-third."

Seeing his shocked expression, Xu Feng replied very calmly:

"Although I failed to attack the first-order high-grade talisman maker, I found that I can draw more high-grade first-order middle-grade talismans. Isn't it an unexpected surprise?"

"Forget it, forget it. Not only is it an unexpected surprise, but it also proves that your talisman-making skills are still improving, little friend."

The old shopkeeper looked at the more than thirty high-quality talismans in his hand, his face almost bursting with joy, and he kept flattering.

Then his face became solemn, as if he had made up his mind, and he solemnly said:

"Since my friend has reached the critical moment of breakthrough, in the next month, you don't need to draw the first-level mid-grade talisman seals anymore, just make a breakthrough with peace of mind.

If you can successfully draw a first-level high-grade talisman in the next month, you will be more confident of winning the first place in the next assessment. "

"Don't worry, old shopkeeper, I will do my best and won't embarrass you."

Xu Feng first expressed his determination, and then changed his tone and said:

"Old shopkeeper, the assessment you mentioned will be held in a month, but now the demon cultivators are making more and more trouble. We won't encounter any danger during this trip, right?"

Seeing his worried look, Mr. Liang laughed, then stroked his beard and said:

"You don't have to worry about this, I have already made arrangements.

These days, because of the troubles caused by the Demon Cult, the Tianjian Sect specially dispatched many foundation-building elders to lead their Qi Refining monks to eliminate demons and defend the Way.

It happens that a month later, a group of people will pass by our Tianyunfang City. After understanding the situation here, they will return to Qianyangfang City by large flying boat.

I have already paid a high price to reserve two seats on it. There are foundation-building monks from the Heavenly Sword Sect sitting there, so safety is absolutely no problem. "

Xu Feng expressed that he was very satisfied with this arrangement. No matter how crazy those demonic cultivators were, they would definitely not dare to openly attack Tianjian.

Then the two chatted for a while, and the topic unknowingly turned to his plan to open a grocery store.

"Xu Xiaoyou is preparing to become the shopkeeper himself. It seems that he will change his title when we meet in the future?"

After the old shopkeeper understood his thoughts, he smiled and joked.

"Hey, it's still early. I just have this idea. I haven't even decided on the location of the store yet!"

Xu Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"If you're talking about this, old man, I have a place to recommend to you."

"really?"

"Absolutely true!"

After hearing the affirmative answer, Xu Feng could not sit still and helped the old shopkeeper out of Jufu Pavilion.
