"You old thing, just tell me how much money is enough. How did you create so many problems?"    

Although he thought this in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud.    

Xiao Ding also did not know the origin of Yongde Restaurant.    

He looked at Uncle Chen and smiled coyly, but didn't dare to say anything.    

Seeing that Lin Xiaoman and Xiao Ding were both clueless, Uncle Chen seemed a little disappointed.    

He looked at Su Ming again and asked:    

"Lad, did you know?"    

Uncle Chen did not have much hope for Su Ming, so he was just casually asking.    

However, Su Ming smiled. He looked at Uncle Chen and said generously:    

"The origin of the Yongde Restaurant should be something important, but I'm really not sure about that yet!"    

Just as Su Ming finished his sentence, Lin Xiaoman snorted coldly and said with disdain,    

"I don't know, I just don't know. Where did all this nonsense come from, and why are you still so confident!"    

Su Ming turned around and glanced at Lin Xiaoman. He then sneered and said.    

"I'm not finished. I said I don't know, but I can guess! "    

"Oh? "Then guess, I'd like to hear how you guessed it..."    

When Su Ming said this, Uncle Chen's interest was piqued again.    

Looking at Uncle Chen, Su Ming said calmly,    

"If I remember correctly. For thirteen years, it rained cats and dogs without stopping for months. The waters of the Ganlan River surged, and as a result, the dike burst. Hundreds of thousands of people were affected downstream. For a time, the people were starving, and mourning filled the fields. Due to the interruption of roads due to the heavy rain, the imperial government's relief food could not transport River City at all. Under extreme emergency, the River City, grains and giant rice merchant Chen Congwen opened up all seventy-two grain depots to be used for disaster relief. It is precisely because of this grand act of the great businessman Chen Congwen that hundreds of thousands of citizens of River City were able to preserve their lives … "    

Su Ming spoke frankly with assurance.    

His face was filled with reverence for this pitiable businessman.    

However, Lin Xiaoman snorted coldly and said disdainfully:    

"A swindler is a swindler. You sure know how to make up a story …"    

What Lin Xiaoman said made Uncle Chen a little unhappy. He couldn't help but frown.    

Su Ming ignored her and continued:    

"After the disaster, when Emperor Jia Qing learned of it, he rewarded Chen Congwen with countless amounts of gold and silver. However, even though the disaster had passed at that time, his River City had still suffered heavy injuries, and it was time for a hundred failures to rise. Giant merchant Chen Congwen had donated all of Emperor Jia Qing's rewards to River City reconstruction. But the Chen family also went from being the richest in River City to becoming a normal family of merchants … "    

"Later on, because of Chen Congwen's reconstruction of the River City, he exhausted himself in the end and fell ill, passing away at an early age. Emperor Jiaqing felt grief in his heart when he heard this. Write an inscription for 'Eternal Ruler, Yongde Changyuan'... "    

Su Ming couldn't help but take a deep breath.    

It was as if he was standing right in front of the merchant, Chen Congwen, who was preparing food and saving the lives of the people.    

Uncle Chen didn't say anything and just sat quietly on the chair.    

After a while, Su Ming looked at Uncle Chen and said:    

"If I'm not wrong, the name of the Yongde Restaurant came from the inscription given by Emperor Jia Qing that year. And that businessman Chen Congwen should be your ancestor, Uncle Chen... "    

The moment Su Ming finished speaking, Uncle Chen looked up at Su Ming in surprise. Asked:    

Young lad, are you People in River City?    

Su Ming shook his head.    

"Then how do you know so much about this history?"    

Su Ming smiled and explained:    

"Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles. It was just a coincidence that he had read this historical allusion. Actually, I didn't expect it either. But when Uncle Chen asked, I suddenly remembered that you share the same surname as that giant businessman, so I thought that you might be your ancestor … "    

Uncle Chen let out a long sigh, stood up slowly and stared at Su Ming.    

After a long while, he said excitedly:    

"I had originally thought that I would transfer restaurants and leave River City. This period of history of my ancestors, also followed after the passing of the Ganlan River, and no one knew anymore. I didn't expect to hear you, a young man, narrate this part of history today. Sigh, leaving the River City, I will no longer have any regrets … "    

Uncle Chen's eyes turned red as he said that.    

However, as Lin Xiaoman listened, she started to get anxious.    

She did not care about these histories. She only wanted to immediately lay down her Yongde Restaurant.    

"Uncle Chen, you wouldn't transfer the restaurant to someone else just because of this story, right?"    

Uncle Chen's aged face revealed a trace of a helpless smile.    

Shaking his head, he said,    

"Of course not! "I was just sighing with emotion for a moment …"    

As he spoke, he sighed once again. Then he said:    

"Alright, since all of you are here for the Yongde Restaurant. Let's talk about Yongde Restaurant. Let me first state that I will not discuss money with you for the time being. I just want to hear your operating concepts, and your plans for Yongde Restaurant in the future. If any of you think it's annoying, you can just withdraw. Also, although both your families want to buy Yongde Restaurant s today. But it is very possible that your ideals are different from mine. In the end, none of you will be able to buy it! "    

Yongde Restaurant's location was perfect, Uncle Chen was not worried about selling it.    

He only wanted to transfer it to someone who was in agreement with him.    

The moment Uncle Chen finished his sentence, Lin Xiaoman took the lead and said,    

"Uncle Chen, if I buy Yongde Restaurant. I'm sure the restaurant is my main priority. I've decided that I'm going to invest some more money to put the whole compound back together and rebuild it. He could even buy some of the surrounding houses. I want to make an antique hotel with the most antique street features. "There are already a lot of tourists on the Ancient Street. As long as my hotel opens, it will definitely be full every day …"    

The moment Lin Xiaoman finished her sentence, Uncle Chen immediately asked her:    

"Little girl, if you want to change the courtyard, do you think that I will have to wait until now and sell it to you before I can ask you to do so? I can tell you clearly, the strength of the funds my son and daughter have in the capital is not inferior to any of the Four Great Clans in River City. If I want to remodel it, they'll come right over when I call. But you know, those Gaul parasol trees, camphor trees, and pine cypress in the yard. They were all decades old, or even centuries old. "And that memorial archway, which was built during the time of Jiajing, is a genuine cultural relic!"    

Lin Xiaoman was quite smart. When she saw Uncle Chen say that, she immediately changed her words.    

"Uncle Chen, don't worry, I didn't understand before. Now I know. I will definitely not change my mind. I will just properly run the restaurant... "    

Lin Xiaoman knew very well that as long as she bought it herself, she wouldn't care what she did or did, even an old man like her couldn't care less.    

Uncle Chen looked at Xiao Ding again and asked:    

"What about you, Mr. Shaw? What's your plan?"    

Xiao Ding was not good with words, so he could only speak the truth.    

"I didn't think of anything else and just wanted to properly manage the restaurant so that Yongde Restaurant could be used as a signboard for River City and delicacies. As long as one remembers the characteristics of the River City, the first thing they would think of would be the Yongde Restaurant … "
