Chapter 135 Buying a Restaurant

She was startled, and just when she was thinking about how to answer, she heard the man say: "No wonder there is nothing difficult in the world if someone has a heart. My scholars in Ningbo have always loved discussing politics and have a lot of knowledge. It would be nice if you listened to them more. I have gained a lot of knowledge. The most important thing is that you have more heart than them."

She breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little uneasy. This man was sometimes shrewd and frightening, and she always felt that what he said was a little insincere.

"Let's go back."

He straightened her collar again, and said: "Get up early tomorrow, and I will have breakfast with you, and we will be Xiaogang after eating."

"Ah."

Qingyun quickly came out of the house, and she watched the two leave, and secretly warned herself: "Stop talking too much."

There was nothing to say all night, and Leng Yun came early the next morning, bringing many people over, as well as chariots and horses.

It was only then that Man Yue realized that she seemed to know too little about this man.

So it turns out that he usually takes so many people with him to work?
After eating the snacks he brought, they tidied up after eating, and the group headed towards Xiaogang in a mighty manner.

Xiaogang is not far from Chaiqiao. With a carriage, it only takes half an hour to arrive.

Leng Yun asked Qingyun to take him to that restaurant, and he went to work.

With Qingyun leading the way, there will be no obstacles. If Leng Yun is the number one uncle of Xiaogang, then Qingyun is definitely the number two uncle.

The owner of the restaurant is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. When he saw that Qingyun brought someone, he was a little frightened. Hearing that the person who came was the wife of Master Hou who had never been married, his legs trembled.

Although their merchants are rich, they have no social status, and any petty official can kill them.

The person here is the future wife of Master Hou, or someone from Sizhitang, how can we not be surprised?

But he was afraid of returning home, and his mind was flexible, thinking that it would be a good thing if he could get on line with Master Hou.

At the moment, I politely took the full moon to look around, and introduced various introductions.

Man Yue was satisfied with this place, no matter the location or specifications, it met her requirements.

There was some emotion at the moment.

However, she has been walking around the mall for a long time, so naturally she will not reveal her thoughts at this time, lest someone take the initiative and be passive.

The boss saw that Man Yue seemed to be moved but he didn't mention the price for a long time, so he felt a little anxious, and said: "Little lady, if you agree, the price is easy to negotiate."

Man Yue smiled and said, "The bosses are fellow villagers, why don't you offer a price?"

"This……"

Zhou Fugui thought for a while, although his son also made friends with some nobles in the capital, how could he compare with Lord Hou?If he can take this opportunity to climb up to Lord Hou, then his business in the capital will be more secure.

Then he gritted his teeth and said: "Little lady speaks quickly, they are all fellow villagers, and the old man also tells the truth."

He paused and said, "I have 7 chefs, 10 helpers in the kitchen, and 2000 waiters. I would be grateful if you could take me in. This restaurant will be sold to you for [-] taels." how?"

This price surprised Man Yue, isn't it too cheap?

As for people, it's easy to say, she can also use it, and it's not too difficult.

But sell it to yourself at a low price just because of this?
She has been here for half a year, and she is not the first brother when she first came, so she naturally understands the current market, so she finds it incredible.

She looked at Qingyun and suddenly realized something.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't tell me the old man thinks that I am a bully? This price is absolutely unbearable!"

Zhou Fugui was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Little lady, I'm doing business just to seek safety. If the little lady is willing to protect her, it's fine to give it to a girl."

"Boss Zhou was joking. I heard that your Fugui restaurant has been in business for more than ten years. How could you run the business so steadily without the protection of noble people? Besides, I'm a girl, not to mention that I was entrusted by the family to come forward to take care of the business. Such a big ability to take care of others?"

Zhou Fugui had a ghostly expression on his face.

This girl is really 12 years old? !

How is it similar to that 3,40, [-]-year-old loach?Slippery and not slippery, this is a watertight thing!
Man Yue slowly sipped his tea, the servants and Mrs. Chen were confused and didn't know what Man Yue meant.

Why does it sound cheap?

They are embarrassed by their own thoughts.

How can there be such a thing in the world?Is the full moon crazy?
Full Moon felt helpless.

It really is a society of human feelings, if I am still that peasant girl, if I don't have a fiancé like Leng Yun, would this old man be so polite?

Yes, although she can accept this filial piety in a pretentious manner, but she is soft-spoken and short-handed, she doesn't want to owe others and cause trouble for Leng Yun.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Zhou Fugui couldn't help being a little frustrated, these nobles really looked down on them.It's okay if you are greedy for money, but if you meet such a master, then let's do business, at least you can calm down.

At the moment, I also set up to laugh, and stopped mentioning this, and started formal business negotiations.

Everyone and things were left to Man Yue, and the restaurant with seven or eight doors was finally sold for 6000 taels of silver.

The next step is the transfer of ownership and other procedures, which don't need to go to the full moon, Qingyun quickly ordered his followers, and everything was done in a short while.

It can be described as a typical example of people in the yamen who are good at handling things!
Although Fugui was a little regretful that he couldn't hug Master Hou's thigh that week, but seeing that the other party gave him a bank note from Huitong, he felt happy and even said that he would treat Man Yue to dinner.

Man Yue naturally refused, but she also felt that the boss this week is a wonderful person, and now that the business has reached the capital, she might still be able to contact her in the future, so she said, "Mr. Contact, maybe when Man Yue goes to the capital, I will need your help."

Zhou Fugui was stunned for a moment, and then became overjoyed.

Although he didn't get asylum, it would be great if such a noble person is willing to make friends with him, and he might be able to seek Taoism at any time.

Immediately, he said modestly: "Little lady is serious. How can I, a merchant, be honored by you as a gentleman? It is really insulting. Thanks to the little lady, I will give you the address. If the little lady is surprised, you can go to the old man. stay."

Man Yue nodded, Fushen said: "Then thank you, old man."

He chuckled again as he spoke, and said: "I think you don't have to be humble when you speak elegantly, sir. There is nothing wrong with being a businessman. At least you have no worries about food and clothing, and there are fewer intrigues. Nowadays, the country's focus on business is exactly what I am doing. When you show off your skills, don't underestimate yourself, sir."

Zhou Fugui lost his mind when he said this.

In this day and age, merchants are lowly, and even merchants themselves look down on themselves. It is really exciting for someone with the status of full moon to call out Mr., not to mention how thoughtful these words are!
If it hadn't been for the ups and downs of Shang Hai for a long time, he would have already developed the ability to be indifferent to emotions, and tears would probably come down.

"Well, I just don't know how long this kind of life can last. I am willing to do something for the country, and it is common sense to pay taxes. Besides, 30% of the tax is not too high. I'm afraid some people don't want to, and there will be troubles again. If there is another moth at that time, before returning to that time, the tax will not have to be paid, but the merchants behind me will pay more... Oh, the old man made a slip of the tongue..."

Man Yue frowned slightly, recalling the history she had learned before, she couldn't help sighing, and said leisurely: "Don't panic, old man, you are telling the truth, Guochao is not guilty of words now, and those guards in Jinyi will not stare at me and other ordinary people. people."

After a pause, he said again: "Sir, don't worry, there are always people with insight in the court, and we just need to do business in a down-to-earth manner."

"Little lady is right, in fact, we merchants only want a safe country, so that we can do business safely and have a meal..."

Talking with Zhou Fugui, Man Yue gained a lot.

It seems that although Daming has undergone reforms and seems to be prosperous, the reality is only superficial.

At that time, seeing that the Jin soldiers were about to break through the city, in order not to be a subjugated slave, this was the only way to reform.

The ministers who came to the south cannot be said to be good people, but at least they are loyal to Zhu Ming. At such a critical moment, the resistance to reform is naturally small.And it only occupies the most affluent south, and the places that have not been invaded by military disasters and man-made disasters are easy to prosper with slight changes.

But that's all.

The Ming Dynasty has won the throne for hundreds of years, how can the disadvantages in it be eradicated in just a few decades?

Thinking of the comments of those scholars, Man Yue suddenly felt a little depressed: the uncle has withdrawn from the capital, but those civil servants seem to be very wary of him!
After being depressed for a while, she soon regained her spirits. No matter what, she had to do her best.As for the uncle's matter, let's wait for the uncle to settle it himself. The man she likes should not be so fragile.

After buying the restaurant, I naturally want to meet up with the former old employees.

The full moon didn't have much to say, it was nothing more than some encouragement, and then took out the employment contract and salary forms that he had prepared a long time ago to the new employees.

"I like to talk about ugly things first. If you follow me and do things in a down-to-earth manner, I will not treat you badly. Similarly, I hope you will abide by some of my rules. Don't worry, I will not embarrass everyone, but As a cook myself, I have some methods to pass on to the family, I just hope you keep your mouth shut, and if you violate my rules then, don't blame me for being rude!"

She glanced at the faces of a group of people, and continued: "You can show this document to the people in the village. If you are willing to keep it, come tomorrow to draw a pledge, and the next day we will go to the yamen for justice, and you will receive 500 Wen. Take it as a meeting gift from me.”

As soon as the voice fell, there were bursts of discussions below, and everyone seemed a little panicked.

"I said, is this reliable? How to do it and how to draw it?"

"I think it should be reliable, right? This little lady is none other than Yang Rener."

"Ah! Is that the little girl who dared to fight evil officials at a young age?"

"Then don't worry, it's just that Chef Wang, what do you think about this confidential matter? Look at what is written on the paper, you are the only one among us who can read!"

"This is also human nature. The new owner can not only write poems, but the cooking skills are said to be praised by the former cabinet elders. Naturally, this kind of craftsmanship must be kept secret. As for the things written on it, I also don't understand it. I don't know many words..."

Man Yue pretended not to hear everyone's comments, and continued: "Well, this store is going to be refurbished, and it won't open in a few months. But don't worry, I will pay the people left behind according to the wages written on the paper. I will rent a big yard later, you can go there later, I have to teach you something."

"coax!"

Now the bottom exploded!
It is not easy to learn something these days. Not only do you have no money to get it, but you have to work like a cow for the master, so there is a saying that a master is like a father.But these days, cooking skills can be passed down from family to family. This owner's cooking skills are already well-known in Ningbo. No one will doubt her level just because she is young. If she is willing to teach them...

Chef Wang got excited right away, and said in a trembling voice: "Little Boss, listen, I heard that you created the stewed noodles and cold noodles. You, are you teaching us this?"

Man Yue glanced at him, laughed and said, "I want to teach more than that!"
