Chapter 83 Future New Owner
Chapter 83 The future new owner
After shouting "Blessings to Heaven and Earth", the yard became lively again. Many people poked their heads in to look in. Some people who were joining in the fun had already gone to the door of the main room to take a look.
Many children squeezed in through the gaps between the adults and stretched their necks to see the bride.
Qin Zhiyi was no exception. He also followed a group of people and stood in the yard looking inside.
But they saw Liniang being led out. She was wearing a red wedding dress made of coarse cloth and her head was covered with a red hijab.
It's not like wearing plain clothes as a dress in the past.
Liniang like this can still be recognized. After all, she is the only one in Qinjiazhuang walking like this.
As for Qin Ping'an, he was held out by two people, one on the left and one on the right. He also had a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
She was happy that Qin Ping'an could marry a wife, but when she saw Liniang, she still felt the hostility of this woman.
The next step was to salute under Xi Po's call, and then send him into the bridal chamber with the last sound. Qin Ping'an was carried back to the room by two people.
While waiting for lunch, the courtyard was full of people and it was very lively.
Fei Chengsheng and He Changxuan arrived in the town early.
It's not a big place, but it has a large population.
Especially since there is a larger post station on the station, there are not many people coming and going here.
The business of the restaurant is also linked to these.
The two of them walked around the town several times and visited three restaurants respectively. The best one was located in the middle of the main street. However, it was not well run and had not many types of dishes, so there were not many customers in the restaurant.
When the two of them entered, the shopkeeper was taking a nap with his chin propped up on one hand. He Changxuan stepped forward and knocked on the counter twice, causing the shopkeeper to wake up in a daze.
Both of them thought this place was the best, so they stayed at the inn and ordered a bottle of wine, a portion of peanuts, a fried cabbage, and a plate of scrambled eggs, and started eating and observing.
Even when it was time to eat, there was an endless stream of people coming and going in front of the door, but not many came in.
The first dish that was served was peanuts, and then a bottle of wine.
When I put the peanuts in my mouth, they were a little moist. It looked like they had been made for a few days.
As for the scrambled eggs and stir-fried cabbage, they were even more difficult to swallow.
Fei Chengsheng felt that the pickles Qin Zhiyi made casually were hundreds of times more delicious than this.
Looking at the waiters, all of them looked downcast and unable to cheer up. He Changxuan even lowered his voice and said: "I asked you why the business of this inn is so bad. It turns out that it is a bunch of lazy people who work, and people can't get in."
They don't pay attention, if I were the boss I would fire them."
Fei Chengsheng had already scanned everything in the inn. Hearing He Changxuan's indignation, he asked, "How do you know they are just lazy and not doing anything, rather than having nothing to do?"
He Changxuan murmured: "Isn't it? Master, look at those waiters. They are all standing on the side and dozing off. Even the shopkeeper is like this."
Fei Chengsheng chuckled and said, "Then take a look at this restaurant. Is it clean?"
"clean."
This was He Changxuan's first feeling after he came in. Now that he takes a closer look, he sees that it is really very clean.
Not to mention the tables and benches, even the gaps were wiped clean without any dust at all.
"Cleanliness is the right thing. Cleanliness means that they have never slacked off and have done everything they should do. It's just that there are no customers and they have nothing to do."
Having said this, he began to analyze again: "I heard before that this place is an old shop. Naturally, the waiters and shopkeepers here are also old people. If they don't work well, they will lose their jobs. Let me ask, they will lose their jobs.
If the guy is lost, what good does it do to them?”
Although Lian Li heard this, he suddenly understood: "Sir, I understand. What you mean is that the shopkeepers and clerks here are very diligent, but the business here is not good, and they can't do anything no matter how hard they try, so everyone is listless.
, worrying about where to go next.”
Fei Chengsheng responded solemnly: "I'll go find out more."
Soon, he had already walked to the shopkeeper holding the wine glass.
"You run this restaurant?"
When the shopkeeper saw the guest handing him a glass of wine, he quickly retreated: "No, no, drinking will make things worse. If this is really my own business, that would be fine. To be honest, this is my boss Li Guanren's restaurant."
He continued to ask: "Oh? I think the business of your boss's restaurant is not very good. This is a place for eating, but not many people come in to eat."
The shopkeeper also smiled bitterly, and then complained in a low voice.
It turns out that since the death of Yuan Wai, the eldest family and the second family have started fighting for property. Ever since something happened to the eldest family, the second family has become even more unscrupulous.
The second wife even arranged for her mother-in-law to come to this restaurant, including those in the kitchen. Whether it was shopping for groceries or the like, everything was taken care of by the second wife’s mother-in-law. After coming and going, her mother-in-law’s family just sat there and had nothing to do, and they didn’t want to make progress.
The dishes cooked in the restaurant could not be served on the table. Over time, the restaurant, which was originally a prosperous business, turned into this bleak situation.
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "Earlier, the old owner had two restaurants, and this restaurant had the best business. Now... Well, if the second owner wants to sell this restaurant, we people don't know what we will do for a living."
.”
He Changxuan was even more happy when he heard this: "If someone buys your restaurant, wouldn't you need to worry?"
The shopkeeper also answered truthfully: "Even if we get the deal, I'm afraid it won't be a restaurant. The two guests look at our business. No one is afraid of taking over the mess."
Fei Chengsheng thought for a moment and asked him: "Does your second son have the intention to sell the restaurant?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he lowered his voice again: "Of course, the second owner didn't know that the second wife was behind it. When we came to see it a few days ago, the second owner had plans to sell out the property. It was the second wife.
I don’t want to do anything. In fact, it’s better not to sell it out. We are guarding this restaurant. Although the business is not good and we make little money, we can finally have some copper coins so that the whole family will not starve to death.”
Fei Chengsheng already had an idea in mind.
Since the Li family is determined to sell this restaurant, he has the ability to win it.
Then he asked again: "Of the two restaurants, one belongs to your first owner, and the other belongs to your second owner?"
"That's true, but I'm afraid the big boss can't take care of it at the moment. Fortunately, they are all old people. They haven't touched it since the old boss passed away, so the business is pretty good."
After asking about this, he handed the shopkeeper a few copper coins and continued: "Can you let me go to the kitchen to take a look?"
The shopkeeper looked at the few copper plates and felt really embarrassed. He finally nodded and said to the waiter who was not far away: "Dongzi, this guest wants to order two dishes from the kitchen. You can take him to see what's available."
What material."
The shopkeeper was actually betting that the guest ordered several dishes as soon as he arrived, but did not eat them. Instead, he asked him about the situation.
He had a hunch that the young master in front of him must be his future employer.
