Don’t reach out and hit the smiling person.

Even though the young master was usually very mean, the shopkeeper immediately responded when he heard this and went downstairs to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Li Mancang reached out and pushed the teacup forward a little, and looked at Fei Chengsheng with a smile.

In fact, in his eyes, Fei Chengsheng was just a country man.

The reason why I can be somewhat polite to him now is because he has thousands of silver in his hands.

I don't know where it is so easy to open a tavern. Not to mention the eight hundred taels of food for his restaurant, and the money the waiters will charge for the kitchen will be an expense in the future.

In addition, the restaurant must have a complete menu when it opens. If there is a fuss when the restaurant opens, it will also be a lot of money used to attract customers.

According to his experience, when a new store opens, it will be lively for a few days at most. If there is a discount, it can be lively for half a month.

But after the discount ends, once the original price is restored, he can guarantee that the number of customers in the restaurant will be amazing.

In addition, Fei Chengsheng was a reckless man. Although he was very capable, he had never run a restaurant before, so it was even more difficult to survive.

Therefore, he expected that Fei Chengsheng would close down his restaurant after only three months.

Thinking of this, his smile became even more flattering: "Master Fei, let's have some tea. This is the finest Longjing tea I had someone prepare."

The tea is Longjing tea, so it’s not necessarily good quality.

Anyway, he just said it in a polite way. A country man can tell what is good and what is bad.

Fei Chengsheng just glanced at it.

Although he had a hard life, he had seen the big world since he came back.

Especially when he later achieved a lot of success and enjoyed the good things, he could tell the quality of the tea brewed by the shopkeeper at a glance.

So he said quietly: "It seems that the shopkeeper is really nervous recently. A bowl of ninth-grade coarse tea is considered to be good tea."

When Li Mancang heard this, his face turned blue and white.

Fei Chengsheng continued: "Good tea has many buds, but inferior tea has many stems. The tea you have is old and coarse leaves, thick and slightly loose, not even and stemmed, and rich and mellow. If it's not that the tea was wrong, Mr. Li was deceived."

He pushed the tea aside: "I won't drink the tea. It's more important to talk about serious things."

Li Mancang was coaxed into being stunned. Even Qin Zhiyi looked at Fei Chengsheng. This man also had a lot of research on tea. In this era, tea, silk and salt are all precious things, but

Non-essential items, especially tea, are rarely consumed by ordinary families.

Seeing her looking at him, Fei Chengsheng also looked at her at this time.

Their eyes met, and neither of them said a word.

Soon the shopkeeper got pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Fei Chengsheng no longer sat down, but stood up and walked to Li Mancang. He said he would write.

Qin Zhiyi listened quietly to the side. This man was well-organized and thought clearly, and every word was very rigorous, leaving Li Mancang without any opportunity.

Even the wages of the shopkeepers and waiters in the restaurant were settled by Li Mancang today.

As for the inventory in the warehouse, let him take it away one by one.

This reassured her even more, but she still couldn't understand why Li Mancang agreed so readily when he was asked to cut the original one thousand taels into eight hundred taels.

After thinking about it, it was not difficult to figure out that the business of this restaurant was poor, and Li Mancang believed that they had no experience in opening a restaurant, and believed that they would only lose money. I am afraid that they planned to buy the restaurant back at a low price.

After thinking about it this way, Li Mancang's behavior became more reasonable.

After writing the deeds, all the house deeds and land deeds were taken out. Li Mancang readily put his stamp on it. Fei Chengsheng checked it again to make sure that Li Mancang was not causing trouble. He read it to him again and finally pressed his fingerprints.

When he came down from upstairs, Fei Chengsheng stood in front of this group of people and said to them: "From now on, Miss Qin and I will be the owners of the restaurant. Of course, we won't open the restaurant all at once after it is completed."

, The work in the restaurant must be done well first, and it will depend on your performance during this period. I will naturally keep those who can keep me, and those who are lazy and slippery will leave voluntarily."

After he finished speaking, the shopkeeper and the waiter standing in front of him all looked at each other.

It can be seen from the sad looks on their faces that they are also worried about the new owner.

The shopkeeper hurriedly flattered him and said: "If the new owner can give us a job to make a living, we will naturally do our best."

When the other seven or eight guys heard this, they immediately agreed.

There are only two chefs. You look at me and I look at you.

Finally, he reluctantly followed.

These two were named Wu Dongbao and Wu Chengjian, both of whom were nephews of the Li Wu family.

The two of them have been lazy since childhood. They studied for a few days in the early years. Originally, the family expected to be a child student, but they were not good at studying.

Later, he went out to work as a coolie, but he would run home every two days. Even if it was work in the fields at home, the brothers would often meet up for drinks and avoid it if they could.

After finally finding a job where they can be lazy and have a good meal, they certainly don't want to leave.

But with the new owner, this was no longer their uncle, so of course they were a little unhappy.

But the new owner said they could stay, which gave them some hope.

Moreover, their uncle also said that this country man could not do business for a few days, and when the restaurant business became worse and worse, their uncle would take the restaurant back again.

By then, they were still enjoying spicy food, and it wouldn't affect them at all.

The two people winked and exchanged glances. Qin Zhiyi and Fei Chengsheng had already seen through their thoughts. Seeing this, Li Mancang took some scraps of silver and paid wages to several people as stipulated in the contract.

The monthly salary of two chefs is three taels of silver. As for the shopkeeper, it is one to two to five hundred yuan a month. The other assistants who help the cooks are even less. Generally, the waiter is 800 yuan, and the lowest assistant cook is 500 yuan.

.

Watching Li Mancang hand out the completion money, Li Mancang actually felt a little bit pained.

Although there were not many assistants, these people still cost him a lot of money.

Qin Zhiyi found it even more ridiculous. Two useless chefs actually had three taels of silver each. It would be strange for the restaurant not to close down if they did nothing with the money.

Seeing that he had finished distributing the money, Qin Zhiyi spoke up at this time: "Master Li, we have taken over this restaurant, and the place becomes ours. If you want to stay for a drink, I'm afraid you have to wait for another day.

Come back again when we open.”

Li Mancang knew in his heart that he was trying to drive him away, so he turned over the banknotes and counted them, and then felt more at ease.

Then he said politely: "Of course I will leave first. When you open, let me know in advance and I will definitely come to visit."

After watching the people leave, Qin Zhiyi's expression changed.

She stood in front of the counter and looked at the rows of waiters in front of her.

"I know that your wages were not high before. Although I am short of people when I open my new store, it is best to use you. But I am a person who would rather be in short supply than in surplus. If you want to make money here, leave as soon as possible to avoid being kicked out by me and hurting your face.
