Chapter 006 Opening of Linjiang Building
In the past half month, Yue Zhenshan has been personally supervising, led by Zhou Zichang and Fu Yumin.
Eight carpenters and seven plasterers were hired to carry out the decoration. Bi Zhongyu, the younger brother of the elder brother Bi Zhonghao, led a large group of men to clean the doors and windows, and used a horse-drawn carriage to haul the debris and garbage out several times.
.
After all this hard work, the entire Linjiang Tower has regained its vitality and become lively and beautiful.
Later, they bought paint, carried out cosmetic works, and provided tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, stoves, grains, oils and seasonings for the restaurant. The restaurant gradually took shape during intense preparations.
After half a month of busy work, everything was finally done.
Then he asked Qiu Sheng to find Uncle Jiu on the condition of a one-day trip to Yihongyuan. He spent a lot of money and Uncle Jiu chose a suitable day to open the business.
This is a necessary investment. There are demons and ghosts in this world, and people like Uncle Jiu can still communicate between the top and the bottom.
The purpose of inviting Uncle Jiu is to let him do some off-board moves.
June 16
Linjianglou Restaurant was officially opened amidst joyous congratulations. The bright red banners and lanterns at the door were full of Chinese characteristics, and a lion dance team was invited to entertain.
"Welcome, welcome, please come in..."
Yue Zhenshan walked outside with a big red wedding sticker on his face, and with an attentive smile on his face, he greeted familiar people warmly.
Linjiang Building is very large. The floor is paved with smooth polished bluestone tiles, which look very solid after cleaning. There are more than 20 square tables on the spacious first floor, which can accommodate nearly 200 people dining at the same time.
There are twelve independent rooms in the private room area on the second floor, where guests can drink and chat in a relatively private environment.
The third floor is divided into four areas, decorated in different styles, and the utensils used are all made of mahogany furniture.
The kitchen facilities in the back have also been renovated. All the kitchen utensils used were forged by Yue Zhenshan himself. A row of 8 pots and stoves were built against the wall. They used high-quality smokeless coal. The mist evaporated from the stove, bringing with it the strong aroma of cooking meat.
.
Before the opening of Linjianglou Restaurant, six more cooks and nearly 20 handymen were recruited in Renjia Town, all of them strong and muscular men.
Those steaming rice, boiling water, cooking vegetables, and greeting guests are all busy, creating a joyful opening scene.
Despite this, Yue Zhenshan was smiling bitterly in his heart.
Fortunately, three generations of the Yue family had accumulated the first pot of gold, so he was able to recruit people on a large scale, buy rice, flour, grains, oils, seats and benches, and open this very large restaurant.
There are no less than 20 restaurants in Renjia Town, and the scale of Linjianglou Restaurant is enough to rank among the top five, and it can entertain more than 300 customers at the same time.
Yue Zhenshan dares to give everything he has because he has his own trump card and is also a time traveler. How could he live his life honestly? In this way, he does things with an indomitable spirit.
When I came to the door, the warm sunshine shone on me.
The weather in Renjia Town in June is very good, with clear blue sky and floating white clouds, and the deep blue color makes people's hearts tremble.
Yue Zhenshan walked out of the door calmly and happened to see Uncle Jiu walking towards him, holding a red wedding invitation in his hand.
"Ayue, congratulations on getting rich!"
"Haha, Uncle Jiu, please come over and take Uncle Jiu to Zhongyu to rest on the third floor." Yue Zhenshan greeted Bi Zhongyu.
"Ayue, you're welcome. We are all on our own. We are opening today and you are a very busy person."
"No, Uncle Jiu, please take a rest first."
After Bi Zhongyu took Uncle Jiu to the third floor, Yue Zhenshan began to receive other people with a smile.
Renjia Town is a place that is either big or small. There are many landowners and squires, and the restaurant is open. The invitations he sent out did not extend to the entire town except for people he knew.
The first is that I have just started to come into contact with this industry and not many people are familiar with it.
The second is that the Yue family only ran a blacksmith shop before, so Yue Zhenshan's reputation was not that great in front of these landlords and merchants.
"My boss, there are some gangsters making trouble at the door. Shopkeeper Zhou is dealing with them. I'm afraid they have bad intentions." Bi Zhongyu walked in quickly from the outside and reported in a hurried tone.
Yue Zhenshan frowned when he heard this, and then said to him, "Let shopkeeper Zhou scatter some tea money and let those unsightly things go elsewhere."
"Okay!"
The land boundary of Renjia Town Pier is a place where black and white intertwine.
In this era, it is not that easy to survive.
Even if you are carrying sacks at the dock, you still need an identity. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The gangsters probably saw that they had no power behind them, so they wanted to rush in and take a bite of the fat.
"Bang!!"
Yue Zhenshan was still thinking when suddenly a crisp gunshot sounded from outside.
Then there were shouts: "What the hell, you bunch of short-sighted guys."
"You dare to extort money in broad daylight."
"Is there any heavenly law or king's law?"
The chaotic crowd at the entrance of Linjiang Restaurant instantly fell silent. The originally rambunctious gangster was frightened to death. The bullet just flew past his head, and if it missed a few centimeters, it would kill him.
"Get out of here yet!!"
"Let's... get out of here right away."
The gangster walked away with his scared companions, while the shooter stood at the door with a group of soldiers with live ammunition.
When Yue Zhenshan saw this person, he immediately remembered his identity.
He is the glove trained by the Ren family, Awei, the captain of the security team of Ren family town.
"Master Ren, welcome, welcome!!"
"Xiao Yue, I've watched you grow up. It's not easy for you to make your business bigger and stronger!" Ren Fa greeted Yue Zhenshan with a smile. He really didn't expect that this restaurant would be destroyed by Yue Zhenshan.
The mountain came down.
"Excuse me, Master Ren, you are the Taishan Beidou of Renjia Town."
"A small business like a restaurant is just a small business in your eyes."
The name Renjia Town shows the power of the Ren family in this place.
The mine to the west is run by the Ren family.
The purchase channel for Yue Zhenshan's blacksmith shop is also from the Ren family, while the Yue family blacksmith shop only relies on craftsmanship.
"Xiao Yue, you are so humble. This restaurant is not small!"
"Boss Zhou wanted me to take over this restaurant, but unfortunately his price was too high, so I didn't take it over. Xiao Zhou is a cunning person. His father learned the craft at our Renjiafu Manlou, and that's why we opened this restaurant."
"It's a pity that Xiao Zhou is a man with great ambitions. He imitated others to open a factory in Foshang and was eager to sell the restaurant. He happened to meet you, Xiao Yue, and even offered 30,000 yuan. If it were me, even if it was 10,000 yuan, it would still be a good deal.
Let’s talk about this business!”
"It's like buying low and selling high. When Xiao Zhou was short of money, you didn't lower the price. You actually gave him 30,000 yuan sincerely. You suffered a big loss on this business~"
"Master Ren is right."
Yue Zhenshan glanced at Ren Fa and found that the guy was smiling.
I don’t know what it means specifically? Could it be that you stole his business?
I took another look at the soldiers outside the door, and this became interesting.
"What Master Ren is saying is, it's just that I have never done such a big business before. This is my first time doing business and I have lost money, which makes you laugh."
"Anyway, it is also appropriate to support the younger generations."
"It's not easy for me to meet you, Xiaoyue. Since you own this restaurant for 30,000 yuan, how about I invest 10,000 yuan for a four-tier share?"
"this..."
It turns out that this is the purpose of Ren Fa's visit. Boss Zhou originally sold this restaurant to him for 30,000 yuan, but he refused to accept it.
Yue Zhenshan had talked about this matter with Boss Zhou, so he knew everything about it.
Boss Zhou went to Foshan to open a factory, and he was also a figure. Yue Zhenshan's price of 30,000 was just a favor.
Unexpectedly, Renfa came to pick peaches now.
But let’s face it, it’s okay if you don’t agree.
In this town of Ren, if you want to do serious business, you can't get around Ren Fa. This guy is still a careless person. Even the mansion where his father is buried was obtained by clever means.
After figuring out the key here, Yue Zhenshan said to Ren Fa: "Since Mr. Ren is willing to support the younger generations, that's the best thing."
"Linjiang Building is opening today, and there are still some seniors resting on the third floor!!"
"Master Ren, why don't we all talk about business."
“Then let’s talk!!”
Take Ren Fa to the third floor and get acquainted with the gentry and merchants in Renjia Town.
Chapter completed!
