The morning sun moves westward, and the moon rises above the willow trees. Soon it’s time for Yan Xiaohao and his boss to sign the contract. When the first ray of light appears, the first rooster crows, and the waning moon still hangs in the sky, Yan Xiaohao gets up.
Clean up your home.
At this time, Sun's mother also got up to prepare breakfast for the family. Seeing Yanxiao, she came to the kitchen and said, "Madam, what do you want to eat this morning?"
Yan Xiao took a cucumber and said, "You don't need to prepare mine for breakfast. I'm going out. You take good care of Hong Zhao."
Yan Xiao said while washing cucumbers: "By the way, you don't have to go shopping today, I'll go shopping." Sun's mother responded, and Yan Xiao walked out while eating cucumbers.
When we arrived at the teahouse, it had just opened for business and there were not many people in the teahouse.
The boss saw Yan and said with a smile: "Good morning, Mrs. Yan!"
"Good morning, boss, I'll sign the contract." Yan Xiao said.
"Okay, okay, I've been ready for a long time. You come with me." Boss Zhang bent down and invited Yan Xiao into the back room. He also asked the waiter to serve tea, and then went out to get the contract.
"Ms. Yan, take a look. If there's no problem, we'll sign." Boss Zhang handed the contract to Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao took the contract, looked at it and said, "I can pay the rent in one lump sum. I don't have to pay it separately."
Boss Zhang was so happy when he heard this that the goatee on his face turned into a mustache.
"Okay, I'll change it right away." Boss Zhang took the contract and asked the store clerk to bring a new piece of paper, changed the contract in front of Yan Xiao, and then signed his name on the place where the payment was made.
"By the way, Miss Yan, let me ask one more question, what business do you want to rent this teahouse for?"
Yan Xiao smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be a big loss if you rented such a big place to sell tea? I rent it to sell food."
When Boss Zhang heard about it: "Are you renting it to be a restaurant?"
Yan Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, let's make it a big restaurant and sell some food."
"Then I won't rent it out anymore. Madam Yan, please come back!" Boss Zhang put away the signed contract and said affectionately and seriously.
Yan Xiao saw that Boss Zhang suddenly changed his mind when he heard that he wanted to open a restaurant. His attitude changed too much. He asked, "Didn't we already have an agreement? And I can pay the rent in one lump sum, so why not rent it?"
Boss Zhang said: "It's my fault. I didn't ask you clearly beforehand. I didn't know you were renting to open a restaurant. If I knew you were going to open a restaurant, I definitely wouldn't talk to you."
"why is that?"
"I really want to do this business with you. There are rules in this business. This is a tea market. If I rent it to you and you open a restaurant here to sell food, wouldn't that break the rules?
This is absolutely impossible." Boss Zhang said and asked Yan Xiao to leave.
"Isn't it possible to discuss this further?" Yan asked with a smile on his face.
"Oh, this is not negotiable. You should leave quickly! The leader of our line is Zhang Yuanwai, who has an official position in the imperial court. Although he is from my own family, this person is me anyway and it is for your own good.
Don’t do this business.” Boss Zhang became more and more anxious as he spoke, and stood in front of Yan Xiao as he spoke.
Seeing that Boss Zhang was trying to drive him away, Yan Xiao stood up and said, "In this case, this is what we have to do."
"Ms. Yan, I can't help you, but there are still many restaurants in Xunyang City. You can ask elsewhere. If you need, I can also help you inquire. I also have a few friends in the wine shop.
of."
"Thank you, Boss Zhang. I won't bother Boss Zhang about this matter."
After leaving the teahouse, Yan Xiao looked at the shop behind him, feeling very reluctant and disappointed. It was already a done deal, but why did it suddenly change?
Yan Xiao sighed, thought about it, and decided to check out Jixiang Noodle House. Although this teahouse cannot be rented, there is still a Jixiang Noodle House.
Yan Xiao was thinking about something while walking, and suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder. Yan Xiao was startled, so he grabbed the person's hand and pulled it forward, taking advantage of the situation to hold down the person's shoulder. Only then did he realize that he was an acquaintance.
"It hurts, Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?" Su Niang's face was wrinkled into a ball of paper.
Yan Xiao quickly let go of his hand, helped Su Niang up, and while rubbing Su Niang's shoulders, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you, I thought you were some kind of prostitute."
"I've been calling you from behind for a long time, but you didn't say anything. Then I patted your shoulder, but I almost lost my hand." Su Niang rubbed her shoulder and complained.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so absorbed in my thoughts just now that I didn't hear you call me."
Seeing that her shoulder was fine, Su Niang straightened her clothes and asked, "I saw you just came out of Boss Zhang's teahouse. How are you? Have you signed the contract?"
Yan Xiao shook his head and said, "No, Boss Zhang knew that I wanted to rent this teahouse to sell food, so he said that this teahouse couldn't be rented to me."
Upon hearing this, Su Niang patted her forehead, as if remembering something and said: "I forgot, there are regulations on what to buy in Xunyang City, and generally the rules cannot be broken, unless it is ancestral property.
"
Yan Xiao nodded, understanding.
"I plan to go to the first Jixiang Noodle House."
At this time, both of their stomachs started to growl, and Yan smiled and said, "You haven't had breakfast either?"
Su Niang said embarrassedly: "I was a little late looking at the account book last night. I got up a little later this morning. I thought today is the time for you to sign the contract, so I hurried over."
"I woke up very early this morning in high spirits and came here after eating a cucumber. Come on, let's go have a meal first. After we have eaten, we will go to Jixiang Noodle House." Yan said with a smile.
The tea market is far away from the vegetable market. Yanxiao doesn't plan to have breakfast on the street alone. He plans to talk to the owner of Jixiang Noodle House and then buy vegetables and go home. Now that Su Niang is here, naturally
This is no longer possible.
The two of them left the tea market and walked for a long time before they found a rice noodle shop under the city gate, and each of them ordered a bowl of rice noodles.
Su Niang looked at Yan Xiao and asked, "Xiao Xiao, are you ready to buy the first one now?"
Hearing this, Yan Xiao sighed and said: "Actually, of the three, my favorite is the one in Dongshi Liquor Market, because it is a restaurant itself. I rented it and it didn't cost too much to decorate it. Besides, I
After taking a look, there are a lot of people there, so we don’t have to worry about not having any diners.”
Yan Xiao sighed again when he said this and continued: "But the rent of this restaurant is too expensive, and there is no one with a backyard, only one restaurant. After I rent it, I have to rent one to the store clerk.
The yard is used for cooking by the guys, so I spend a lot of money every time. Moreover, I calculated that it is 900 taels this year. If I rent it for three years, I can buy the Jixiang Noodle House.
"
Su Niang heard: "It is not necessarily necessary to rent a yard to the guys. You can hire people from Xunyang City and pay a slightly higher salary, so you don't have to rent a yard to the guys. But, this
The rent is indeed high, but with us, the rent is still affordable."
Yan Xiao shook his head and said, "I still plan to buy the Jixiang Noodle Shop. How I manage my own shop is all my own business. I'm always a little worried about renting someone else's."
"Guest, your noodles should be spicy, without green onions." The waiter first brought a bowl of noodles to Su Niang, then brought another bowl of noodles to Yan Xiao and said, "This is yours, spicy, and more coriander."
The two of them started talking while holding it. After finishing a bowl of noodles, they were no longer hungry, and Yan Xiao felt full of energy again.
"Let's go to Jixiang Noodle House."
When the two arrived at Jixiang Noodle House, the restaurant was already full of diners.
"Boss Gou, your business here is really good." Yan Xiao said with a smile.
Boss Gou was standing in front of the counter calculating accounts and collecting money. He smiled when he saw Yan Yan and said with a smile: "Yes, this is the busiest time in the store. However, after today, this store will no longer be mine."
Hearing this, Yan Xiao looked at Boss Gou in surprise. Could it be possible that this store was sold out in just one day?
"Boss Gou, what do you mean by this?" Su Niang asked directly.
Boss Gou stopped flipping the abacus, looked up at the two ladies and said, "I'm in a hurry. Yesterday, a boss from Dongshi came over and said he wanted to buy this restaurant, and he immediately gave me 40,000 taels.
I just signed a contract with this boss."
Hearing this, the light in Yan Xiao's eyes suddenly dimmed, but he still smiled and said: "Then I wish Boss Zhang a safe journey."
"Thank you. Have you had breakfast? I'll ask the cook to cook you a bowl of noodles."
Su Niang declined Boss Gou's kindness and said that the two of them had already had breakfast. After the two left the Jixiang Noodle Shop, Yan Xiao could no longer maintain the smile on her face, but she didn't look sad either.
Su Niang looked at Yan Xiao without saying a word, and immediately comforted her: "Xiao Xiao, don't be discouraged. We still have a restaurant we haven't gone to yet? This is an accident. Don't," Su Niang wanted to say, "Don't be sad."
But when I think about Yanxiao encountering such a thing for the first time when he goes out to do business, it would be a lie to say that he is not sad.
Yan Xiao smiled and said, "I'm not sad. This business is not easy, I know. Let's go to that restaurant and see what the boss has to say!"
Su Niang nodded and said: "Okay!"
The sun is already very hot at seven or eight o'clock in late summer, so people on the street fan themselves while walking, and many of them hold fans.
Yan Xiao looked at the sun and felt that summer was pretty good, at least it wouldn't be cold. However, when he thought about it, maybe he had been going too smoothly over the years, so today's small change made him a little frustrated.
"Xiaoxiao, if there really is no restaurant, I will tell my father to turn our shop into a restaurant for you."
After hearing this, Yan Xiao burst out laughing and asked, "Don't you really hope that I can't rent a restaurant?"
After hearing this, Su Niang hurriedly waved her hands and said: "Of course not, I'm not afraid that you will be sad, and I have no idea about this matter now. Although my shop is said to be managed by me, my grandma will
It’s my shop, so there aren’t so many things going on.”
