"Feidao said he would take me to the capital. The capital is such a far away place. For most of my life, I never thought I would be able to go there. I never thought I would be able to go to the capital at this age." Old Man Li sighed repeatedly.
Jiang Yao was a little surprised.
Zhao Feidao is going to the capital?
Zhao Feidao said that he would take Zhao Qingqing to find his biological parents. Could it be that Zhao Qingqing's biological parents are in the capital?
"You have a good life, old man." Jiang Yao said.
"That's not true." Old Man Li showed off his feelings clearly.
"When will you set off?"
"Just tomorrow. I'll come back to clean up today and go to the county tomorrow morning. By the way, just sell me all your wine. It will be delicious on the way."
"Thank you, you helped me sort out the inventory." Jiang Yao paused, "I will go to the county with you tomorrow to deliver Qingqing."
The capital is too far away from Lushui County. I don’t know what year or month it will be before we meet again.
The two of them agreed. After a meal, Jiang Yao brought out a jar of wine, and Old Man Li paid for the food.
Jiang Yao had a good day on this day. She met Old Man Li, a big customer, and sold all her inventory.
But on this day, Liu Ruyi was having a terrible time.
Thinking about Jiang Yao's words, she called her uncle and asked him why he didn't accept the rice wine from the lady of the Jiang family.
"Sister-in-law, her rice wine is too bad, and the rice dumplings she makes are too unpalatable. I really have no choice, so I changed it. Sister-in-law, you are kind enough to help her, but she doesn't know how to be grateful at all. Sister-in-law, you have met a white-eyed wolf.
Already." Guo Erlang said.
"Then where do you use the rice wine now?" Liu Ruyi asked.
"Sister-in-law, I bought the only tavern in our town, and now it is Guo's Tavern. It specializes in rice wine from the restaurant. It kills two birds with one stone." Guo Erlang said with pride in his tone, feeling that he was too business-savvy.
Liu Ruyi's brows suddenly wrinkled: "How much did you spend on it?"
"Three thousand taels of silver." Guo Erlang was a little proud, "That shop is worth a thousand taels of silver, and there is a lot of brewed wine in it. If we want to buy wine from their winery in the future, we can get a discount."
Liu Ruyi's face looked a little ugly; "Three thousand taels? Not including wine prescriptions?"
"Sister-in-law, you don't understand. I originally wanted to buy the winery, but the labor costs are very expensive. After all, it's cheaper to buy the goods directly."
"If the wine shop simply stops operating, what will happen to the wine shop?"
First, these three thousand taels are definitely expensive to buy a tavern!
Secondly, the wine recipe is the core of a tavern. If the wine shop stops working, the tavern will be an empty shell!
This business is too risky, and her brother-in-law is simply paying for it with money!
"Sister-in-law, don't worry now. I have a very good relationship with the owner of the wine shop. He will never lie to me."
Liu Ruyi pursed her lips. Now that the matter has come to this, she can only hope that the wine shop owner did not deceive others, otherwise three thousand taels will be wasted!
"Follow me to Ruyi Restaurant." Liu Ruyi said.
Ruyi Restaurant was a dowry prepared by her father for her, and the reputation was accumulated by her father.
Her father has gone away, and this restaurant is what she misses, so she attaches great importance to it.
Liu Ruyi and Guo Erlang went to Ruyi Restaurant together.
As soon as we entered, we found that there were a few people.
In the past, meals were always full.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with the taste of your food? Why do I think your meat is sour?"
At this time, a guest got upset.
Just when Liu Ruyi thought about it, Guo Erlang was anxious to show off in front of Liu Ruyi and immediately said: "Sister-in-law, I will take care of this little matter."
Guo Erlang acted like a shopkeeper and walked over.
"How could there be bad food in our restaurant? You don't want to pay, are you deliberately framing our restaurant?" Guo Erlang said with a straight face.
The guest's face suddenly turned red: "What kind of false accusation?! You will know after you take a bite!"
Although Guo Erlang didn't like eating what others had eaten, in order to solve this problem, he took a spoon and took a bite of the lean meat soup.
As a result, as soon as it entered my mouth, it spurted out, looking like I wanted to vomit.
"See, I didn't accuse you wrongly, did I? The dishes at Ruyi Restaurant are guaranteed. I often bring friends here to eat. Why has the food been getting worse recently?" the man said angrily.
Liu Ruyi hurriedly came over, apologized to the guest at the table, and promised to make another lean meat soup, which made the guest feel relieved.
"Ruyi, you have to get some snacks, otherwise the reputation of this restaurant will be ruined."
Liu Ruyi and Guo Erlang walked to a remote place, and Guo Erlang quickly explained: "Sister-in-law, the chef must have cut corners! It's a good thing that I trust him so much!"
With that said, he called a waiter and called the chef.
The chef has been working at Ruyi Restaurant for more than ten years. When the restaurant first opened, he was the assistant cook here.
As soon as he came, Guo Erlang scolded him.
The chef looked at Liu Ruyi: "Miss, I have worked in Ruyi Restaurant for more than ten years. I have a deep affection for the restaurant and will not do anything to damage the reputation of the restaurant. This... there is really no way! Buy buy buy buy
The meat that came back was bad, I mentioned it to the Second Young Master, but the Second Young Master scolded me..."
The chef spat loudly at Liu Ruyi.
If it weren't for that little emotion, he wouldn't want to do it.
The ingredients he bought are of inferior quality, and no matter how good his cooking skills are, he still can't produce the original taste.
"You won't throw away the meat even if it's spoiled. Let me continue cooking it. The result will definitely taste good..."
"Don't talk nonsense in front of my sister-in-law..." Guo Erlang said quickly.
"Shut up! Let him talk!"
"Sister-in-law, we are a family, you can't trust outsiders..."
Liu Ruyi doesn't believe anyone, she just believes in the evidence.
Liu Ruyi directly asked the accountant to take a look at the accounts. After looking at them, she found out why her uncle had boasted about making more money in front of her mother-in-law and the accountants.
Because the ingredients bought here are of poor quality!
If you save money on food, you will certainly make more money.
The consequences of using inferior ingredients were quickly apparent, as the restaurant's customer flow decreased significantly during this period.
Liu Ruyi's face was extremely ugly. This restaurant was her hard work!
"Miss, I, Lao Tu, just feel that it would be too irresponsible to leave directly, so I want to tell you all these things. It's up to you to make the decision. I, Lao Tu, have skills and can find work anywhere.
I don’t want to be so angry here anymore..." After saying that, he took off his apron and wanted to leave.
Liu Ruyi quickly stopped him: "Uncle Tu, it's all my fault. I'm busy with family affairs these days and have no time to take care of this place..."
Liu Ruyi said some kind words and was so moved that Lao Tu relaxed and decided to stay.
"Uncle, it's up to me to manage this Ruyi Restaurant myself," Liu Ruyi said.
Guo Erlang was naturally reluctant to part with it. He made a lot of money from this restaurant during this period.
When he got home, he complained to his mother.
Liu Ruyi was busy at the restaurant for most of the day. When she returned home, she was scolded by Mrs. Guo again.
