Shu Mingzhi walked over and patted the guy on the shoulder.
The waiter turned around, looked at him, and then, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, he jumped two meters away.
"Brother, my restaurant is so poor that it has closed down. Why don't you try another restaurant and rob it?"
"What are you robbing?" Shu Mingzhi couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm here to buy a store. Has your store been sold?"
The boss, who had locked the door, clutched the key and looked at him warily. With his appearance and stature, wasn't he just a bandit?
For his personal safety, it is better to run away first.
The restaurant owner winked at the waiter, turned around and ran away. Who would have thought that he would bump into someone before he could even take a step forward.
When I looked up, good guy, there was another bandit wearing a hood.
Co-authoring or committing crimes in a gang.
The restaurant owner's legs weakened and he retreated silently, "I'll open the store door. You can move whatever you like. As long as you don't do anything, you can say anything."
The boss inserted the key into the keyhole with trembling hands, because he was afraid that he had to twist it twice and it didn't open.
At this time, the soft voice of the little girl came from behind: "Uncle, we were here last time, have you forgotten?"
The boss turned around in panic, but saw no one at first sight.
The clerk reminded him, "Boss, keep your head down."
The boss looked down and saw a pretty little girl looking at him longingly. Her eyes were dark and bright, and she was full of intelligence. She did look familiar.
The little girl danced and explained to him: "Last time we came here, you were cooking dinner. It was so fragrant. I could smell it from far away."
The boss of the restaurant finally came to his senses when he mentioned it, "Oh, it's you guys, come in quickly."
The boss stopped shaking his hands, unscrewed the door lock neatly, and invited them into the house for a detailed discussion.
Yan Yan was the first to cross the threshold and walked in, followed by Shu Mingli and Shu Mingzhi, then Old Mrs. Shu, Old Man Shu...
More than a dozen people entered the store one after another, and the small restaurant was instantly full.
Facing a dozen pairs of bright eyes, the boss felt inexplicably flustered. He took the waiter's arm, and the two of them huddled in the corner and shivered like quails.
Damn it, it feels more like meeting a bandit, doesn’t it?
Mrs. Shu first took a look at the decoration of the store. Well...it was almost like there was no decoration. The three-room large shop was empty, not even a bench left.
"Last time I came to your store, there were still a few tables. Why are there nothing now?"
The boss smiled awkwardly, "I'm in a hurry for money, and the store can't sell anything, so I can only pick out the items and sell them."
Mrs. Shu: "Okay, you can take me to the kitchen to have a look."
When opening a restaurant, the kitchen is definitely the most important place.
"Yes, of course." The boss diligently invited people to the backyard, pointed to the large room on the left and said: "This is the kitchen, which is very spacious. There are special places for cutting vegetables and cooking. There are three cooks standing at the same time.
It’s not crowded.”
Mrs. Shu took a quick look and found that it was spacious enough, but there was nothing inside. It was cleaner than a crop field crawled by locusts.
After leaving the kitchen, there is a warehouse for storing ingredients next to it. There are two shabby wooden cabinets in it.
Mrs. Shu felt a little more comfortable. It wasn't easy, she was finally not empty anymore.
The boss introduced: "These two cabinets, one for ingredients and one for dishes, are very convenient."
Mrs. Shu glanced around and asked, "Is there a well in the store?"
"Ah, there are no wells. You can go to the intersection ahead to get water. Except it's a bit far away, everything else is very convenient."
The boss probably also realized that his explanation was too far-fetched, so he laughed awkwardly and said: "Look, there is a room opposite. You can stay in it if you can't go home for something. It's very convenient. Let's go, I will take you over to have a look."
Not surprisingly, the room was empty, not even a broken bed frame to sleep on.
After looking at the empty backyard, Mrs. Shu quietly found Shu Mingzhi, "This store is OK except for houses, but nothing else is OK. You can buy it cheaper."
Shu Mingzhi understood the idea, hooked his arm on the boss's shoulder, and exchanged a few words with him, "Brother, this store of yours seems to be old... Can I ask why you closed the store suddenly?"
The boss chuckled, "There's no reason, I'm just... tired after working for a few years, and wanted to change careers for fun."
"Really?" Shu Mingzhi's fox-like eyes stared at him, making his heart feel tight.
After a moment, the boss sighed and said: "Oh, let me tell the truth. A month ago, the cook in the store got drunk and fell into the sea and drowned. I can't recruit a new cook with good cooking skills for a while, so I have to do it myself."
Up.
But, my cooking skills are a little bit bad, so, um, you know."
Yanyan looked confused, "But that day I smelled the delicious food you cooked. It made me drool a lot."
When his cooking skills were praised, the boss forgot his sadness for a second and grinned, "I also think the food I cook is pretty good, but they don't know how to appreciate it."
The young waiter who was deeply affected by this couldn't help but try to criticize him, "Can you please pull it off? The food you cook only smells okay, but tastes very different. Otherwise, the guests won't pick it after one bite."
I'm going to ask you to pay for it."
boss:"……"
Doesn't he lose face by saying this in front of so many people?
"Shut up, if you say one more thing, I'll fire you!"
Guy: "No need to fire. Your store has closed down because you injured a customer and had no money to pay for medical expenses. My former boss, can you wake up!"
Former boss: “…”
Shu Mingzhi: "..."
The atmosphere in the store is a little awkward.
Mrs. Shu coughed lightly, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the price. Boss, how much money can we sell this store for?"
When the price was mentioned, the boss straightened his back and became energetic again, "My store is in a good location and has many customers. Once I buy tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, etc., I can open it. It's great."
Shu Mingzhi waved his hand in disgust, interrupting him, "Stop trying to trick people, just tell us the price."
The boss cheerfully held out five fingers and said, "I don't want five-nine-nine, four-nine-nine, or three-nine-nine, but only two-nine-nine, and such a good store will be yours!"
Shu Mingzhi: "???"
Why has the price increased?
It's just a small matter, so don't panic.
Shu Mingzhi leaned back in his chair and assumed the shameless haggling attitude of Zhou Shengcai, "Brother, look at my family, which consists of seniors and juniors. We only eat eight kilograms of food in one day.
In addition to eating, I also have to save money to marry my brother, send my brother to school, and buy new clothes and candied haws for my nephew..."
The boss was tired of listening, so he quickly cut off the conversation and said: "Brother, stop reading, why don't I give you a discount? How about two hundred and fifty taels?"
Shu Mingzhi shook his head, "Two hundred and fifty doesn't sound good, let's go for one hundred and fifty."
"How can you bargain like this? No, two hundred and three." The boss was anxious, "The creditors are pressing hard, and my life is not easy. Please understand."
