Chapter 254 Go to the provincial capital together
What's the matter with the feeling that I have been deceived!
Zhou Hansheng was very frank, with a smile on his face, as if this was a matter of course, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.
Chasing a wife requires a thick skin, especially when he is in a special situation. If I am more embarrassed, where will my daughter-in-law go to cry?
"By the way, when I passed by the provincial capital, I happened to know that a good restaurant was being sold. Because the place is so big, it won't be sold for a while. Are you interested? Why don't we go and have a look?"
Zhou Hansheng wanted to travel alone with her.
Zhao Liya had this idea a long time ago, and her eyes lit up when she heard the words: "Shall I go now? But, the shop may have been taken by someone."
"Probably not, even if it's gone, just find another suitable one."
Zhou Hansheng gave the owner a deposit, and also told people that he would go to see it again within a month, and the price was negotiable. If he doesn't go to see it within a month, the deposit will be forfeited.
One hundred taels of silver!
Who would be too little to earn for nothing?
So, even if there are other buyers to visit the restaurant, the owner surnamed Lin will definitely try to delay until a month later before making a decision on whether to make a deal.
It has only been less than half a month now, how can such a big restaurant be so easy to sell?
Zhao Liya felt that what he said was reasonable, and nodded decisively: "Okay, let's go now! There is nothing else at home recently, just right!"
When the sugar cane starts to be harvested and the sugar mill starts, she will not be so idle.
After harvesting the first wave of sugarcane and having seeds, they planted the second wave, and then went to Zhong Jing's place. Soon it was time to harvest sweet potatoes and potatoes. By the way, she also wanted to take time to go to Hainan Island again.
Until the end of the year, the time is already full.
Zhou Hansheng was very happy, "Let's set off tomorrow."
There is nothing wrong with going early and returning early, Zhao Liya nodded: "Okay."
As soon as this was said, no one in the family objected.
Only Zhao Xiang, couldn't help but look at Zhou Hansheng twice more. Although there was no evidence, he always felt that he came prepared, and planned to seduce his daughter a long time ago, right?
After all, Zhou Hansheng knows very well that his daughter's mind is making money now.
Because it was opening a restaurant, Shu Yan and Lin Mo also went together. Shu Yan's craftsmanship is used to intimidate the hired chefs, and by the way, to pass on experience and give pointers.
Ling Hu didn't go, but stayed in the village, and took care of some daily affairs here with Steward Xiaoliang.
Especially for those villages that are planning to grow sugarcane, it will take some time to count the number of acres planted by each family.
Uncle Hu will also go with him, and the recruitment of manpower is inseparable from his old man.
The group set off the next day and arrived in the provincial capital the next day.
Zhao Liya was very satisfied when she saw the restaurant.
The whole restaurant is three stories high, spacious and tall, decorated very grandly, and looks very new. If the owner didn't have a special reason, it is expected that he would not sell it.
The best thing is that the backyard is also very spacious, and there is a large warehouse, which is very convenient.
The lobby on the first floor and the second floor will be converted into semi-partition booths, and the third floor will be made into private rooms, which is just right.
It was not the owner himself who showed them the house, but the entrusted middleman. Seeing that Zhao Liya and the others were quite satisfied, they spared no effort to introduce them.
He didn't lie all the time, this location is indeed good. Although it is not on the main street, it is only one street away from the main street.
The two parties bargained for a while, and finally settled the deal with 6,500 taels of silver.
In a place like the provincial capital, this price is by no means high, on the contrary, the market price is slightly lower.
It's just that the total price is not low, so several interested people hesitated to give up after reading it.
After all, after taking over such a large place, the only way to do it is to continue to build a restaurant. If you change it to something else, you will have to invest a lot of money in the decoration and layout, which is not cost-effective.
It is hardly locals who need such a large space to run a restaurant. Old brands of restaurants run by locals naturally have their own restaurants, and even if they open branches, they rarely need such a large place.
Successfully won the restaurant, while carrying out simple renovations, while recruiting all parties.
So Uncle Hu started to get busy again, Lin Mo and Shu Yan helped him.
From the chef, the shopkeeper, the cashier, the clerk, to the handyman, Uncle Hu is meticulous and has to personally look at each one.
In the bustling provincial capital, there is a lot of people turnover, and there are naturally many people of all kinds looking for jobs and waiting to be hired, but it is not easy to choose the right one from them.
The role of mediators is inevitable. Uncle Hu never saves money in this regard. The better the mediators are, the more expensive they are, but the information they hold is more valuable.
Uncle Hu is very proficient in doing these things, so there is no need for Zhao Liya to worry about it. She only needs to discuss among the few people selected by Uncle Hu to make a final decision.
Zhao Liya had a headache at first, and wished that Uncle Hu could do it for her.
Zhou Hansheng took the opportunity to take her for a stroll in the provincial capital and out of the city for fun.
On this day, the two of them went out of the city to a famous local scenic spot. When they came back in the evening, they ordered and ate at the inn together. The hiring went smoothly. Tomorrow, the shopkeeper, accountant, and three or four assistants could be finalized. So everyone is in a good mood.
Uncle Hu smiled and said: "When there are shopkeepers, accountants, and buddies, let them prepare for the restaurant. For the chef, let them look at three. When our kitchen is ready, let them all come and try it. There is no problem." Then you can sign it. By the way, I will go to the dental store again and buy a few handymen and assistants. If there are good ones, I can enter the kitchen and learn how to cook from the chef."
Uncle Hu thinks long-term, it would be better to have his own cook in the future! It is too late to start cultivating from now on.
Lin Mo couldn't help but said: "Can the hired chef teach the apprentices we put in? I heard that those craftsmen are very careful about their skills."
Zhao Liya is full of confidence in this point: "Others can't do it, but we can do it. Don't forget the recipes in Sister Shu Yan's hands. If they want to learn, they have to teach our people well."
Shu Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "Aren't all the recipes here belong to you? If someone wants to learn, they must pay some price."
Normal exchange, no one will suffer.
These will be clearly written in the contract.
Hearing this, Lin Mo looked at Shu Yan tenderly, and said with a smile, "That's true!"
With his wife in charge, his wife's skill can frighten a lot of chefs, and any chef will be convinced by his wife.
Everyone had dinner in the private room, and when they were about to go back to their rooms to rest, there was a commotion from below, the sound of footsteps was disturbed, and a group of officials rushed straight towards them.
