Chapter 844: Supply

Mrs. Jing was in a bit of a dilemma, she just bought the man, and before signing the deed of sale, she wanted to take it home first, and she had a good talk with Cuiniang, so as to plan for the future.

It is not easy for a woman to raise children, let alone four daughters.

Mrs. Jing wanted to ask Cuiniang what she meant, so she didn't dare to say anything, "Ma'am, the old lady has to take someone to Qingshui Village first, and teach him some rules before sending him to you."

"Well, that's okay. The family needs manpower, as soon as possible."

Li Haitang was not in a hurry to employ people, but instead tried to find a way to Qingshui Village, and then continued to inquire about Zhuang Ke's life experience.

After Zhuang Mu's father separated, he seldom interacted with others. The whole family rented a house outside and moved all the time. The neighbors around were not very familiar with the family.

"If not, I'll come to the door tomorrow, and let's hand over the deed of sale first."

Mrs. Jing thought that Li Haitang was an outsider, so she was not at ease with her. She took the fixed money and didn't express anything, so she said so.

"Tomorrow, I happen to be going out to do errands, and I happen to pass by Qingshui Village, so you don't have to make a trip in vain."

Li Haitang thought that if he wanted to know about Zhuang Ke, he might have to get close to Mrs. Jing and ask for something from the middle.

But the two were not familiar with each other at all, so it was a bit abrupt to suddenly inquire about the dealer's situation.

The two sides negotiated and met tomorrow in Qingshui Village. Mrs. Jing drove away in a donkey cart, but Li Haitang did not move for a long time.

She stroked her chin thoughtfully.

For some reason, she had a premonition that within two or three days, there would be a breakthrough in the case, and maybe something would happen suddenly, fueling the flames and letting the truth come to light.

He and the Lin family have already changed shops, and they can start to decorate. Li Haitang has to ask someone to find a more reliable family, preferably a smart and skillful craftsman who doesn't cut corners and can understand her ideas.

The buffet on the first floor and the hot pot on the second floor will surely be booming when they open in the future.

Being free, Li Haitang asked Second Uncle Chen to visit the shop of Songhe Academy. The pastry shop was closed. Lin Wan gave her a key and kept one for herself, saying that she would wait for the things in the shop to be removed. do handover.

Li Short Legs was at the entrance of the wine shop, and a tall man stood beside him. The two pointed outside the shop, and they didn't even notice the carriage approaching.

"Ma'am, this is Carpenter Wang. He is well-known in the capital, and his work is neat."

Li Short Legs hangs out all day long, and knows a lot of people of all levels and backgrounds. If he has a good job, he will definitely let his brother come first.

The person he introduced, Li Haitang was very relieved. She took out a blueprint from the carriage. The upstairs is temporarily closed, so it can be renovated slowly, mainly for the buffet. It is necessary to optimize the space to the maximum extent and place more tables, chairs and benches.

Moreover, the lacquer surface on the tables and chairs will burn marks if you put some hot things on it, so she plans to spend more money to add a layer of hot marble boards on top of the wood.

"It can be made in the style of the sea. Above the dining table, you can use iron art to make a few chandeliers."

Carpenter Wang does have a few brushes, which are not just for nothing, and the proposal is very pertinent.

The whole street is very bookish, but the food shop, with calligraphy and paintings of flowers, birds, fish and insects pasted everywhere, does not seem so down-to-earth.

He feels that it is necessary to come up with new ideas and innovations in order to continue to attract people.

"Songhe Restaurant has a special private room with a small knob, you can peep and peep."

Speaking of the streets here, not only scholars, but also those rich ladies who come to find husbands and sons-in-law. The ladies need a separate place to rest. After all, men and women have different seats when they are seven years old. Everyone sits together and cannot let go.

"Well, that's a good idea."

There is a place in front of the shop, which is suddenly a little higher, where partitions can be built to make a separate small building, a total of six or seven rooms can be made up and down, and the view is good, it is specially used as a private room, if a lady wants to come to eat , please enter it.

Li Haitang rubbed his chin, and said that the etiquette in Kyoto is strict, it's just lip service, those ladies are still crazy to find a good husband.

No, many scholars have already left their caves today, carrying buckets to write and draw on the street. Some scholars passed by the wine shop and sighed when they saw that it was still closed.

"Excuse me, when will the restaurant open?"

The person who asked the question was like this. There are several places in Kyoto that sell Baihua wine, but they are far away from each other. It is not easy for them to go down the mountain, and they don't want to go back and forth.

"Half a month later."

Seeing someone asking, Li Haitang hastily advertised his new shop, promoting the concept of eating all you can, and asked the scholar, "How much does your lunch meal cost?"

Those who can come to Songhe Academy have looser hands. After hearing this, the scholar said with a smile, "If you are on the mountain and eat with everyone, twenty cents will be enough."

A stack of vegetarian dishes and a big steamed bun cost 20 Wen.

Li Haitang clicked his tongue, this configuration, put it in the border town, two cents to get it, and the capital is ten times more expensive.

She thought for a while, and then said, "If there is a restaurant, the food is delicious and there are many varieties, fish, vegetables, fruits, pastries, everything is available, and there is no limit. How much do you think is suitable?"

"Is there such a place? Where is it?"

The scholar was excited, and he had never heard of a place to eat casually. He doesn't eat much and can't eat much, but eating whatever he wants means free choice, which he never thought of.

"Far in the sky, close in sight."

Li Haitang pointed to his own shop and revealed that it will open in half a month. Each meal is limited to one hour, and you can eat whatever you want without wasting it.

The price is set at sixty-six yuan for lunch and eighty-eight yuan for dinner.

The price is very reasonable, and the scholar can afford it. The rest is the taste of the dishes. She said that if she is too lazy to go down the mountain, they can have a special person deliver it.

"Is this true? You're not lying to me, are you?"

The scholar was very surprised, feeling like a pie falling from the sky.

Seeing his expression, Li Haitang knew that the other party didn't take the money seriously, and it was completely within the acceptable range.

She wanted to raise the price, but after thinking about it, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. After all, she started to gain a foothold in the capital and could not make too much money, which would easily cause dissatisfaction among the entire street.

Songhe Restaurant takes the high-end route, so she has a down-to-earth civilian approach.

Since there is a buffet, dishes, chicken and duck, etc., someone needs to supply them. Only half a month later, the cowhide was blown out. Craftsman Wang had to lead people to work overtime to catch up with the work, and Li Kuangleg also had something to do, so he searched for supplies non-stop.

"Madam, in the village of Chunmei's family, there are people who specialize in raising chickens and ducks, and there are a lot of vegetables that the family can't finish." It's good, the fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields, and it costs money to buy anyone, so it's better to go to Chunmei's In the village, maybe the father-in-law would gain face in the future, and when he got excited, he immediately agreed to his marriage with Chunmei.
