There are four big characters on it, Yuanlai inn.

Is this the inn that's struggling?

Yang Xinyu took a step and went in with his feet raised.

There was only one old man in the inn. When he saw Yang Xinyu coming, he immediately said, "my guest, do you want to eat or stay?"

Yang Xinyu looked at him and asked, "are you the manager of this inn?"

The old man remembered that when the sheriff came, he said that a girl would take over the inn in two days. He immediately said, "yes, I'm the innkeeper of this inn. Are you the girl who came to take over the inn?"

Seeing that the old man looked like a businessman, Yang Xinyu said, "yes, my name is Yang Xinyu. What do you call me, grandfather?"

The old man remembered Su Xigui's advice before he left. He immediately bowed down and said, "my name is Baiyunshan. I've been the innkeeper of this inn for more than ten years. If you don't mind, I'll call my name."

Yang Xinyu even picked him up and said politely, "grandfather Bai, I just came to take care of the shop for Mr. Su. It has nothing to do with him. But you know this inn better than I do, and you will help me more in the future. "

She's not such a big shot as Su Xigui. How can Bai Yunshan be said to be an elder? How can there be any reason for the elder to salute her?

Baiyunshan was a little surprised. He had seen many people who acted recklessly by knowing senior officials. It was the first time that he wanted to get rid of the relationship with adults.

He insisted, "Miss Yang, Mr. Su asked me to help you. You will be my superior in the future."

Yang Xinyu pressed the temple and was helpless. "Grandfather Bai, I don't know what Mr. Su said to you, but as an elder, you don't have to be so formal."

Since Yang Xinyu says so, is there any reason why Baiyunshan does not comply?

He touched the gray beard and said, "young lady, since you say so, I'm not polite to you, but if you need anything, just tell me. I live for this inn."

Since this inn is still in operation, we can see the problem more intuitively from the account book.

Yang Xinyu immediately said, "grandfather Bai, please show me the account books of this inn. I want to know about the operation of the inn."

Baiyunshan had expected this time and prepared the account book in advance.

"Miss Yang, the account books of the inn in the past four years are all here. There are also those in the previous years, but they are all in the warehouse."

"Four years is enough." Yang Xinyu said, turning to the farthest year, she was surprised to see the number above.

"Four years ago, one month's income was one hundred taels of silver?"

What's the concept of one hundred taels of silver? Four years ago, Taibai county should be poorer than it is now. How can it earn so much at one go?

Bai Yunshan hesitated and asked, "didn't Mr. Su tell Miss Yang?"

Yang Xinyu said blankly, "what are you talking about? Mr. Su only told me that you are still working hard to run a shop

Is it hard for her to be put together by Su Xi?

Bai Yunshan sighed. It turned out that Miss Yang, who took over from the inn, had not made clear the situation.

Well, since Lord Su wants him to help, he should say, "well, actually, this shop originally belonged to the original sheriff."

Yang Xinyu is a civilian who has just worn it. How can he know this?

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "former Sheriff? What kind of law did he break and get fired? "

In other words, Su Xigui is a new one, that is, the old one. Why did he step down?

Seeing that she didn't know anything, Bai Yunshan explained from the beginning, "the original sheriff's name was Sun Bin. He was investigated for corruption."

Yang Xinyu soon understood, "in other words, this inn is also a source of his corruption?"

An inn located in the suburb has a monthly income of one hundred Liang. How can it be suspicious.

Bai Yunshan was very appreciative and said, "Miss Yang is really smart. I don't have to tell you that this inn is a way for Sun Bin to take bribes in private. People who come here to eat have their demands from Sun Bin, and the prices of the dishes are very high. That's why she has such a high income."

Yang Xinyu suddenly realized that he had turned over the account book for the next two years and said, "I see that the business in the first two years was not bad, that is to say, the business has only gone from bad to worse since the last year. Why?"

That Sun Bin should have stepped down recently. Even if his business has deteriorated, should it be after he was investigated?

Bai Yunshan waved his hand and said, "two years ago, the imperial court began to crack down on corruption and bribery. Sun Bin was cautious and afraid of being investigated, so he stopped trading in the inn."

Yang Xinyu said with a puzzled face, "stop the trading in the inn? Then why let the inn go on? "

Bai Yunshan explained, "in order not to attract the attention of the imperial envoy who came to check, I adjusted the price of the food in order to keep the inn open. However, some young masters from rich families will come to support me, but as time goes on, it becomes less and less.""Do you have the menu after changing the price?" Yang Xinyu touched his chin and asked.

It seems that Sun Bin is very cautious. In this way, he has been investigated and dealt with. The disputes within the imperial court are really terrible.

"Menu?" It's the first time that Baiyunshan heard of this word, but he thought it was very fresh and interesting.

"Miss Yang, the menu you said is a list with the price of the food on it?"

Yang Xinyu found that he didn't pay attention to pop up a modern vocabulary, and said, "that's the meaning."

Bai Yunshan pointed to his head and said, "there's no need to write it down. I'll remember it. If Miss Yang has any questions, just ask."

Yang Xinyu had never been to the inn. He didn't know what dishes were sold here, so he said, "then you can quote the price of home dishes."

"Inside the purse, one hundred Wen, fried beef with scallion, one hundred and twenty Wen -" Bai Yunshan was interrupted by Yang Xinyu before he could say a word of money.

"Wait, are these home cooked?"

How can ordinary people afford such a price?

Baiyunshan didn't think there was any problem. "These are the cheapest dishes. What's the problem?"

Yang Xinyu called out, "this is a big problem. Things are so expensive, at least they taste better. If the taste is more common, how can people come to eat?"

Bai Yunshan felt that Yang Xinyu was right. "Miss Yang, you're right. Our family is short of cooks. Although I've been to many restaurants and want to poach the cooks, they all dislike that Yuanlai inn is too shabby and too small. Even if the price is too high, no one agrees."

Yang Xinyu thinks that this is not a problem. The key is that the shop is broken and biased. How can anyone come?
