Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Claim for Life
Just do it, Wang Dong went around the market a few times.
Finally, I found a fruit with a mellow taste and a fruity aroma with a hint of cedar and mint. The color is as black and bright as a black jewel, the leather is light and thin, and the fruit is large and seedless, which is very suitable for making wine!
Then I bought a little flour, and after a simple process, I could make a simple yeast.
I also found a candy cube at a vendor, which was as white as snow and tasted like sugar cane. It's a good way to adjust the acidity of the wine.
Then I came to an empty forest and chose a suitable tree for oak barrels.
As for the money, Wang Dong had already prepared it, and he borrowed 10,000 gold coins from the Yongji shop.
At first, Li Tianyong was reluctant to borrow, but thinking that his shop could become so prosperous was the reason for Wang Dong.
In addition, Wang Dong promised to return the money within a year, and after that, he went to the restaurant to drink at half price, so he reluctantly agreed to Haoxing.
Although he is old-fashioned, he also wants to see a new type of wine invented.
Wang Dong also roughly estimated that the renovation of the house and the purchase of items would add up to almost 9,000 gold coins. To be on the safe side, I borrowed 10,000 yuan.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
Soon, Scar ran over panting, with a slight smile on his face: "Childe, the place has been found, it's on South Street." Sparsely populated, the view is peaceful, and what you asked for!"
Ever since Scar followed Wang Dong, Wang Dong asked Scar to call himself Son. First, you can eliminate the inferiority complex in Scar's heart, and second, you can also feel the ancient charm, which is like killing two birds with one stone!
As for South Street, Wang Dong has also been there. But the people there ignored Wang Dong and didn't believe Wang Dong's words at all. Even if Wang Dong has money, he won't buy his account!
"Which store are you from?"
"It's the restaurant at the end of the street, which can accommodate more than 50 people. I saved the boss once before, so I was very impressed. He was ready to give up the shop and go home to recuperate. ”
Wang Dong nodded slightly, and said secretly: It seems that it was a right choice to fool the scar at the beginning!
"Lao Zhang!"
Soon, the two came to the end of the street and saw the house hidden in the bamboo forest. At the door, an old man with gray temples and a rickety figure came over when he heard the sound.
Seeing that it was a scar, he grinned: "Come in and sit, I'll fry two dishes for you!"
"You don't need to sit, I just told you something, forgot?"
Lao Zhang patted his head and said with a smile: "I remember, I'm old, I can't remember!" By the way, this is ......."
Scar smiled: "I forgot to introduce to you, this is my son-in-law, Wang Dong." The person who wants to buy your store is him. ”
As soon as Scar's words fell, Lao Zhang pulled down his face and snorted:
"What kind of shop can this little doll open!
Then he turned his head to look at Scar: "I'll tell you, Scar, if you want this broken shop, I won't say a word, and I'll give you the store immediately." But this little doll, don't talk about it!"
Seeing that the old man was so stubborn, Wang Dong said: "Old Zhang ......"
"Who is Lao Zhang, no big or small! Am I familiar with you?" As soon as Wang Dong opened his mouth, Lao Zhang looked at him with a hostile expression. Between the eyebrows, there seems to be some irritation.
Wang Dong was dumbfounded, he didn't seem to provoke him, right?
Barely smiled, and changed his words: "Uncle Zhang!"
"Who's your uncle! Don't mess around with relatives here!"
"But you have to have a name, don't you?"
"Call me Grandpa Zhang!"
"Grandpa Zhang, I'm ......"
"Who wants you to call me? You're not welcome here, you go!"
“......”
When Wang Dong worked hard in society in his previous life, he also ran into walls everywhere, and he encountered many similar situations, so he was no longer surprised. At first, I was very angry, but later, I got used to it.
Seeing the two of them like this, Scar hurriedly said, "Lao Zhang, what are you doing here!"
"Scar, don't blame the old man for being ruthless, although this broken shop is not worth a few dollars, but it is also the old man's life's work!
"Put it into your hands, no matter what, I will admit it to the old man. Who told you to be my savior?
Lao Zhang's attitude is resolute and tough, and there is no room for negotiation!
Scar was helpless and persuaded: "Lao Zhang, you also said that I am your life-saving benefactor, so I am willing to hand over the store to me." But this person is also my life-saving benefactor, and if it weren't for him, my schizophrenia would not have been cured!
"I'm determined to follow Childe now, and I'll go wherever he goes! If you still recognize me as a friend, help me and sell the shop to Childe. Scar is here, thank you very much!"
Lao Zhang's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he looked at Wang Dong suspiciously: "What Scar said, is it true?"
Speaking of schizophrenia, Wang Dong was still a little embarrassed. If it weren't for this, Scar wouldn't have followed him.
Moreover, wouldn't it be bad to take an eye exercise to deceive people?
Wang Dong blinked and said stubbornly: "It's true." ”
Lao Zhang looked Wang Dong up and down, and said in surprise: "You can cure the disease?"
"Other diseases are not very curable, but this schizophrenia has an ancestral method, and the effect is good. ”
Pointing to Scar's forehead, he said, "Look at this black line, is it much lighter than before?"
"Did you have black lines before? Why don't I remember?" Lao Zhang stared at Scar's forehead for a long time, unable to see why.
"Okay Lao Zhang, don't ask, can this matter be fake? Since I followed my son, I have slept a lot every day. Every time Childe treats me, he feels refreshed, and his eyes see very clearly!"
Lao Zhang nodded suspiciously, and then stopped asking.
Wang Dong breathed a sigh of relief, if he continued to ask, he would inevitably show his feet. I don't know anything about seeing a doctor......
"In that case, I won't say more, I'll hand over this shop to you for the time being. Money, I don't want either. If, in a month's time, you can open this shop in a decent way, I won't say anything. If not, I'll take back this shop, and I'll go back to where you came from!"
"Don't worry, I will live up to your expectations!"
Wang Dong saw that Lao Zhang had changed his mind and immediately responded, for fear that he would change his mind.
One month, that's enough!
Although Lao Zhang is so old, he shouldn't take advantage of this. But considering that he doesn't have much money at the moment, the tavern will have to spend money everywhere after it is taken. And the ten beggars who are about to be recruited, who will do it for themselves without food or gold coins?
And to provide a full meal, you still have to have money!
Wang Dong thought that after his restaurant began to make a profit, he would pay back some money every month, and it was estimated that he would be able to repay it in a year.
It took two hours to send all of Lao Zhang's things to his home, and then thanked him again.
Faced with an empty house, Wang Dong began his own renovation plan. This point was also agreed with Lao Zhang. After all, Wang Dong can't guarantee that the people here will like the wine they brew.
Lao Zhang promised, no matter how Wang Dong changes, as long as he doesn't tear down the house, there will be no problem.
Now, Wang Dong was relieved.
It took several hours to list my renovation plan and draw a pattern.
In my previous life, I worked as a decorator, learned to make wine, did pastry, and worked as a waiter. It can be said that as long as it is related to business, I have more or less tried or understood it.
And design is my favorite thing. Every 'work' is designed, and I will be happy for a long time.
Now that you have plenty of money, you can design better.
According to their own plans, the house will be divided into six parts: a liquor production workshop, a winemaking room, a kitchen, a private room, a bedroom, and a cellar.
The original house obviously did not meet its own requirements, so it needed to be expanded and a second floor was built. The second floor was built into a private room, and some furnishings were added to make the monotonous wooden house look more atmospheric.
The private room is divided into three themes: poetry, vocal music, and dinner.
The poetry room mainly entertains literati and ink writers, hangs a number of famous poems and paintings on the wall, and prepares the four treasures of the study room and the sandalwood bookcase, named Qing Yaxuan.
The vocal music room mainly entertains people who like music, there are three kinds of musical instruments: qin, xiao and flute, and some smaller green bamboo and elegant screens are placed in the room, named Tianyin Pavilion.
The dinner room is mainly for entertaining dignitaries, and there are two kinds of rooms: pleasing to the eye and luxurious. According to the needs of different people to provide, respectively named Qinglian Xuan, Donglai Pavilion.
As for the main liquor production workshops and winemaking rooms, I redrew the drawings of the utensils myself, and asked the blacksmiths and carpenters to build them when the time came.
In the kitchen, I'm going to have to do some work. You can also borrow the names of those eye-catching dishes from previous lives, and then change them slightly according to the ingredients here.
Half a month later, with the help of ten beggars and Scar, the restaurant was finally renovated.
Looking at the completed restaurant, Wang Dong couldn't help but think with bad taste: Fortunately, there is no chengguan here, otherwise the second floor will be demolished.
