Chapter 204 Buying a restaurant

Liu Lianjiang opened the door of the house, and the three of us entered the courtyard. This Liu Yansong took out the pen. Start counting where it needs to be repaired. It wasn't counted until late in the evening. I also have nothing to do with Liu Lianjiang to take a walk around. Especially those mounds there. We also went to see it. Because it has now been filled in. I don't see anything famous. Watching Liu Yansong leave. Liu Lianjiang and I just returned to the courtyard of 'Jade' Horse Lane.

Someone at home is waiting for me. It is the housekeeper of Zhang Juzheng's house. The housekeeper looked at me and said, "Lord Lan, my lord asked me to tell you. The days of this apprenticeship are already promising. It's the day after tomorrow. Suitable for apprenticeship. My family asked me to inform Lan Daren. The hour is the best time at noon. Please don't delay the hour."

"Thank you, butler. Go back and thank the teacher on my behalf. I'm not going to lose time."

Sent away the housekeeper of Zhang's house. I asked Lao Liu, "Brother Liu. Do you want a gift for this apprentice? What needs to be done."

"Young Master. This apprenticeship is to prepare gifts. To prepare. Two sets of paper, ink, pen and inkstone. Two sets of clothes. That's all. I can't 'spend' a lot of money. I don't know the etiquette when I get there."

"That's good. Brother Liu. You're going out tomorrow to get a gift. It's all the best. Lake pen. Duan Yan. Paper. Pine ink is not bad. I've seen the world as a teacher. Something bad makes him laugh."

"Young Master, this will cost a lot of money. Duan Yan will cost more than 1,000 taels of silver. As for those, not much. It's this inkstone."

"Don't be afraid to 'spend' money. It's just the best thing. It's normal to go to Zhang's mansion."

The next day, I took Liu Lianjiang to Guozijian. Want to see what they're doing there. Recruit somebody.

Arrived at the Guozijian. I'll go to the sacrificial wine first. Because the country is too big. I don't know what's going on inside. There is nowhere to go to them. The sacrificial wine is reading a book in the house. Look at me coming. Shi Li got up and asked, "Lord Lan. Why do you have time to come to me today?"

"Lord Sake. I came here to see how they were hiring people here. How many people have been recruited."

"I don't know this yet. Or I'll send someone to take you to see it."

"Thank you, then, sir."

The sacrificial wine made a scribe take us to the backyard. The backyard is also huge. I walked for a long time before I came to a bungalow. I saw a table outside. Because it's not class time. There was no one at the table. The scribe took us to the 'door' of a room. Tell me, "Lord Lan. This is where they live. Now it's not outside it, it's inside the house. I'll go back first."

I asked Liu Lianjiang to give the scribe a tael of silver. The scribe thanked him and left. I'm coming to the 'door'. I heard a voice talking inside. I listened carefully for a while. Which Liu County Order is talking about the collection and storage of money and grain. There is also Wang Jinhuai's question. There was also an unfamiliar voice.

I knocked on the 'door' and came from the voice of Liu County's order: "Who. Come in yourself."

Push the 'door' in. I saw Liu Xianling sitting in the first place. Wang Jinhuai and a strange young man sat down. Look I'm coming. Several people stood up and saluted. I also returned the favor. It's all my own family here. There's no need to put on an official show. I asked them to sit down. I also found a chair and sat down and asked, "Lord Liu, is this lecturing?"

"yes. I'll tell Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang about money and food. I didn't expect you to come."

"It's okay, I'm worried that you're not going to be here. Check it out by the way. I don't know how you're doing here."

Liu Xianling sighed and said, "Alas. Oh not good. These students are all thinking about going to the Jinshi exam. There is a genuine brand origin. In the past two days, this Shu Bin has come by himself. Everything else is on the sidelines. You don't think it's going to be a good idea."

"Then is there any way for Lord Liu to get the students to sign up?"

"Is this it. It's best to give Shubin a name first. That way, those students know that this is also their way to progression. I'm going to sign up."

"Oh well. I'll do it now. Sui Jian's 'spring' went there. Why didn't you see him?

"I arranged for him to buy food. Eat early. Waiting for the students to get out of class. We're going to start hiring."

The situation here is not good. I don't have the heart to wait any longer here. Time is tight right now. Arrest them, and the officials will first bring their official uniforms and official seals. This will arouse the interest of other students. It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to find a good student in the future. There's no way around now. That's it.

Hit the officials first. I went to see Shangshu. Shangshu knew that this was what the emperor meant. Didn't say anything. The arranger gave me a set of seven-grade official uniforms. A set of official offices from the seven products also have a seal letter. Take these things with you. I hurried back to the country.

The official uniform of the seventh grade is for Wang Jinhuai. The official uniform from the seventh grade was given to Shu Bin. I told Liu County Order. Let Shu Bin go to the dormitory of the students for a walk if he has nothing to do. You're here for two days. When we typed out the news came out to find someone.

Liu County Ling also agreed. He said, "It's still Lord Lan's clever method. Mobilize their interest. Let's take another handful. The students are not in a hurry. There are more people like this. We can also pick out good students. I'm going to 'get' a roll. If there are many people, I will interview first. Then the exam decides who will stay and go. What do you think?"

"Not bad. It's a good idea. You decide for yourself who you want to take Lord Liu. I'm going to go to our new 'gate' to have a look. It's going to be repaired today. I don't know if the Ministry of Industry sent someone to go."

I don't care about it for the time being. I'm also doing too much. came out of the country and walked to Xiao Cai's mansion again. Arrived at Xiao Cai's house. The maintenance workers of the Ministry of Works are already packing up. This book is really good. There is no procrastination at all. In charge of the scene is still yesterday's scribe Shu Bin. Look at me coming. Put down the drawings in your hand and come over and ask Andao: "Lord Lan is here. Today has officially begun. What more could Lan people ask for? Let me know in advance. I'll arrange for the workers to clean up."

"Actually, I don't have any requirements. It's just to give me the first few 'door' noodle rooms to 'get' a better one. I'll leave everything to you, brother."

"Lord Lan is polite. In the following responsibilities are located. is as it should be. If you want to be busy, go and get busy. Here's me."

"Okay. Then you're busy, I'll go back first. There are still quite a few things to do at home. I'll come back another day."

Out of Xiao Cai's house. It was noon. I went to that restaurant again. Just in time to hear the guy sighing. I asked, "Little second brother. What's wrong. Sigh what."

"You don't know this sir. Our boss wants to transfer the restaurant. If you have a new owner. Our jobs will be lost in the future. It's winter. Business is not good either. There is no more recruitment from that restaurant. How can my family of five celebrate the New Year?"

As soon as I heard that this restaurant was going to be transferred. What a great opportunity. Here you can see Xiao Cai's house. If you put this wine building down. You can also be an eye and ear in the future.

I said to the little two: "Little second brother, your surname. Your home is there."

The little two didn't dare to sit down. He stood and returned: "My lord. My name is Wang Buji. Home is the capital. I don't know why adults are asking this."

"Brother Wang.. I don't know if your boss has found a buyer now."

"Not yet. I just told you about it today. No one has contacted us yet. You see, there's not even a sign at the door."

"That's good. Brother Wang, do you want to continue to do it?"

The adult laughed. Of course I want to keep going. Our family still depends on my salary."

"So be it. You go and call your boss. I'll talk to him and I don't know if it's okay."

"Sir, wait a minute. I'll go down there and call someone for you."

After the little two went down. After a while, a middle-aged man with a thin face and a sleek-yellow face came to my box. Come in at the 'door' and give me a salute. I asked, "Shopkeeper, please sit down."

The shopkeeper sat down and asked, "Your Excellency. Is there something wrong with you?"

"That's the shopkeeper. I've heard that your restaurant is going to be transferred. I have a friend who is looking for a restaurant to run a restaurant. If the shopkeeper has not yet bought it. We can discuss it. How about I ask my friend to come over to you?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, this was the case. The face was delighted and the face was happy, and he replied: "Okay. Thank you, my lord. Call your friend over that afternoon. The price is negotiable."

I saw that the shopkeeper was in such a hurry to sell. I don't know what's wrong with this. He asked, "Shopkeeper." I think your restaurant is doing a good business. Why do you want to sell it? Can you tell me about it? Whatever the reason. I've bought your restaurant."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a while before he said, "Your Excellency. I'm doing a good job here. This is this period of time. There's a splash here. Go around collecting protection money. A restaurant like mine costs twenty taels a month. I can't make that much in a month. How do you say let's live? So the villain wanted to transfer the restaurant. You can't help but buy it, my lord."

"Won't not buy it. You can rest assured of this. It's just the shopkeeper, can you tell me what's going on with this protection fee?"

"That's right. It turned out to be quiet here. Until last month, an adult moved to us. He had a son who did all kinds of evil. Come to eat every day without giving money or talking. There is also a protection fee. Those with an official background. He didn't dare to go. Just come and bully our little people who don't have any background here. I really can't run it anymore."

I looked at the shopkeeper. Not like a 'treacherous' man. Asked, "Shopkeeper's. Where are you from. What is it called. What are you going to do when you sell the restaurant in the future?"

"My lord. I'm from Beijing. The villain's cheap name is Zhang Hongke. This restaurant was left by my father. If I could, I wouldn't sell it. I'm going to sell the restaurant and start a small business. I don't have any other skills. I only make a living by doing small business."
