Volume 3 Xuanwu Gate Chapter 112 Restaurant (I)
Since he agreed to Li Shimin, Mingyu threw his mind on opening a restaurant.
The efficiency of the manager Lao Wang is high, and in less than a day's work, he found a suitable restaurant shop in the West Market, and the price was 100 yuan.
This restaurant is located in the most prosperous area of Chang'an West City. The three-storey faΓ§ade is very magnificent, the first and second floors are the lobby, and the third floor is a private room, which can accommodate 100 tables of guests at the same time.
The interior decoration is quite elegant, with a solid wood table case of Yishui, cashmere carpets, and a lot of ink treasures of literati and hanging on the wall, which shows that the original owner also put a lot of thought into it.
It is said that it is located in a prosperous area like the West Market, and it will not be reduced to a store anyway. Mingyu looked at the scale, decoration, and location of this restaurant, and said that it was 100 yuan, that is, the asking price was 500 yuan, and someone broke his head to grab it.
Mingyu was afraid that Lao Wang would bully others and force him to buy and sell, so he specially called the original proprietor to come over and ask the reason. When I asked, I found out that the original owner of the relationship was still in a hurry to send it to the door.
The original owner is also surnamed Li, a young man under twenty years old, born white and fat, but his eyes are swollen like peaches, and he still has filial piety on his body.
It turns out that this restaurant is also a time-honored brand in Chang'an, and it has been in Chang'an since the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Because it is located in Wangshi, coupled with the fact that the Li family sells and sells fairly, the wine and food are delicious, and it was really a good market and business was prosperous in the past.
With this restaurant, the Li family can't say that it is not a day to make money, but it also has some industry, buying land and making slaves call maids, but it can be regarded as a solid family.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, it became the Tang Dynasty, and the original backer of the Li family restaurant also fell. Because his restaurant is located in Wangshi, it naturally arouses the eyes of many people, and they come to make up their minds twice in three days.
The original owner of the restaurant, that is, the young man's father, naturally refused, but unfortunately doing business in Chang'an, if there is no backer behind him, how can he be too peaceful.
There are often those gangsters, gangsters and rangers who come to make trouble, either eat white food, or just find a random excuse to fight in the restaurant, and as soon as they are affected, the business suddenly plummets.
The old club was in a hurry to get back on a backer, but unfortunately there was no way, and a lot of money was put in, but he still didn't get an accurate word.
In the end, after many inquiries, I finally understood that his restaurant was taken in by the little master of the Dugu family. And the price is extremely low, almost no different from giving it away for nothing, and the old owner is naturally unwilling to give up the business handed down by his ancestors. His ignorance annoyed the Dugu family. Let out the wind, it is inevitable for this restaurant, and these troublesome rangers are naturally good things he sent people to do.
In the past two months, the uproar has become even worse. The cook was busy in the room, and suddenly caught fire and was almost burned to death. When the running guy was soliciting customers, he was inexplicably interrupted by a group of thugs. There were not many customers in the restaurant, and a group of splashers came into the store and smashed them at the end of the three days.
There has been a series of man-made accidents in the restaurant, so naturally it can't be done. The old club wants to sue the official, but people are soft-spoken, how can they fight in the face of a behemoth like the Dugu family? In addition, the old owner is old, and he even held his breath and brought the nest fire, and he didn't come up in one breath, so he went to the west.
The Li family has been passed down for several generations, leaving only this young man, crying bitterly, and in desperation, he had no choice but to dismiss the guys in the restaurant and bury his father, intending to find out the root cause of the restaurant.
But the notice has been hung out for a month, and the price has dropped again and again, and no one has been interested.
happened to catch up with Mingyu to take down the storefront, Lao Wang just sent someone to the market to inquire, and happened to be heard by this young man, without saying a word, he took his own house deed, Mao recommended himself, and came to the door.
Mingyu suddenly realized after hearing this, it turned out that it was a good thing done by the Dugu family, no wonder no one dared to take over.
He nodded and asked the young man, "What's your name?" β
The young man bowed and replied, "Back to Xiao Langjun, my surname is Li, and my name is Li Ming." β
Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart This is really a coincidence, it is the same as my previous name. I couldn't help but feel a little closer to this young man, he thought for a while and said, "Your restaurant, don't say it's a hundred, it's three hundred, five hundred can make people grab their heads." That Dugu family is arrogant and domineering, and he takes it by force, but I naturally can't let you lose money, so let's count it according to five hundred yuan. β
After hearing this, the young man named Li Ming's eyes turned red, and he knelt down with a "bang", and said sadly, "Thank you Xiaolangjun for your grace!" I only need a hundred! If Xiao Langjun is willing to keep my family's ancestral signboard, I don't want a penny! β
"Huh?" Mingyu said in his heart, is there such a good thing in this world? Keep an ancestral signboard and don't take a penny, give me a restaurant for nothing? Mingyu was suspicious in his heart, and asked, "Don't take a penny?" Give me for nothing? What are your intentions? β
The young man lay on the ground, kowtowed, and replied, "The villain is not for anything else, just because Xiao Langjun was outside Chang'an City before, and he cleaned up the Dugu family's mess!" β
Mingyu looked at this young man named Li Ming, gritting his teeth with hatred, and suddenly understood. Seeing that this young man looks doughy, his heart is also extremely strong and hard. He laughed and said, "So you know who I am." β
The young man named Li Ming kowtowed again, and replied, "Don't dare to deceive, who in Chang'an City doesn't know Xiao Langjun's name at the moment!" When Xiao Langjun first arrived in Chang'an, he ruthlessly cleaned up the Dugu family and other general squirts, which was very happy, and the people vied with each other to praise it. As soon as the villain heard that Xiao Langjun wanted to Pan Jia Restaurant, he came to the door by himself. I would like to give my ancestral restaurant with both hands, without taking a penny, just ask Xiao Langjun to keep the brand name and signboard that has been handed down by my family for more than 100 years, so that I have a thought in my heart! β
Mingyu frowned, not that he suspected that this young man had ulterior motives, but he felt that by doing so, it was a bit of a danger to take advantage of others, and a bit of a coercion to repay the favor.
Wang De, the chief attendant, saw that this young man's background was also pitiful, and he was also moved, and persuaded on the side, "Mingyu, in my opinion, you can accept it." He offended the lonely family, looking at the entire Chang'an City, this restaurant, in addition to our Qin Wangfu, which one else is willing to accept it, and which one dares to accept it! β
Seeing that Mingyu was still hesitating, Wang De said again, "Otherwise, I'll look at this, Li Ming, you don't know what to say, if you don't want a penny, you don't want to give it with both hands." Simply take refuge in our Qin Wangfu, and take your restaurant shop into a share. β
The young man named Li Ming was overjoyed, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Thank you Mr. Wang, thank you Mr. Wang!" The villain can't ask for it! β
"That's it!" Mingyu nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then even if you join the last share, you will account for one percent!" β
He is not oppressive with power, in his heart, the stall is huge, and this restaurant is just a starting point. Originally, it was good, the King of Qin accounted for fifty percent, he accounted for fifty percent, and the fifty percent of King Qin could not be less at all, so he could only let out one percent on his side.
Besides, with the power of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the achievements of the Heavenly Khan in the future, wouldn't this young man be able to get in touch with him, wouldn't he take advantage of the sky, and the ancestral tomb would be smoking!
Seeing that it was done, it added strength to the Qin Palace. Although it is just a small businessman who takes refuge, he can't use his fart in big things, but no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat!
Wang De was also extremely happy, and said with a smile, "However, Li Ming, since you have taken refuge in our Qin Palace, your name has to be changed." Although the name was obtained by my parents, your name is a mistake with the master's family. β
The young man naturally had nothing to do, nodded again and again, and said, "Please also ask Xiao Langjun to give him a name!" β
"Uh...."Speaking of naming, Mingyu made a difficulty, he even took his own name with Li Shimin's help. Even Xiao Hei, who grew up together and is as close as a brother, got his name casually, so how can he come up with a good name.
Seeing that the young man's surname is Li, he was born white and fat, and he happens to be a cook, and he wants to learn the chef in "Wulin Gaiden", and call Li Dazui.
Then I thought about it, whether the name should follow people for a lifetime, or not be too casual.
After thinking about it, he saw that the name of the restaurant was written on the title deed of the house presented by the young man, "Zhiwei Building", he suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "That's it!" In the future, you will take the name of your ancestral restaurant, called Li Zhiwei! I hope your ancestral restaurant can be carried forward in your hands! β
"Li Zhiwei! Li Zhiwei! Good! I will be called Li Zhiwei from now on! Li Zhiwei, who had newly changed his name, nodded heavily.
After the faΓ§ade is done, it can't be opened immediately, although there are all kinds of guys in the Zhiwei Building, and you can open the door to do business on a good day.
But what's the difference between this and the past? has no characteristics, Mingyu also holds a breath in his heart, if he wants to open, he must open the best restaurant in Chang'an and Datang!
The second uncle can take out the money to help me when he needs it most, can I let him down? Don't look at my small restaurant, I'm going to make a show for you, I can't say I can give you a big surprise in the future!
"Lao Wang, where do you say you can find a reliable blacksmith, I have some household artifacts that need to be built, and the craftsmanship is secondary, the main thing is to be reliable and not leak secrets!" Mingyu paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and asked the manager Wang De.
Wang De was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Our palace has its own iron shop, but the imperial court does not allow us to build weapons privately, so we can only make some kitchen knives and hoes and other farm tools." β
"Enough! Call them over right away! Mingyu was overjoyed when he heard this, the palace has its own, it would be great, and there was no need to worry about confidentiality.
Not long, Lao Wang brought an old man in his fifties over, and the old man gave Ming Yu a salute and said, "Old Han Wang Tiechuan, I have seen Xiao Langjun!" β
"Master Wang, please get up quickly!" Mingyu helped the old man up and asked, "Master Wang, I'm afraid I'm not a young man in this business?" I'm going to hit some special utensils, maybe I can do it? With that, he took out a stack of drawn drawings and handed them to Wang Tiechuan.
The picture is clearly drawn with charcoal to the application things that Mingyu needs, and it is also deliberately converted into the measurement unit of the Tang Dynasty, and the size is marked, which is clear at a glance.
Wang Tiechuan took the drawings, squinted his eyes and looked at them for a long time, and replied, "The old man has been following my father since he was a teenager, and after a rough calculation, he has been in his thirties!" Xiao Langjun's picture, the old man has never seen it, but it is not difficult to look at, and it should not be much of a problem if I think it is. β
"Hmmm! Good! Then follow this and pay attention to the uniform thickness of the build. Give me a sample first, how long will it take? Mingyu saw Wang Tiechuan say this, and he was also relieved.
Wang Tiechuan replied honestly, "The old man took his four sons, and he will do it when he goes back, and he will start work overnight, and it is estimated that he will be able to send it over early tomorrow morning." β
"Good! Lao Wang, first give Master Wang two pieces of money, which is considered a reward! If you turn around, I have another reward! With a wave of Mingyu's hand, this first step is complete!
