Volume 2 The Wind Rises in Jiangdu Chapter 40 The restaurant is renamed

"Jiang Gongzi, I heard that the master gave you this Baiwei Building, are you the real owner now?"

When Jiangnan routinely inspected Baiwei Building, Shopkeeper Liu pulled the corner of his clothes and asked mysteriously and slightly flatteringly.

"Hmmm! Big brother is generous and benevolent! Jiang Nan said with emotion when he heard this.

"In the future, the little old man will beg for food under Jiang Gongzi!" When Shopkeeper Liu heard Jiang Nan admit the news, he bowed down and said.

Jiang Nan waved his hand casually and said: "Don't worry too much, thanks to the love of the eldest brother, give me this Baiwei Building, I will have more autonomy in the future, and the profit distribution of the hotel will be greater, you tell the guys, as long as everyone works hard, the reward will only be more." ”

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, his face was overjoyed. Since Jiangnan began to be in charge of this Baiwei Building, everyone's income has increased a lot, and now they have become the owner, and there will be more in the future, and I believe that it will not take long to save the money for the elderly, and the second half of the life is worry-free!

"Jiang Gongzi! You're a good man! Shopkeeper Liu praised from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Nan was stunned when he heard this, it was the first time he heard someone say this about himself, he smiled, and didn't say anything.

"Jiang Gongzi! You see, now that this Baiwei Building is yours, isn't it a little inappropriate to call it 'Baiwei Building' again? Shopkeeper Liu still hopes to earn enough money for the elderly here, so he naturally hopes that the restaurant will get better and better, so he is also much more enthusiastic about his work.

When Jiang Nan heard it, he was right, now that this restaurant has become his own, it is indeed a little inappropriate to continue to use the banner of the eldest brother, and he wants to change his name.

"Hmmm! You think more thoughtfully, it is indeed necessary to change the name, just call it 'Ding Shengyuan', Ding, utensils for eating, Yuan, the beginning, the meaning of the champion, eating is the beginning of everything, come to us to eat can usher in a new beginning - transfer, admitted to the champion, and then according to this meaning of publicity. Jiang Nan pondered for a moment and said slowly.

When the shopkeeper Liu heard this, he stroked his palm and praised: "Good name, there is a sense of meaning, you can transfer when you come to eat with us, and you can be admitted to the top prize, I believe that the business of our restaurant will become more and more prosperous in the future." ”

The shopkeeper Liu is not a sycophant, the name of the Liang Dynasty restaurant is similar, easy to understand, basically with "eat" or "taste" and other food-related words, and "Ding Shengyuan" is unconventional and different just by virtue of its name, I believe it will definitely attract many curious people to come.

"Who is Jiang Gongzi going to ask for the title?" Shopkeeper Liu asked.

"I don't need anyone else, I write it myself. Take the four treasures of the study! Jiang Nan commanded casually. Just kidding, it costs a few taels of silver to ask someone to inscribe a word, and I can write it myself, why spend that unjust money.

To say that Jiangnan can write is not accurate, it should be said that Wu Chaozu has learned all kinds of Chinese studies since he was a child, and calligraphy is naturally one of them. The practice of martial arts makes people impulsive, and the practice of calligraphy can cultivate one's self-cultivation, and the two complement each other.

After a while, everything was ready. Jiang Nan practiced briefly, and after finding that feeling, he officially began to create.

I saw him holding his breath and concentrating, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and in a moment, the three words "Ding Shengyuan" of Zhao Ti appeared on the paper, so chic.

"When the ink is dry, find someone to make the plaque. In addition, the special seal of the restaurant should also be re-engraved, and you should also remember it. Jiang Nan threw the pen aside and said loudly.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it immediately." When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he immediately responded.

"Get out! Get out! This is not a place for you to enter, disturb the guests eating, see that I don't break your dog's legs. A fellow yelled.

Jiang Nan heard the voice and walked over, only to see an old man in ragged clothes sitting on the threshold of the restaurant, presumably about to come in and beg for a meal to reward him for the leftovers, but was scolded by the guy.

"Forget it, he's quite pitiful, don't embarrass him. - Take two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge and give it to him! Jiang Nanlang said.

When the guy saw that it was Jiang Nan, he hurriedly bowed down to say hello, and whispered to the old man: "You have a good fate, you met our Jiang Gongzi." With that, he turned around and went to get something.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang! Thank you Jiang Gongzi! When the old man heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked him.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan hurriedly helped him up and asked softly, "Old man, why did you want to come here?" ”

Seeing Jiangnan's kind face, the old man became a little bolder, and replied slowly: "I see that there are more people coming and going to eat here, maybe if you meet someone kind, you can give me the rest of the food to eat, but I didn't expect to meet a good person like Jiang Gongzi." ”

The man's legs and feet were nimble, and after a while, porridge and steamed buns were delivered. The old man snorted and drank all the porridge, put the two steamed buns into his arms, and did not eat them again.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan asked suspiciously: "Why don't you eat steamed buns?" ”

"Save it for the night when you're hungry," the old man replied softly, licking the remaining grains of rice in the bowl.

When Jiang Nan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, and asked softly, "Where do you live on weekdays?" What do you live on? ”

"I beg for food on the street during the day, and sleep at night on street corners or in ruined temples outside the city." The old man replied.

"Are there any people like you around you? How many more? Jiang Nan asked again.

"There should be a lot, when I slept in a broken temple outside the city, I met a few, and there were almost twenty or thirty people living there." The old man replied.

When Jiang Nan heard this, he frowned and thought. Although I understand that there are too many beggars in the world, I can't help them all on my own, but since I have encountered them, if I don't stretch out my hand, my conscience will be uneasy.

Nowadays, it is not a problem to run a restaurant well and help twenty or thirty beggars. In the future, I will plan some other industries, and I believe that I can help more beggars.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nan looked at the old man and said in a deep voice: "Meeting is fate, since we can meet in the vast sea of people, it can be regarded as fate, just by virtue of this fate, I will also find you a life plan, I don't know if you want it?" ”

When the old man heard this, he knelt on the ground excitedly and said loudly: "It's all up to the son's arrangement!" ”

"In this way, starting tomorrow, you don't have to beg, just help me promote it in the city, and everyone will say, 'On the first day of the next lunar month, Baiwei Building in the east of the city will reopen, renamed Ding Shengyuan, and the first 100 diners will get a discount coupon every day, and it will end on the fifth day of the new year'." I will provide you with three meals a day, just like today, two steamed buns, and a bowl of porridge. If you know someone who is willing to come, it's all this standard, how about it? ”

"Yes, yes, great! Is it really okay for someone else to come? When the old man heard this, he said excitedly.

"Yes, as long as he does what I just said, don't cheat and cheat, he will have a collar for food." Jiang Nan replied affirmatively.

"Don't worry, it won't! I'm going to go to the temple tonight and tell everyone that they can start publicizing it tomorrow. The old man excitedly assured, seeing that the people of Jiangnan were good, he began to pour bitter water again: "Son, you are really a good person, don't you know, we are often beaten and scolded without saying anything, sometimes we can't get a stutter for a few days, and many people are starving to death." Several of the people I know are starving to death," said this, and the corners of the old man's eyes were slightly red.

The old man's words touched Jiang Nan's heart, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, old man, as long as you do what I say, I Jiangnan guarantee that you will have a bite to eat!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang! Thank you Jiang Gongzi! ”

"By the way, old man, what's your name?" Jiangnan asked.

When the old man heard this, he replied softly: "My surname is Wu, and I am the sixth in line, so my father will name me 'Wu Liu', and you can call me 'Lao Liu', and everyone will call me that." ”

When Jiang Nan heard this, he thought that he was really born poor, and the name was so simple. "Okay! I'll call you 'Sixth' from now on." There's nothing to do, you go get busy! ”

"Okay! I'm going to help you spread the word! When the sixth heard this, he responded with a smile, turned around and ran.

Jiang Nan was stunned when he heard this, and he took it seriously with his casual closing remarks, he was really a real person, there are still many simple people in this world, and he must not be owed him in the future.

The old six years old is not young, but his voice is also full of energy, he has already run a long way, and his voice can still reach Jiangnan.

"On the first day of the first month of next month, Chengdong Baiwei Building will reopen and be renamed Ding Shengyuan, and the first 100 diners will get a discount coupon every day, which will end on the fifth day of the new year."

When Jiang Nan heard this, he smiled slightly, and thought, I really found the right person, such a voice, the east of the city shouted a voice, and the west of the city could hear it if it was not good.

Seeing that the sixth child had already walked away, Shopkeeper Liu approached and said softly: "Childe, I know that you are kind-hearted, and I also know that the sixth child is pitiful, but it is also a lot of money to recruit twenty or thirty beggars!" ”

Jiang Nan retracted his gaze, turned around and walked towards the store, and said all over the place: "Shopkeeper Liu, you don't have to worry about this." Three meals a day, a few steamed buns, a few bowls of porridge, and no money. Moreover, the return they will bring to the restaurant in the future will be far more than these few dollars. ”

Shopkeeper Liu followed behind Jiang Nan and continued to ask, "What do you mean by Childe?" Unconsciously, like Xiaocui, he also omitted the word "Jiang".

Jiang Nan glanced back at him, and said with a mysterious smile: "Let me sell it, you will know it slowly." ”

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he looked at Jiangnan in confusion, and his heart was itchy like a cat, but it was not good to ask again. I can't figure out the trick of it, and the way I scratch my ears and cheeks is a little funny.

Jiang Nan returned to the store, pacing back and forth, thinking to himself. There are five days to reopen, and the original world hotel will open to invite some important guests to speak, tailor and the like, and I don't know anyone, so I can only find the big brother to support the field. As for inviting celebrities to come over and sing and dance, it's a bit difficult to do here - where are the stars here!

"What is Childe thinking?" I don't know when, Shopkeeper Liu ran to Jiang Nan's side, saw him frowning and thinking, as if he had encountered some problem, and asked softly.

"Where are the stars?" Jiang Nan said casually.

Shopkeeper Liu was stunned and wondered: "What is a star?" ”

"It's someone that everyone likes, who can sing, dance, and so on." Jiang Nan explained softly, although he didn't have much hope in his heart.

"Of course it's an Oiran!" Shopkeeper Liu blurted out, without the slightest hesitation, and it is estimated that he will not go less in private.

Jiang Nan patted his head, he was drilled into the horns, it would be good to be flexible! This is not as good as the shopkeeper Liu.

Jiang Nan patted Shopkeeper Liu's shoulder vigorously and said excitedly: "Shopkeeper Liu, you have helped me a lot!" ”
