Chapter 33: Rent a Tavern
Lin Xifeng felt Ye Tianheng's eyes and smiled affirmatively at him: "Don't worry!" I can do it too. ”
After getting Lin Xifeng's reply, Ye Tianheng instantly felt confident again, patted his chest and said loudly: "Auntie, this matter is so decided!" I guarantee with two months of pocket money, Brother Xi Feng will not let us down. ”
Although Ye Tianheng said it very surely, Mrs. Liu was not so relieved this time, after all, this wedding banquet is related to the reputation of the Liu family, if the cook's skills can't be on the table, it will be the face of their Liu family, and she muttered for a while before she spoke: "Lin Gongzi, this matter is not a joke, are you sure you want to take the spoon of this wedding banquet?" ”
"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm sure." Lin Xifeng responded very plainly, his expression was calm, and he didn't swear or curse anything, anyway, he didn't care much about this wedding banquet, he could do it if he could, or if he couldn't, even the cook he promised to be the cook for this wedding banquet was half of it was on Ye Tianheng's face.
"So be it! Lin Gongzi remembers to come to Liu's Mansion tomorrow, and he needs to have a wedding banquet in advance, but I have something to say in advance, if Gongzi's cooking skills are average, I will change people. ”
"No problem." Lin Xifeng said with a smile, he didn't expect that Mrs. Liu's promise was actually quite refreshing, from this point of view, Ye Tianheng's status in her heart should not be low.
After the subordinates of the Liu Mansion unloaded all the wine on the carriage, Lin Xifeng put the money bag on the carriage and drove the carriage to Keju Field, and after saying goodbye to Ye Tianheng in Keju Field, he turned around and left here.
Lin Xifeng, who was driving the carriage, did not return to the Lin Mansion, but went to the market in the valley of Xihu County, and dismounted in front of a tavern next to the market.
Xihu County is not only a tavern of the Lin family, there is a smaller one in this market, if the tavern of the Lin family is a big hotel, then the market is a small restaurant, the two are naturally different consumer groups, one is the high-end people in Xihu County, the literati and elegant guests, and the other is some poor middle peasants with low economic status.
This tavern doesn't even have a name, and it's much smaller than the Lin Family Tavern.
Lin Xifeng set up the carriage and walked straight towards the tavern, the shopkeeper was counting the accounts behind the counter, and when he saw Lin Xifeng coming in, he hurriedly raised a smile and said, "Son, please come in, but do you want to eat wine?" ”
"I don't eat alcohol, I just want to talk about a business with the shopkeeper." Lin Xifeng said with a smile.
"Talking about business? What business? The shopkeeper frowned, closed the ledger and said suspiciously.
"Hmm...... I'd like to start by asking, how much does your tavern make every month? Lin Xifeng did not immediately answer the shopkeeper's words, but asked rhetorically.
"I'm just a small business, with only three or four yuan of income per month, and I support a family that can't be seen by my son." The shopkeeper was also very straightforward, and casually answered Lin Xifeng's question, anyway, this is a big secret that has to be told to people.
The three or four yuan is indeed much less than the Lin family restaurant, but Lin Xifeng did not dwell on it, and changed the topic with a smile: "Actually, I want to rent your tavern for a month with five guan money, I don't know what the shopkeeper wants?" ”
"Rent my tavern, what do you say?"
"That is to say, I rented the right to operate the tavern for a month with five guan money, and during this month, the shopkeeper only had to rest at home, so he didn't have to worry about the tavern, no matter whether the tavern was in my hands for a month of profit or loss, I would pay you five guan money, more than the profit of your hard work for a month, and there would never be a copper less." Lin Xifeng tried his best to make his words clear, so that the shopkeeper could understand.
"Is there such a good thing?" After the shopkeeper understood what Lin Xifeng meant, he frowned in disbelief, he got up early every month and worked hard to earn three or four times of money, and now Lin Xifeng actually told him that if he let him rest at home for a month, he could get five times the money, this is purely a pie in the sky, and he usually can't find it with a lantern.
"If the shopkeeper doesn't believe it, I can make a note, and if you don't keep your word, you can go to the government to sue me." After saying this, Lin Xifeng felt that it was still not enough, so he added: "And I can guarantee that when you gave me the tavern, it was still the same when you gave it back to you, and you will never mess with the things in the tavern." ”
"Childe...... You're alright! It's hard for me to make five dollars in this tavern for a month, and you're going to lose money! The shopkeeper shook his head, feeling that Lin Xifeng was making a mistake in his head.
When Lin Xifeng heard this, his impression of this shopkeeper was a little better, he was not a person who was greedy for money and forgot his roots, and he also knew how to remind him of the tavern's profitability, and said with a smile: "Regarding this, you don't need to worry about the shopkeeper, you can think about it!" Tomorrow I will come over again, if the shopkeeper agrees to the next conditions, then I will accompany you to find Liu Zhixian to set up a note, after the note is established, I will immediately pay you five times, never delay for half a moment. ”
After saying this, Lin Xifeng turned around and left the tavern, and drove the carriage towards the Lin Mansion.
The reason why he chose to rent this tavern was to defeat Cheng Bocheng head-on, no matter what good chef he had, he was far worse than himself, and as long as he opened in this tavern, he would immediately snatch Cheng Bocheng's business.
In this way, the restaurant that Cheng Bocheng bought from Dong Fatzi not only can't make money, but will always lose money, after all, the restaurant has no customers, a large number of vegetables and fresh meat will rot, the Song Dynasty is not like modern refrigerators and other insurance, but a few days, the dishes are not fresh.
In this case, no one will be willing to take over the restaurant in the hands of Cheng Bocheng, if he wants to sell the restaurant, he can only come to beg himself, and he can give him a little capital.
As for whether the owner of this tavern is willing to rent out the tavern, judging from Lin Xifeng's observation of his attitude, there is a good chance that this matter will be true. Jiu didn't run away, as long as this person is not a fool, he will definitely choose to rest at home to receive money.
Humming a little tune all the way, he drove the carriage back to the Lin Mansion quite happily, put the carriage in the courtyard, and Lin Xifeng rode the red blood towards the Keju field again, and it was time to return Ye Tianheng's horse, this kid was very painful to the red blood, and he was worried about it after not seeing it for a while.
In the Keju field, the team members have stopped training, and are sitting cross-legged on the grass, forming a circle, enclosing Li Yingcheng in the center, looking at this situation, it seems that Li Yingcheng is explaining the way of Keju with the players.
When Ye Tingheng raised his head, he happened to see Lin Xifeng coming towards him, and his face showed a touch of joy, as if he had seen his wife, but Ye Tingling did not shout to greet him, and it could be seen that he was still quite polite when teaching, and respected Li Yingcheng who was teaching.
Lin Xifeng dismounted and tied the reins of the horse, walked closer with a smile, and sat on the grass next to him to listen to Li Yingcheng's lesson, although Li Yingcheng also noticed Lin Xifeng, but his expression and demeanor were the same as Ye Qianling, and he smiled at Lin Xifeng.
Lin Xifeng was a little surprised, because the content of Li Yingcheng's lecture was actually the knowledge he talked about in the morning, such as "striker midfielder and defender", this guy just based on what he said in the morning, he had already summarized the system of various positions and told the players to listen, and what he said was the Tao.
"This Li Yingcheng is not simple......" Lin Xifeng couldn't help but praise a little in his heart.
