Chapter 63: Tide, Good Spirit
It's really sleepy and someone sent a pillow.
Wei Jin is worried that no one will take care of the newly built restaurant, so won't he send it to the door by himself?
However, she still inquired in detail about the work he had done before, and from his conversation, she could analyze whether he had really done it or had other plans.
After talking for a while, even if he was not sure about the other party's background, at least he still had ideas and means on how to run the restaurant, and the other party was much stronger than her eldest brother-in-law.
The restaurant also needs to find a place now. She had seen it before, and what she liked was a small two-story building at the entrance of the town.
The area of the small building is not big or small, and there is a side stable at the corner, which is generally used for parking and tethering horses for foreign guests. The small building has a small courtyard, and there are three or four houses in the courtyard.
These items used to be occupied by the shopkeeper, but now the shopkeeper has moved out and sold the house, and this place is vacant.
The price of the small building is not high, but it is too dilapidated. In the past, the tea shop opened by the shopkeeper sold some wine and cooked food, and the reception was all merchants and vendors who did not have much money. If she takes over, she will definitely not just do these people's business, and she won't make a lot of money at all.
In the name of subsidizing Dabao, Fourth Uncle Wei also left a lot of good things for their sisters, if the money is not available, she can still use it as some, and then redeem it when she earns money.
Thinking about it like this, she was very moved.
After sending Lao Dao and his nephew away, Wei Jin thought about it and went to Wei Zan and Wei Gongzi to ask for help.
"I can help you find that person, but what's in it for me?"
Wei Jin raised his eyes to look at him for a while, and endured the pain of the flesh.
"The income of the restaurant is 37 cents. You three and I seven. ”
When Wei Zan raised her eyebrows, she added: "The tax money and the hiring of personnel in the restaurant are all on my side, and the purchase of ingredients is included in the operating costs." In this way, Childe is taking pure profits, and I may not be able to count Childe's number here. Besides, the income from my side will be transferred to the tea mountain. In the first few years, the tea mountain basically only went in and out, and if the profit here was too low, I would rather not open it. ”
Wei Zan didn't actually care about the money, he never worried about money. It's just that seeing Wei Jin's tangled little expression makes him feel inexplicably happy.
"Okay, I'll write to someone to look it up. Does the restaurant in town need me to help you talk? ”
"Then please." She's not polite at all, she can't really just take money and not work.
Wei Zan won't go by himself, the first time the fourth uncle came to help him bring some people, and now it is the second son of his old housekeeper who helps him take care of the housekeeper.
When Wei Jin left, the housekeeper smiled when he got closer to listen to the order, saying that it was no wonder that the fourth master liked the girl of the Wei family, and this kind of demeanor and conversation did not seem to come from a small place.
Wei Zan glanced at him sideways and didn't allow him to talk about it in private.
"Childe, I understand, I'll just put it in front of you and say this, I definitely won't talk nonsense when I go out. That is, Shu Wen said last time that the third girl was a bit like Miss Seventeen, and I took a look, but it wasn't really like it, but it was a bit like Aunt Jiu's grandmother. ”
It's not good if the family is big, in terms of seniority, they are all in the big family, Wei Zan thought about it for a while, and then remembered the appearance of the ninth aunt and grandmother.
Not to mention, Wei Jin's eyebrows and eyes are really seven or eight points similar to her.
It's that the ninth aunt and grandmother have a hard life, they are young, and when they gave birth to their second child, they couldn't survive the ghost gate, and they were gone with the child in their womb.
"Don't talk nonsense, the three girls are blessed with a great life, don't let people get bad luck."
The little housekeeper slapped himself: "The villain lost his words, and the son forgives his sins." ”
"Go ahead, get down to business." Wei Zan waved his hand to let him leave, and sat there frowning alone, not knowing what he was thinking.
The little butler's movements were fast, and it took three days to take down the small building.
Wei Jin and Wei Zan each contributed half of the money to buy the house, and the two also went to the government to make a paper deed, clarifying the distribution ratio and other contents.
After that, it took almost two months to renovate and renovate, and the exterior was completed before the wax moon. It will take time to add the interior layout and the purchase of facilities and equipment, and the earliest to open will be in February of next year.
When decorating the exterior, Wei Jin had the exterior enclosed with linoleum cloth. One is to maintain a sense of mystery, and the other is to be afraid of falling heavy objects and injuring innocent people during transformation.
After the redecoration, the small building has largely remained the same, but the cornices have more fine carvings and paintings. Originally, the ordinary wooden windows on the second floor were uniformly transformed into push-pull wooden windows, which are not technically difficult, but the requirements for the fineness of carpentry are relatively high.
In addition, the previous rooms were very small, and after the renovation, only three of the original five rooms on the second floor remained, two large and one medium-sized.
The ground floor is still the lobby, but you can enter the small courtyard by going out through the door next to the stairs. The small courtyard is still separated by bonsai and rockery, as well as transplanted osmanthus trees, which divide the three luxury private rooms in the backyard into independent spaces.
Wei Zan was really convinced of Wei Jin's bonsai making, and she brought herself to be fascinated by this work. Now he has a piece of land in his backyard to make bonsai modeling.
"It's a pity that the time is too short, otherwise you can find some iron root begonias for modeling, and the cloud pine is also very good-looking." After looking at it for a while, Wei Jin made up his mind to go back and do it, and spent two or three years of hard work to raise a batch of them, and waited until two years later, when the shape of this batch of bonsai failed, it was just right to replace it.
Further inside, it is a high platform that is built artificially, and a wooden pavilion is built on it, which is covered by brocade silk on all sides, leaving only the curtain of entry and exit. When the weather is good, roll up the brocade silk and fix it, and here it will be ventilated on all sides, and you can climb high and look far away.
The town has no city walls, and their small building is at the entrance of the town, looking out just to see the scenery of Cuiping Mountain on the side, there is a pool of reeds on that side, and there are often white cranes flying in summer and autumn.
Now the hardware of the restaurant is almost the same, and all that is left is the decorations in various rooms, dining tables and chairs. These are all custom-made by the second brother-in-law's village, and the ordinary tables and chairs in the lobby have been delivered and placed neatly. In two days, the furniture in the private room upstairs should also be delivered. The furniture of the three luxury private rooms in the backyard was customized from the state capital, and it could not be delivered with the ship until the new year.
Wei Zan originally did what Wei Jin wanted to do, but after coming over to take a look at it at a certain time, he forcibly took the right to decorate the room. Now he stays in the backyard every day to decorate the room, and the calligraphy and paintings in it are all written and painted by him, which is very narcissistic!
This man also built a piano table in the pavilion on the high platform, saying that when the weather is warm, playing the piano and composing poems on it is what a literati should do.
Wei Jin rolled his eyes directly after hearing this, and wanted to scold him: This is a restaurant, if you put it here to play the piano, you will become an artist!
