Chapter Seventy-Two

"Mother's craftsmanship is better."

Mingxiu smiled, Ming's mother likes to cook, she used to study cooking skills when she was idle at home, but because the conditions at home were not good, no matter how she studied, the taste of the food was just like that, and now the conditions are good, and with Mingxiu's recipes to help, Ming's mother's cooking skills have skyrocketed.

So much so that now it has a certain reputation in the town, and now Ming remembers that although the dishes are fresh, most of the guests are rushing to Ming's mother's craftsmanship.

Mingxiu hasn't provided new recipes for a long time, and she just wants Ming's mother to eat the original dishes thoroughly.

Now sure enough, the dishes made by Ming's mother after putting her heart into it are becoming more and more delicious.

Even Xie Zhan, who had tasted countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, couldn't help but say good.

Although she knew that she had made progress, but being praised by Mingxiu like this, Ming's mother was still a little embarrassed, "You little mouth, it's getting sweeter and sweeter." ”

Looking at the accounts recorded by Mingxiu in front of him, except for the change in order, the ones on the side are almost the same as what she recorded, plus this font is really hurtful to the eyes, Mingmu jumped directly to the last page.

This month's net income excluding expenses is as much as 70 taels!

A shop that can net 70 taels a month!

This is rare in the town, even if it is a big restaurant like Xianxianglou, the monthly income is almost this amount, but they are obviously different from Mingji, Xianxianglou also has the salary cost of the chef and Xiao Er, but their family uses their own people, there is no salary, and the income is even higher than that of Xianxianglou!

However, it is no wonder that Xianxianglou may not be full even if it is a meal, but it can be remembered that the seats are already full about half an hour before the meal, and there are even times when you need to wait for a seat.

After calculating the net income, Mingxiu thought about it in his heart.

"Mother, when the lease here expires, let's discuss with the owner of the shop to see if we can buy the shop."

She thinks more than this, and even wants to expand this place, but the back kitchen is usually only busy with Ming's mother, if the stall is too big, Ming's mother is afraid that she will not be busy, so she didn't open her mouth at first, and wait to see later, if you can train a few cooks and then expand the shop, it's not too late.

"Okay, let your dad talk about it then."

After such a long period of experience, Father Ming is no longer the peasant man who stumbled and talked honestly, he has grown into a little shrewd, if it weren't for the old oilman like the shopkeeper of Xianxianglou Xu, there are basically few people who can find him difficult.

Now let him take care of these things, Mingxiu is already very relieved.

"Okay."

Ming's father has no opinion on this, he did not support buying the shop directly, one is because there is not so much silver in his hand, and the other is that he is worried that the shop will lose money, and he will not even be able to recover the capital at that time.

After deciding on it, after resting for a night, Ming's father thought about it the next day, and planned to go to the owner to talk about it, and the matter of buying the ox cart was handed over to Ye Ziming.

Ming's father has tested him, and such a thing as looking at livestock can't stump Ye Ziming, let alone an ox cart, even if he selects horses, he is also a good hand.

I went out in the morning, and Ming's father didn't come back until after noon.

If it weren't for Mingxiu's appeasement, Ming's mother would even want to get rid of him.

"How's it going? Can the proprietor agree to sell the shop? ”

originally thought that this matter was nine out of ten, but seeing that Ming's father's face was a little bad, Ming's mother couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Father Ming shook his head, "The owner didn't agree, and ......"

"And what!" Ming's mother was anxious, "Why are you getting older and more ambiguous, don't talk in a hurry." ”

Can't you just finish it in one sitting?

This shop is not for sale, Mingxiu has some regrets in her heart, and at the same time she doesn't feel that there is anything great, if it is not sold here, is there no shop to sell in the town? I looked for it slowly, and when I found it to renovate, the lease here was almost over.

Ming's father sighed, "Not only will it not be sold, but the owner will also increase the rent." ”

"It's going to go up this year?" Mingxiu couldn't believe it.

Seeing him nodding, Ming Xiu slapped the table angrily, "But our rent for this year has already been paid!" Isn't that a cheat?! ”

"The owner said that the rent we paid at the beginning was enough until May, and the rest must be made up, otherwise it will ......"

Before Ming's father finished speaking, Mingxiu was already angry, "This is cheating!" I'm going to reason with them! ”

"Xiu'er!" Ming's father looked at his daughter disapprovingly, "What's the use of you going?" This shop belongs to other people, and it is their freedom to book as much rent as they want, can you still control it? ”

If you provoke the other party and drive them out, how can this be good?

It's easy to get on the right track, if you go back to the original shape and start again, can you still have today's grand occasion?

How to go in the future, Ming's father is a little confused.

He had heard many stories of repeatedness, decay, and exhaustion.

As everyone knows, even if this shop goes out of business, as long as Ming's mother is still there, their family will still be able to lower the shop!

"My father-in-law's words are wrong." Ye Ziming and Xie Zhan heard the movement at this end, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade peace, "It's true that the shop is someone's own, and it's also people's freedom to book as much rent as they want, but the contract has been signed, so at least within the date of the contract, they can't change the rent without authorization, otherwise we can go to the yamen to sue, and the contract is evidence!" ”

Although the punishment for violating the lease deed is not severe in this dynasty, there is still compensation for the money, and the shop has to be used by them until the lease expires, so Ming's father does not need to worry at all.

His worries stemmed only from a lack of understanding of the law.

After Ye Ziming's explanation, he finally put his mind at ease.

"Is that true?"

"How can a son deceive his father?" Ye Ziming chuckled helplessly, "It's just that we have to go and make it clear to the owner in advance, if he insists on raising the rent, let's go to the yamen first, make the first move, let the matter become a foregone conclusion, and then find a way out, so as not to be forced to the end of the rush by them." ”

Father Ming has one thing that is true, that is, their shop will lose money every day when it closes, and it will affect the reputation, which is not what they want.

"I see, let me think about it first."

"Father-in-law, hurry up, today they proposed to increase the rent, I think it won't be long before they come to the door to ask for the rest of this year's rent, if they are forced to hand over the money, then we will be reasonable and unclear."
