Chapter 535: Where's the brother-in-law?
The two account rooms take turns, so there is no such thing as asking for leave for the account office and asking the shopkeeper to do it for him.
With the sound of knocking, Shopkeeper Xing raised his head, and he thought that the uncle who was eating was going to settle the bill. I didn't expect to look up and find that it was the owner.
He was taken aback, how could the owner be here at this time?
"The owner?" Shopkeeper Xing seemed to be confirming, and seemed to be a little incredulous.
Gu Chengyu nodded, there were many guests in the restaurant at this time, so it was not good for him to pursue the matter now, so it would be better to wait for a while when there were fewer people.
Xing Yang left beads of sweat on his forehead, it's over! He didn't know why the owner suddenly appeared in front of him, after all, it was not easy for the owner to come back, and he hadn't heard that the owner had returned to his hometown before!
The hand holding the ledger suddenly trembled, and the ledger weighed a thousand pounds in his hand. Xing Yang closed the ledger, but his heart sank.
"Owner, I ......"
"Do you still have that private room of mine? I haven't eaten dinner yet. Gu Chengyu interrupted Xing Yang without waiting for him to finish, at this time the restaurant was busy, and it was not convenient to deal with this matter because of the people coming and going.
Xing Yang saw that Gu Chengyu didn't want to hear these things now, and he also knew that it was indeed inappropriate to say these things at this time.
So he nodded hurriedly, "Keep it, your room hasn't moved yet." Boss, you go up first, and I'll call the guy to serve you food. ”
At this time, a guy ran over, he thought that Gu Chengyu and they had come to the restaurant to eat. Therefore, he stepped forward to say hello, after all, Gu Chengyu and Zhu Pang were dressed extraordinarily, and they were not bad customers at first glance.
"Guest officer, it just so happens that there is no seat at this time. However, there are a few guest officers over there who are leaving, do you think you can wait a while? ”
The guy thought about it in his heart, and the private rooms upstairs had guest officers, even the lobby was full. However, it was not too early at this time, and the guest officers would soon leave.
The guy didn't recognize Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu didn't care.
After all, he went to the capital later, and he never came to the restaurant in Jingyuan Mansion. Many of the guys here were recruited later, and he didn't know his face, so it was normal not to know him, and only the shopkeepers and account offices of the major shops had seen him.
The restaurant has always been managed by Yu Paralysis, and other things such as fat powder shops and workshops are all managed by Gu Wanqian.
The criminal steward saw that the guy didn't know the owner, and hurriedly scolded: "There's nothing for you here, clean up the Tianzi No. 1 above, and the son wants to eat." ”
Because Gu Chengyu confessed, he couldn't let people know that he was the owner of the restaurant, so he didn't point it out directly.
It's not that Gu Chengyu is afraid of things, but that he is now an official of the imperial court, and he can't make such a living, this is the rule of the imperial court. Therefore, the people who come forward are generally Yu paralyzed, or Gu Wanqian.
Gu Chengyu thought of the account book just now, and couldn't help but think of the paralyzed man who managed all the restaurants. Yu Paralytic didn't sign the deed of sale, and now there is another account book, could it be that Yu Paralyzed has a big heart and has made a small move below?
He would read the account books in the capital every month, but Jingyuan Mansion was too far away from the capital, so he set to hand in the account books once every six months.
There is nothing wrong with the account book twice a year, but he can't come to Jingyuan Mansion to check it, and if someone really does something, such as doing something in the daily income, how can he know?
Not to mention that there is an account room, Gu Chengyu originally guarded against this, so he assigned two account rooms to each shop, and each account room would have an account book in his hand.
However, this is not without drawbacks, if they all collude and share the benefits, it is helpless to blind him.
Gu Chengyu thought about it, and then thought of the secret fold he had told the emperor before. His current situation is really similar to that of the emperor. The emperor has lived in the palace for a long time, and he can only rely on the clarity of the big and small things that happen in the place.
And Gu Chengyu can only rely on the account books to understand the situation of the restaurant, it seems that he has to establish a picket department like the imperial court.
From time to time, he came down to check the account books of these shops, and even the account office and the shopkeeper could secretly make small reports with him, just like a secret fold.
Gu Chengyu's idea was between lightning and sparks, and with a general idea, he didn't continue to think about it in depth, this matter had to be discussed in the long run.
As soon as the man heard this, he knew that this was the person who wanted to stammer with the shopkeeper. However, didn't the shopkeeper of the private room say that he would leave it to his brother-in-law?
"Shopkeeper, didn't you say that the private room should be left to your brother-in-law......
When Shopkeeper Xing heard this, he almost broke out and scolded, this idiot.
Brother-in-law? Gu Chengyu turned to look at Shopkeeper Xing, "I remember that Shopkeeper Xing's wife doesn't have a brother-in-law?" Where did this brother-in-law come from? ”
Shopkeeper Xing was really a little flustered this time, he was lucky to think just now that the owner would definitely not remember the situation in his family, but he didn't expect the owner to remember it so clearly.
He and his mother-in-law used to work in the house of a large family, and they were the sons of that family. But when the business of the original master failed, he sold these slaves together to pay back the money, and he followed the current owner.
When he and his mother-in-law were sold, a family of five was sold, where did the brother-in-law come from?
Looking at the look on Gu Chengyu's face that seemed to be smiling, Shopkeeper Xing couldn't help but shudder, I'm afraid I won't be able to be good today.
No matter how stupid the guy is, he can see the clue at this time, he hurriedly shrunk his neck and stopped talking.
Gu Chengyu glanced at the wrench on Shopkeeper Xing's hand, and then asked with a smile, "Shopkeeper Xing is marrying a wife again?" ”
Although he asked Shopkeeper Xing, his eyes were on the young man.
The young man was cowardly, glanced at the shopkeeper Xing, and didn't dare to say anything.
Shopkeeper Xing didn't even dare to wipe the sweat dripping from his head, and his brain was a little dizzy at the moment.
Although Zhu Pang didn't know how to do business, he could also see that there seemed to be some problems with the shopkeeper, and Jin Yu must be very dissatisfied at this time.
Gu Chengyu didn't wait for the two of them to answer, and said to the young man, "Take us to the private room!" I'm still really hungry. ”
The young man then loosened the cloth towel he was holding in his hand, and he seemed to understand something.
Shopkeeper Xing saw that Gu Chengyu and the others had already gone upstairs, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Someone happened to come to settle the bill, and the shopkeeper Xing had no choice but to step forward and count the money.
Gu Chengyu walked halfway up the stairs and turned to look at Ming Yan who was walking behind. Glancing vaguely at the shopkeeper Xing, Ming Yan nodded knowingly.
When everyone went upstairs, Ming Yan left from the private room without reporting to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu and the others arrived at the private room, Gu Chengyu gave a look, and Mingmo suddenly turned around and closed the door.
"Young masters, I don't know what you two are going to serve? Do you want to tell me the name of the dish? "The guy hasn't paid attention to Mingmo's movements, he just wants to serve the two masters in front of him.
The shopkeeper all nodded his head, and he couldn't afford to offend this young man.
