"Scaring you?" Lin Changsheng gently rubbed Mu Jiu's shoulder with his chin, "Jiu'er, no matter how many faces I have, I will never hurt you." ”

"I know."

Suddenly I thought about it, yes, what does it matter who Lin Changsheng is, he is loyal to her, he will never hurt her, he will only protect her, she herself is not a very bright person, what qualifications does she have to care about this!

Mu Jiu returned his hand and hugged Lin Changsheng, "Thank you for having you." ”

"Jiu'er, it's better for you to express your gratitude with some practical actions, such as taking the initiative......" Lin Changsheng's eyes were overheated......

"Nasty, it's ...... in the car"

"You mean you can just go home?" Lin Changsheng suddenly said in a loud voice, "Zero Three, turn around and go home!" ”

Mu Jiu: "......"

It's daytime, if you really want to say it, he will definitely say it, can it be at night?

This man......

In front of him, she only had to be eaten and wiped clean!

Return her honest peasant man!

……

The next thing went very smoothly, Mu Jiu successfully bought the two shops next door to the three-story building, this time, it really cost a lot of money, and the two shops cost a total of 12,000 taels of silver.

Boss Xue's apology letter was also written, a template was copied in a total of ten, and one was posted in the most lively place in Los Angeles, and Mu Jiu also asked someone to copy more than a dozen copies and paste them in more places.

The Jiu'an Restaurant has not yet opened, and the men, women and children in Los Angeles know about Mu Jiu and the soon-to-be-opened Jiu'an Restaurant.

A month later, the renovation of Jiu'an Restaurant was completed.

The second and third floors of the three buildings are opened, the second floor is decorated as an Accord for VIPs to eat, and the third floor is a place to stay.

Naturally, the price is not low.

The first floor is used as a lobby, more than twice as large as the Jiu'an Restaurant in Qizhou, with a total of 20 tables, and two small shops on both sides, which are used as food stores and spice shops at the same time.

Spices Mu Jiu brought at the same time, and she planned to make some instant pastries and preserved fruits for the time being, melon seeds and the like, and then follow up when she had the opportunity to buy Zhuangzi.

In terms of selection, there was Rose, and Rose personally went to the slave market to select a group of people to come back.

Except for pastry makers and chefs, others can teach for a day, not to mention that they have a full month.

A month later, even the pastry maker was taught, but he was only short of being familiar with it, as for the chef, Mu Jiu was at a loss, where to find someone with good and credible skills?

At the critical moment, Lin Changsheng brought a family to Mu Jiu, and heard that the ancestor was the imperial chef.

The person Lin Changsheng introduced to her, Mu Jiu never asked, he believed it wholeheartedly, and signed the contract after only talking about the salary.

The next few days were spent discussing the dishes.

Mu Jiu gave a few dishes in a row, and the family really had a foundation, and they didn't think so when they heard the name of the dish, but after learning the way to cook the dishes and the ingredients, they were all so surprised that they couldn't speak, and after that, they were even more respectful to Mu Jiu.

The process of discussing the dishes went very smoothly, Mu Jiu looked at the date and decided to open on April 20.

is also the same as the old routine used in the past, spent a lot of money to invite local theater troupes, publicized in the streets and alleys, and brewed Boss Xue's apology some time ago, so that the day before the opening, the fame of Jiu'an Restaurant had spread in Los Angeles.

Mu Jiu was happy, but some people were not so happy.

For example, the golden shopkeeper of the original largest restaurant in Los Angeles, Defu Building.

The VIP Pavilion of Defu Building, which is not open to the public, is decorated with gold and splendor, and it is a royal style at a glance.

The golden shopkeeper bowed his body with an indignant face, and complained angrily, "Owner, you don't know, that Mu Jiu is simply too hateful, and he has made such a big disturbance before it opens!" ”

His owner was a handsome man with a proud expression, "What are you angry about, isn't it just some little tricks?" On the countertop. ”

His name is Lan Jianfeng, he is the cousin of the second prince, the nephew of the second prince's biological mother, Lan Guifei, and is in charge of all the finances of the second prince.

The matter of the Qiu family in Qizhou passed through his hands, and he had heard the names Mu Jiu and Lin Changsheng many times, but so what? Many people are like fish in water in small places, but as soon as they arrive in Los Angeles and the capital, they die.

If nothing else, the small place is high and the emperor is far away, as long as you have a good relationship with the prefect, many things can be operated in the dark.

But when you get to Los Angeles and the capital, any person you pull out may be an official, and any official can find a reason to close a shop.

"Jumping clown." Lan Jianfeng didn't take it to heart, "What should I do, why do I go, it's a trivial matter." "Want to move the set in Qizhou to this Los Angeles? Look for trouble!

The golden shopkeeper nodded busily and changed his face, "Yes!" Be! What Lan Gongzi said was that he was making a fuss about it. ”

…

Not only Defu Building, but also the shopkeeper of Liufu Building, the second largest restaurant in Los Angeles, was also angry.

The owner of Liufu Building is the property of the Zhong family, and at this time, Zhong Qianliang, the head of the Zhong family, called the bell hammer of the shopkeeper of Liufu Building to the Zhong family's foothold in Los Angeles.

It is said that it is a foothold, and the decoration of the yard is a little richer than that of ordinary solid people.

Even the cups used by Zhong Qianliang are gold and silver cups, showing the wealth of the imperial merchants everywhere.

Zhong Qianliang was a little bald, very rich, sitting on the main seat, with a dark expression.

Zhong Hammer stood at his bottom with his head bowed, respectfully, "Family Master, as far as I know, that Mu Jiu and Lin Changsheng are from Qizhou.

I heard that they are so powerful in Qizhou that they can cover the sky with one hand, and I heard that they have some relationship with Zhuangyuanlang, but these are all rumors, and they can't find out when they go down to investigate.

However, the prefect did not get any benefits in their hands, and that Boss Xue did not dare to complain after suffering a big loss.

The subordinates feel that they have done a good job of publicity this time, at least so that many people can know that Jiu'an Restaurant is about to open, and the subordinates feel that we can also use this method if we have a new store to open in the future. ”

I have to say that the imperial businessman is the imperial businessman, and he will not look down on people, as long as the method of making money is good, they still appreciate it very much, and even make this method their own.

Zhong Qianliang's face improved a little, "I heard that there is no movement in Defu Building, you pay attention, in the end, it is a person who is here to steal business." ”

"My subordinates know." Zhong Hammer lowered his voice, "Do you want to go down......"

Zhong Hammer didn't say it, but Zhong Hammer had been by Zhong Qianliang's side for many years, and he suddenly understood what he meant: to do something when Jiu'an Restaurant opened.

Zhong Qianliang waved his hand, "No, there are many restaurants in Los Angeles, and someone always jumps out." ”

"Got it."

As Zhong Qianliang said, there are many restaurants with good scale in Los Angeles, and they don't have the confidence of Defu Lou and Liufu Lou, so they hit the idea of Mu Jiu's opening and are ready to move.

…

On April 20, the sky was beautiful, and the continuous drizzle for half a month finally stopped, and the sunshine that had not appeared for a long time shone brightly over Los Angeles, giving Los Angeles a layer of golden light.

Early in the morning, Mu Jiu changed into a rose-red pleated gauze skirt and walked hand in hand with Lin Changsheng to Jiu'an Restaurant.

The security of Ming Yi and the others has already been in place, and the chef and the shopkeeper are already ready to do a big job.

Today's rose is dressed in festive clothes and has a smiling face.

When the auspicious time came, Mu Jiu personally lit the firecrackers hanging at the door of the restaurant, and the already lively street became crowded, crowded with people, and when he looked up, he only saw the head of the black crow.

After two years of training, the roses have become more exquisite, left and right, no matter what kind of guests can cope with.

With the addition of spice shops and food shops, in just one morning, Jiu'an Restaurant received a thousand taels of silver.

The spice shop in Qizhou City can make money every day, this figure is within Mu Jiu's expectations, her ideal is to earn a thousand taels a day, not just a thousand taels in the account.

At noon, there were a lot of guests who came to eat, and the little two in the store were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground.

Mu Jiu and Lin Changsheng sat in the position of the shopkeeper, and occasionally stepped forward to help, helping to clean up the table that had left after eating, and welcoming the guests at the next table.

Everything is busy but orderly.

Mu Jiu saw that the lobby and the front desk could be handled by herself, so she went to the back kitchen, thinking that if the chef's family was too busy, she would go to help out.

When I approached the backyard, I heard the sound of turning tables in the lobby, and then a big man's rough voice shouted in the store, "What kind of bullshit wild vegetables are you cooking, it's unpalatable!" ”

Mu Jiu paused and quietly turned around, Sen Han's gaze fell on the overturned table, and then shifted to Dahan's body.

The big man yelled fiercely, "Look at it, I haven't seen a man!" ”

Mu Jiu: "......"

"It's not that I haven't seen a man, but I've always been curious, what a person can be difficult to see, and when I see you, I don't have to waste energy in my head to imagine it."

Dahan was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, "You cousin! You dare to say it again, Lao Tzu blows your head off! ”

Mu Jiu grimaced at him, "Come here!" ”

The big man was so angry that he screamed and rushed over.

At this moment, Mu Jiu shouted, "Someone! Report to the officer! Someone is making trouble in my newly opened restaurant! ”

Hearing the sound, the diners looked over one after another, revealing disdainful eyes.

The big man was furious and shouted, "Help! The big boss is bullying the people! ”

Mu Jiu: "......"

Los Angeles is really not comparable to Qizhou, and the IQ level of the troublemakers is several levels higher, and it only takes a moment to concoct the method of showing weakness and sympathy.

It's a pity that I met Lin Changsheng.

Lin Changsheng's shot was as fast as lightning, and he disappeared in place like a ghost, and when he stood still again, he dragged the big man out of the door of the restaurant with the big man in his hand.

Mu Jiu: "......"

Is it really good to treat guests like this in front of so many people?

Mu Jiu hesitated for a while, Lin Changsheng had already thrown the person out of the door, and a deep voice spread at the door, "This is the fate of the troublemaker!" ”

In the lobby, there are two tables of people who also have the intention of making trouble......
