Chapter 346: Xu Wenyu's Eyeliner
I only thought of Ruyi Restaurant, and then remembered that Cheng Xi said that he would open a restaurant in Anyang County, but there is no drunken Qingfeng Restaurant in Anyang County, that is, he has to find a place to open a restaurant again.
Just a few days ago, he heard Steward Xia chattering, saying that the owner wanted to sell the Ruyi Restaurant, and they would have to be kicked out at that time, and his eyes instantly lit up and said, "Xi'er, aren't you planning to open a restaurant in Anyang County?" A few days ago, I occasionally heard the shopkeeper Xia chatter, saying that the owner of our restaurant thinks that the industrial location of this restaurant is too remote and plans to sell it, you can ask. ”
Steward Xu looked at Chef Zhao and asked suspiciously, "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”
Chef Zhao responded, "I just overheard Shopkeeper Xia talk so much, it seems that he just said it so casually, and I haven't heard him mention it since, whether he is talking nonsense to scare people or true, I don't know very well." ”
Steward Xu said, "Didn't this shopkeeper Xia always say that he was a distant relative of the owner's family, and most of the owner's affairs contacted him, maybe this news is really true, why don't we call the shopkeeper Xia to come over and ask?" ”
Cheng Xi listened to the words of the two, and thought that if he could really take down the Ruyi Restaurant and change it to a branch of Drunken Qingfeng in Anyang County, it would be a good idea, that is, Steward Xu and Chef Zhao didn't have to leave this Ruyi Restaurant at all, or continue to work here, how good, so he nodded and responded, "Okay, let's call him in and ask to see if it's true or not." ”
As soon as Cheng Xi finished speaking, Ah Wen, who was sitting by the door, had already consciously stood up, said "I'll call", and went outside, and after a while, Ah Wen came in with Shopkeeper Xia.
The shopkeeper Xia, who was called in, only felt that his opportunity to curry favor had come again, and as soon as Ah Wen came in, he smiled flatteringly and saluted Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi, and said, "The little one has seen His Royal Highness Gongzi and Mrs. ”
Cheng Xi heard Shopkeeper Xia's inexplicable name, and then saw that Shopkeeper Xia actually made such a big gift, frowned slightly and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have to be like this in the future, just call Xu Gongzi." ”
Shopkeeper Xia was afraid of upsetting Xu Sanlang, so he hurriedly stood up and changed his words, "Yes, Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, is there something wrong with finding the little one?" ”
Xu Sanlang didn't speak again, glanced at Cheng Xi on the side, and motioned for Cheng Xi to speak, Cheng Xi had an easy-going smile on his face, and said, "I have something to consult Shopkeeper Xia." ”
Shopkeeper Xia stood at the door, and hurriedly clasped his fists and responded, "Don't dare, Mrs. Xu just asks, and the little one knows everything." ”
Seeing Shopkeeper Xia standing at the door like this, for a person like Cheng Xi who couldn't stand the concept of feudal hierarchy, he really felt a little awkward, so Cheng Xi first beckoned Shopkeeper Xia to sit down at the table before talking about business.
"I heard that Shopkeeper Xia said that the owner of Ruyi Restaurant plans to knock this restaurant out?"
Shopkeeper Xia was not too sure of the response, "My nephew works beside the owner, and the little one also listened to my nephew before, whether he wants to fight out or not, the little one is not sure." ”
Several people who have always thought that Shopkeeper Xia is a distant relative of the owner's family, and when they heard Shopkeeper Xia's words, they looked at Shopkeeper Xia in surprise, and Shopkeeper Xia looked embarrassed, but they didn't dare to continue to lie in front of Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi and said that it was a distant relative of the owner.
Cheng Xi listened to Shopkeeper Xia's words, remembering that he used to show off his power in Ruyi Restaurant and was superior to others, and he was also speechless in his heart, but there was no change on his face, he still smiled, and said, "Then can you trouble Shopkeeper Xia, and let your nephew help inquire again, is this true?" ”
Shopkeeper Xia replied with a smile, "Of course you can, of course you can, it's just that my nephew has been in the capital with the owner, and I'm afraid that I won't come back until the New Year, and I'm afraid that the truth of this news won't be known until the New Year." ”
Cheng Xi thought that the restaurants in Huai'an City had not yet opened, and if they wanted to open, they would have to wait until the New Year, and if they wanted to open a branch in Anyang County, they were not in a hurry, and they couldn't become a big fat man in one bite.
So Cheng Xi opened his mouth and responded, "Let's not be in a hurry, just wait for the New Year, Shopkeeper Xia will help inquire, if you really want to go out, you have to trouble Shopkeeper Xia to help, talk to your nephew, let him help build bridges, and leave this restaurant for us to sell to us." ”
Shopkeeper Xia heard Cheng Xi's words, so he opened his mouth and said, "The little one will definitely do his best to help Mrs. inquire, and Mrs. also wants to open a restaurant?" ”
Cheng Xi didn't reveal much, only answered, "My husband and I have been in this Ruyi Restaurant for so long, and we always have some feelings. ”
After that, Cheng Xi didn't say more, and Shopkeeper Xia didn't want to continue to ask, and then Shopkeeper Xia took this opportunity to stay in the private room, and everyone was very tacitly agreed that they didn't mention anything about opening a restaurant, and they all started to talk about some inconsequential things.
This shopkeeper Xia interjected a few words from time to time, most of them were words complimenting Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi, so that Steward Xu and Chef Zhao, who were used to seeing Shopkeeper Xia's arrogance, were very unaccustomed to it, and from time to time the two of them looked at him with strange eyes, it was really this person who refreshed their bottom line again.
Shopkeeper Xia's face is really thick enough, as if he can't feel the eyes of the two at all, and continues to look for opportunities to pat himself.
There are also things about the restaurant to continue to discuss, this shopkeeper Xia has not left, Cheng Xi frowned slightly and was a little impatient, but she was not good at opening her mouth directly to drive people away, or Xu Saburo on the side found Cheng Xi's impatience and said, "We still have something to discuss, and please ask Shopkeeper Xia to avoid it." ”
It's rare that Xu Saburo is also tactful and polite, but Shopkeeper Xia is also quite knowledgeable, as soon as Xu Saburo's words came out, Shopkeeper Xia got up with a smile and said goodbye.
After Shopkeeper Xia left, Cheng Xi opened his mouth and continued to talk about the restaurant, "I don't think Anyang County is in a hurry first, just wait for Shopkeeper Xia to have news, about the dishes, there will be Master Lao and Uncle Xu, as for the reward, how about looking at the benefits of the restaurant before making a decision?" ”
Steward Xu responded with a smile, "No problem, anyway, follow Xi'er, Xi'er will definitely be embarrassed to treat us badly, right, hahaha." ”
Cheng Xi replied with a smile, "Of course." By the way, San Lang and I may be going to Jiangnan soon, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back until the New Year, and I'm afraid that the matter of Huai'an Restaurant can only be handed over to my sister and brother-in-law, and they will contact Uncle Xu when the time comes. ”
Steward Xu and Chef Zhao were stunned at first when they heard that Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang were actually going to Jiangnan, but they quickly reacted, how could they have forgotten that this Xu Sanlang was not the country boy Xu Sanlang at the beginning, but now he is the eldest son of King Rui of Jiangnan, and it is natural for the two to go to Jiangnan for the New Year.
So Steward Xu responded, "You can rest assured, don't worry about the affairs of the restaurant, anyway, I and your master have also been working in the restaurant for so many years." ”
Cheng Xi said with a smile, "Then Xi'er thanked Uncle Xu and the master first." ”
Chef Zhao hurriedly said, "Thank you for all your own people, let's go to the New Year with peace of mind." ”
Regarding the things about the restaurant, almost all of them were Cheng Xi saying, Xu Sanlang didn't intervene much, plus opening a restaurant was something Cheng Xi wanted to do, except for what Cheng Xi needed him to do, Xu Sanlang didn't plan to interfere in other things, and Cheng Xi tossed it.
Seeing that the matter of the restaurant had almost been discussed, and it was not early at this time, Xu Sanlang said, "It's not too early, let's disperse today." ”
Steward Xu listened to Xu Sanlang's words, turned his head and glanced out the window, he didn't feel that the lights had been burning in the room, but when he looked outside, it was already dark, so Steward Xu answered, "It's indeed sometimes, you guys go back to rest early, let's meet again another day." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, and then the group exchanged a few words of greeting, Chef Xu, including the shopkeeper Xia, and several people personally sent Cheng Xi and them out, Cheng Xi and the others carried the lantern, and the group walked back slowly.
When a few people went back to the Yu Mansion, the housekeeper of the Yu Mansion kept coming to the door, and when he saw a few people coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "A few people have finally come back, and they have been gone for so long, but they are worried about the death of the old slave." ”
Cheng Xi looked at the worry on the housekeeper's face, and responded with a smile, "Let's go out for a meal, what is there to worry about, you see that you are still freezing at the door, but be careful not to freeze your body." ”
Since he met Yu Zhaocai, Cheng Xi has been running to Yu Zhaocai's mansion, this housekeeper, Cheng Xi is also very familiar with it, and he knows that this housekeeper is definitely sincere to Yu Zhaocai, and he usually cares about them sincerely, so Cheng Xi has always respected this old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper replied with a smile, "You should pay attention to running outside on this cold day, don't get caught in the cold, the old slave asked his subordinates to send hot water to the rooms of several people to boil the kang, and a few of them went back to clean up and rest early." ”
Cheng Xi nodded and responded, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang still live in the house where Cheng Xi lives, the two of them went back to the house, it was really warm, and steaming hot water was also prepared next to the washstand, and Cheng Xi washed up with hot water and went to bed.
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang, who was busy cleaning up, and said while nesting on the bed, "Yu Zhaocai, the housekeeper, has always been very sincere, and he usually treats Yu Zhaocai like his own son, why don't we tell him and let him help find the eyeliner that Yu Zhaocai has placed in this house?" After all, the housekeeper has been staying in Yu Mansion, and he must be very clear about the details of Yu Mansion. ”
Xu Saburo nodded while washing his feet, and responded, "You can talk to the housekeeper in private tomorrow morning." ”
