Chapter 251: Trial
"Uh, it's the same." Rao is an old man from Su Qin, and he was stunned by Xia Jin's reaction before he came back to his senses.
Cen Ziman looked at Xia Jin for a while before pouting, turned his face back, and picked up the teacup to drink tea.
Xia Jin didn't speak again, drank two cups of tea, glanced at the dim sum on the plate, picked up a piece and tasted it, then put it down and asked Su Qin, "Where did you buy this dim sum?" How's that business? ”
The dim sum on the table is all traditional dim sum, although the materials are well-made, but dry, after sweating in the hot weather, she is really not interested in tasting it.
"It's the aftermath shop down this street. Yu Kee's dim sum is also very famous in the capital, and the business is very good. Su Qin said.
He is a caring person, knowing that Xia Jin and Su Muxian are going to open a dim sum shop, and when he has the opportunity to entertain Xia Jin, he will ask someone to buy the dim sum from the famous dim sum shop in the capital and let Xia Jin taste them one by one.
Cen Ziman picked up a piece of dim sum on the table and looked at it, put it back on the plate in disgust, and said coquettishly to Xia Jin: "Ah Jin, I think you made the burnt fairy grass." ”
In the gradually hot weather, eating a cup of cool roasted fairy grass is really a fairy-like enjoyment.
Xia Jin was too lazy to take care of the goods, drank another cup of tea, quenched the thirst in his mouth, stood up, and said to Su Qin: "Steward Su, you can take a break and drink tea, and let a guy take us to take a look." ”
"Thank you Miss Xia for your kindness." A gleam flashed in Su Qin's cloudy eyes.
Even if Su Mu didn't tell him today, Su Qin would have to find a way to come out and contact Xia Jin.
He is already very shrewd, plus he is old and has a lot of experience, and his vision is not an ordinary poison. Since the last time he had dinner at Wu'an Houfu, he could see that his son-in-law was interested in this Xia girl.
Childe is not young. Wu'an Houfu is also in urgent need of a hostess, and Su Qin very much hopes that the master can get married soon. Even if Xia Jin's status is not very good, it is not a big deal in his opinion. Although the Su family is thin and there are not many decent relatives, it is good to have a powerful Yue family, but in the opinion of Su Qin, who has experienced the ups and downs of the world, the hostess's heart and deeds are good to her son-in-law. Can you make Childe happy? That's all that matters.
So since the last time he had dinner, he has tried to find a way to ask the people of Cen Mansion about Xia Jin's personality, and he has been waiting for an opportunity. I can get in touch with Natsujin.
So far, Su Qin's impression of Xia Jin is excellent.
It is a responsibility to let Cen Ziman and Xue'er go into the teahouse to rest and go to him by themselves; Wandered around outside. When I entered the door and saw him late, I didn't put on a face. I didn't complain, this is a gas volume; When I heard about Dong Fang's affairs, I was not angry or annoyed, and I didn't ask much, this is a city government; She didn't ask Cen Ziman to sit down when she sat down for tea and snacks. This is to talk about rules and proportions, and not to be indiscriminately kind; Sitting for a while and then getting up to do things is called diligence. Resolute and resolute; Now let the old man sit down and rest, and let the man lead her to look at the shop. It's called compassion......
In short, it's full of advantages.
Su Qin called the guy who came up making tea and led Xia Jin to look at the shop.
The area and decoration of the upstairs and downstairs of the shop are clear at a glance, and Xia Jin now has to look at the backyard and kitchen. When she saw that the backyard was so big, the kitchen area was thirty or forty square meters, and there were six rooms in the backyard where the guys lived, she was very satisfied.
After telling Dong Yan about some of the places that were to be corrected, she returned to the second floor and said to Cen Ziman: "It's just right to be a restaurant here." The structure next door is exactly the same as this one, so I just have to look at it. However, with such an area, it is too wasteful to be a dim sum shop, so I plan to sell dim sum on the first floor and a tea house on the second floor. ”
She pointed around: "It's also like this, bring in some high-end tea, arrange it elegantly, take the high-end route, don't mess up like a vegetable market." ”
"You can do it." Cen Ziman doesn't care.
Xia Jin turned his head to Su Qin and said, "Steward Su will convey my meaning to Master Hou and see what he thinks." ”
"Yes." Su Qin said, "Miss Xia's idea is good, and if you want to come to my master's house, you won't have an opinion." ”
is a partnership of three people, Xia Jin is busy, and Cen Ziman is not good at being a shopkeeper. She thought about it and said, "Dong Yan is not from the capital, and he can't be busy alone. There are also a few capable subordinates in my house, so I'll let the two of them come over to help Dong Yan when the time comes. ”
Saying that, she turned her head to Su Qin and said, "When Steward Su arrives, you will also send two capable subordinates to help." ”
Without waiting for Su Qin to agree, Xia Jin waved his hand: "No." ”
Cen Ziman was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xia Jin in confusion.
"One mountain can't tolerate two tigers, let alone three factions? Each of the three of us will send one or two subordinates, who will listen to whom when the time comes? Xia Jin said.
"The two of us listen to Dong Yan." Cen Ziman hurriedly said, "Since these two shops are your masters, Dong Yan is naturally the head." ”
Xia Jin shook his head: "At the beginning, I had your advice, maybe it's okay." But after all, the masters are different, and Dong Yan is from a small place, and after a long time, they will inevitably be dissatisfied. It's not just Dong Yan, but I don't want to say much about them, do you have to look at the owner to beat the dog, for some trivial things, you also think I'm stingy and can't tolerate people. If someone blows the wind in your ears again, it is easier to be unhappy. I don't want that to happen, I'd rather be a villain in the first place. If I am asked to preside over these two shops, I don't want you to send someone in. ”
With Cen Ziman's simple temperament, he was stunned for a while, and then he figured out the Tao inside.
She shook her head with a smile and shrugged her shoulders like Xia Jin: "You people, you just think too much." She sighed softly, "Okay, okay, I just don't send someone." Saying that, he raised his hand again, "I solemnly declare, I originally said that I would send someone, but I was worried that Dong Yan would not be able to keep busy, not to meddle in the affairs of the shop, let alone worry about you." ”
Xia Jin glanced at her: "Do you think I met you for the first day?" If you have that scheming, I don't have to talk so much just now, okay? ”
The conversation between the two made Su Qin, who had a calm expression, break his work. His surprised and funny expression made Xia Jin can't help but glance sideways at him.
"Ahem." Seeing this from her, Su Qin had to explain embarrassedly, "Girl, forgive me." In the past, when serving the old lady of Wu'an, most of the noble ladies and young ladies and old slaves in Beijing had seen it. They all like to talk with a sharp tongue, not like the two girls talk ......," he pondered, "...... So straightforward and funny. After speaking, he nodded vigorously, indicating that these two words were used appropriately.
Cen Ziman laughed, pointed at Xia Jin and said, "She brought me bad." I used to speak at a very high level, but she didn't like to turn around when she spoke, but now she can say whatever she wants. ”
Seeing her so cheeky, Xia Jin rolled his eyes: "With your rectum, what level of words can you say?" You don't put gold on your face. Who just said that others think too much? ”
Cen Ziman couldn't say anything about her, so he was so anxious that he reached out and twisted her arm.
"Hey, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth." Xia Jin leaned back, avoiding her claws.
"Hmph."
Xia Jin sat upright and said to Dong Yan: "This afternoon, I will ask someone to bring someone over, and you can pick some people." It's up to you what works and what doesn't. ”
In the past two years in Linjiang, Dong Yan has changed from a novice who knows a little about business methods to a big shopkeeper who stands alone, and he also has his own uniqueness in looking at people.
Hearing Xia Jin's words, he didn't look worried, he only bowed down and responded simply: "Yes." "No two words.
Xia Jin nodded with satisfaction, took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, and handed it to Dong Yan: "This is six hundred taels of silver, not enough for you to ask me again." ”
Su Qin saw Xia Jin and Cen Ziman standing up and preparing to go back, so he couldn't help asking, "Miss Xia, ...... shops in other places?"
"Let Dong Yan take a look, he thinks it's okay." Xia Jin said, "It's okay to open two more dim sum shops, let's open this one first." Wait for these to stabilize and make money, and then talk about opening a branch. ”
After explaining this, Xia Jin left with Cen Ziman. The two carriages still had to go the same way, Cen Ziman simply got into Xia Jin's carriage and asked, "Then Dong Fang, what are you going to do with her?" ”
Xia Jin looked at her strangely: "Didn't I say it?" She is now free, and it is her freedom to do anything. Why should I dispose of her? ”
Cen Ziman looked at her steadily, making sure that she was not looking for an excuse to cover up, but really thinking so, she was silent for a while, and then said, "So, I can understand that you don't care about my cousin at all?" ”
Xia Jin looked at her speechlessly. If it weren't for the person in front of her who was wearing ancient costumes, she would really think that she was facing a girl of the 21st century.
"Dong Fang, she is beautiful, at least prettier than me; secondly, her background is also relatively pitiful; Third, she is still in love, and would rather not be free and have the status of a wife, as long as she can stay by her sweetheart's side. Such a woman is difficult for a soft-hearted or amorous man to refuse. ”
Cen Ziman didn't understand what Xia Jin meant when she said this, and what it had to do with her cousin. After frowning and thinking for a while, she suddenly realized: "Are you testing my cousin?" Then he happily said, "He didn't disappoint you, did he?" ”
"What nonsense?" Xia Jin glared at her, "Dong Fang didn't instruct me to find your cousin, who do you think of me?" ”
Cen Ziman stuck out his tongue: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." Her face suddenly changed, "If such a woman goes to your brother, will your brother take her in?" ”
Xia Jin rolled his eyes: "Then do you want to try?" ”
"But where can I find someone like Dong Fang? You can't give money to Dong Fang to test your brother, right? At this point, her eyes lit up, "Don't say it, it's a good idea." Dong Fang has lived in your house for so long, and he has a long-term affection for your brother. If she wants to say that she is reluctant to give up your brother, she will stay in the house alive or dead, and she wants to make a room for your brother, which is reasonable. ”
Xia Jin was speechless: "Do you know that this is called looking for trouble?" Be careful that my brother is angry and ignores you. (To be continued)
