Chapter 39: The Gift
Without saying a word, Xiao Yue pulled Wen Youyou, who was watching the play on the side, back to the private room on the second floor.
Entering the private room, Wen Youyou recalled the situation just now, and asked her directly before Xiao Yue could speak: "How much money do you still lack?" Xiao Yue smiled and said, "I don't want to borrow money from you, I just want you to partner together." ”
Wen Youyou said: "I'm not interested in doing business, and I don't understand it at all. Xiao Yue shook her head and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about it, just be a boss with your feet crossed." ”
Wen Youyou looked at her confident appearance, and she was also curious: "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Yue smiled slyly: "You tell me how much money you have first?"
Wen Youyou scratched his head and said, "My money is all in charge of Mu Shi, Mu Shi, you can tell Miss Xiaoyue!"
Mu Shi thought for a while, then approached Wen Youyou's ear and was about to speak, Wen Youyou pushed him away and said, "It's okay, Miss Xiaoyue is not an outsider, you can say it directly." ”
Mu Shi looked at Xiao Yue and said slowly: "At present, the child's cash silver is only 200 taels of silver, and there are still 300 taels of silver for the silver ticket." The rest were purchased from Narita. ”
When Xiao Yue heard this, she felt that Mu Shi, a little girl, still had a sense of financial management, and looked at him with appreciation. She thought in her heart that she would pay 200 taels, and Wen Youyou would be able to sell this restaurant for 200 taels, but she still needed manpower. When she was thinking about how to open her mouth to tell Wen Youyou, Wen Youyou spoke first: "Xiaoyue, you know that I don't have any concept of money, and I don't pay much attention to what I wear and eat, but I also spent a lot of money, and now I can get it for 500 taels of silver." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yue saw that Mu Shi's expression was a little ugly, and hurriedly said, "I still have some money in my own hands, so I can't do it so much." ”
Wen Youyou was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I was going to give a gift during the New Year, but I haven't sent it yet, I feel a little embarrassed, you said how much money you still lack, it's all mine, and I will give it to you as a late New Year's gift." ”
Xiao Yue looked at Wen Youyou gratefully, and said, "I don't dare to accept such a valuable gift, it's useless! I lack 200 taels of silver." Xiao Yue sighed when she saw Mu Shi, and felt funny: "I borrowed this money from you, and when the restaurant makes money in the future, I will give you dividends as interest." ”
Wen Youyou nodded and agreed. Xiaoyue asked Mu Shi to go downstairs and invite the shopkeeper to come up to discuss the sale of the restaurant, but this time Mu Shi ran fast.
Wen Youyou asked with some curiosity: "Are you sure you can run this restaurant well?"
Satsuki naughtily threw a peanut into the sky, then caught it with her mouth and said, "No!"
Wen Youyou was drinking and saw her say this, and she choked and coughed: "Ahem, cough, can you be serious?"
Seeing his appearance, Xiao Yue smiled and leaned back: "Wen Youyou, are you distressed that your money has been wasted?"
Wen Youyou glared at her and was about to refute, when she heard the shopkeeper knock on the door of the private room, and got Xiaoyue's response, and the shopkeeper Cheng went straight into the house.
Xiao Yue gave Wen Youyou a look and told him not to speak.
The shopkeeper Cheng was a little secretly uneasy in his heart, he heard the money at the door just now, and he was even more worried when he saw the two of them look at him like this.
Xiao Yue coughed, pretended to clear her throat, and did not directly talk about the sale of the restaurant, but asked: "Cheng Shopkeeper, you said that you are going to sell the restaurant and go back to the countryside, but you are sincere." Shopkeeper Cheng didn't know the intention of his words, but he found that Wen Youyou had always been a fake color, and he didn't say a word, it was Xiaoyue who was asking questions and answers with him, thinking that this person was so behaving in front of Wen Gongzi, I am afraid that he is also a character, at least he is also a person valued by Wen Gongzi. Therefore, Xiao Yue didn't dare to slack off when he asked, and even some of the diligent know-how was endless, "The small restaurant must be sold sincerely, and it is helpless to go back to the countryside." ”
Xiao Yue thought that she was just a nobody, and she had to act in the name of Wen Youyou in order to gain people's trust: "You Gongzi likes your restaurant very much. While speaking, he gave Wen Youyou a look, Wen Youyou picked up the wine glass and tasted it slowly, looked out the window silently, and accompanied Xiaoyue to act, to see what she was going to do.
When the shopkeeper Cheng heard this, he just showed joy on his face, and Xiao Yue continued: "Your family has been running this restaurant for two generations, and you won't be reluctant to sell it like this, right?"
Shopkeeper Cheng felt that this problem was too tricky, he was reluctant, would Gongzi Wen not buy it, he would be willing, was it too false, and when he was hesitating, he heard Xiaoyue say: "Actually, Shopkeeper Cheng didn't even think about what to do when he returned to his hometown." ”
Cheng shopkeeper was shocked, and felt that this son seemed to be able to see through his heart, so he didn't dare to hide it: "Back to this son's words, the small heart of the restaurant must be reluctant, this restaurant I am watching from the thatched hut slowly into today's two-story building, my father's life's hard work and half of my life's hard work are in this restaurant, but the deficit in the past six months is really bad, the guys are gone, the kitchen is in charge of my apprentice with my eldest son, the one who runs the hall is me and the younger son, and the daughter and my daughter are also helping to cook." It's really difficult!" said this, his eyes were red, "Childe didn't guess wrong, the little one has no strengths except for cooking, he can't work in the field, and he can't sell any old bones, and he wants to take advantage of the fact that he still has a few dollars in his hand to buy some land for rent, but I heard that there are few people who rent land now, and I am also worried about sitting on the mountain." ”
Xiao Yue was secretly happy when she heard this: "Actually, Wen Gongzi doesn't just want to buy this shop, I believe that your family has been doing it for so long, so I don't know if I should talk about it." Xiao Yue deliberately paused, looked at the reaction of the shopkeeper, and then looked at Wen Youyou, who was drinking slowly.
The shopkeeper Cheng only thought about selling the restaurant in his heart, so he urged: "It's okay, this son, please say." ”
"If Gongzi Wen buys the restaurant, but the shopkeeper is still the shopkeeper and the owner of the restaurant, is the shopkeeper willing to be?" said Xiaoyue with a smile.
The shopkeeper didn't react at once, he sold the restaurant, he was still the boss, he couldn't believe what he had just heard, swallowed his saliva and said, "What do you mean? ”
Wen Youyou also turned her head when she heard this, looked at Xiao Yue, and wondered what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd.
Xiao Yue didn't answer directly, but just asked, "Is the shopkeeper willing to keep this restaurant?"
Cheng shopkeeper said: "If you can keep it, of course I am willing, but... ”
Xiao Yue interrupted him and said: "My idea is this, this restaurant will be priced at 400 taels of silver as you said, and Gongzi will use 400 taels of silver to build your restaurant, and then after you get the 400 taels of silver, you will give 100 taels of silver into the shares, so that this restaurant is owned by you and Wen Gongzi." ”
Shopkeeper Cheng thought about it in his heart, although he gave 100 taels of silver, but the money was originally given by Gongzi Wen, which means that he didn't pay the money, and he also earned 300 taels of silver, and then his own restaurant was returned to himself, so what is the benefit of Gongzi Wen? Why did he do this? While he was still thinking about it, Xiaoyue continued: " The 100 taels of silver you took out were used to renovate the restaurant and maintain the operation during this time, and the remaining 300 taels of silver given by Gongzi Wen belonged to you, and you found a house nearby to buy it, and you didn't live in the restaurant, and the courtyard behind it was also used to operate. ”
The shopkeeper thought that the courtyard of the small house in this alley was only 100 taels of silver at most, and there were 200 taels of silver left, and the whole family ate and drank in the restaurant, so there was no need to spend extra money, and if he was the owner of the restaurant, Wen Gongzi could not easily resign himself, but what benefits could Wen Gongzi get?
Xiao Yue saw that he had been thoughtful, and continued: "In the future, this restaurant will still belong to your name, but the revenue will be divided into five points, Wen Gongzi will have four shares, and you will have one, of course, the wages of the shopkeeper, the guys and the kitchen will be calculated separately." ”
Shopkeeper Cheng thought to himself that Wen Gongzi didn't want others to know that he had opened a restaurant and let himself be an imposter boss, no, it was worthy of his name, but he didn't reply immediately, and he wanted to hear what Xiaoyue had to say.
