When it comes to the rebel army, Lu Quan and Shopkeeper Li are a little unhappy in their hearts.

Especially the shopkeeper Li, if it weren't for the rumors that the rebel army was coming, the Shaodong family would not have withdrawn the store, and he would not have stayed in Jiangjiaba for more than ten years, and he would have to go back.

He hasn't been in Yangzhou for so many years, and when he returns to Yangzhou, everything has to start from scratch.

The old owner is seriously ill and doesn't care about anything, and the young owner has his own henchmen.

It's easier said than done!

When Lu Xiaosi's reading problem was solved, Shopkeeper Li should have been in a good mood, but because he mentioned the rebel army, he was inevitably a little depressed.

There are some words that he held in his heart, and he didn't even say it to his daughter-in-law.

At this moment, facing the Lu family's father and son, he suddenly had a desire to confide.

"Brother Lu, I won't hide it from you, don't look at me as a small shopkeeper here, when I return to Yangzhou, those big restaurants in the owner may not have my place."

Lu Quan asked honestly: "Didn't you go back to be a shopkeeper?" ”

"The best thing is to go back and be the shopkeeper, but someone has to give way!" Shopkeeper Li sighed deeply. "Besides, I was the one who was chosen by the old boss back then, but now it is the young owner who is in charge."

Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

When he wanted to show his goodwill in front of the Shaodong family with the help of the Lu family's long fish dish, he didn't think about returning to Yangzhou, but he just wanted to stay in Jiangjiaba and it was not bad.

didn't expect that the Red Silk Army was about to fight, and the Shaodong family would withdraw the shop and withdraw people.

The three companies in Yangzhou have their own shopkeepers, and these shopkeepers are either people from the old club, and now they have voted for the young owner, or they are new people from the young owner.

When he went back, the position of the shopkeeper was gone, but he couldn't go back to be the original young man!

"If it weren't for the rebels who were about to fight, the owner was ready to stop, and the restaurants in these small places were ready to be sold, I didn't want to go back."

Shopkeeper Li talked about the past, and his eyes were slightly red.

Although Jiangjiaba is not a big place, his efforts in Laifushun are not less than those of the big stores in other places, and the annual dividends of the stores are not much worse than those of the two big stores in Nanyang County or Huaicheng.

Now that the owner is ready to stop, there are four or five people in the shopkeeper's account room when he goes back, and he knows in his heart that Yangzhou can't accommodate so many of them.

Lu Quan couldn't help but worry about Shopkeeper Li: "How can that be?" ”

Lu Yangge asked, "Then what are Uncle Li's plans?" ”

Shopkeeper Li looked at Lu Yangge lovingly, and did not despise her because of her young age: "I'm thinking, it's really not good, this time I will open a small hotel in Yangzhou, even if it is a little smaller, it is my own business." ”

"Uncle Li," Lu Yangge tilted his head slightly to look at Shopkeeper Li, "Then why don't you buy Jiangjiaba's Laifushun and make it yourself?" Uncle Li will open Fushun so well in the future, and he has put so much effort into it, wouldn't it be a pity to close the door like this? ”

Shopkeeper Li adjusted his sitting posture and lowered his head to look at the Lu family Xiaosi in front of him, the child's eyes were full of admiration and love, and he could see that he sincerely felt that he had done a good job.

This look made Shopkeeper Li feel an affirmation of his ability.

In the past ten years, his dedication to Laifushun is obvious to all. When the old club was there, it was okay, the rewards and punishments were clear, and it was very convincing. But the old owner has been sick in the past few years, and the restaurant is not as good as before after the young owner took over. Even if he did a good job, the young owner did not reward him more because he was better than other shopkeepers.

He worked hard to earn money for the young owner, and also recommended a long fish banquet to the young owner, which made him gain a lot of face in front of the old club.

Now the whole Yangzhou city is proud to be able to taste the long fish feast of Laifushun.

But what he got was just a few old horses of old materials from the young family's wife, and a reward of dozens of taels of silver.

Buy Fushun and open it yourself?

Like, it's not impossible!

Shopkeeper Li suddenly felt an impulse in his heart, he wanted to try.

The location of Laifushun Restaurant is in the northwest of Jiangjiaba, close to the gate, and directly opposite the freight terminal not far away.

When I first came to Fushun to buy land and build a restaurant there, it was still a little desolate. After the restaurant was built, because the restaurant was closest to the gate, you could directly see the ships docked at the pier when you entered the store and sat on the second floor, and there were more and more customers in the store, most of whom were mainly passing merchants.

Nearby, restaurants were slowly built in the vacant places.

Even the large open space opposite near the river beach wharf has become the largest and most lively vegetable market in Jiangjiaba.

However, in that area, including Jiangjiaba, the biggest and best restaurant is still Laifushun.

The rebel army is going to attack the capital after the autumn, this news must be true, otherwise the owner would not have panicked and withdrawn several restaurants along the line and prepared to sell them.

Lu Yangge put his hands on his cheeks, his childish little face was a little yellow, and he looked handsome with eyebrows and eyes, not much like Lu Quan's two sons.

"If you sell a restaurant now, I'm afraid it's not easy to sell."

Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but sigh again in his heart: "Yes, it's really not easy to sell." ”

"It's not easy to sell, and no one dares to buy it." Lu Yangge looked at the shopkeeper Li, his eyes were impartial, "Buying a restaurant now is equivalent to Uncle Li, you are taking a big gamble, whether this righteous army fights or not, no matter how the court wins or loses, at least this hotel business will not be easy to do in the next two or three years, right?" ”

"Yes."

This time, Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but sit up straight, and asked with a slight smile, "Then what are you persuading me to do when I buy Fushun?" Aren't you afraid that I'll lose money in business? ”

Uncle Li laughed.

Lu Yangge still sat there with his cheeks crossed, "The restaurant is for Uncle Li to sell, the business is for Uncle Li to do, and the money is also for Uncle Li." I'm a yellow-haired child, how can I still influence Uncle Li's decision? ”

"Hehehe...... You, you boy. ”

Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but raise his hand and rub it on Lu Yangge's fluffy little head, and his tone became kind: "The restaurant is indeed not easy to sell, but the main family is selling urgently, and it seems that the price will not be too high." ”

If it is a prosperous age, a restaurant in such a location cannot be bought if you want to.

But now the Red Silk Army is eyeing Huaicheng, and the hearts of the people in the capital are also floating, and the boats on the river are coming and going, but now they are deserted.

Even if Lai Fushun loses money to deal with it, a restaurant covering an area of nearly two or three hundred square meters, with two three-story restaurants in front and back, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find someone to take over for a while.

If he takes over at this time, he can take over the restaurant at a very low price, not to mention, the pots and pans, stools, tables and chairs in the store, he can also let the owner stay and give them to him.

There are also the chefs in the store, all of whom he has cultivated here, and they can be used in the future.

If he is more bold and fights all his worth, he will win all the three restaurants that the young owner wants to sell.

Perhaps, these three can be done with the money they used to buy one in the past.

Even if the restaurant doesn't do it for two or three years, when the world is peaceful, the river will always have to go by boat, and the boat merchants will always have to eat.

At that time, I was afraid that he would not be able to buy such a restaurant if he wanted to.
