Chapter 13 Buying the Storefront

Two thousand taels were also in hand, and after agreeing to come to the Mid-Levels Restaurant to teach the cooks to cook and bring them to the dishes in three days, Lin Nanyi and Yan Wenzhi left the Mid-Levels Restaurant.

After they left, Shopkeeper Li gathered all the people in the back kitchen together and waited for Lou Zhan to speak.

Lou Zhan knew how much value Lin Nanyi could create for the Mid-Levels Restaurant, and the dishes she made were unprecedented in the Great Calendar Dynasty.

"In three days, Miss Lin will come to teach you new recipes, and then everyone just needs to learn seriously, and I will naturally not treat you badly." Lou Zhan put down the teacup, and the fan was slowly fanning in front of him.

There are a total of five chefs in the Mid-Levels Restaurant, and Chef Wang's cooking skills are the best, and he can be regarded as covering the sky with one hand in the back kitchen.

Now that Lin Nanyi suddenly appeared, he sensed a crisis that threatened his position.

This kind of person who eats by craftsmanship but does not know how to innovate is the easiest to be eliminated.

Chef Wang smiled flatteringly, and a mouthful of yellow teeth was exposed, making people feel disgusted when they looked at it.

"Master, you also believe in a girl's words, I think she is just embroidered legs, how can there be real materials."

He didn't know what the main family and Lin Nanyi talked about when they went to the second floor, but he understood that some kind of agreement must have been reached.

The more Chef Wang thought about it, the more scared he became.

Shopkeeper Li looked at him with some pity, he really didn't know what to do, he dared to put his beak on the master's decision, he was embarrassed to die.

Lou Zhan laughed lowly, as if he had heard a big joke, and the laughter made Chef Wang's spine chill, and he didn't know what to do.

"Flower fist embroidered legs? Those guys tried Chef Wang's craftsmanship. With that, he went straight to the second floor.

Others don't know what this means, but Shopkeeper Li has been with Lou Zhan for so many years, but it is very clear that Chef Wang's career seems to be coming to an end.

Chef Wang thought that the master really wanted him to show off his skills, so he laughed twice and turned around and went to the back kitchen, he was bound to make a few good dishes today to compare Lin Nanyi's.

I called for several cooks to help.

The other cooks are naturally willing to help, not to mention that Lin Nanyi is Cheng Yanjin, who was killed halfway, is not familiar with them, and they can also get a lot of foreign water with Chef Wang.

Lou Zhan only drank a cup of tea on the second floor, and five or six big dishes were served.

Lou Zhan didn't even look at it when it was brought to the table, his fingers rubbed the fan thinly, making it impossible to see what was going on.

Chef Wang smiled and wiped his hand on the apron in front of him, and sandwiched his best dish into the small plate in front of Lou Zhan, "Master, you can taste it." ”

It was the chef who served the food, and now they were all looking at him with expectant eyes.

Then let them know where they are losing.

The meat brought by Chef Wang was put into his mouth, it was dry and woody, and even a little stuffy.

Lou Zhan's face was ugly, and he didn't want to taste other dishes anymore.

"Shopkeeper Li, this is the strength of the Mid-Levels Restaurant in the past? How can I say that this business is gradually getting cold, it turns out that it is really our reason. ”

After Lou Zhan finished speaking, he got up directly and left the restaurant, leaving a room of people looking at each other at a loss.

Chef Wang didn't believe that what he made was so unpalatable, so he angrily grabbed a chopstick, chewed it carefully, and then argued in his heart: It's the taste, he didn't do anything wrong.

Shopkeeper Li shook his head, there was no help.

......

After Lin Nanyi and Yan Wenzhi got out of the restaurant, they went straight to the dock, Lin Nanyi remembered that there was a two-story shop not far from the dock, but it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time and was in tatters.

But it will definitely be usable after the repair.

If you want to talk about the location, that place is the best, very close to the dock, which can ensure the freshness of the ingredients, and the flow of people is relatively large, and there are people who come and go who have a relationship with the pier, most of whom are businessmen.

The two of them walked quickly, and it didn't take long to go directly to the Yazi residence they found when they rented the house last time.

Generally, it is the clearest idea whether to buy or rent a house, and it is wisest to find this kind of person.

Yazi happened to be at home, and greeted them warmly when she saw them.

After they made it clear what they meant, Yazi became even more enthusiastic, and hurriedly beckoned people to invite the owner of the house to come and go to the house to have a look together.

The owner's family came to know that the house was abandoned because the owner's child was seriously ill a few years ago, closed the shop and went to Kyoto to seek medical treatment, and only returned to Qinghe Town after some health improved.

At that time, I was in a hurry to abandon the shop, so I have this ruined appearance.

The owner's family is directly engaged in the food business, and the first floor is set up in the shape of a hall, and there are all kinds of tables that can be visited under fifteen or sixteen.

The second floor is basically a partitioned room, which is the same as the private room in the previous life.

This is exactly in line with Lin Nanyi's expectations, which can also save a lot of decoration costs.

With Yazi as the middleman, the conversation went very smoothly, and the master asked for 1,500 taels of silver before selling the shop.

Although I have two thousand taels on hand, there are other things that need to be purchased, and the price is a bit high.

Because she liked the place very much, she was also willing to grind the price with the master's family, and after half an hour, she finally sold the house at a price of 1,200 taels.

Yan Wenzhi listened quietly throughout the whole process, and only added a few words in some places that Lin Nanyi did not mention, but what he said was the main point.

Even the owner's eyes when they looked at Yan Wenzhi changed.

After negotiating, they signed the contract directly on the spot, went to the yamen together, and passed the land deed to Lin Nanyi's hands.

Before and after, it took less than three hours in total, and when he came out of the yamen, Lin Nan held the title deed in one hand and the remaining eight hundred taels of silver tickets in the other, and was in a trance.

Unexpectedly, she had been poor all her life in her previous life and had this big shop.

Yan Wenzhi also felt the same way, a few months ago he was still a dying person who was seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed, but now his health is not only better, but he can also move to the town, and he can go to the school in the future.

This is a life that he could not have imagined before.

All thanks to Lin Nanyi's arrival.

Unconsciously, he looked at Lin Nanyi's eyes a little more gently.

It was sunset, and while the weather was not hot, they went to the dock again, and there were vendors at the dock who specialized in taking over the seafood, and basically resold it to other countries.

This three kingdoms in another world are strong, and the waterways of the Great Calendar Dynasty are relatively rich, and they don't like to eat seafood, and seafood is basically sold to the country.

When the vendor saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, Yan Wenzhi was not used to the fishy smell here, and was about to remind Lin Nanyi to cover his mouth and nose, but saw that she was the same as usual, and did not react at all.

This made the doubts in his heart even greater, she was Lin Nanyi, and she didn't look like Lin Nanyi.

It is rare for the vendor to see such a calm person in this environment, and his smile is much more sincere.

"The girl came to see the fish?"

There is no oxygen here, and the fish are basically dead, only he, who still has a lot of live fish, can see that he has put a lot of thought into it.

"The fish of other families are dead, why are there still alive in your family?"

The vendor was even more proud, "I'll fill it with water every quarter of an hour so I don't die." ”

There is oxygen in the water, which ensures that there is enough oxygen to supply the fish with breathing.

The vendors are smart.

"Do you offer fish every day?"

The merchant nodded, these fish were all sold by them to merchant ships from other places to collect them, and naturally they were available every day.

"Are there many categories?" Lin Nanyi leaned over and picked up the stick next to him and stirred it a few times in the wooden barrel containing the fish, and the quiet wooden barrel seemed to suddenly come alive, and the fish inside kept tumbling and jumping.

It's fresh, it's good.

"Quite a few, just look at it."

As soon as the vendor saw her movements, he understood that she must know a lot about fish, and vaguely felt that she would be a big customer, so he didn't hide it.

She took a look, there are indeed a lot of categories, and with these categories, she can also support her restaurant.

"I need a lot of fish, in about ten days, will you take this business?"

The business came, but the vendor hesitated, ten days, the time was too long, he was not sure.

Fish is an ingredient that can't make money if it dies.

"I opened a restaurant, I have to decorate the store in the past ten days, after the opening, I need a lot of fish every day, if the quality can be guaranteed, I can order it all with you."

The business of the restaurant is not small, but he also understands that people here don't eat fish at all.

Even if he was a fishmonger, he didn't like it, and the thorns didn't smell good, just a fishy smell.

Can this business be done?

Lin Nanyi doesn't have so much time to spend here, and he has to hurry back to make a plan for the decoration.

"On the day of the opening, the boss can come and taste it for free, and I will ask for a hundred catties of fish that day, and then the boss will prepare it for me, and pick up the goods to settle the account."

One hundred catties, the people of Qinghe Town can't buy a hundred catties of fish a year, she needs a hundred catties a day.

gritted his teeth and let it out, whether it is success or failure depends on this time.

"Okay, I'll prepare the fish, but the price fluctuates differently every day, and I will talk about the price when you come to the day, but it will be lower than other houses."

The two of them agreed that it would be late after that, and they had been running around all day, drinking some tea in the Mid-Levels Restaurant, and now their stomachs were growling with hunger.

Gu Shi thought that he must have prepared all the meals at home and waited for them.

From the wharf to Qingxi Lane, it took only two quarters of an hour to walk, and now he walked too much today, and now he was hungry, Lin Nan felt that his calves were very sore, and the soles of his feet were sore.

After walking a distance, Yan Wenzhi noticed that something was wrong with her, and asked her sideways, "What's wrong?" Uncomfortable? ”

"It's okay, I've walked a lot, and my feet hurt a little." Lin Nanyi lowered his head and gently slapped it a few times before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Wenzhi pursed his lips, looked at the way home, and squatted decisively in front of her, "Come up, I'll carry you." ”

Lin Nanyi was stunned, and retreated again and again, "I don't know what your body is doing, I can walk by myself." ”

Yan Wenzhi didn't say a word and pulled her hard, she didn't stand firm and rushed forward, and fell directly on his back, Yan Wenzhi stood up and sent Lin Nan up and walked away.

Lin Nan reacted as soon as he could, this... This...
