Huo Shulan looked at Xiao Tangbao in surprise, this child is the most obedient and sensible, why did he suddenly object, there must be a reason.

A thought popped up in his head, and he suddenly said, "Don't you like the place grandma chose?" Or does Little Sugar Treasure have a favorite? ”

Xiao Tangbao thought about it when he heard this, and still dragged it out: "Grandma, Brother Nong said that there is a restaurant that is not operating well, and now it can be purchased for 3,000 taels of silver." ”

"There must be a place to live in the backyard of the restaurant, so I thought that if we bought the restaurant, we wouldn't need to buy an additional house."

As soon as Xiao Tangbao's words fell, Tang Yingcai and Huo Shulan's eyes lit up.

Obviously, they also thought it was a good idea.

First, when they went to live in Daoxiang Town, they really needed a job to survive.

This restaurant is just in time for rain!

Second, it is indeed not cheap to buy land and build a house. Even if you buy a house that someone else has lived in, the location difference is 100 taels, and it is only a one-bedroom apartment.

Their family of 4 needs two bedrooms and one living room at worst!

Tang Yingcai and Huo Shulan just looked at the house, and it cost nearly 300 taels of silver to buy it.

They only have a total of 800 taels, and it took 100 taels to apply for household registration for the master, leaving 700 taels, and if they buy a house, they will have to spend a lot of silver.

Even with the 10,000 taels of silver given by Xiao Tangbao, the old couple, especially Huo Shulan, feel sorry for this money!

But now there's a restaurant, and that's all right.

But Tang Yingcai still had a little worry on his face: "But we have no experience in running a restaurant." ”

"I don't know anything about cooking with your grandmother......

Speaking of this, Tang Yingcai was suddenly stunned, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

"If I'm not mistaken, this restaurant is the restaurant that the farmer said last time was not well run......

"Hey, why don't we poach the restaurant owner and use it as a back kitchen?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Tangbao and Huo Shulan's eyes stayed on Tang Yingcai's face.

That's not really a good idea.

In this way, the most critical kitchen problem is solved, and other things can be done by the Tang family and his wife after exercising for a period of time.

"Wait-" Huo Shulan suddenly interrupted, "But can the boss agree?" ”

"He was originally a boss, but now he is a cook. We robbed him of his status as a boss, and we wanted him to work as a cook. ”

Xiao Tangbao didn't hesitate at this question, she took the initiative to ask for help, and jumped up in a hurry.

"I, me, me! Sugar Treasure wants to talk to the restaurant owner! ”

Facing Tang Yingcai and Huo Shulan's hesitant eyes, she hurriedly said: "Grandparents know that Tangbao likes to cook, I want to talk to the boss." ”

"And with the help of Brother Nong, Tangbao wants to try it."

"It's fine." Tang Yingcai nodded, he felt that the child was self-motivated, and since he had something he wanted to learn, he should support him a lot.

What's more, the restaurant owner is an adult, so he won't do anything with a child.

He had also heard his neighbors comment that he was an honest man, and he must not be a vicious person.

But he still told her: "Be careful in everything, if you feel that something is wrong, don't say it, just run away!" ”

Tang Yingcai and Huo Shulan had no objection to buying the restaurant, and immediately decided to buy the restaurant.

The grandfather and grandson set off to find the restaurant owner.

*

Daoxiang Town Market.

"Little Sugar Baby. Are you sure the location of the restaurant is here? ”

"Brother Nong told me he was here. I remember it clearly! ”

Tang Yingcai looked at the slightly dilapidated restaurant in front of him, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

It's a good time to eat at noon. But there was no one in front of the restaurant.

There were many people passing by, but not a single pedestrian stopped in front of the restaurant.

Why? Tang Yingcai has never heard of any problems in this restaurant.

Even what he heard was compliments, and many old people remembered the dishes he cooked.

But what's going on with this scene right now?

As if sensing Tang Yingcai's puzzlement, Little Sugar Bao explained to him: "Grandpa, the eldest brother told me the problem. ”

"There is a famine everywhere right now, and although we haven't been affected too much, we have been affected a little."

Tang Yingcai understood it at a glance, and he completely understood it when he heard this.

"Understood. The boss is also helpless, and in order to survive, he has to set the price high. ”

"But most of the people who come to eat in the restaurant are ordinary people, and when they see that the price is beyond their purse, they naturally won't come to eat."

Therefore, over time, the people in Daoxiang Town gradually stopped coming to eat this restaurant.

Look at the plaque hanging in this restaurant - Daoxiang Restaurant.

This situation made Tang Yingcai very embarrassed.

I can't say what is right or wrong, everyone is very hard, God doesn't give you food, the world is difficult!

"You're still transparent. It's been a long time since I've thought about this question. ”

A burly middle-aged man walked out of the restaurant, looking a lot more vicissitudes than Tang Yingcai.

As soon as the man met, he introduced himself: "Presumably you are Tang Xiucai, right?" I have been looking up for a long time, I am Mo Hongbo, the owner of this restaurant. ”

He smiled helplessly and grabbed his messy hair: "It's really a bit embarrassing." ”

"My situation, the farmer should have told this kid. I also have a general understanding of what you two are here for. ”

Mo Hongbo shook his head: "I'm sorry, I won't sell the restaurant." ”

Hearing his refusal with such certainty, Tang Yingcai couldn't help but question.

"Brother Mo refused so surely, presumably many people have negotiated the price with Brother Mo before us."

"Did you push the price too low, so it made Brother Mo dissatisfied?"

Mo Hongbo sighed faintly, seeing that Tang Ying was a scholar, he spoke quite politely, and brought a milk doll, so he let people in.

"This table and chair is a little unstable, forgive me." Mo Hongbo smiled bitterly: "I'm a quick talker, if there's anything wrong, please forgive me." ”

Without waiting for Tang Yingcai's grandfather and grandson to reply, Mo Hongbo started talking to himself.

"My restaurant is the ancestral property of the Mo family, and I don't have to live up to my ancestors' inheritance, but this land deed must not be given to you, this is my bottom line!"

"The other thing is, I have to live in the backyard here with my wife. Without this restaurant, we have nowhere to go. ”

Mo Hongbo also knew that his condition was a bit excessive, and hurriedly added: "However, my backyard is very big." ”

"It was no problem to stay for 10 people. In the backyard, only me and my wife live, and we have no children, so we don't have this blessing. Alas......"

Many people came to him to negotiate the price before, but as soon as they heard the conditions they proposed, they left, and some even scolded him, really angry!
