After some investigation, Li Mingcheng felt that this matter was promising, so he was ready to let go of his hands and feet to do a big job, but this business is not as good as studying, only a pair of tricks are needed.

The cost of opening the store, the manpower to take care of the store, the joints in the open and in the dark, etc., all need someone to take care of it, Li Mingcheng thought about it and finally found Jiang Zhicheng, a respected elder of his wife's family, to plan this matter together.

The Jiang family in Caochuan County is not a big family, Jiang Zhige used to serve in Jinling, and the children of the Jiang family inevitably came to join him, but now that Jiang Zhige has lost his official position, he is poor and white, and his attitude is a little subtle.

It's just that when the children of the Jiang family came to the door, Jiang Zhige thought of the friendship of his own clan in his heart, and he had always helped if he could, but now Jiang Zhige has lost his power, and if the Jiang family and others completely turn their faces and deny people, it is estimated that their reputation will be hindered.

So when Li Mingcheng came to the door, Jiang Zhicheng was warmly welcomed, but when it came to borrowing money and borrowing people to open a store, Jiang Zhicheng was concerned about it.

In the end, Li Mingcheng had no choice, he moved with emotion and reason, and promised heavy benefits, so Jiang Zhichengcai reluctantly relaxed a little, but also put forward quite harsh requirements.

First of all, Jiang Zhicheng can only pay half of the cost of opening the store at most, and Li Mingcheng can only find his own way, and secondly, the Jiang family can pay for the people who open the store, but the salary is determined, and the location of the store must be discussed by the clan, and it is not allowed to be self-dictated.

Although Jiang Zhicheng's conditions are harsh, the current Li Mingcheng has no other choice but to grit his teeth and agree. The sale of what should be sold at home, and the loss of face, borrowed some from his best friends, and finally made up enough half of the capital.

It is related to his own livelihood, Li Mingcheng is naturally very attentive, not only using his connections, but also going to Jinling City to invite a few undesirable cooks back, the dishes used in the store, all of them are personally tasted, and many literati and Moshi are found to try the dishes, so that after more than two months of busy work, this restaurant slowly opened.

At the beginning, the location of the restaurant was remote, and the reputation was not obvious, and the business in the store was naturally good, and there were many customers, but it couldn't resist this Li Mingcheng really deserved the name of Mingcheng.

Jiang Gulan was worried that her husband was working hard outside, and she was really uneasy to sit alone in the center of the house, so she was still ready to come out to help Li Mingcheng and run this business. At the beginning, Li Mingcheng did not agree with Jiang Gulan to do this, although he was a more enlightened scholar, but he was still quite repulsed by his wife's practice of accompanying him to show his face.

Jiang Gulan saw that she couldn't convince her husband, so she had a plan, saying that she didn't go out much every day, and she was drinking

In front of the building, there is a song of zither, no matter whether it is successful or not, I promise to leave immediately, and never stay for a while.

Li Mingcheng originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist his wife's bitter pleading, and finally had to agree. Although Jiang Gulan is good at music, in addition to being usually self-satisfied, at most she just presents a song at the family banquet.

However, Rao is Jiang Gulan is a little bad at coping with this scene, but she can't resist her youth and beauty, she has the color of captivating the country and the city, and she is a new woman, with her own charm. Just don't touch the song, the flowers and branches stand there and smile slightly, I am afraid that it is also to win a full house of idlers in the city.

Not to mention that Jiang Gulan herself is a good player in this way, as soon as the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" came out, it was full of lingering sounds, and it lasted for three days, and everyone listened to it as if they were fascinated.

Because of the arrival of Jiang Gulan, this remote restaurant gradually became popular, and its wine and food were really good, and after a period of time, it soon accumulated a group of customers. Li Mingcheng was overjoyed when he saw this, and he became more concerned about running a restaurant.

Facts have proved that Li Mingcheng is still very discerning, if Li Mingcheng has enough capital, this restaurant can be operated independently, it will definitely be a great success, and there will be no tragedy later. But this problem lies precisely in the fact that he does not have enough capital, and he is not a local person in Caochuan County, so he has to rely on the power of his wife clan to run this restaurant.

It turned out that although Li Mingcheng and Jiang Gulan were busy inside and outside this restaurant, because of the need to open up the local joints, on the surface, the owner of this restaurant was Jiang Zhicheng. Of course, everyone is a neighbor, and who is actually taking care of this restaurant is something that can be seen with long eyes.

Although Jiang Jiaerlang runs a lot of errands in the restaurant, Li Mingcheng also calculates the salary, and it is three points more generous than ordinary people, as for Jiang Zhicheng, in addition to a little capital, he didn't take a look at this restaurant at all, and because of half of the capital, he not only had to collect water conservancy money, but also dividends in the restaurant's accounts, which was a profitable business.

Li Mingcheng is an honest gentleman, and he doesn't care about it, Jiang Zhicheng was a little embarrassed at the beginning, but without the elder of his wife's family, he couldn't afford it.

So even if the restaurant business gradually improved in the end, Li Mingcheng's wallet gradually widened, and he was fully capable of repaying half of the capital, he did not choose to do so, but continued this situation and continued to let Jiang Zhicheng get a share.

Of course, this is not without the reason for continuing to borrow Jiang Zhicheng's local identity, but more out of friendship considerations, Li Mingcheng is so knowledgeable and interesting, Jiang Zhicheng, who was still worried that he had no money, was naturally overjoyed.

Since Li Mingcheng has proved that he is a person with real skills, Jiang Zhicheng naturally changed his sneering and sneering at him in the morning, and did not like to see him, but put down his body and mingled with Li Mingcheng, not dangling in the restaurant all day long, but looking for Li Mingcheng to drink two glasses, just like a kind elder.

Although Li Mingcheng has a good mind, he is a scholar, and he inevitably has some bookish spirit, and his understanding of market life is limited after all, and he does not know that there is an old saying in the market called "buying and selling are done with your own hands, and the crops are not entrusted to others."

The business of the restaurant is booming, but Jiang Gulan finally fell ill at home because of the hard work all day, although the business of this restaurant is profitable, how can it be compared with his wife? Therefore, Li Mingcheng is busy running the restaurant while taking care of his wife, and naturally he is gradually a little powerless in the operation of the restaurant, and the money he makes is less, which naturally arouses Jiang Zhicheng's dissatisfaction.

Therefore, Jiang Zhicheng often came to the restaurant to complain that Li Mingcheng was not interested in the business of the store, and Li Mingcheng also began to be dissatisfied with Jiang Zhicheng, because even if Jiang Gulan had fallen ill, Jiang Zhicheng still wanted Jiang Gulan to come to the restaurant to show up in order to maintain the restaurant's business.

So after the two disagreed, there was a fierce quarrel soon after, and finally broke up, after the two broke up, Li Mingcheng completely gave up the restaurant business, returned home to take care of his wife, and the property in the restaurant has not been liquidated.

Since the two completely fell out, Li Mingcheng has been going to Jiang Zhicheng to ask for liquidation of property and get back his share of money. But because the nominal owner of the restaurant has always been Jiang Zhicheng, after Li Mingcheng left the restaurant, the property was also controlled by Jiang Zhicheng, so he found many reasons to shirk it.

In desperation, Li Mingcheng had no choice but to draft a petition and sue the official to collect debts, but Li Mingcheng had no official status, and he was a weak scholar, where was Jiang Zhicheng, who was a powerful and wealthy man, and Jiang Zhicheng who had deep roots in Ye Mao in Caochuan County?

Not long after, Jiang Zhicheng knew that he couldn't run the restaurant well, so he simply sold it, and took all the money into his pocket.

However, although Li Mingcheng made some money by running a restaurant, most of the money he invested at the beginning was borrowed from his best friends, and after repaying this part of the money, there was not much left, and the whole family had to eat and drink, and his wife was seriously ill, so he naturally wanted money everywhere.

But the restaurant he worked hard to run was sold by others, and a Zhuangzi was built, which made Li Mingcheng extremely painful and in an extremely bad mood, and soon after, Li Mingcheng vomited three liters of blood without warning, and he couldn't afford to be sick.
