Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 85 Plan
Speaking of the uprising army, both Lu Quan and shopkeeper Li felt a little uncomfortable.

Especially shopkeeper Li, if it weren't for the news that the rebel army was coming, the young owner would not have withdrawn the store, and he would not have stayed in Jiangjiaba for more than ten years and would go back.

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

The old club is seriously ill and doesn't care about it, but the young club has its own confidants.

Starting all over again is easier said than done!
Lu Xiaosi's reading problem was solved, and shopkeeper Li should be in a good mood, but because he mentioned the rebel army, he was inevitably a little depressed.

He kept some words in his heart, even his wife didn't say them.

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

"Brother Lu, I won't hide it from you. Don't think I'm a small shopkeeper here. When I return to Yangzhou, I may not be able to have a place in the big restaurants of my boss."

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

"The best thing is to go back to be the shopkeeper, but someone has to step aside!" Shopkeeper Li sighed deeply. "Besides, I was chosen by the old boss back then, but now the young boss is in power."

One emperor and one courtier.

When he wanted to show his favor in front of Shaodong's family by using the long fish dishes of the Lu family, he didn't think about going back to Yangzhou, he just thought that it would be nice to stay in Jiangjiaba.

But he didn't expect that the Hongying army was about to attack, and the young owner's family would evacuate the shop and withdraw people.

The three Lai Fushuns in Yangzhou all have their own shopkeepers. These shopkeepers are either from the old club and now they have voted for the young club, or they are new people from the young club.

When he goes back, the shopkeeper's position is gone, but he can't go back to being the boy he was back then!
"If it wasn't for the fact that the insurgents were about to attack, the owner was about to stop, and the restaurants in these small places were all going to be sold. I don't want to go back."

Shopkeeper Li's eyes turned red when he talked about the past.

Although Jiangjiaba is not a big place, his efforts in Laifushun are no less than those of big stores in other places, and the annual dividends of the store are not much worse than those of the two big stores in Nanyang County or Huaicheng.

Now that the boss was about to stop, there were four or five people in the accountant's accountant who went back. He knew in his heart that Yangzhou couldn't accommodate so many of them.

Lu Quan couldn't help worrying about shopkeeper Li: "What should I do?"

Lu Yangge asked, "Then what's Uncle Li's plan?"

Shopkeeper Li looked at Lu Yange lovingly, and did not despise her because of her young age: "I was thinking, it is really impossible, this time I go back to Yangzhou to open a small hotel by myself, even if it is smaller, it is my own business anyway."

"Uncle Li," Lu Yange looked up at the shopkeeper Li slightly, "then why don't you buy Lai Fushun from Jiangjiaba and make it yourself? Uncle Li has put so much effort into making Lai Fushun so good in the future. , wouldn't it be a pity to close the door like this?"

Shopkeeper Li adjusted his sitting posture, and looked down at Lu's Xiao Si in front of him. The child's eyes were full of admiration and love, and it was obvious that he sincerely felt that he had done a good job.

This look made Li shopkeeper feel a kind of affirmation of his ability.

In the past ten years, his devotion to Lai Fushun is obvious to all.It was okay when the old club was there, and the rewards and punishments were clear, which was very convincing.But the old owner has been sick for the past few years, and the restaurant is not as good as before after the younger owner took over.No matter how good he did, the young boss didn't reward him more because he was better than other shopkeepers.

He worked hard to earn money for the young master's family, and also recommended the long fish feast to the young master's family, which made him lose a lot of face in front of his old club.

Now the entire city of Yangzhou is proud of being able to taste Lai Fushun's long fish feast.

But what he got was just a few horses of old stuff from the family and dozens of taels of silver rewarded by the young master's wife.

Buy Fushun and drive it yourself?

It seems that it is not impossible!
Shopkeeper Li suddenly had an impulse in his heart, he wanted to try.

Lai Fushun Restaurant is located in the northwest of Jiangjiaba, close to the gate, facing the cargo terminal not far away.

When Lai Fushun first bought land to build a restaurant there, the area was still a bit desolate.After the restaurant was built, because the restaurant is closest to the gate, you can directly see the ships docked at the pier when you enter the restaurant and sit on the second floor. There are more and more customers in the restaurant, and most of them are passing merchants.

Nearby, restaurants were gradually built in empty places.

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

However, in that area, including Jiangjiaba, the largest and best restaurant is Lai Fushun.

The news that the insurgents were going to attack the capital after autumn must be true, otherwise the owner would not have panicked to withdraw all the restaurants along the route and prepare to sell them.

Lu Xingge put his hands on his cheeks, his childish face was a little yellow, and he looked handsome, unlike Lu Quan and his wife.

"If you sell restaurants now, I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell."

Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but sighed again from the bottom of his heart: "Yes, it's really not very easy to sell."

"It's not easy to sell, and no one dares to buy it." Lu Yange looked at the shopkeeper Li, his eyes were straight and unbiased, "Buying a restaurant now is tantamount to a big gamble, Uncle Li, whether the rebel army will fight or not, it doesn't matter How about the victory or defeat of the imperial court, at least in the next two or three years, the business of this hotel will not be very good, right?"

"Yes."

This time shopkeeper Li couldn't help sitting up straight, and asked with a slight smile, "Then why are you persuading me to buy Lai Fushun? Are you afraid that I will lose money in business and blame you?"

"Uncle Li was joking."

Lu Yange still sat there with his chin resting on his shoulders, "Uncle Li wants to sell the restaurant, Uncle Li manages the business, and Uncle Li pays for the money. How can I influence Uncle Li's decision with me as a young boy?"

"Hehehe...you, you kid."

Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed Lu Yange's furry head, and his tone became more amiable: "The restaurant is really not very easy to sell, but the owner sells it in a hurry, and it seems that the price will not be too high."

If it was a prosperous age, one would not be able to buy a restaurant in such a location.

But now that the Hongying army is eyeing Huaicheng, people's hearts are also fluctuating in the capital. The boats on the river used to come and go, but now it is deserted.

Even if Lai Fushun loses money to deal with it, a restaurant covering an area of ​​nearly two to three hundred square meters, with two buildings in the front and the back and three floors in the upper and lower floors, it may 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 ask the owner to keep them for him.

There are also cooks and buddies in the store, all of whom he trained here, and they can be used in the future.

If he was more daring, put all his net worth, and won all three restaurants that the young owner wanted to sell.

Maybe these three families can be settled with the money they used to buy one.

Even if the restaurant does not operate for two or three years, when the world is peaceful, boats will always go on this river, and boat merchants will always have to eat.

At that time, I was afraid that he would never be able to buy such a restaurant again.
