Chapter 52 The panicked landlord

Mao Jingfeng returned to his office carrying roast duck and pork head meat.

Putting these two dishes in the corner of his desk, he suddenly noticed that the name of the roast duck restaurant - Yangji Roast Duck - was printed on the plastic bag outside the packing box.

In addition to the store name, there is also a contact number printed on it.

Do you know how to promote a new store like this?
Mao Jingfeng was a little surprised and a little funny.

He originally planned to take these two dishes home to eat when he got off work at noon.

But at this moment, smelling the aroma they emitted, especially the aroma of the braised pig head meat, made his mouth wet and his heart felt a little itchy.

Everyone has their own favorite thing to eat.

And everyone’s favorite food is often what they liked to eat when they were teenagers or young adults.

This is also the reason why many successful people always miss certain local dishes from their hometown.

Mao Jingfeng glanced at the open door of the office. After hesitating for a while, he stood up and closed the door. Then he quickly returned to his seat. With a bit of anticipation, he opened the packaging bag and box, reached out and picked up a piece of pork head and put it on the table. Go into your mouth.

After chewing a few times, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The taste of the pig head meat was a bit beyond his expectation.

Not only is it salty and delicious, moderately soft and slightly chewy, but the key is the spice contained in it, which also suits his taste.

The spices in the meat were not very strong, but seemed to have the aroma of bay leaves, cardamom, angelica, pepper, and some other aromas that he could not identify.

He has managed this vegetable market for several years and knows a lot about the various spices used in cooking, but he still can't tell how many spices are in the braised pork.

I can only feel based on experience that there are many types of spices used.

He quickly picked up another piece and put it into his mouth, and then another piece. The more he ate, the bigger the smile on his face became.

He didn't expect that this newly opened roast duck restaurant would be able to braise such delicious pork head meat.

This made him very happy, because the new store was right in front of the vegetable market he managed, and he could eat it whenever he wanted.

This is a treat!
At his age, it is definitely a happy thing to be able to eat what he likes often.

……

Xu Rong is a housewife.

Her husband's job was average and it was difficult to support the family. Xu Rong had to take care of the children and was unable to go to work, so she helped share the financial pressure on the family.

Fortunately, the demolition of my husband's hometown a few years ago has made their family a little financially better off.

At that time, Xu Rong had the idea of ​​investing in a storefront house.

She felt that instead of depositing money in the bank, it would be better to invest in a store and then collect some rent every month to subsidize her family.

But front-end houses in the city are very expensive, often costing more than 1 square meters per square meter. The demolition money from the demolition of her husband's hometown is simply not enough to buy a larger front-end house.

She also doesn’t want to take out a mortgage loan for fear of putting additional financial pressure on her husband.

So, after careful selection, she bought a small-storey house in Yinlin Food Market.

When she bought it, she knew that this house, which was left over by others, was the smallest one in front of the market.

In other words, since she bought this front house, although people have been renting it out, what makes her depressed is that not only is the rent not high, but the key is that those who rent her store cannot last long no matter what business they are doing. collapse.

Her husband summarized the reasons for her and said that the store she bought was too small and most of the business could not be done in the store. The few businesses that could be done in such a small store often had very thin profits and could easily go bankrupt. .

Recently, her store was rented out again.When renting, she heard that the person who rented her store this time wanted to sell roast duck and braised vegetables in this store.

She hoped that the tenants this time would last longer and not close down in another month or two. She really didn’t want to change tenants frequently again.

At this time, Xu Rong came to the vegetable market to buy vegetables while pushing a baby stroller.

The boy lying in the stroller was her second child.

The birth of this boy made her position in the family much more stable, because her first birth was a daughter, but... the birth of this boy also made her family's financial situation worse.

After buying groceries, when she came out of the market gate, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the small store she rented out. It seemed to be open today?

There are a lot of braised vegetables and... women in the store?
She stopped in astonishment and looked at the one, two, three...seven women crowded into the small glass room of the small roast duck restaurant?
She suddenly felt a little panicked.

Because the first thing that came to her mind was the kind of hair washing room where you sit in front of the store every day wearing scantily clad clothes and exposing your thighs.

In such a small roast duck restaurant, there are seven young women with good looks and good figures crowded together. Can this be a serious roast duck restaurant?
What she was panicking about was - if this happened, would I, the landlord, be implicated?
Don't forget that Planned Parenthood didn't fine me, but I rented a store and was fined instead...

Feeling a little flustered, she quickly pushed the stroller to the door of the store.

In the glass room, Yang Xingyu immediately opened the small window on the glass wall and greeted warmly: "Sister, what do you want to order? Our store just opened today. Roast duck is 15 per pound. Other items are also 8% off. Do you want to try something?" I guarantee you’ll be satisfied with your meal!”

Xu Rong frowned slightly, she recognized this boy.

When the agent asked her to come over, it was because she signed a lease with this guy.

But this guy doesn’t seem to recognize her as the landlord?
What she didn't know was that during that period, Yang Xingyu met at least thirty or forty landlords, and some of them failed to negotiate prices.

Moreover, the 12 stores he rented, including the courtyard in the urban village, were all rented through intermediaries.

As a result, his time with each landlord was short.

Some landlords only meet with him for no more than 10 minutes, sign the lease and then say goodbye.

In short, he really didn't recognize Xu Rong, but he felt that the young woman looked familiar. He thought it might be because the young woman had a popular face.

Xu Rong had a straight face and pointed at the seven women behind him.

"What do they do?"

Yang Xingyu laughed, "Oh, they are employees of my other branches. They are here for training today, eldest sister! Do you want some roast duck? Our roast duck has crispy skin. If the skin is not crispy, it costs no money, and it is only 15 yuan today. It’s really affordable for a pound of money!”

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment.

Are those 7 women employees of other branches?Are you doing training here today?

She was doubtful, but somewhat convinced.

In fact, she had never heard that a roast duck restaurant could have that kind of business.

Her eyes shifted to the various dishes in the store such as roast duck, salted duck, braised beef, etc.

After careful inspection, she unexpectedly found that the appearance of these dishes was very good. They looked very similar, but she didn't know how they tasted?If the taste is good, then this store might be able to do business, and she won't have to constantly look for new tenants in the future.

Thinking of this, she pointed at the roast duck and said, "Okay! Then give me half of the roast duck. I want the hind legs!"

"Okay! Sister, please wait a moment! I'll help you get it right now. You can take a look and see if there's anything else you want."

Yang Xingyu greeted him familiarly.

While he was cutting the roast duck for Xu Rong, another woman coming out of the vegetable market came over and looked at the opening announcement on the glass wall with a somewhat moved expression.

　Thanks to Jiu Deng Zhilin for the reward. Please give me monthly votes and recommendation votes.
