Chapter 45 Buying a Restaurant

Li Ran came to Fumanyun and saw shopkeeper Yang was settling accounts, "Uncle Yang, long time no see."

"Ah, what a rare visitor, Miss Li, I haven't seen you for more than half a year. Come in, come in, Liang San, make tea." Shopkeeper Yang hurriedly welcomed Li Ran into the private room.

"Miss Li, the watermelon you sent last time is really good, and the tomato, you haven't sold me a recipe for a long time, this time you have to give me twenty, no, thirty." Li Ran's menu business has improved a lot.

"Okay, I'll write you another thirty recipes. Uncle Yang, this is the last time I'll sell you a recipe. I've already written you all the recipes I know, and I'm going to open a restaurant myself, but I won’t sell these dishes, don’t worry, we have different styles, so don’t worry.” Li Ran plans to cook hot pot and Sichuan cuisine, but he doesn’t know how to cook other cuisines.

"That's it, what a pity. What kind of food are you planning to cook? Is the store looking good?" Uncle Yang wasn't worried about being robbed of his business.

"Not yet, but when I open, Uncle Yang must come to support me."

"I know that a restaurant is closed and is about to be resold. You can go and have a look, but the location of the land is not very good. I went to the end of the East Street." Fu Manyun is in the middle of the East Street, with the largest flow of people The place.

"It's okay, Uncle Yang, I'll go and have a look right now, I'm afraid someone else will buy it if I go late." Li Ran planned to leave after finishing speaking.

"Well, I'll go with you. The boss happens to be my friend. He is a kind man. His son is an official in another place. He plans to sell the restaurant and start over there again. Let's go..." Uncle Yang muttered really kindly.

"It's the one in front." Shopkeeper Yang pointed to a closed restaurant at the end of the street, which said resale.

The restaurant looks huge from the outside, and it has three floors, which is very good in the whole town.

Shopkeeper Yang knocked on the door, and soon there was a sound of opening the door, "It's Lao Yang, why are you here?" A fat middle-aged uncle, he looked very friendly.

"Old Liu, I'm here to ask you for business, have you sold this shop yet?" Shopkeeper Yang cut to the chase.

"Not yet, what's the matter, you want to come here to open a branch?" Shopkeeper Liu is very humorous.

"I'm always thinking, your restaurant is good, it's at the end of the street, otherwise you must have made a lot of money over the years. Oh, this is Miss Li, the one I told you about, who wrote the recipe for me Miss Li. Miss Li, this is shopkeeper Liu." Shopkeeper Yang gave a brief introduction.

"Hello shopkeeper Liu, I'm Li Ran." Li Ran entered the restaurant and looked around. The hall is very large, about three to four hundred square meters, and can accommodate twenty or thirty tables. The backyard is probably even bigger.

"Old Liu, Miss Li wants to buy a restaurant, so I brought you here to have a look." Shopkeeper Yang asked shopkeeper Liu to give a friendly price.

"Well, Miss Li, I will show you around. If you are satisfied, we can sign a sales contract right away. The price is negotiable." This shopkeeper Liu is also very face-saving.

Shopkeeper Liu led Li Ran around a few times and walked around very carefully.

The back kitchen is very big, and there is also a big backyard, which is where the waiter, the chef and others live.The upper two floors are private rooms, and the layout is very elegant. On the third floor, you can see the entire East Street area on one side and the rolling mountains on the other.

Li Ran is very satisfied with this restaurant, as long as his hot pot is unique and delicious, he is not afraid of the deep alley.

"Shopkeeper Liu, please make a price." Li Ran asked the price directly.

"Well, Miss Li, you can give me 1000 taels, and at least 500 taels if others want it. These furniture are all new, and the restaurant has just been renovated, so I will give them all to you. This is all because of Lao Yang In terms of face, although my place is remote after all, there are some gold and silver jewelry shops here, and there used to be the West Market over there, which is relatively close to the residential area." Shopkeeper Liu is an honest person.

"Okay then, let's sign the contract now." Li Ran also readily took out the money, signed the contract, took the house deed, took the key, and planned to leave.

"Wait, Miss Li, I have a merciless request." Shopkeeper Liu stopped Li Ran and said hesitantly.

"Tell me." Li Ran saw that shopkeeper Liu was a good person, so he probably wouldn't make any inappropriate requests.

"It's like this. I have a few cooks, an accountant, and two waiters. They are all orphans. They lost their families when they were young. They worked in my restaurant. Now that I've sold the restaurant, they I don’t have a place to go, I thought that since the girl also runs a restaurant, she wants to hire people anyway, so why not try them, I can assure you, they are all kind and loyal people, hardworking and willing to work.” Shopkeeper Liu was afraid that Li Ran would not want them , repeatedly reassuring, even gave Li Ran his son's address, saying that if they had any questions, they would write to him.

"That's fine, shopkeeper Liu, let them come out and meet me." Li Ran also thought it could be used.

A group of five people came to Li Ran.

"Miss Li will be the owner of this restaurant from now on. I recommended you to Miss Li. You have to behave well and don't embarrass me." Shopkeeper Liu slapped him angrily.

"Meet the girl." Several people saluted together.

"Please briefly introduce yourself." Li Ran wanted to know everyone's strengths first.

"Girl, my name is Cui Sheng. I'm 39 years old. I'm a chef. I've been working in this restaurant for 23 years." "Aren't you married?" Li Ran was curious.

"Others dislike my poor looks, and no one will marry me." Cui Sheng was a little helpless, but still very positive and optimistic.

"My name is Lin Aniu, I am 35 years old, I have been a chef for 13 years, I was married, my mother-in-law thought I was poor, so she ran away with someone, and then I came to this restaurant to help the chef learn how to cook." Lin Aniu was a little displeased. Sorry, said honestly.What is the relationship between you and Zeng A Niu who got this name?Li Ran thought to herself.

"My name is Lu Feng, and I'm the accountant in the store. I'm 25 years old and I'm not married yet. My father used to be the accountant in the restaurant. After he left, I became the accountant." Lu Feng bowed his hands to Li Ran politely, Like a scholar.

"My name is Zhou Yang. I am 17 years old. He is my younger brother Zhou Liang. He is 15 years old." The two boys next to him smiled and looked at the new boss who was younger than them.

"Okay, I know everything. You stay in the store first, and I will come to you again in a few days to explain your affairs. Follow me and work hard, and I won't treat you badly." Li Ran thought that there was no need to hire someone It's time to teach them some Sichuan cuisine.

After Li Ran finished his explanation, he went to the blacksmith's shop, handed over the blueprint he had drawn to the blacksmith, and told the blacksmith to send it directly to the restaurant after it was finished.I also asked a carpenter to go to the restaurant to remodel the tables on the first floor. A big hole was cut in the middle, and a grid was installed underneath for the stove.

After making arrangements, head back to the village first.
