Chapter 297 Suppressed
The jewelry store couldn't continue, so it was transformed into a tea shop, then a teahouse, and a cloth shop...
After two years, it can be said that all the money was lost, even worse than being thrown down the drain.
At least you can hear the sound of skipping stones on the water!
The compensation was huge, so Hu Xingyi and the Han couple naturally felt resentful and even had the idea of splitting up.
Hu Xingxian naturally refused.
If the family does not split up, all the family properties will be managed by him as the eldest brother. If there is any compensation, it will be the public money that will be compensated. Their first wife will still have enough food and clothing, and can even make some money from the business. But if the family splits up, not only will he have to take charge of the business himself, he will also not be able to take advantage of the second wife.
After much thought, Hu Xingxian tried to persuade them again. He felt that the family property must not be divided, but Juweizhai's business had to be saved by all means.
If we want to restore the business in a short period of time, we can only restore the taste of Juweizhai’s food, and that means we have to find a chef with extraordinary abilities and outstanding skills.
But such a chef must be hard to find...
After much discussion, the four decided to find Zheng Mingyuan.
After all, when Zheng Mingyuan was at home, he received so much favor from the old man, and he had to repay this favor.
It took a long time to finally find out that Zheng Mingyuan was in Qinghe, not far from the capital. He was working as a chef in a restaurant, and that restaurant was doing very good business.
The four of them pondered for a long time, and then inquired about the situation of the owner behind the hotel at that time, and then they found Su Yujin.
She originally wanted to list all of Zheng Mingyuan's actions. The other party must be panicking and just waiting for a rift between her and Zheng Mingyuan. Then she could do Zheng Mingyuan a little favor and bring him back to Juweizhai smoothly.
By then, Juweizhai will be able to become prosperous and profitable again.
But now, the girl named Su looked like a weak and gentle girl, but turned out to be a thorn who was difficult to talk to!
Seeing that Hu Xingxian was getting angry, everyone stopped talking immediately.
After a moment, Han said, "Didn't the Su family say that they could terminate the contract if they compensated Zheng Mingyuan? If that doesn't work, just take out the money, compensate them, and take Zheng Mingyuan back. Qinghe is a small and shabby place, and the Su family doesn't look rich, so I guess they don't have much money."
Things that can be solved with money are easy to solve!
"Idiot!" Hu Xingyi scolded, "Didn't you hear her say it was a sky-high compensation? With Zheng Mingyuan's eyes on the top of his head, he must have asked her for a lot of money to become a chef!"
"Besides, Zheng Mingyuan has received favors from our Hu family, so he should be making money for our family. Why should we pay him again?"
Hu Xingxian nodded, "That's right."
The key point is that this Su guy seems to be quite stubborn, and if I go to find Zheng Mingyuan alone, I'm afraid he will definitely not follow me back to the capital.
This is not going to be easy...
Hu Xingxian frowned.
Sun thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go look for the nobleman?"
Seeing that the other three were all looking at her, Sun cleared her throat and continued, "That Su guy dared to shout at us like this, isn't it just because he is close to the Qinghe County Magistrate and has a relative who is an official in the capital."
"She has a strong backer, and we are not bad either. Juweizhai has a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles on good terms with. As long as someone helps us out, why should we be afraid that we won't be able to get Zheng Mingyuan back?"
“But when Zheng Mingyuan was driven away, it was clearly written in black and white that Zheng Mingyuan was not allowed to interfere in any affairs of Juweizhai. He was not even allowed to use the dishes he learned in Juweizhai, let alone open a restaurant. But now Zheng Mingyuan has not opened a restaurant and has not used Juweizhai’s dishes. Even if we find someone to help us, I’m afraid we won’t have a suitable excuse.” Hu Xingyi was a little worried.
"What are you afraid of!" Hu Xingxian glared at him. "A high-ranking official can still crush a person to death, let alone an official against a commoner? If you say he is guilty, then he is guilty! As for the document he signed at the time, just say that Zheng Mingyuan changed it without authorization and refuses to admit it."
"As long as we have someone to back us up, none of this will be a problem! Not to mention Zheng Mingyuan alone, even that guy surnamed Su can be dealt with together!"
"This Su is not very old, but he has a lot of business. I'm afraid he has some wealth. I think the people in the upper echelons like him very much." Hu Xingyi nodded repeatedly, but he was a little troubled. "Who should we look for?"
Who is willing to stand up for them?
After all, the relative of Mr. Su who is an official in the capital is said to hold a high position.
At least we have to find someone with a higher official position than this person, so that we can suppress him.
"I thought of someone..."
Sun spoke hesitantly.
...—— Su Yujin stayed at home until noon after finishing her lunch. She planned to go to the guest house when it was less busy, so she took Ai Cao with her.
He went straight to the backyard and found Zheng Mingyuan.
Zheng Mingyuan not only instructed Zeng Dayong and others to clean up and clean the kitchen, but also personally made the soup stock for the evening dishes. When he saw Su Yujin coming, he put down his work with a smile and said, "The sun is rising from the west today, why come here at this time?"
"I've been thinking about the golden soup ham and tofu soup that Uncle Zheng made these past two days, so I wanted to ask for a bowl." Su Yujin joked with a smile.
Golden Soup Ham and Tofu Soup is made with fresh and tender tofu, soaked mushrooms, carrots, diced ham, etc., cooked with a sauce made from yellow lanterns, and served with salted egg yolks and beaten pumpkin puree to create a golden and rich soup. The taste is slightly spicy and sweet, salty and delicious. It is quite suitable whether you drink it as a soup or eat it as a soup dish.
Because of its wonderful taste and authentic ingredients, Golden Soup Ham and Tofu Soup has been very popular recently and has become a signature dish among the signature dishes recently.
Upon hearing Su Yujin's words, Zheng Mingyuan narrowed his eyes even smaller. "Under normal circumstances, this would be sold out before dinner time. Fortunately, someone was greedy today and wanted to save some for himself to drink in the afternoon. He actually saved some. I'll heat it up for you."
Zheng Mingyuan lit the stove and started the hot soup. His movements were very quick and efficient. In almost a moment, he brought the hot tofu soup to Su Yujin.
Someone is greedy. Zeng Dayong, "..."
Sure enough, in the eyes of the master, he was not important at all.
Whatever, this soup is made for every meal anyway, so it’s not difficult to have another bowl in the evening.
Just bear with it for now!
Su Yujin looked at the delicious tofu soup and felt her appetite grow. She took a spoon and scooped some into her mouth.
Fragrant, smooth, tender, fresh, spicy, sweet...
Multiple flavors burst out on the tip of the tongue, making the entire mouth immersed in rich flavors.
"Delicious!" Su Yujin praised repeatedly.
Zheng Mingyuan smiled and said, "Since you think it's delicious, then tell me what you have been holding back while eating."
Another week has passed. I feel like I am almost exhausted because I go to bed at 12 o'clock every day and get up at 6 o'clock...
