Chapter 147 Hua Tiantian's Visit
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke after hearing this.
"This is simple and can be taught at any time. I will draft the agreement in the next two days. Those of us who are willing to learn will sign it, and then I can start teaching how to plant."
After hearing this, Zhou Lizheng hurriedly spoke with a smile on his face.
"Okay, Uncle Zhou will take the mushrooms back first and cook them tomorrow morning to enjoy."
Jun Moye also spoke with a smile.
"Uncle Zhou, I'll ask Liu Shan to drive you in the carriage. It's getting late."
After the mushroom planting matter was agreed upon, the next morning, Su Hanchu and Jun Moye went to the place where water flowed into the rice fields in the village, mixed the spiritual spring water with the stream and flowed it into the fields, and then the two of them went to the town.
After all, I had already agreed with Shopkeeper Xu two days ago that I would go there again to discuss the store matters.
At this time, Shopkeeper Xu was anxiously waiting in the store. There was still no business in the past two days. He thought that finally someone was willing to go against Yuelailou, so he had to seize this opportunity to suppress Yuelai.
It was not until the afternoon that I saw the couple from two days ago coming hand in hand, and they hurriedly stepped forward to speak enthusiastically.
"My two guests, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time today."
Su Hanchu looked at the relief in his eyes and spoke with a smile.
"It seems that the Xu store owner has figured this out. We don't need to go anywhere else today."
Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly asked the two to sit down.
"You two, please sit here. Have you eaten yet? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it."
Jun Moye helped Su Hanchu sit down and spoke to Xu the shopkeeper.
"We were delayed this morning by something, and we haven't eaten yet. Please serve some dishes."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu hurried to give instructions to the kitchen.
Su Hanchu took the tea handed to him by Jun Moye.
"It looks like we'll have our own restaurant soon."
Jun Moye also poured himself a cup of tea.
"Then I want to congratulate my wife. You will be the owner of the restaurant in the future."
Shopkeeper Xu, who had just returned from the kitchen, sat opposite the two of them.
"Gentlemen, do you still take my restaurant seriously when you said a few days ago that I would still be the owner after you bought it?"
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye looked at each other.
"Of course I mean it. We both have a lot of other things to do, and we need someone to help us keep the accounts at the restaurant."
After confirming the two people's answers, Xu Dianjia gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and spoke.
"In that case, I will sell this restaurant to you two."
Su Hanchu put down the teacup with a smile.
"I don't know, Mr. Xu, how much are you planning to sell it for?"
Shopkeeper Xu spoke upon hearing this.
"I've been doing business for many years and have met many different kinds of people. You two seem straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. This house is half new and half old.
There's a courtyard behind my restaurant. If you two want to buy the old restaurant and the courtyard together, you can buy it. The front lobby has twelve tables, and the second floor has eight private rooms. Northwest shops aren't expensive. Normally, they'd cost 55,000 to 60,000 taels of silver, but since you're giving me a job, I'll give you 50,000 and we'll go directly to the headman to handle the land deed handover."
Fifty thousand taels of silver to buy a restaurant with a courtyard is indeed a fair price, and there is no need for Su Hanchu to bargain down.
"Since Shopkeeper Xu has said that we are straightforward people, I won't bargain with you. Let's just go with 50,000. However, we need to sign a separate employment contract for you to be the shopkeeper."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu looked hesitant.
Jun Moye spoke slowly from the side.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Xu, these aren't unreasonable conditions. It's just that I have to keep track of the store's books and keep the recipes confidential."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu smiled.
"That's for sure, you two, I have one more favor to ask of you."
Jun Moye looked at Xu the shopkeeper.
"Mr. Xu, please speak."
Shopkeeper Xu spoke after hearing this.
"You two said before that you would arrange for someone to cook in the kitchen, but the chef of this restaurant has been with me for many years. If it is convenient, please stay with your family."
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke after hearing this.
"Yes, that's not a big deal. His salary will remain the same. I have a few new dishes, and they will be prepared by the chef I assigned. The dishes from the previous restaurant will remain the same, and if someone orders them, the chef in the current restaurant will prepare them."
At this time, the chef has already prepared the dish and served it.
"Please enjoy your meal, my dear guest."
Shopkeeper Xu quickly stood up and reminded him.
"Chef Yu, this is the new owner of our restaurant. I've already told him that he's still willing for you to stay. Why don't you thank him?"
Upon hearing this, Chef Yu quickly spoke happily.
"Yu Wei thanks the two owners."
Jun Moye nodded slightly.
"There's nothing to thank you for. Just cook well in the future. Make two more of your signature dishes and let us taste your cooking skills."
Upon hearing this, Chef Yu spoke hurriedly.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Soon Su Hanchu and Jun Moye had their late lunch. They went to the headman with Xu the storekeeper to complete the restaurant handover procedures. Su Hanchu also proposed to repair several places in the store and arranged for the restaurant to suspend business for a few days. He named it Yue Man Ting and asked Manager Xu to customize a new plaque.
After everything was arranged, the couple returned home.
As soon as they arrived at the Jun family, they found that there was a luxurious carriage parked there. Looking at the Hua family logo on it, Su Hanchu let Jun Moye help him get out of the carriage and joked with a smile.
"Husband, it seems that your new love has found you."
Jun Moye reached out and pinched Su Hanchu's face.
"You are being naughty. Not to mention that I am not familiar with Miss Hua. Even if I were, as my wife, you should chase her away. Why are you teasing your husband?"
At this time, in the hall of Mo Chuyuan, Hua Tiantian was drinking cheap tea with impatience on her face.
"When will your young master return? It's almost dark, and I need to personally hand him the compensation for the Jun family's rice fields. If I wait any longer, I'll be delayed in returning."
