After the break, Zhang Rui prepared to look for a suitable store. The first choice was of course near the university. This place was highly recommended by Tianjiao and Zhang Yanran. As long as he bought it, he would surely make money in the future!
But precisely because of this, the possibility of buying it is relatively small, especially in terms of value. They have no advantage over others and can only try their luck.
Tianjiao was very interested in the food business, so he followed Zhang Rui around and tried his best to help.
Thanks to her good luck, she found a store for sale near the university town in just half a day. Zhang Rui bought it quickly and then started purchasing materials.
The first step is decoration.
Tianjiao looked at the large store and suddenly an idea came to him. He raised his hand and said, "I'll do it!"
Zhang Rui snorted and laughed: "You come?"
Tianjiao puffed out his chest proudly: "Of course! Let's build an ancient style restaurant. I will paint it and decorate it with Chinese paintings. The students here will definitely like ancient style restaurants. You just paint the store with white paint. I'll go buy some paint."
For such large walls, the paint she brought with her would definitely not be enough.
Zhang Rui also thought of his daughter's paintings. Her skills were already very mature, and everything she drew was very beautiful and full of artistic conception. It was a good idea.
Besides, the more cultured people are, the more they like these things. Take Mr. Song Zhen's paintings for example, they are highly praised. The paintings of the genius who inherited his mantle will surely make many people's eyes light up.
He nodded: "Okay, I'll let you perform it, and I'll pay you then, 20 dollars for one wall."
Tianjiao curled his lips: "I can't take it, forget it."
"Pfft." Zhang Rui thought of his daughter's luck and laughed again.
Xiao He looked at the excited Tianjiao, then looked at Zhang Rui and said, "I can help with the accounting."
Zhang Rui's eyes lit up: "I almost forgot about you."
So they were all drafted into the army. Zhang Yanran went to Song Zhen's place, bought various ingredients and started to experiment. She went to the vegetable market every day. All the food she made was eaten by Song Zhen and Li Mu. Of course, she would leave some for the store.
Everyone performed their duties and progress went smoothly. The entire store was completed in just half a month.
The large landscape paintings on the wall are eye-catching. They are not traditional ink paintings, but various colors of green, light green, emerald green, turquoise, dark green, yellow-green, etc., as well as mountains, water, sky, flowers and so on.
The colors are very bright, yet they complement each other.
More importantly, the mountains and rivers in the murals had a fairyland-like beauty. They didn’t even recognize many of the flowers there. Even Song Zhen didn’t recognize them. He even looked up a lot of books about plants but couldn’t find them.
The painting is very realistic, as if there is such a place in reality.
"The painting is very good!" Song Zhen praised generously.
The little disciple is really talented. He can achieve this at the age of twelve. In the future, won’t he be able to reach great heights?
Tianjiao smiled modestly, accepted the compliment, and waved his little hands behind his back.
The scene in this painting was naturally something she had seen before. She had seen countless real fairylands in her previous life. Just picking out a landscape scene would be enough to make her eyes light up.
Of course, this is also because there is no Internet now. In the future, when the Internet is well developed, all you need to do is search on the Internet and you will find all kinds of magnificent scenery. Although the scenery is amazing, it will not be as stunning as this.
"Hello, excuse me." A polite voice sounded.
The people who were looking at the paintings woke up and turned around, and saw a young man wearing glasses standing there, and he seemed to be holding a drawing board in his hands. When he saw them looking over, he pushed his glasses and said politely: "Hello, is there an art exhibition here?"
Zhang Rui shook his head: "No."
The young man was a little surprised and confused: "Then what are you doing..."
Zhang Rui realized it, raised his eyebrows, and said proudly: "My daughter drew this, isn't it amazing? This will be a restaurant in the future, comrades can come over to eat in the future."
The young man looked at the people next to him, but he didn't find the person he was looking for. He felt a little disappointed, but he became more excited and said, "I admire your daughter's paintings and want to be her pen pal."
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere became strange.
Tianjiao felt several eyes on him, his face turned red, and he raised his hand in embarrassment: "Well, I am his daughter, and I drew this picture. I don't need a pen pal, sorry."
The young man widened his eyes in shock, then looked at the painting on the wall, wiped his eyes silently, and looked again.
After a few times, the young man couldn't believe it and asked, "Is it really you?"
After getting Tianjiao's nod again, the young man's face turned red and he left quickly, without realizing that there was a real painting master in the crowd.
"Hahaha——" Zhang Rui laughed very unkindly.
Xiao He tugged at her sleeve unhappily.
Zhang Yanran covered her lips and chuckled, "Jiaojiao is very powerful."
Song Zhen coughed lightly and rubbed his obedient disciple's head: "This shows that others recognize you. When we hold an exhibition in two years, I will reserve a wall for you!"
Tianjiao was no longer sad and nodded happily: "Okay, okay!"
****
After this episode, the real work began.
Tables, chairs, and benches all need to be purchased, as well as gas tanks, pots and pans, and other items, as well as tap water.
These things are also a considerable expense.
Zhang Rui felt a pain in his flesh, but after tasting Zhang Yanran's food, he no longer felt that way.
The food here at the school is cheap and affordable, and they don't plan to make it high-end, so everyone can afford it. Therefore, Zhang Yanran prepared several kinds of dishes: stir-fried dishes of various flavors, and many braised dishes as single dishes. Of course, she has to go to school and it is impossible for her to be a chef here. Fortunately, there are not many professional chefs now, and Zhang Rui is smart. After studying for a while, he was able to cook a few dishes. What's more, with Zhang Yanran's various secret ingredients, the taste is almost the same.
Hire another chef and two apprentices and the kitchen will be ready.
After the formal decoration began, a recruitment notice was posted at the door of the restaurant, and by the time they were ready to open, several people had already been hired.
At this time, labor was still very cheap, and under Xiao He's control, all kinds of costs were saved.
Tianjiao thought Xiao He was still not good at bargaining.
However, when she followed Xiao He to the vegetable market and watched him talk to the vegetable vendors in a straightforward and efficient manner, showing off his advantages, easily lowering the prices, and getting the vegetable vendors to deliver vegetables to her, she found...she still underestimated the villain.
As they were about to leave, the vegetable vendor was still muttering, "I thought he was just a kid, but he turned out to be so powerful. Damn it!"
Tianjiao chuckled and poked Xiao He's shoulder: "How did you communicate with people before? Can you bargain by writing on paper?"
Xiao He pursed his lips and smiled: "No, but there are many good people, they always lower the price themselves."
Tianjiao blinked and said nothing more.
Xiao He lowered his eyes, his expression showing a hint of nostalgia: "They felt sorry for me and thought I was pretty good looking, but I couldn't speak at a young age and had no books to read, so they didn't ask for expensive things. Even now, when I went there to play and ask for directions a few days ago, everyone was very nice, Jiaojiao, thank you."
Tianjiao snorted: "Why thank you? It's all your own fault. I didn't make you look so pretty."
It was still the same Xu, although she had never seen her beautiful. When she saw her, she was either being beaten or going crazy.
However, since the villain is in this state now, he will not become the kind of person who becomes an enemy of others and eventually suffers a mental breakdown and commits suicide in the future.
Does this mean she has fulfilled her wish from her previous life?
The two came out of the vegetable market. Tianjiao looked around and suddenly saw a familiar face. When he looked at it carefully, the face disappeared.
She rubbed her eyes but still didn't see anything. Xiao He noticed it at this time and looked at her in confusion.
"Nothing, let's go." Tianjiao shook his head, and the two went back.
…
The opening is in three days. Everything is ready and the next step is – promotion.
The time frame given when reporting to the university is quite loose, taking into consideration students who travel long distances.
Therefore, after Tianjiao and Zhang Yanran reported successfully, the number of students around them gradually increased and the store began to open.
Before this, Zhang Yanran had someone print out flyers and hired workers to distribute them. There weren't so many flyers in that era, so the effect was still quite good.
On the first day of opening, firecrackers and gongs and drums were set off, attracting many people.
When they saw this, their eyes lit up.
The name of this small restaurant is very simple, it is called: "Delicious Inn"
The signboard used is still from ancient times, and the door has been specially added with the ancient style doors. The location is not small, and when the four doors are opened, one can see the antique cover of the restaurant at a glance. When they saw the walls inside, their eyes widened.
"This is really beautiful! It's so easy on the eyes!"
"This painting is so gorgeous. At first glance, it feels like you are standing between heaven and earth!"
"The store is very clean. No, I have to go first."
"Wait, I'll go too."
"Save me a spot."
"Oh my god, it looks better when you're sitting inside. It seems to have a more impactful feeling up close."
“…”
The hired shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear: "Come in!"
"Here is the menu, take a look." The young clerk, dressed in ancient waiter's clothes, placed the menu in front of the customer and waited with a smile.
Two students came here together. When they looked at the menu, they felt a little embarrassed. Although the prices here are not particularly expensive, they are still a bit expensive compared to other stores. They can afford it if they grit their teeth, but they can't come here often.
The waiter smiled and said, "Our store just opened today, and all dishes are 20% off."
The student's eyes lit up immediately and he pointed at two dishes: "We want these two."
"Okay." The waiter nodded and took the list to the kitchen.
Zhang Rui took a deep breath and said with full energy: "Let's do it!"
The chef who had already signed the contract nodded: "Okay!"
Then, orders came in like a constant stream, and even with two helpers they were already very busy. Fortunately, Zhang Yanran had prepared various braised dishes in advance to help fill the gap.
Especially the braised pig's trotters, after heating, the aroma is so delicious that it's hard to sit still.
Seeing that there were too many customers, Tianjiao and Zhang Yanran took the initiative to help, one serving as a waiter in the front and the other cooking in the kitchen.
"Why did you bring us here? Oh, it looks very expensive!" A middle-aged woman followed her son in and immediately became alert when she saw the decoration here.
The son said with a smile: "Mom, I made money. There are so many people here, the food must be delicious. Didn't you just say it smelled good outside? It's a good opportunity to try it."
The woman immediately expressed disgust and started to belittle the restaurant, "What's so good about it? I don't smell it at all..." Halfway through her words, a clear voice interrupted her, "Hello, auntie, hello, brother, please sit over here. There's just an empty table."
The woman swallowed the words she hadn't finished saying and looked at the delicate and pretty girl in front of her. Wow, she's only twelve years old and already working?
She suddenly felt sad for her, but couldn't say anything. She could only sit down, still feeling that it was a waste.
Her son, on the other hand, smiled calmly and said, "Can you recommend something? I don't know what would be delicious."
Tianjiao thought of the taste of Zhang Yanran's cooking, and his mouth suddenly watered. He swallowed and asked, "Can you eat spicy food?"
The young man nodded: "All is fine."
"I recommend this, boiled fish fillet, it's delicious, the fish meat is very tender!" Tianjiao pointed at the dishes on the menu, "We just opened today, we're giving you 20% off."
The middle-aged woman immediately looked at her son: "What do you think?"
"Okay." The young man nodded.
So the two of them ordered this dish, plus two servings of rice. The rice can be refilled as much as you want, but generally speaking, you won’t lose out unless you meet a big eater.
After they ordered the food, Tianjiao immediately went to entertain other guests. Under the little Loli's pretty face and bright smile, almost all the guests who came in ordered food.
Soon, the hall was filled with the aroma of food.
There are also many students here. They look at the paintings on the wall and praise them highly.
Later, when we got to the restaurant, more and more people came. Occasionally, we could see one or two guests with cameras taking pictures of the wall. Some people also asked the shopkeeper who painted this picture, as they wanted to meet him.
Of course it was all vague.
Xiao He was the cashier. He was good at accounting. As soon as someone asked for the bill, he would immediately take the account book, settle the bill in no time, and keep records.
Zhang Rui took every aspect into consideration before opening the store, so the preparations were very thorough, and nothing happened that could not be handled throughout the entire day of opening.
When I settled the profits in the evening, I was immediately shocked.
After deducting all expenses, including money for helpers, money for groceries, etc., there is still more than 20 yuan left. Even though this is the first day, everything is discounted. If it weren’t for the discount, I guess... not that much.
Most people are frugal nowadays. Even though their store is not particularly expensive, it is still two cents more expensive than the surrounding small restaurants on average. Two cents may not mean anything in the future, but at this time, two cents is also a certain amount.
****
After a successful opening on the first day, Zhang Rui's business was on the right track. On the second day, he offered a 5% discount. Although the discount was not large, quite a few people came.
Zhang Yanran continues to add new dishes, including milk tea, which is the favorite drink of girls in later generations. After this was made, its popularity is on the rise.
The employees here, especially the chefs, are paid twice as much as those in ordinary stores, but for safety reasons, Zhang Rui and his colleagues still signed a contract. If the secret recipe is leaked, they will be directly asked for huge compensation.
Those who come here to work are not from wealthy families, so naturally they will not give in.
Especially the milk tea, even if they wanted to leak it, there was no way. The pearls in the pearl milk tea were made by Zhang Yanran herself, which cannot be replicated in a short time.
Speaking of this, Tianjiao couldn't help but admire Zhang Yanran's ability in food.
While chewing on the delicious pie, Tianjiao kept praising in the car: "Your cooking skills are really impressive."
Zhang Yanran smiled modestly: "It's okay, your paintings are really beautiful."
The two of them flattered each other for a while, and when they arrived at the school gate, they got off the car, one went to the medical building, one went to the history building, and Song Zhen went to the School of Art.
The three score three different places.
As the youngest college student, Tianjiao's appearance was a unique sight in their department, but basically everyone liked her very much.
When the classroom was about to begin, Tianjiao gave the extra pie made by Zhang Yanran to his friend Yuan Shu who taught in the school.
"Thank you. The breakfast you bring is always so delicious. This morning my mom stuffed buns into my mouth but I refused them." Yuan Shu's round face smiled happily. She took a bite and the rich aroma of the stuffing filled the classroom.
Immediately, everyone looked around and someone complained, "Tianjiao, this is unfair. We are all classmates, but in the end, no one is here."
Tianjiao propped his face with his hands and replied lazily: "Come to my house for lunch at noon. The chef who cooked the food was taught by the pie maker."
"We have to go. We go every day these days and our pocket money is almost gone." A young man complained with a smile.
Tianjiao was surprised: "I asked them to give you a discount!"
The young man said innocently, "It's because the food in your store is so delicious that I accidentally ate too much, so naturally I didn't have enough money."
Tianjiao also smiled and waved his hand generously: "I'll give you five cups of pearl milk tea at noon, first come first served."
"Of course!"
Soon the teacher arrived and everyone immediately composed themselves and started the class.
Everyone is very in awe of the classroom, especially the students who can come here to take classes. Who of them didn’t study hard all night before the college entrance examination?
Tianjiao also became serious and listened to the medical teacher's lectures. He wrote down every word of the complicated content he taught and thought about it in his mind.
…
At noon, Tianjiao did what he said and asked Zhang Rui to serve milk tea to the first five people who came to their restaurant. However, Zhang Rui was more generous than Tianjiao and directly gave milk tea to all the students in their class.
Tianjiao covered his face, feeling deeply ashamed.
Not only did she not make any money, she also kept spending money, which was really not good.
Xiao He, who was working the cash register, heard her mumbling and said, "There will be a garden party in half a month. Your father and I plan to close the store during this period to participate in the event and advertise the store. There will definitely be a lot of people over there. If you occupy a booth a little further in, you can make a lot of money. Come and help, and I'll give you a share of the money we make."
Garden party? !
Tianjiao thought about it in his mind.
I immediately remembered that this event has been held in early October in recent years. Kyoto was indeed crowded with people at that time. It was so easy to make money at this time.
Tianjiao nodded immediately: "No problem, no problem, what can I do?"
Xiao He looked at her softly. Seeing how excited she was, he said softly, "Draw a sign for us. If there are many customers in the future, you will have to help collect the money."
Tianjiao: "Okay!"
So the matter was settled. In fact, they had already started preparing, and even had the stall ready. It would be a waste if they didn't make a big profit at this time.
There are a lot of people attending the garden party, and the weather in October is relatively cool, so things won’t go bad immediately, so there is no problem in preparing suppliers in advance.
Zhang Yanran is also passionate about this. She is like this for all money-making activities. Leaving Zhang Dong is also like leaving the constraints. She wants to play her role to the fullest.
When drawing the signboard, he made a lot of suggestions, which caused Tianjiao to successfully waste several pieces of cloth.
After ruining another piece of cloth, Zhang Yanran asked anxiously, "Jiaojiao, will you be unhappy that I'm pointing fingers at you?"
Tianjiao shook his head naturally: "No, I don't know much about business, and your aesthetic taste is fine. I believe you can do it."
Zhang Yanran was very touched by Tianjiao's good temper and his trust in her, so she set even higher standards, striving to be stunning so that when the sign was unveiled, they would stand out from the crowd.
In her previous life, she had heard a lot about the love-hate relationship between the client and the contractor. She didn't expect that in this life, as the client, she would meet such a well-behaved contractor. Zhang Yanran decided to make more of Tianjiao's favorite food tonight to compensate her.
So after a tiring whole day, I ate my favorite cola chicken wings and drank ice cola at night, and instantly felt all the fatigue disappear.
…
On the day of the garden party, Tianjiao and his team got up at three in the morning and arrived at the designated location at four. Tourists started to show up at five. They prepared a lot of food, including fried vermicelli, fried noodles, fried rice, and a refreshing mung bean soup. The mung bean soup was hot in the morning, but it became cold after ten o'clock, and there was a special person who kept delivering ice.
So early in the morning, they kept hearing a voice: "Hey, this sign looks so conspicuous, it's really good for my stomach, let's go over and take a look."
"It smells so good, which shop is this from?"
"This one, the most eye-catching one, the painting on this sign feels so charming."
"Brother, who painted this picture?"
Zhang Rui, who was busy, looked up and said proudly: "My daughter is amazing. She has been learning to paint since she was young."
"Hey, brother, you look very young, how old is your daughter?"
Zhang Rui pointed at Tianjiao who was collecting money and said, "This."
"Wow!"
The sound of envy rang out again, and people who heard this spread the word, so more people came to their stall to buy things.
"I heard that their sign was painted by the boss's daughter. It's so beautiful!"
"This painting is better than on TV, let's take a look!"
Tianjiao could only say, "Hello, uncle and auntie, hello sister. We have a restaurant over at Tsinghua University. You can come and taste it often in the future."
"Thank you, Auntie. That's twenty cents."
"Sister, would you like a cup of green bean smoothie?"
So by two o'clock in the afternoon, they had sold out.
The stalls next to them have become very busy because of their business. There is a long queue here, and some people who are too hungry will choose the stalls next door.
But those that are further away may be affected.
It was because Tianjiao and his team had two chefs and many assistants who were responsible for collecting the money. They were very fast and could get in line in no time.
They closed their stall at two o'clock in the afternoon.
A middle-aged man with a big belly came over and saw that they had already packed up their stalls. He was a little surprised and said with a bit of sourness: "Closing up so early? Have you sold out everything?"
Zhang Rui looked up when he heard this, smiled knowingly, and said, "We didn't prepare much, so they were sold out in no time."
The man said disdainfully: "You think this is not enough? There are tourists eating your food all around here, and we haven't even sold out the food I prepared."
Zhang Rui's smile faded: "Brother, what you said is not right. We all rely on our own abilities. We can't force customers to come and buy our things."
The man curled his lips, touched his belly, and turned away.
But as they left, their eyes stayed on the sacks they had packed their things in for several seconds.
Tianjiao didn't notice it either. She was carefully protecting the money she got from the cashier. She had a bag hanging in front of her, and the originally deflated bag was now bulging.
…
"What? They said that all the prepared things were taken away by others?" Zhang Rui looked at the two people who came to report in front of him with a shocked face.
These two people are employees of their store. The activity will not end in one day, but will last for three days. They have agreed with the vendors that during the three days, someone will collect the goods to be used for the next day at 5 pm every day.
Anyway, you just need to spend some money to buy ice, otherwise it will be too late to prepare it in the early morning.
But now, these two people went there with a trailer, only to tell them that the things were gone?
At this time, Tianjiao and Zhang Yanran were just finishing dinner and getting ready to go to bed. When they heard this, they stopped on their way back to their room and sat back down silently.
The two people who reported were a chef and an assistant. The one who spoke was the chef, a middle-aged man. His wife also worked as a cleaner in their store. She had signed a contract and was a pretty honest person.
The chef said with a bitter face: "When we went there, the boss directly said that everything was sold out and there was nothing left."
Zhang Rui said in disbelief: "Did he forget the contract he signed with us? If he doesn't provide enough ingredients, he will be in breach of the contract and will have to pay double the money!"
The chef was more confident when talking about this, and said helplessly: "The boss insisted that they just didn't have enough ingredients. Even if we really ask them to compensate, there is nothing to compensate. Without ingredients, there is nothing to be done!"
Zhang Rui sneered: "If we sign the contract without enough ingredients, will our contract be invalid?"
It is obvious that the boss is not serious about the contract and thinks that it may not have legal effect, or he is not afraid of it.
The scene froze for a moment. The chef in charge of transporting the goods did not dare to speak. He could only obediently hand over the deposit returned by the vendor and then sit aside waiting for Zhang Rui's decision.
Today's revenue was equal to the store's revenue of the previous week. Although it was hard and tiring, it was actually fun to be busy. Especially after they came back, Xiao He sorted out the money, and everyone kept eating without stopping.
Now it has become like this, are we going to give up the profits of the remaining two days?
How is that possible.
Zhang Rui was unwilling to give up and stood up: "I'll go get the ingredients for tomorrow first."
As for the boss, of course he can't take care of it for the time being.
But everyone present was unwilling to let it go like this. Zhang Yanran was so angry that her face turned red. "At least they have to pay us twice the amount of compensation in the contract. Otherwise, we will go find other ingredients first. What if he bites back?"
Tianjiao nodded and said, "Yes, let's think of a solution! How about we find a lawyer now? Where is the nearest law firm?"
Li Mu shook his head and smiled: "It's already five o'clock in the afternoon. It's too late to find a lawyer."
Zhang Rui had a dark face and was also very angry, but he had begun to calm down slowly. Doing business is naturally not always smooth sailing. Those who want to achieve great things, especially those who are just starting out with no money or power like them, have to endure a lot of grievances. He let out a breath.
Song Zhen took a sip of tea slowly and said slyly, "In this case, the most urgent thing is to find a new supplier first. As for the contract, I will take care of it!"
Zhang Rui was surprised: "How do you solve it?"
Song Zhen said complacently, "Don't forget which college I am a professor at! Professor Chen from the Law School is very familiar to me. He has a lawyer's license, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to help with a small lawsuit. What's more, he doesn't even need to go to court. He just needs to say a few words and the person will definitely pay back the money."
Zhang Rui felt completely relieved and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Song."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Tianjiao said happily.
Facing the little apprentice, Song Zhen's expression softened a lot: "It's okay, it's nothing, it just so happens that Professor Chen owed me a favor in the past. Don't worry, it will be done in a moment."
Song Zhen has a dedicated driver and car. This was given to him by the academy because he is an old artist with poor legs and feet. As long as he is in office, he can have his own driver.
After the discussion here, they immediately split into two groups. Since it was only five o'clock and there was still time, one went to find Professor Chen and the other went to find a new supplier.
…
Zhang Yanran was about to follow, but Tianjiao held her back in the room: "You are tired today, take a rest first."
Zhang Yanran was embarrassed: "You want to go too."
Tianjiao raised his head proudly: "I'm different, I'm luckier, maybe I can find a suitable supplier soon if I go."
Zhang Rui wanted to laugh, but quickly restrained his smile and took the little girl out. Of course, with the little girl, there would naturally be another tail, Xiao He, but his presence was not strong and could be ignored.
Originally he didn't want to be with this girl.
She went out with them at four in the morning today. Although Zhang Rui got up earlier, the child is still young and should not stay up late.
But thinking of Tianjiao's strange good luck, Zhang Rui couldn't say the refusal that was on his lips: "Okay, then let's finish it quickly and come back to sleep."
Tianjiao nodded with a smile and looked up at the sky: Tiandao Dad! You must bless us so that I can go to bed early!
Perhaps this prayer worked, as most of the stalls in the vegetable market were closed in the afternoon. However, based on their previous experience, they walked a little further inside to try their luck, and they actually met a stall owner whose stall was not very good. There were many things on the stall, including the flour and noodles that Tianjiao and his friends needed.
Zhang Rui's eyes lit up and he immediately started asking questions.
After asking this question, he found that the other party still had a lot of stock at home.
The stall owner patted his chest and assured: "If I don't have enough, my cousin still has some. Just tell me how much you want!"
Zhang Rui was overjoyed and asked, "Today and tomorrow, two hundred kilograms each day, is that possible?"
"Of course we do!" The stall owner laughed, "My cousin and I happen to have more than 200 kilograms each. It won't be long before we run out of them."
Zhang Rui relaxed greatly and rubbed the soft hair of his quiet daughter. As expected, things became much smoother with his daughter.
The two hit it off immediately and signed the contract. Because this person came at the right moment, Zhang Rui generously charged five more dollars as a thank you for this person who happened to show up. The stall owner thanked him for a long time. After all, five dollars is not a small amount of money.
However, having suffered a loss once, Zhang Rui repeatedly told the stall owner this time that this contract was truly legally binding and they would have to pay compensation if they breached the contract.
The man didn't really understand all this, and when he heard it was so serious, he immediately made a lot of promises, almost raising three fingers to the sky and swearing. He looked very fearful, but it was obvious that he was sincere enough.
Zhang Rui happily transported the things back on a cart, but found that Song Zhen had not come back yet, and the chef who went with Song Zhen was not there either. This made him realize that they had not finished their work yet.
Zhang Rui pulled Tianjiao and Xiaohe to bed: "You two should take a shower and go to bed first."
"Okay." Tianjiao was also very sleepy. She yawned and finished her shower. She staggered out of the bathroom and went to her room. Xiao He watched her silently along the way, fearing that she would fall to the ground. However, he was relieved after seeing the child reach the room safely and close the door, and then he went to take a shower.
He was also very sleepy.
Zhang Rui went to the original stall alone.
Professor Chen, who is in his fifties, is full of dignity. He wears glasses, a Zhongshan suit, and polished leather shoes. He looks completely different, not to mention that his words are full of legal provisions.
Professor Chen's powerful voice left the vendor speechless!
Zhang Rui had only been standing there for a few minutes when the vendor handed over the compensation money with trembling hands.
"It's my fault. I didn't realize it was so serious. Please don't blame me!" The vendor kept bowing and handed over the exact amount written on the contract.
Zhang Rui looked at him smiling apologetically, feeling helpless and sad, but he still accepted the money. It was better to spend money to avoid disaster. If he didn't accept it, this person might think that the contract was useless in the future.
After everyone left, the vendor collapsed to the ground, wiping the sweat off his face and saying with lingering fear: "I will never do such an immoral thing again. Not only did I not make any money, I also lost a sum of money and a batch of goods!"
His wife came out of the house holding the child only after everyone left. She glared at him angrily, "I told you not to do this at the beginning, but you didn't believe me. Now you are suffering the consequences! We didn't have much money in the first place, and we finally got a business like this, but you ruined it yourself..."
His wife's angry voice scolded him and he had a splitting headache. His face was filled with guilt and he couldn't refute her. He could only sit there in vain, full of regret. If he hadn't seen that the man gave him a lot of money, he wouldn't have done that.
