Chapter 250: Third sister buys
a house Suifeng Hotel.
After dealing with Bu Dashi's blind date, Deng Yuntai came to report to his father about the huge order he had received from the county bicycle parts factory two days ago.
After listening to his eldest son's report, Deng Shirong was also quite surprised. The 68-yuan luxury set menu for 27 tables was indeed the largest business their restaurant had received since it opened. He immediately asked, "Have you told Uncle Zhang about hiring temporary staff?"
Deng Yuntai nodded and said, "Yes, I told Uncle Zhang the same afternoon I received this order."
Deng Shirong asked again: "You asked Uncle Zhang to find you a few temporary employees?"
Deng Yuntai said: "The first banquet our restaurant took was a high-end set menu of 16 tables for 38 yuan. At that time, with the help of Yunheng, Ah Zhu, Xiaosong, Xiaohua and others, we could barely handle the banquet.
Now that Yunheng and the others are not here, there are 11 more tables for the banquet, and it is a luxurious set menu, so a lot more manpower is needed than last time.
So, I asked Uncle Zhang to help me find four kitchen assistants and twelve waiters. "
Deng Shirong thought about it, nodded with a smile, and praised: "Not bad, very thoughtful. With so many temporary employees plus our hotel's own employees, we can basically fight this tough battle."
Deng Yuntai was very happy to get his father's approval and said, "After this business, I estimate that there will be more than a thousand yuan in profit, which is almost catching up with the profit of the previous month."
Deng Shirong said: "This is a very normal thing. I have told you before that if our hotel is so big and we only rely on individual customers, it will probably take more than ten years to make back the investment.
However, if I could take on more banquets, the speed at which I could make money would be different.
Nowadays, most people still choose to hold weddings, full-month celebrations or birthday celebrations at home. However, with the development of the new era and more and more wealthy people, everyone's concepts will slowly change, and these banquets will gradually move from home to hotels.
Imagine if a bicycle parts factory could hold more than a dozen banquets a month, how much money would it make? "
Deng Yuntai was shocked when he heard this. Their restaurant had been open for more than two months, and they had only hosted two banquets, which means less than one banquet a month on average. If it was true as his father said, and they could host more than a dozen such banquets a month, then the restaurant would definitely make a lot of money.
However, can such a rare banquet really be held more than ten times a month? ...
It was a rare opportunity for my third sister and her husband to come to the county town, so Deng Shirong naturally wanted to keep them for a few more days and let them have a good look around the county town, so that they could brag to the gossips in the village after they returned.
Otherwise, you would come to the county town once, and then when you go back, the gossipy women in the village would ask you questions and you would find that you know nothing about anything. That would be meaningless.
When Deng Shirong was taking them shopping, he thought of what he had said at Liu Aihong's house before, and said to his third sister and brother-in-law, "Third sister, brother-in-law, Dashi will soon get married. He is helping me with work in the county town, and he will definitely live in the county town after he gets married.
Although I have a place to live there, it is still inconvenient not having my own house.
Not to mention anything else, if his wife's relatives come and you can't even arrange a place for them to stay, then no matter how well you do in the county, no one will believe you!
So, I think you can take this opportunity to buy him a house in the county town, so that Dashi can have a home in the county town, and no matter which relatives come to visit, they will have a place to stay. Third sister and third brother-in-law, what do you think?"
"Brother, you have a point."
Deng Shilan first confirmed it, then said, "But houses in the county should be very expensive, right? We are planning to build a new house in our hometown, and I am afraid we don't have the spare money to buy a house in the county."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Third sister, don't worry. Houses in the county town are not that expensive. Houses with good locations are more expensive, but houses that are slightly off the beaten track are not that valuable. You can get one for a few hundred yuan.
As for the money, you don't have to pay, just think of it as a wedding gift from me, the uncle, to my nephew."
Deng Shilan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "How can this be possible? You still owe a lot of debt to the credit union. How can you let your uncle take out so much money to buy him a house?"
Bu Erzhu also quickly refused, "Yes, we can't do it this way. At worst, we can just not build the house in our hometown first and buy him a house in the county first."
Deng Shirong waved his hands and said, "Third sister, third brother-in-law, you don't have to worry about me. The restaurant business is pretty good now. Besides, I owe so much money, it doesn't make any difference to me whether I have these few hundred dollars or not."
That’s what they said, but Deng Shilan and Bu Erzhu both firmly refused.
Finally, Deng Shirong could only take a step back and said, "How about this, I'll use Dashi's salary to cover part of it, and I, as your uncle, will be responsible for the rest. In this way, you three sisters and your husbands should stop refusing. It would be really awkward if you continue to refuse."
Having said that, Deng Shilan and Bu Erzhu really couldn't refuse any longer.
Deng Shilan said with emotion: "They are so lucky to have an uncle like you who takes care of them in their previous lives."
…
Since they were not picky about the location, Deng Shirong, along with his third sister and brother-in-law, quickly set their eyes on a house in the south city.
This house is also made of bricks and tiles. It has a total of three rooms plus a toilet which is only three or four square meters in size. The toilet is on the right side of the house. The area of the room on the left is larger than the other two. It is a combination of a living room and a kitchen.
There is a yard in front of the house, which is about 40 square meters. The owner of the house has opened up a vegetable garden on the right side of the garden, where he grows water spinach, onions, garlic and the like. There is also a small chicken coop next to the vegetable garden.
The house and the yard are about 100 square meters, and the price is not expensive for Deng Shirong. Including the land, it is only more than 1,500 yuan.
Of course, this price is already a sky-high price for Deng Shilan and Bu Erzhu.
In fact, what they first set their eyes on was a tube-shaped building of only a few dozen square meters, and the price was relatively reasonable, only a few hundred yuan.
But Deng Shirong convinced them with one sentence: "Third sister, third brother-in-law, the house in the tube building is cheaper and the location is better than here, but the house here is sold together with the land. When we have money in the future, we can completely demolish the house and rebuild it. This is a foundation that can be passed down forever, which is completely different from the house in the tube building."
The importance that rural people attach to the foundation cannot be compared to that to the fields.
The simplest example is that if someone in the village has part of his land occupied by someone else, it is just a simple quarrel and usually won't cause any big trouble.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, once the foundation of a house is occupied, not to mention being occupied by outsiders, even if it is a brother from the same mother, if he dares to occupy a few more square meters when building a house, there will be a big fight, even to the point of using knives and guns.
Not to mention far away, even in Bobai County, there are too many examples of brothers turning against each other and killing each other because of land.
Therefore, rural people really attach great importance to the foundation.
This is also the main reason why Deng Shirong easily convinced his third sister and brother-in-law.
However, the original plan was to buy a house for a few hundred dollars, but the plan could not keep up with the changes, and it became necessary to buy a house for more than fifteen hundred dollars, which was a huge overspending, and in the end I had to ask my younger brother for money.
Of course, Deng Shilan solemnly stated that this money was borrowed on behalf of her eldest son, and would be slowly deducted from his salary later.
Deng Shirong did not refute this. He would give his nephew a big red envelope at the end of the year, promote him to be the second chef of the restaurant next year, and give him a salary increase. Naturally, the more than 1,500 yuan would be paid off in no time.
After buying the house, Deng Shilan and Bu Erzhu were also very happy. After all, from this moment on, their family had their own house in the county town and they were real city people, which was better than 99% of the families in the village.
The three of them decided to buy the house without notifying Bu Dashi.
After completing the formalities, Deng Shilan told his eldest son about it, and finally said: "The money for buying the house was paid by your uncle, and it will be deducted from your salary slowly later. From now on, our family will have a house in the county town!"
Bu Dashi was stunned. He quickly found his uncle and said, "Uncle, you haven't bought a house in the county yourself, why did you buy one for me first?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Who said I didn't buy it? I have already bought the house we live in now."
When I first bought the house, I didn't want to be so high-profile, so I said I rented it. But now that I have invested so much money in opening a restaurant, it is already high-profile enough, and there is naturally no need to hide the fact that I bought a house in the county town.
Bu Dashi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this and said, "That's not bad. If you didn't buy a house yourself and then spent money to buy one for me, I wouldn't feel at ease living there."
Deng Shirong couldn't help but remind him, "The location of the house is a bit remote. I bought it just so you can have your own home in the county, but you should live with me first. It's safer to live with more people because the county is quite chaotic now. I'm worried about you and your wife living there later."
Bu Dashi has also lived in the county for more than two months, so he naturally knows what the current situation in the county is. Although their restaurant has always been calm and no one comes here to cause trouble, it is because old man Zhang Guangzong is in charge.
Moreover, where they lived was not far from the hotel, and they walked together to and from get off work, taking the government road, so naturally they were always safe.
But if he and his future wife lived alone in a remote house in the south of the city, their safety could not be guaranteed.
So, hearing what his uncle said, Bu Dashi nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, uncle. Let's leave the house over there empty for the time being. If there are relatives coming over, they can be arranged to stay there temporarily. I will still live here."
