"Young Master, these are the account books for the past few months. I have checked them and there is no problem. Please take a look." Manager An handed several thick account books to Gu Beijian.
Gu Beijian took it, opened it and took a closer look, "Manager An, you said there's nothing wrong, but why are we selling so few dishes?"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper An lowered his head and said, "Everyone, everyone thinks that the dishes at Yihuchun are not as delicious as those at another restaurant. I have asked the chefs in the kitchen to improve the dishes, but the results are minimal."
Gu Beijian sighed and said, "If it weren't for the good wine we brewed, a restaurant as big as mine would have closed down..." Gu Beijian stared at Manager An and said.
Shopkeeper An wiped the sweat from his forehead. This young master is usually so carefree, but when he gets serious, he's a little scary. Suddenly, he misses the carefree young master.
"Young Master, I heard that the new Yi Ji Food Stall is delicious and affordable. We can seek cooperation with them. In this way, whether we buy ready-made products or directly buy out their recipes in one go, I think it is suitable and beneficial to the operation of our restaurant." Manager An immediately proposed a solution.
"Okay, you are old..." Gu Beijian looked at him and said this.
Shopkeeper An stepped forward quickly and said, "No, no, no, young master, I'm still young and capable. I don't want to leave..."
Gu Beijian saw that he was afraid of this and laughed out loud, "When did I say I wanted to kick you out? I just said that Manager An, you are old and not suitable for running around, so I will go on this trip for you."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper An sighed and said, "Young Master, can you please stop panting when you speak next time? You scared me to death. I thought I was going to lose my job!"
Gu Beijian laughed out loud after hearing this. "Life is boring, so let's find some fun. But jokes aside, you have to run this restaurant well and don't make it bankrupt, otherwise I will hold you accountable." He was still laughing in the last second, and spoke to him seriously in the next second.
Manager An agreed.
…
Yi Yami was just about to close the stall when he saw a young man in sky blue clothes, followed by several men in black. One of them he had met before. He was the customer who insisted on buying ten kilograms of food.
The other party was in high spirits, walking with the wind, and a jade pendant with a dragon pattern hung around his waist.
Seeing the other party walking towards him, Yi Yami paused and said with a smile, "Dear guest, we are closed. Today's portion has been sold out. If you want to buy, you have to wait until tomorrow."
Gu Beijian listened to Yi Yami's unique voice and looked at her attire: two sleek pigtails, a blue and white floral headscarf, and a dark blue cloth dress with rolled-up sleeves, revealing two white arms. Her eyes were fixed on him. Her appearance wasn't stunning, but she was the type of girl from a small family. After taking a good look at her, he smiled and replied, "Miss Yi, I'm not here to buy braised food, but to discuss business with you."
Yi Yami felt a little unhappy when she saw the other party looking at her. But when she heard that he wanted to do business with her, her unhappiness dissipated a little. Yi Yami then asked, "What business does this customer want to do with me?"
"This is not a place to talk. Why don't we go to your house and talk?" Gu Beijian looked at the crowd on both sides, took a step closer and said.
Yi Yami looked around. There were indeed a lot of people around, but why did this man want to follow them home right away? Was she overthinking it? She felt like he was very interested in her.
"Okay, but we have to clean up, so this customer needs to wait a moment." Yi Yami explained and prepared to continue cleaning up the stall with Yi Laoer and Yi Xiaomai.
Gu Beijian waved his hand, and the men in black moved out. "Miss Xiaoyi, I have many men, so it will be faster if I let them do it."
The Yi family members were stunned. Yi Yami looked at the well-trained and nimble man in black and could not stop him, so she said, "Thank you very much, sir. I don't know what your name is?"
"Gu Beijian, the young master of Yihuchun." Gu Beijian looked at Yi Yami with watery eyes and spoke softly.
"Oh, Young Master, nice to meet you!" Yiyami clasped his fists.
Gu Beijian laughed out loud when he saw her like this, "You are really interesting!"
Yi Yami was puzzled. “Huh?”
After a while, everything was packed up, and Yi Lao Er was about to carry the shoulder pole, but Tian Qing took it from him and said, "Uncle, I'll do it. You and little brother just go ahead."
Yi Lao Er was at a loss.
Seeing this, Yi Yami had no choice but to say, "Dad, it's okay. He's young, let him carry it, and you can take a rest."
Gu Beijian had originally wanted to get the three of them on the carriage, but they were walking towards the town entrance. "Hey, Miss Xiaoyi, you guys, aren't planning on walking back?"
"Huh? How could that be? It will take a long time to walk back. Uncle Ma is waiting for us at the town entrance. We will go back in an ox cart. Sir, do you want to ride with us or go by yourself?" Yiyami explained and asked him how to go.
Gu Beijian was about to say he was going to take a carriage, but then he thought about the purpose of coming here, so he smiled and said, "Of course, I'm going to be with Miss Xiaoyi."
The jar was placed on the ox cart. Yi Laoer and Yi Xiaomai sat down. Then Yi Yami sat down and looked at Gu Beijian who was in a daze.
"What's wrong, Young Master?" Yi Yami asked.
"Can we sit on this?" Gu Beijian was puzzled. This ox cart was just a bullock with two wooden wheels at the back. A wooden board was placed on the crossbeam of the wooden wheels. It was exposed to the air and there was not even a place to sit. People sat on the side. There was an upright wooden board on the side to ensure that people did not fall off, but the safety factor was also very low.
"Sure, you can do this like my father and younger brother, sitting sideways." Yi Yami pointed at Yi Laoer and Yi Xiaomai.
