Chapter 236 Buying a restaurant! ! !
Chang'an East City.
Zhuang Zhou had long heard from Ma San that Dongshi was the place most frequently visited by dignitaries in Kyoto.
Now he comes to Dongshi.
Seeing is believing.
As expected, rich people wearing gold and silver can be seen everywhere in Dongshi.
There is also the rich man who walks the bird.
In terms of the number of people, the East Market is indeed much more prosperous than the West Market.
Zhuang Zhou asked all the way and finally came to Pingkangfang.
Soon I found out the location of Sihai Restaurant.
Arrive in front of the restaurant.
Sure enough, I saw a notice posted on the wall.
Sihai Restaurant is for sale.
Zhuang Zhou parked his motorcycle, carried his satchel, and walked directly into the restaurant.
The restaurant was empty.
The tables, chairs and benches are all neatly arranged.
It seems that it has been closed for several days.
Zhuang Zhou glanced around and saw that this restaurant was quite big.
The lobby can accommodate about ten tables.
There is also a loft on the second floor.
and.
This seems to be a good location.
Zhuang Zhou didn't know why the restaurant was for sale.
If only I could buy it myself.
In the future, I will get the condiment recipes and dishes from later generations.
It is estimated that there will be a big market.
On this point, Zhuang Zhou is still very confident.
So he asked directly:
"Excuse me, is the shopkeeper here?"
After shouting several times, a middle-aged man came out.
As soon as he saw Zhuang Zhou, he opened his mouth and said:
"Sir, I'm really sorry. Our restaurant is temporarily closed. You have to find another place to eat!"
"I won't eat."
Zhuang Zhou did not hesitate and went straight to the topic and said:
"I saw the notice posted on your door. Is this restaurant for sale?"
"Yes! What's wrong? Do you want to buy it?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Zhuang Zhou, obviously not thinking that Zhuang Zhou could afford it.
"Yes, I just want to buy it."
"Sir, this restaurant is not cheap, isn't it?"
"Nothing, can you give me a price?"
When the middle-aged man saw Zhuang Zhou being so generous, his attitude softened a lot:
"I'm just the shopkeeper, this restaurant belongs to the owner, and the price is 1,800 guan."
Now Zhuang Zhou also has a deeper understanding of the monetary system of this era.
One thousand eight hundred strings is indeed a lot.
But now the daily turnover of grocery stores can reach an average of 100 yuan.
This little money doesn't seem to be too much.
So he agreed immediately:
"Okay! Call your boss over. I'll buy this restaurant."
The middle-aged man looked at Zhuang Zhou with surprise.
How could a young master from a well-known family come from such a arrogant and arrogant position!
One thousand eight hundred guan, not even a counter-offer.
I agreed immediately.
"Sir, I'll go and invite my boss later."
Zhuang Zhou hummed and suddenly asked:
"You just said you were the manager of this restaurant, right?"
"Yes, I am the shopkeeper of Sihai Restaurant."
"Oh, what's your last name?"
"My surname is Zhao, and my full name is Zhao Facai."
Zhuang Zhou immediately gave a thumbs up:
"What a name!"
"Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and invite my boss."
Zhuang Zhou pulled up a stool and sat down.
Not long after.
Zhao Facai led an old man out.
Once introduced, I found out that this old man was the owner of Sihai Restaurant.
Because I am getting older, I plan to return to my hometown for retirement.
That's why we are preparing to sell Sihai Restaurant.
When I saw that Zhuang Zhou was a young man, he was very generous with his actions.
The two quickly reached an agreement.
Finally, Zhao Facai took out the sales contract that had been prepared.
Then I heard my old boss say kindly:
"Master Zhuang, after signing this sales contract and filing it at the Yamen, this restaurant will be yours. Do you want to look around again?"
"What? Is there anything else wrong with this restaurant?"
"No, I mean, after all, you spent so much money, you should take a closer look."
Zhuang Zhou waved his hand and said:
"Then there's no need to read. I believe you... By the way, can I pay you gold?"
"It's a dream come true!"
So the two signed a sales contract.
Zhuang Zhou went back to the grocery store and took out one hundred taels of gold.
This stuff was all hard currency in that era.
Especially for those who travel far.
Gold is even easier to carry.
of course.
Don't meet bandits and robbers.
But this has nothing to do with Zhuang Zhou.
The remaining eight hundred strings were paid in copper coins.
After finishing their work, these old bosses asked Zhao Facai to go to the Yamen to register.
And he was drinking tea and chatting with Zhuang Zhou.
After the two chatted for a while, the old boss found out that the young master was actually the Nanyang merchant in the West Market.
From this I admired him even more.
When Zhao Facai came back, he handed the contract document to Zhuang Zhou.
"Mr. Zhuang, the contract document has been filed with the Yamen, and it has been officially completed and effective."
"sorry to bother you!"
"It's no trouble. I have to do this kind of errands in person so I can rest assured."
Zhuang Zhou hummed, seeing that Zhao Facai was a pretty good guy and had rules for doing things.
I think this person can stay.
"By the way, what are shopkeeper Zhao's next plans?"
Zhao Facai sighed and said:
"If you have any plans, let's see and go!"
"How about this!"
Zhuang Zhou looked at Zhao Facai at this time and said:
"Shopkeeper Zhao, why don't you stay and work with me, and I'll let you be the shopkeeper?"
Zhao Facai thought he heard wrongly:
"Mr. Zhuang, what about your own shopkeeper?"
In Zhao Facai's view, anyone who opens a restaurant.
Each will have its own original cast.
Especially for the shopkeeper, he will only use people he trusts.
But how did Zhao Facai know that Zhuang Zhou just acted on a whim?
I just bought this restaurant.
Not only does he have no one under him, he doesn't even know anything about restaurant management.
"You don't have to worry about this."
Zhuang Zhou didn’t say much:
"In addition, how about keeping all the old waiters in the restaurant to prevent them from going out to find jobs and leaving them to you to manage?"
Zhao's fortune is like a blessing from heaven.
How difficult is the employment environment in Chang'an now?
How hard it is to find a job!
Especially middle-aged and elderly managers like them.
It is even more difficult to find a job.
In the past few days, he has asked several restaurants to apply for the position of shopkeeper.
But where can anyone use him?
Zhao Facai was ready to go back to the countryside to farm.
Now Zhuang Zhou also lets him be the shopkeeper.
What else can you say!
Hurry up and recognize your boss!
then.
Zhao Facai bowed his head heavily and said:
"Mr. Zhuang is really a kind person. Don't worry, I will take good care of the restaurant in the future."
Zhuang Zhou was also very satisfied and said with a smile:
"Then go and gather everyone together, and I'll meet with the big guys."
Not long after.
The guys from Sihai Restaurant all gathered together.
Zhao Facai said:
"Dragon Master Zhuang's family, except for the two waiters who have left, the rest are all here."
Zhuang Zhou took a look and saw that there were nine people left, all young people.
"You all listen carefully. The current owner of Sihai Restaurant is this young master. If you are willing to stay and work, you can work hard with the Zhuang family. Everyone, please make a statement, right?"
As soon as Zhao Facai finished speaking.
An older man actually knelt down with a plop:
"Master Zhuang, I am willing to follow you and work hard."
Zhuang Zhou: "..."
