Chapter 6 Entrepreneurship

Three days passed by. I have done nothing in the past three days. Except for studying recipes, I have reviewed the dishes, but I have made great progress.

Yan Yingchen didn't say anything big. He came to me early the morning of the fourth day and said that he would take me to see the shop. So I changed into men's clothing to make it easier for me to walk on the street and talk about business.

Yan Yingchen took me out of the main gate of Yan Mansion for the first time. This Yan Mansion is really elegant. In contrast, our backyard is simply a slum.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave the gate of Yanfu, a charming voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Yingchen, Nianqing, are you going out again this early?"

Turning around, a gorgeous woman was standing behind us. There were still two arrogant little girls standing beside her, looking at me with disdainful faces.

"Sanniang, good morning." Yan Yingchen jumped out these three words stiffly.

It seems that I guessed right. It's really the third lady. I just don't know the beauty of this three husband's life, why his daughter is so mediocre.

"Nianqing, why don't you even know the etiquette when you haven't seen each other for a few days?" It seems that she really has a lot to do.

"It's Nianqing's negligence. Please forgive Sanniang." I'm in a hurry to go out and don't have time to talk nonsense with her.

"Where are you going?" There are a lot of things I want to know.

I was about to speak, but I heard Yan Yingchen say, "Nianqing has just recovered from a serious illness, and I will take her out for a walk. Presumably Sanniang has something else to do, so we won't waste your time.

After saying that, he took me out of the door without looking at the third lady behind him.

The shop found by Yan Yingchen was also a restaurant, but the business was bleak and there were few customers.

The restaurant is called Fuju, and the shopkeeper Fubo looks like he is in his early 50s. After a few words, I feel kind and kind.

Fubo said that the restaurant has been running for several years and its business has been bad. Now he can't hold on any longer, so he wants to sell it.

Fubo took me and Yan Yingchen inside and outside, so that we can have a clear idea.

Standing outside the store, Yan Yingchen said, "I came to see this store two days ago. The price and location are not bad, but the store still needs to be repaired. What do you think?"

"Well, the price here is really cheap. As for the location, although it is not on the main street, there are many merchants. There has been a sluggish here. First, it is a business problem, and secondly, it has no characteristics. Third, I'm afraid this store is too old to be noticed.

"That's true." Yan Yingchen nodded with approval.

"I still have an unreciable invitation. I don't know if my brother can agree?"

"But it doesn't matter."

"I want Fubo to stay in the store and continue to be a shopkeeper."

"If you don't tell me, I will also mention it to you. You and I can't be in the shop every day. We need a trustworthy person here to help take care of it." Yan Yingchen paused for a moment and then said, "Besides, this store is yours. You don't need to ask me about these things. You can make your own decisions. I'm just your advisor."

Welcome to Yan Yingchen's warm eyes, "How can that be? Since this store is open, it is the two of me and my brother. I don't know if my brother is willing to be the big head?

Yan Yingchen didn't say anything, but just walked forward first. I didn't use any mobility tools when I came out today. I think it was also arranged by Yan Yingchen and wanted me to walk outside more.

It's been a day. Back in my garden, Ziqin has prepared meals, all of which are the dishes I have taught hand in the past few days.

Ziqin is clever, learns several dishes well, and tastes very good.

After dinner, I asked Ziqin if I had any money. I didn't give any hope. Who would have expected that Ziqin would take out a box from under the bed.

Open the box and have a look. Although there is not much silver, there is also a lot of jewelry. After calculation, it is basically enough for the early expenses of the shop. Recalling that when he and Yan Yingchen were shopping outside today, I asked him if he had money to lay down the shop and decorate the store. He just said the three words "don't worry" indifferently, and I was a little uneasy.

is my only moth, and I can't let Yan Yingchen pay and work hard. I sit aside and enjoy the success. So he came back to ask Ziqin for the money.

I didn't care if it was too late to get the money, so I hurriedly sent it to Yan Yingchen.

Yan Yingchen didn't doubt when he got the money and didn't ask me where I came from. He just said lightly, "Finally, I still used it."

Before going to bed at night, I asked Ziqin about the money. Ziqin said that she only knew that part of it was left by my mother, while the other part was put in the snack box every time she came back from the palace.

Yunfei? Yan Xiu's sister, why did she give me money?

The Yan family seems to be a fog, and too many things are difficult to see.

I put down the things that I couldn't think of, and planned to renovate the shop and invite staff in my heart, and then slowly fell asleep.

I was woken up by Ziqin in the morning and said that Yan Yingchen had been waiting outside.

I hurriedly took care of it, changed into men's clothing, and went out again with Yan Yingchen without even having breakfast.

When you arrive at Fuju, negotiate the price with Fubo and sign a formality, even if the store is closed.

After looking at the shop inside and outside, Yan Yingchen and Fubo and I stood in front of the main door of Laifuju and pointed to the dilapidated facade with only two doors and said, "This face is one of the keys to attract customers. Both the old doors and the windows on the other side should be removed and replaced with four large doors. We are open-door business, and we can't let people look stingy. And this sign,"

I looked up and pointed to the mottled "Comefuju" sign above, "This must be replaced and order a new one, and I plan to change the name, called Qianwei Pavilion. I don't know what you think?"

Yan Yingchen smiled and said, "Qianwei Pavilion is a good name." Fubo also agreed.

As soon as I saw that they had no objection, I continued to say, "I still want to be here on both sides of the four doors, which are the two ends," I walked over and drew with my hand. "I also hung the sign of Qianwei Pavilion, so that passers-by can easily see it."

We walked into the house and went up to the second floor. I said to Yan Yingchen, "Brother, please find some craftsmen. I want to divide the good view by the window into a single room. Customers who want to come here will charge more. We named these single rooms and decorated them in different styles. We can do this part by ourselves and save some money.

"And these windows, if you can make them bigger, we'd better make them bigger, so that people will sit in it comfortably. As for some small tables, chairs and benches, we can save. If it's not old, just renovate it. Don't take what's really old. Stay here. I'm useful.

Almost finished speaking, I sat down to fish for water, but accidentally bumped into Yan Yingchen's exploratory eyes.

I raised my eyebrows and said to him, "Brother, what do you want to ask?"

Yan Yingchen smiled brightly and shook his head.

"One more thing, when we decorate the store, we also need to recruit cooks, food spreaders, and handymen at the same time." I stopped for a moment, and I don't know if they can understand my mixed words, but seeing that they didn't ask anything, I guess they understand.

"This dish must be clever. As for the chef, my requirements are relatively high. Fubo, do you have any recommended candidates?"

Fubo hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a nephew named Fuquan, who is good at cooking. Do you want to meet the third son?"

After pondering, I asked Fubo, "Was he a chef who came to Fuju before?"

"No, I always wanted him to get a reputation in the past. But this child is not competitive and has always been thinking about cooking. He cooks good dishes, but he doesn't read much. Now that he is not young, I think I have to let him do something.

So that's it. "Then let him come here and cook a few dishes for me."

"Thank you, son. I'll come to him right away." The Fubo family lives in the yard behind Laifuju.

In a short time, Fubo came in with Fuquan.

With a slight view, Fuquan's black face, strong body and simple smile revealed his simple heart.

I didn't say much nonsense. After saying hello, I asked Fuquan to prepare lunch. This person is the same as I am in modern times, three meals a day, not two meals a day.

In less than half an hour, Fuquan served the meal, a standard four dishes and one soup.

I picked up and tasted every dish. Although it still can't meet my requirements, it is already very good for this country, which can be seen from Fubo's expression. It seems that Fuquan is indeed a plastic talent, so he has a plan in his heart.

Seeing that I suddenly clapped my hands and stood up, three people looked at me with six eyes.

I smiled calmly: "Do you mind if I add a few more dishes for everyone? Fuquan, come to the kitchen with me.

When I arrived at the kitchen, I asked Fuquan not to do anything, just stood by and watched. Then I took the pot to add water and picked a few more materials.

Time is tight today, so I'm going to do a few good and simple things at will. Braised square meat, white mustard, stir-fried kidney flowers, Mapo tofu, and a West Lake beef soup. It's light, salty and spicy.

After finishing it, I put out a little bit of everything. Give it to Fuquan, who has already seen it around him, and let him taste it.

After Fuquan tasted everything, the surprise and admiration on his face became deeper and deeper. As soon as the time came, I said, "Fuquan, would you like to learn to cook with me?"

After hearing this, Fuquan was stunned and nodded vigorously and said, "If you are willing, Fuquan can't ask for it."

I asked Fuquan to take out the dishes for everyone to eat, and Fuquan looked happy.

Seeing this, Fubo asked Fuquan. Fuquan talked about the whole story. Fubo's face was full of joy and he was about to salute me.

I hurriedly grabbed Fubo and said, "This is all Fuquan's talent. If you work hard in the future, you will definitely succeed."

After dinner, I wrote some recipes for Fuquan to study hard, and I checked it five days later.

Qianweiju is preparing for all kinds of matters. Yan Yingchen and I have been busy these two days. Later, we simply brought Ziqin out to help.

Because Qianweiju was originally a restaurant, there are not many places that need to be changed, but the doors and windows were changed according to my idea, and the elegant room was separated. The rest of the details are all handled by Yan Yingchen, and I have to sigh with this man's carefulness.

I was busy for almost four or five days and urged the craftsmen to finish the big work, and the rest was our own business.

During this period, Ziqin and I were not even idle at night. We used silk and yarn to make some green leaves and flowers. Although the cost is relatively high, the effect is very good, and it is prepared to be used in the elegant room.

I asked the craftsman to take apart the old tables and chairs and make them into thick and thin pieces. It feels a little better to put the floor of an elegant room and spread these irregular wooden blocks on it.

There are four elegant rooms. The Mediterranean style is called "sea breeze gust", and the garden path style is called "curved path". The flowers and green leaves made by Ziqin and I are used here. There are also two, one is called "splashing ink landscape" and the other is called "dream paradise".

I drew the walls of these four elegant rooms by myself. In the past, when I was in school, I learned wall painting from people in order to have fun, but I didn't want to use it here.

In addition, I distributed a large number of leaflets to let people in the streets know that our Qianwei Pavilion is going to open, and there are preferential activities.

When the hardware was almost ready to stop, on the fifth day, Fubo brought the people he found to let me see. As for the people who work in the kitchen, Fuquan himself has already found it, and it is said that they are all his "fan friends".

Picked around, asked them a few common sense questions, and sent away three, leaving the remaining eight.

arranged two smart foreman to deal with some small matters. I found two easy-to-use dishes, which is more important. You must be clear-headed, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes. The remaining two people served the dishes, and the two cleaned up the table and other hygiene.

Tell them clearly what they are responsible for, and I will focus on telling the two foreman that they also have to work, such as delivering vegetables, serve food, and hygiene. If you need it, you have to come and help. I can't have a sense of superiority here. I should treat my colleagues like a family and treat guests politely.

That day, Fuquan also brought the results of his hard practice for me to taste. It really tastes good, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Thinking about it, he doesn't seem to be very familiar with the materials and needs to be more proficient.

After these days of hard work, Qianwei Pavilion is finally about to open. I'm so happy that I'm going to be the boss for the first time in my life.

I couldn't sleep happily at night, so I played my basket in the yard. Although I'm tired these days, I haven't missed a day of my practice. Now I have made small achievements and can play the next song smoothly.

That day, he rose up for a while for Yan Yingchen. He stroked his palm and said that my confidence increased greatly.

I went around excitedly all night and finally waited until the next day.

After grooming, Yan Yingchen and I took Ziqin and Yan Fu to Qianwei Pavilion. When we arrived, Fubo had already prepared everything with everyone.

A big sign stands in front of the Qianwei Pavilion: For the opening reward, all customers who consume in Qianwei Pavilion can get a sweet soup and enjoy a 5% discount.

This is an official opening. Two days ago, I asked Yan Fu to book a band and a lion dance team to warm up and attract customers for us today.

Yan Yingchen asked Yan Fu to take two people to continue to distribute leaflets, and we stayed in the store to greet the customers who had already come.

After more than an hour, the number of guests in the store gradually increased. Because today is the first day, I'm afraid that Fuquan can't do it alone, and I also want to bring Fuquan again, so I've been busy in the kitchen.

There are more and more guests, which is estimated to be attracted by the promotion. Fuquan and I are so busy that we are about to fly, but fortunately, the young man who serves dishes outside is smart enough not to mess up.

When I was very busy, Yan Yingchen suddenly walked into the kitchen and asked me to go out to meet someone.

I wanted to refuse, but I thought that Yan Yingchen could call me at this time. It seemed that the people who came were quite important. I turned around and handed over the vegetable pot in my hand to Fuquan, and I went out with Yan Yingchen.

So, on the day my store Qianwei Pavilion opened, I finally met Nangong Li, the man who was deeply related to my fate.
