Song Liyun didn't even have a clear idea of the industry in Ruijin Town, so he hurriedly took over the hot potato Tianxiang Tower.
And I had no experience in managing a restaurant, so I suddenly felt like my head was as big as a bucket.
However, there are advantages to taking care of Tianxiang Tower first.
The shops in Ruijin Town will have to wait until after the autumn harvest to start construction. Now that I am idle, I am idle. It is impossible for me to really learn embroidery at home, so let's get started.
Everything in Tianxiang Building is fully prepared, and the business can be started as soon as the store is opened. Since I am only the shopkeeper, I just have the experience to learn from it.
So Song Liyun was ready to start a life of commuting to and from get off work, riding a horse from Suijin Town to Qili County to take care of business, and then returning home at night.
The health center is now full of people, and Tianxiang Tower is the business of the health center, so Luo Baihu asked Song Liyun to bring some people to the health center.
Song Liyun was traveling back and forth now, and she couldn't lack protection at home. She couldn't keep Han Ming and herself captive every day, so she directly ordered Zhou Xiaoqi, Zhou and Lin Xiaoqi.
Zhou Xiang and Lin Tao were small flag officers in the army, and each led a team of ten people.
These two people had the earliest relationship with the Song family, and they were also loyal people. Song Liyun felt trustworthy.
Zhou Xiang and Lin Tao were extremely happy when they heard that they were assigned to work with Song Liyun.
Although the guard station is now gradually replenishing its manpower, if the two people left behind may be promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief, the team of ten people under them will become fifty. In addition to meritorious service awards, the usual salary will also be increased from three hundred to five hundred.
.
When I was young and had no other options, becoming a soldier was the only way out.
Now they are twenty-seven or eighty years old. After spending ten years in the army, they have more things to consider. It is no longer a time for one person to have enough to eat and the whole family not to be hungry.
Marrying, having children, and raising parents all require money.
Song Liyun can make money. If you go around with her, you can also save some money early.
The two have already discussed that when the weather gets cooler and the autumn harvest is done at home, they will take their wife and children to live with them for a while.
If conditions are good in all aspects, they can simply become a military household and enjoy the life of a wife and children.
Luo Baihu allocated ten places to Song Liyun. Because they needed to be on duty in turns, Zhou Xiang and Lin Tao each took four people and divided them into two teams. One team went out and the other stayed behind. In this way, the Song family could be well protected both inside and outside.
Tianxiang Tower has been closed for more than three months, and finally there is news.
Seeing the government officials tearing off the seal of the store door and opening the dusty lock, people coming and going on the street stopped to watch. The crowds were crowded for a while, and the crowds were packed to three levels inside and three outside, and even the passing cars and horses had to make a detour.
.
Those idle men who were specially responsible for running errands and inquiring about all kinds of news quickly spread the news of the change of ownership of Tianxiang Tower to the ears of financial financiers everywhere.
Suddenly, undercurrents began to surge in some places.
When Song Liyun took Zhou Xiang and his party to Tianxiang Tower, he opened the store door and saw another scene.
The building had been sealed for a long time, and it was already covered with dust. Tables, chairs and benches were thrown on the ground because of the rude behavior of the government officials who sealed the building.
The grain, oil, rice and noodles in the kitchen had long been removed, and many good pots and pans were also lost.
The calligraphy and paintings on the wall are missing, and the decorative curtains are dirty. It would cost at least a thousand taels of silver to repair them and restore them to their original state.
Song Liyun's brows furrowed into a knot. She looked around inside and said angrily: "I'm just a shopkeeper, not a scapegoat. Who cares about this mess?"
She can't use money to make up for these losses. Besides, she currently has less than 300 taels of silver, so she can't make up for it even if she wants to.
Not to mention the guards, Luo Baihu and Wang Junqi were eagerly waiting for her to hand over the money.
With the upgrade of Broken Gold Guards, the number of soldiers increased from more than a hundred to a full strength of five hundred.
With a large number of people, the expenses are also high. Even if the Broken Gold Guards are doing better in the past few months, the Zhenbei Army has been in arrears with their salaries, and the new brothers are still short of money.
If Luo Baihu wants to win people's hearts, of course he should give money immediately, money!
"Let's go to the county government and see what Mr. Jiang has to say!"
"What do you want?"
After resting today, Jiang Fengren still met Song Liyun. When he heard Song Liyun complain that Tianxiang Tower had been reduced to a hollow by disaster, he remained calm.
"What can I do? Sir, this is what you said in court. Tianxiang Tower is now owned by the military camp and let civilian women manage it..."
Seeing Jiang Feng's indifferent expression, Song Liyun felt that she had been cheated, and became even more flustered.
Jiang Feng had no time to listen to her anymore and served tea to see the guests off: "Miss Song, what you have received is such a mess. What you can do with it is up to you.
Don’t forget, you, a woman from a military family, can take over a restaurant, that’s your destiny.
Managing a restaurant requires real skills, and you can't achieve it by just acting like you usually do."
Song Liyun's Qi is knotted.
Having said this, she didn't leave, but glanced straight into the back room.
Jiang Feng had already picked up the tea and took a sip. The black-faced boy came forward to chase him away. Song Liyun had no choice but to leave the county government office with only a mahogany box in his arms.
Jiang Feng looked at Song Liyun who left angrily, and frowned: The third young master said that he would give her three years of chance, and also said that this woman could accomplish big things... If she can't handle such a small thing, what can she do, compete with others?
And...what else is she looking for here? Is she looking for the Third Young Master?
The Third Young Master should go back to the town to take command of the Northern Army, as the Qing'an Prefecture can no longer handle it.
There was chaos on the border, and the opportunity for the Marquis of Zhenbei came, and so did the opportunity for the Prince.
After leaving the county government office, Song Liyun looked calm: Since everyone wants to give up their jobs, it will be easy to handle.
If you have money, you have money. If you don't have money, you have no money. You can do whatever you want.
When she returned to Tianxiang Building, the onlookers outside had dispersed, but there were seventeen or eighteen people, men, women, old and young, standing in the store. The tables, chairs and benches were still upside down beside them.
Seeing Song Liyun come back, the sergeant who stayed behind at the shop came forward and reported: "Miss Song, these are the former clerks from Tianxiang Tower and the old woman from Zaoshang. They are here to ask for the deed of return."
The dozen or so people also cheered and gathered around, each with anxious expressions on their faces: "Now that the owner has changed, our contract with Tianxiang Tower has become invalid."
"Yes, girl, please return the deed to us."
It turns out that when it was in Hong Jingtian's hands, everyone in Tianxiang Tower signed a ten-year contract, and the master in charge was not allowed to change jobs for life.
Tianxiang Tower's reputation was widespread, and as soon as Hong Jingtian collapsed, surrounding restaurants immediately came to poach people.
These chefs also looked for other options, but at that time their contracts had been seized by the government. Now that Tianxiang Tower is open, they want to come back and terminate the contracts and leave cleanly.
Song Liyun had no intention of leaving them alone, and this was what the tree fell and the hozen were talking about.
He is just a hired worker in Tianxiang Tower, and everyone has his own agenda. It is impossible to die trapped in this place.
However, these people had this attitude on the first day back at Tianxiang Tower, which made her feel very unhappy.
