"No one can say otherwise, but in my opinion, he deserves to be beaten. If the business is not doing well, he has to follow these big bosses to do something.
What's the result? I think it's hard for him to close the door for two days, find someone to negotiate a deal with, and start the business as soon as the money is paid!"
"I don't think it's so easy this time. What happened in Jinxi Building before? Fortunately, we managed to get rid of a chef?"
"Oh! By the way, just because Gao Li said Tianxianglou learned his craft, it turned out to be nothing!"
Several people were talking so much that Song Liyun frowned slightly.
Seizing several restaurants at the same time is not something Jiang Feng is capable of.
That guy is used to doing dirty tricks, so there won't be such a big movement.
Song Liyun's appearance caused a bit of a stir in the crowd. Many people looked at her and whispered among themselves.
But Song Liyun looked calm, as if he didn't see Huang Changsheng, who was being taken out of the restaurant and arguing with the county magistrate, and just walked through the long street by himself.
As soon as he arrived at Tianxiang Tower, Song Liyun's calm expression immediately lost its composure.
She left Sun Wencheng, who was enjoying himself and wanted to report the news to her, and hurriedly found Lin Tao and Zhou Xiang who were counting various vegetables in the warehouse.
"Brother Lin, what happened to Jinxi Building and Zuichun Building? Why are the government sealing them down? Don't bring us any trouble!"
With a smile on his face, Lin Tao slowly counted the fresh muttons and registered them in the register.
Zhou Xiang curled his lips and said: "The closure of Jinxi Building has nothing to do with us.
The county magistrate of Shijiang found out that they had never paid taxes in recent years.
In particular, Shen Leyan, as the leader of the kitchen guild, took the lead in tax evasion, which seriously affected the catering, grain and oil market in Qili County. They have to make up all the taxes for six years in half a month before they can reopen their business."
tax evasion?
Song Liyun couldn't help but chuckle. She believed that Shen Leyan and the others had paid taxes, and quite a lot.
It's just that there was no county magistrate in Qili County before, so all the official documents were a mess. The tax collectors would embezzle the money they received, and there was no telling what would be done in the account books.
Fortunately, Magistrate Jiang was able to dig out the savings from many years ago and sort out the bad debts.
Since it is the government that is dealing with old matters, it has nothing to do with me.
Song Liyun put these things behind him and began to help Lin Tao organize supplies.
Now I want to ask who has the most mutton and beef in Qili County, of course Tianxianglou.
The store has opened a window specifically to solve the problem of mutton sales.
Song Liyun went to Wanchun Leather Goods Store again and handed the backpack drawings to Shopkeeper Wan.
Shopkeeper Wan knew that this was his treasure, so he found a beautiful wooden box and put it in it. He took out a copper key and said to Song Liyun: "The house manager has found the house that the girl wants to rent. It is on the West Fourth Lane of Fucheng East Street."
Three.
The main house has a side courtyard, two main rooms and three side rooms, with a corner door for separate entry and exit.
There is furniture in the courtyard, so if the girl only stays there occasionally, there is no need to add any more."
In fact, the Wan family has shops and a big house in Fucheng, where members of the Wan family live, and every time Wan Da, the manager, goes there to rest.
Knowing that Song Liyun was going, Manager Wan Da specially cleaned up the yard for her and prepared two maids.
But Song Liyun wants to rent a house.
Facing the confused shopkeeper Wan Shan, Song Liyun put the key into his bag and said with a smile: "I will often go to Fucheng to stay overnight, so I can't always disturb the Wan family."
Wan Shan didn't know anything about the clan's thoughts.
In the past, the chief steward had thought about marrying Song Liyun into the Wan family, but the head of the family did not agree, and the fourth son of the eldest son who was the most suitable for marriage did not agree, so the matter was not mentioned.
Now that Song Liyun is related to the Di tribe, he will naturally not be forced to stay with Wanjia.
Song Liyun asked Shopkeeper Wan when there would be a convoy from the county town to Fucheng. After confirming the time, she returned to Tianxiang Tower.
The acting doctor made an appointment to pick someone up on the eighth day of the lunar month, but Song Liyun wanted to arrive two days in advance.
Renting a house is not just for accommodation convenience, she also has other things to deal with.
Jiang Feng is a government official, so this tax inspection can be said to have directly hit Shen Leyan and the others seven inches.
The taxes for six years not only need to be made up, but the penalty will also be doubled.
In the evening, Shen Leyan and several others gathered together again. He Dong was stroking his cheek and huddled in the corner with a bruised face.
It's just that there is an unfamiliar face among the few people today.
It was early winter, and this man was wearing fur and holding a hand stove.
From Huang Changsheng, he already knew that these people were worried about paying taxes for several years. When he saw this helpless look, his eyes suddenly showed contempt.
Fortunately, he was born as a cook, and he only knows the trivial matters of cooking, cooking, and cooking. He can only open a restaurant when he is old, but he is still fighting in the nest when the trouble comes.
The magistrate of Qili County wants to check the taxes paid a few years ago. This is not for tax purposes. It is obviously a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.
After paying the tax money, there must be other things waiting for you, and you have to bow your head and admit your mistake to get through this joint.
After drinking a cup of tea, no one in the room came up with any countermeasures. Huang Changsheng turned to the man in fur and said, "My eldest son, you are well-informed, but I have to give you an idea."
Shen Leyan's face turned gray, and he also said: "Please also ask Master Lin to lend a helping hand. I am very grateful, and I will definitely give you a big gift in return."
Now, not only is his position as the leader of the kitchen guild in jeopardy, but he also has to spend a lot of money.
Jinxilou's six-year tax bill was 350 taels of silver, and the government had to double the penalty. The total fine was 1,000 taels of silver.
Even if he is the owner of a restaurant, such a large amount of money is still a piece of meat.
What's more, I got word from a few petty officials with whom I had a good relationship, and I was just getting started.
It has just begun. If the people don't fight with the officials, who knows what will be waiting for them later.
Now Mr. Lin from Fucheng has a relationship with the government, so we can only ask him for help.
Seeing the people bending down and kneeling before him, Mr. Lin couldn't help but feel proud.
But he had already known during his time in Fucheng that Magistrate Jiang of Qili County was no ordinary low-level official.
He condescended to take the post with the rank of sixth rank. As long as the three-year term is completed, he will definitely reach the rank of fifth rank and be promoted to prefect. That is someone who even his father will support.
Now he is laying the foundation for the disaster of several cooks... Impossible!
Mr. Lin picked up the tea, and Shi Shiran took a sip before speaking: "Dear bosses, although I have occasionally had contact with the magistrate, I came to Qili County just to find my unsatisfactory brother, and I don't want to interfere with you. Waiting for mundane things.”
It is true that he came to Qili County not because of Jin Xilou's troubles, but because his younger brother Lin Qingyuan came to Qili County in the summer on the pretext of avoiding the military disaster.
I am still waiting for this libertine who hangs around in the fat pile to come back and help negotiate for the next house to be cleared.
But after waiting for several months, no one came back. I sent people to look for him but they said he couldn't find him, so I came here in person.
Hearing the evasion of the eldest son Lin, Shen Leyan couldn't sit still: "I heard that the relationship between the eldest son and the prefect is extraordinary. If you can be accommodating..."
