Shopkeeper Feng led Tian Minyan and the others around the shop. The second floor was full of private rooms, facing the East Street. It was still designed like a balcony, and they could see the scenery of the street. The yard behind was a
In the small courtyard with two entrances, there are five rooms in the front yard, which are used for the warehouse and the waiter's residence, while the back yard is occupied by Shopkeeper Feng's family of four.
Shopkeeper Feng's wife is a quick and capable woman. She keeps the yard neat and tidy, and she usually helps in the kitchen. Her son is thirteen years old and studying in school, and her daughter is only six or seven years old. She is very well-behaved and smart.
.
After walking around, Tian Minyan was extremely satisfied. When she saw Shopkeeper Feng looking forward to it but with a bit of reluctance, her heart moved and she said, "Shopkeeper Feng, I like this shop of yours very much, and I have decided to buy it."
"Really?" Shopkeeper Feng's eyes lit up, then became dim. He stroked the edge of the table and murmured: "This is good, this is good."
He calmed down and asked again: "What did the girl mean when she said she would stay? Also, I would like to ask more, what kind of business does the girl want to do? Do you want to keep the things here?"
"Shopkeeper Feng, please sit down." Tian Minyan sat down, looked at him and said, "I still run this shop as a restaurant. I think most of the items here are old and they won't be replaced, but I will redecorate the shop.
Renovated.”
"Do we also want to open a restaurant?" Shopkeeper Feng was surprised when he heard this. He pursed his lips and thought for a while and said, "Normally, the old man is very happy that the girl has bought my shop. I believe that the girl will run it well. It's just a restaurant.
The old man is not afraid to tell the girl directly that the owner of the Piaoxiang Building in front of him is said to be the nephew of the wife of the prefect of the prefecture, named Fan Wenguang, known as Mr. Fan. In fact, there was a small restaurant at the end of this street.
It was also due to the influence of Piaoxianglou that the business was unable to continue, so it was closed down and transferred."
Tian Minrui's face sank when he heard that he was a relative of the government. He added a bit of disgust and said, "Is that Mr. Fan just bullying others? Isn't it true that you are not allowed to open a shop?"
"That's not true." Shopkeeper Feng shook his head and said, "But they are spreading the word intentionally or unintentionally that this is the prefect's shop and restaurant. If you go to eat at other restaurants, you will not give the prefect's face. This young man also knows that the people
If you don't fight with officials, you will always be in awe of them. How can ordinary people compete with them?"
"It's not just bullying others." Tian Minrui sneered: "This is also a threat."
Shopkeeper Feng sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's no wonder, this is not always the case in the southern dynasties."
"too..."
"Brother, that's enough."
Tian Minrui wanted to say something else, but Tian Minyan quickly pressed him down and said, "It's more important to talk about business." Tian Minrui had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Shopkeeper Feng, since I haven't said that I'm not allowed to open a shop, it doesn't matter. Moreover, the magistrate is doing business on an equal footing in the state capital. Can he not get out of the way? The magistrate still has the final say in this county.
No matter how close Mr. Fan is, he is no bigger than the county magistrate, right?" Tian Minyan said calmly: "I will own this shop and open a restaurant, but shopkeeper Feng, I have a merciless request."
"Girl, it's okay to just say it."
"Shopkeeper Feng has been here for many years, right?" Tian Minyan asked.
Shopkeeper Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I was born and raised here. If I really couldn't hold on, I wouldn't be willing to leave." He stroked the table, with deep nostalgia in his eyes and words.
"If you can't bear to leave, then stay." Tian Minyan said with a smile: "I see that Shopkeeper Feng is very reluctant to leave this shop. Shopkeeper Feng, you also grew up here. Even though your ancestors are not here, you must consider yourself to be from here.
, even your wife and children are reluctant to leave, right?"
Shopkeeper Feng was told the central point by her and showed a wry smile and said: "The girl is really beautiful and has a beautiful heart. She is indeed as good as the girl said. There is a saying like this, who wants to have hair tattooed? I am like this
I was forced to do so, to be honest, I really don’t want to leave here, after all, I have lived here for decades.”
"In that case, can Shopkeeper Feng stay and be the shopkeeper of my restaurant?" Tian Minyan invited with a smile.
"What?" Shopkeeper Feng was stunned when he heard this. Even Tian Minrui and the others looked at Tian Minyan.
"To be honest with Shopkeeper Feng, this is the first time for our Tian family to buy a shop and open a shop. Our family is far away in Taiping Town. It is not easy for the whole family to move to the county. The shop always needs a shopkeeper, and everyone is invited.
Why not hire someone familiar? I have seen Shopkeeper Feng’s feelings for this shop. I believe Shopkeeper Feng won’t let it go. Even if the owner changes, he still has his own feelings, right? If Shopkeeper Feng becomes the shopkeeper of our shop,
I also believe that you can manage it properly, which is better than me going outside to find someone who doesn't know the basics to manage it."
Shopkeeper Feng opened his mouth wide and shouted: "Girl..."
"The most important reason why I asked Shopkeeper Feng to stay is that you are also in this business. You know some things better than us laymen. I really need such people to help us." Tian Minyan took a sip of tea and continued
Said: "Of course, if Shopkeeper Feng wants to go back to his hometown and open a small shop specializing in braised pork knuckles, I won't be able to keep him, but I hope Shopkeeper Feng can stay, not for anything else, just to watch this.
The shop is growing. Don’t worry, I will pay you whatever the shopkeeper next to you earns for a month. If the business is good at the end of the year, there will be dividends. Even your family can stay in the backyard. I don’t know if Shopkeeper Feng is willing.
?”
"Yes, yes, I am willing." Shopkeeper Feng nodded hurriedly, stood up, rubbed his hands together and said, "I just didn't expect that I could stay here and look at this shop."
"With Shopkeeper Feng staying to help, I believe that this shop will become the most popular restaurant in the county." Tian Minyan smiled confidently and said: "If Shopkeeper Feng agrees, then sit down and continue the topic that we just left unfinished. Shopkeeper Feng
Have you received any orders? If not, I would like to officially close the store tomorrow and renovate it and open it another day."
Shopkeeper Feng sat down. The two parties first signed a contract to hand over the shop. Deng Fugui was also there. The contract was quickly signed for the sale and purchase of the shop. It was Deng Fugui who signed the red contract. Tian Minyan and the others re-established an employment relationship with shopkeeper Feng.
After signing the contract, we discussed the renovation and reopening of the shop.
When the preliminary plan was finalized and it got late, Tian Minyan asked Deng Fugui to take Tian Minrui back to Taiping Town first, while she and Tian Huairen and Xie Chengzhong continued to live in the county to complete the entire plan for the opening of the shop.
