When Xiao Hei heard this, he looked at Xiao Bai in surprise. Xiao Bai immediately hid with some embarrassment.
If they weren't wolves and couldn't see their expressions, Xiao Bai would probably be blushing at this moment.
Xiao Hei saw this and said, "Xiao Bai is shy. Let's hug him again after his master leaves."
After hearing this, Tao Qiqi nodded: "I understand. Then you can hug me after I leave."
Try to let me be a grandma next year.
Of course, Tao Qiqi didn't say the last sentence, because she was afraid that Xiao Hei would be shy and angry, and if she didn't give birth to Xiao Hei or Xiao Bai to her, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Turning around, Tao Qiqi walked towards the room in the courtyard.
I took out the key I just obtained and selected a box at the end.
The lock was locked, the cabinet door was opened, and this time Tao Qiqi received a gift package of seasonings, which she did not have at this time.
It also comes with a recipe book.
Although she has developed many dishes by herself during this period, it would be safer to have recipes.
It seems that even her plug-in is supporting her to do it boldly, roll up her sleeves and work hard!
If that's the case, then she has nothing to worry about.
After leaving the space, Tao Qiqi wanted to take Fang Yuzuo with her to see if there was a suitable place. When she came out of the room, she didn't know where Fang Yu had gone except that her mother was sewing clothes with Aunt Jiang in the courtyard.
"Mom, where is Xiaoyu? Why don't you see Xiaoyu?" Tao Qiqi asked.
"Xiaoyu just finished her meal and said she was going out, and then she went out alone." Qi Mei replied.
Now that Xiaoyu also has martial arts to protect herself, no one has anything to worry about when she goes out alone.
"This girl, why are you so mysterious today? Mom, I'm going out to see if there's a suitable place to do business. I'll be back soon." Tao Qiqi said and went out.
Since she decided to open a restaurant, Tao Qiqi was ready to start with what she already had and see if she could buy it directly from them.
At this juncture, if the price is reasonable, the owner should be willing to sell it.
There are two large restaurants in Nanguan City, one in the west of the city and one in the east of the city.
Most of the people living in this area in the west of the city are generals, military doctors, officers, and their families in the military camps.
What they do is pretty much their business and the business in the military camp.
This business is good or bad.
The advantage is that the business is relatively stable, and you can also get in touch with generals, officers, etc. of different statuses.
But the bad thing is that they like to sign orders when eating.
Most people settle accounts once a month, and some only settle accounts once every six months.
The owner of Chengxi Restaurant was still willing to sell the restaurant, and the price was reasonable.
But one thing is that Tao Qiqi needs to advance the existing unsettled orders. At the end of the month, Tao Qiqi will take the orders to settle with those people, and the money recovered will belong to Tao Qiqi.
The advance payment alone is a lot of money.
Coupled with the money to buy the restaurant, Tao Qiqi would be under extraordinary pressure to make a move.
Then thinking that she would have to continue to advance funds when the restaurant opened, Tao Qiqi chose to give up without hesitation.
Besides, on the east side of the city, near the east gate and the entrance to the city, there are many caravans traveling from various places in Dayong, as well as ordinary people from nearby Dayong.
The advantage here is that there is no signing and everything is paid in cash.
But the disadvantage is that business is very unstable. Especially now due to the impact of the war, business is even worse.
This made the restaurant, which had little business in the first place, even worse.
The owner finally met Tao Qiqi who wanted to buy the restaurant, and it was like meeting a savior, so he took Tao Qiqi around the entire restaurant.
While walking around, I followed behind and explained.
The restaurant is fully equipped and has three floors in total.
The first floor is the hall, kitchen, stables, etc.
The second floor is a private room.
The third floor is used for guest accommodation.
The only thing missing now is the manpower.
Because of the fighting some time ago, some store employees hid in their hometowns overnight.
Even though some of them came back in the past few days, the owner did not keep them because the restaurant was out of business.
"Nanguan City is at the border. How did the shopkeeper remember to do business back then?" Tao Qiqi asked curiously while walking around the restaurant.
The shopkeeper replied helplessly: "There is no other way. Because of the family's financial difficulties and some unavoidable reasons, I came to Nanguan City and wanted to rely on this restaurant to turn over. But to be honest, this business only has two
No, there haven't been so many wars before, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers here, and the caravans are coming diligently, so business is still very good.
Just the past two years... Let’s not talk about it anymore. The young master is someone who really wants to do business here. If the young master thinks this restaurant is good, then I will give you less. What do you think? Look at the current trend.
, the war here in Nanguan should be stabilized, and business will also pick up as it slowly gets better. This is no less profitable than opening a restaurant in other places."
Tao Qiqi smiled and replied: "I'll take a look."
Of course she understood what the shopkeeper just said.
There are so many soldiers guarding the border here, and there are many official teams and caravans coming and going to deliver supplies, so the business is naturally not much different.
But these are actually secondary.
Tao Qiqi is looking at long-term development.
In the future, if the country is peaceful and the people are in peace, if friendly relations can be established with neighboring countries, Dayong can go to neighboring countries, and neighboring countries can also come to Dayong, just like in the present world, then Nanguan will become the gateway to and from the country.
There will only be more and more people coming and going, so why should she worry about the restaurant's business?
Not only restaurants, but when she has enough money, she will open more shops, and all kinds of shops will be opened. It will not be a dream to make money every day.
It's no worse than Yongdu City.
What's more, if she really goes to Yongdu to open a restaurant, she will have to spend a lot of money just to buy a restaurant. After all, every inch of land is valuable at the feet of the emperor.
But the restaurant in Nanguan City is different. Nowadays, not only is the situation itself cheap, she can still bargain.
"How is it? Master, do you still feel dissatisfied? If you are not satisfied, just say so. I will definitely help you if I can."
Tao Qiqi thought about it and replied: "This restaurant is really good, and the price is quite reasonable. But if I buy it, you can see that these tables and chairs are already old, so I will naturally have to replace them with new ones.
The kitchen also needs to be renovated. After all this trouble, it won’t be open until next month at least..."
"I understand what the young master means. In this way, no matter how much I reduce, this will be the biggest concession I have made. If I give in any more, it will mean that I give the restaurant to the young master for free." The shopkeeper said and gestured with two fingers (two
One hundred taels).
Seeing this, Tao Qiqi didn't hesitate anymore, nodded and agreed with a smile: "Okay, the shopkeeper is so generous, then I will buy this restaurant. Pay the money with one hand and sign with the other."
Upon hearing that Tao Qiqi was willing to buy the restaurant, the shopkeeper clapped his hands happily: "Okay, the master is also a generous person. The master has a unique vision, and the business of the restaurant will definitely be good in the future."
After saying this, the shopkeeper took out the deed of the restaurant from his pocket.
Seeing this, Tao Qiqi smiled and said, "The shopkeeper is always ready."
