Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 171: Stand alone
"Don't worry, we have our own arrangements for this matter. You just need to help us find a suitable house."
Zhang Siwa waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn't have to worry and just go ahead and do it.
Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Guo said no more.
After all, he was just an intermediary and had limited connections with the Zhang family.
But thinking of the Zhang family's quick response in the previous two transactions, he decided to go all out and use his extensive network of contacts to find a suitable property for the Zhang family.
Soon, agent Guo found a property on Dongyang Street, right next to Shanyue Building.
It was originally a restaurant. Business was booming when it first opened, but it later closed due to the accidental death of a diner.
In addition, the chef was later poached by Shanyuelou, and there were constant troubles, which eventually led to the restaurant becoming deserted and forced to close down.
Guo the agent is well aware of the trick. All this is just because Shanyuelou is doing bad things behind the scenes and maliciously excluding competitors.
Over the years, most businesses that dared to open restaurants in Chengguan County were suppressed by Shanyuelou. Their methods were so ruthless that they often hired street thugs to create trouble, while they themselves stayed out of it and played the role of innocent.
The victimized restaurants were unable to find solid evidence to fight back and tried to use their own tactics to retaliate, but they discovered that several major gangs in the city were on good terms with Shanyue Tower and no one was willing to get involved in this mess.
As a result, one restaurant after another went bankrupt, and Shanyuelou dominated the market in Chengguan County.
Earlier, agent Guo would not have recommended such a vacant restaurant to the Zhang family. After all, it was too close to Shanyue Tower and could easily become the next target.
But times have changed. Shanyuelou finally angered two martial arts masters because of its numerous evil deeds. The shopkeeper and the young master were taught a lesson and became more restrained.
The merchants who were oppressed by them in the past have now received compensation...
Not long ago, the old shopkeeper returned from the city. When he heard that his son had squandered all the family wealth for unknown reasons, he was very unhappy and accused his son of being fooled. There was no such thing as the so-called "Tiger and Crane Duo".
Coincidentally, on the night when he lost his temper, things took a turn for the better. The legendary "Tiger and Crane Duo" not only took the father and son away, but also taught the old shopkeeper a lesson in front of his son, making him suffer the consequences.
At this moment, the old shopkeeper seemed to have all the strength drained from his body. Lying on the bed, even turning over seemed extremely difficult, let alone getting up to continue his dishonorable livelihood.
Even if his body recovers, the mental trauma and external pressure will probably make him completely give up his conscience-breaking thoughts.
The duo of Tiger and Crane were like ghosts in the night, their whereabouts were mysterious and every time they made a move, the county magistrate became furious and lost all face.
So, the county magistrate gritted his teeth and dispatched a large number of runners to shuttle through the streets and alleys day and night, vowing to bring these two daring and presumptuous masters of the martial arts world to justice.
However, these two mysterious figures seemed to have the ability to escape. Not only could they move freely in and out of the major houses in the city, but they also left no trace even in full view of the public, making all their efforts come to naught.
The busy officers ended up with nothing in their hands, but the people of Chengguan County got to witness the extraordinary skills of the Tiger and Crane duo with their own eyes, and they secretly admired them in their hearts.
The wealthy families and children of officials who usually bullied others by taking advantage of their power were all frightened after seeing what happened to the young shopkeeper. They were afraid that the same fate would befall them, so they restrained themselves a lot. The atmosphere in Chengguan County became clearer invisibly.
Taking advantage of this fresh breeze, Jiang Gui seized the opportunity and mustered up the courage to mention his plan to purchase a restaurant to Zhang Siwa.
The heavy responsibility of conducting the field investigation fell on Xu Liyun's shoulders. After all, this was related to the future of the Zhang family. If the restaurant was managed well, perhaps its reputation could be expanded to the whole city. Naturally, she did not dare to be careless.
The exterior of the restaurant already reveals its extraordinaryness. The three-story building stands tall and majestic, and every brick and tile reveals the careful craftsmanship of the craftsmen.
As you step into the lobby on the first floor, you will find that the spacious space is enough to accommodate more than 40 round tables, and the lively scene when the hall is full of guests seems to be vividly presented before your eyes.
There are twenty private rooms on the second floor, each of which is decorated warmly and elegantly, suitable for small gatherings.
As for the third floor, it is a luxurious and large room with exquisite tables, chairs and screens. A small dressing room is cleverly separated in the corner for guests to change clothes.
Behind the screen, there is a low table, which is obviously prepared for live performances by musicians, adding a bit of elegance.
The design of the entire restaurant is both practical and stylish. Even if Xu Liyun was in charge of it herself, she might not be able to come up with such an ingenious layout.
After the visit, Xu Liyun couldn't help but sigh that it was obvious how much effort and financial resources the previous owner had poured into this restaurant.
If it weren't for the obstruction behind Shanyuelou, this restaurant might have already become a landmark of Chengguan County.
"Liyun, what do you think of this restaurant? Are you satisfied?"
When Jiang Gui saw her coming downstairs, he hurried forward to ask.
Xu Liyun had a clear purpose for this trip, and answered straightforwardly: "Very good, this is it!"
Once the restaurant was finalized, subsequent matters seemed to go smoothly.
This restaurant is worth a lot of money. Fortunately, Jiang Gui intervened and explained to the original owner with reason and emotion, saying that the person who took over has superb skills and will hopefully attract customers from Shanyuelou in the future. This can be considered as revenge for him.
The original owner had just received a compensation of one hundred taels of silver from Shanyuelou not long ago, but considering his generosity in spending huge sums of money to build such a grand restaurant, he obviously didn't care about this small amount of money.
He had been feeling unwilling and resentful about Shan Yue Lou's plot against him. Now that he heard that someone wanted to compete with Shan Yue Lou, after careful consideration, he decided to take this opportunity to save his face.
When Jiang Gui came to the house again and brought the news that the original owner was willing to sell it at half price, Xu Liyun was quite surprised at first, but after hearing the specific conditions, her doubts gradually dissipated.
"You mean, as long as our restaurant can surpass Shanyuelou within half a year, the remaining payment will be written off? If we fail to do so, we will pay Boss Yang 100 taels every month for the next six months until the house payment is paid off?"
Xu Liyun repeated the other party's conditions and confirmed that they were correct.
Jiang Gui nodded and added, "Yes, this is Boss Yang's suggestion. He also promised that if you agree, he will introduce the chefs and waiters dismissed from his restaurant to you."
Xu Liyun was indeed tempted by this.
Apart from anything else, just finding a good chef is not easy.
It is obviously beyond the capability of Zhang Siwa alone to run a restaurant of this scale, not to mention that he is still young and cannot be allowed to bear too heavy a burden.
Training new chefs is urgent, but it is not easy to find suitable candidates in a short period of time in the unfamiliar Chengguan County.
Even if we start training young people who are interested in cooking now, it will take at least a few years for them to be able to stand on their own and support the entire restaurant. This is undoubtedly unacceptable for the Zhang family who are in urgent need of opening a restaurant.
