The tea fields are not big, and there are not many teas picked from them. According to the old method, they are picked and dried, then fried, and finally packed and sold.

Originally, these teas were all sold by Qi Yuanwai through channels, but now that this piece of tea has been assigned to Jiang Ziyan, the tea leaves are naturally under his disposal.

Jiang Ziyan asked the tea farmers to separate the black tea from the green tea, and the fried tea should be stored first, and he planned to use it to make milk tea.

But he doesn't plan to open the milk tea shop alone, but has planned before, to open a restaurant.

He has already chosen the place. In Qingping County, this restaurant was originally called Yuelai Restaurant. Due to poor management, the business has been bleak, and it has been unable to make ends meet for two consecutive years. The boss is already planning to close.

This restaurant was inquired about by Zhang Qiu. He had stayed in Qingping County for a few years and was very familiar with it. Hearing about Jiang Ziyan's intentions, he went to the county for a walk and inquired about it. He happened to hear about this restaurant. Ready to close.

Originally, the owner of Yuelai Restaurant was planning to close the store and change the store to other businesses. Jiang Ziyan talked with him and sold the restaurant as a whole.In this way, the waiter in the hall and the cook in the back kitchen don't have to leave, and Jiang Ziyan saves the trouble of recruiting people.

The name of the restaurant was changed from Jiang Ziyan to Banquet Jiangnan. Although it is located in the southwest, it is very close to the Jiangnan area. The Jiangnan area is rich, and the people raised there have a bit of taste. The taste of the dishes is very good, and there has been a wave of publicity invisibly.

Not only did he change the name, he also had people adjust and transform the interior.

The restaurant has three floors, the first floor is the lobby, for customers to eat and order food, and the second floor is the box, which needs to be booked in advance.The third floor is the guest room, where you can eat and rest.

The lobby is divided into two parts. On one side are tables and chairs for guests to eat, and on the other side is a small independent space, which is the milk tea shop opened by Jiang Ziyan.

The milk tea shop has a separate front desk for ordering.There are bamboo sticks hanging on it, and several flavors are written on the bamboo sticks.

Jiang Ziyan asked Zhang Qiu to keep an eye on the redecoration, and he said that it was almost done, so Jiang Ziyan took Feng Ke to the county to have a look when he had time today.

The carriage bumped all the way to Qingping County and stopped in front of the restaurant.The shopkeeper's surname is Xu, in his 40s. He met Jiang Ziyan when he came over to negotiate prices with the former owner of the restaurant.

At this time, seeing Jiang Ziyan coming, he quickly put down the work in his hand and came up to meet him.

"The boss is here, come in quickly!" Shopkeeper Xu told the waiter inside with a wink, "Xiaojing, the boss is here, hurry up and make a pot of good tea!"

"Oh good!"

"Don't bother, I'm here today mainly to see how the restaurant's decoration is going, and to make some arrangements about you."

"Okay, okay, then I'll show you around, the interior decoration has been done according to your requirements."

Jiang Ziyan nodded, followed Shopkeeper Xu to go inside.

Three-quarters of the lobby on the first floor was occupied by tables and chairs for guests to eat, and there were vases and flower arrangements on each table. On the pillars, Jiang Ziyan asked the craftsman to carve patterns for him, and also engraved adverbs on them.

There is an open space in the middle of the lobby, which was reserved by Jiang Ziyan for a stage.He is going to invite storytellers or some entertainers to play the music, and occasionally he can do a song and dance to add to the characteristics of the restaurant.

There are two kinds of private rooms on the second floor, one is a separate room, the price is more expensive, and the second is a separate space separated by a large bay with bamboo curtains, the price is cheaper, and customers can choose freely according to their needs.

The third floor is equivalent to staying in an inn. The room is not big. In addition to the bed, there are cabinets, tables and chairs, and 24-hour hot water service.

The view on the third floor of the restaurant is particularly good, and you can see the Xiangjiang River outside from afar.Moreover, the storey of this restaurant is very high, the third floor is the top floor, and after going up, there are rooms all around, but there is a locked door at the end of the east.

Jiang Ziyan asked: "Master Xu, where does this door lead to, and why is it locked?"

"Going back to my boss's house, there is a platform outside, and the railings have been in disrepair for a long time. I'm afraid that someone will come up and cause accidents, so it has been locked."

"Open the door, I'll go in and have a look."

"Hey, I'll go down and find the key for you."

Shopkeeper Xu turned around and was about to go downstairs to look for the key, but he was a little worried, the lock was seriously rusted, and he didn't know if it could be opened or not.

Before he could go downstairs, Feng Ke, who followed Jiang Ziyan all the way without speaking, suddenly stepped forward to look at the keyhole, and said, "It's rusty, and it should be difficult to open with a key."

"Is there any other way to open it?" Jiang Ziyan asked.

Feng Ke took out the knife in his hand, and with a bang the lock was chopped off by him and fell to the ground.

The shopkeeper Xu next to him broke out in a cold sweat. Every time this person followed behind the owner without saying a word, he didn't expect to be so powerful.

After entering, Jiang Ziyan found that it was an open space similar to a viewing platform.

The location of this place is very good, but it was used to accumulate debris before.

He explained to shopkeeper Xu: "Clear out all the sundries in this place, let someone clean it."

Shopkeeper Xu nodded in response.

Jiang Ziyan moved from the first floor to the third floor, and felt that the overall decoration was okay.

Coming down from the third floor, he said, "Shopkeeper Xu, ask someone to buy some red lanterns and some red tassel knots, and then hang them at the door. Come on, remember?"

Shopkeeper Xu nodded, "Understood, I'll send someone to do it in a while. But does the wax need to be lighted every night?"

"Yes, it must be lighted every night."

"Boss, this wax oil is not cheap. If you light it every night, then the cost will be high."

Shopkeeper Xu reminded that he was hesitant to speak, for fear that the new boss would end up losing all his money like the previous boss, and they would have to look for jobs again.

"You don't have to worry about this, just do as I tell you."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After inspecting the overall decoration of the restaurant, Jiang Ziyan said: "Go and call everyone, I have some things to arrange."

Shopkeeper Xu quickly called all the workers in the restaurant, and standing in line in front of Jiang Ziyan, shopkeeper Xu introduced: "Boss, our restaurant now has three cooks, five waiters, and four Responsible for tidying up tables, washing dishes and boiling hot water."

After the introduction, everyone stared at Jiang Ziyan nervously. Seeing him frowning and keeping silent, his heart suddenly felt cold.

They looked at me and at you, and finally pushed shopkeeper Xu. Shopkeeper Xu is an honest and kind person. When he first came here, his family was very embarrassed. Many people here helped him.

He stood up and explained bravely: "Boss, I know that there are indeed a lot of people in our restaurant, but everyone has been working here for two years, and the whole family lives on this salary. Can you—"

"Master Xu," Jiang Ziyan interrupted him, "Where are you going, I didn't tell them to leave."

Hearing this, the people in the front row couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but after all, they changed to a new employer, so they don't know how much the salary will be paid. What if it is less than the current salary?

"That's it. I plan to let the two waiters go out to greet guests at the door. When guests come, they should warmly greet them and say welcome. Is there anything I can do to help you. After coming in, we will help them according to the needs and wishes of the guests and our available seats." Find a seat. The rest are responsible for ordering for the guests, and the five of you will take turns to replace them. In short, there must be no one to greet the guests at the door, remember?"

The five waiters hurriedly replied: "Remember!"

"As for the few of you who wash the dishes and clean up the tables, they will continue to do the original work. There will be two washers in the back kitchen, and the remaining two will clean the tables and chairs and clean up the dishes."

"Good host."

"The shopkeeper Xu is responsible for the accounts of the entire restaurant, and prepares the accounts at the end of each month to explain the income and expenditure to me."

"Yes, Master."

After the others made arrangements, there were only three cooks left.

In fact, it is not too many to hire three cooks for a restaurant, but that is when the restaurant's business is good.Now that their restaurant business is bleak, this number seems to be too many.

Jiang Ziyan didn't make arrangements like the people in front of him, but said: "It just so happens that it's almost time for dinner, the three of you make some of your best dishes for me to try."

This is already obvious to other people, isn't it that whoever cooks delicious dishes will be kept!The three of them didn't want to leave, and they tried their best to cook their special dishes.

Ji Chengcheng is one of the three chefs. At this time, he is cooking his special dishes in the back kitchen like the other two chefs, but his face is very depressed.

"Old Chen, I don't think I can stay anymore. I am indeed inferior to you and Lao Liu when it comes to cooking, but if I leave here, it will be hard to find a job with such a good salary in a big restaurant."

The chef called Lao Chen comforted: "Old Ji, don't think so. Although you are not as good at cooking as the two of us, aren't you very good at making desserts? Even the boss says your cooking is delicious!"

"But dessert is not a dish, and the guests on the table haven't ordered it a few times. Is the dessert owner satisfied?"

"That's better than what you are doing now, and don't worry, the boss said he won't fire people. This time, I guess it's just a test of our skills." They didn't really believe what they said, If it's not about firing people, why bother making them compete in cooking?

Ji Cheng gritted his teeth, don't worry about it, let's just make desserts, he is the best at desserts, he is definitely not as good as Lao Chen and Lao Liu in terms of cooking, why not make desserts to try his luck, in case the owner likes what he made What about dessert?

The three of them worked hard to cook their special dishes. After half an hour, a table of dishes was placed in front of Jiang Ziyan. There were meat and vegetables, as well as soup and desserts. They looked very rich.

Three people in the back kitchen were kneading noodles absent-mindedly, and the dishes had already been served, whoever left and whoever stayed will have the result after a while.

"Three, my boss told you to come over." Shopkeeper Xu said standing behind them.

Shopkeeper Xu didn't know when he came in, and he wasn't sure what Jiang Ziyan's plans were.When the three of Ji Cheng heard this, they felt that the time to judge them had finally come, and they washed their faces nervously.

The three of them stood in front of Jiang Ziyan again, clutching the skirts of their clothes tightly with both hands, watching Jiang Ziyan slowly savoring the dishes on the table, sweating from nervousness.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziyan ate for a while and didn't make a sound. After some time, he said, "Who made this dish?"

The dish he was pointing at was braised chicken diced yellow. When Old Chen saw it, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stood up and said, "Boss, I made it."

"Well, the taste is acceptable, but the chicken still has a fishy smell, and the vegetables inside are a bit old."

When Lao Chen heard this, his heart turned cold. He probably had no chance.

"What about this dish? Who made it?" Jiang Ziyan pointed to another dish.

"I did it." Old Liu stood up and replied.

"This sizzling sea bass dish is very tender, but the taste is too bland."

When Lao Liu heard this, his face turned pale, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He was afraid that this job might disappear.

Then Jiang Ziyan commented on several dishes, and finally pointed to two plates of dim sum and asked, "Who made this?"

Ji Cheng stood up and said, "Boss, I did it." His hands were hidden in his wide sleeves, nervous, and his palms were already sweating.

"It's soft in the mouth and tastes good." Jiang Ziyan was surprised, because this snack tasted like the layer of bread inside the cake, soft and delicious.
