Chapter 169 What to eat?
"Young Madam, how did you come up with this idea?"
Li Baoshan asked excitedly.
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Ruonan, Jiang Weinan, and Manager Wang came out from behind the curtain.
Jiang Ruonan was also excited: "Sister-in-law, your idea is great!"
He couldn't find the words to describe it.
Jiang Weinan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xie Jiaojiao. He couldn't understand why a farm girl would go to the county town for the first time, except for the last time she went out of town to buy bricks.
But she has so many ways to make money.
"When did you come?"
Jiang Ruonan walked over and said, "We came here when you first mentioned it. We wanted to invite you to dinner, but we didn't expect to hear such a great idea. Cousin, I really admire you!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly. She was just using the successful experience of later generations to gild the lily here.
"Xie Jiaojiao, sometimes I really want to split your head open to see what unexpected things are in your head."
Steward Wang's eyes also turned red, and he wiped away his tears: "With the young lady, the businesses that the eldest lady has built up will finally have a chance to be passed on."
Jiang Weinan patted his shoulder.
Xie Jiaojiao said to Li Baoshan: "I hope Manager Li can call everyone here as soon as possible so that we can discuss together how to move this matter forward."
Li Baoshan clenched his fist and clasped his hands: "Young Madam, I will definitely live up to your trust and try to gather all the shopkeepers in the next two days."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
Shopkeeper Li bowed to Jiang Weinan and Jiang Ruonan again before retreating.
As soon as Shopkeeper Li left, Jiang Ruonan asked Xie Jiaojiao, "Sister-in-law, can our shops in other places use your idea?"
Xie Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked at him: "Of course, you can, but if you want to use my idea, the names of these inns must be the same, and they must be managed together, Grandpa..."
"Hey, don't worry about that! I'll go write a letter to Grandpa right now. I believe Grandpa and Second Uncle will agree with this idea!"
Having said that, he ran away.
Jiang Weinan shouted: "You don't want to eat?"
Jiang Ruonan kept walking: "No more eating! You guys eat first!"
"This brat!"
Manager Wang was even more respectful to Xie Jiaojiao: "Young Madam, I have also found the furniture maker you asked me to find earlier."
"Come? Then let's go meet him together and tell him the style I want."
Xie Jiaojiao said this and followed Manager Wang.
"You don't want to eat either?"
Xie Jiaojiao turned around and said, "Go to the room and get me the drawings that I have pressed on the chopping board."
Jiang Weinan heard this and decided not to eat it either.
In the afternoon, Xie Jiaojiao and the carpenter who made furniture talked in the pavilion in the yard for the whole afternoon. Their mouths were almost smoking from talking. During the meal, Jiang Weinan brought it to her, and she only ate two bites.
Jiang Weinan pulled Manager Wang and said, "Don't you think your young mistress looks particularly good when she's doing something serious?"
Manager Wang glanced at Jiang Weinan with contempt in his eyes.
"What's with that look in your eyes, old man?"
Steward Wang folded his hands and said, "Master, I have to tell you the truth. You are really not worthy of my young mistress!"
"Hey, you old man, who do you belong to?"
Steward Wang raised his head and said, "I will follow Young Madam's lead!"
Jiang Weinan rolled his eyes to the sky.
At night, when Xie Jiaojiao finished washing up and was about to go to bed, Jiang Weinan sat on the floor and asked her, "How come you have so many crazy ideas?"
Xie Jiaojiao pulled the thin blanket, ready to lie down, and glanced at him: "Because I use my brain, unlike you who only use your mouth!"
Having said that, he fell asleep.
Jiang Weinan clenched his fists in anger. These two people all looked down on him...
He was so angry.
He turned over, kicked the quilt, and fell asleep in a bad mood.
When he got up the next day, Xie Jiaojiao had gone out again.
Jiang Weinan called Lai Laifu: "Where is the young lady?"
Lai Fu brought some water for washing: "Young Madam went to the shop and said she was discussing the employment of staff with Shopkeeper Wang."
Fine.
"Where's Jiang Ruonan? What is he doing? Is he still sleeping?"
"My cousin followed the young lady early in the morning."
When Jiang Weinan heard this, he swallowed all the mouthwash down his throat and put down the cup: "Thank you, little brat, for chasing after my wife all day long. When I go back this year, I will ask grandpa to arrange a marriage for him."
After Jiang Weinan had breakfast, he took Lai Fu out. Since he had promised Xie Jiaojiao to find a storyteller and an opera troupe for her, he had to keep his word!
Manager Wang called back all the shop assistants.
However, some of them did not come back because they have found new jobs. Those who came back this time are those who have not found new jobs yet.
Shopkeeper Chen and Chenpi also came.
Xie Jiaojiao and Shopkeeper Chen exchanged a few brief greetings.
Shopkeeper Chen looked more haggard than before.
Xie Jiaojiao expressed her concern for him, and Shopkeeper Chen said, "It takes a lot of effort to handle the affairs, but it will be done in two days."
Only then did Xie Jiaojiao feel relieved.
The reason why I called these people back today is that some of them have been with this shop for so many years, and even if they have not made any contributions, they have worked hard. So I thought, thank you, and give them a chance to come back after the shop is reopened.
But after this "interview", Xie Jiaojiao directly eliminated several people.
I was wondering why this shop went bankrupt before. The service attitude of several people was terrible. They looked like they wanted more than they could handle and didn't take others seriously. People like this would not be able to work well in the service industry.
Xie Jiaojiao simply asked someone to "invite" them out.
Shopkeeper Chen looked at the huge shop and said with emotion: "Young Madam, to be honest, I used to be the shopkeeper in this shop. It was only after Madam passed away that I was assigned to Qingshui Town by the master."
"I didn't want to go at first, but when I thought about the young master being there, I thought it would be a good idea for me to go."
When Manager Wang heard this, he patted him on the shoulder and was also quite touched.
“I didn’t expect that I could come back now.”
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Maybe this is fate. I'll be grateful to you for running this shop in the future."
Shopkeeper Chen immediately bowed and said, "You still have to follow the young lady's instructions."
"I don't know much about the restaurant business. I'll have to ask Manager Chen for more advice later."
"Don't dare!"
While Xie Jiaojiao was talking, she led Manager Chen inside and explained to him what each place was used for!
After listening to all this, Shopkeeper Chen was still a little confused: "Young Madam, what kind of food are you going to make in this restaurant?"
Xie Jiaojiao said, "On the first floor, we serve snacks that everyone can afford. On the second floor, we serve hot pot. All of them are private rooms, which are convenient for businessmen and guests to discuss matters. On the third floor, we serve a la carte meals. These a la carte meals may seem the same as those in most restaurants, but they are actually different. You will know when the time comes."
