Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

The old lady was also a shrewd person. She had just said that she would help Gu Dashi, and now she left quickly in case Gu Yue made any outrageous requests, so as not to embarrass her.

Gu Yue definitely wouldn't care about these things. He had no feelings for the old lady, and she was very kind to help him. They were three generations of children, and no one would say anything bad about her, an old lady who had been married for many years.

After the old lady left, Gu Yue and Madam Hou sat down again.

Gu Yue roughly talked about what happened at the entrance of the restaurant and his thoughts. Of course, he did not miss those suggestions, and put on several layers of armor: "Of course, I have never actually run a restaurant. This idea was also because I felt sorry for those vendors, and then I came up with this idea. If there is anything immature, you can just treat it as a joke, madam."

"Hmm... that's a good idea, but Hongcheng's income is already quite high, and adding a breakfast business might make people jealous."

"We have a franchise system. All the vendors who are jealous of our business are registered under the name of our restaurant. Why would they be jealous? As for those who are not wanted, I guess their business will not be good either." Gu Yue discussed with her patiently.

"Wouldn't this be against the people who sell tickets on the street? Although my mansion is not afraid of trouble, it is better to avoid causing trouble." The Marquis's wife sighed, "Your idea is indeed novel and avant-garde. I think it has some potential, but I don't know who is behind the boss of the breakfast street. There are risks..."

"What's the risk?"

A male voice came from outside the door.

A young man in a scholar's green robe walked into the room. When he saw Gu Yue, he frowned for a moment, then quickly relaxed, as if he was relieved after remembering something.

He bowed to the Marquis: "Mother."

"This is the second young master of the mansion." Madam Hou said with a smile, "Azhu, this is Gu Dashi, your grandmother's great-nephew, you should know him."

Cheng Zhu clasped his fists, his expression calming down: "Brother Dashi, long time no see."

Gu Yue quickly returned the greeting: "Second Young Master. I am so ashamed."

There is no need to repeat how ashamed I am, just get the point across.

Cheng Zhu was the successor in business trained by the Marquis's wife. His elder brother was more sophisticated, so he was preparing to become an official in the future and studied in the mansion all day long.

"What is mother talking about? Is it about the restaurant?" Cheng Zhu asked as he sat down.

"It just so happens that Azhu is trying to take over the family business recently. Dashi, tell Azhu what he thinks." The Marquis's wife was very happy. She thought it could be done, but the risk was a bit high, and it would be good to have more people make decisions.

Gu Yue then said it again, and also added answers to the lady's questions just now.

Cheng Zhu was in deep thought.

Gu Yue was not in a hurry to get this done, but with the Marquis' Mansion in front of him, it would be more logical for him to carry out his own plan.

"Mother, this is what I think." Cheng Zhu said, "Making money is secondary, but this matter can be used to create momentum for my mansion."

"Oh?" Mrs. Hou was very interested, but Gu Yue understood it all at once.

The Emperor of Northern Qin was a little confused about the issue of succession, but he was very diligent and caring about the people. He attached great importance to the problem of officials oppressing the people and having bad official style.

The Marquis' Mansion has no real power, but it is obviously a Marquis' Mansion. When it was established in Sushui County, it also meant a balance and mutual supervision between the aristocratic families and the government.

It is obvious that the government has some responsibility for today's incident. They arbitrarily issued street vendor tickets that were not covered by the law and resulted in the vendors being beaten and charged protection fees. If this matter is taken seriously, the county magistrate will be severely punished.

As for the Marquis's Mansion, while doing business, they also wanted to buy an official position to protect their own official career. What could be more suitable than a local official position in Su Shui County?

Gu Yue was present, and Cheng Zhu spoke very obscurely. If Gu Yue didn't have the script, he might not understand the deeper meaning at all. But Madam Hou obviously understood.

"In that case, this is indeed feasible." The Marquis's wife nodded.

"Son, ask someone to investigate the matter immediately. If the person behind the breakfast shop is not a powerful figure, then we will handle the matter." Cheng Zhu said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Madam Hou glanced at Gu Yue and said, "Since it was Dashi who gave us this idea, then, Dashi, you should follow the steward to do this."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Gu Yue stood up and saluted. He was very happy and had expectations in his mind.

Although his plan to return to Liuli Town to find Gu Xu would have to be postponed after this matter was settled, he would not return in the dark after having some business experience.

"Remember, make it a lively event and let everyone know about it, but don't openly offend the breakfast shop owner." Cheng Zhu reminded him, he was a little worried.

"I'll tell the manager. He's still in charge of this matter, and I'll be helping him." Gu Yue smiled. He knew he had no experience and would definitely not try to take credit for himself. What if he messed up?

"Okay, you are a smart person." Cheng Zhu believed in Gu Dashi's change, and looked at him with a little more friendliness. He is a relative after all, and his brain seems to be quite useful.

Gu Yue left Chenghou Mansion and rushed to Hongcheng Restaurant without stopping to report the good news to the steward and also told him the instructions of the Second Young Master.

The manager had been a shrewd person for so many years, how could he not understand the second young master's plan? He immediately waved his hand and asked the waiter to write a notice and post it in the store, and also post some nearby.

These notices were written in a rather shady style under the supervision of the steward. It looked like they were just about recruiting cooks, and one couldn't tell what they were without careful reading.

The owner of the breakfast shop over there didn't get the news until around noon.

He didn't take it seriously, but was a little surprised: "Hongcheng Restaurant is now recruiting chefs in the county? Aren't their signature dishes the specialties of famous chefs from all over Northern Qin?"

"It's normal to have helpers in the kitchen, and chefs must take in apprentices to pass on their skills. The first chef among them has been doing this for more than 20 years, right?" The one who spoke was the one pretending to be the young master.

"Never mind him. You just said that it was you who came up with the idea of ​​hiring those common people to cook?" the boss asked. Originally, he didn't think that Hongcheng Restaurant would hire those small vendors as chefs for its big restaurant.

"Of course!" The fake young master came up to him, "Boss, don't you think this is perfect? ​​We don't have to bother to support those workers. These vendors have been forced into a corner, so why don't they just run away if we give them some money?"

"But didn't you just chase after..." The boss didn't understand.

"Hey! Who knows what the relationship between our shop and those bad young masters is? Only heaven and earth know, you and I know..." The fake young master winked.

"Those poor common people didn't think of this?" the boss expressed his doubt.

"With their brains, they would have thought of it a long time ago!" said the fake young master.

"...Okay! You keep bothering them for a few more days, and then I'll take action myself and take them down!" The boss hammered his palm.
