I'm doing infrastructure around the tyrant [system]

In fact, Tang Yu could tell who the middle-aged man's voice was just now, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed out to say hello.

Although it is convenient for the original owner to be a scholar, it is not easy to win people's trust because of his young age.

If it is an acquaintance, the effect is different.

"Young master, why are you engraving books here? Is it difficult at home? Is the old lady in good health?"

Liu San greeted with surprise and concern.

He was the shopkeeper who used to work with the original owner's father. Tang's father was kind to him. He was one of the few people who were still close to the Tang family. He often sent some rice, grain, meat and vegetables to the Tang family to help and take care of him. He was a solid person.

Looking at Tang Yu's bamboo shavings, he guessed that he must be in trouble at home, otherwise, as a scholar, why would he not be in a private school during school hours, but sitting in a bookshop instead.

The other party has little knowledge, and because they are more familiar, they speak more casually.

Tang Yu didn't mind taboo, nodded,

"Grandmother has been in good health these days. Thanks to Uncle Liu for taking care of me. I just came out for a few days to get some fresh air. I carved a few bamboo slips to help my grandma make ends meet. Both my father and grandpa passed away. I am 16 and I am the eldest grandson. I should take care of my grandmother. Divide your worries..."

"Little young master is precious, how can you worry about these things? If the family is in trouble, I will come to Uncle Liu. Although Uncle Liu is not very capable, it is still possible to take care of you for the master."

Liu San was full of regret when he saw that the young master, who used to have no worries about food and clothing, was now struggling to make ends meet.

He followed Boss Tang when he first started doing business. Thanks to his boss, he was able to make a fortune and support a large family. Now that the Tang family has lost and the family business has been divided up, he feels extremely uncomfortable and only hates himself. Not capable enough to help the Tang family keep their business.

They spent all their savings to take over the Tang Family Restaurant. Apart from wanting to be their own owner, part of the reason was that they didn't want all the properties that Boss Tang brought them to sell into the hands of others.

Seeing that the young master has come to engrave books to make money, I am really saddened. If the owner Quan Xia knows, I don't know how to be sad.

"Uncle Liu, there is no need to worry. My second aunt is helping me. The family life is fine. I just have nothing to do. I can make money by engraving books and learn new things. Besides... Wasn't Uncle Liu just worrying about the lack of customers in the restaurant with shopkeeper Lu?"

Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Liu San's face immediately, "I'm making the young master laugh, Liu San is useless, I've been with my boss for half my life, and if my boss isn't here, I'm useless..."

"Uncle Liu, don't blame yourself. I just heard Uncle Liu say that the business of the restaurant is not good. Is it because the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities are hung on the house to attract customers?"

Tang Yu habitually reached out to pat Liu San on the shoulder to comfort him. He learned this habit from his father and brothers in the modern family. Such physical comfort from the superior is the easiest way to show amiability and gain the favor of subordinates.

But he forgot that he was a teenager now, and his mature behavior made people laugh.

Shopkeeper Lu had a smile on his face, and stood beside him without interrupting, thinking that this young master was quite interesting.

Liu San had respect for Tang Yu in his heart, so he didn't notice it, and he was worried when he mentioned the restaurant, sighed,

"Yeah, originally we were on par with the White Crane Tower across the street, and our business has been successful since I stepped down from the restaurant, but a month ago, the owner of the White Crane Tower somehow managed to obtain a few calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, and all of a sudden the tide rose. All the gentry and officials of our restaurant have been attracted, and now the restaurant does not even make two taels of silver every day..."

Ordinary people here are really poor. Most of the customers who can go to the restaurant to eat are officials and officials of the gentry.

Therefore, the situation like what Liu San said was definitely a devastating blow. There was no profit of two taels of silver a day, not to mention making money, not even enough to pay the workers.

Tang Yu's modern family is in business. Even if he doesn't help the family with the work, the family must cultivate the qualities that should be a businessman.

He nodded and said, "Uncle Liu, I have a way to help the restaurant improve the situation, but I don't know if Uncle Liu is willing to try it?"

"What can young master do?"

Liu San's eyes were bright, and he didn't despise Tang Yu just because he was young.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The young master is the son of the master, and the master is very good at doing business. There is no reason why he would not teach the young master something. He has some expectations.

If it was the previous Tang Yu, he probably thought too much, but now Tang Yu can really help.

"Uncle Liu, take me to the restaurant to see the situation first, and I will tell you after I have seen it, but... in business, if the restaurant comes back to life, Uncle Liu, you want to share [-]% of the profit with me, how about it?"

Tang Yu smiled and stretched out a finger to gesture, not hiding his purpose.

Liu San was taken aback by the straightforward behavior, and then couldn't help laughing, feeling that the young master in front of him was quite the demeanor of his boss back then,

"That's what it should be. If the young master can help the restaurant to restore its former bustle, [-]% will be enough, at least [-]% will be enough."

"Then Uncle Liu, let's go back to the restaurant!... Shopkeeper Lu, I've finished engraving the book, and I'll be back later to settle the wages."

Tang Yu smiled openly, grabbed Liu San's sleeve and ran away, even putting the checkout with the bookstore behind.

If there is a source of income that is stable for a long time and does not need to be monitored at all times, and the family does not have to worry about food, he can do other things with confidence in the future.

But it’s nothing more than bringing a small restaurant back to life. If he can’t do it, it’s really not in vain for his status as a time traveler, nor for the days he was forced to go to the family company to exercise every summer vacation...

Seeing this, shopkeeper Lu of Shusi responded with a smile. It was the first time he saw a scholar who was so interested in business.

He has a good relationship with Liu San. If Liu San's restaurant can be brought back to life, he will be happy for him, but he doesn't know if Tang Yu can do it.

After all, no matter how smart he is, he is too young, even a person like Liu San who has been in business for several years can't do anything, what can the other party do?

Thinking of this, shopkeeper Lu shook his head, turned around and went into the room to look at Tang Yu's finished bamboo slips, and routinely checked whether the fonts were up to date. Although he didn't think Tang Yu would be fooled, he still had to read it, and judged whether to continue to invite people by the neatness of the characters. People reproduce.

Shopkeeper Lu casually picked up the bamboo slips on the table and glanced at them, then his eyes widened, showing surprise.

Huh?This word, this word...

**************

the other end.

Chao (zhao) Lailou is not far from the book shop, Tang Yu and Liu San soon arrived there.

This restaurant used to be the property of the Tang family. After Tang's father went out to do business, the first shop he opened when he came back with money was the restaurant. As the saying goes, people depend on food, and food production is an industry that is relatively ivy.

Facts have proved that Tang's father not only has good vision, but also has a great business mind. The business of the restaurant has been running very well for many years.

But this is when the strength of the competitors is similar, and now Chaolailou's family has brought celebrities' calligraphy and paintings as a gimmick, which instantly suppressed Liu San's side.

"In terms of dishes, our restaurant is the cook that your father invited back from the outside. He has a rich taste, which does not belong to the opposite side..."

"As for Xiaoer, our restaurant has also selected them. They are all handsome and qualified in appearance, sharp in tongue, and all of them can speak well..."

"We also have special farmers to supply the ingredients. They are very fresh. The only thing that is bad is the calligraphy and paintings of famous scholars. The fellow at the Baihe Tower opposite did not know where he came from. He actually got the hand-carved and scroll paintings of Sun Shizi, who is quite famous in the city. I am very angry. People too!"

Liu San was originally a calm person, but recently the restaurant business was robbed too much, and his livelihood was about to become a problem, so he couldn't calm down.

Tang Yu nodded secretly while listening to the other party's complaints while observing the situation of the restaurant.

Uncle Liu was right to complain, Chaolailou is considered a good restaurant here in all aspects. Although the dishes are not in the eyes of a modern person like him, they are very good compared to this place where cooking tools and ingredients are limited.

Although the decoration of the whole restaurant is not as good as the best Penglai Restaurant in the city, it is still very grand.

Of course, these "good" and "style" are only evaluated from the eyes of today's ancient people.

If Tang Yu were to use the standards of modern people, it would be difficult to describe.

You can imagine how limited food can be made in the absence of seasoning, and there are basically only three cooking methods: "steaming, cooking and roasting". In terms of decoration, just look at the straw mats used for the curtains, and you can imagine other things.

To sum up, in Tang Yu's view, this Licheng is at most equivalent to a modern township, and even some places are not as good as...

Tang Yu sighed.

Although he has many ideas to improve Chaolailou, but for the time being, they are all on paper.

The most direct way is to learn from the restaurant on the opposite side and find a few calligraphy and paintings of famous scholars, but the problem is that they have no connections, and it is as difficult as a Bodhisattva to find a famous scholar Wen Weng.

The way to order again is to improve the dishes, but this is also powerless, who told him that he is also a young master in modern times, who knows nothing but instant noodles, and the nanny aunt takes care of everything for basic necessities of life. He just wants to learn but has no chance.

The system does have relevant skill books, but unfortunately he doesn't have enough points to afford them, so he can only look around and sigh.

Therefore, there are currently only two ways to bring Chao Lai Lou back to life.

"Uncle Liu, calligraphy and paintings of celebrities are not available for the time being, but we can be innovative and break through with 'novelty'. I will first draw a few paintings to make up for the restaurant, and then some of the operating systems of our restaurant will also be changed. Next, I'll go back and think about it carefully before telling Uncle Liu, the most important thing now is... Uncle Liu, do you have money to invite some of your daughter-in-law's beauties to come out?"

Nvlu is the name for brothels and brothels in this era.

Uncle Liu blushed when he heard the words, "Young master, what are we going to do with my daughter-in-law's beauty?"

"Advertising..."

Tang Yu shook her head with her hands behind her back, pretending to be profound, but actually a little excited inside.

One of the things you must do to satisfy your curiosity through ancient times: visit brothels and see beauties!

The author has something to say:-

To be honest, I am really curious about what the ancient beauties were like
