After being crossed, I have reached the pinnacle of my life

Probably good things are easy to come in pairs. After the barbecue restaurant is on the right track, there is also news about the new hot pot restaurant.

It was two connected shops, and the owner was also a friend of the original owner of the barbecue shop. When the two of them chatted occasionally, he moved his mind.

His place was originally unused, it was rented out by others, but recently there was a bit of trouble, he didn't want to rent it anymore, and was planning to change to someone else, but he heard from a friend that his small shop had a rent of five taels of silver a year, Immediately felt a little excited.

His place is a bit like an open warehouse. The two sides are joined together to form a long strip of pavement. It also has two floors. The upper part is as big as the lower part, and it is accessed by a ladder against the wall.

The shop is quite big, but the location is a bit far from what Jiang Zhou expected, and if he wants to open a hot pot restaurant, he has to rebuild a kitchen in the back.

But there are too few rented shops in this town at the moment. They are either too small or the owner's house sits on the floor and the price is raised. Compared with this, this is already very suitable.

Jiang Zhou discussed with Lu Dalang and rented this place at a price of 20 taels a year.

Because the shop is big enough, Jiang Zhou originally planned to make a hot pot restaurant with ordinary soup base, but temporarily changed it to add Haidilao.

The pots are also made by a familiar blacksmith, and he has also made a lot of "weird-shaped" pots in their houses, big and small.

The pot he made this time is square on all sides, with a round pot in the middle for the mushroom soup. The other four pots are the same as Haidilao, and the guests can choose by themselves.

Since it is an imitation of Haidilao, service is very important, so Jiang Zhou went to the dental shop to choose the waiter himself.

He intended to find some smart and diligent ones, but after looking at them one by one, he was quite dissatisfied, and always felt that they were not the "Haidilao waiters" in his mind.

He complained about this trouble to his friends around him, and asked them to help pay attention.

As a result, Zhuobang told him one thing.

It is said that the house of an official in the state capital was ransacked, and all the servants in the house signed the deed of sale, and none of them became official slaves.

Generally, if no one takes over, they have to be sent to the palace to do the lowest work.

The house slaves trained by the rich family are the ones who know the rules best and will serve others, but if they want to buy them, it will cost a lot of money, and if they are bought, their deeds will have to be held in Jiang Zhou's hands .

This matter is quite big, Jiang Zhou hesitated a little.

It's not that he can't afford the money, but if he buys it back, it will be equivalent to suddenly having a lot of people in his family.

After thinking about it, he still wanted to discuss this matter with Wen Yan.

Wen Yan is obviously very happy in the school these days. When Jiang Zhou goes back to pick him up every day, he has an obvious smile on his face, and he will chat with him about the students in the school. Which one is not listening in class today? One was mischievous again, but it was obvious that Wen Yan was still very popular in the school.

After Wen Yan finished talking about the school, Jiang Zhou told him about himself.

"You mean you want to buy some servants?" Wen Yan was surprised: "We don't need it."

Jiang Zhou took his hand and walked on the road, explaining: "It's not for us, it's for the store."

"Oh." Wen Yan didn't pay much attention to the things in his shop, not to say that he didn't pay attention, and he understood many things, but he didn't interfere too much. He felt that Jiang Zhou had always had his own ideas, and these ideas were obviously correct. Yes, he never asked.

It was rare to hear him come to ask his own opinion, so he was fascinated: "Then... what do you think?"

Jiang Zhou frowned: "I don't really like holding a contract of sale."

Wen Yan could see his hesitation: "But this group of people is the most suitable, right?"

This is exactly what Jiang Zhou struggled with. Haidilao's service is too famous. If he were replaced by a casual person, he might not have the same effect.

Wen Yan smiled sullenly: "You, you are always on the verge of a dead end. If it is really suitable, so what if you buy it first? If you are really uncomfortable, put conditions on them, and then find a chance to give them the deed of sale. .”

Jiang Zhou knocked on the head, and suddenly realized: "Yes, am I stupid!" He just thought that he didn't want to get the deed of sale, so why did he forget that he could give them the deed of sale!

He was so violent that he hugged Wen Yan and turned around, kissed him: "My wife is so amazing!!"

Wen Yan was taken aback and gave him a hammer. Looking around, no one calmed down his heartbeat, and gave him a hard look.

……

Jiang Zhou asked Zhuobang to take him to the place where the servants were held the next day.

It was the first time for him to come back, so he was inevitably a little curious to observe, and found that this place was really different from the big prison he remembered. Although they were all criminals and prisoners, most of the criminals in the Qingping Bureau remained clean and decent. All locked together, waiting for someone to choose.

Apparently, there is news that an official has committed a new crime. Many people know that before the Qingping Bureau opened the door, there were many prostitutes standing at the door of the cell, and they did not chat with each other. of.

Their eyes seemed to be looking at the goods, which aroused the discomfort of the people inside, and each of them shrank back and tried to avoid it.

Jiang Zhou was brought by Zhuobang, and the officials led them to the front with knowledge of current affairs, so Jiang Zhou saw it most clearly, and most of them knew what they knew after looking around.

He is a big man standing in front of a group of toothmaids, he is really conspicuous, and his eyes don't seem to be looking at the goods, the few people inside looked at each other, the eyes were right, and when he glanced at himself, they were bold I saluted.

Because of Zhuobang, the official gave Jiang Zhou the first chance to choose.

Jiang Zhou directly picked eight people.

As soon as those people stood up, the officials could not help but take a look at Jiang Zhou.

Without him, the ones he picked were all well-groomed, with good looks and good manners.The second is that there are only a few big girls in the family of the official who was copied, and they are all in these eight.

The eyes are really vicious.

They were also curious about what Jiang Zhou bought them for, could it be that he went back to serve others?

The chosen ones were also curious, but they didn't dare to ask, and just followed him back silently.

When he got back, Jiang Zhou found a chair and sat down, and slowly explained to them about Haidilao.

He could see that among these people, the girl standing in the first place was faintly headed, and asked her name, Qing Ning.

Qing Ning and the others have thought about their possible fate in the future, either they will be bought by the matchmaker and sold in a kiln, the better ones will be sold to others as concubines, or the better ones will continue to be maids in other people's homes, but they are not Most of the domesticated ones are not reused.

Even when Jiang Zhou bought all of them in one go, they felt that Jiang Zhou might not be a tortoise—although the temperament was not very similar, but apart from the tortoise, they couldn't think of anyone who would buy so many young men in one go. girl.

In the end, who would have thought that they were bought to be waiters?

Jiang Zhou, who didn't know that he was being treated as a tortoise, continued: "You should also know that your deed of sale is in my hands. To be honest, if you do well in the future, you want to redeem this deed of sale. No problem either."

Can the contract be redeemed? !

A group of girls looked up sharply.

Most of them are girls with miserable backgrounds. They were either abducted and sold when they were young, or girls whose families were too poor and were sold. They are used to being slaves and never expected to get rid of this status. As a result, someone told them today, They can redeem themselves.

Jiang Zhou met their unbelievable eyes and continued: "However, it is not without conditions. You can only redeem it after three years. During these three years, you can marry freely, but you have to work in Haidilao shop. Every month I have a performance appraisal here, if you fail the appraisal, the redemption time will be extended."

The purpose is to let them work hard and not be lazy.

Jiang Zhou told them about the work to be done every day, and added at the end: "How is it?"

The girls looked around and nodded.

……

Before Haidilao opened, someone in the town got the news, but the direction of the news was a bit strange.

They didn't know where they got the information, and they said that Jiang Zhou had brought eight beauties to offer in the store, and each of them was equally beautiful, with different beauties.

The news spread more and more widely, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became. Later, it gradually evolved into Jiangzhou Jinwu Zangjiao, and she even hid eight of them, abandoning her original partner.

Those who were close to Wen Yan all went to him to inquire about the news.

Although Wen Yan didn't understand why, he explained one by one: "Brother Zhou is not that kind of person, you may have heard wrong."

He trusted Jiang Zhou, and didn't take it to heart, and he didn't mention it when he went back, and no one who didn't have eyes would mention it to Jiang Zhou. Therefore, when Lu Dalang heard the news, he quietly hinted and asked, Jiang Zhou realized that he was the last to know.

Just can't help crying.

He comforted Lu Dalang: "It's okay, they will understand when Haidilao comes out."

The rumors intensified, and Jiang Zhou probably knew who was behind the push, but he was busy now, so he didn't care about him. Instead, he used this incident to spread the news that Haidilao was going to open.

Compared with the last time the hot pot restaurant opened, this time it was obviously more sensational.

After all, everyone has the mind to gossip, especially the kind mixed with love affairs, they can't help but want to find out, let alone this time it is said that there are eight!

A bunch of people squeezed into the sea.

It turned out that Jiang Zhou was standing at the front of the table, with a large banner behind him, which said, the best service, the most considerate service, and the most delicious food.

Eight beauties?

They saw nothing!

Feeling cheated, the onlookers were about to leave when they suddenly saw a shadowy figure on the second floor.

The willow has a slender waist and slightly dewy powdery face.

Suddenly stunned.

Walked in unconsciously.

They were shocked as soon as they entered - this is different from the hot pot restaurant in their impression!
