Enter the red building

Chapter 5 The First Restaurant

At night, the moonlight outside the window is like water, slowly drifting down like white practice, shining crystal clear on the red eaves, shining with dazzling light.The wind at night is very cool, drifting by from time to time, dancing the pure moonlight, soft and misty like tulle, just like the fairy Chang'e in the Guanghan Palace dancing to clarify the shadow.

A few lamps were still on in the window, Xue Qiu was still sitting in front of the desk looking through the ledger, Zhu Qing stood aside to hold the lamp for Xue Qiu, sometimes fiddled with the wick to make the candle light brighter.

"Zhuqing, if you are tired, go to sleep first!" Xue Qiu said while flipping through the ledger.

Zhuqing smiled, "I'm tired everywhere, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to bear it, sir."

Xue Qiu stopped persuading her and just asked, "What time is it?"

"It's almost Haishi!" Zhu Qing replied, "Master, why don't you let it go and watch it tomorrow."

Xue Qiu shook his head, staring at the ledger, flipping through the pages one by one.In the quiet room, there were only the rustling sound of flipping through books and the breathing of the two of them.

Xue Qiu put down the ledger, there were no major flaws in the ledger, it seemed that they were still loyal to the Xue family, and his father did not misunderstand the person.It's just that the restaurant has to be carefully considered. The newly opened restaurant near Xue's house was opened by the prefect's family who just took office, and others often patronize it for the prefect's sake.Fortunately, I have read a few books on hotel management before. Although I am not proficient, I also know some marketing strategies.

After thinking about it carefully, Xue Qiu relaxed his frown, stood up and moved his body, and smiled at Zhuqing: "Okay, let's stop here today, and you will be tired by then."

Zhuqing sorted out the things on the desk, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about it, sir, go to sleep, or your eyes will be red again tomorrow. My wife may feel very distressed when I see you."

Xue Qiu cleaned his hands, untied the clothes on his body, looked at Zhuqing, and thought in his heart that he really looked like the attacker in the red building, but he didn't know what Zhuqing was thinking in his heart, whether he wanted to be an aunt.My father also took in a concubine, Yao Shi. Since his father passed away, he has often stayed in his yard, except to pay his mother's greetings and rarely come out.

How could he think of going up here? Xue Qiu shook his head and went to bed, "Zhuqing, don't be busy, go to sleep." The maids of Xue's family didn't sleep in the front like the ones in Jia's mansion, the maids on duty slept in the bed. Next door, if there's anything wrong, you can hear it just by shouting.

Zhuqing responded, left the room, washed up and went to sleep.

Probably thought of a solution, Xue Qiu slept very soundly this time, and only woke up when Ziyu came to call him.

The sun was shining warmly on his body. Xue Qiu was wearing a light blue gown, with a white jade belt around his waist, and a piece of translucent jade hanging on it. His long hair was tied behind him. He had white skin, a tall nose bridge, sword eyebrows and star eyes, With a leisurely demeanor, he looks like a handsome and romantic young man.

Xue Qiu invited Ann to his mother, laughed with his sister for a while, and then went to deal with the things left over from yesterday.The account book was handed over to the shopkeepers, and they were beaten a few times.The shopkeepers also heard about what happened to shopkeeper Li yesterday, and they didn't dare to make any decisions in their hearts, and they only focused on doing their own things well.

Xue Qiu handed shopkeeper Xu a stack of papers the size of a book, "Here are some ways I can improve the restaurant, can you take a look at it?" He picked up a cup of Longjing beside him and took a sip, leaving the fragrance on his lips and teeth.

Shopkeeper Xu sat at the bottom, carefully flipping through the plan given by Xue Qiu, the more excited he looked down, his eyes glistened, "Master, are you thinking of these ideas?" Shopkeeper Xu was a little uncertain asked.

"Why, what's wrong?" Xue Qiu thought that there was something wrong, but he didn't understand the meaning of what shopkeeper Xu said.

Shopkeeper Xu said excitedly: "No, no, it's just that this method is so good, maybe it can turn our Xue's restaurant into the number one restaurant in Jinling."

Shopkeeper Li, Bai Xia and others next to him were also shocked by Shopkeeper Xu's words, Jinling No. [-] Restaurant really dared to say it.Is the uncle's method really that good?

Shopkeeper Li blamed his nephew after returning home because of yesterday's incident, thinking that he could only talk less and do more in the future.Hearing what shopkeeper Xu said now, I wanted to see what the uncle gave me, but I didn't dare to say it directly, for fear that the uncle would still remember the mistakes I made.

Shopkeeper Xu saw that Shopkeeper Li was like this, and handed it to Shopkeeper Li with a smile, "Take a look, can the master's method still work?" Although he was asking him, the smile on his face and somewhat complacent tone already showed that this method is quite reasonable. OK

Shopkeeper Li is also an old businessman, and he can see the beauty of it at a glance, and he admires the uncle for coming up with such a good idea. There is hope."

Xue Qiu didn't speak, but just watched the reaction of the two, and his heart was filled with joy.After all, this is what I worked so hard to come up with.

"Master, what should we do with those Qiangu?" Shopkeeper Xu asked.

Shopkeeper Li pricked up his ears when he heard this, and was ready to listen carefully to what the uncle said.

In fact, the method Xue Qiu gave boils down to improving the grade.The restaurant has four floors. Xue Qiu intends that the price on the first floor is relatively low for ordinary guests; the price on the second floor is higher for officials and students; If no one can answer some of the questions given by the restaurant, just wait until they are answered.

At the same time, the restaurant also has to introduce new dishes, not the best but the most expensive. If the price is set high, the grade will also rise.Of course, the handyman and others in the restaurant should also improve their quality accordingly, so that they can handle some troublesome disputes well.

Xue Qiu smiled, but in the eyes of Shopkeeper Xu and the others, this smile seemed a little unfathomable.

"Don't worry, I'm not just talking casually! When you are ready, I will tell you the first topic." Xue Qiu put down the white porcelain teacup in his hand.

Xue Qiu remembered one more thing, and reminded: "Don't forget to invite a few guards to prevent anyone from disturbing the situation." Xue Qiu said here, thinking that he should also find a master to learn boxing kung fu. To be able to defend oneself.

So he asked shopkeeper Xu: "Shopkeeper Xu, do you know some boxing masters?"

When shopkeeper Xu heard this, he was surprised and said: "Why, master wants to learn martial arts? I'm afraid my wife won't agree." Zhuqing Baixia and others were also surprised, why would master want to learn martial arts?

"It's not about learning martial arts, it's just about strengthening your body. I'll talk to my mother about it. There's no rush for this matter. You and Li, the deputy shopkeeper, should do it well first."

Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Li agreed, promising to do well.

Out of the main hall, shopkeeper Li asked: "Shopkeeper Xu, where do you think the master is eternal?"

Shopkeeper Xu shook his head, "We can't control these things. The old man told us that he will tell us when the time comes. First, do what the old man told you. Hey! The old man has knowledge, so you can rest in peace!"

Shopkeeper Li also nodded, feeling a little thankful that the uncle let him go, and thinking in his heart that he must repay the uncle well.

In the main hall, Bai Xia couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Master, what is eternal absolute?" Zhu Qing also looked at Xue Qiu curiously.

Xue Qiu looked like an expert outside the world, shook his head and said: "Don't say it, don't say it!"
