Chapter 545 Do you want me to come, or don’t you want me to come?

Just when Lou Xiao'e wanted to continue asking Cao Zhiqiang some things about food for the sky, a voice suddenly appeared.

"Lou Xiao'e? You, why are you here? Didn't you leave?"

Cao Zhiqiang turned around and saw that it was indeed He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu was standing at the door of the office, staring at Lou Xiao'e dumbfounded, his eyes were all on her, and he didn't even notice Cao Zhiqiang and Cao Jiajia next to him.

Seeing this situation, Cao Zhiqiang and Cao Jiajia looked at each other, and then stood up in unison.

"Aunt Lou, you guys talk first." Cao Zhiqiang took the lead and said with a smile, "I have something else to do and I'm leaving first. If you have anything to ask, just ask my sister. She is more familiar with this place than me."

"Yes, yes." Cao Jiajia followed, "Aunt Lou, if you need anything, just come to me directly. I...ah, by the way, there are a lot of things to do in the store. I have to go out and be busy, so you guys can talk first.

"

Lou Xiao'e didn't even look at He Yuzhu. She smiled and nodded directly at Cao Zhiqiang: "Okay, you guys go and do your work. I'll take a look here myself. If anything happens, I'll just ask Jiajia."

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I'll leave first."

After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang and Cao Jiajia walked to the door hand in hand, smiled and nodded to He Yuzhu: "Uncle He, here you go, it's quite early today."

"Ah, yes." He Yuzhu rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"I have something to do outside and I have made an appointment." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I will leave first. Uncle He, you are busy."

After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang left first.

Cao Jiajia blinked at He Yuzhu and then said: "I have to go check the hygiene. You can entertain Aunt Lou for me first."

"Hey, okay." He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly again.

Cao Jiajia smiled and then left.

After Cao Zhiqiang and Cao Jiajia left one after another, and only He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe were left in the room, He Yuzhu walked over with a smile: "Xiao'e, you..."

"Don't get me wrong!" Lou Xiao'e looked down at the account book, not looking at He Yuzhu at all, and said with a straight face, "I didn't stay here for you, I stayed for business!"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head sadly: "Yes, business, I forgot that you are the big boss now."

Suddenly, He Yuzhu thought of something and raised his head with a frown: "Wait, business? Are you planning to invest in this restaurant?"

Lou Xiao'e put down her account book, raised her head and looked at He Yuzhu coldly: "Why, can't you? Are you the one who opened this store?"

"That's not true." He Yuzhu chuckled and wiped his knees, "That's right, that's it. No, how did you fall in love with this restaurant?"

"Because this restaurant is popular and makes money." Lou Xiao'e said.

"That's true." He Yuzhu nodded quickly, "The business of this restaurant is indeed good. There are so many people coming to eat, and it does make money!"

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes: "You don't need to tell me, I can read it."

"That's that." He Yuzhu rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e glanced sideways at He Yuzhu and said coldly: "What do you think? Do you want me to invest here, or do you not want me to invest here?"

"This, this..." He Yuzhu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm just a cook, not a boss, so it doesn't matter what I say."

"Let me ask you." Lou Xiao'e stared into He Yuzhu's eyes, "Do you want me to come, or don't you want me to come?"

"I, I..." He Yuzhu hesitated and lowered his head, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"Don't you want me to come?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

He Yuzhu quickly raised his head and waved his hand: "No, no, no, no."

"So you want me to come?" Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and smiled.

He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly: "Well, if you think it's good, then of course it's no problem."

"Then you have to think about it." Lou Xiao'e continued to stare at He Yuzhu and said, "If I come to invest, I will probably buy this restaurant and become the big boss of this restaurant. By then, you will work under me.

, are you sure it’s okay?”

"What questions can I have?" He Yuzhu chuckled.

"I'm just a cook, and I'm only 10% dry, so I can't make decisions.

Anyway, if you really buy this restaurant and become the big boss here, then of course you have the final say.

If you tell me to keep doing it, I will keep doing it. If you want to see me as an eyesore and don't like it, I'll just leave."

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu with a half-smile: "If I really become the boss here and want you to stay here, will you stay?"

"Of course." He Yuzhu said, "But we have to follow the old rules. The salary and so on cannot be changed."

"Of course there is no problem." Lou Xiao'e stared at He Yuzhu and said, "I mean, if I want to become the boss here and keep you, will Qin Huairu agree? Will I ask you to resign from here again?

ah?"

He Yuzhu blinked: "Well, well, if we don't let her know, then it's over."

"I knew you would say that!" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu, "Because I know that you are very good at lying! As long as you don't want others to know, this person will definitely not know. I have learned this many times myself.

Yes, right?"

He Yuzhu was stunned: "Are you praising me or hurting me? Okay, I'll just take it as a good word."

After smiling, as if to change the subject, He Yuzhu asked directly: "What, are you really planning to buy this place?"

"I do have this plan." Lou Xiao'e nodded, "The location here is very good, and the reputation has been established. And judging from the books, the business is quite good and has great investment value.

If I can buy it, I plan to buy the house next to it, expand it, renovate it, and renovate it, and the business should be even better."

"That's right!" He Yuzhu slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "I'm telling you, it's right here. Business is very good now. Customers line up every day. New people come to the tables here just after the customers leave.

Extremely busy and simply not enough.

If we can take over the house next to it, open it up, and add one or two more tables, chairs, and benches, then the business will definitely be taken to the next level."

"Is the business really so good?" Lou Xiao'e asked deliberately, "Aren't you guys working together to deceive me?"

"How can that be possible?" He Yuzhu said, "If you don't believe it, you can stay and take a look! It will be noon later, and you will know if you stay and take a look.

As soon as 11:30 arrived, the people who came to eat at Wuyang Wuyang were just like the factory canteen. The seats were filled in an instant, and people had to queue up outside.

Have you noticed the row of horses outside the gate?

Those are all prepared for customers queuing up.

After finishing queuing, I took my number plate outside and then sat on the pony to wait.

We also prepared tea for them, and they drank tea and chatted, slowly waiting for their number to be called, and when called, they went in to eat."

"Still calling?" Lou Xiao'e was stunned.

"Of course." He Yuzhu said, "This is also Cao Zhiqiang's invention. This guy has a very lively mind and is very clever. As soon as this method came out, many people were willing to wait."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, and then asked doubtfully: "Then when you brought me here last time, why was there no one here?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "It was different last time. Last time, you happened to be lucky. The place was closed for one day."

"Business is so good and why is it closed?" Lou Xiao'e frowned.

He Yuzhu nodded: "Last time you brought your son here, it was like this. It was Cao Zhiqiang. He just came back from Japan. He wanted to bring his partner. Oh, yes, he called his girlfriend now. Take his girlfriend back to hang out.

Open the door, recognize it, and have a family dinner.

Then, this place has been busy since it opened until now, and has not had a break, so Cao Jiajia, Cao Zhiqiang's sister, who is also the manager here, decided to close the business for a day, and everyone went to have a holiday.

Anyway, the siblings Cao Jiajia and Cao Zhiqiang are now rich and rich, and they don't care about this half-day business.

According to what others say, you can make money anytime, but family ties are the most important.

So, last time we were having a family dinner, we were closed for the day, so when I brought you here, the place was empty."

"That's it." Lou Xiao'e nodded.

He Yuzhu chuckled, and then asked softly: "What, if you really think this place is good and you really invest here, will you stay?"

"Of course." Lou Xiao'e glanced at He Yuzhu, "If I really plan to buy this place, I will definitely stay, but not for you. Don't be sentimental."

"That's right, that's right, that's impossible." He Yuzhu chuckled.

"Humph, you're so playful and smiling." Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu again, "It's still the same as before, not in shape!"

"Hehehe." He Yuzhu smiled, "At this age, I can't change anything."

Lou Xiao'e said: "Is there anything else? If nothing happens, go ahead and do your work. I have to read the information."

After speaking, Lou Xiaoe picked up the account book again.

He Yuzhu blinked, then turned his eyes and said: "Hey, Lou Xiao'e, are you doing an inspection?"

"Yes." Lou Xiao'e said casually.

"How about I take you around?" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "When you came here last time, I didn't take you around here carefully. Now it's just right. The hotel hasn't opened yet and all the employees are here.

Okay, everything is being prepared, why not let me take you around.

Your on-the-spot investigation is better than anything else."

"You? Take me around?" Lou Xiao'e looked up at He Yuzhu, "Aren't you afraid of others gossiping?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of." He Yuzhu said with a smile, "You are a big boss here to invest. I will show you around. If you need anything, I can tell you nothing."

"I don't care, as long as you're not afraid." Lou Xiao'e smiled half-heartedly.

"That's right." He Yuzhu stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go now. Let's go to the kitchen first, and I'll take you through it bit by bit."

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly, then stood up slowly, followed He Yuzhu slowly out of the office, and went for field inspections.

Although it was nothing on the surface, Lou Xiaoe knew that when she was with He Yuzhu, her heartbeat accelerated again, and she seemed to be back to her youth again.

By the time He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e walked around the restaurant one by one, it was almost time for the opening.

Because she had been reminded by Cao Zhiqiang in advance, Cao Jiajia specially came to He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e, smiled and said to He Yuzhu: "Uncle He, we will be opening soon. As you know, there are usually no big customers during lunch.

It's mainly ordinary customers and takeaways, so your apprentices can handle it enough.

Well, I'm definitely not free anymore, so you should come and stay with Aunt Lou and receive her well, is that okay?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "No problem, no problem, I'll just receive you."

Cao Jiajia smiled, then turned to Lou Xiao'e and said: "Aunt Lou, I won't accompany you for a while, and I will let Uncle He accompany you to look around. If you have any questions, you can ask him directly. He is also very familiar with this place."

, you know no less than me, especially the kitchen, you know much more than me, do you think this is okay?"

"Of course it's no problem." Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded.

Cao Jiajia then smiled and said, "That's it."

After speaking, Cao Jiajia returned to the front desk and asked the waiter to open the door.

Lou Xiao'e followed He Yuzhu to a corner next to the restaurant's door, just in time to observe the business situation at noon.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, many people lined up to come in to eat. They had obviously been queuing outside for a long time.

Seeing so many people holding number plates and filing in under the guidance of the waiter, occupying all the seats in the lobby in an instant, Lou Xiao'e subconsciously opened her mouth.

She really didn't expect so many people to come just after opening at noon.

Fortunately, there are enough waiters here, and there is also a queuing and calling mode, so it can be well organized and not chaotic.

In fact, this kind of situation also exists in Hong Kong, but it only happens in a few well-known time-honored restaurants. But even those time-honored restaurants that are overcrowded do not have people calling their names and queuing up from the beginning.

What surprised Lou Xiao'e even more was that there were actually many foreigners coming to dine.

There are not only white people with big noses, but also some Japanese who obviously speak Japanese.

When Lou Xiao'e asked, He Yuzhu explained: "Actually, it was not like this here at the beginning, but since a few foreigners ate here and said it tasted particularly good, they happened to be met by a newspaper reporter, and it was published in the newspaper.

Cao Zhiqiang struck while the iron was hot and contacted people from China National Travel Service, and it became a recommended tourist restaurant.

Nowadays, foreigners who come to Beijing through international travel will basically come here to try something new, and they usually come here to eat at noon, avoiding the evening.

So, there are a lot of foreigners here at noon."

"Why is this?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

He Yuzhu explained: "Because most of the people here go to work at noon and usually eat in the workplace canteen. There are not many people who can come here to eat at this time. On the contrary, those foreigners who come for tourism have plenty of time and can come here at noon.

Have a meal.

In addition, this is a restaurant recommended by foreigners, so at noon, foreign tour groups usually come to eat, mostly Japanese, and then various overseas Chinese from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

On the contrary, in the evening, foreigners usually don't come here. It's local people who come to eat, especially some big leaders, who come here to eat.

What’s this called? By the way, off-peak management.”

Lou Xiao'e smiled softly: "Experience of peak shifting? Who told you? Cao Zhiqiang?"

"Yes, that's him." He Yuzhu nodded.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the crowded but not crowded lobby and nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that this Cao Zhiqiang has a lot of business acumen."

"Yes." He Yuzhu sighed, "How about someone else become a big boss? Their brains are indeed different from ours."

Speaking of this, He Yuzhu sighed again: "Today's young people are really amazing!"
