The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 368 The tavern is closed

After hearing Cai Quanwu's words, Mr. Niu turned to look at the counter: "Yan Jiecheng, let's discuss it with you. I'll keep the accounts for Mr. Niu and settle them together at the end of the month. Do you agree?"

"What's wrong with this? Who are you, Mr. Niu? Who doesn't know this on this street? Not to mention the end of the month, the end of the year. If you come to our place for dinner, you are giving us face."

Yan Jiecheng knew that the reason why Mr. Niu borrowed money was not because he didn't have money. What he wanted was face. His ancestor was an authentic member of the Eight Banners. Although he was in poverty now, he could just take out any of the gadgets at home and it would be enough for him to eat and drink.

several months.

"Have you heard, this is the face that I, Mr. Niu, have gained over the past few decades?" Mr. Niu suddenly felt proud after hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, and immediately smiled and said to the people next to him.

"Hey, Yan Jiecheng, you guys can't treat us differently. Since Mr. Niu can give us credit, he has to give us credit." The people around him shouted.

"I said, what are you guys making fun of? You can compare with Mr. Niu. Mr. Niu is not short of money and this is what he wants. What about you? If I really want to give you credit, the restaurant won't pay for it.

Die." The film master saw the crowd cheering and said.

"I asked Yan Jiecheng, why is there no wine in your hotel?" Mr. Niu didn't pay attention to everyone's heckles and asked as he looked at the furnishings in the restaurant.

"Isn't there a tavern next to this place? It's so close to us. If we sell alcohol, it won't hurt other people's business."

"Yes, you are thoughtful and a person who does big things. Okay, I won't stay any longer. There is still some unfinished wine in the tavern next door. Let's see you later." After saying this, Mr. Niu and Mr. Pian said

The person went back to the tavern directly with the packed meal.

At this time, many people in the tavern had bought food from Yan Jiecheng's restaurant and were drinking and eating the food. The whole room was filled with the aroma of food.

Looking at the situation in the room, He Yongqiang stood on the counter and gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking that the newly opened canteen next door was aimed at their family.

"Hey, don't mention it. The food in the small canteen next door is really good. It's not worse than the food in those big restaurants." Mr. Niu put a piece of braised pork into his mouth and said while chewing.

"I haven't heard that they hired any famous chef in the store? Who made this? Mr. Niu, you are the one among us who have eaten before. Can you tell which restaurant's chef made this?

Well."

"I can't taste it, but it tastes like the cooking techniques of authentic Sichuan cuisine. There are only a few good restaurants in Beijing that make Sichuan cuisine. Most of them are Beijing-style Sichuan cuisine. It's really rare to find such authentic Sichuan cuisine." Niu Ye said.

He thought about it while eating the food and said.

He Yongqiang, who was standing on the counter, became even more angry when he heard the crowd's discussion. He shouted directly: "From now on, you are not allowed to bring food when you come to the tavern to drink. Our tavern is a place for drinking. If you want to eat, go somewhere else."

"

"Hey, He Yongqiang, are you just looking for trouble? I've shortchanged you or something. I paid you for drinking. What's wrong with bringing some food? If your family doesn't have it, why don't you let me bring it?"

After hearing what He Yongqiang said, Mr. Niu immediately became unhappy. This was obviously directed at him. How could he endure it if he was such a face-conscious person?

But He Yongqiang didn't care whether he wanted to save face or not. When his temper got louder, he would dare to confront even his own father, let alone Mr. Niu. He directly said:

"Anyway, you are not allowed to bring food when you are drinking in our tavern from now on. These are the rules. You can come if you want to, but I don't ask you if you don't."

"Okay, as long as you say this, I, Mr. Niu, will not come to your house from now on." After saying this, Mr. Niu threw the small wine glass on the table and walked out.

"Wait a minute, I won't stop you from leaving, but you have to pay the debt you owe our tavern during this period." He Yongqiang thought that everyone was offended anyway, and he didn't care if he offended more, so he faced everyone in front of everyone.

He started to ask for debts from Mr. Niu, as if Mr. Niu owed money and refused to pay.

"Okay, okay, you He Yongqiang, you are trying to embarrass me, Mr. Niu. Who doesn't know that Mr. Niu never brings money with me when I go out? I promised to settle the bill for you at the end of the month. It's only been more than half a month since you started.

Want money from me? Does your father know?"

Mr. Niu was so angry that he was speechless. After all, he wanted to meet someone like this, and He Yongqiang chased him for money in public, as if he deliberately refused to give him money.

"Don't mention my father to me. I am the owner of the tavern now. I have the final say. Didn't you say you won't come to our tavern in the future? Then please pay me the money quickly. Including today's payment, there are seven

Eighty-two cents." He Yongqiang showed no mercy at all, and with a straight face, he reached out and asked Mr. Niu to give the money in person.

Seeing that there was a lot of excitement to be seen, everyone turned their attention, and no one stood up to persuade them to make peace. They all looked like they were just watching the excitement and it was not a big deal.

"What if I don't give it today?" So many people said, looking at Mr. Niu's loss of dignity, with a cold face.

"Humph, if you don't give me money, you won't be able to go out like this."

"I don't have any money, what can you do to me?"

Hearing what Master Niu said, He Yongqiang looked at Master Niu up and down and said, "It's better if you don't have money. I think your coat is pretty good. If I suffer a little loss, I can use it to pay for half a month's worth of drinks."

"I say He Yongqiang, don't push yourself too far. Mr. Niu comes to your place to drink just to give your father face. Go and call your father out. If you have anything to do, ask your father to come over and tell you. We can't talk to you."

Seeing that He Yongqiang had held Master Niu back, the film master was a little embarrassed, so he quickly said, after all, he was the one who managed to get Master Niu to buy food next door. It was impossible for him to just stand there and act like a coward if something happened.

If he does this, no one will care about him in the future.

"What's the matter with you? If you want to get ahead, then you have to pay Niu's drink money. If you don't have money, just stay there. Don't be shameless." I don't know what happened to He Yongqiang today.

Get angry with people when you see them.

"Okay, your kid is planning to completely fall out with Mr. Niu. Mr. Pian, please go next door and find Yan Jiecheng. Tell him that Mr. Niu borrowed ten yuan from him and will give it to him along with the meal money at the end of the month.

past."

Seeing He Yongqiang's resolute attitude, Mr. Niu asked him for money and had no other choice. After all, it was only natural to pay back the debts. He wouldn't listen to him even if he went to hell, but he didn't have any money with him, so he could only let the film master

Go next door to ask Yan Jiecheng to borrow some money to make some money.

After hearing what Mr. Niu said, Mr. Pian went out to Yan Jiecheng's restaurant without saying anything. After all, the two restaurants were separated by a wall. Yan Jiecheng could basically hear what happened in the tavern, but he couldn't hear it very clearly.

.

When the film master came over, Yan Jiecheng took out ten yuan and handed it over before he could say anything.

The film master was a little embarrassed and took the money. He said thank you and hurried out. When he returned to the tavern, he gave the money to Mr. Niu.

Mr. Niu took the money and threw it directly in He Yongqiang's face: "Let's settle everything, let's find the change."

He Yongqiang took ten yuan and started to give change to Mr. Niu angrily. He did this mainly because he wanted to give Mr. Niu a show of strength, because he knew that Mr. Niu usually didn't take money with him when he went out, but he didn't expect that.

Someone actually lent him money.

Seeing Mr. Niu walking out of the tavern with his change, everyone threw their glasses on the table and followed him out.

The reason why everyone was silent just now was mainly because they had no money in their pockets. After all, the people who can come here to drink are ordinary people. It is usually good to have a few cents in their pockets. Come to the tavern and drink two ounces of wine mixed with water.

, we chatted for a long time and couldn’t even order a snack.

For them, seven or eight yuan is a month's expense. Who can carry so much money in their pocket?

He Yongqiang was a little dumbfounded when he saw everyone leaving. After all, he had only been in the capital for a short time. The tavern had always been managed by Lao He. During this time, Lao He was not in good health and his wife was also pregnant, so he brought Xiao

The tavern was put into his hands.

Unexpectedly, within a few days of working, all the customers were gone. If his father knew that it was because of him, he wouldn't be punished to death.

So after much deliberation, he could only blame the problem on their wine, and told his father that everyone disliked their wine being watered down, so no one came.

Thinking of this, He Yongqiang immediately closed the tavern. There was no one in the tavern anyway, so it made no difference whether it was open or closed.

Next door, Yan Jiecheng was also preparing to go overseas. On the first day he opened his business, the business was pretty good and he sold out all the meals he made early. Fortunately, Yan Jiecheng had reserved the meals for the three of them in advance, otherwise the three of them would have been hungry.

Went home with a full stomach.

Before getting off work, Yan Jiecheng took stock of the accounts and found that they were pretty good. They made more than eight hundred dollars on the first day they opened, and this was because their restaurant was only open for half a day and only served dinner.

If it was open all day, I would probably earn dozens of dollars a day.

After counting the accounts, Yan Jiecheng put the account books in the cabinet and started eating with Cai Quanwu and Qiangzi.

After working for a long time, I was really hungry, so I picked up the steamed buns and started eating them.

"Xie Cheng, I didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious. Why haven't I heard you say that before? If we knew your cooking was so delicious, why should we go to a restaurant? We've wasted so much money and we haven't even cooked anything for you.

It's good." Qiangzi complained to Yan Jiecheng while eating the food.

"Hey, I was the only one in the family who was too lazy to do it before. If I didn't want to earn more money and save a wife, I wouldn't do this job of serving others." After hearing Qiangzi's words, Yan Jiecheng replied casually.

"No, Yan Jiecheng, you learned this from that. Why do I think it's better than the food in those big restaurants?" Qiangzi couldn't stop eating the food, which became more and more delicious. He hesitated before swallowing the food in his mouth.

asked.

Cai Quanwu on the side was very quiet, eating alone and not talking much. Others didn't know what he was thinking.

"It's passed down from our ancestors. Our family has been a cook since my great-grandfather's generation. I just have a good talent." Yan Jiecheng started to talk nonsense. Anyway, their family is dead and no one else knows what their family is like.

"Oh, really. I didn't expect that your family is a family of chefs. I really underestimated you. Oh, no, why were your family classified as poor peasants when the ingredients were determined? Normally, your family should be good at craftsmanship if they are so good.

Money." Qiangzi asked with some disbelief when he thought about the ingredients.

"I am the only one in our family who is good at craftsmanship. I am highly talented and self-taught. The others have average craftsmanship and just cook for others in the village. They mainly make a living by cultivating land for others. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come to the capital."

." Yan Jiecheng said nonsense.

"Yeah, that's right. Let's discuss it with you. When I open the transportation team, leave the work of buying vegetables and food in your store to me." Qiangzi finished his meal and put down the bowls and chopsticks.

Then he said to Yan Jiecheng, he saw that Yan Jiecheng had started his career, and he also wanted to start his own career quickly. Otherwise, he would have to rely on riding a three-wheel to find a wife, and it would take years of the monkey and horses and months.

"Okay, but Qiangzi, do you have enough capital? To drive a transport team, you have to buy three or four tricycles, and you have to hire people."

"Almost, my dad has sold the house in his hometown, and I still have a car now. I can buy three more cars, instead of new ones, just buy second-hand ones. At that time, I will deliver goods to various merchants in Dashilar.

.

By the way, Quan Wu, when the time comes, you can come over and help me. During the day, I ride a three-wheeler with me to deliver goods, and at night, you can come over and help Jiecheng Restaurant. Don’t worry, you will definitely earn more than you doing at the food station fighting against big bags." Qiangzi said.

He even patted Cai Quanwu on the shoulder, looking like he was about to become the big boss.

Cai Quanwu just lowered his head and said nothing, showing no emotion at all about Qiangzi's words.

"Okay, let's go back after eating. It's getting late. Go back and go to bed early. You two have to work tomorrow." After the meal, the three of them cleared away the bowls and chopsticks, Yan Jiecheng said.

For the next period of time, Yan Jiecheng rested at home in the morning and went to the restaurant to work in the afternoon. Anyway, he only cooked one meal a day until it was sold out.

It doesn't matter if he earns more or less, he doesn't care about the money, and the tavern has not been open during this period. Ever since Mr. Niu and He Yongqiang broke up, no one has gone to their tavern to drink.

After all, the reason for going to his tavern to drink is to make it more lively. If there are fewer people, no one will want to go.

The business of Yan Jiecheng's small restaurant is not bad. It cooks a lot more food than before, otherwise it would not be enough to sell. It can earn more than ten yuan every day. Yan Jiecheng is quite content. Anyway, having more money is of no use.

Just spend enough.

After making money, it’s natural to change your travel tools. Fortunately, you don’t need a bicycle ticket to buy a bicycle. Yan Jiecheng quickly took the money and went to the department store to pick up a Feige brand 28 large backpack.

During the day, Yan Jiecheng rode his bicycle and wore a Chinese tunic suit and wandered around the streets and alleys, and at night he went to restaurants to cook.

During this time, Qiangzi's transportation team was almost ready. His father sold the house in his hometown to Qiangzi for a few hundred yuan and bought three second-hand tricycles. However, Cai Quanwu did not quit his temporary job at the grain station.

I went to work on the Qiangzi Tricycle, and I don’t know if it was because I wasn’t optimistic about the Qiangzi or something else.

Yan Jiecheng handed over the work of transporting grain and vegetables in the store to Qiangzi. Anyway, it didn't cost much money a day, and he saved himself from running back and forth. Although there was space, he was not the only one in the store, and Yan Jiecheng was also afraid of being ganged up on.

Already.
