    When Chen Nianguan found out that the Liu family brothers bought a hundred acres of wasteland in Ping'er Village, it was already three days later, and they even got the title deed.

    It was when Liu Yun went to study in the study room that he saw his three brothers scribbling and drawing around the blueprints, so he heard it from their words.

    Immediately delighted.

    When he saw Chen Nianguan, he told Chen Nianguan about his brothers building a house in Pinger Village.

    Chen Nianguan Listen, good guy!

    These cousins are very fast!

    That Ping'er village has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it is indeed a suitable place to open up wasteland, otherwise she would not have bought 50 mu of wasteland and put it there first.

    great minds think alike Ah!

    After listening to Liu He's plan, Chen Nianwan almost didn't like this cousin.

    If he didn't mention it, she still had to find firewood temporarily. Now that Liu He has successfully solved this job, isn't it amazing!

    "Hey, since that's the case, the purchasing supervision at the other end of Ping'er Village can continue to be handed over to cousin Liu He."

    After all, Liu He is now coordinating the work of Ping'er Village, and then he will take over the work of purchasing Shi Cunqi's farmland, won't he just buy the chief steward?

    "What about me, what about me?" Liu Feng asked, pointing at himself.

    "You are all partners. Naturally, wherever there is a shortage of manpower, you can go there to help." Chen Nianguan didn't know that he had slipped his mouth.

    Before she said it, neither Liu Qing nor Liu He knew that Liu Feng was a partner of the restaurant. After she said it, Liu Qing and Liu He looked at him together, shocked: "Are you a partner of the restaurant?"

    "Where did you get the money to invest?"

    Then the two looked at Chen Nianguan and said in unison: "How much is one share? How many shares did he buy?"

    After hearing that they bought one share, and one share was only two thousand taels, the two elder brothers gasped.

    Liu Feng chuckled, completely unafraid.

    Originally, he didn't intend to hide this matter, and he couldn't hide it anyway.

    "Where did he get the money? Cousin, did you give it to him?" Liu He still doesn't know how many coins are in Liu Feng's pocket?

    The profits since the opening of the main store's west store are all recorded in the ledger. Among the several Liu family lords, he earns the least.

    So I can't afford two thousand taels of dry stock at all.

    But he turned out to be a partner, so there was only one possibility left, and it was a gift from my cousin.

    If it is true that Liu Feng is the only one to be sent and they are not considered, then the cousin will be a bit biased.

    "I didn't give it away, he bought it, and he borrowed two thousand taels of silver to buy it." Chen Nianguan quickly explained.

    So, the two elder brothers looked at their younger brother again, and surrounded him from left to right.

    "Xiaofeng, you are so courageous, how dare you borrow two thousand taels?"

    "Who wants to borrow him? Are you going to borrow usury?"

    "Not at all." Liu Feng rolled his eyes, underestimated his social network, didn't he?

    "I met an old man. He is Master Minghai's best buddy. He is in a good relationship. Master Minghai acted as a guarantor, so Xiao Qiye lent me two thousand or two thousand." Liu Feng held his head high, with a look of air on his face.

    Look, this is a real man who dares to think and do big things.

    Liu Feng helped her cousin deliver food to Master Ming Hai at the Grand Buddhist Temple. Liu Qing knew about it, but she didn't know when her younger brother met a Xiao Seventh Master and was willing to borrow so much money at once!

    So asked Chen Nianguan for confirmation. Chen Nianguan nodded and told them that Xiao Seventh Master is also a partner of the restaurant and has Master Ming Hai as a guarantee. He is a good person with a good character.

    "But you owe so much money, how do you plan to repay the debt?"

    Two thousand taels, not two hundred taels.

    "Hmm, huh!" Liu Feng glanced at his elder brother proudly, with his nostrils upturned, "I, I sold a lot of down clothes for my cousin today, and I am saving money, when I get the second payment,I can probably get together two thousand taels, so I can pay off the debt?"

    "You, earn so much?" Liu He couldn't believe it.

    How long has my cousin been making down clothes for a living?Can he earn two thousand taels?

    "Um, well, it's true, our down is to take the high-end route, and then, well, Xiaofeng met a lot of nobles and rich people at the Grand Buddhist Temple, so he can indeed earn so much." Chen Nianguan spoke for Liufeng, after all, at the beginning,But thanks to the three thousand taels that Liu Feng found, she was able to save enough money to buy a shop, otherwise, how could she rebuild the restaurant so quickly?

    Of course she didn't know that most of the downs sold by Liu Feng were sold to the fathers-in-law in the palace.

    Otherwise, she would have to investigate Liu Feng's so-called steward Liu as a New Year gift and what happened to the rich brothers and sisters?

    Come on, even the cousin/cousin talked to her brother, Liu Qing had nothing to say to Liu He, and looked at Liu Feng with envy and hatred.

    Twelve thousand taels, the more expensive the dry stock, it means more profits in the future!

    This little brother is fine, he ran ahead of them without making a sound.

    Liu Qing grabbed her younger brother's shoulder and scratched: "Xiaofeng, you can do it, I can't tell, you are the most promising one in our family!"

    "That's not it!" Liu Feng was arrogant.

    Liu Qing twitched the corner of her mouth, and immediately wanted to pinch her younger brother's neck, but Liu Feng cleverly avoided it.

    Now that the two elder brothers know that they are carrying a huge debt, they also know that in order to pay off the huge debt, they helped their cousin sell down clothes, so Liu Feng did not shy away from saving a sum of money in front of Liu Hesilver thing.

    Hmph, now the money he saves is used to pay off his debts, and no one can get his way.

    Liu Feng did the math, and when the time came, he would go to Xiao Seventh Master for two thousand taels, and then buy another hill, and he would still have more than a thousand taels of money on hand.

    Well, he is still a little rich man!

    Liu Feng happily falls asleep with the money bag in his arms.

    Liu He entered the wing room and saw Liu Feng who was sleeping with a big purse in his arms, shook his head, covered him with a duvet and quilt, and lay down.

    It is hard to calm down in my heart.

    He is the eldest son of the third family, and he is also the one who should stand up in the third family. Compared with Liu Feng, who is about the same age as him, he claims that he is much better than Liu Feng in terms of dealing with people.

    In the head office and the west store, he got 10% of the dry shares, so he has always earned the most money among the brothers, even if 60% is distributed to the public, the rest of the money is kept by himself.It's not like Liu Shan and Liu Chi, who have to hand it over to the first part of their respective rooms.

    Before he came to Beijing, he knew that his cousin brought his younger sister to Capital City just to open a restaurant, and he also knew that 10% of the shares in the restaurant would be reserved for his younger sister.

    So he also saved his mind to be a partner of his cousin's restaurant, and brought all the money he had saved over the years.

    But I didn't expect that I was late.

    Otherwise, I would definitely be like Liu Feng, even if I borrowed money, I would have to buy 10% and 15% of it.

    So today, when heard that Liu He actually had 10% of the shares, couldn't help being jealous, and then learned that he had borrowed two thousand taels from Da La La, was shocked, shocked by his boldness, and just as sympathy poured out, heard againLiu Feng made more than a thousand taels of money from selling down clothes, and soon he could pay off his debts, and that jealousy welled up.

    Tch, if I had come to Capital City earlier...

    But if he came to Capital City one step earlier, would he really be able to borrow two thousand taels?

    Liu He examined his own abilities, and felt that it should be impossible, and gradually calmed down.

    Hey, no.

    Not everyone has the courage to borrow two thousand taels. After all, although their entire Liu family is much better off now than before, but if the money of several people is added up, it is probably only about a thousand taels.

    What's more, even if he has the courage to borrow it, he is not familiar with life in the capital, so who can he borrow such a large sum of money?Who wants to borrow it?

    After tidying up his mood, Liu He's mood calmed down, he turned his head, saw Liu Feng's sleeping face, couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his nose, saw his little cousin blushing in his sleep, and then opened his mouth to let in the wind,Before waking up, he couldn't help laughing to himself.

    Hey, whose little cousin is so lucky?

    Own!

    He doesn't have this kind of luck anymore, so let's keep our feet on the ground and step by step!

    In two days, the winter solstice is here in Capital City.

    Chen Nianguan gave the guys who were remodeling the store a holiday and asked them to go home for the holidays, leaving only a few guards hired by Shi Cunqi from the Escort to live in the backyard of the restaurant to watch the yard.

    Shi Cunqi already knew that Chen Nianguan had bought the shop next door to renovate the high-rise building. Afraid of lack of manpower, he hired two more veterans to put it in the backyard.

    Cang Monan let go of the shopkeeper after the renovation of the restaurant, and it always snows, so he seldom comes here.

    When Chen Nianguan returned to Xianggui Street with Carpenter He and the two beasts, Zeng Si also returned from the academy. During the winter solstice, the masters of the academy also gave the students a holiday.

    Not only that, the Imperial College also took a break, and Chen Nianjian and his son had nowhere to go, so they naturally came to bother their cousin and husband.

    Chen Feng looked embarrassed when he saw his niece, Chen Nianguan didn't care too much, it was just a simple meal, for the sake of his cousin, besides, Chen Feng hasn't been a monster recently, so it's not impossible to let go of personal grievances temporarily.

    So the yard suddenly became lively.

    Naturally, there must be good food and drink during the festival, and Chen Nianguan and Liu Yun have trained and trained the reserve cooks for a long time, and this time they will be useful. For a dinner on the night of the winter solstice, six chefs from one chefThe reserve team has been preparing to start early in the afternoon.

    Coincidentally, the cooking utensils brought back by Chen Nianguan have been useless before, and they can come in handy at this time.

    The banquet was placed in the spacious main room, and three tables were set up.

    The east seat was of course Chen Nianguan and his wife, followed by Zeng Si, Chen Nianjian, Liu Qing, Liu Feng, Liu He and Liu Yun, Si Ya, Xiao You, Grandpa Duan, and Carpenter He.

    The second seat was Chen Feng, the two beasts, two young apprentices of Carpenter He, Tian Daxiao and his wife, Du Juan and Ding Xiang, Sister-in-law Bai and Erya, and Tao Bo.

    At the last table were steward Qimu and Daohe, Zeng Si's entourage and two guards, three new embroiderers, and two new reserve cooks, the servants brought by Chen Nianjian.

    And the dishes are also very rich.

    Liu Yun and the reserve cooks brought the food first. Except for the main soup, which was a big pot of hot mutton bone soup and two big pots of dumplings, the rest of the food was placed in a steamer and moved to a table beside it., Even the two big beasts and the two guards went to help, and then moved in several big steamers.

    Those who had experience of eating seafood on a passenger ship with Chen Nianguan couldn't sit still, they came over one after another, gathered around the steamer, and couldn't help asking: "Master Chen, what is this?"

    "Eat." Chen Nianguan said, and lifted the lid of the big steamer, which was covered with a stack of four-storey small steamer, opened the top cover, and there were three small cakes inside., Pick up the pastry, there is a small cup of shredded pork in the next small steamer, two buns in the next small steamer, four dumplings in the next small steamer...

    Then Chen Nianguan introduced them like a few treasures: dry roasted siu mai, fried dumplings with scallops, red rice sausage, oyster pork buns, pork ribs with gold and silver black bean sauce, tangerine peel beef balls, waxy glutinous rice sausage...

    After Chen Nianguan finished speaking, Liu Yun went on to introduce them. They had introduced almost all the dim sum in the stacks of small steamers. Everyone looked at the dazzling array of food, their pupils trembled, and at the same time, their throats moved subconsciously, swallowing saliva.

    These foods, they are all, unheard of, unseen!

    So these past few days, Master Chen and Liu Yun taught these cooks to make these dim sum?

    Are there too many types?

    That's right, this is one of the delicacies that Chen's Restaurant will serve in the future. It is Chen Nianguan's favorite snack for morning tea in the previous life!

    It will become a major feature of the restaurant in the future!

    Today is the winter solstice, just to let the cooks practice their hands first, show a show!

    After Chen Nianguan finished speaking, he took whatever he liked and ate it, and everyone started to get the dim sum they wanted to eat when the two chefs introduced it.

    Immediately, stacks of high and low small steamers were placed in front of everyone on the three desks.

    People who tried this delicacy for the first time couldn't stop eating it.

    Originally, I saw that the portion of the dim sum was small, so I specially prepared two large pots of soup dumplings, which came in handy at the end. After everyone enjoyed the dim sum, the gentlemen who didn’t eat enough started to talk about the soup.Let's start with the dumplings.

    During the banquet, everyone admired the cooks and reserve staff who made these meals, and they also showed a little more respect to Liu Yun. As for Mr. Chen, they naturally only had five-body respect.

    No, not long ago, still remember the seafood gluttonous banquet that ate so much. Master Chen has come up with a new food. It’s amazing, Mr. Chen!

    Zeng Si was also completely overwhelmed by this feast, and said to Chen Nianguan: "Miss Chen, I think you were born to do this job! This Chen's restaurant can make all the ladies and ladies in Capital City look like this!I'm flocking to it."

    Isn't that right? Every piece of dim sum is small and exquisite, and the way of serving it is also fresh and unique, which is completely in line with the tastes of the ladies.

    Chen Nianguan smiled and thanked Zeng Si for being optimistic. Of course, she would not say clearly that her main consumer market was originally aimed at the wives and ladies in Capital City.

    Instead of competing with the established restaurants in Capital City for the old man consumer market, it is better to focus on the business of ladies and ladies.

    To enjoy morning tea, one needs to be free and rich. In Capital City, the largest group of leisure and money is naturally the wives and ladies of the big family, just like the consumer group of Tangshui shop.

    Besides, in the world, the place where Hou Xun's powerful wife and wives have the most women is naturally Capital City. Otherwise, why did she have to tear down the private room on the second floor and make it into a second lobby to accommodate more female dinersWoolen cloth?

    Chen Nianguan couldn't help but smile when he thought about the prosperous scene of the restaurant after it opened in the future.

    Hey, she, Master Chen, is here to earn money from people in Capital City, so she must earn money from the group with the most money in her pocket!

    This winter solstice, everyone in the courtyard of Xianggui Street was fed up, satisfied, and then fell asleep comfortably.

    After Chen Nianguan washed and washed, she also went back to the dormitory, and saw Zhang Erlang looking at her with a smile on her face.

    "Husband!"

    Before Chen Nianguan could get closer, Zhang Erlang reached out to embrace her.

    "Wan Wan!"

    Wan Wan of his family is really an incredible lady.

    There are endless ideas for making a living, and there are countless types of food that he can eat. How can he find such a smart lady?

    Chen Nianguan didn't resist either, and slid into his husband's arms, also smiling: "How about it, husband, do you think the restaurant I open can make money?"

    "Yes, definitely." Zhang Erlang stroked his wife's hair lightly, nodding in affirmation.

    Chen Nianguan was excited. By the way, he explained the business model of the restaurant after its opening to his husband with great interest. Zhang Erlang was very careful until he heard that Chen Nianguan would make a menu. When placing an order for each table, he would also print a specialThe order paper used to place the order, and then when the waiter is called to deliver the food, just use the seal to write it down, and then make a sound.

    "Use a seal to print the snacks taken by diners?"

    "That's right."

    Chen Nianguan thinks he????? This design is wonderful, and it must be one in Capital City.

    This is the same as when went to the Cantonese restaurant for morning tea in previous life. When placed an order, each dim sum will be divided into small, medium, large, special, fine and apex. The price of each level of dim sum is the same, and then giveCustomers who eat have an order form. Every time they want a dim sum, they will stamp the corresponding dots, midpoints, etc. numbers on the order form according to the price of the dim sum they take. When they pay the bill, how many will be calculated?No. How much money will do.

    easy and convenient.

    "I don't think so." Zhang Erlang shook his head.

    "why not?"

    Zhang Erlang's reason is very good. The cost of a piece of paper is not cheap. Considering the scale of the restaurant and the operating time, every time a table is changed, a piece of paper will be consumed. This is not a small expense. Secondly, the sealIt must also be engraved first, but when it is used, the ink must be brought on when serving. How to install the ink?Ink on site?Diners have this patience?Moreover, after engraving on the paper, the ink does not dry out immediately. If one is not careful, will the entire order paper be stained?

    Moreover, the price of ink is not cheap, not to mention the time-consuming implementation of this method, the combination of these two items alone is a considerable expense.

    "Yes!" Chen Nianguan suddenly realized, he didn't expect that he didn't think of the details in this aspect.

    Sure enough, one person counts short, and two counts long.

    Just like before, the firewood problem she didn't consider was also made up for by Liu He's discovery.

    "Then husband, think about it, is there any way to replace my way?"

    Zhang Erlang thought for a while, "How about making some bamboo chips?"

    According to the price of dim sum, make bamboo chips of different lengths, and these bamboo chips can be polished.

    It is enough to create a bamboo tube specially used for holding bamboo chips on each dining table.

    For the snacks that are ordered or taken away by diners, the waiter can put long or short bamboo chips in the bamboo tube according to the price. When the customer finally pays the bill, take away the bamboo tube, pour out the bamboo chips, calculate how many sticks, and correspond to the priceGeometry will do.

    After paying the bill, the bamboo tube can be put back on the desk, and the bamboo chips can be reused. Compared with paper, seal and ink orders, it is not only economical, but also saves trouble.

    "Ah, that's a good idea!" Chen Nianguan nodded, wrapping his hands around her husband's neck, "Yulang, you're smart too!"

    "Since I'm so smart, shouldn't my wife reward my husband with something?" Zhang Erlang curled his mouth and wrapped his arms around his wife's waist.

    "Should, should." Chen Nianwan smiled, reached out to caress her husband's handsome face, and touched it lightly with his lips.

    Zhang Erlang closed his eyes, and after a long time, he turned over and pressed her under him.

    The night of the winter solstice is especially relaxing.

    The next day, everyone went back to work, those who did their jobs did their jobs, and those who went to school went to school.

    Meilu Academy has given students a bath since the winter solstice, so Zeng Si moved back to Xianggui Street to live, and will not return to the academy to continue his studies until the sixth day after the New Year's Day, so he plans to study at home with Zhang Erlang.

    Chen Nianguan asked a few words about his situation in Meilu Academy, Zeng Si recalled that he was fattened and punished by Mrs. Chen, he was a little embarrassed, "Then Yang Jishan hasn't shown up in the academy for a long time, it is said that he is notShentu broke his leg, he is not here, and the young masters who were with him before also stopped, I am studying hard after not being harassed, but please rest assured, Mrs. Chen, I will definitely not do foolish things again."

    Chen Nianguan nodded: "Master Zeng must be very comforted by what you said today."

    Chen Nianjian and his son also came to bid farewell to Chen Nianguan with their servants.

    When Chen Nianjian came to Beijing, Chen Feng insisted on following him, saying that he would take care of his son in Capital City. In fact, Chen Nianjian spent most of his time in the Imperial College, while Chen Feng rented a farmhouse in the suburbs of Beijing.Find a job, use the money and silver given by the Chen clan, and live lazily.

    Now that the Imperial College Xiumu, Chen Nianjian naturally lives in that farmer's house, and he has very low requirements for his father, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, so he is allowed to go.

    This winter solstice, brought father to Xianggui Street, and also wanted to slowly ease the relationship with fourth cousin.

    Coming out of Xianggui Street, Chen Feng looked jealous, but he just thought about it and complained.

    "That fourth girl, when I was at home, I never saw her so capable."

    No, everyone praises her for her good cooking skills, and she has taught so many cooks, no wonder she can open restaurants in Capital City.

    And look at the Zhang Juren she married, who still has the money to rent such a large yard with so many people living in it!

    If she had known earlier that she had such a great fortune, back then...

    "My cousin was rescued by Master Ming Hai. My aunt said that after she was finally rescued, she was rescued and enlightened by Master Ming Hai, so she became smarter. Speaking of which, why did my cousin have an accident at the beginning?Dad, do you still remember?" Chen Nianjian reminded lightly when he saw the jealousy on his father's face.

    Chen Feng was embarrassed, glanced at his son, then lowered his head again.

    Remember, of course remember!

    However, it turned out that it was Master Ming Hai who saved the fourth girl!

    In Funing County, Master Ming Hai's reputation is not obvious, but in Capital City, Chen Feng has a deep understanding of what a master is.

    After he came to Capital City, he also went to the Grand Buddhist Temple. It is said that not everyone can see the eminent monk who has attained the Tao. The people who associate with this master are all dignitaries, and even saints betray him a little bit.noodle.

    Tut tut!

    Si Yatou was actually rescued by such a great person, if he was to find out why Si Yatou threw himself into the river...

    Chen Feng didn't dare to think about it, and immediately hid his jealousy.

    The fourth girl is now Juren's wife, she can't be offended!

    The fourth girl, Chen Nianguan, walked into the wing room after seeing off everyone, and Cang Monan hurried in through the hanging flower door in a panic, shouting: "Ms. Chen!"

    "It's Mr. Cang, what's the matter?"

    The two beasts from the side room next to the hanging flower door came out and asked.

    "Master Cang?" Chen Nianguan walked out.

    "It's not good, our restaurant ran out of water last night."
