Wei Han is a vigorous and resolute person in his work.
He stayed up for several days and perfected his medicinal diet formula to the extreme.
Then, in the middle of every month, when the pharmacy was giving out the monthly payment and having a holiday, I collected my 1 tael and 5 taels of monthly silver and headed straight to the east of the city.
Jufu Restaurant is located on Sihai Street in the east of the city.
This street is full of escort agencies, martial arts schools, ticket offices, and inns. There is also a large mule and horse trading market next to it. It is crowded with people every day and is very lively.
It covers an area of nearly two acres and has three courtyards.
In front is an antique three-story wooden loft.
At the back are some secluded single-room courtyards, with a quiet and elegant interior layout. There are rockeries and flowing water while walking, which gives a sense of tranquility amidst the chaos.
It can be seen that this place has been carefully decorated.
It's lunch time now, but there aren't many customers.
There were only a few tables of foreign merchants dining in the lobby on the first floor.
Wei Han disguised himself as a fierce-looking burly man and walked in with a swift stride. The two boys at the door immediately greeted him with smiles.
"Master, who are you?"
"Just me, find a secluded room."
"Okay, I'm a distinguished guest, please!"
Wei Han was politely led to a single room on the second floor by the boy.
Here you can have a commanding view of the backyard without being affected by the noise on the street in front. It is a good place.
"Master, what do you want to eat?"
The waiter asked and handed over a menu booklet.
Wei Han ordered seven or eight items at random and said, "Do you have any good medicinal food?"
"Of course!" The young man introduced enthusiastically: "Look, sir, we have eight kinds of medicinal foods, among which this Turtle, Snake, Deer Antler and Ginseng Soup is the best. It greatly replenishes qi and blood, and is definitely the favorite of warriors. Take one sip and keep it to refresh you.”
"The Cordyceps Sinensis Dragon Soup is also very good. It requires 36 kinds of precious medicinal materials to be boiled for three days and three nights before being served. Every portion is precious."
"Okay!" Wei Han nodded and said, "One portion of each."
"Okay, please drink tea first. The food will be here soon!" The boy became more enthusiastic.
"Wait a minute!" Wei Han raised his hand and said, "I heard that your shopkeeper is Xu Dabaotou's daughter? If you are free, can you please condescend to come over later and say that I have a deal to discuss with her? .”
"Ah? What are you doing?" The boy was a little confused.
"Go!" Wei Han said no more: "Tell her that if she wants to bring the restaurant back to life, she can come over and talk about it. If she's not interested, forget it. I'll leave after dinner."
"yes!"
The boy walked out confused.
After a while, dishes of delicious food were delivered.
There are also two large pots of hot medicinal food, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.
Wei Han tasted a few mouthfuls with interest, but couldn't help but frown.
"No wonder the business of this Jufu Restaurant is poor. The style looks good and the portions of the dishes are sufficient, but the taste is unsatisfactory."
"The medicinal food tastes bitter and mushy, the meat is thick and old, and several other dishes are also too thin. It can be seen that the chef has put a lot of effort into it, but it is a pity that he is not talented enough!"
Wei Han silently commented on the dishes while waiting for Xu Youran's arrival.
He believed that anyone who wanted to change the current situation of the restaurant would definitely come over and meet someone when he heard someone invited him to do so.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before there was a sound of footsteps.
A brave-looking young girl with bright eyes wearing a turquoise-purple skirt knocked on the door a few times and walked in, followed by a maid with a sword.
"I heard from my subordinates that the guest wants to meet the little girl?" The bright-eyed girl's voice was like an oriole, and she said with a smile: "The little girl's surname is Xu Youran. She is currently the shopkeeper of our store. I wonder if the guest has any advice?"
"Shopkeeper Xu, please take a seat!" Wei Han stood up and waved his hand and said, "I came here today to discuss a deal, which may be related to the life and death of your Jufu Restaurant. I wonder if Shopkeeper Xu is interested in chatting?"
"oh?"
Xu Youran showed a hint of surprise in response.
The maid behind her with the sword couldn't help but sneer.
"How dare cats and dogs speak so loudly?" She said disdainfully: "Our restaurant has been open for more than 20 years and has never closed down. You can decide its life or death with just one sentence?"
"Don't you know better than anyone why Jufu Restaurant has not closed down for more than 20 years?" Wei Han sneered casually: "Isn't it just that the Wuwei Escort Bureau family has a big business and is losing money every year, but in order to take care of the Escort Bureau boss? The livelihood of weak women and children has to be clenched and gritted to hold on?"
"In recent years, the surrounding states have become more and more chaotic, and the business of escort agencies has become difficult. How many people can your family finally take care of? There are probably more freeloaders than customers in the store now, right?"
The maid with the sword was choked and her face turned red.
I wanted to open my mouth to refute several times, but I didn’t know where to start.
Xu Youran is a smart woman. She listened quietly for a while and asked extremely seriously: "What do you mean, guest officer, that you have a way to bring the restaurant back to life?"
"Not bad!" Wei Han nodded confidently: "Three generations of my ancestors have been famous chefs, and they are very knowledgeable about various types of cooking and medicinal diets. I don't even pay attention to chefs of this level in the major restaurants in this county. . As long as I think about it, no matter how bad a restaurant is, it can be fanatically sought after by the foodies in the city."
"Sir, are you the chef?"
Xu Youran stood up excitedly, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
God knows how much time she has wasted over the years trying to find a good cook.
It's a pity that Qingshan County is only so big, and all the famous chefs are tightly controlled by major restaurants. Even if she spends a lot of money to dig out, no one would dare to jump here.
The business of Jufu Restaurant has been dragging on like this.
That's why she lost her composure when she heard Wei Han say that he was a famous chef.
"I'm not really a chef, I'm just a little better than the chefs in the big restaurants in this small place." Wei Han smiled modestly.
When Xu Youran heard this, he immediately said with surprise: "Great, I wonder what kind of cuisine sir is good at? Can you try the dishes? If you come to our restaurant, what kind of treatment would you like?"
"There's nothing to prove. Let's try a dish first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Wei Han didn't have the nerve to interrupt her thoughts, and he couldn't directly say that he didn't plan to be a cook. He could only wait until he tried the dishes before talking about anything else. .
"Okay, sir please!"
"Xiao Lu, go and inform the kitchen to make arrangements."
Xu Youran stood up with her skirt in hand and personally invited Wei Han to the kitchen.
The kitchen of Jufu Restaurant is located on the left side of the backyard. It is a large yard. There are more than 20 old and weak women and children picking and washing vegetables. There are also a few lame and amputated people cooking in the kitchen. It is indeed a scene. What the escort nursing home looks like.
"Miss!"
"Hello, miss!"
When everyone saw Xu Youran's arrival, they all stood up to say hello.
Everyone had a look of respect and affection on their faces, and it was obvious that she was well-respected here.
"Sir, what a joke!" Xu Youran nodded to everyone and explained softly: "These are either disabled bodyguards who were injured and retired, or they are the family members of the victims. The purpose of raising such a large population is to prevent everyone from going hungry. die."
"Shopkeeper Xu is kind and righteous, I admire you." Wei Han complimented and said, "You don't have to be so polite, just call me by my name. My surname is Qiao Mingfeng."
"Qiao Feng? What a name!" Xu Youran couldn't help but admire it secretly.
She stared intensely at the confident man in front of her, and suddenly had a hunch in her heart that this Qiao Feng would probably give her a big surprise.
