Chapter 865: Kick the scumbag, peach blossoms bloom 4

Su Yan took a carriage to the opposite side of Jiang Yue Restaurant. She did not even look at Jiang Yue Restaurant, but went straight to the Jixiang Restaurant opposite.

Recently, due to the problems at Jiangyue Restaurant, Jixiang Restaurant's business has been bleak and has reached the point where its income is not enough to cover its expenses.

The shopkeeper tried various methods, but unfortunately their dishes were not as good as the Jiangyue Restaurant across the street, and the number of customers was decreasing.

Nowadays, when they see a customer coming, the waiter and the shopkeeper are very enthusiastic and busy greeting the customer.

Su Yan got straight to the point and said, "I want to see your boss. Can you let him know?"

The shopkeeper thought Su Yan was here to cause trouble, but looking at her appearance and demeanor, it didn't seem like she was just making trouble.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I wonder what the young lady wants to talk to our boss about. I can tell her for you."

Su Yan also smiled and said, "It's actually a good thing. I see your restaurant business isn't doing very well, and I have a business deal I want to discuss with him."

Hearing that it was a business discussion, the shopkeeper sent someone to find the boss behind the restaurant.

Su Yan didn't expect that the boss behind the scenes was actually Huo Wenyuan. Isn't he only seventeen years old?

Isn’t he a student of Bailu Academy? Why are you secretly opening a restaurant?

999 took the initiative to explain to her: "This restaurant is Huo's mother's dowry. Huo Wenyuan doesn't study hard all day and likes to go out and fool around. Huo's mother is afraid that he will learn bad things, so she deliberately handed this loss-making restaurant to him to manage. The two of them also made three rules. If Huo Wenyuan can turn the loss-making restaurant into a profit, she will no longer force him to study. If not, he should honestly return to the academy to study."

After Su Yan knew the inside story, he lost interest in buying the restaurant, but cooperation was still possible.

Huo Wenyuan was even more surprised than her and exclaimed, "You want to discuss a business deal with me? Did the Su family agree to let you do business?"

Su Yan smiled and said, "So it's the Huo family's property. That's easy. I really came here to discuss business."

Huo Wenyuan asked doubtfully, "What kind of business do you want to discuss? Do you know how to do business?"

Su Yan didn't care about his doubts. After all, anyone who knew her would have such doubts. It was also a reasonable doubt, and she could understand it.

"As long as you listen to me, I promise to make Jixiang Restaurant one of the most famous restaurants in Shangjing."

"Really? What benefit do you want?"

"Not much, 30-70. I want 30% of the profit. Considering that Master Huo is a good man, I am already very kind."

"Why don't you go..." Rob.

Before she finished speaking, when she heard the second half of her sentence, Huo Wenyuan felt that he had gotten to know the second young lady of the Su family again today.

Is this the legendary lady Su Er, who is quiet, elegant and beautiful like a fairy?

This is clearly a mercenary and unscrupulous businessman. He dares to ask for exorbitant amounts of money before even saying how he will make a profit.

Su Yan was really wronged. She felt that she was being kind enough by only asking for 30%. If she opened a restaurant next door, Jixiang Restaurant would have to go bankrupt due to the pressure from Jiangyue Restaurant and her restaurant.

Now, she changed her mindset and cooperated with him, which was equivalent to helping him and doing a good deed, but he still didn't understand.

"Since I dare to ask this, there must be a way to make Jixiang Restaurant's business prosperous. You just need to wait to make money. What is there to hesitate about? Will it be worse than the current situation?"

"I……"

That’s right. Jixiang Restaurant has been suffering heavy losses for two consecutive months. If it continues like this, it will have to close down.

"Are you sure that your method will make the Jixiang Restaurant prosperous?"

"Of course, otherwise where would I get my 30%?"

"Okay, if it's really as you said, I will sign this agreement with you."

The two men drafted an agreement in triplicate, one for each of the Su and Huo families, and one for filing with the government.

Huo Wenyuan didn't expect Su Yan to be so cautious. It was just an agreement, but he went to so much trouble to file it with the government. Could it be that his Huo family would cheat?

After putting away the agreement, Su Yan began to teach him how to change the current situation.

"Let's close the business for renovations first."

"What? Closing business?"

"Listen to me, if you want people to remember it, you have to have unique features that make them remember it. This restaurant has no unique features at all, so it must be renovated. I will rearrange the layout according to the size of this restaurant. I will send someone to give you the sketch tomorrow, and you can have someone decorate it according to the design."

"But……"

"Secondly, the dishes in this restaurant cannot be compared with those across the street. I happen to have a new recipe, which I will send to you tomorrow. Send someone to learn it during the renovation period. Of course, you have to pay me for the recipe. This is a unique recipe that I got by chance at a high price."

"you…"

"Also, the plates for serving the dishes need to be customized. We want to make them unique and promote our brand. I will draw a set of tableware and you can have someone make it."

"That's easy. Our Huo family has a special kiln workshop."

"Also, select ten young boys and girls, preferably those with good looks, and send them to my Su Mansion. I will personally train them."

"What are you going to do? Our restaurant is a legitimate restaurant."

"Don't worry, I just want to teach them how to serve customers more pleasant meals."

"besides……"

"Why is there more? I'm so confused."

Su Yan glanced at him unhappily, and then said: "Forget it, forget it, I'll let my people do it, you just do these for now."

Huo Wenyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Su Yan returned home, he began to design the rearrangement of the restaurant.

After the design was completed, I wrote a menu. I originally wanted to write about eight major cuisines, but later I thought that the eight major cuisines were too complicated, so I wrote about four major cuisines first, namely Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Shandong cuisine, and Jiangsu cuisine.

This is enough for them to learn. It is impossible for her to write a complete list. She only wrote about the more famous representative dishes.

These alone are enough to make this dynasty shine.

After writing the menu, Su Yan also designed exclusive clothing for their restaurant. The uniform clothing is also a major feature and signature of their restaurant.

After the clothing design was completed, Su Yan gave the drawings to Xiangli and asked her to find an embroidery workshop to make them. She also marked the fabrics and colors to be used.

Su Changxin went out today and sold a few of his old works, earning three thousand taels of silver. As soon as he got home, he went to find Su Yan.

"Sister, I heard from mother that you want to learn how to do business. I have some capital here, you can use it to practice."

Su Yan was still wondering how to get money from the two elders of the Su family, when this good brother sent it to him.

Su Yan pretended to refuse, but Su Changxin insisted on giving it to him, so Su Yan accepted it reluctantly.

He also promised that he would pay him back when he made money in the future.

Su Changxin: "This is a little pocket money that your brother gives to your sister. There is no need to pay it back. If it is not enough, you can tell me later. I have plenty."

"My brother is so good to me."

"Of course. You're my only sister. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

"Yeah, I'll remember that."

Su Yan wasn't really short of money, but it wasn't convenient to take out the gold and silver in her space now. At least she would wait until she made money in the future and take it out to use so as not to arouse suspicion.
