Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 545 Do You Want Me To Come Or Don't You Want Me To Come?

Just when Lou Xiao'e wanted to continue to ask Cao Zhiqiang about food is the sky, a voice suddenly appeared.

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

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

He Yuzhu was standing at the door of the office at this moment, staring at Lou Xiao'e dumbfounded, all eyes were on her, and he didn't pay attention to 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, let's talk first." Cao Zhiqiang smiled first, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first. If you want to ask anything, just ask my sister, she knows this place better than me."

"Yes, yes, yes." Cao Jiajia followed, "Aunt Lou, if you have anything to do, just call me. I...ah, yes, I still have a lot of things to do in the store. I have to go out to do some work. Let's chat first. "

Lou Xiaoe didn't even look at He Yuzhu, she just smiled and nodded at Cao Zhiqiang: "Okay, go and do your work, I'll take a look here by myself, if there's anything wrong, I'll just go to Jiajia."

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

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang and Cao Jiajia walked to the door hand in hand, and nodded to He Yuzhu with a smile: "Uncle He, here you are, it's quite early today."

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

"I have something to do outside, so I have an appointment." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I'll be leaving first, Uncle He, you are busy."

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang left first.

Cao Jiajia blinked at He Yuzhu, and then said: "I have to check the sanitation, please entertain Aunt Lou for me first."

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

Cao Jiajia smiled, and then left.

After Cao Zhiqiang and Cao Jiajia left one after another, when only He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e 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 ledger, not He Yuzhu at all, and said with a straight face, "I didn't stay for you, I stayed for business!"

He Yuzhu was taken aback 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 Xiaoe put down the ledger, raised her head and looked at He Yuzhu coldly: "Why, can't it work? Could it be you who opened this business?"

"That's not true." He Yuzhu smiled and wiped his knees, "That's it, that's it, no, why did you fall in love with this restaurant?"

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

"That's true." He Yuzhu nodded quickly, "The business of this restaurant is really good. There are so many people who come to eat, and it really makes money!"

Lou Xiaoe rolled her eyes: "You don't need to tell me, I will read."

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

Lou Xiao'e squinted 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 I don't care."

"I'll just ask you." Lou Xiao'e stared into He Yuzhu's eyes, "Do you want me to come, or do you not want me to come?"

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

"You don't want me to come?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

He Yuzhu quickly raised his head and shook his hands: "No, no, no."

"That's why 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 fine."

"Then you can 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. At that time, you will work under me , are you sure there is no problem?"

"What's wrong with me?" He Yuzhu chuckled.

"I'm just a cook, and I'm a [-]% stakeholder, 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 say let me continue to work, I will continue to work. If you want to see me as an eyesore and don't like it, I will just leave. "

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

"Of course." He Yuzhu said, "But we still have to follow the old rules, and the salary can't be changed."

"Of course it's okay." Lou Xiao'e stared at He Yuzhu and said, "What I mean is, if I want to become the boss here and keep you, can Qin Huairu agree? At that time, will you be asked to resign from here again? ah?"

He Yuzhu blinked: "This, this, it's over if we don't let her know?"

"I knew you would say that!" Lou Xiao'e gave He Yuzhu a white look, "Because I know that you are a liar! As long as you don't want others to know, this person will never know. I have learned it many times myself. right?"

He Yuzhu was taken aback: "Are you praising me or hurting me? All right, I'll just listen to it as a good thing."

After smiling, as if to change the subject, He Yuzhu asked directly: "Then 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 spread, and judging by the books, the business is quite good, and it is worth investing in.

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

"That's right!" He Yuzhu slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Let me tell you, this is the only place. Now the business is booming. Customers line up every day. The tables here are full of newcomers as soon as the customers leave. Extremely busy and simply not enough.

If you can sell the house next door, open it again, and double the number of tables, chairs and benches, then the business will definitely go to a higher level. "

"Is the business really so good?" Lou Xiaoe asked deliberately, "Aren't you a partner who lied to me?"

"Then how can it be?" He Yuzhu said, "If you don't believe me, you can stay and take a look! It will be noon later, and you will know when you stay and take a look.

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

Have you looked at the stretch of horses outside the gate?
That's all for the queues.

As for the people who lined up, they took their number plates outside, and then sat on the pony and waited.

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

"Still called?" Lou Xiaoe was stunned.

"Of course." He Yuzhu said, "This is also Cao Zhiqiang's invention. This kid has a very active mind and a strong mind. When this method comes out, many people are willing to wait."

Lou Xiaoe nodded, and then asked in confusion: "Then why is there no one here when you brought me here last time?"

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

"Business is so good and still closed?" Lou Xiaoe frowned.

He Yuzhu nodded: "The last time you brought your son here, it happened like this, it must be Cao Zhiqiang, who just came back from Japan and wanted to bring his partner, oh, yes, now he is called girlfriend, take his girlfriend back to hang out with him Open the door, recognize it, and have a family dinner.

Then, from the opening to the present, the place has been busy and has not had a break, so, Cao Jiajia, Cao Zhiqiang's sister, who is also the manager here, decided to close for a day, and everyone went to have a rest.

Anyway, Cao Jiajia and Cao Zhiqiang are both rich and rich now, and they don't care about the business for half a day.

According to what they say, you can make money at any time, but family affection is the most important thing.

So, the last time they happened to be having a family dinner, they were closed for a day, that's all, when I brought you here, the place was empty. "

"I see." Lou Xiaoe nodded.

He Yuzhu chuckled, and then asked softly: "Then what, if you really think this place is good, if you really invest in this place, 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 it's not for you, don't be too sentimental."

"That's that, that's not possible." He Yuzhu laughed.

"Huh, you have a hippie smile." Lou Xiao'e gave He Yuzhu a white look again, "It's still the same as before, there's no one of the right type!"

"Hehehe." He Yuzhu smiled, "I'm already old, and I can't change it."

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

After speaking, Lou Xiaoe picked up the ledger again.

He Yuzhu blinked, then rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, Lou Xiao'e, are you investigating?"

"Yes." Lou Xiaoe said casually.

"Then why don't I show you around?" He Yuzhu smiled, "When you came last time, I didn't take you around here carefully. Now it's just right that the restaurant hasn't opened yet, and the employees are all here. Alright, everything is under preparation, why don't I take you around.

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

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

"There's nothing to be afraid of." He Yuzhu said with a smile, "You're the big boss who came to invest. I'll show you around. What's the matter? What can I gossip about?"

"I don't care, as long as you don't be afraid." Lou Xiao'e smiled half-smile.

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

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

Although there was nothing on the surface, Lou Xiaoe knew that when she was with He Yuzhu, her heartbeat accelerated again, as if she had returned to her youth.

After He Yuzhu took Lou Xiao'e around the restaurants one by one, it was almost time for the opening.

Because of Cao Zhiqiang’s reminder in advance, Cao Jiajia came to He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao’e specially, and said to He Yuzhu with a smile: “Uncle He, we will be opening soon. It's mainly ordinary customers and takeaways, and your apprentices are enough to handle it.

How about this, I'm sure I won't be free, you should come to accompany Aunt Lou and treat Aunt Lou well, no problem, right? "

He Yuzhu nodded: "No problem, no problem, I'll take care of you."

Cao Jiajia smiled, then turned to Lou Xiao'e and said, "Aunt Lou, I won't be with you for a while, so Uncle He will 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 back kitchen, you know a lot more than me, do you think this will work?"

"Of course no problem." Lou Xiaoe nodded with a smile.

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

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

Lou Xiaoe followed He Yuzhu to a corner next to the restaurant's gate, just in time to observe the opening at noon.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, many people lined up to eat, obviously they had already lined up outside.

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

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

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

In fact, this kind of situation also exists in Hong Kong, but only in those few well-known and time-honored restaurants, but even those time-honored restaurants that are overcrowded, there is no queue at the beginning.

What surprised Lou Xiaoe even more was that there were many foreigners who came to eat.

Not only white people with big noses, but also some Japanese who obviously speak Japanese.

When Lou Xiaoe asked, He Yuzhu explained: "Actually, it was not like this here at the beginning, but since a few foreigners ate here and said the taste was very good, they happened to be met by a reporter from a newspaper. After it was published in the newspaper, Cao Zhiqiang struck while the iron was hot, contacted the people from China National Travel Service, and it became a recommended restaurant for travel.

Now, foreigners who come to the capital through CITS will basically come here to taste something new, and they usually come here to eat at noon, avoiding evening.

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

"Why is that?" Lou Xiaoe asked.

He Yuzhu explained: "Because most of the people here go to work at noon, and usually eat in the canteen of the unit. At this point, there are few people who can come here to eat. On the contrary, those foreigners who come to travel have plenty of time and can come at noon. Have a meal.

In addition, this is a restaurant recommended by foreigners, so at noon, it is usually the tourist groups of foreigners who come to eat, most of them are Japanese, and then there are various overseas Chinese from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

On the contrary, in the evening, foreigners usually don't come here, and local people come to eat, especially some big leaders, they will come here to eat.

What is this called? By the way, staggered peak operation. "

Lou Xiao'e smiled softly: "The wrong peak experience? Who told you? Cao Zhiqiang?"

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

Lou Xiaoe looked at the overcrowded but not crowded lobby, and nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that Cao Zhiqiang has a lot of business acumen."

"That's right." He Yuzhu sighed, "If he can be the big boss, his brain is really different from ours."

Speaking of this, He Yuzhu sighed again: "The young people of today are really amazing!"
