After being dressed as cannon fodder, I feed tyrants by cooking skills

Chapter 17 A Restaurant

Jiang Yu's plan to open a restaurant has been delayed because she has been busy cooking for the wealthy households in the town.

There was finally movement today.

Jiang Yu and Aunt Li made an appointment to rent a shop in Washi. Before leaving, she deliberately divided the 20 taels of silver she was carrying into several parts and put them in different places on her body.

"What? Why is the rent of your shop so expensive?" The two walked into a shop with a sign that said "for rent".Seeing the two of them coming in, the owner of the shop looked them up and down, then slapped her and said that the price of the shop was 25 taels of silver.

25 taels of silver?Jiang Yu had been to Washi for a while before, and for a shop like this, people always asked for 20 taels of silver.Aunt Li was startled when she heard that the owner's asking price was five taels higher than that of others, which led to her questioning just now.

"That's right, it's 25 taels, and nothing less will do." The host who spoke was a hunchbacked man with a mustache. It was hard to tell how tall he was, but his appearance was rather sarcastic.

Ever since Jiang Yu and Aunt Li entered the door just now, he saw a woman and a girl who came to rent the shop, so he was moved. Can earn more rent.

These days, money is not easy to earn. The rent of 20 taels was already quite high, but the host was so good that the lion asked for an extra five taels.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the master's thief rolled his eyes, and immediately added another fire: "There are not many vacant shops on this street, let alone a shop with such an excellent location, which is rare." It’s rare, 25 taels of silver is really not much.”

"If you two don't rent it, then don't occupy the space here. Anyway, my shop is good, and some people rent it."

Anyway, the owner said all the good and bad things, and what they said was that they hoped that they would rent a shop quickly.

Jiang Yu really felt that the location of this shop was very good, it happened to be in the middle of the street.In this way, it is not only convenient for the people in the town to visit her shop, but also when the caravan comes later, the people of the caravan don't have to walk for a long time to come to her place to eat.This is a good shop with its own source of customers.

So she wanted to go inside and look at the kitchen: "I haven't walked around the shop yet, so it won't be too late to decide whether to rent it or not after I go around, isn't it?"

Since it is a catering business, apart from the source of customers, the other is the kitchen.The best location is useless if the kitchen is not big enough and the things in it are not complete.

It seems that the master didn't expect Jiang Yu to make this request. He was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed joy. He really didn't expect that these two people wanted to rent his shop. It was a waste of five taels of silver. Just thinking about it made him feel beautiful. Very pleased, he took the two of them to the kitchen and the backyard for a tour.

After looking inside and out of the store, Jiang Yu felt very satisfied, especially the four stoves in the kitchen. Now she didn't have to worry about not having enough stoves.There is also the spacious backyard, it is absolutely no problem to put some firewood and ingredients for the fire, and the house inside can be cleaned up for people to rest.

She explained her attitude to the owner: "I am very satisfied with the shop. I am really willing to rent this shop, but the price you gave is too high."

As soon as the master heard that she really wanted to rent it, he immediately came to God, and when he spoke, he tried his best to straighten his back: "My shop is definitely the best, and you can rent it if you want."

As he spoke, he raised three fingers: "For three years, once my shop is rented out, it must be rented for three years. The three-year rent is paid in one lump sum and I have to pay a deposit of ten taels of silver. The total is 85 taels of silver. What do you two think? If you decide to rent, we will sign the lease document here."

Good guy, this is not a lion's big mouth, this is clearly trying to eat people.

Aunt Li pulled Jiang Yu and was about to leave. She had never met such an unruly businessman in half her life.It doesn't matter if this shop is not rented, anyway, there are other shops that are vacant.

Jiang Yu gently withdrew her hand, signaling Aunt Li not to worry, she cleared her throat, and said unhurriedly, "Does the master know the laws of this dynasty?"

"I don't care whether it's legal or not. I'm in the rental business. I set the price at whatever price I want!" The man stroked his mustache and narrowed his eyes slightly. He had never heard of any laws. This girl's eloquence is probably the one who lied to him, so he won't be fooled by it.

In fact, Jiang Yu didn't know the laws of the Dalu Dynasty, but the original author often mentioned them in the novels, so he remembered them.

"Since the founding emperor established the Dalu Dynasty, he has paid special attention to people's livelihood. The laws of Dalu are even more clearly written that doing business must clearly mark the price, and the rise and fall of prices must be determined according to the market. The starting price ranges from houses and fields to items such as cloth, and all prices are recorded by the yamen.”

The master's face gradually turned pale, and the majesty and air just now disappeared.

"If the master doesn't believe what I said, we can go to the yamen to ask. Once the master's renting out the store and asking for a lot of money is found out, I believe that the adults in the yamen will definitely not sit idly by." Said, Jiang Yu pulled up Aunt Li and was about to go outside.

The master's family didn't have the heart to think about earning more money at the moment, what Jiang Yu said just now made him stunned for a while.If what she said was all the truth, if she brought this matter to the Yamen... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Beads of sweat on his head fell to the ground, and he felt his eyes go dark. Fortunately, he grabbed the table beside him to prevent him from falling to the ground.

He slowed down for a while, and quickly opened his mouth to call the person back, now he doesn't care about money or not, he just hopes that those two people will never make a fuss about it in the yamen.

"The price is easy to talk about, easy to talk about." The master wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and changed his tone of speech before.

In the end, Jiang Yu signed a lease document with the owner at the market price of 20 taels of silver, paying the money with one hand and the shop with the other.There were two copies of the document, one was taken away by the owner, and the other was left in Jiang Yu's hands.

Holding a purse full of silver, the master shook his head and left with a sigh. He really didn't expect to be defeated by a girl today.

Jiang Yu folded the lease documents and put them in her pocket, and went out to make a signboard for her restaurant, and named the shop "a restaurant".
