Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 85 Starting to Transform the Inn

The next morning!
Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang left their residence on the East Street and West Lane and walked slowly back to the inn. On the way, they discussed what changes to make.

In the inn, Tong Xiangyu leaned against the door early in the morning, looked at the opposite restaurant and sighed, seeing the two of them coming from a distance and waved quickly.

The two walked up to Zhang Chen and said:
"Shopkeeper, we're starting to renovate the store today. I'm afraid it won't be possible for people to live in the store. Come and stay with me for a few days! It's just to add some popularity to my place, otherwise only the cleaners will clean it from time to time."

Bai Zhantang also helped to persuade them that these things were discussed on the road, otherwise living in the inn during the renovation period would definitely not be as comfortable as before.

Under the persuasion of the two, Tong Xiang nodded and agreed to call everyone in the store together to announce the decision. At this time, Mo Xiaobei had not gone to school and heard the news and said with a smile:
"Brother Xiaochen, I went directly to your place after school today?"

After Zhang Chen nodded affirmatively, Mo Xiaobei hurried to school with her schoolbag on her back. Guo Furong looked at Mo Xiaobei's happy expression and said with a puzzled expression:

"Yesterday, I wanted to ask Zhang Chen if he lived in the inn? Why is there a house outside?"

Everyone didn't talk but turned to look at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen said with a smile:

"I'm a local, of course I have my own home here, but I come here because there is no one at home."

Guo Furong looked apologetically at Zhang Chen after hearing the words. After all, what he said meant that the relatives at home were not here. Zhang Chen waved his hand chicly to signal that they had already passed away, and asked everyone to pack their bags and prepare to move there today.

Everyone left one after another and returned to their rooms to pack their bags. Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang took the list they had prepared last night and assigned tasks to buy all the materials they needed.

Zhang Chen looked at the lobby of the store and said:
"As for the decoration, I happen to know a powerful team, so I'll hire someone, and you will be responsible for the materials, Brother Bai."

Hearing this, Bai Zhantang said that he understood that he was good at this aspect, and that no matter whether the material was good or bad, he could not escape his eyes. It was definitely worth the money. He handed over the key to the door of his house to Tong Xiangyu who was upstairs, and the two of them split up.

Zhang Chen found Mr. Tang resting in the backyard in a furniture store in the east street. He is an old man in construction in Qixia Town. It is more than enough to decorate an inn. Definitely be able to invite.

After Zhang Chen explained his purpose, Elder Tang said with some headaches:

"Recently, the county magistrate's good governance has issued successively, so many shops have the intention of renovating. In the past few days, several orders have been placed with me. I don't have enough manpower right now!"

After walking around the courtyard a few times, Elder Tang said:
"Show me the model first, and I'll calculate the time. If I have time, I'll finish your house first."

Zhang Chen hastily handed over the drawing paper in his hand. After Mr. Tang unfolded it on the table, his eyes lit up and he said:
"That's a good word!"

Then he carefully checked the project quantity and the required number of people, etc. After a while, Mr. Tang took back the drawing paper and said with a smile:

"Fortunately, there are no major changes, just simple modifications, and the decoration can be completed in a few days. I will ask the boss to take a few people there later, but the construction materials are a bit complicated and it will take a lot of time."

Zhang Chen knew that this was for his family's face, otherwise, how could it be possible that the arrangement was made by his son himself. Thinking of this, Zhang Chen clasped his fists again and saluted and said:

"Don't worry about the materials. Our inn has already contacted the supplier, please don't worry, Mr. Tang! We will definitely arrange the board, lodging and remuneration for these few days. The younger generation is here to thank Mr. Tang for his support!"

Hearing this, Elder Tang didn't say a word, smiled and nodded to Zhang Chen a few times, as if he was talking a little trick, Zhang Chen even smiled and chatted with Elder Tang for a while.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Tang, Zhang Chen walked towards the inn. On the way, he saw several donkey carts pulling wood walking slowly. Before Zhang Chen could see clearly, he heard Bai Zhantang's shout behind him.

I saw Bai Zhantang sitting alone on the last donkey cart, smiling and waving, Zhang Chenfei walked up to Bai Zhantang's side, and said with a teasing smile:

"Brother Bai is very efficient! It didn't take long to get all the materials together."

Bai Zhantang shook his head and said chicly:
"Anyway, I've been hanging around here for many years. Which shop has almost few things if I don't say it clearly. How is your place?"

Zhang Chen proudly explained what a powerful team he had hired. It was the famous Tang family in our county. Both the quality of workmanship and the speed were top-notch.

Not long after returning to the inn, they knew that everyone had left when the door was closed. The two opened the door and asked them to put down the materials and wait for the Tang family's team to arrive.

A quarter of an hour later, four or five men came from the street in the distance. The head of the Tang family was the boss. Zhang Chen went up to salute and said:

"The materials have just been prepared, and the eldest brother of the Tang family will look at yours!"

The elder brother of the Tang family is a young man and said very boldly:
"Okay! Now that everything is ready, brothers start working!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Zhang Chen and started to work without any greetings. Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang started to work where they didn't help, so they had to say hello and told them that there would be wine and food in the evening.

The two went back to the Zhang Mansion in the East Street and West Lane. Everyone was waiting for them to come back to eat in the hall. After everyone moved to the side hall, taking advantage of the time when the food was served, Zhang Chen introduced to Tong Xiangyu that the project had started. It should be possible in the next few days finished.

Tong Xiangyu smiled and nodded to indicate that he could make up his mind, and then discussed with Guo Furong that he would go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers later. Zhang Chen was speechless for a while.

After Dazui quickly put all the dishes on the table, Tong Xiangyu raised his wine glass and said with emotion:

"The last time we came here was Xiaochen's birthday, and Xiaoguo hadn't come yet. Let's have a toast for Xiaoguo's arrival this time!"

Everyone drank it all in one gulp!

Tong Xiangyu poured another glass after drinking a glass and said:
"The second cup is the renovation of our inn, which is also a new journey. I hope everyone will have a better life in the future!"

Bai Zhantang heard Tong Xiangyu's speech this time and said with a smile:

"Shopkeeper, our good life depends on you, our wages?"

This time Tong Xiangyu drank the rice wine in the cup and said proudly:
"After this refurbishment, as long as we can compete with the opponent, we will be paid on par with them!"

Hearing Tong Xiangyu's rhetoric, everyone was even more surprised. The salary on the opposite side was [-]% to [-]% higher than that of the shopkeeper. It seemed that he was really angry. Seeing this, everyone promised to work harder to turn over the opposite restaurant to let the shopkeeper. I let out this bad breath.

Under the guarantee of everyone, Tong Xiangyu drank another glass of wine and lay down on the table with a smile. Guo Furong sent Tong Xiangyu to the room to rest, and the rest of the people slowly drank the rice wine in the glass, chatting about their opponents this time...

　Thanks for the support!
