On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 281 Seafood Restaurant 2
There is also a middle-aged couple who say their only son died unexpectedly and want to leave this sad place.

The last one is a 13-year-old boy named Ade. It is also a very old-fashioned housework. The family runs a restaurant. After his mother passed away the year before last, his father married another wife and had children. His stepmother regarded him as a thorn in her side and forced him to drop out of school. Kitchen work.

Unexpectedly, he actually learned some skills, was falsely accused of stealing money for gambling, and was almost beaten to death by his own father.

Now he also wants to leave home and the restaurant to save his life.

When Xiao Xiao found out his age, her eyes widened, and she pulled Boss Xiao and muttered: "Dad, he is still so young, how dare you want him?"

He must be lucky to live in ancient times, otherwise he would hire child labor? To be arrested.

Boss Xiao couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect you to be confused sometimes. This cook is not a doctor. The older he gets, the more convincing he will be."

"What a chef cares about is talent, not the older you get, the more popular you are."

"Besides, if he follows us, he can have a future."

"Otherwise, just this word of filial piety can crush him."

Xiao Xiao was silent. Fortunately, she took advantage of her parents and even her family members. Although they had some minor problems, they were still good people. Otherwise, she would not dare to think about what treasonous things she would do.

She sincerely praised him: "Dad, I think my life is very good, so that I can be your and my mother's daughter."

Boss Xiao couldn't help laughing: "You are really getting better and better at coaxing people now."

Then he asked her again: "Are you really planning to open a restaurant in Yuhang?"

According to his opinion, it would be better to sell all the goods to restaurants, which would save trouble.

But Xiao Xiao wanted to open a restaurant and asked him to find a chef here and go back with them.

It is said that the chef here will know how to cook seafood better.

"Yes, there are not only many dignitaries but also rich people in Yuhang." Xiao Xiao also thought about it carefully: "In this way, when our restaurant opens, we can attract some people who are willing to spend money to eat."

I want to take the chefs back, and of course I want to try their real skills.

Boss Xiao used the excuse of inviting the innkeeper to a table and successfully used the kitchen after lunch.

The three chefs also knew that this was a critical moment for whether the future owner would hire them, so they tried their best to cook according to the recipes given by Miss Xiao.

Eel fairy chicken, steamed squid, steamed egg with scallops, spicy fried clove fish, cold kelp shreds, vinegar jellyfish head, pan-fried hairtail, spicy fried squid.

There is also a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest.

Xiao Xiao was satisfied with the food. She felt that even if the restaurant's business was not doing well, she would still be willing to keep opening it with money.

In this way, your appetite can be well satisfied.

Of course, the taste of these seafood is indeed good. Most rich people like to eat fresh seafood, so business should not be too bad.

After they had finished drinking and eating, everyone went back to their rooms. The Xiao brothers sent their daughters and Lin Xuan back to their rooms.

Xiao Xiao first asked his upright second uncle: "Uncle, do you think these seafood are okay?"

Uncle Xiao nodded fiercely: "Yes, they are all delicious, except for the bowl of sweet soup. There was a little less rock sugar, so it was not sweet enough."

The corner of Xiao Xiao's mouth twitched: "Then when you eat it next time, uncle, can you add sugar yourself?" But she can guarantee that as long as she is there, she will not let them drink rock sugar bird's nest again. This is really a waste of natural resources. .

It would be better to just serve him a bowl of sweet eight-treasure porridge, which would be more to his liking.

Boss Xiao rolled his eyes at his younger brother: "If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten it for you."

Fortunately, he stopped him earlier and didn't let his daughter cook expensive abalone and shark's fin. Otherwise, they must not be satisfied with the food.

He nodded to his daughter again: "I also think this restaurant can be opened. Can you prepare a name?"

Xiao Xiao is also a bad namer, so he hesitated: "Our restaurant specializes in seafood, so let's call it seafood restaurant?"

Fortunately, Mr. Xiao didn't have much ink in his stomach, so he didn't have high requirements for the name of the restaurant: "Seafood House, this is a good name. You will know the characteristics of our restaurant when you hear it."

"Then let's go back early?" Xiao Lian had a lot to think about: "We still have to find a suitable shop, a waiter, and a place to stay. I'm afraid my family will be worried if we stay out for too long. "

Xiao Xiao had already thought of it: "The store Li Yan gave me was originally to open a teahouse. But after the new year, the owner will return to his hometown, so I don't plan to rent it out. I will repair it and open a restaurant myself."

"And the house has always been empty, and there are still a few old servants guarding it, so we don't have to worry about where we live."

Xiao Lian couldn't help but feel sour after hearing this: "I didn't expect him to be so kind to you. Before he walked in, the real estate and family property were handed over to you first."

"This shows that that boy Li Yan is quite a thief." Boss Xiao took the opportunity to teach his daughters: "If you say that these houses and shops are the dowry prepared by us, then Mrs. Li can't do anything even if she is jealous."

"But if these all belong to Li Yan, then if the parents are not privately owned, these will become the property of the public."

"When the third girl gets married, these will be written on her dowry list. From then on, it will belong to them and their children, and Mrs. Li will have no access to it."

In the end, he couldn't help but boast: "There are few elders in this world who are as open-minded as us."

"Of course, dad is the most generous..." The Xiao sisters all cheered and poured him the ecstasy soup.

Lin Xuan, who was beside her, remained silent, but she was thinking in her heart: The shops are all owned by Xiao Xiao, so will this business only belong to Xiao Xiao in the future?
Of course she had no objection to this, but she was inevitably a little disappointed and felt that the gap between us would become wider and wider in the future.

At this time, Xiao Xiao also spoke: "The first seafood restaurant in Yuhang will be my dowry from now on."

"Dad, sisters, and Lin Xuan, if you also want to open a restaurant, even a branch of the seafood restaurant, you can ask dad for all the raw materials in the future."

"If you want to learn cooking, you can also find a few people who are interested in cooking, sign a contract, and send them to the provincial capital to learn the craft."

In this way, those who open branches do not have the pressure of raw materials. They only need to find a suitable store to open a restaurant.

Xiao Lian couldn't hide her joy after hearing this: "Really? If I open a restaurant in Yuhang in the future, will it affect your business there?"

Xiao Xiao gave her a roll of his eyes: "Don't worry, there are more than 100,000 people in Yuhang. Even if you open two seafood restaurants, it won't affect me."

After all, she insisted on opening a seafood restaurant just to satisfy her appetite.

Moreover, Boss Xiao and Xiao Xiao have also discussed in private that Xiao Xiao will purchase all the seafood he needs to open his seafood restaurant from Boss Xiao.

Boss Xiao is also planning to open a seafood business in Yuhang to test the waters first.

After all, when Xiao Xiao gets married, she won't be able to run away often.

And Boss Xiao is also very restless. It’s not too far to go to Mingzhou to receive goods. He makes several trips a year and can take care of his family without getting bored.
