Chapter 42 Preparations 【Part [-]】

One day later, early in the morning, in the backyard of Xiangguo Mansion.

The room belonging to Ma Xiaoshuai and Dongfang Xueyu was opened, and Ma Xiaoshuai came out dressed up, full of heroism and high spirits, yesterday's farce was finally resolved, and Qianyue was tricked by Ma Xiaoshuai after the bankruptcy of Qianyue's fault-finding plan. The following burst into tears with anger, and he, the instigator, was naturally blamed by Dongfang Xueyu for a while, but it was finally settled after repeated assurances of duplicity.

And Murong Xiaowan didn't mind Qianyue's departure, but she who was also startled at the time accidentally found another weird way to play with the ball. As a result, the little girl put all the balloons on the ground, Pulling Dongfang Xueyu, who was obviously timid, to cover his ears together, screaming and stomping, while Ma Xiaoshuai kept running around the room and yard to replenish supplies from Tang Xiao, and after paying for his swollen mouth, he got this The little girl left contentedly.

As for the restaurant, Steward Wang had actually finalized the price yesterday, and after paying the money, he got the title deed, but what made Ma Xiaoshuai a little happy was that this honest-looking butler was actually better than anyone else. I ran to talk to the shopkeeper alone, but I didn't know what method I used, but it was a full 300 taels lower than the original price, and what made Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but kneel down was that this guy even forced the shopkeeper to give it away as a gift. With a lot of furniture and kitchen utensils, Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help thinking that if Butler Wang was a woman...

Cough, I'm glad I'm happy, but it's going to open tomorrow, and I have a lot of things to do today, so I have to get to the shop early.

"Master." Dongfang Xueyu's voice came from behind.

"Boss Dongfang." Ma Xiaoshuai turned around and cupped his hands pretendingly, which made Dongfang Xueyu smile coquettishly.

"Msanggong, let's go to the shop quickly, go early and get ready."

"Okay, let's go, move forward"

…………

The restaurant is located in a prime location in the city, and the entire street is full of shops. In Ma Xiaoshuai's previous life, it should be a commercial street or a pedestrian street. This kind of place has a lot of traffic, but Xiangguo Mansion is not far from that street. It's far away, so when Ma Xiaoshuai and Dongfang Xueyu arrive, it's only a short time.

It was already dawn at this time, the sun had already begun to rise, and the door of the restaurant was closed.

Ma Xiaoshuai and Dongfang Xueyu stood in front of the well-decorated three-story restaurant, looked around for a while, then nodded in satisfaction, knocked on the door and walked in.

Because the restaurant's dishes must rely on condiments such as monosodium glutamate and thirteen spices, so the secrecy work is naturally done well, so the original batch of cooks and waiters in this restaurant were all dismissed by Ma Xiaoshuai, and only a few were left for cleaning. As for the manpower to be used in the future, to be honest, Ma Xiaoshuai didn't think about it well, so he could only temporarily send some trustworthy servants from the Xiangguo Mansion.

Today's workload is relatively heavy, so almost all the servants in the entire Xiangguo Mansion were mobilized. When Ma Xiaoshuai and the two arrived late, the thirty or so people were already busy, cleaning and moving. Moving things, a look of enthusiasm.

This is the first time for Ma Xiaoshuai to visit this restaurant that belongs to him, so he inevitably looked up and down curiously. Generally speaking, this restaurant has three floors, the first and second floors are extremely spacious, and each floor can be placed There are more than [-] tables, and the third floor is similar to the first floor of the attic, the place is slightly smaller. As for the decoration, although it is considered high-end in this world, Ma Xiaoshuai is not very satisfied with it , in general is a word, gorgeous, but without sentimentality.

So Ma Xiaoshuai's work today starts here.

"Sir, do you want to renovate?" Dongfang Xueyu asked Ma Xiaoshuai who handed over a cup of tea. After all, he had been living together for a while, and he had a little understanding of Ma Xiaoshuai's thoughts. At this moment, Ma Xiaoshuai was frowning Brow, also know that he has his own plan.

Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, took a sip of the tea, and moistened his throat.

"Wang Butler, where's Wang Butler?"

"My little one is here, what are your orders?" Steward Wang, who was instructing his servants to clean up, trotted over.

"Get some craftsmen over here, um...carpenters, painters, you need some." Ma Xiaoshuai gave orders after pondering for a while. He just looked at the second and third floors. There are indeed some things that need to be changed. For his life, he pays attention to innovation. For people with special characteristics in the 21st century, it is not a problem to copy some ideas and ideas, but because of time constraints, they cannot make major changes. It can only be said that the places that are really annoying are changed, and the rest will be slowly implemented in the future. .

Butler Wang led the order and went out. For him, it would not be difficult to find a craftsman temporarily. Ma Xiaoshuai was very relieved of this shrewd butler, and didn't bother to explain, believing that he knew what to do.

"Er Gouzi, where did you die, come here."

This morning, Er Gouzi came along and said he was here to help, and Ma Xiaoshuai knew about it just now.

"Grandpa, grandpa, I'm here." Er Gou, who was still stained with melon seeds on the far side, trotted over, obviously chatting and spanking with people before.

Ma Xiaoshuai walked to the first floor at this time, and told Ergou: "Call everyone over here."

"Yes." After speaking, he shouted at the top of his voice, and after a while, more than [-] people gathered on the first floor.

Facing more than thirty people, old and young, men and women, Ma Xiaoshuai walked slowly with his hands behind his back. In fact, this was the first time for him to direct thirty people to do things, and it was such a huge workload. Ma Xiaoshuai was not to mention how happy he was.

"Ahem..." I am happy to be happy, but I can't waste time, "Everyone is here, let me explain some things, let everyone come here today, first of all, no one is there, and everyone is on their own, Believe it, as for work, there are actually not many, everyone just follow my orders."

Thirty or so people immediately became energetic after hearing the phrase "one of my own people", and each of them straightened up to listen to Ma Xiaoshuai's lecture.

"Everyone divides into two groups first. Older women and girls start cleaning from the kitchen. Clean inside and outside, including the outside of the restaurant. After a while, you will follow Steward Wang's orders when he comes back. All of you will follow me, and when the artisans arrive, you will obey my orders."

Just as he was speaking, the sweaty Wang Butler ran in with a few craftsmen carrying bags.

"Grandpa, I've found them all."

"Trouble Butler Wang." Seeing the bearded old man sweating profusely, Ma Xiaoshuai felt really sorry, "You will take a team of people to clean up inside and out in a while, and you can go back to rest when you're done. "

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Steward Wang was also really moved, and he almost burst into tears when he sniffled. Ma Xiaoshuai didn't dare to let the old man say something about his gratitude on this stick, casually. After a few words of attention, he left with a dozen maids and mother-in-law.

As for those craftsmen, Steward Wang has introduced them in detail. They are all good craftsmen. In the past, Xiangguo's mansion used to look for these people for new furniture and lacquering. You have to find such a person, get acquainted casually, and lead the rest of the servants to the second floor.

The second floor is spacious, and there are dozens of tables. The furniture is neither new nor old, but it's just the way it looks, lifeless, and lifeless. According to Ma Xiaoshuai's thinking, these things have to be thrown away , but considering the urgency of time, we will make do with it.

"My lord, what are we going to do?" Several craftsmen seemed cheerful, and they squatted on the ground to pick up the tools they brought as soon as they reached the second floor, as if preparing to work.

Ma Xiaoshuai likes this kind of vigorous and decisive character, which suits his appetite, "Guys, that's right. My idea is to turn the second floor into private rooms, so I will work harder later. The painter will start from the first floor to refresh the tables and stools. The carpenter will get some thin boards to divide the second floor into...well, just twenty small boxes, but you have to pay attention to save space as much as possible. You can make as much space as a table and a few benches occupy. "

In fact, Ma Xiaoshuai's idea is similar to that of most restaurants in his previous life. With a passage in the middle, the entire second floor is divided into two large areas on the left and right, and then separated by thicker wooden boards into twenty small areas of different sizes. This space is independent, and some tables and chairs are put in to form a box. In fact, Ma Xiaoshuai has his own plan for this method. The place is already spacious. Although the box looks small, even if it is small, it can be seated comfortably. There are fifty people in each box, and now there are fifty people in each box. The area is not too small, and there are not too many people to receive, but each box has to pay an extra fee, so it is really profitable.

After saying this, the carpenters were stunned for a long time. They are old carpenters who have been working for more than ten years. At most, it would be tables, chairs and benches, but I’ve never heard of a private room on the entire first floor. Even if there was, it would be a private place like Wanhualou. As for restaurants that only have a meal, there are so many of them. This is really the first time I heard of the box.

"Do you have any comments?" Ma Xiaoshuai urged when he saw that the few people were still not moving.

"Ah? No, no, no opinion." This accident is accidental, but since the employer has spoken, they naturally followed the order, and they said, this box is a big buy*** together, furniture can make a lot of money They figured it out in a daze, and immediately ordered the apprentices to go back to the shop to get the materials.

"Then you guys discuss it first, and if you have anything you want to ask, just ask me." I called a few servants to help pull the materials over, and I thought it was nothing, so I greeted a few carpenters and went down to the first floor. There are many things.

When we got to the first floor, Steward Wang and Dongfang Xueyu were standing at the counter with nothing to do, and a few servants were also standing aside, staring at each other, because according to Ma Xiaoshuai's instructions, several painters had already started to paint. Lacquer, cleaning is for nothing, and the servants are indeed troublesome, but that's okay, Ma Xiaoshuai has other things to explain.
