Chapter 66 Aunt Mei's Family Affairs

"Sister Xiaojia came to see the new book I bought." Xingye found an excuse and went upstairs with Xiaojia, and when they got to her room, he asked, "What's going on? Why did you resign suddenly when you were fine?"

Xiaojia sighed, and then told Xingye what happened in the past few years, and Xingye was also very angry when she heard it.

It turned out that a well-known restaurant group in Taiwan bought the original Yuhua Hotel two years ago, and their lobby manager was replaced by a Taiwanese man in his 30s. This man played with many young people by virtue of his identity and talking about friends. Mei's waitress, Xiao Jia, was also harassed by him, but she was fine after being rejected.But this time he fell in love with a new little girl from someone else, so, people didn't want him to take drugs and wanted to use strong ones. The Taiwanese had an argument, and the little girl was saved, but Xiao Jia became a thorn in his side.

At first he wanted to fire Xiaojia, but because Xiaojia's term of employment had not yet expired and there were no obvious mistakes, the manager did not approve. The Taiwanese saw that this was not possible, so they found an excuse to fire Xiaojia from her position as a foreman and transferred to an ordinary job. The service staff promoted a good waitress to the position of foreman. Xiaojia was anxious and angry, but thinking about the conditions in her own home, she gritted her teeth and continued to work. But within a month, she went from foreman to service Then she went to the dishwasher, and finally asked her to clean the toilets. Not only that, but the two gangsters ordered her to do this and that when they had nothing to do, and they always deliberately found fault and humiliated her.

Xiao Jia finally couldn't take it anymore, she was furious, she threw a rag in the face of the Taiwanese, splashed dirty water on the new foreman who was helping the gangsters, had a big fight with them, and resigned.

"Yes, it should have been done a long time ago." Xingye said angrily after hearing this, but recalling Aunt Mei's tears, she couldn't help but said, "Aunt Mei blamed you for resigning?"

Xiao Jia smiled bitterly and said, "If she blamed me, I wouldn't feel bad. She said that it was their incompetence as parents that made my daughter suffer so much. She said that I should quit doing it earlier."

Xingye nodded, Aunt Mei is not the kind of woman who can't look away, but also a straightforward person who can afford to let go.

"Does Uncle Zhu know?" Xingye asked.

Xiao Jia shook her head and said, "I didn't dare to tell him because I was afraid he would find out that in the past two days I also came out during work hours, looked for work around, and returned home after get off work hours, but I have been looking for a few days. Haven't found it yet."

"It's not a long matter!" Xingye said.

"You can't let my dad know, or he won't be able to rest and recuperate, you don't know," Xiao Jia said of her father with an anxious face, "As soon as his legs recovered, he practiced walking desperately, hoping to get better soon , can go out to find a job, he always said that he has dragged us down for the past two years, let us two women support the family, he feels uncomfortable, get well soon, even if he earns less, he can make up for the family."

Xingye felt sad for a while after hearing this, and still said: "You can't let Uncle Zhu practice too hard. The doctor said, you have to do it step by step."

"I've tried to persuade him like this, but he won't listen. If I know that I'm out of work, why worry?" Xiao Jia said helplessly.

Xingye is also speechless. Aunt Mei is also a very strong woman. In this sense, she is very similar to her mother. The salary given by her grandmother is not low, and she even refuses to give her a raise, but she still has a college student. My son needs money. I heard from her that her son Xiaoyong has also worked two jobs this semester. He always doesn’t want to give him living expenses. He said that the money from his part-time job is enough. Let the money be used to buy some supplements for his father. .

Xingye felt that she saw a microcosm of her own family on Aunt Mei's family, so she must find a way to help them.

"Uncle Zhu will be very tired if he goes to work for others. Can his legs work?"

Xiao Jia was also worried about this, "Yes, it turns out that the restaurant where he works lasts for several hours at a time, and he must not be able to bear it in a day."

"Why don't you think about doing some business for yourself instead of working for others." Xingye suggested.

"Dad said, if you can't do it, set up a small food stall to sell breakfast, supper or something."

Xingye frowned, "Isn't that very hard work, and you can't earn much money? It's a pity that Uncle Zhu is a good cook."

Xiao Jia shook her head, "Yes, in that case he can't do it alone!"

If it’s just a hawker stall selling steamed buns and wontons, it would be a pity that Uncle Zhu has been cooking for decades. The Zhu family has been cooks for generations. Uncle Zhu has been learning to cook since he was a child, and Aunt Mei’s family is also a cook. The aristocratic family has only one daughter in Aunt Mei’s generation, so they found Uncle Zhu, who is also a chef, to marry in to pass on the Mei family cuisine. It can be said that Uncle Zhu inherited the strengths of the two families and has his own characteristics. , How can such a person be allowed to sell breakfast? It's too talented.

Xingye asked Xiaojia, "Sister Xiaojia, you have been working in catering for so many years, have you ever thought about opening your own restaurant?"

Xiao Jia said: "Why didn't I think about it, my dad is also a cook, I know the front desk management, but let's start a big family, let alone hundreds of thousands, there are millions of them, how can we have that kind of money? To open is to open a small family shop, the income is not much, and the various expenses are quite a lot, and in the end there is not much left after exhaustion."

Xingye said happily: "Sister Xiaojia, I have money, you can use it to open a bigger store!"

"How much money do you have?" After Xiaojia finished speaking, she remembered what her mother had mentioned, and she seemed to have some money, so she hurriedly said, "How can you use your money well? It is risky to open a shop." , it’s not a small amount to accompany you!”

Xingye has already figured it out in his heart, he has more than 100 million in the bank, and it is better to use it to open a restaurant for Xiaojia. Xiaojia is a bright and capable person, and she has no talent for business. Can I cooperate with Xiaojia? I pay for it myself and let Xiaojia manage it. Coupled with Uncle Zhu’s cooking skills, it’s a perfect cooperation. Take the lead, yes, the more Xingye thinks about it, the more feasible it becomes.

Immediately said what was in his mind, "Sister Xiaojia, I have funds, you have management and management, and uncle has good cooking skills. Why don't we cooperate and open a big restaurant and let you manage it. Do you think it's okay?"

After hearing Xingye's words, Zhu Xiaojia felt very excited after thinking about it, but hesitated, "Xingye, this investment is huge, and my father's body may not be able to keep an eye on it. If it is his own property, he will definitely work harder. of."

Xingye thinks about this possibility, his original intention is not to make a lot of money, but to help Aunt Mei's family, but if Uncle Zhu is exhausted, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Seeing Xiaojia's disappointed expression, it is obvious that she also wants to try opening a shop by herself.

Xingye suddenly laughed, she thought of a way.

"Sister Xiaojia, we won't open a big restaurant anymore." Xingye said happily.

"What?" Xiao Jia didn't understand, where did she come from?

"We will open a private restaurant and sell Mei's dishes. We don't need to look for a big name anymore. We will find a better private house, and finally an old-fashioned courtyard with antique decoration. Let Uncle Zhu find two apprentices , I don’t do much every day, just make ten tables and eight tables, and people will have nothing to eat when they come late,” Xingye became more and more excited as she talked, and she also remembered the Tan’s private house that she went to in the provincial capital. dishes, "If you want to eat, you must call in advance to make an appointment, otherwise, no matter who you are, you won't have to eat. We launch a few signature dishes every day, and you can eat this when you come. If you want to order something that is not on the menu, we will not do it. , this is the feature, what do you think?"

Xiaojia understood what Xingye said, so her father couldn't do more, but, "What if no one comes?"

Xingye smiled, "The smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. With Uncle Zhu's craftsmanship, are you afraid that there will be no repeat customers? We make special ones, such as Aunt Mei's health dishes, medicinal soup, etc. We do not make much of them in the first place. , as long as it is famous among a small number of people, it is not afraid that there will be no business."

Xiao Jia nodded, still very confident in her father's craftsmanship.

Both of them thought it was feasible, and excitedly talked about it, the setting of the decoration, the clothing training of the staff, and the design of the dishes all have their own characteristics, and they must be elegant and not vulgar...

The more the two talked, the more they felt that it was feasible, but Xiao Jia put away her smile and said, "The talk was so good, but there is one more important point, which requires the consent of my parents, you too, no you have to Tell your grandma, it's all useless if they don't agree."

Xingye has more confidence than her in this regard, and grandma will definitely support it. It's okay for Uncle Zhu to show his strengths, but he has to pass Aunt Mei's test, but Aunt Mei is also a very rational person, as long as this matter is feasible Give her a sex analysis, and she won't obstruct it.

If you want to talk about it, then go, at that moment, Xingye took Xiaojia downstairs to discuss with Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei was choosing vegetables to prepare dinner, and Grandma Xingye was also helping.

Xingye ran downstairs excitedly, and couldn't wait to explain to them her idea of ​​opening a private restaurant. Xiao Jia sat beside her and added.

After Xingye finished speaking, Aunt Mei didn't speak, but fell into deep thought. Xingye didn't rush, after all, she needed to give her some time to digest the problem.

Grandma Xingye spoke first, "I think this matter is fine, and it just suits your situation. As long as you do it well, no one will go."

Xingye hugged her grandmother's shoulders, and said softly, "Grandma, you are so kind, I knew you would definitely support me."

Aunt Mei thought about it for a while, and then said: "It's a good thing. With your Uncle Zhu's craftsmanship, you won't ruin the brand, but..."

Xiaojia was very happy when her mother said yes, and she heard that she had doubts, so she followed Xingye's example and put her arms around her mother's shoulders and said, "What's the matter? Mom, just say so, we can improve."

Aunt Mei said sternly: "Xingye pays all the money alone, we can't ask for shares, you and your dad just get their wages."

Xiao Jia lowered her head and thought, she was so happy just now, she really didn't think about it, if Xingye imagined it, the investment would not be a small amount.

"Aunt Mei, I'm a student and I don't know much about restaurants. I have to take care of everything that Xiaojia does, and the private dishes sold are Uncle Zhu's exclusive craftsmanship, which cannot be bought with money. These are all intangible investments, how can they not be counted as shares." Xing Ye explained, "Not only do they count, but Uncle Zhu also counts as a large stock. Think about it, without him, where would the Mei family food come from?"

"It's impossible without you, they're going to set up a stall to sell breakfast, besides, don't they still get paid?" Aunt Mei insisted.

Xingye had no choice but to persuade again: "Aunt Mei, I'm the shopkeeper, I don't do anything to get dividends, all the management depends on sister Xiaojia, and all the kitchen depends on Uncle Zhu. If they don't have shares, I don't feel at ease. Yeah, it's good to have half and half."

After several persuasions, Aunt Mei agreed to Xingye's decision. Xiao Jia put her arms around her mother and said happily, "Go back and tell Dad, he must be very happy."

Aunt Mei said sternly: "You, Xingye believes in you, you have to work hard, find a house, decorate, apply for various documents, you are busy with other things."

Xiaojia stuck out her tongue, unexpectedly the burden on her shoulders suddenly became heavy, don't be afraid, Zhu Xiaojia is not a timid person.

Xingye smiled and said: "The most important thing at the moment is to choose a suitable place, it can't be too secluded, it can't be too small, and the environment should be quiet, it's best to buy it, otherwise, if you rent it, you have to sign a longer lease, it's best It’s the kind of old courtyard house, the yard is big enough to grow some flowers and trees, and then it’s decorated like a wealthy family’s in the late Qing Dynasty, trying to go back in time and not make people feel like they’re in a restaurant.”

"It's so difficult." Aunt Mei and Xiao Jia frowned, the condition was even harsher than looking for a face.

"It's difficult to do this first. I can't get all the certificates. I don't have a place yet." Xingye laughed.

The grandma, who hadn't spoken for a long time, smiled and said, "I know a suitable place, but you have to make sure, as you just said, that you pretend to be a family and don't mess around."

"Where is it? Grandma, don't worry, I originally wanted the effect of the antique and cultural atmosphere. It would be better if it was an ancient building." Xingye said.

Aunt Mei seemed to know what grandma was talking about, and asked, "Could you be talking about the old house on Guqiao Street?"

"That's right, isn't that the building? If it's empty, it's empty. Why don't you build a storefront for you?" Grandma laughed.

"grandmother"

Xingye also understood that the address her mother gave her was on Guqiao Street. If you refuse to rent it out, the house has always been vacant.

"It's too late today, I'll take you there tomorrow to see if it suits you." Grandma said with a smile.

"Do you want to discuss it with grandpa?" Xingye asked cautiously. Although grandpa always listened to grandma, grandma would not do things that grandpa disagreed with.

"It's okay." Grandma waved her hand indifferently, "I'll talk to him later."

Sure enough, grandpa didn't have any objections. He only said that if he wanted to do something, he had to look decent, decorate it well, talk when he didn't have enough money, and don't mess around with anything.

Xingye quickly said that 100 million should be enough for him.

Hearing what she said, they were taken aback. They only heard that she had made some money by buying stocks, and they thought it was only tens of thousands of yuan, but they didn't expect so much money.

Xingye told them all about buying stocks, and everyone could only say that she was really lucky.

Xingye smiled and said, Master Huiyuan said that I have good luck, wealth, longevity, happiness and wealth.
