Chapter 382 Mr. Wenchang
Chapter 382 Mr. Wenchang
"Xiaoyan, I'm at a loss. After I finished the work for your house, I haven't been able to get other jobs. Now that I'm free, everyone in the town dislikes me for being old and handicapped. They don't want to do it. Hiring me to work, I had no choice but to think of selling furniture."

Yan Xiaosi knew about the Zhao family's situation.

Mr. Zhao and his wife are too old to take the job. The only one who can get the job is Mr. Zhao’s son, but Mr. Zhao’s son is only [-] or [-] years old, and the time to do woodwork is relatively short. Being able to get the apprentice's wages, the apprentice's monthly salary is at most one tael of silver. In the town, it is indeed difficult to support a family of three on one tael of silver.

"Master Zhao, building furniture and selling it is a good way out. The blueprints I designed can be used by you."

Master Zhao was overjoyed by Yan Xiaosi's generosity and was very grateful.

"Xiaoyan, thank you so much. Don't worry, I won't use your drawings for nothing. When I make money, I will share some with you."

"Master Zhao, let's talk about it after you have made money. I am looking for you today to touch up the paint. If you can spare a few days to help me, you will be paid one or two taels of silver."

Many of the tables, chairs, and benches used in Manxianglou have lost their paint, and the corridor railings, doors, windows, and capitals also need to be repaired. It is reasonable to pay Master Zhao a tael of silver.

"Okay, the original Manxianglou, right? Your aunt and I will go to work tomorrow."

After getting the right to use Yan Xiaosi's furniture blueprints, Master Zhao naturally couldn't shirk it.

After leaving Zhao's house, Yan Xiaosi and Long Wu went to Yu's private restaurant.

"Master Yu, did you make a mistake, we didn't order peanuts at this table."

"That's right, this plate of salt and pepper peanuts is given away for free."

"I'm delivering dishes again today, shopkeeper Yu, is there another happy event at Yu's private restaurant?"

"Guest officer, you guessed it right, on November [-]st, our Yu family's private restaurant will be relocated."

"The business is doing well, why do you want to relocate, and where to relocate? Shopkeeper Yu, you have to make it clear, lest we want to eat food from Yu's private restaurant in the future, and we can't find a place."

"I just moved to the original Manxiang Building. The current place is too small. The guest officials come to eat. It is not comfortable to stay in this small space. The Manxiang Building has a big land."

"Hey, shopkeeper Yu, you bought Manxianglou, congratulations."

"I didn't buy it, but my partner Xiaoyan bought it. On November [-]st, Yu's private restaurant will reopen. There will be a lot of free dishes and drinks on that day. If the guest officials are free, they can come and join us."

When Yan Xiaosi and Long Wu arrived, they happened to hear shopkeeper Yu promoting the reopening of Yu's private restaurant to the guests.

Shopkeeper Yu finished the publicity, and she and Long Wu had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Little Four, when did you come?"

Yan Xiaosi smiled and said, "It's been a while."

"You're tired of standing here, why don't you call me?"

"Uncle Yu, you are working hard to promote, I am afraid to disturb Uncle Yu."

The innermost table in the lobby was empty, shopkeeper Yu invited the two of them inside, and asked Xiao Er to pour tea and peanuts.

Yan Xiaosi drank half a cup of tea to soothe his throat.

"Uncle Yu, you've been promoting it for a few days, what's the reaction of the guests?"

Shopkeeper Yu said: "I told you the address and opening time of the new restaurant. The guests all said that they would come to join us that day, but the previous Manxiang Restaurant had a bad reputation. I can't guarantee that there will be many customers on the opening day."

This is really hard to guarantee.

Yan Xiaosi frowned and said, "Let's wait and see on the opening day. If the business is not good, I'll find another way."

"You can invite celebrities to come and help out."

Long Wu, who had been taciturn all this time, suddenly spoke.

Yan Xiaosi stared at him, his eyes lit up, and praised: "Long Wu, you can do it, someday you don't want to be with your master anymore, you can do business with me."

Holding the tea, Long Wu turned his head to one side, obviously not wanting to do business with Yan Xiaosi.

Shopkeeper Yu thought about what he said, and said, "Little brother Longwu is very reasonable, but who should you invite to help out, Mr. Yao, the magistrate?"

"Yao Jin, no."

Yan Xiaosi vetoed this person outright.

Although Yao Jin is the county magistrate of Xize County, he is not a clean official, and the people hate him to the bone when he receives a corrupt official who plunders the people's fat and anointment.

However, Xize County has only a small territory, and there are really not many celebrities, even if there is Yan Xiaosi, I don't know him. If Yao Jin is not invited, who else can he invite.

"Hey, that's a real headache."

Yan Xiaosi rubbed his brows and looked at Long Wu: "It would be great if your master was still here. The majestic general has a very good appearance. On the day of the opening, just invite him to sit in the lobby. Are you worried about not having any business?" .”

Long Wu said: "Yao Jin can't do it, but there is one person who can do it."

Yan Xiaosi asked expectantly, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Wenchang who lives in seclusion in Xinghua Village, Daxing Town."

"Is there such a Mr. Wenchang in Xinghua Village? Forgive my ignorance, I only know that there is Li Caiwang in Xinghua Village."

Yan Xiaosi had never been to Xinghua Village. Mr. Wen Chang lived in seclusion for many years and was very low-key, so it was normal not to know.

But shopkeeper Yu has heard of Mr. Wenchang's name.

"I know Mr. Wenchang, he is a respected and benevolent man."

Yan Xiaosi shifted his gaze to shopkeeper Yu, with a gossiping expression on his face.

Shopkeeper Yu recalled it for a moment, and continued: "The Wen family has been in business for generations, and they are wealthy. Ten years ago, a large-scale drought broke out in Xize County, and all the dealers died in the fields. At that time, Mr. Wen was the head of the Wen family. Seeing countless hungry people dying on the road and mourning people everywhere, he ordered the opening of the Wen family’s granary and distributed all the grain stored in the Wen family to the hungry and thirsty people. Food came to help the people, and with the help of the Wen family, many people did not starve to death that year. Soon after the plague, the Wen family retired. Everyone didn’t know where Mr. Wen Chang lived in seclusion, and thought he had brought his family with him. I left Nishizawa County, but unexpectedly, I lived in seclusion in Xinghua Village."

After listening to shopkeeper Yu's words, Yan Xiaosi had great admiration for Mr. Wenchang.

He really is a good man.

Shopkeeper Yu said: "Mr. Wenchang's name is known to everyone in Xize County. That day, I received a few bags of grain from Wen's family. If we can invite Mr. Wenchang to help out, the business of our restaurant will be greatly improved." It's bound to explode."

Yan Xiaosi looked at Long Wu.

"Long Wu, does your master have friendship with that Mr. Wenchang?"

Long Wu said truthfully: "My master has always wanted to visit that Mr. Wenchang, but I haven't had time yet."
