177, Pie in the Sky (2nd update)
Routuan and Grey Wolf looked at the people at the door. Grey Wolf didn’t recognize them, but Routuan did.
“Woof, woof!” It barked several tis, alerting Xie Zhinuan that soone had arrived.
When Xie Zhinuan heard the dog barking, she ca out of the kitchen and saw the visitors, “You all…”
The head chef of Yuanji.
“Miss Xie!” Several chefs were extrely excited to see Xie Zhinuan.
Xie Zhinuan was surprised that they would co to find her.
She invited them to sit down under the awning, “Why have you co?”
Silly Girl served tea.
“Please, have so tea!”
After everyone took a sip, one of them finally spoke up, “We just wanted to ask if you are planning to open a restaurant, Miss Xie? If you are, we want to follow you!”
“…” Xie Zhinuan was surprised.
But looking at the few n, she knew they were serious.
“Why are you looking for ? With your culinary skills, you’d be head chefs in any restaurant you go to!” Xie Zhinuan didn’t understand and asked.
“We don’t an to hide it from you, Miss Xie, but going to any other restaurant, we all feel sothing is missing. One day, we got together and thought of finding you. After all, Miss Xie, you are kind-hearted and skilled in cooking; you really should open a restaurant!”
After hesitating for a mont, Xie Zhinuan then smiled, “It’s good that you’ve co. I actually have a business venture in mind. I originally planned to proceed slowly. But now that you are here, I don’t need to look for anyone else. Let’s do it with you guys then!”
Xie Zhinuan asked Silly Girl to borrow a map from Li Hengyi and requested Aunt Chen to prepare a few more dishes.
They quickly brought over the map.
Xie Zhinuan then began, “Look here, every county town has five towns under it. Our current location is here, in Chonghe Town, which is part of Fengping County. I have already opened a braised at shop on the mountain here, and the business is quite good. I’m thinking, would you like to open a braised at shop in so of the other mountain towns? I’ll provide the braised at recipe and a secret formula. You guys can find the shop locations. Once you do, I’ll buy them. You’ll manage them first and take care of things, and I’ll give you a thirty percent share of the profits!”
“Out of the thirty percent share, you can keep ten percent. The other twenty percent, choose a trustworthy apprentice to manage the shop. When I start a restaurant in Fengping County Town, you’ll still need to help there. In the future, it might be in the governnt city or even the capital. You ca to now because you trust , and I will definitely lead you to earn a fortune!”
A big dream was what Xie Zhinuan was painting for them.
Whether or not to bite, it was also a matter of whether they had the guts.
After so deliberation, soone quickly understood, “Miss Xie, if I were to open more braised at shops in a few other towns, would that be okay?”
Xie Zhinuan nodded, “Of course, that’s fine. But one thing, you must purchase the shops. The house and land deeds must belong to !”
Everyone nodded in agreent.
What would be the value of one shop’s ten percent profit? And what about ten shops?
What would that be with a hundred shops?
In so county towns, braised at sells even better than in towns, not to ntion in governnt cities or the capital…
As Xie Zhinuan said, by sticking with her diligently, earning a fortune would just be a matter of ti.
“The first thing I want to make clear, don’t overreach. I have limited silver for buying shops. Let’s start with one shop each, and then gradually increase. Even in choosing people, we must be serious and careful. Don’t bring in ungrateful folks,” Xie Zhinuan laid out several key points.
Everyone kept nodding their heads.
Working as a head chef at Yuanji ant three taels of silver a month, and that ca with having to look at others’ faces.
Working with Xie Zhinuan, she gave them plenty of respect and dignity. How much they would eventually earn depended on their ambition.
