121 Chapter 121 Planning

When they finally came out of the restaurant after having their fill, Zhou Ying realized that Manager Liu was not there, so she could only keep this matter in mind.

After leaving the restaurant, they both asked around and found Dongxin Restaurant. Looking at the plaque that had been thrown to the ground and trampled on, as well as the broken window, the two looked at each other. Not only did they not feel the slightest bit of heartache, but they felt happy instead.

It could be seen that the Qiao family had angered the public. Therefore, there wouldn’t be many people who would reject them taking the restaurant over.

Zhou Ying took out her key and went to open the entrance. There were also two floors here, with the lobby on the first floor measuring about 100 square meters, which is very spacious indeed.

However, the room was a mess now. Although the tables and chairs were not broken, they were overturned, with all kinds of dishes and plates everywhere. There was no place to stand at all.

After that, the two of them spent two hours tidying and cleaning up the place.

The couple sat down after all that. Gu Chengrui turned his head and said, “Babe, what do you want to sell after opening up? These tables and chairs are all made of the best quality elm wood. If we use them, we can save some money.”

Zhou Ying pondered and said, “Although General Zhou said that he’s not afraid of us affecting Hongyun restaurant’s business, we can’t be that thick-skinned. So I plan to sell hot pot and barbecue with a few signature dishes, just like our original world’s north-western restaurant. This way, there won’t be any conflict.

“That’s a good idea. Not only will we avoid clashing with Hongyun Restaurant, but we’ll also have an easier time with our business.” Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement.

After that, the couple discussed how to arrange the seats and tools.

They went straight to the second floor when they were almost done with their discussion. The second floor was a much simpler design, with eight private rooms. There were even three tables with dishes still on them.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying picked up the undamaged ones and packed them up, putting them aside. Then, she cleared the tables and cleaned up the utensils in the back kitchen.

She didn’t expect the kitchen to be even more chaotic. What could be taken away had been taken away, and what couldn’t be taken away had been smashed.

Seeing this, the two of them were too lazy to clean up. In the end, the two of them found the warehouse, but there was not even a single vegetable leaf.

Gu Chengrui looked at the messy footprints on the ground and said, “It seems that when those guys left, they took away the rest of the things.”

“Most likely. But I have to say, Elder Qiao is such a failure, owning such a big restaurant but doesn’t even have a single loyal worker.” Zhou Ying added.

Gu Chengrui said, “That’s why we must be cautious when choosing our workers in the future. We have to treat them well too.”

“Yeah, but I think buying a few core servants with death contracts is better. I don’t want to be stabbed in the back in the future.”

“Then we will go with your suggestion. The Ming Dynasty is very strict about managing servants with death contracts, which will definitely put us at ease.”

After that, the two of them went outside and hired two laborers to remove all the garbage from the restaurant.

Once finishing up their work, the two were about to go home when a middle-aged man with a bag on his back walked in.

“Uncle, what’s the matter?” Gu Chengrui went up to him.

“Young man, are you the new owner of this building? I’m a specialist in renovating, and I have more than 20 people working under me. Do you want us to renovate the place? ” The middle-aged man proposed as he scanned the restaurant.

“Of course, but I haven’t decided what to do yet. Why don’t you tell me your contact address, Uncle? I’ll look for you when I’ve decided.”

“That’s fine too. My name is Zhang Daniu. I live near the main street in the No. 4 courtyard in the second alleyway. You’ll know once you get there and ask around.” The uncle turned around and left after giving his address.

“The renovation here will cost at least 50 taels of silver,” he added before leaving.
