Boss Wei’s face was glowing as he was busy, and when he saw Song Wan Yue and Gu Yi coming down from upstairs, he was busy greeting them, his tone carrying an overwhelming joy, “Young master, Miss Song, the table has been turned over twice.”
He had expected today to be a hot day, but not such a hot day, the lobby was full all the time.
“Tell the guys in the front hall to pay more attention, don’t burn anyone.”
“I’ve been telling them to keep an eye on it, don’t worry young master.”
As Song Wangyue watched the fiery scene in the lobby, an idea formed in her head.
……
“Young master.”
“Young master.”
At the door of the kitchen in the backyard, the two chefs stood pitifully, the two of them used to be the busiest, but now they were so idle that they were about to grow hair, and just now they were muttering that if things continued like this, they would both lose their rice bowls.
Looking at their expressions, he knew what they were thinking, so Gu Yi went forward and patted their “tall” shoulders with each hand, “Relax, this is only temporary, after this period, the restaurant will still rely on you two.”
The two of them immediately withdrew their pitiful expressions, “We’ll listen to Young Master.”
Gu Yi withdrew his hand, “Since there are less people, you guys should go back inside and rest.”
“Thank you, young master.”
Gu Yi nodded slightly, put his hands behind his back and walked with four steady steps towards his house.
Song Wangyue looked amused, every time Gu Yi pretended to look like an adult he was like this.
Inside the house, Song Shen was still blaming himself, Yue was obviously younger than him, yet she was calm and collected in everything she did, but she couldn’t do anything right.
“Second brother, Gu Yi, I have a new idea.”
Song Wangyue said as soon as she entered the door.
“What, what idea?”
Song Shen asked subconsciously.
“It’s impossible for us to go to the capital to find someone to work with, but we can sell the base to the whole country.”
“Sell the primers?”
Song Shen asked rhetorically in surprise, having completely forgotten his self-condemnation.
Gu Yi was also “surprised”, but a smile unconsciously swept through his eyes, the little girl and his thoughts coincided.
“Yes.”
Song Wan Yue sat down on the chair beside Song Shen, “The reason why hot pot is delicious is entirely in the base, and the base has been processed, it will not be easily seen what has been used, and it is also easy to preserve, whether it is bought by individuals or restaurants, all you need to do is add water, make the ingredients and then you can eat it, ordinary families can also not use charcoal pots, cooking in a pot is fine, and we don’t have to go around and work with people.”
“It’s a good idea indeed, the marketing is still ours, you just make the base.”
“What do you think, Second Brother?”
“I ……”
“Second Brother just say it, don’t worry about being right or wrong.”
“I, I think it’s fine too.”
“Then it’s decided, when we get home, you’ll be responsible for telling the family, Second Brother, and not only that, we might have to find a few people in the village, and you’ll be responsible for that too.”
“I can’t.”
Song Shen waved his hand anxiously, “Little sister, just don’t make it difficult for me, I really can’t, I’ll tell my family, you, can you find someone in the village?”
“No!”
“Yue’er ……”
Song Shen all but begged, he, he really couldn’t.
“Goon.”
If in the past, Gu Yi had dared to say that, Song Shen would have jumped up and fought with him, but now he had little reaction, he was just a wimp.
“Second brother is afraid to go looking for someone, you can think of ways, for example, let third uncle help you, and then go to the village chief, there are many ways.”
“Can, can you do it?”
“Remember, Second Brother, no matter what you do, you must not be a stickler, if this way doesn’t work, take another way, if this way doesn’t work, think of another way.”
……
When the restaurant’s customers had almost dispersed, Song Wan Yue wrote a list, had Xiao Si go to the pharmacy and buy herbs, boiled several large pots of herbal tea in the chef’s room, and only then did she and Gu Yi, Song Shen go home in a carriage.
On the way home, Song Shen was thinking about how to tell her family about the hot pot base she was selling when she returned.
Seeing him like this, Gu Yi skimmed his lips and tried to taunt him, but Song Wan Yue noticed and gave him a fierce glare.
Gu Yi immediately became honest, and not only that, he even put his face in front of Song Shen and asked with a smile, “Do you want me to help you with an idea?”
The word “want” was on his lips, but Song Shen swallowed it back again.
Although the Gu family had a large fortune and countless businesses, they were all run by Master Gu, and Gu Yi was not smart enough to play tricks on people.
“No, you don’t need to hitch me, let me be quiet.”
Gu Yi withdrew the smile from his face and gave him a big blank stare, “Dog bites Lü Dongbin.”
Song Shen ignored him and put his fingers in his mouth, chewing on his nail caps as he thought.
Gu Yi moved to the side in disgust.
When he arrived home, the nail caps on Song Shen’s ten fingers were all gnawed and convex, and he also exhaled deeply, disembarked from the carriage as if he was dying, and walked boldly into the courtyard, “Grandfather, grandmother, eldest uncle, eldest aunt, you all come out, I have something to say to you.”
Song Wan Yue, ……
pulled Gu Yi, who had gotten off the carriage, to stand outside.
“Shen’er, what is it?”
Several people came out of the house at a quick pace, even Erma followed them out.
Looking at a few people in unison, Song Shen’s brain was empty for a moment, even the words he had just thought of in the carriage were forgotten, stammering, “It’s, it’s that, restaurant, hotpot ……”
“What are you talking about?”
Song Shen’s head was sweating, but the more anxious he was, the less he could say.
Song Wan Yue was really anxious for him and pulled Gu Yi into the courtyard, “Second brother means that the hot pot is selling very well.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Seeing her, Song Shen instantly had a backbone, and the words he had said in his heart countless times along the way came to mind, “Yue’er said that we could make the hotpot base to sell, and we would definitely make a lot of money.”
Song Wan Yue looked at him appreciatively.
Song Shen’s confidence increased, “Yue’er also said that in the future the hot pot base business would be given to me.”
“Wait, wait ……”
Song Lin came over, “You guys mean we only sell hot pot base?”
Song Shen nodded, “Yes, Yue’er also said that the few people in our family alone are not enough, and that we need to find a few more people in the village to come over and do the work.”
“How will that work ……”
The hot pot base is a secret recipe, so what if someone comes to do the work and gets stolen?”
“You can sign a deed of sale.” Gu Yi said.
Grandma Song was startled, “How is that possible?”
Even when the years were bad, no one in the village sold themselves, let alone now when times are better, it is even more impossible.
“Why not?”
Gu Yi was puzzled, those in his family had all signed a deed of sale when they were bought.
“Gu Yi has a point, the village people have to sign a deed of sale if they want to come over to work.”
