Wen Yao and Qiu Rongrong did not agree immediately. They only said that they could wait and see the situation.

Shopkeeper Wu knew in his heart that it was almost done. As long as these two people could stay together, there would be no need to worry about those clerks losing their jobs.

A few people went out for a walk and then came back, which made the tea shop owner behind the counter very happy.

"Shopkeeper Wu, Shopkeeper Qiu, Miss Wen, please come inside, please come inside." The teahouse shopkeeper personally led them through the door, and asked people to serve tea, then stood aside and glanced at Shopkeeper Wu.

Shopkeeper Wu nodded slightly, and the teahouse shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, with a bigger smile on his face.

"Shopkeeper, what's your surname?" Wen Yao asked.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse saluted quickly: "In response to what I'm saying, young lady, my surname is Fang. Everyone should call me shopkeeper Fang."

Wen Yao nodded, and Shopkeeper Wu asked Shopkeeper Fang to quickly invite someone to come over. Shopkeeper Fang quickly sent someone to invite him.

Not long after, a man in his 30s came to the teahouse. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Wen Yao and Qiu Rongrong. He knew someone was coming to buy a house, but he didn't expect it to be two little girls.

After Shopkeeper Wu finished the introduction, the man immediately hugged the two of them and said, "It turns out that these two are Shopkeeper Qiu and Miss Wen. I have admired them for a long time."

"Boss Li, please take a seat. I invited you here today just for the sake of this teahouse. We sisters also sincerely want to buy it. I don't know if Boss Li is sincere about selling it." Qiu Rongrong said calmly and calmly.

Boss Li sat down, looked at the two of them and smiled slightly: "You must be sincere in selling. Since you two are also sincere in buying, I won't beat around the bush. Everything in this tea house is complete. It can be said that You can continue to use it after taking it over. In addition, it was renovated last year, and all the tables, chairs and benches inside were replaced with new ones. The investment was not small."

Wen Yao and Qiu Rongrong just smiled and said nothing.

Boss Li added: "Three thousand and five hundred taels for two people. This price is really cheap in this city. If you don't believe it, you can go out and have a look. There is no restaurant that can buy it for this amount. I will also look at you two." I sincerely wanted to buy it, so I gave the real price.”

Shopkeeper Wu gave Wen Yao and Qiu Rongrong a look that said, "I guess I'm right."

Qiu Rongrong and Wen Yao frowned slightly. If it was 500 taels, they would really have to reconsider.

Shopkeeper Wu received the message from the two men's eyes, apologized, and pulled Boss Li aside to whisper.

I saw Boss Li's brows getting thicker and tighter. Shopkeeper Wu was eloquent and seemed to be saying something to him. Although Boss Li's face looked a little bad, it could be seen from his eyes that this man seemed to be moved. of.

Although 500 taels are missing, if the teahouse continues to open, he will have to keep adding money to it. The wages of the guys and so much daily consumption, even the storyteller has fewer people giving rewards recently, he You also have to pay for wages.

After all, if you keep it in your hands for a day, the teahouse will lose money.

And he is also in a hurry for money now. He had received news before that a sea trade was going to be opened in the south. If he was late, he was afraid that he would not be able to drink soup.

He knew that sea trade in the previous dynasty was very profitable. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would have another chance to venture out.

After calculating these pros and cons, 500 taels is not so difficult to give.

Finally, the two sisters saw Boss Li nodding, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

When Boss Li and Shopkeeper Wu came back and sat down again, Wen Yao poured them each a cup of hot tea.

Boss Li said: "Miss Wen, you don't have to be polite. Lao Wu just told me, 3000 taels. I agree with this price, but I have a request."

"Please tell me." Qiu Rongrong made a gesture of invitation.

Boss Li called the shopkeeper Fang, and then continued: "To be honest, I'm leaving to develop in the south this time. I'm afraid I won't come back again. But if I leave, Lao Fang and the others will have no way of living. In this teahouse There are about twenty guys in front of us. If you two think they are useful, can you keep them? You two have to recruit people anyway, so why not recruit some familiar people?"

Wen Yao raised her eyebrows. Forget about the waiter, he didn't even take the shopkeeper away?Aren’t the shopkeepers at this time all domestic slaves?

Perhaps seeing Wen Yao's doubts, Boss Li explained: "Lao Fang is a free agent. He only signed a contract with my family for employment. He is not a prostitute. He has been working in our teahouse since my father's time and has been working for decades. .

The waiters in the teahouse are all the same. They are all hired and not sold. If you two agree, I can transfer the documents I signed with them to you. "

The ready-made waiters and shopkeepers save Wen Yao and Qiu Rongrong.

"That's no problem. As long as they pass our assessment, they can stay, but we have to say something up front. If they are cheating and sneaking, we won't want them, and they will continue to work in our restaurant. , you must strictly follow our requirements. If you can't do it, Boss Li had better dismiss the people earlier."

Wen Yao said it very rudely, but in business, it is not something that can be solved by human relationships. After all, in the future, everything will be eaten, and there is no room for mistakes.

Boss Li nodded: "Of course I understand. Later I will gather everyone together and ask them. If they want to stay, they can stay. If they want to leave, I will also give some money to send them away. I will not give them any money." It's causing trouble."

The two nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Boss Li."

Boss Li asked them to rest for a while, and then he took the housekeeper to the backyard. There were a few guests who also gave them things, and they went out without paying for today's tea, and the door was closed immediately.

When they arrived at the backyard, everyone gathered in one place. Everyone knew at this time that the teahouse was probably going to be sold. The expressions on everyone's faces were different, but the only thing that was the same was that they were all full of sadness. .

Boss Li did not hide anything from them, and explained the situation, and finally said: "You have been with me for so many years, and I have not treated you badly. I can't not make arrangements for you at the end of the day. I have also made an agreement with the new owner. If If you want to stay, you can stay, but the new owner also has requirements. You must pass their assessment and pass the assessment before you can continue to stay.

You decide for yourself whether you want to stay or not. If you don’t, I won’t treat you badly. I’ll give you two taels of silver as severance pay each, which means I’ll give you three months’ wages in advance. These three months are enough for you to find a job. Next job. "

After saying that, Boss Li looked at the guys who had been following him for many years and sighed: "Okay, I have said everything that needs to be said. You can think about it yourself. Whatever you want to keep, stay in the shop. If you want to leave, just tell Lao Fang, pay your wages, take your severance package and go home."

After saying that, Boss Li left the backyard and returned to the hall. Wen Yao and Qiu Rongrong were still waiting there. Shopkeeper Wu prepared all the documents for handover and put them on the table.
