Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Boss Cai saw that Qiao Jianer looked serious, as if there was something very important.

He instructed his servant to weigh the goods with the Qiao family, invited Qiao Jianer to the backyard, and had someone serve him tea.

"Little girl, tell me."

Qiao Jianer said, "I heard some rumors that the higher-ups have ordered the local government to inspect the operations of restaurants and shops and collect money when necessary. They should be taking action in the next two days."

For a businessman, this news was like a bolt from the blue, and Boss Cai froze for a moment.

"Little girl, what you said is true, do you have any evidence?"

"This, this is no joke."

"I'm not kidding. I've always had people paying attention. We're doing business, so how can we not be careful?"

Boss Cai looked at her face again. It was very calm, but there was a sense of impending storm.

"You, everyone in the yard, get out." Boss Cai said a little irritably, even though Qiao Jianer spoke softly just now and no one else could hear it.

After all the people had left, Boss Cai took a deep breath.

"Little girl, although you are young, you are a person with your own ideas."

"You can't be telling me this just for the sake of telling me this. You have your own thoughts and responses."

Businessmen like them already have heavy enough taxes to pay on a regular basis. If all their money were really taken away, all his efforts of more than ten years would be wasted. How could he be willing to do that?

"I'm thinking about myself. Of course, if Boss Cai is willing to cooperate with me, then Boss Cai can pay less."

The reason why Qiao Jianer went to talk to Boss Cai about this matter was because the restaurant was completely under his control, and Boss Cai was also a man of integrity and honesty.

She didn't dare to tell anyone about such an important and life-threatening matter.

"Okay, you tell me and I listen."

Qiao Jian'er said, "Boss Cai needs to make another real account so that we can compare privately. The ingredients sold to Boss Cai have all been marked down on the books, including the prices of the dishes. As for the reason for today's price reduction, it should be noted that the seller's cost of purchasing from foreign merchants has decreased. Boss Cai should know the specifics of this better than I do."

"From today on, until those people leave, I will not sell my ingredients to anyone else. I will only sell them to Boss Cai, because the previous accounts are already set in stone, and there are some things that don't make sense when we check."

She thought that she still had to make money during this period. The war in the north of Daze State needed money, and she would contribute her own strength, but it was impossible to take away all her things.

Moreover, at such times, what is taken away from the people far exceeds what is actually needed. Many people take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and make life miserable for the people.

There was no way she would let these people get away with it.

Boss Cai considered that even if what Qiao Jianer said was not true, he was just making an extra account book. Moreover, Qiao Jianer only sold to his family during this period, which meant that she only communicated with him. She did not tell more people the news because she was afraid that it would be leaked and would implicate herself. This proved that he was credible and that she trusted her.

"Okay, Miss Qiao, you trust me and I trust you, so let's agree on a price and speak with one voice."

Boss Cai said solemnly.

"How long will it take them to arrive?"

"After the autumn harvest, about a month."

"Okay, that's more than enough. I'm just worried it'll be too urgent and many things won't be fully prepared, which could easily lead to us being caught."

"I come here every three to five days. I'll weigh them at the door in the backyard. Otherwise, other restaurants will also have to buy ingredients from me, and it will be troublesome if the prices are inconsistent."

Now Qiao Jianer would rather earn less but ensure safety.

Seeing that Qiao Jianer couldn't even make more money, the boss found this matter even more credible.

Moreover, he is the only one who can earn money from these ingredients during this period of time. Just thinking about it makes him excited.

"Don't worry, Miss Qiao. It's okay if those people don't come. If they do, our losses won't be too great." Boss Cai said.

"Since you trust me, then we are allies. Let's get through this together."

Qiao Jianer smiled, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Yes, she must get through this stage safely.

Passing by the dining hall, Qiao Jianer took a closer look and saw that the potatoes he had bought earlier had already been made into dishes and served on the table, including stewed beef brisket with potatoes, potato pancakes, roast chicken with potatoes, roast eggplant with potatoes, and even potato stewed rice.

The chefs at Jiuweilou are all very talented and good at developing various dishes. She also gave Boss Cai time. If these dishes couldn't be developed, she would sell recipes. Within a month, all kinds of potato dishes had been developed, and all those on the table were delicious. There were at least dozens or even hundreds of other dishes that were eliminated.

She could earn the money, but it wasn't very kind, and she didn't feel sorry about it.

Dayong and his men had already weighed the tomatoes and potatoes, and there were still 500 kilograms of potatoes left on the carriage, which was just enough for Boss Cai's needs.

Boss Cai called the accountant aside and gave him some detailed instructions.

The accountant was an old man in his sixties. He looked very experienced and steady, and nodded as he listened.

The latter ingredients were sold for forty-three taels, plus the former, a total of ninety-five taels.

Today is the last big order during this period, and we have almost sold to the maximum.

The final payment for the house has been made, and the family now has a total balance of just over two hundred and ten taels, but on the books there is only about ten taels.

Qiao Jianer calculated that by the time those people arrived, there would be at most twenty taels of silver on the family's account.

It's an explanation.

When I got home, the large construction site to the north and east of the house had already started.

The Qiao family had already marked out which piece of land to use for building the house, and many tents were set up on the remaining open space.

Three honest women were busy around the earthen stove, some were cutting vegetables, some were cooking, smoke was curling and the fragrance was wafting away.

There is a well behind the house, which has been abandoned for a long time. It has been cleared and cleaned in the past two days, which is just right for the craftsmen to use.

Now they are laying the foundation and the craftsmen are digging in full swing.

The foreman's surname was Liu. He had already looked at the preliminary plan of the house layout that Qiao Jianer had made, and he made some detailed plans on the drawing before handing it to Qiao Jianer.

He was a little hesitant and a little bit unbelieving that this small and thin girl, who looked only about seven or eight years old, could understand all this and even make the decision.

Originally he wanted to give it to other members of the Qiao family, but they all asked him to show it to the girl.

It's incredible.

Qiao Jianer took a careful look and said very experiencedly, "Let's make the pavilion an octagonal one. That way it can accommodate more people."

Foreman Liu's design is just an ordinary garden pavilion, which is smaller in size and not as beautiful as the octagonal pavilion.

Foreman Liu was stunned. Such a little kid actually knew what an octagonal pavilion was.

"Well, okay, now that we've made our decision, we won't change it. Everything else is fine, right?"

"No problem. Paint the pillars, railings, and door panels on both sides of the corridor vermilion red, and the top a lighter shade of ink blue. I'll arrange the paint when the time comes."

It is taboo to match red with green when people wear clothes, but when used in architecture, it is a top choice for a heavy and solemn look.

Foreman Liu looked at the little guy in front of him and was speechless for a long time.

His ideas were refreshed.

It turns out that the head of the family really doesn’t have to be of any age.

In the evening, after the Qiao family had finished their meal, they saw Old Lady Shen and a maid appear at the door.

Everyone in the Qiao family recognized this woman. She was the shaman Zhou from the neighboring village.
