In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this and asked excitedly, "Is it true that I can stay and continue working here?"

To be honest, if he wasn't forced to do so, why would he sell the shop? After all, he has developed deep feelings for this shop.

If he could stay, he would be happy even if he only earned a small salary as long as he could support his family.

"of course can."

Xia Wanwan smiled and nodded, then said, "Then it's a deal. The total is 270 taels of gold. I'll pay 100 taels of gold as a deposit first, and I'll pay you the balance tomorrow."

"Ok."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and smiled happily.

Xia Wanwan took out a hundred taels of gold from her bag, handed it to him, and instructed, "The restaurant will be closed for a while. I need to renovate the interior. As for how to do it, I'll give you a blueprint and you can hire a craftsman to do it. Write down the wages and come to me for reimbursement."

This restaurant serves Chinese food, so she doesn't plan to use it to open a hot pot restaurant. Judging from the luxurious decoration, it would be a waste to open it as a hot pot restaurant.

There was no need for her to make any major changes to such an elegant restaurant. Just a few minor adjustments would be enough to open it. There was no need for her to go to such lengths.

The shopkeeper also said that this restaurant was facing the situation of not being able to operate because it could not find more ingredients, and the thing she lacked the least was ingredients.

"As for the dishes, you can order the chef to prepare a portion of each dish later. I will then taste them and decide whether to keep or cancel them."

Although Chinese cuisine is delicious, this is the capital after all. The chefs in the capital should not be too bad, and there may be even more amazing dishes.

"Good owner."

The shopkeeper quickly changed his words and ordered someone to take out the house deed. After signing and sealing it, he handed it to Xia Wanwan with both hands.

Soon, the chef prepared a batch of all the dishes in the restaurant. Some ingredients were out of stock, so they couldn't be made. Xia Wanwan was not in a hurry, because there would be plenty of opportunities to taste them later.

After tasting all the dishes, Xia Wanwan only liked two dishes, one was their signature braised duck with sauce, and the other was stir-fried pork intestines.

"This braised duck with soy sauce is good. You can keep it and use it as a cold dish in our restaurant. The stir-fried pig intestines are also good, but the taste is a little lacking. However, the chef has a good control of the heat and fried them very crispy. I'll bring you some ingredients later. This way, the fried pork intestines will be more fragrant and without any fishy smell."

After trying them all, Xia Wanwan finally kept only these two dishes.

The shopkeeper was embarrassed and asked, "Boss! Are you only going to keep these two dishes? You don't want the others?"

You know, when they had the ingredients in the past, their store was packed every day just because they tasted so good.

As a result, the new owner only retained two dishes.

Xia Wanwan knew what he was thinking. She pointed at the twenty or thirty dishes on the table and pointed out the problems with each dish in detail. "The rabbit meat is not cooked right. Although it tastes okay, it's overcooked. And all this meat is too tough and only suitable for young people. If the elderly and children eat it, they won't be able to chew it. I have a menu here. I will give it to you and teach you how to cook it."

"Good owner."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper didn't say anything more. After all, the boss had already tasted the food. Since she said she wouldn't keep it and there was a new menu and cooking method, it meant that there were better tasting dishes.

But he was very curious about how delicious the dishes the host would bring out would be.

Xia Wanwan asked the shopkeeper to open a private room for her and asked everyone to leave, leaving only her and her sister Xia Qingqing inside.

"Sister! Why don't we go out and look at other stores?"

Seeing that she had no intention of continuing shopping, Xia Qingqing sat next to her and asked curiously.

"Not for now. I don't have enough money in my vault right now. I'll wait until the money from Black Oppa's auction is converted into silver and gold."

Xia Wanwan took out a pen and a notebook from the space and searched online for China's eight major national banquets and the most famous delicacies from various places.

Sichuan cuisine is the most popular, followed by non-spicy Cantonese cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and so on...

Sichuan cuisine has a wide variety of dishes, and while it uses a lot of seasonings, it's still full of color, flavor, and flavor, and the meat is tender and not greasy. Cantonese cuisine's soup is the crown jewel, and Hunan cuisine also has several famous dishes. Together, these dishes number in the dozens, more than enough to fill a restaurant.

Fortunately, she was a foodie in her previous life and liked to study food in her free time. She can cook all the dishes she wrote down, and the taste is as good as that of a five-star chef.

Even some small stir-fried dishes have the taste of home, which is the most precious thing.

"Sister! I want to go out for a walk."

Xia Qingqing felt a little bored staying here and wanted to go out for a walk and see if there was anything she wanted to buy.

Xia Wanwan took out some silver and copper coins from the space and gave them to her. "Go ahead. Call me if you need anything."

"Ah."

Xia Qingqing happily took the silver and walked out of the restaurant.

Xia Wanwan searched for decoration pictures on the Internet and drew them on a notebook. When she went downstairs, she handed them to the shopkeeper and asked him to call the craftsmen to make them.

"Boss! I really don't understand why there is a stage in the hall?"

The shopkeeper looked confused and held the blueprint, very puzzled.

"You'll know when the time comes." Xia Wanwan handed him the blueprints without saying much. "I have something else to do, so I'll need to go out first. Please ask someone to pack these things up first."

"Ok."

The shopkeeper didn't ask any more questions. After seeing Xia Wanwan leave, he immediately ordered someone to find the best craftsman.

Xia Wanwan came to an uninhabited place and entered the space. Then she put on a set of men's clothes and put on her makeup. When she came out of the space again, she had become a handsome young man.

"What a handsome young man! I see you don't look familiar. Is this your first time visiting our Chunhua Tower?"

As soon as Xia Wanwan walked into a brothel, she was pulled inside by the old lady. When she saw her pretty and extraordinary temperament, she smiled so hard that her mouth could hardly close.

"Well! This is my first time here. Are there any girls who can dance, sing or play the piano? Call all of them over and dance for me to cheer me up."

Xia Wanwan disguised her voice. Although it didn't sound as good as those grown men, it definitely sounded like the voice of a handsome young man.

"Sir, you've come to the right place. Most of the girls here can dance, but Miss Mudan is our top girl. She's currently accompanying a young master. How about I arrange for you to have one of the other girls?"

When the old mother heard that she wanted all the girls to perform, she thought that she could make a lot of money again, and she smiled so hard that she could hardly close her mouth.

"can."

Xia Wanwan is not an unreasonable person and knows what first come first served means.

But then, there was a sound of something being knocked over in the next room, accompanied by a woman's crying voice and calling for help.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your pleasure, but something must have gone wrong with Mudan. Let me go and see what's going on."

When the old mother heard the noise from next door, she apologized to Xia Wanwan with a smile, then turned around and walked out in shame.

The young man next door is not easy to deal with, and I don’t know how Mudan offended him.

Xia Wanwan didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when she heard the old lady say that the voice calling for help from next door was the top girl Mudan, she decided to go and check it out.

After all, her purpose of coming here was to find a girl who could dance and play the piano. Since she was the top girl, she must be good, so she had to go and see for herself.
