Transmigrated into Substitute Bride ‘Fu Lang’ - Chapter 114

    Hearing Chen Xing’s words, and looking at the sincere smile on his face, knowing that he was not perfunctory, Gao Yaye felt a little relieved.

    Immediately, Gao Yao seemed to think of something, looking at Chen Xing, who was still observing the situation in the store, and Gu Lang, whose eyes were always on Chen Xing, and said loudly:

    “By the way, you don’t have another shop to visit. We’ll go with you now to prevent such a thing from happening again.”

    Chen Xing’s first reaction was that it was too much trouble for them. Just now, Gao Yajian helped them frighten the shopkeeper here once, and he immediately had to trouble them a second time.

    Just when Chen Xing wanted to refuse, Gu Lang, who was next to him, agreed in one breath, “There is a job for the high yamen.”

    “No trouble, no trouble, this is our duty.” Seeing that they agreed to his proposal, Gao yamen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the county magistrate’s order was to put this The three shops were recovered and handed over to Chen Xing and the others.

    After the group agreed, they walked towards the third shop, but the third shop was different from what they had imagined. on the side.

    It only sells simple pasta, but there are not many customers coming and going. It can even be described as a chore, which forms a sharp contrast with the restaurant next to it.

    The middle-aged man looked stunned, he didn’t look like he was a conscientious person, but the young man who ran the hall. After they came in, his eyes kept rolling, as if he was Judge their origins.

    When Gu Lang stepped forward to explain their identities, the middle-aged man immediately showed a face that the sky was falling, and he was a little flustered and didn’t know what to do, while the young man looked at Gu Lang, made a request for wages.

    Facing Gu Lang’s cold face, the young man was not at all embarrassed and said with a smile: “Young master, we are all poor people, we originally came out to work to make a living, since If you want to take over this small restaurant, you should of course pay our wages.”

    Gu Lang felt that the young man was right, nodded, and then asked them how much their monthly wages were.

    The young man quickly revealed that he is the runaway and handyman here, and his salary is half a tael per month. The middle-aged man is the head here, and his salary is one or two half a month.

    The young man took the money from Chen Xing, weighed the amount, thanked him, and then asked him: “Little boss, if you still want to recruit workers there, I will Can you go?”

    Chen Xing listened to his question, his eyes moved to him, his eyes couldn’t help but wonder, it seemed a little strange why he asked such a question.

    The young man seemed to be very observant, and after seeing the doubts on Chen Xing’s face, he immediately defended himself: “I think the son’s store in the future may need more manpower, so he will There is this question.”

    “You know me?” Hearing what he said, Chen Xing felt even more curious.

      That’s why I wanted to recommend myself, after all it’s hard to find a buddy these days.”

    After listening to him explain the ins and outs in a few words, Chen Xing felt that he was a good person, and he was a little more interested in him. After thinking for a moment, after asking his name, let him go to the Chen family restaurant three days later to find him, and then decide whether to use him or not.

    The young man thanked Dade, and the middle-aged man looked at the young man, opened his mouth, and seemed to want to be like him, asking for an errand in front of the new owner.

    But as soon as he raised his head, he met Gu Lang’s expressionless face and those serious yamen officers. In the end, he still muttered a few words, turned around and left here.

    After dealing with the only two people here, the ownership of the store belongs to Chen Xing and them.

    Chen Xing carefully observed the terrain here, not far in front of him is the pier where people come and go, the boatmen and the endless stream of people, no matter how you look at it, it will not be a lack of place of business.

    Just based on what he saw just now, he doubted his own judgment again, and finally he looked at the young man who followed behind him, and asked, “Your business here okay?”

    The young man named Wang Zhe thought for a while, looked at the face of the new owner in front of him, and finally chose to tell the truth, “Not very good.”

    “Why?”

    I saw that the young man’s face changed, and he seemed very entangled, and finally he opened his mouth slowly, “This, I think, maybe the food is not to the taste of the guests.”

    Out of the corner of Chen Xing’s eyes, he saw a few **** of dough left on the table, he thought about it and said, “Will you go down?”

    After the young man nodded, he immediately gave Chen Xing a bowl of noodles.

    Chen Xing tried a bite, and felt that it was either a matter of whether it suits the taste of the guests, or a matter of no taste at all. He looked at the apprehensive young man beside him, and continued, “Your shop has always done this, have you ever thought about changing it?”

    The young man scratched his head, and seemed a little embarrassed, and said directly: “I’m just a runaway. In the past, a distant relative of the owner had the final say, and I was in the shop. Can’t even talk.”

    Chen Xing nodded when he heard the words, and vaguely understood why there were only the two of them here today.

    After continuing to observe the environment of the store, sending the youth to close the store, and thanking the official who had followed them for so long, Chen Xing and the others returned to Gu’s house.

    When the noodle was eaten and the stomach was satisfied, Chen Xing began to talk to Gu Lang about the experience of visiting the store today.

    Just before speaking, Chen Xing suddenly realized a problem, that is, the owner of these shops is Gu Lang, not himself, even if he wants to have only control, he has to pass through Gu Lang consent.

    Perceiving Chen Xing’s gaze, Gu Lang turned his head to look at him, with a little more doubt in his eyes, “What’s wrong?”

    Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang in front of him and felt a little embarrassed, but still whispered his concerns, “These stores are all yours, so I made a decision without permission or not. it is good.”

    Looking at Chen Xing’s worrying appearance, Gu Lang finally couldn’t hold back, raised his hand and gently rubbed his head, his tone was extraordinarily gentle.

    “Did you say you want to manage the family’s expenses?”

    Chen Xing nodded.

    “Is this store part of the family’s livelihood?”

    Chen Xing hesitated, but nodded.

    “So, it’s all part of the family’s livelihood, isn’t it normal to spend it as you please?”

    Chen Xing felt that something wasn’t right, but he couldn’t tell what wasn’t right. Finally, under Gu Lang’s gaze, he could only nodded stiffly.

    Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he said warmly: “In the future, this family will have to work hard for you. I will try my best to cooperate with you in whatever you want to do in the future. yours.”

    Chen Xing glanced at the hand he was holding by Gu Lang, only to feel a warm current coming from the palm of the two hands, then looked up at Gu Lang in front of him, staring at him Looking at himself with incomparably gentle eyes, he finally replied softly, “Yeah.”

    Since it was agreed that day, Chen Xing quickly worked out the purpose of the two stores and the redecoration plan.

    The winery remains the same, but the wine it sells has changed from the wine that was originally purchased from other places to the wine they brew. And at that noodle restaurant, he was going to sell lo mei. Since the wild boar braised pork, his lo mei has always been very popular, but he was too busy, so he reduced the amount later.

      Open up, it also needs more people.

    Thinking of this, Chen Xing sighed helplessly, and suddenly felt that the young man he saw in the noodle shop that day did have foresight, isn’t he missing someone now?

    Gu Lang, who was reading a book at a desk not far away, raised his eyes to see Chen Xing frowning, and seemed very distressed, put down the book in his hand, and asked him a question ,”What’s going on here?”

    Faced with Gu Lang’s question, Chen Xing didn’t hide it, he directly expressed his troubles, and added at the end, “Actually, what I am most worried about is that even if there is If there are enough people, it will be a particularly troublesome thing when the people in the past go wrong.”

    After all, he only has one person, and it is troublesome enough to manage one store. If he manages several stores at the same time, it is still a little difficult for him to be inexperienced.

    Hearing Chen Xing’s question, Gu Lang laughed softly, took his hand and played with it, stroking his thin calluses from the palm of his hand, in his embarrassment In his eyes, he slowly said:

    “What’s so difficult about this? You’ve chosen someone, and we’ll sign a contract. If you’re still worried, you can ask them to sign the person’s contract directly, and then check the ledger regularly. If you breach the contract, you will be sent directly to officials for punishment.”

    Chen Xing was very moved when he heard Gu Lang raise this question, turned his head to look at Gu Lang, who was looking down at his fingers, and asked directly, “Will they be severely punished?”

    Gu Lang raised his eyes to look at Chen Xing, seeing that his eyes were all pure and ignorant, a little smile appeared in his eyes, and said lightly: “The light ones will go bankrupt, the heavy ones will be exiled and sentenced. “

    Chen Xing was taken aback by Gu Lang’s words. He did not expect that the laws of this era would be so harsh. After all, it was just embezzlement of the owner’s money.

    Hearing Chen Xing’s question, Gu Lang didn’t dislike him for being Xiaobai, and explained the reason to him carefully.

    “This dynasty was heavily taxed, and merchants’ taxation was the highest among them, accounting for almost half of it. Under such a huge interest trend, it is natural to ensure the interests of merchants first. In sheep, only when the sheep is raised well can the wool be harvested well.”
