Master Qian could only snappily withdraw his chopsticks.
This scene was seen by the second, looking at the fifth's eating, the genus was a bit humiliated.
Quietly, he poked him in the waist with a chopstick under the table, aiming to remind him to be more considerate of his image.
"Ha!" The fifth brother's hand shook, the chopsticks fell onto the table, and the meat in his mouth almost fell out as well, then he hurriedly closed his mouth and swallowed the meat in his mouth before saying: "Second brother! Why are you poking me? Don't you know I'm ticklish!"
"You! You foolish batch!" The second was so angry that he nearly fainted.
Seeing everyone looking in their direction, Kui Wu said quickly: "This is the nature of these brothers of mine, so don't blame them..."
"That's right! I'm sorry!" The second brother hurriedly smiled and spoke. Then pulling up the fifth next to him, he said: "Come with me for convenience."
"Oh!" Seeing that there was nothing left to eat on the table, the fifth did not refuse and followed the second brother's lead out of the private room door.
The two of them saw that the hall of the restaurant had already begun to have guests come for meals, so the second pulled the fifth to an unoccupied compartment and walked in.
"Second brother, you don't want to settle it here, do you? Do you have a personal grudge against Shopkeeper Tong?" the fifth brother rubbed the back of his head, a little puzzled.
"Pah!" After hearing this, the second brother said angrily: "It's a miracle that you can survive this long!"
Then exhaled another breath: "Old Five, look at the way you just ate! All the people here in the private room are rich people, they can't stand to see unruly people, the way you just looked. If that Xu family knew that big brother's brothers were such rude people, they would probably think differently of big brother, and don't forget that big brother's deed of sale is still in their hands!"
The second brother continued: "I can see that the old man is quite nice, he shouldn't be that kind of a person, should he?"
The second brother said helplessly: "They may be nice to big brother, but we're only meeting for the first time today, don't you know how to restrain yourself, they're talking about business, how much do you think it affects people's moods when you just acted like that?"
The old Five said awkwardly: "I... I've always eaten that way, and I didn't change it for a while."
"You must change in the future, think about the fact that it's because you eat too much, when you used to help people as a short-term worker, they stopped wanting to employ you the next day, don't you understand?" The second brother spoke sincerely.
"Oh, I understand, second brother, I will definitely eat less in the future!"
At this time in the private room, Master Qian said: "Old man, you want to do this hot pot business, don't you?"
"Yes, Master Qian, what do you think?"
"For people like me who like spicy food, this hot pot is delicious, but for people who can't eat spicy food, they can't eat it no matter how delicious it is!" Master Qian said.
"Yes, Master Qian is right. Older brother, have you thought of any compromise method to make this hot pot suitable for people with different tastes?" Shopkeeper Tong also helped with the analysis.
How could Qibao, a bright mind like theirs, not think of it! She had mentioned it to Grandpa long ago.
The old man chuckled and said: "That's not simple! This would require a special pot to be customized, like the Bagua Diagram, separating a pot down the middle with spicy soup on one side and clear soup on the other, so that a variety of guests can be catered to!"
"Wonderful, wonderful! Old man, you are much smarter than people of the same age. If you were ten or twenty years younger, making money would be easy for you!" Master Qian admired him.
"Well...if I had been smart when I was young, I wouldn't have gotten rich so late!" The old man blushed and looked at Qibao, who was covering her mouth and snickering.
"That shows that the old man is a late bloomer of wisdom!" Master Qian said with a smile.
Shopkeeper Tong saw some clues and immediately interrupted: "We have tasted this red soup today. Brother, what is the clear soup you are talking about?"
The old man coughed and said: "This is very important. You need to simmer the bones over low heat for a day and a night, and the soup that comes out is delicious and highly nutritious."
"It seems that the old man has thought this through, since he chose to cooperate with someone like me, Master Qian..." Chuckled Master Qian.
The old man also understood what he meant and said: "In this case, I'll give Master Qian a 15% share, and you don't need to do anything else, as long as you take care of the store."
Master Qian did some calculations in his mind, with the flavor of the hot pot he ate today. Once this store is opened, the business will definitely be unstoppable, not to mention that in a place like Qingyun City, there are many more wealthy people than in Huamen Town.
Seeing that he didn't know what he was thinking, the old man added: "If Master Qian can develop branches, then that's a huge profit!"
Master Qian's eyes lit up as he said: "What the old man means is that as long as I can open a branch, I will get 15% of each store's share?"
"Right! Master Qian, what do you think?"
"Okay, let's do it! But it's not easy to open this business! I'm afraid that someone will come looking for trouble. We don't have any background, and we can't resist if someone else targets us." Master Qian said.
"Brothers like Kui Wu are all capable people. You should take them with you this time to protect your safety and wait until you have a firm foothold first. "The old man said.
"I'm a person who doesn't dare to say big words about anything else, but I'm still confident in this aspect of socializing with people, I think the first thing we need to do is to visit those people who can manage to spread the word locally in Qingyun City. Only if we have a good relationship with them can this plan progress smoothly, but naturally, it's not going to be easy to give them benefits." Master Qian remarked.
"Well, that's right. I will bring you some money when the time comes. It will cost money to buy a shop, materials and other things." The old man said.
Shopkeeper Tong said: "Older brother, I remember when my young master left, did he give you a token?"
The old man said: "It is true."
"That's good then, if you run into trouble that you can't solve in Qingyun City, you guys can take this token and go to Lord Governor, he'll definitely help." Shopkeeper Tong said.
"That's... not good..." the old man hesitated.
"The young master gave you the token because he believed that your Xu family is a good person and would not use his token to do bad things in his name. What's more, the token that the young master gave you was meant to help you encounter difficulties. Take it out and use it." Shopkeeper Tong said.
Qibao thought that Jingchen had also given her a token. Since the token given by Su Chenyu was of such great use, it is estimated that the token given by Jingchen had almost the same use.
"Good, it's a pity that Chenyu isn't in Huamen Town, otherwise I would have been able to thank him properly in person."
The old man originally thought that this token was only useful to Zuixianoul, but he didn't expect that anyone who could become an official would recognize it. It seems that Su Chenyu's identity must be very prestigious.
After seeing that things are almost done, it's time to sign the contract.
In the contract, various matters were clearly stated one by one, and both parties signed and fingerprinted it.
The two of them each received one share, and shopkeeper Tong served as a witness, so he also received one share.
Master Qian said: "Old man, in the future, our two families will be a partnership, and Qian has a request, I don't know if it's appropriate to speak or not."
"Master Qian, if you have anything, just say it, I will definitely help if I can!" The old man said.
"It's like this. If I go to Qingyun City this time, I will probably have to leave my wife and two sons at home for a short time. I am a little worried. I want them to live temporarily in Xujia Village. Can you take care of them?" Asked Master Qian.
