After the contract was written, a large pile of silk was handed to Xia Junjie, and the Drunken Immortal Residence was in his hands.
The person sent by Li Yi didn't know how to react. He asked the broker, "Brother Song, Dongzhu actually has two other plans."
Song Ji smiled, "Xiao Tan, it's useless. The higher the price you offered, the better Xia Junjie felt his Drunken Immortal Residence was. People in our line of work are very good at judging people."
The young man called Xiao Tan nodded gratefully, but he still had questions, "Brother Song, why are you helping me?"
"Helping you? I don't know you, how can I help you? In the beginning of spring, my mother fell ill. I went to a doctor, but the doctor said there was nothing he could do.
My family was preparing for her funeral. I heard that the doctor from the Imperial Medical Department took Li Dongzhu's medical book and was willing to treat people for free.
I invited a doctor from Chang 'an. After he saw her, he said she could be saved. My family spent a lot of money, but my mother survived.
Without Li Dongzhu's medical book, I wouldn't have been able to invite a doctor. Without the doctor, my mother would be gone. "
Song Ji's eyes turned red as he wiped them with his sleeve.
Xiao Tan smiled, "Congratulations, Brother Song. The next time you fall ill, no, I mean, if you need to buy medicine, go to Zhuangzi. There's a pharmacy in Zhuangzi that specializes in cheap medicine."
"If you really don't have money, then you don't have to pay?" Song Ji suddenly asked.
"How does Brother Song know?" Xiao Tan was puzzled.
"Li Dongzhu is benevolent." Song Ji sighed.
While the two were talking, Xia Junjie was nowhere to be seen. A group of workers and chefs gathered together to wait.
The Drunken Immortal Residence was sold. What should they do next?
"That … Li Dongzhu is in Zhuangzi. Does Li Dongzhu still want us?" A worker timidly stepped forward, extremely nervous.
"Yes, yes, I just remembered. I'm Guan Xiao Tan, a worker in Li Family's Zhuangzi.
Dongzhu said that if we buy the Drunken Immortal Residence, we'll double the wages.
Today is the first day of April. You haven't received your wages from last month, right? Just in time, double. "
Xiao Tan told him the good news.
The waiters and chefs immediately beamed with joy. Last month's meal also counted? Li Dongzhu gave out money right after he left?
"Then, what should we do now?" The cowardly waiter instantly returned to his normal state.
"Learn a dish first. It's actually a staple food. Dongzhu calls it 'Turn Back'. It's a deep-fried dish. In my team, there's someone who cooks for Zhuangzi. He'll teach you."
Xiao Tan said as he waved his hand. A man in a white coat walked out from the group that brought the money.
His face was rather round and he was about forty years old. When he smiled, his eyes couldn't be seen.
"I'm the cook who cooks for the Li Family Zhuangzi. My name is Yu Mantan. When my parents gave birth to me, they had enough food to fill the vat. Since my surname is Yu, there was enough food to fill the vat."
Yu Mantan introduced himself.
The three chefs of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant stood up straight, not to mention the other chefs.
They had all heard people say that the food in Heavenly Earth was delicious.
However, the chefs in Heavenly Earth were not the best. The best ones were in the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Heavenly Earth would cook a new dish every ten days. It was said that the Li Family Zhuangzi would cook a lot of new dishes when Li Dongzhu was happy.
Those who could work as chefs in the Li Family Zhuangzi were definitely not ordinary.
"Take last month's salary first. Tell me how much you want. If you say more and it's found out, I can only ask you to leave."
Xiao Tan used to be a helper, so he knew what was the most important thing now.
A group of people stood up and said how much they could earn in a month.
"Brother Xiao Tan, does it count if I break a plate?" A waiter lowered his head.
"No, it doesn't count. In the future, you won't be deducted if you break something. If you're in a bad mood, you can break it. We have our own kiln in the Zhuangzi." Xiao Tan said with a smile.
The others followed and laughed. They found that everything was different with a new boss.
"Let's go. The Drunken Immortal Restaurant has been sold. Let's go back and eat. The food is not cold yet." The people on the second floor who were yelling about not paying before shouted again.
"Yes, let's go back and eat. We'll pay."
Xiao Tan quickly said, "Everyone, we're not collecting money today. If you want to drink, please order more. Thank you for your help."
"Did you see that? The Li Family Zhuangzi is really different. Let's go. Li Dongzhu is rich. He doesn't need a few mouthfuls of wine."
"I won't be polite with you guys. Let's go back and make some for you guys to try."
"Where did the people on the first floor go? They took all the plates away. "
Everyone chatted and laughed as they went upstairs. The people who didn't know each other before seemed to be much closer now. They chatted happily about the day's events.
"Brother Song, do you still want the broker's money?" Xiao Tan maintained a smile on his face as he asked Song Ji.
"Of course I want it. In fact, I want two portions. Xia Junjie probably packed his things and ran away. The broker ate two portions." Song Ji wasn't polite at all at this time.
"I'll give you ten times the price. I'll talk to Dongzhu later." Xiao Tan made the decision.
"Xiao Tan, does Li Dongzhu trust you guys that much?" Song Ji couldn't understand. A villager who came out to do business could just casually say how much money he would give.
"We're outside. We don't have to report spending less than a hundred taels. We just have to go back and report how we spent it." Xiao Tan said with a smile.
"Wouldn't we be able to embezzle it?" Song Ji felt that something was wrong.
"There are so many people here. It's okay to spend it. If I dare to take a single tael, they will definitely report it. The first warning, the second warning, the second warning."
Xiao Tan looked at the villagers around him. The villagers nodded their heads, indicating that Xiao Tan dared to touch it.
Song Ji shook his head. He couldn't understand. Wouldn't this group of villagers gang up to embezzle?
However, one of the villagers saw through his thoughts and said to him, "What's the use of being greedy for a hundred taels? Where will we put it after we take it? Our money is only a number.
If you want to buy something that Zhuangzi doesn't have, you can look for Steward Song. Steward Song will pay for it.
Jewelry can be bought from Zhuangzi. Gold, silver and precious stones will be made by the craftsmen. "
"I see." Song Ji understood and was envious.
"The most important thing is that a hundred taels is too little. It's only a hundred thousand taels. It's not worth being greedy. A hundred thousand taels isn't enough for an illness. We don't need to spend money in Zhuangzi. Besides, what's an imperial physician? "
Another villager asked why everyone was so obedient from the perspective of medical insurance.
At night, Xiao Tan closed the restaurant and returned to Zhuangzi with the waiter and the kitchen staff.
After arranging for them to bathe and change their clothes, Xiao Tan went to find Dongzhu, who was preparing dinner.
Li Yi was making tofu brew. Empress Wang didn't want to eat steamed meatballs anymore. She wanted to eat something with meat fillings, but it couldn't be the main dish.
If it was the Shangshi Bureau, the imperial chefs would have to kneel down. Was this a request that a human could make?
Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Yes, there is."
Hence, he made tofu brew. It wasn't the main dish, and it wasn't meatballs either. It had meat fillings.
Li Yi was cooking while Xiao Tan reported the process, including Song Ji's assistance.
"Go and find out who else is in Song Ji's family. Although he could solve the problem without him, he could. But he couldn't do it today. I'll remember this favor. "
Li Yi said to Xiao Tan. As for Xia Junjie, he didn't say anything. It was true that he was greedy, but it was disgusting that he went back on his words at the last minute.
If he did this, how could they negotiate a deal?
"Dongzhu, I'll get the waiter and kitchen staff back. Is Drunken Immortal Residence still open?" Xiao Tan asked. After asking, he realized that this matter wasn't under his control.
He was about to say that he was going to look for Steward Song when Li Yi said, "In the future, you'll be in charge of that place. Tear it down and build a new building. Find the local craftsmen and laborers."
