While Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were busy gorging themselves, the gatekeeper rushed in again.
Even though the Du Family was quite prominent, there weren't many people who came here on a normal day, especially not so many people who came one after another. Today, after Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin entered, more people came.
The gatekeeper's footsteps were quick, his expression hurried, and he soon entered the courtyard to report, "Young Master, there are three more people outside. Fang Yiai, Qu Tuquan, and Liu Renshi have entered."
Du Qi's thoughts raced.
Qu Tuquan was the youngest son of the famed general Qu Tutong. He was also the second son, less than twenty years old. Qu Tutong had him when he was old.
Liu Renshi was the son of the famed general Liu Hongji.
Whether it was Qu Tutong or Liu Hongji, they were all future heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion and men of the Duke of Qin's residence.
Du Qi was not surprised by these people.
Because everyone knew that the restaurant was a place to make money, and they all hoped to invest. Of course, there were also some who did not come. Perhaps they did not think highly of the restaurant, or perhaps they were not on good terms with Du Ruhui.
Du Qi ordered the gatekeeper to invite them in.
Not long after, Fang Yiai, Qu Tuquan, and Liu Renshi entered. Fang Yiai was young, but he was familiar with Du Qi, so he was more familiar with him. In particular, Fang Yiai often visited the Du Qi residence these days, and had already eaten the food in Du Qi's courtyard, so he knew the situation.
Therefore, when he saw Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin gulping down the food, he couldn't help but say, "Erlang, let's put this matter aside for now. It won't be too late to talk about it after I eat."
Fang Yiai immediately rushed over.
Qu Tuquan and Liu Renshi were newcomers, and both of them had come with a mission. They both hoped to get a share of the loot, so although their eyes were darting around and their hearts were filled with joy, they did not act rashly.
Only the movement of their Adam's apple and the look of anticipation on their faces revealed their eagerness.
Both of them were aware of what had happened at the banquet.
Therefore, they were very much looking forward to it.
Especially when they were standing in the courtyard, they naturally smelled the aroma of rice and vegetables. Therefore, even if they didn't eat it, they could still feel the exquisite taste of the food.
Du Qi looked at Liu Renshi and Qu Tuquan, saying, "What are you two standing there for? If the two of you continue to stand there, I'm afraid there will be nothing left."
Hearing this, the two of them took action.
He also joined in.
Fortunately, Liu Jian had brought a pot of meat porridge over. In addition, he had been busy the whole morning experimenting with dishes, so there was enough food. Even so, the pot of meat porridge did not last for long. Soon, it was empty. The other dishes were all eaten clean.
Du Qi did not find this strange.
After all, no one could resist the taste of this dish.
When Liu Jian saw this, his heart was filled with deep satisfaction. Now, not only was he Du Qi's follower, but he was also Du Qi's chef. As a chef, the most satisfying part was that the dishes he cooked were recognized. Liu Jian was very satisfied with just the dishes he had prepared to let Cheng Chumo and the others eat happily.
After a long while, Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai, and the others all finished eating. They were half lying down with a satisfied look on their faces.
They all felt good.
Cheng Chumo said with emotion, "Comfortable, really comfortable! These are just a few dishes. You know, there were twelve dishes last night. If it was last night's dishes, I'm afraid I would have swallowed my tongue. Erlang, how did you come up with so many dishes? What's wrong with your little brain? "
Fang Yiai said, "I also heard from Father about what happened last night. Banquets are usually dominated by wine. But this time, no one even drank wine. They all went to eat. It can be seen that these twelve dishes are delicious. Sigh, if we could eat last night's dishes, it would be worth it even if we died. "
When the others heard this, they all spoke up.
None of the people present were older than 20 years old. Therefore, there was no barrier between them.
They also spoke quite casually.
Du Qi listened to everyone's flattery and just responded casually. He did not take the initiative to mention the restaurant.
At this time, Fang Yiai took the lead and said, "Erlang, I don't know how to talk, so I won't beat around the bush. I'm here this time for the restaurant. I've discussed it with my family. We hope to take twenty percent of the shares. We'll pay ten thousand strings of cash. "
The Fang family was not a small family. It was a big family.
They were not short of money.
Moreover, everyone knew that the restaurant today was bound to make money. So Fang Yiai and Cheng Chumo both took out ten thousand strings of cash, hoping to take twenty percent of the shares.
When Fang Yiai said this, Qu Tuquan, who was at the side, immediately widened his eyes and said with an incredulous expression, "Erlang Fang, the dishes in this restaurant are delicious. But ten thousand strings of cash for twenty percent of the shares is probably too much. When I asked you before, you said it was not much. Ten thousand strings of cash is not a small amount. "
Fang Yiai immediately laughed and said, "Qu Tuquan, ten thousand strings of cash is indeed not much. If you can take twenty percent of the shares with ten thousand strings of cash, you'll be very lucky. My mother said that the possibility of taking twenty percent of the shares is not big. But it depends on what Erlang says. The restaurant's matters are decided by Erlang. If he says I can take whatever shares I want, I can take whatever shares I want. "
Qu Tuquan's cheeks twitched and he clenched his fists. He swallowed his saliva and frowned for a moment.
Liu Renshi was also surprised, but he did not say anything.
He waited for Du Qi to take a look.
He wanted to see what Du Qi would say.
Du Qi swept a glance over Qu Tuquan and Liu Renshi, then his gaze returned to Fang Yiai. With a stern countenance he said, "Fang Xiong, Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Chumo both have ten percent of shares of one thousand strings of cash each. I don't need you to pay so much money. You too, one thousand strings of cash for ten percent of the shares. I don't need the extra money. "
Fang Yiai smiled and said, "No problem. If Erlang says so, then so be it. I don't understand these things. If you say ten percent, then so be it. In short, I know that following Erlang won't be a loss. "
Du Qi looked at Qu Tuquan and Liu Renshi again, saying, "The two of you are the same. If you want to invest in the restaurant, each take out one thousand strings of cash for ten percent of the shares. "
Liu Renshi said, "No problem!"
Liu Renshi clearly remembered his father's arrangements. No matter how much money it was, as long as he could take a share, it was fine.
Qu Tuquan frowned and said, "Erlang, I won't participate. One thousand strings of cash for ten percent of the shares, we won't participate. If it's within one hundred strings of cash, I can participate. I am indebted to Erlang's hospitality for the dishes just now. This one can't thank you enough. This one still has important matters to attend to, so I won't stay. Farewell! "
Du Qi said indifferently, "Take care. I won't see you out!"
Du Qi didn't take Qu Tuquan's withdrawal to heart. Especially with Qu Tuquan's withdrawal, he might even be punished by Qu Tutong when he returned.
Qu Tuquan turned and left.
After Qu Tuquan left, Cheng Chumo leaned forward slightly with an expectant look, saying, "Erlang, this Qu Tuquan's brain isn't very bright. He doesn't want to take a share. Why don't you give me the share that was allocated to him? "
Du Qi said, "You're dreaming."
Cheng Chumo smiled embarrassedly and said, "Erlang, now that Qu Tuquan has left, there are only four of us left. Do you think we'll let anyone else take a share in the restaurant? "
Du Qi pondered for a while and said, "For the time being, there shouldn't be anyone else. Let's do this for the restaurant for the time being. Next, we'll choose a location and train the chefs. "
Cheng Chumo said happily, "Erlang, you can arrange this. In any case, I'll earn money if I follow you. When the time comes, I'll just have to wait for my share. "
Fang Yiai said, "Brother Cheng is right."
Liu Renshi and Yuchi Baolin also nodded. To the two of them, they only needed to fork out the money. As for how to split the money later, they would have to wait until the restaurant started operating.
