Nan Nan stood on a high place and took in the expressions of the people below. Some were surprised, some didn't care, and some were nervous. It was really interesting to see that there were not many people in such a small shop.
He walked down and looked at everyone: "Hello, my surname is Mu, and I am your new boss."
When everyone heard Nan Nan speaking, they all focused their attention on him. Some people who looked down on Nan Nan thought that Nan Nan's family had some money and asked him to play with it. After all, he was just a child, so who would take it seriously
"Hello, new boss."
Out of courtesy, everyone nodded and saluted. Nan Nan nodded and said, "You all know that the employer has changed. My requirements here are different from those of your previous employer, so not all of you can stay."
"Actually, what I mean is that none of you will stay, but since your old employer has asked, I can't help but give him face. But whether you can stay or not depends on you."
"My requirement is that you must be able to read. I don't want people who can't read. For others, you can try them out for a month. Those who pass can stay. Those who stay will be paid two taels of silver per month. The chef and others will be paid separately, but it has to be quite high."
When they heard about two taels of silver, everyone was stunned. Their monthly salary was only about five hundred coins. No one wanted to leave now. This person was a spendthrift.
If you go out and ask around, no one will give a waiter in a restaurant two taels of silver a month. Fortunately, they can all read, so at least they can pass the first hurdle.
Nan Nan looked at the commotion below and raised his hand: "Okay, stop arguing. My restaurant will be closed starting today for renovation. During the renovation period, you will go to work as usual every day and come to study."
When they heard about coming to study, the waiters were all confused. This young master was really incomprehensible. Nan Nan looked at the lack of reaction and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Of course, if you don't want to stay, just say so now. The same goes for those who don't want to study."
As soon as they heard about the two taels of silver, they didn't want to study. That was impossible. Even if it was for the money, they had to study hard, right? Although everyone was grumbling in their hearts, they still cooperated on the surface.
Nan Nan brought a servant with him. The servant was holding a notebook and recording the names and positions of these people. It would be used for future training. After everyone finished registering, Nan Nan spoke: "Tomorrow you will all come directly to the back yard for class. The teacher will be Aunt Qinglian next to me."
Qinglian did not expect that the prince would ask her to teach these people, but since the prince had spoken, it must be that she could do it, so Qinglian just nodded and didn't say anything else.
After talking to everyone here, Nan Nan waited for Shopkeeper Qi to move out before locking the yard and looking at Qing Lian: "Aunt Qing Lian, I'm going to open a herbal medicine shop, and we'll sell herbal medicine, so in this month, you have to teach them the basics of pharmacology, okay?"
Qinglian's medical skills are still very good, and he learned it from Qian Jiujiu. Now when he heard Nan Nan's request, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Nan Nan was satisfied then. At least the people around him were trustworthy. If he wanted to open a store, he would need a shopkeeper, and he still had to go find one. Suddenly he felt so tired.
Forget it, just take it step by step, he has plenty of time anyway. After returning home, Nan Nan went into the study and started drawing pictures. Nan Nanbei and Bei Bei all learned the essence of Qian Jiujiu's simple drawings.
I also learned some design things from Xiaoman. These two children have learned a lot of miscellaneous things, so what Nan Nan has to do now is to design the decoration inside the restaurant and then find a decoration team.
Beibei came to look for Nannan, only to find that Nannan was very busy, so he did not bother her and went to play somewhere else. When they first arrived in a new place, Beibei accompanied the Queen Mother and went out to look for delicious food.
Qian Jiujiu accompanied Mu Yexiao to walk around the entire Xianyou Town to see if there was anything wrong and where it was easier to grow what. They each had their own busy things to do.
Nan Nan spent a day sorting out the places that needed renovation, and found Chuan Wu, the servant beside him: "Chuan Wu, come on, accompany me to find the decoration team here."
Chuanwu said "oh" and followed Nannan out. Qinglian went to the courtyard of the restaurant since yesterday and taught the waiters and chefs basic pharmacology.
The two of them were walking on the street, and the elegant young man was very attractive. Chuanwu frowned and said, "Master, where can we find the decoration team?"
Nan Nan had a good idea: "Of course I should go to the dental clinic and ask for an introduction."
The purchase of the yard by him was also assisted by the people from the dental clinic, so in Nan Nan's opinion, the people from the dental clinic are still very reliable.
The people in the pawnbroker business were well-informed. They knew that Nan Nan was the son of the new county magistrate, so naturally they did not dare to cheat him.
Seeing Nan Nan coming, the boss of the dental shop immediately greeted him with a smile: "Isn't this Mr. Mu? Why are you here again?"
Nan Nan's lips curled up slightly. "I'm a person who never comes to see you for no reason. I came to you because I have something to ask for. You know, I bought the restaurant and want to renovate it myself. I'd like to trouble you to hire a reliable renovation team for me."
The boss of the dental shop was stunned. To be honest, he had never seen a young man from an official family who was more amiable than Nan Nan. "Mr. Mu, you are joking. Since you have a request, we can certainly do it. Speaking of the decoration team, there is indeed one."
"It is said that relatives should not avoid suspicion. This decoration team is led by my cousin. They are very powerful! If you have time, Mr. Mu, how about I take you there now?"
Nan Nan naturally had plenty of time, so she nodded and said, "Then let's go now."
The boss of the dental shop was named Rong, and everyone called him Boss Rong. Boss Rong took Nan Nan and walked towards the main street of Xianyou Town, introducing him as he walked: "My cousin's surname is Tong, and everyone calls him Boss Tong, but he was born to do this job!"
"By the way, my cousin's shop also sells furniture. These furniture are very beautifully made. If you like them, Mr. Mu, you can take a look and buy some."
Hearing Boss Rong speak so highly of the people in the decoration team, Nan Nan was somewhat satisfied. At least this showed that this person was capable.
As he said this, he had already arrived at Boss Tong's shop. It seemed that Boss Tong was doing quite well. This was a three-story building, and it was quite good to have such a store.
As soon as he walked in, Boss Rong shouted to the waiter, "Go and call your boss out. There are guests coming."
It was obvious that the waiter also knew Boss Rong. He immediately turned around and called Tong Ruyu out. Tong Ruyu looked at Boss Rong with some surprise: "Cousin, why are you here in person? Who is this?"
You know, Boss Rong hasn't entertained guests in person in recent years, and has let other people do the work. Either the young master in front of him has a special identity, or this order can make a lot of money.
Boss Rong said with a smile: "Come here, cousin, let me introduce you. This is Master Mu, a big guest! He wants you to help decorate his restaurant."
Oh? He was well-informed about the renovation and new construction of houses in the entire Xianyou Town. He also knew that there was only one restaurant for sale in the entire Xianyou Town, and it seemed that it was bought by this young master.
"Oh, then I wonder what kind of changes Master Mu wants to make? The previous restaurant renovation was also done by our family, and the drawings are still there!"
Nan Nan nodded with satisfaction when she heard this: "It would be better if we had drawings to compare with. I also took a look at the decoration of that restaurant before, and I am actually satisfied with it. It turned out that you guys installed it, so you can also install what I want."
Nan Nan took out his own blueprint and said, "This is the blueprint I drew. Take a look at the changes I made. How long will it take to complete? I want the effect to be exactly the same. Can you do it?"
Looking at the blueprint in front of her, Tong Ruyu's eyes widened a little: "Excuse me, who drew this? Can I see it? This design is really suitable for Xianyou Town, full of fairy feeling."
Nan Nan was a little embarrassed by the compliment: "This is my painting. If you have any questions, we can communicate. Can you take it? If you can, I still have some requirements for the materials."
This was the first thing he did by himself, so he had to be particularly careful. And Tong Ruyu would not underestimate Nan Nan at this time. Although he was young, he had real ability.
Looking at Nan Nan, "Okay, don't worry. I will definitely make you an identical effect. The name is Xian Shan Fang, which is a good name. These words are really well written."
It was rare to meet such a talented person, Tong Ruyu wanted to talk more with Nan Nan. After some communication, Nan Nan admired Tong Ruyu very much: "Okay, let's sign the contract, and the restaurant will be handed over to you for renovation. I can pay you the deposit."
Things were settled smoothly. After that, Nan Nan spent every day in the restaurant, and his relationship with Tong Ruyu became better and better.
At the same time, the construction masters also arrived here and began to survey the site and prepare to build a villa. This matter was also a hot topic, and several local construction teams had to be found.
Tong Ruyu also has a construction team under her command. When she heard the news, she wanted to fight for it. Everyone only knew that this villa was built by a noble person, but no one knew who it was!
So Tong Ruyu was still a little confused about how to fight for it, but if he failed to get it, his prestige in the local area would definitely be lost.
