My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

120 Chapter 120 Restaurant

“You’re the owner here, so you must be more familiar with the menu than us. I think you should order,” said Zhou Ying.

“That’s true.” Young Master Zhou nodded his head and looked at the waiter. “Steamed yellow croaker, sea cucumber with scallion, four happiness meatballs, chrysanthemum tofu, stir-fried black fungus, sweet and sour radish shreds, and finally, a serving of duck soup.”

“What kind of wine would you like to drink, Brother Gu?” he asked.

“You can’t drink now.” Gu Chengrui replied seriously.

!!

Young Master Zhou’s expression immediately changed. He had forgotten that Gu Chengrui was a doctor. If he had remembered, he would not have asked. Now, he could not even drink a sip even if he wanted to. He finally waved his hand at the waiter.

“Please wait a moment.” The waiter politely told them and filled the teapot with hot water before leaving.

Young Master Zhou then said, “I’d like to apologize to you first. My identity was a little sensitive before, so I didn’t dare tell you the truth.

I’m General Zhou’s second son, Zhou Huaiming. I am here to transport grains this time, but I didn’t expect to be backstabbed by the people around me.”

“Are those grains really military rations?”

“Yes, otherwise, that group of people wouldn’t have been convicted so quickly.” Zhou Huaiming looked at Gu Chengrui in surprise and asked, “How did you know that’s military rations?”

“Just an afterthought. After all, ordinary merchants would not transport so much dry grain.”

“That’s true. By the way, do you guys fancy the Qiao family’s Dongxing Restaurant? How about giving it to you two to run it?”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll steal Hongyun Restaurant’s business?” Zhou Ying asked after a moment of surprise.

“Having a competitor is good for improvement and innovation.

“Besides, this town is so prosperous; it’s impossible for just us to monopolize the restaurant business.

“It’s better to give it to sister-in-law. I think it’s not a problem with your skills if you want to occupy half the customer base here.”

“Then we’ll accept your offer. By the way, how much does this restaurant cost?”

“No, no, I said I’d give it to you, so I’m going to give it to you.” After Young Master Zhou finished speaking, he took a contract and a key from his sleeve and handed them to her.

“I know a little about the Gu family’s situation, so it’s better to put it under sister-in-law’s name,” he explained.

When Gu Chengrui heard him mention the Gu family, he immediately remembered that his father had asked them for the recipe for bean sprouts. He nodded in agreement and said, “Thank you, Brother Zhou. Why don’t you change the way you announce it? You could say that you liked Ying’s cooking so much that you asked her to be the manager. How about it? ”

Young Master Zhou jokingly said, “Then I can’t bear this name for nothing. In the future, I hope I can eat for free in your restaurant.”

“Of course. Even if there were no such thing, we wouldn’t take your money anyway.”

“Then it’s settled.”

Suddenly, Zhou Ying thought of the Qiao family and the county governor, who had their houses confiscated. She looked at Young Master Zhou and asked, “Brother Zhou, are you going to sell all the manors and shops you have seized?”

“Yes, is there anything you want?”

“Since we plan to open a restaurant, we must have something to sell. I’m thinking of buying a small manor to grow some vegetables, raise some cattle and sheep, or something else to supply the restaurant.”

“I’ll go back and look into this matter, checking which manor is suitable.” Young Master Zhou nodded.

“Then I’ll have to thank Brother Zhou in advance. A manor worth less than two thousand taels of silver will do.”

“Alright, I’ll remember this.” Young Master Zhou affirmed.

Soon, the food was served. Zhou Ying tasted each dish carefully and found they were all well-made, except for the fatty oil inside the red braised pork. She only ate one piece and couldn’t eat anymore.

However, she didn’t have the heart to pick on it, so she thought of taking another time to mention it to Manager Liu.
