Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper

I found out that the owner of Xianmanju is Wei Cheng.

The Wei family went straight to Xianmanju at noon the next day.

At this time, Xianmanju is overcrowded, and there are still customers waiting in line at the gate.

When the Wei family came, they skipped the queue and wanted to eat at Xianmanju.

"Let's eat, Xiaoer, lead the way."

The shop waiter who greeted the guests at the door immediately stopped the Wei family. "Sorry, everyone, the store is full, please queue up if you want to eat."

"What do you mean, we are Wei Cheng's parents, and we still have to queue up."

Wei's mother would say that, but she didn't arrogantly yell that the boss of Xianmanju is her son. Be more cautious, inquiring about the news will also be wrong.

How could the waiter in the shop not know that the owner's name was Wei Cheng, and when he heard that it was the owner's family, how could he dare to stop him, and even more warmly received him.

The whole Wei family came, including Wei Dabao.

When queuing up outside the door, I saw someone jumping in line and commenting dissatisfiedly. A regular customer explained that the owner of Xianmanju was called Wei Cheng.

Wei's mother asked the waiter in the store, only to know that Wei Cheng was not in the store. They came in and saw Zhou Yuan who was busy at the counter, so they went straight to the counter.

When Xiao Liu was not helping to settle accounts at the counter, she was helping in the lobby. She saw a few people with menacing expressions, looking like they were looking for trouble, and walked over immediately. There is something to protect the lord.

When Zhou Yuan saw the Wei family, he immediately put down the pen in his hand, quickly walked out of the counter, and greeted each one.

"Father, mother, elder brother, elder sister-in-law."

Wei's mother said: "The second child, your father and I are coming to eat, hurry up and arrange a seat for us, Dabao is hungry, so don't delay our meal."

Standing next to him, the waiter hurriedly reported: "My lord, the lobby and upstairs are full, and there are no tables available."

"I see, you go to work first."

The waiter returned to his post.

There is also a private room on the second floor, which is specially vacated for the convenience of eating, or there is no private room for VIPs, such as Yun Chengfeng.

Zhou Yuan ordered Xiao Liu to look at the counter, and then said to the Wei family: "Father and mother, please follow me to the second floor."

Xiao Liu waited for the people to leave, so she ordered the waiter to go to the back kitchen and tell Wei Lei about the incident. After Wei Lei heard about it, he called Wei Hu to find Wei Cheng in the suburbs.

The private rooms on the second floor are comfortably decorated, generous and beautiful, no worse than the big restaurants in the inner city.

As soon as the Wei family entered the private room, their eyes lit up, showing a satisfied expression.

The family sat down.

Wei Dabao couldn't sit still, and yelled as soon as he entered the private room, like ADHD, moving here and there, which makes people hate the most.

Zhou Yuan handed the lunch booklet to Wei's mother: "This is the lunch menu, I will arrange the kitchen to make whatever you want to eat, Mom and Dad."

Wei's mother took it and opened it, and Wei Cheng's sister-in-law next to her leaned over to take a look. She saw the exquisite dishes and the prices on the food book, and her eyes widened. The two excitedly discussed what to eat, but they had never seen food before.

Father Wei drank tea and asked, "Where's the second child?"

"My husband went to the suburbs, and I didn't say when I came back." Wei Cheng told Zhou Yuan when he went out in the morning, and Boss Gu introduced customers to buy sauces. Zhou Yuan didn't tell Father Wei.

Mother Wei and the others were still discussing what to order. Zhou Yuan was going to go down to get busy, so he told the Wei family that there was a waiter outside the door, pulling the rope at the corner of the door, and a waiter would come over to help them order.

Mother Wei didn't answer a word, and waved him away.

Zhou Yuan didn't mind leaving the private room.

The Wei family studied and discussed the food booklet.

After some discussion, the Wei family ordered food.

Ordered all the signature dishes, four people and one child ordered a dozen dishes.

Wei's father looked at Wei's mother and said, "Can we finish eating this much?"

Mother Wei laughed and said, "It's rare that you don't need to pay for a meal. If you can't finish eating, you can pack it up and go home. You don't have to buy vegetables for dinner, which can save you a lot of money."

Wei Cheng's sister-in-law reminded: "Mom, if you want to eat, you can come to Xianmanju to eat every day. You are the boss of Xianmanju."

"You're still the eldest daughter-in-law, you can talk." Wei Cheng's sister-in-law's words reached Wei's mother's heart, and a satisfied smile appeared on her wrinkled face.

_

On Weicheng's side, after being informed by Wei Hu, his eyes darkened.

I have finished talking with Boss Gu about buying the sauce, and the other party ordered a few hundred catties to be shipped back to the town for sale, and we will cooperate even if it is not involved.

Wei Cheng will arrange work for the housekeeper, Uncle Mao, who is in charge of supervision, and let him instruct his subordinates to do things.

The Wei family came to Xianmanju, so he went straight back to the county seat.

When Wei Cheng returned to Xianmanju, Wei Lei waited for him in the lobby, told him about the Wei family, and ordered something. Wei Cheng knew it in his heart.

Wei Cheng didn't go directly to the second floor, but went to the counter.

"Yuanyuan, what did my parents say to embarrass you when they came here?"

When Zhou Yuan saw Wei Cheng come back, a smile appeared on his face, and when he heard what his husband said, a smile appeared in his eyes: "How come, father and mother are here, and I will come down after arranging a private room for them." He is very lucky , Marrying Wei Cheng's mother-in-law's family has never cared about him, let alone making things difficult.

Wei Cheng was relieved after hearing this.

After a while, Wei Cheng was still at the counter.

Seeing that the man was stuck in the same place, he had no intention of going up, and he was flipping through the list he had calculated in his hand, Zhou Yuan asked: "Husband, don't you go up to your parents' place?"

"Don't worry, it won't be too late for me to go up after my parents have finished eating." Wei Cheng said to Zhou Yuan without flipping through the list, "My daughter-in-law can become a teacher now, it's not a mistake."

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up, and his eyes narrowed with a smile after being praised by her husband.

He was always worried that he would make a wrong calculation, and he had to do it several times each time.

With the affirmation of my husband, I can rest assured now!

_

The Wei family had finished eating, and Wei Cheng went up only now. Before going up, he said to Zhou Yuan, "Yuan Yuan, I'll come down soon, wait for me to have lunch together."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to eat."

Wei Cheng went to the private room on the second floor and knocked on the door, but the Wei family thought it was the waiter and ignored him. Wei Cheng opened the door and went in, they were complaining why Wei Cheng hadn't come back yet, when they saw Wei Cheng coming in, they were stunned for a moment.

…

"Second is back."

"Second brother is back."

"Second, come back, sit down!"

The Wei family looked kindly, and greeted Wei Cheng with a smile on their faces, as if the whole family was very affectionate. Even Dabao, who had always had a bad mood towards him, now had a smile on his face, "Oh, my second brother is back, I'm such a busy man." Seeing that his son didn't call out when he saw anyone, he hurriedly asked his son to call out, "Dabao, Call me uncle."

Wei Dabao had never called Wei Cheng before, and he was influenced by his family's words since he was a child. He looked down on this poor second uncle, and he was doted on by his family, so he couldn't listen.

Wei Dabao twisted away his mother's hand pulling his clothes, and ate his pastry without responding with half of his eyes, filling his mouth with it.

Wei Cheng shouted: "Father, mother, elder brother, elder sister-in-law."

After shouting and sitting down, he didn't make a sound. The Wei family put on a smile to show their goodwill, but the person involved didn't respond, and the smile froze slightly.

Father Wei spoke first: "Chengzi, why didn't you tell your family that you opened such a large restaurant? We are all a family and can help you." Father Wei had a smile on his face, but he blamed Wei Cheng in his words. mean. After a few words of reproach, he continued to praise, "I came today and saw that Xianmanju's business is so good, I'm happy for you for my father, and I'm glad you have something to do."

Not long after the family split, the Wei family opened another grocery store in the suburbs, but they didn't tell Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng knew about it.

Wei Cheng responded with a smile: "Thank you dad." There was no smile in his eyes.

Wei's father put his palm on his lower face and coughed: "Chengzi, the business in the store is so big, you must not be able to handle it by yourself. I will think about it for you and ask your elder brother to help manage it. You are brothers, and brothers work together. Let’s grow the business together.”

Wei Cheng's smile didn't change: "Xianmanju has enough staff, if the eldest brother is busy with the store at home, he won't bother him."

Wei's mother sighed, and said with a smile: "It's troublesome, we are all a family, and it's better for your elder brother to help than to ask outsiders."

Wei Cheng said, "Brother is the owner of the store after all, how can I let him come to Xianmanju and work for me."

"Second, it's a family. Your elder brother will help manage it, and he is your elder brother. The two brothers will manage Xianmanju together." Wei's mother doesn't like the second son's words, so it's not like she doesn't want to.

Wei Cheng's sister-in-law echoed: "That's right, second brother, what are you talking about? We are all one family."

It's a family now.

"Sorry, there are enough people in the store, so don't bother big brother." Wei Cheng said the same thing.

Wei Cheng has been refusing all the time, how can the Wei family not hear it, the whole family is dissatisfied. Wei's mother wanted to get angry, but Wei's father stopped her with a look.

Father Wei said earnestly: "Chengzi, the family has been ignoring you. We parents can't have both. We will pay more attention to your elder brother. He is the eldest son of the family. Your elder brother still cares about you. He sees that your stall has no business. , came back and said that the family should find a way to help you earn a living. If you sell pastries, the family will find a way to take more orders for you."

"If you think that elder brother is inferior, you should give some of the Xianmanju share to your elder brother. If you work together and do a good job in business, this is what my father wants to see most. Our family also knows a lot of people in the county. After introducing more customers, the business of Xianmanju will be better. Then it will grow bigger and even open to the inner city.”

"Your elder brother is your elder brother, why would you mind?" Wei's father drew a blueprint, "This matter is settled like this, let the boss come over to help tomorrow."

Wei Liang smiled and said, "From now on, I will rely on my second brother."

Wei Cheng: "..."

The whole family is talking to themselves.

"Sorry, I won't invite brother, there are enough people in the store."

The faces of the Wei family were ugly.

Wei's mother got angry: "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about, you have grown wings and refused to recognize your family. Thanks to your elder brother, you are still worried about your life."

Wei Cheng rolled his eyes in his heart, and said empty words, if he really cared about his second son, he wouldn't think it would take advantage of them to live with them in the county after they got married, so he wouldn't have separated his second son early.

Wei Cheng's sister-in-law was very angry: "Mother, the second brother is afraid that he will not have money, so he will look down on our family."

"What nonsense, I know the second child's temperament best, be honest and obedient." Wei's mother gave her daughter-in-law a feigned anger, and said to Wei Cheng with a smile after staring. "Second child, mother knows that you listen to your parents the most."

"Father and mother, feel free to do what you want. I'll treat you today. What else do you need to tell the waiter? I'll go down and get busy." Wei Cheng got up to leave the table.

He didn't pay attention to Wei's mother and his sister-in-law singing together at all.

Wei's father got angry: "Second brother, sit down for me. What is your attitude? You don't pay attention to my father. I just asked you to arrange elder brother into Xianmanju. You don't listen to such trivial matters."

Arrange people into the store, and then, and then... Sooner or later, Xianmanju will be yours.

Wei Cheng was sarcastically in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that father forgot that we separated, and the separation contract is a treaty?"

Father Wei choked, and then said forcefully: "After the separation, aren't you my son, or the Wei family? As long as you are my son for a day, you have to listen to me."

If the second child hadn't been separated completely in the first place, there wouldn't be those treaties, and the Wei family would not regret it. Without those separation treaties, Wei's father and Wei's mother would not have such an attitude, and would have directly expressed their position and directly intervened.

"I didn't say that."

Wei Cheng lowered his eyes, "You are still my family. This is an unchangeable fact."

Father Wei: "Since you are still our family..."

"We separated. At the beginning, the separation contract clearly stated that I would give my parents a tael of silver every month, or I couldn't earn half a penny back then, so my parents proposed it. The contract wrote all the family affairs. , I have no right to intervene." Wei Cheng looked directly at the Wei family, "I am capable of making money now, my son is filial, and in the future I will give my parents monthly support and my son will give five taels of silver. This is my wish for my parents and has nothing to do with the separation contract. "It means, I give you an extra, and it's okay if I don't give you.

Wei Cheng's sister-in-law muttered softly, "It's only five taels of silver."

Wei's mother was dissatisfied and said loudly: "Five taels of silver, you are the owner of a restaurant, so you only give five taels of silver, and fifty taels is decent. Every day, your parents and I come to Xianmanju to eat for free."

Father Wei and Wei Liang didn't speak.

There was no way to enter Xianmanju for a while, Wei's mother said that they had to retreat and ask for it.

This was discussed yesterday.

"Father and elder brother think the same way?" Wei Cheng looked directly at Wei Liang.

Wei Liang pretended to be difficult: "Second brother, I have my parents. As a son, I must obey my parents." In disguise, he accused Wei Cheng of being unfilial.

The Wei family made this request for an extra fifty taels a month, and made up their minds to come to Xianmanju every day for Wei Cheng to take care of. It doesn't matter how much they want, they come to eat every day, even invite relatives, friends, and shop customers to eat, which not only saves face, but also gains so many benefits for nothing.

As for Xianmanju, they can't intervene now, but there will be ways in the future.

Come on, this family won't stop until they eat half of Wei Cheng's meat.

"It's impossible to give fifty taels, only five taels." Wei Cheng didn't show mercy, "I don't need to tell you what your parents and elder brother thought when the family was separated. How the separation contract was written at the beginning, we two How the family lives, each family lives its own, without any involvement.

"If my parents want to say that I am unfilial, they can go to the Yamen to sue me. If my parents sue me, I will come according to the division contract, and half a cent will not be more. Now, giving my parents five taels of silver is still effective, and I will not pay more. One money. If parents like Xianmanju dishes, I will tell you to get a 40% discount when you come to eat."

Wei Cheng's words made the Wei family's face darken.

Wei's father stared at Wei Cheng, with sharp eyes and scrutiny: "Second brother, you have changed."

Wei Cheng looked back directly, and said flatly, "I haven't changed all this time, it's because Dad has never really understood me."

After Wei Cheng finished speaking, he went out directly.

The Wei family's face couldn't be more ugly.

Before leaving, I ordered a lot and took away the unfinished food on the table.

The night before the Wei family—

"Father and mother, the second brother is not stupid. He will agree to our shareholding and give us half of Xianmanlou's profits?"

"Don't worry, parents will listen to what they say. If they don't agree, let the boss go to Xianmanju to manage it first. The second child's personality is not good at managing things. When we intervene in Xianmanju, it's not up to us to decide what to do."

The Wei family is determined to win.

However, when they came back from Xianmanju, they realized that Weicheng seemed to have changed!
