"My mother's craftsmanship is even better."

Mingxiu smiled. Ming's mother liked to cook. She used to study cooking skills when she had free time at home. But because the conditions at home were not good at the beginning, no matter how she studied, the taste of the food was just like that. Now that the conditions are better, and

With the help of Mingxiu's recipes, Ming's mother's cooking skills skyrocketed.

So much so that it now has a certain reputation in the town. Now Ming Ming remembers that although the dishes are fresh, most of the customers come here for Ming's mother's craftsmanship.

Mingxiu has not provided new recipes for a long time, just because she wants Mingmu to thoroughly eat the original dishes first.

Now, as expected, the dishes made by Mingmu's mother after careful consideration are becoming more and more delicious.

Even Xie Zhan, who had tasted countless delicacies from mountains and seas, couldn't help but say hello.

Although she knew she had made some progress, Ming's mother was still a little embarrassed to be praised by Mingxiu like this, "Your little mouth is getting sweeter."

Looking through the accounts recorded by Mingxiu at the beginning, except for the change in order, the rest were almost the same as what she recorded. In addition, the font was really hard on the eyes, so Mingmu jumped directly to the last page.

This month’s net income excluding expenses was as much as seventy taels!

A store that can make a net profit of seventy taels a month!

This is rare in the town. Even a large restaurant like Xianxiang Restaurant can earn almost this amount in a month. However, they are obviously different from Mingji. Xianxiang Restaurant also has a chef and a waiter.

Labor costs follow, but their family is staffed by their own people. There is no such thing as wages, so the income after calculation is actually higher than that of Xianxiang House!

But it’s no wonder that Xianxiang Restaurant may not be full even during meal time. However, it is clear that the seats are already full about half an hour before meal time, and sometimes you even have to wait for a seat.

After calculating the net income, Mingxiu made a mental calculation.

"Mom, when the lease here expires, let's discuss with the owner of the shop to see if we can buy the shop."

She didn't just think about this, she even wanted to expand the place. However, Ming's mother was usually the only one busy in the kitchen. If the stall was too big, Ming's mother might not be able to handle it, so she didn't say anything yet.

We'll see later, if we can train a few cooks, it won't be too late to expand the shop.

"Okay, let your dad tell you then."

After such a long period of experience, Ming's father is no longer the honest farm boy who stumbled over his words. He has grown into a somewhat shrewd man. If he hadn't met an old man like Mr. Xu of Xianxianglou, he would hardly have many people.

It is rare for an individual to live with him.

Now that he is left to take care of these things, Mingxiu is already very relieved.

"good."

Ming's father didn't have any objections to this. At first, he didn't support buying the shop directly. Firstly, he didn't have so much money, and secondly, he was worried that the shop would lose money and he wouldn't even be able to recover the capital. But now it seems that,

What I was worried about at the beginning was not a problem, so there was no big deal in buying it. I thought it would not take long to earn back the money from the store, and there would be no need to pay rent in the future.

After making the decision, he rested for a night. The next day, Ming's father thought about this matter and planned to go to his employer to have a good talk. He left the matter of buying the bullock cart to Ye Ziming.

Ming's father had tested him. Things like looking after livestock would not trouble Ye Ziming. Let alone ox carts, he was also a good hand at choosing horses.

I went out in the morning and my father didn't come back until after noon tomorrow.

If it weren't for Mingxiu's comfort, Ming's mother would have even wanted to find him.

"How's it going? Does the owner agree to sell the shop?"

Originally I thought this matter was a sure thing, but seeing Ming's father's face looking a little bad, Ming's mother couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart.

Ming's father shook his head, "My boss didn't agree, and..."

"What's more!" Ming's mother said anxiously, "Why are you becoming more vague as you get older? Don't be hesitant when speaking. It's so annoying."

Can't you finish it in one breath?

This shop is not for sale. Mingxiu feels a little regretful. At the same time, he doesn’t think it’s anything special. If it’s not for sale here, is there no shop for sale in the town? He will look for it slowly first, and then decorate it after he finds it.

The lease here is about to expire.

Ming's father sighed, "Not only will it not be sold, the owner will also raise the rent."

"Is it going to go up this year?" Mingxiu couldn't believe it.

Seeing him nodding, Ming Xiu slapped the table, "But our rent for this year has already been paid! Isn't this a lie?!"

"The owner said that the rent we paid was enough until May, and the rest must be made up, otherwise..."

Before Ming's father could finish his words, Mingxiu was already furious, "This is cheating! I'm going to argue with them!"

"Xiu'er!" Ming's father looked at his daughter disapprovingly, "What's the point of going there? This store belongs to others, and they are free to set whatever rent they want. Can you still control it?"

If you make the other party angry and drive them out directly, what should you do?

Mingji has finally got on the right track. If he had to go back to his original shape and start over, would he be able to achieve the grand occasion today?

Ming's father is a little confused about how to go in the future.

He had heard many stories of failure again and again, and failure again and again.

As everyone knows, even if this shop closes down, as long as Ming's mother is still there, their family can still open the shop!

"What the foster father said was wrong." Ye Ziming and Xie Zhan heard the commotion on the other side and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them to make peace. "It's true that the store belongs to them, and it's true that they are free to pay how much they want to rent. But,

The contract has been signed, so at least within the date of the contract, they cannot change the rent without authorization, otherwise we can go to the Yamen to sue, and the contract is evidence!"

Although the punishment for violating the lease was not severe in this court, there was still monetary compensation, and the shop had to be used by them until the lease expired. Ming's father did not need to worry at all.

His worries just now stemmed from his ignorance of the law.

After Zi Ming's explanation, he finally felt relieved.

"Is this true?"

"How could a son deceive his adoptive father?" Ye Ziming chuckled helplessly, "It's just that we have to go and make it clear to the owner in advance. If he insists on raising the rent, we will go to the Yamen first to strike first and let things go.

If it becomes a foregone conclusion, then we can find a way out so that we won't be forced into a panic by them."

There is one thing that Ming's father said is true, that is, the day their store closes, it will lose money, and it may even affect its reputation. This is not what they want.

"I know, let me think about it first."

"Father, please hurry up. Today they proposed to increase the rent. It won't be long before they come to ask for the rest of this year's rent. If we hand over the money under force, then we will be justified.
