Chapter 1601 Fame is like a chicken rib
Xu Qizhen's steps are light.
She was unhappy yesterday because she had a feeling that life would change a lot.
Until now, she was sure that whether it was herself or Yan Ziqing, whether it was children or father-in-law, they all hoped to maintain the stability of this marriage.
This made Xu Qizhen happy.
Xu Qizhen and Yan Ziqing's marriage is not based on feelings, so there is no betrayal if anything happens. Even so, she still hopes to maintain the status quo.
The current situation is not sweet and warm for Xu Qizhen, but it is not confused.
Since breaking up with Gu Shao, she has been very confused. Her second brother was killed aggravated this feeling. Then she had a miscarriage, which pushed all this to the top and she committed suicide.
After being rescued, Yan Ziqing told her: "If you want to breathe a sigh of relief, getting married may not be bad. As a daughter, you must always be obedient; but as the young grandmother of the Yan family, you are the mistress who is the master of the family, and no one will point fingers at your life again."
This sentence touched her.
She was forced to get angry by her family, and all her confusion also stems from her inability to make decisions, and there is always someone who can control her life.
She only asked Yan Ziqing at that time: "But, I have no feelings for you, don't you mind?"
"So what, I don't have any to you either. I saw you, just want to show my love. How luxurious is love? I don't even have it myself, how could I beg you?" Yan Ziqing answered at the time.
So Xu Qizhen nodded.
She grabbed the life-saving straw of marriage in the surviving life of the disaster. Now that she has not built a big ship, how can she let it go?
She would never allow Yamamoto Shizuki to occupy the magpie's nest.
Xu Qizhen came out of her home and did not go to her shop, but went to the bustling streets.
She took a fancy to a storefront. She used to be a restaurant and also had Chinese food, but the business was average, but the rent was too expensive and the merchant could not maintain it.
Xu Qizhen didn't want to open such a lively place at first because she was not sure about opening a restaurant and she was not very clear about it.
Now she is clear.
She can deal with complicated business and choose a balance between her own life and business.
She wanted to buy the store.
She made an appointment with the owner of the shop, but the one who wanted to receive her was a young man.
This man is about twenty-three or four years old, younger than Xu Qizhen, very white and beautiful, wearing glasses, elegant temperament but not weak, and dressed neatly and simplely, and was light gray.
When Xu Qizhen saw him, she had some feelings for him because her second brother usually dressed like this, and even looked similar.
"Hello, Mrs. Yan." The other party shook hands with her. "It was originally my manager who made an appointment with you, and this business was handed over to me. I was in charge of the business for the first time, so you include. The surname Chen and Chen Shengji."
List?
Xu Qizhen paused and asked, "The president of the Catering Chamber of Commerce is also surnamed Chen. Although Chen is a big surname, it is..."
"Ms. Yan is very keen. President Chen is his father. This is the Chen family's business. Since you have done business, you must also explain it clearly to you. Doing business in the Chen family's shop should be genuine." Chen Shengji smiled.
Xu Qizhen said: "This is natural."
She re-looked the store and found that it could be about 14 or 5 tables, which were very spacious, with a large kitchen, a large cargo room, and a small attic.
The rent is very expensive, but Xu Qizhen's dowry is generous. Not to mention renting it, she can afford this shop even if she buys it.
"Do you have any requirements for tenants?" Xu Qizhen asked.
The shop with such a geographical location was shelved for almost a month. After Xu Qizhen asked, she found that the rent was very reasonable. The only reason was that the owner was unwilling to rent it out.
"My father is the president of the Catering Chamber of Commerce. The catering shops on this street are all members of the Chamber of Commerce. In the long run, there are too many Western restaurants here, and there are also Chinese restaurants. Now there are a few high-end Chinese restaurants missing." Chen Shengji said.
Xu Qizhen understood.
President Chen wanted to build this restaurant into an expensive Chinese restaurant, not just ordinary. The dishes should be exquisite and the prices should be very high.
Therefore, tenants need to spend a lot of money on decoration, and chefs also need to invite famous ones.
This is not something that can be opened casually.
"...It takes three years of contract to be signed, and the decoration price is standard." Chen Shengji smiled, "The chef's words must be well-known in the industry."
Xu Qizhen frowned without any trace.
"There is no problem with rent and decoration, but it is hard to say that the chefs are. There are people in this world who don't seek to be famous, but they are very attentive in cooking. Do you have to be picky?" Xu Qizhen asked.
Chen Shengji saw that she was unhappy and hurriedly added: "My grandfather and parents are experts in food appreciation. If your chef is willing to cook a dish, it's okay to pass the appreciation."
Xu Qizhen said: "I don't have a chef, I cook for the restaurant myself."
Chen Shengji seemed not surprised: "Does Jingsu cuisine mean Jinling cuisine? Jinling duck cuisine is famous all over the world, what would you do?"
"I can do anything, but my roast duck is a little better." Xu Qizhen said.
"Then you..."
"I don't mind being tasted," said Xu Qizhen. "It's just that I have to choose the ducks that I make roast ducks myself. Weather and thin are very particular."
"Okay, I'm going back and telling my grandfather too. What do you think tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning?" Chen Shengji asked.
Xu Qizhen nodded.
When she went out, she looked at the store again and felt that it was in a good location. If it was well decorated, it would become a specialty restaurant.
She has the ambition to run it well.
When he got home, Yan Ziqing had already returned, in his own master bedroom.
Xu Qizhen went to find him.
"...Isn't it too tired?" Yan Ziqing happened to flip through some accounts, and was overwhelmed. Hearing the words, he raised his eyes and looked at her, "Don't you want to build a simple small restaurant?"
"I was not sure, so I said I would start with simple things. After all, I have never done it before, and I can't hide my face." Xu Qizhen said.
She is the lady of the Xu family, a real famous Shuyuan, and it is not nice to say when she is a chef.
The name "Shuyuan, a famous family", is a pity to abandon it because of the tasteless taste, so Xu Qizhen was unable to make up his mind.
Now, she made plans - she is no longer the fourth lady of the Xu family, but the third young lady of the Yan family, the arms dealer, and her in-laws have no status or reputation.
Those ridiculous constraints can be left behind.
"Now you've given up your face?" Yan Ziqing smiled.
Xu Qizhen said: "Well. Moreover, after becoming a chef, I realized that every chef needs to be recognized. If a dish comes out of the stove, it is very different if it cannot be praised or even sought after. I need customers."
Yan Zifei nodded.
"I said that you are free and can do whatever you want. Even if I don't agree, I will not stop you. Besides, I agree with this matter very much." Yan Ziqing said.
Xu Qizhen smiled with a touch of the corner of her lips.
She looked at Yan Ziqing: "What are you looking for?"
