Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 113 Ruhao Tea Restaurant

"I'm talking about your family. Are you the descendants of Nan Batian?"

Brother Niu was so panicked and afraid of death that he stuttered. He slammed the table and accused the Kang family of not calling an ambulance for him and accused everyone of the cruel act of "not helping someone in danger."

"Brother Niu, Brother Niu, don't worry, these fish are not poisonous, they are not pufferfish." Seeing that Brother Niu was really anxious, Kang Qirui told Brother Niu the truth. Brother Niu still didn't believe it, "I don't believe it, you are just comforting me."

Actions speak louder than words. Kang Qirui picked up a piece of fish and put it directly into his mouth. Er Lao and A Yao also picked up a piece of fish and started eating. Brother Niu believed it, "Hey, are you guys teaming up to make fun of me?"

"Brother Niu, we set up this trap not to tease you, but to make you understand that death is really terrible. Puffer fish is really poisonous and can really kill people. If you really eat it, you will really regret it." Kang Qirui said.

Brother Niu nodded and sighed, "Just now when I thought I was really poisoned by eating puffer fish, I was really scared and regretted it so much. So I will listen to you and not eat puffer fish anymore."

"Don't worry, Brother Niu. We in Cantonese don't have much, but we have a lot of delicious food. As long as you stop thinking about eating puffer fish, I promise that you will eat happily every day and never eat the same thing twice." The second brother comforted Brother Niu and promised to continue taking Brother Niu out to eat delicious food in the future. Brother Niu was immediately overjoyed, and his previous unhappiness disappeared at all.

In the next two days, Er Lao continued to go out early with Niu Ge to find food every day, and did not come back until late at night. But on October 22, they came back very early. As soon as they came back, Er Lao excitedly found Kang Qirui, "A Rui, open the door, open the door, I have good news to tell you."

Kang Qirui, who was writing in the room, stood up when he heard the sound and walked to the door of the room to open it. After letting Er Lao and Niu Ge in, he asked, "What good news?"

"Our tea restaurant has been having trouble finding a pastry chef. Today, when I was having dinner with Brother Niu, I talked about this matter. Brother Niu said that he has a fellow villager who can do it and is currently looking for a job. Don't you think this is good news?" Er Lao said excitedly.

Brother Niu's fellow villager? A pastry chef? Kang Qirui looked at Brother Niu with disbelief. Brother Niu understood the suspicious look and said speechlessly, "Hey, who are you looking down on? Where am I from? I'm from southern Henan! My fellow villager grew up kneading noodles. After graduating from junior high school, he worked in a bakery for five or six years. He also worked in Hong Kong two years ago when Hong Kong returned to China. However, he didn't have a Hong Kong residence permit, so he had to come back. Today, when I heard the two brothers talking about your plan to open a tea restaurant, I suddenly thought of him."

So that's how it is. If that's the case, then it's indeed okay. "Thank you, Brother Niu. When can we meet this master?" Kang Qirui asked.

"Oh, you're so polite." Brother Niu waved his hand and said, "He just resigned and is now in his hometown. How about I call him and ask him to come over by train tomorrow?"

"Sure, of course. Brother Niu, you love to eat so much, if you say he can do it, he will definitely do it." Kang Qirui responded with a smile. Now the preparations for the restaurant have been almost completed, the store is being renovated, and Big Brother Guang is practicing various milk teas with recipes every day. It's time to confront Sister Jiao, but before telling Sister Jiao, they have to find a new nanny.

"Er Lao, forget it, it's okay." Kang Qirui originally wanted Er Lao to find a nanny, but thinking about the crazy nanny Er Lao had found before, forget it and let Xiang Lan find one. "Ah? Really okay?" Er Lao was confused, Kang Qirui waved his hand and asked them to leave.

After Xianglan came back in the evening, Kang Qirui found Xianglan and told her to go to the job market and the Women's Federation tomorrow to find a new nanny to replace Sister Jiao. Kang Qirui was still relieved that Xianglan could do the job. After telling Xianglan, Kang Qirui went to the kitchen. Sister Jiao was cooking. Kang Qirui took the kitchen knife first, and then said, "Sister Jiao, tomorrow my sister-in-law will hire a new nanny. You can take care of her and tell her what work we have at home."

"Ah? Fifth Master, you don't want me to work here anymore?" Sister Jiao came up excitedly with a spatula. Fortunately, Kang Qirui hid Sister Jiao's knife first, otherwise he would be dead. "I found a new job for you, and the salary is more than twice as much as here." Kang Qirui signaled Sister Jiao not to be so excited.

But Sister Jiao was even more excited when she heard about the double salary. "What kind of job? Let me make it clear first, I sell my art but not my body." Kang Qirui started coughing all of a sudden, he was choked by Sister Jiao's confidence. "Have you heard that our sister-in-law is going to open a tea restaurant? It's being renovated and we're planning to hire you as the chef. I'll pay you 3,500 a month. What do you think? If you're willing, the new nanny will come tomorrow and you can take care of her for a few days and then go to work at the tea restaurant."

"I am willing, Fifth Master, you are such a good person, don't worry, I will do my best." Sister Jiao is under a lot of pressure. One person earns money and six people spend it. She used to be a nanny in the Kang family for only 10 yuan, but now it has suddenly increased to 23 yuan. Naturally, she is grateful. At this moment, she should be willing to sell herself to Kang Qirui. Of course, Kang Qirui is unwilling. On the afternoon of October , Kang Qirui met Chang Axin, the pastry chef from his hometown mentioned by Brother Niu. As soon as he arrived, he kneaded dough and made dim sum buns in the living room of the Kang family. He showed them all kinds of barbecued pork buns, French toast, steamed dumplings, Chinese and Western styles. Everyone in the Kang family said that they were delicious after eating them. It was much better than the breakfast shop at the corner of the street where they often bought breakfast. Kang Qirui decided to invite Chang Axin to be the pastry chef of the tea restaurant.

"Axin, go with my boss these few days to buy various equipment, and then go to the talent market to find two apprentices. From now on, the three of you will be responsible for the pastries in the tea restaurant. The apprentices' salary is 800 yuan, and your salary is 3,000 yuan. Food and accommodation are provided. Do you think it's a problem?" Kang Qirui and Axin talked about the salary and recent work arrangements.

"No problem. I'll go back first then." A Xin was naturally satisfied with the conditions. What Kang Qirui offered was relatively generous in the market. The boss just took him to the dormitory.

The store was being renovated, and the kitchen technicians were hired. Everything was ready, except for the east wind. Kang Qirui called all the shareholders of the tea restaurant to his room for a meeting. "First of all, welcome our new shareholder, Brother Niu." Kang Qirui introduced him seriously. In order to thank Brother Niu for helping to find a noodle chef, Kang Qirui talked to him about whether he wanted to invest in the company. Brother Niu naturally agreed, and he took out 5 yuan to invest, accounting for % of the shares.

"The main reason I asked everyone to come here today is that we haven't chosen a name for our tea restaurant yet, so I wanted to ask everyone for any good suggestions," said Kang Qirui.

The second sister-in-law nodded and said, "As the saying goes, people are not afraid of being born with the wrong fate, but they are afraid of changing the wrong name. We must think of a better name." Then she stood up and walked two steps. Suddenly, she clapped her hands and said, "How about Xiguan Hotel?"

"Sister-in-law, this hotel is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Brother Niu laughed non-stop. It's just a tea restaurant. "That's right, sister-in-law. Our tea restaurant only has about ten tables. If you call it a big hotel, others will probably laugh their heads off." Xianglan agreed with Brother Niu's idea.

"Why not call it Zhuanyu Restaurant?" A Yao said meaningfully. Although he did not invest in the tea restaurant directly, KS Investment Company was the major shareholder of the tea restaurant, and A Yao came to the meeting as the full representative of Hu Xingzi, the general manager of KS Investment.

The second brother said speechlessly: "Zhuan jade? What kind of jade are you talking about?" He didn't understand at all.

"Zhuanyu means beautiful jade, which means the food here is very exquisite." A Yao explained. "Third brother, I'm afraid most people won't be able to read your name." Kang Qirui thought the name was too difficult to pronounce, and many people probably didn't know how to pronounce the word "Zhuan".

"Actually, you don't have to think about it, just call it Hello Tea Restaurant." Tianxiu, who was a smart kid, said. Tianxiu was not a representative of anyone, he just saw a group of people crowding into Kang Qirui's room, and followed them in out of curiosity.

"Children's restaurant?" Er Lao thought the name was too straightforward. Ah Yao disagreed, "I think the name Tian Xiu came up with, Hello Tea Restaurant, is both friendly and sincere, and easy to pronounce. I think it's great."

"Yes, yes, I think it's good." The eldest brother Guang also agreed with A Yao's opinion. "But it's not original." The second brother still felt it was not good.

"Then change it. Change hello to ruhao. Ru, it still means you, but hello is too straightforward, while ruhao has a much higher level. Ru is three drops of water plus the character for woman, and women are made of water. Three drops of water plus water, water represents wealth, and wealth will come rolling in." Kang Qirui used the same statement as the old man in the original story.

Everyone was convinced immediately and they all agreed to use the name Ruhao Tea Restaurant.

It is really difficult to collect debts at the end of the year. Someone owes me 20,000 yuan in design fees and refuses to pay. It is really annoying.
