Wanjin Lady

Chapter 351: Finding a Restaurant

"Young General Zhao?" Wen Wan frowned. "You mean... Zhao Heng?"

Jiang nodded, "It's him!"

Wen Wan was just wondering why Zhao Heng was so eager to help her find a wet nurse, when Jiang Shi immediately became the boss's direct hire. "Shopkeeper Wen, my father used to be a master in the escort agency, and I learned some martial arts from him. I see that you, a woman, are out in the public eye doing business, and you might have rivals in the business world. Perhaps I can protect the young lady and the young master in a critical moment."

Wen Wan instantly forgot about Zhao Heng, Wei Zheng, and the restaurant.

Wen Wan, who came from another world, knows how precious a good confinement nanny is!

The man who pried her away was fearless.

But digging out her confinement nanny would be a blood feud!
Wen Wan made the decision on the spot and happily ordered Liu Yiyi to prepare the paperwork. Then she asked, "How did General Zhao know I needed a wet nurse?"

How did Zhao Heng know about such private matters?
Ah!
How could a man named Zhao Heng be a good person?
Jiang shook his head, "I don't know about that."

Wen Wan was angry. Although Zhao Heng had solved her most pressing problem, anyone would feel unhappy if their privacy was pried into like this. "Where are they?"

"He said a traitor had framed him to Lord Wei, and he was trapped in the West Mountain camp...cleaning dung buckets."

Wen Wan laughed out loud, "Serves you right!"

After the wet nurse took office, Wen Wan had no more constraints in her actions. She visited all the restaurants in Bozhou City, big and small, and tasted the special dishes of each restaurant with Old Madam Yao. She even went to all the romantic places in the city, such as the so-called Qingge Winery.

Since we want to open a different restaurant, we naturally need to know ourselves and our competitors.

Chen Dynasty Restaurant has serious product homogeneity. Most of them are in the model of drinks + dishes + singing and dancing. The decoration and design are also similar. They all have a magnificent and majestic architectural style with attics and corridors.

Wen Wan was also thinking, how can this unique restaurant break through the siege?
Fortunately, Manager Lei brought good news, saying that there was a restaurant for sale near the west city. Except for the land area... none of the other conditions met Wen Wan's requirements.

However, it is difficult to find a suitable restaurant, so Wen Wan took Madam Yao and others to conduct an on-site inspection.

When they arrived, Shopkeeper Lei was already waiting. As soon as he saw Wen Wan, he came up to greet her eagerly. He also saw a strange woman beside her, and Wen Wan treated her with great respect in her words and actions. Shopkeeper Lei was just trying to figure out who this woman was, but Wen Wan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper Lei. This is my adoptive mother. You can just call her Madam Yao!"

Stepmother? Her surname is Yao?
Could it be——

Shopkeeper Lei's expression changed slightly, but he then calmly greeted the guests. Being a smooth-talking man, he deliberately ignored Old Madam Yao's identity and, as they walked, he spoke to Wen Wan about the restaurant. "Shopkeeper Wen, this restaurant is in a remote location, and business has been slow. The owner wanted to sell it, but he had been asking for a high price. But for some reason, two days ago, when I mentioned you were the buyer, he changed his mind and said he wanted to ask the real owner to make the final decision."

"What a coincidence." Shopkeeper Lei smiled. He was a lean, capable middle-aged man. Unlike the plump and round pig spirit, Shopkeeper Lei had bright eyes and was very considerate. Wen Wan felt much less worried when working with him. "Perhaps Shopkeeper Wen knows this man."

"Oh?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged woman in plain clothes standing in the courtyard corridor, accompanied by a man who looked like a housekeeper.

Wen Wan felt that this person looked familiar. Although he was dressed simply, the colors were elegant. Wen Wan recognized that the fabric was a plain brocade woven with "three twills".

A piece of cloth...can be worth up to a hundred strings of cash.

This is true elegance and luxury.

The other person introduced himself with a smile, "How are you, Manager Wen? I'm Mo Sufang. We met last time at the birthday party of the magistrate's mother."

Wen Wan suddenly remembered this person; this was He Niangzi's mother-in-law! After the two exchanged greetings, Madam Mo led Wen Wan upstairs and introduced her to the restaurant, "This restaurant is where I started my business. I began by selling tofu in a small shop on the ground floor, and gradually built up this building and amassed a fortune."

"Later, the earth dragon turned over and this area became a ruin."

"So I bought this land and built this building, but... all the original neighbors moved away, and the place gradually became deserted, and business declined significantly."

Mrs. Mo walked in front. Although she was a middle-aged woman of forty, she had a slender figure, fair skin, a calm temperament, and spoke slowly and steadily. She was a rare person who made Wen Wan feel good about her at first sight.

Wen Wan walked and looked around when Madam Mo's voice came slowly, "This building has three floors. Each floor is about fifteen feet long and seven feet wide. Each floor has a screen, a private room... and a separate stable in the front."

Wen Wan opened the window and saw an open space below, which was of moderate size. Behind it was a fence, which was very cheap to use as a place for entertainment.

Wenwan was immediately moved.

"May I ask, Shopkeeper Wen, what business do you plan to make after taking over this restaurant?"

Wen Wan smiled and half-spoken, "Open a restaurant, but make it different from others."

"What's the difference?"

"I want to open a restaurant exclusively for women. I can't reveal the details because I haven't thought about it yet."

Madam Mo smiled and said, "I once had the same idea as Shopkeeper Wen, but something unexpected happened with my business at the time, so I didn't have the chance to try it out. This place is a bit remote, so it might not be suitable for an ordinary restaurant. But since you want to open a restaurant specifically for women, a secluded and quiet location might be a benefit."

Madam Mo, with her years of experience in business, instantly turned the restaurant's disadvantages into advantages. "Besides, being a woman is both easy and difficult to do business with. The restaurant serves the wives of the rich and powerful. These women value privacy the most and travel in carriages. There aren't many restaurants in the city with their own stables... so Shopkeeper Wen naturally doesn't have many options."

"Shopkeeper Mo, what you said makes sense." Wen Wan clapped her hands and smiled, "But to be honest, your restaurant really suits my taste. Please give me a sincere price."

Shopkeeper Mo stared into her eyes.

There are many stories of outstanding female entrepreneurs who started from scratch in Bozhou City. Madam Yuan is one of them, but the most successful one is Madam Mo in front of him.

Moreover, they are all widows.

I have to say that men can only affect the speed at which women draw their swords!

Mrs. Mo has typical almond-shaped eyes. She is majestic when she is not smiling, and as gentle as a spring breeze when she smiles. She is calm during negotiations but can control the entire rhythm. Such gentle demeanor has only been seen in the big boss of Party A before.

Madam Mo, however, smiled and threw the question back to Wen Wan: "Shopkeeper Wen, how much do you think this restaurant is worth?"

She smiled gently, "I don't know the land prices in Bozhou City."

Of course she knew.

She visited all the restaurants in Bozhou, big and small. She could get a general idea of ​​the restaurant's specifications, environment, and renovation budget with just a glance.

At this time, the tacit understanding between the supporting actors is tested.

Wenwan glanced at Lei Zexin.
