Chapter 171 The Mysterious Old Man
Early the next morning.
Ye Chen brought Luo Ling and Qian Jiali to the county town.
Yesterday, Ye Chen made a special appointment with Boss Hu.
Today we're going to the site to discuss the renovation details.
"Oh, and the restaurant you promised to open!"
"I've already chosen the shop; it's the one on the very edge of Factory Street. That way, you run your pharmaceutical market, I'll run my restaurant, and we won't interfere with each other!"
Luo Ling offered a reminder, and Ye Chen immediately patted his chest and assured her.
"Don't worry, I've been thinking about this restaurant for a while now. I'll have Boss Hu find someone to renovate it for you, but you'll have to figure out how to hire the workers yourself!"
"Alright, I'll go to the county town now and try my luck to see if I can recruit a suitable candidate!" Luo Ling clenched her fist and said confidently.
After more than a day of learning, Luo Ling has now mastered Ye Chen's teachings and is proficient in various folk remedies.
With these signature dishes, Luo Ling believes that the restaurant will become famous in a short time thanks to its unique flavor!
After arriving in the county town, the three parted ways, with Luo Ling following Qian Jiali straight to the job market.
Ye Chen drove his farm tricycle to the outside of the factory street.
Boss Hu had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as he saw Ye Chen, he rushed forward.
"My God of Wealth, you've finally arrived! Quickly, quickly, take a look at the blueprints I drew up after going back yesterday!"
As Mr. Hu spoke, he directly displayed a design drawing. Upon seeing this, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.
I originally thought that Boss Hu was able to expand his projects to such a large scale mainly because of his connections.
But now it seems that it's mostly Boss Hu's skill that's to blame!
Yesterday, Boss Hu didn't talk about serious matters on the surface, but after returning home, he took care of everything ahead of time.
With such meticulous attention to detail, it's no wonder they can make a lot of money!
Ye Chen nodded and immediately began discussing the specific details with Boss Hu, referring to the blueprints.
On the other side, after Luo Ling and Qian Jiali arrived at the job market, they couldn't help but frown slightly at the noisy scene in front of them.
Most of the people who appear at the job market are rough men, big and burly, shirtless.
"If you ask me, let's not go. This place looks strange; are we even sure we can find a suitable candidate?"
"How will you know if you don't try? You wait here!" Luo Ling refused Qiang Jiali's suggestion.
Then I went to a shop next door and spent 50 cents to buy paper, pens and a wooden board!
Luo Ling wrote down the recruitment details with a flourish of her pen.
Then, he held up the wooden board and shouted something!
Seeing this, Qian Jiali felt quite uneasy. What if the two women came to this kind of mixed place and started causing trouble?
Fortunately, Qian Jiali's worst fears did not come true; instead, Luo Ling achieved her goal first.
"You're hiring a cook here, you know how to do business, let's discuss this first, what kind of compensation do you offer?"
An elderly man with disheveled, gray hair asked.
Seeing that the other person was at least 60 years old, Luo Ling couldn't help but frown and question him.
"Uncle, are you sure you can cook? I'm planning to open a big restaurant, not just playing around!"
"If all you can do is cook two simple home-style dishes, I suggest you try your luck elsewhere, so as not to waste each other's time."
The old man winked and made faces, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "You look quite pretty, young lady, but how come you can't speak properly?"
"Can't you see that this old man has quite a bit of skill?"
"If you say a few nice words, I might show you something I've got. But if you dare to question me, old man, I'll get angry!"
Seeing the old man's arrogant demeanor, Luo Ling frowned slightly, while Qian Jiali stepped forward and was about to start cursing.
Fortunately, Luo Ling reached out and stopped him, thus preventing a conflict. Afterwards, Luo Ling turned around and spoke to the old man.
"Old man, if you're truly capable, I can't guarantee anything else, but my restaurant will certainly treat you well!"
"What I value most is talent. How much you want in benefits depends entirely on your abilities!"
"Little one, you're interesting. How about this, let me see where your restaurant is located first?" The old man smiled and made the request.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jiali couldn't help but mutter, "We're the bosses, how dare you make demands?"
"Okay!" Luo Ling was exceptionally proactive, nodding in agreement.
"Grandpa, I see you have trouble walking. Please wait here for a moment, and I'll go get the tricycle and take you to the restaurant!"
"Hey, you can afford a tricycle? Looks like a big boss. I guess I've found the right person?" The old man chuckled, and then plopped down on the steps.
He then waved his hand and urged Luo Ling, "Little one, hurry back! If you keep me waiting, don't blame me for being rude!"
Upon seeing this, Luo Ling grabbed Qian Jiali and ran wildly towards Factory Street without saying a word.
Along the way, Qian Jiali was panting heavily. When she finally stopped, she couldn't help but complain.
"Ling, that old man looks filthy; he doesn't look like a capable person at all."
"Why do you value him so much? You could have just dealt with him casually. Why go and pick him up in a tricycle? Doesn't that just embolden him?"
Seeing this, Luo Ling shook her head and reminded her, "Sister Qian, you didn't realize it just now, but I think this old man is a capable person."
"The web of his right hand has thick calluses. People with calluses like that either handle knives or flip woks."
"At his age, he definitely can't lift a knife anymore, so there's only one possibility left! And despite his sloppy appearance, his shoes are exceptionally clean, which proves he's a meticulous person."
"This is a rare opportunity, why not give it a try and see? That old man's talk is so confident, maybe we've really struck gold today!"
After listening to Luo Ling's analysis, Qian Jiali finally understood and nodded in agreement.
"Ling is so observant! Since you've put it that way, we should definitely give it a try. Let's go, let's put on a show of humility and let that old man see our magnanimity!"
The two immediately found Ye Chen, drove the tricycle away, and returned to the job market, only to find the old man who had been sitting on the steps arguing with someone.
A burly middle-aged man pointed at the old man and started shouting.
"You liar! You tricked me last time, claiming to be a master chef. I sent you to my house for a banquet, and what did you actually cook?"
"All the guests I invited have diarrhea, and this is the food you made! If you don't give me an explanation today, this isn't over!"
