Su Tang turned her head as if nothing had happened, and then negotiated with the Boss of Ying Chun Pavilion.

Although she's aware that she might get deceived, she must first understand the situation.

Mr. Zhang didn't expect that there would be a fool coming to the door, so he quickly set the price he wanted.

"I rented this store for five years. Now a year and a half have passed and there are still three and a half years left in the contract. The price is sixty taels of silver a year. You know this is a three-story building, if you follow the price of the surrounding area is at least seventy-two taels and this is the price I agreed upon back then."

Mr. Zhang continued, "This is the rent price and all for the landlord. It has nothing to do with me. But the restaurant decoration and appliances are mines. As long as you pay a transfer fee of 50 taels and sign an agreement, it's all yours! "

Su Tang surveyed the restaurant's environment, her face remained unchanged, "So this is the price, help me calculate the price of the steamer first, then I'll go home to think about it."

"Don't! It is such a good price many people are waiting to ask for it. I see this friend of yours, he looks very elegant, just this amount of silver I'm sure you can afford." Mr. Zhang glanced at Qi Tian Yun but shrank back in fear.

Su Tang said, "It's fine if you don't want to sell the steamers. "

She didn't give the other party a chance to negotiate at all. Mr. Zhang asked his staff to pack the steamer quickly, so at least he could make some profit.

The steamers were still worth a lot of money since they were custom-made; these, now, add up to fifty taels at the top.

Su Tang walked out of Ying Chun Pavilion and glanced back.

Qi Tian Yun said, "If you want to buy it, I will negotiate the price for you. "

Others may not be able to see it but Qi Tian Yun could see how much she wanted to buy the restaurant.

Su Tang shook her head, " There's still time to pay the money but now is not the time to talk about it."

Indeed, Mr. Zhang just wanted to have a lot of profit. Not just to mention the rent price, he still dares to ask her fifty taels for the transfer fee alone?

Not even this restaurant was able to obtain that much profit.

While they were standing at the door and talking, another person came out and he was Hao Quan Kun who had just stifled Su Tang.

Hao Quan Kun frowned and said to Su Tang, "Don't be so stupid as to really want to take over. When you pay the rent for the second half of the year, you will lose money every day in the store, let alone the complicated business like opening a restaurant. He was deceiving you about the price just now. "

Although Hao Quan Kun didn't like Su Tang's skills, he felt that she was cunning but as fellow chefs, he couldn't bear to watch the young woman be deceived.

How many people came over and asked about the price of the restaurant but left immediately.

The three-story restaurant was said to be grand but needed to use too much money to maintain it.

Such a big place needs a lot of staff but the Boss was so stingy that he just hired four people.

Not to mention the kitchen, also requires four or five workers.

There were also accountants, waitresses, and these people's salaries for eating and drinking required a lot of money.

Even if the transfer fee was negotiated, there was still a fixed loss in rent and the staff's monthly salary.

Su Tang did not expect this main chef to look angry but this was for her consideration, some dissatisfaction she had regarding him earlier was now dissipating a little bit.

"Thank you, I will consider it carefully. By the way, do you know how much the salary of the staff here is?"

Hao Quan Kun hesitated but answered, "It seems to be three taels of silver. "

Three taels were less than the salary in her breakfast restaurant.

Su Tang nodded, she already made some calculations in her mind.

Seeing that she still had plans to buy the restaurant, Hao Quan Kun had to leave in frustration. To be honest, he had to find another job, so he had to go to the East district to find a job and see if anyone wanted him as a "chef".

The main reason was that he had no apprentice master background and was regarded as a halfway chef and many people didn't trust him.

There was also the scandal of Ying Chun Pavilion's bankruptcy so some owners would not want him at all.

Qi Tian Yun watched from the side, and saw that Su Tang had a plan for what to do, he had the intention to point out, "If the staff has three taels a month, the chef can have about five taels, and the rest of the assistant chefs are only about three taels, and the apprentices are probably even lower, but in this month, nearly three taels of silver will be paid out for the monthly money alone."

In this era, two taels of silver could be used for an ordinary family of three in the outskirts of the town to eat and drink for a year.

Even if the prices in the capital were more expensive, they would still be able to afford it.

And Su Tang really wanted to buy this restaurant, and she still had to pay the staff salaries for a year and a half in January.

It was really not a small number.

In addition, there was a fixed monthly rent for five taels, as well as additional expenses which cost almost ten taels a month.

Qi Tian Yun never thought that he would even consider ten taels of silver so carefully.

Hundreds of taels of general affairs wouldn't even enter his eyes.

But it was interesting to do the math.

Su Tang also made calculations in her mind, but she had already surveyed her surroundings on the way here and she had made a choice.

If the fifty taels of the additional fee could be lowered then she could accept it..

It is just that if she really wants to buy this restaurant, she would have to spend all the money she had.

But Su Tang was not a fickle person. Since she wants to open a proper restaurant, then she would open it.

Her small restaurant was just expanding a little bit, so why not.

From the Ying Chun Pavilion back to Su Tang's restaurant, Su Tang has made up her mind, she wanted to buy it at a transfer fee that was ten taels, and then she would open the restaurant!

Qi Tian Yun watched her beautiful eyes glance around along the way, he could see her small thoughts and he thought she was very cute.

Qi Tian Yun asked someone to deliver the steamers to her kitchen, cleared his throat, and said, "If you are in trouble, you can come to me."

Su Tang agreed casually and then saw Qi Tian Yun leave.

Wait, didn't he come for dinner? Why did he leave?

And for what Qi Tian Yun talked about, she doesn't even know where he lived so how could she ask for help if she had a problem?

Sure enough, it was just an empty promise.

The two of them have their own thoughts, but all they think about was each other.

Although Su Tang wanted to buy Ying Chun Pavilion, she didn't express her intention for the time being. She only said that she wanted to rent Ying Chun Pavilion, but the transfer fee was too high.

She didn't talk about anything else and even Su Tang herself never went to see the restaurant again and she didn't ask anyone to inquire.

As a consequence, the Boss of Ying Chun Pavilion was anxious.

Su Tang sat firmly in the restaurant, waiting for Mr. Zhang to come to the door.

Now was the time to be more patient.

Su Tang didn't seem to be in a hurry, but she was actually calculating in private.

Let's say Ying Chun Pavilion pays three taels for rent every month, plus the routine maintenance the monthly cost was basically about ten taels.

The daily allocation was almost three or four taels.

With that many cost and expense, it's no wonder that Mr. Zhang was anxious to get rid of it from his hand.

If there were no profits for a day, the lost income would be three or four taels.

So she was not in a hurry now. Right now it is the end of April and it will be May soon. The first half of the year has passed in a blink of an eye, and Ying Chun Pavilion would have to pay the rent for the second half of the year.

Su Tang didn't believe that Mr. Zhang could keep relaxed.

But she could.

Now what was on Su Tang's mind was to prepare for the fourth round of the God of Cooking Competition that was to take place in May.

Although Hao Quan Kun talks ruthlessly, he also stirred Su Tang's mind. Did people think she was cunning and did she need to be one?

It seems right to think about it this way.

Whether it was green onions mixed with tofu, vegetable congee, or steamed acacia, none of them were grandiose dishes.

Now that the competition has reached the fourth round, which was the fifty to thirty match, she was bound to show some real skills.

This was the time to show everyone!

Let everyone see that she doesn't just cook breakfast and homemade dishes.

In addition to preparing for the competition, Su Tang also took care of the breakfast business in the restaurant.

However, with Aunt Zhou and Wang Wu's wife, basically doesn't need to worry about it. The two of them were already very capable.

Even so, she couldn't neglect the two of them.

She came out to do work in order to have the money in her hand. She could never be the black-hearted one and deduct the money of the two of them.

When May came, it was the time to pay last month's salary.

Salary!

This matter was very important!

On the fourth day of May, the day before the fourth round of the God of Cooking Competition, Aunt Zhou and Wang Wu's wife was about to go back after lunch, but they were stopped by Su Tang.

"Aunties, don't rush back in a hurry." Su Tang said with a smile, closed the door of the small restaurant, and said, "It's time to pay the salary. From now on, it will be paid on the 4th or 5th of each month. Now if I forget about it after the date please remind me."

Salary?

Aunt Zhou and Wang Wu's wife were a little shocked when they heard this.

In fact, it was much better to come here to work than elsewhere. Although women's status is higher now, people give them less salary at work.

Now when they come to Su's restaurant, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking and the Boss won't complain about how much we eat.

Usually, the Boss was very polite, never bossing around, when they worked they felt more comfortable than at home.

Especially Wang Wu's wife, as soon as she got home, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were all idle, so it was better to be in the restaurant.

Although the two of them didn't say this, they both keep the Boss's kindness in their hearts.

Besides, although they didn't work in other stores, they also heard that late payments of wages were normal. Their Bosses were really not used to paying the salaries on time like this.

Su Tang took out the ledger and said to Aunt Zhou first, "Auntie came here on the sixth day of April. Although it is not yet a full month, it is almost the same. Besides the renovations of the restaurant, Aunt Zhou has helped me a lot so I will press the whole month for you in April. "

Su Tang weighed four taels of silver and asked Aunt Zhou to look at the silver scales.

(T/N: 1 tael of silver is 38 gr)

Aunt Zhou really didn't expect that the owner would be so generous!

But she was ashamed of the money.

After all, she hasn't done a full month and she still took a few days off during the month. Although it was because the small restaurant closed because Su Tang needs rest, she also took a break.

Seeing her stunned expression, Su Tang stuffed the money into her hand: "You deserve it, don't be polite. If the number is not right, auntie, just tell me "

Aunt Zhou looked at the money in her hand. This was the most salary she had received in recent years.

With this money, she could buy a new piece of cloth and some paper for her son Zhou Cong. Maybe she could add shampoo to the list. It seems that she hasn't used this thing for a long time.

It was not a dream now, it was real.

When Wang Wu's wife turned, she happened to come over on April 16th so Su Tang paid her half a month's worth of salary which was two taels of silver.

This money was enough to make her excited, usually, her husband's income for a month of hard work could only get five or six taels, her husband also needed to do the heaviest and most tiring work.

Now she just helps out in the restaurant and these jobs like dishwashing, cooking, and cleaning were easy for someone who was a housewife.

When the money was in hand, Wang Wu's wife couldn't help but pinch herself.

"Oh, this is not a dream! "

Aunt Zhou and Wang Wu's wife excitedly took the silver and walked home.

Aunt Zhou thought about those mean neighbors, weren't they excited to make trouble in front of her house?

She was full of energy for a fight today but also going to buy pork so that people around her could know that she could also afford to raise her son and herself.

Those who laughed at her as a widow, now look at her, they were not as good as her!

And Wang Wu's wife walked in the clouds. Isn't her mother-in-law always mean to her?

And her sister-in-law also joked that she couldn't give birth to children. She had only been married for over a year, so it was normal to still haven't had any children.

Hehe, now look at how capable she was, still dare to look down on her?

Pretty sure they were the ones who were going to bow down to greet her.

Her husband does his work seriously and she also does her work well. Maybe she could save a tael of silver a month!

When they save enough money, they could buy a small yard by themselves. The couple would definitely live a more relaxed life than they were now.

Aunt Zhou and Wang Wu's wife were not only thinking about these things but also grateful to Su Tang.

If it weren't for Su Tang, their lives wouldn't have changed so much, let alone have such confidence.

For all of this, they must thank their Boss Su Tang.
