Chapter 214 Gaoji Restaurant

A few people ate something on the way and did not delay their journey. When they returned to Qingshui County, it was already past noon.

The few of them didn't stop and drove directly to the door of the restaurant that Zheng Sisi saw being transferred last time. This restaurant had the sign of Gao Ji Restaurant. Due to the decreasing number of customers, the owner felt that he could not sustain it anymore and thought of selling the restaurant.

It was just past noon and there were no customers dining in the restaurant. The shopkeeper saw so many people coming to the door and thought that business was picking up. He was both happy and worried. He was happy that there were customers, but worried that there was no food left in the restaurant.

After they entered the room, they found a few tables in the lobby on the first floor and sat down.

The shopkeeper came forward and saw that the county magistrate Zhao was among the group of people. They must be from a wealthy family. He asked enthusiastically, "What would you like to eat, young men and women?"

Zheng Sisi asked: "Boss, what kind of dishes do you have in your restaurant?"

The shopkeeper was in a dilemma. Business was not good, and the cost of several special dishes was high. If he prepared them but didn't sell them, the loss would be even greater.

There are so many customers now and there is no food, the shopkeeper is in a difficult situation.

Zheng Sisi saw the shopkeeper's difficulty and said, "Shopkeeper, I saw a shop for sale sign hanging on your door. Is this the restaurant?"

When the shopkeeper heard that you were here to buy a restaurant, he paused and said, "Girl, you are here to buy a restaurant."

Zheng Sisi nodded: "Should I talk to you or your boss?"

The shopkeeper had a sad face and sighed, "Sigh, sorry to make you laugh. I am the owner of this restaurant. I finally saved some money and thought I could open a restaurant in the county town to support my family. I didn't expect that it was okay at the beginning, but then the number of customers gradually decreased. Now I can't make ends meet and I have to pay money every day. I can't change the current situation, so I can only sell this restaurant."

Zheng Sisi asked: "Boss, what's your name?"

The shopkeeper said, "My last name is Gao. Ladies, I see you are all relatively young. Can you make the decision to buy a restaurant?"

Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "Boss Gao, you can make the decision about this restaurant, but I can make the decision about buying the restaurant."

Seeing what she said, Mr. Gao thought she would not lie to him, especially since Captain Zhao had been standing behind her without saying anything.

He said, "Miss, I won't hide it from you. I bought this restaurant for 500 taels of silver. Later, I spent more than 200 taels on decorating and buying tables and chairs. I'm not going to make a profit now, but at least I have to get my capital back. You offer 800 taels, and I don't even want the tables, chairs, and benches in the restaurant."

Zheng Sisi said, "Then take us around to see if it's worth the eight hundred taels."

Boss Gao said, "Okay, girl, please follow me."

Boss Gao took the group upstairs and downstairs, and took a tour of the backyard and kitchen. The restaurant was newly decorated and should have not been open for long. It was fully equipped with all kinds of supplies. There were warehouses and side rooms in the backyard, and there was also a well in the yard, making it very convenient to use water.

Zheng Sisi was very satisfied, but she didn't show it on her face. The other people all came from big houses and were taught not to show their emotions since childhood. Boss Gao couldn't tell what they were thinking at all.

Back in the lobby, Boss Gao asked, "Miss, what do you think?"

Zheng Sisi asked: "Boss Gao, you sold the restaurant to me, are you going to do business somewhere else?"

Boss Gao said unhappily, "I may not be cut out for business. I just want to get my money back and live a peaceful life at home. I don't want to dream of getting rich anymore."

Zheng Sisi nodded and asked, "You've sold the restaurant to me, so how will you arrange the waiters and chefs in the restaurant?"

Boss Gao said, "Thank goodness for your thoughtfulness, young lady. I think everyone has been with me for such a long time. If the next boss is willing to accept them, I will be happy to recommend them to him. These people are very hardworking and down-to-earth. It's just that my business is not good, so I can't keep them with me forever."
