Chapter 163 Thinking of Opening a Hot Pot Restaurant
“Because you rejected it from the very beginning.” Tian Tian looked at him and smiled.
Chang Baiwei was puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions.
The matter of processing the property deed was handed over to the brokerage manager.
Chang Baiwei returned to Baiwei Restaurant...
"Because you rejected it from the very beginning..."
"Because you rejected it from the very beginning..."
He muttered to himself...
The shop assistants looked at each other, bewildered. "Young master, what are you talking about?"
Chang Baiwei repeated Tian Tian's words, "What does she mean by that?"
The men looked at each other, unable to figure it out.
"have no idea..."
At this moment, one of the younger men suddenly spoke up.
"Speaking of which... I've always felt that Miss Tian Er looked familiar..."
Last year... a few people came to promote their products.
"Our restaurant was unloading goods at the time, and they were blocking the entrance, so Brother He chased them away..."
The young man rolled his eyes as he recalled, "Brother Xiaohe said at the time... What kind of garbage is this? It smells like beans. I won't buy it, I won't buy it!"
"He almost pushed the person over, but luckily a little girl caught him."
"That little girl is just like Tian Er's daughter."
Chang Baiwei suddenly stood up, "Xiaohe?"
Xiaohe was a shop assistant in his shop. When the shop's business got worse and worse, Xiaohe was the first to quit.
This person is usually cunning and deceitful, and always complains when he speaks.
Chang Baiwei had long disliked him, but he was the grandson of the old manager of Baiwei Restaurant, and it was really difficult to dismiss him out of courtesy.
Business at the shop was slow, so Xiaohe resigned, citing the old shopkeeper's poor health and need for care.
Chang Baiwei was actually quite pleased at the time; this annoying guy was finally gone...
Little did they know, the seeds of disaster had already been sown.
It turns out that what Miss Tian said was true.
They refused from the start.
Chang Baiwei sighed helplessly...
He glanced at everyone, "I've already sold the Baiwei Restaurant to Miss Tian Er."
"What?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Once I get the money, I will pay you all the wages I owe you," Chang Baiwei continued.
As for your future...
"It all depends on whether Miss Tian Er is willing to let you stay."
The men: "Young Master..."
Chang Baiwei waved his hand, "Alright, that's enough, don't say anything more."
"That's fine too. Anyway, the shop has no business, and it'll close down sooner or later if we keep going like this."
"It would be better to close down sooner rather than later."
He waved his hand, "Everyone, pack up and rest tomorrow. The day after tomorrow... come to the shop and I'll pay you your wages."

Tian Tian handed over 1,100 taels of silver notes to Chang Baiwei.
She was holding the newly issued shop deed in her hand.
"Miss Tian, these... are our restaurant's waiters."
Chang Baiwei held the silver note in his hand, glanced at everyone, and said, "The previous misunderstandings... were all my fault, and had nothing to do with them."
"The second young lady will probably continue to run the Baiwei Restaurant after buying it, right?"
"Could we... just let them keep doing it?"
Tian Tian scanned the crowd.
The waiters at Baiwei Restaurant were all young men, the youngest being only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the oldest just over twenty.
Their eyes gleamed with longing...
"no!"
Tian Tian's rejection extinguished all hope in everyone's eyes.
They looked at Chang Baiwei, "Young Master, forget it..."
"Let's find other jobs."
They had previously targeted Xiao Si and spread rumors detrimental to Baishi Teahouse and Fulai Restaurant...
Although it was all done at the young master's request, once it's done, it's done.
It's perfectly normal that Miss Tian Er doesn't want them.
"The shop I want to open is different from the restaurant. Even if they want to continue, they will need to be properly trained."
Tian Tian looked at everyone...
The shop assistant who chased their family away from the shop entrance was not among them.
"This can't be rushed. I need to renovate the shop first."
"You can help renovate the shop in the meantime."
Everyone was overjoyed, "Thank you, Second Miss, thank you, Second Miss!"

With restaurants and teahouses...
Tian Tian has no intention of turning this shop into a restaurant or teahouse.
She wants to open... a hot pot restaurant!
Summer is almost over, and it's the perfect time for hot pot.
And with such a large plot of land, the vegetables she grows are just enough to supply the hot pot restaurant.
In the dead of winter, she can even build a greenhouse to grow vegetables...
Just imagine, in the dead of winter, when there are no fresh vegetables available, everyone can only eat cabbage and radishes...
At this time, there was a hot pot restaurant that was both warm and served with fresh vegetables...
It's definitely going to be a hit!!
That's why she grows so many chili peppers.
She wants to replicate the broth for a hot pot with butter...
Although tallow was relatively difficult to obtain in this era.
But she can use a mixture of lard and vegetable oil in a 1:2 ratio to replace butter, and it tastes just as good.

"Not running a restaurant?"
When Tian Tian told Qian Fulai her idea, Qian Fulai was very surprised.
"When you wanted to buy Baiwei Restaurant, wasn't it because you wanted to open a branch of Fulai Restaurant? Why didn't you open the restaurant then?"
Tian Tian said helplessly, "When did I ever say I wanted to open another branch of Fulai Restaurant in Baishi County?"
Why open so many restaurants in the same county?
If we're going to open one, we should open it in another county.
Qian Fulai frowned, recalling carefully, and it seemed... Tian Tian really hadn't mentioned opening a branch shop in Baishi County...
So, he misunderstood.
Even if... even if you didn't say it...
"Baiwei Restaurant is a restaurant, so it's more appropriate for it to be a restaurant."
"Then I bought Chuxing Restaurant, but opened Baishi Teahouse instead!!" Tian Tian retorted.
Qian Fulai thought about it and agreed.
"So... what is this hot pot you're talking about?"
Tian Tian put it another way, "It's actually just a hot pot."
Hot pots also exist in this era, especially in winter.
The hot pot of this era is somewhat similar to the dry pot of her world, with a small iron stove underneath.
A piece of charcoal is placed in a small iron stove, and soup is placed in a bowl on top of it.
This is done so that the soup dishes won't get cold too quickly when eating them in winter.
"Hot pot... that doesn't warrant opening a dedicated shop."
Fu Lai Restaurant serves hot pot in winter.
"Besides, hot pot is only eaten in winter. Wouldn't it be unbearably hot to eat it in summer?"
Tian Tian raised an eyebrow. "Eating hot pot in the summer is the most refreshing thing."
Air conditioning, iced drinks, frozen desserts...
Everything goes perfectly with hot pot!
Moreover, the hot pot she was talking about was very different from the warm pot he understood.
Putting everything else aside, even the pots they use are different.
With successful air conditioner installation examples...
She could install an electric hot pot from her era in the shop and control the temperature at any time.
Let's create a... modern hot pot restaurant!
