Chapter 113 Canteen Landlady
At noon, Shanzhang, Master Liao and four other masters came to the bookstore. After Xihui and the others knew about it, they accompanied them to visit the bookstore. Qingyang ran past the restaurant to tell her that the masters had arrived.
Lin Xijin hurriedly welcomed them to the private room of the restaurant and treated them to tea, wine and meat. After eating several of the restaurant's signature dishes, they praised them highly and made inexplicable eye contact.
After having a good meal and a good drink, the other teachers went to the bookstore next door. Xingjie helped them apply for six VIP cards, including Shanzhang and Teacher Liao. As long as they bought books in the bookstore, they could enjoy a 30% discount.
The dean and Master Liao stayed. Lin Xijin felt a little puzzled and could only patiently accompany them to drink tea, but she didn't dare to ask anything.
The two looked at each other, and finally the headmaster spoke up, "Jiahui County Lady, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if you can spare some manpower to rent the canteen of our academy?"
"The academy cafeteria? Isn't there someone renting it now?" Lin Xijin was a little confused, not knowing why the dean made such a request.
"It's like this. The couple who rented the cafeteria were relatives of our former teacher. The couple's son was transferred to Kyoto a few years ago, and they planned to go with him, so they wanted to terminate the contract with the academy one year in advance. Today, we ate your food, which was so delicious, so we came up with the idea of letting you take over. It was really presumptuous of us." The dean explained.
"Oh, is that so? It's just that Delicious Zhai is not opened by me alone. I need some time to discuss it with my partners. Can I give you an answer tomorrow?" Lin Xijin did not agree immediately.
"The academy also has a farm, which is also rented out along with the canteen at a low rent. It is usually used to grow vegetables and supply the canteen. If necessary, you can rent it as well." Master Liao added.
"I will discuss this afternoon with the other hosts and hand over the results tomorrow morning."
"Okay, look forward to the good news." The two said goodbye.
After seeing off the headmaster and the master, the diners in the restaurant also left after eating. Lin Xijin called together Uncle Jianan and the chef to discuss the matter of renting the canteen.
Uncle Jian'an and his companion were very excited because Qingsong Academy had nearly two thousand teachers and students, and most of those who could study were children of wealthy families with considerable spending power.
The chef was also very excited, after all, in addition to his fixed salary, he also received dividends and commissions. But he knew that Lin Xijin was fully capable of running Delicious House, so he remained silent. Lin Xijin looked at him calmly, and the chef could only nod in agreement.
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Lin Xijin finally decided to rent the academy's cafeteria and the manor. The academy's cafeteria was renamed "Qingsong Academy Delicious Cafeteria". In order to take into account both inside and outside, diners from outside can enter the specially open space from the back door to dine, which can also separate them from the students.
The store outside is simply connected to the bookstore and used as a reading room, which usually provides some snacks such as tea, fruits, and cold drinks. Of course, these things can also be provided in the cafeteria.
After a few people agreed, after breakfast the next day, Lin Xijin and Uncle Jianan went to see the headmaster. Accompanied by the headmaster and the college manager Liao Bike, the two visited the cafeteria.
The layout of the cafeteria is quite consistent with yesterday's idea. As long as a door is opened in the backyard of the cafeteria, it will be convenient for diners outside to come in and dine. The passages between the front and back yards can be blocked, and the inside and outside can be well separated.
Not far from the back door of the canteen is the farm. The farm is not big, only about 200 acres, but it is enough to supply the canteen if it is used simply to grow vegetables.
After a round of talks, Lin Xijin and Uncle Jianan were both very satisfied and decided to sign the contract immediately. The terms of the contract were the same as the previous one, with not much change, and the rent was also very low.
Lin Xijin took the initiative to propose to use 10% of the profits to reward the teachers and students for their achievements, which was beyond the headmaster's expectations.
However, Lin Xijin requested that a clause be added to the contract, which is that the canteen has absolute autonomy in its operations as long as food safety is guaranteed, and the hospital has no right to interfere.
During the signing process, she vaguely felt that Manager Liao was not very happy, but it didn't matter. She didn't need to act according to his expression.
After consulting with them, the original servants in the cafeteria stayed. Although Lin Xijin saw two people with shifty eyes and didn't look like good people, it was hard to make a conclusion after just meeting them, so she had to keep them for the time being and wait and see what would happen next.
"Liang Derong, drive to the Fucheng Delicious Restaurant and ask the shopkeeper to send two chefs over, and ask him to send an accountant to manage the finances. Then go back to the farm in town and ask the head of the farm to send eight people from the breeding group to grow vegetables. Also call the secret guards Lin Dong and Lin Nan."
Liang Derong took the order and left.
Uncle Jianan went to find a craftsman to rearrange the layout of the cafeteria.
In the evening, the owner of Fucheng Delicious Restaurant came with two chefs and an accountant. Lin Xijin called the owner and Uncle Jianan and his wife together to sign a new contract.
Lin Xijin proposed to take 20% of the profits, and use 10% as reward funds to reward teachers and students.
"Jin'er, I don't agree with your distribution plan. Because of you, we were able to rent the cafeteria and the farm. You worked so hard for the cafeteria, how can you only take 20%? Each of our families will take 30%, and the remaining 10% will be used as reward funds for the college." Uncle Jian'an had obviously thought it over carefully, and his words were powerful.
"Yes, Jin'er, we should also participate in doing charity work, and we must divide it this way. Otherwise, Jian'an and I will have to withdraw." Aunt Jian'an also echoed her husband.
The shopkeeper also helped to persuade them. So the contract became that each of the three parties took 30% of the profits, and the remaining 10% was donated to the academy as a reward fund.
Lin Xijin secretly sighed at her luck in this life. Most of the people she met were honest and kind. Uncle Jianan and Aunt Jianan were kind people. They did not seek ill-gotten gains, knew how to repay kindness, and were generous and charitable. Such people were rare in the world and were truly precious.
