Chapter 146.2 – Teahouse

An Zi Ran was not a foodie in his previous life, but there were many foodies around him, so he ended up learning about a lot of food that he has never eaten, such as the popular borscht soup, which many people liked to drink. He recalled that the main raw ingredient of borscht soup was beef. Other than that, he also told the two how to make hamburgers. The meat in the middle could be made from beef, pork, chicken, etc.

Hamburger was one of the top five fast foods in the western world.

Since it was fast food, it was naturally convenient food.

Zhou Lao Han’s daughter-in-law and Chef Wang quickly came to this conclusion, and even without An Zi Ran there to point the way, they came up with the idea to put several patties of meat in the middle to make a multi-layered hamburger for those with a bigger appetites.

With a goal, the two became even more excited. They stayed in the kitchen all day long, tinkering with the many things that they had never seen before.

They came up with various new recipes before the opening of the An family restaurant.

This time, An Zi Ran did not open the restaurant in the busiest street of the East District, because that place was already saturated with eateries. He wanted to buy a ready-made restaurant but no one was willing to sell. Those who were willing to sell were located in relatively remote places where there was less foot traffic.

In the end, An Zi Ran set his sights on the West District.

Although the West District was not as prosperous as the East District, the flow of people there was catching up to that of East District. There were also quite a few restaurants, teahouses, and eateries here – some were even chain stores – but there was still room for a new restaurant.

Some wealthy businessmen in Jun Zi City valued the prosperous East District more.

On this day, An Zi Ran and Fu Wu Tian came to the busiest street of the West District. This was the largest street in the West District, thus the foot traffic was more concentrated here. It would be better to open a restaurant here.

Two days ago, Ge Qian An heard that there was a boss surnamed Sun who wanted to sell his teahouse. Just the outside of his teahouse was as big as three storefronts. The business of the teahouse used to be very good, but ever since a new teahouse opened right across the street, his business suffered.

If it were just the usual type of business competition, then there would be no need for Boss Sun to sell his teahouse.

He didn’t know if it was intentional or not, but the tea in the newly opened teahouse was better than his in terms of taste and price.

Boss Sun had sent someone out to inquire about it. The other party’s tea was indeed very good, but their profits were not high, so much so that it was very possible the other party was suffering a lost, so he was certain that the other party would fall to ruin in the process of targeting him.

Later, the business in his teahouse became worse and worse. Boss Sun knew that the other party must have an influential background. He was just a small businessman. He would not be able to fight against the other teahouse without a backer, so he decided to sell his teahouse. Either way, he has made a lot of money over the years, so he could go to another place to resume his business.

Thus, Boss Sun started to look for a buyer.

A month ago, a buyer came to his door, and the other party offered an okay price to buy his teahouse, but the price was a little lower than what Boss Sun had expected. He was thinking that there might be other buyers more opened to paying a higher price, he wanted to shop around, so he didn’t immediately agree to the proposal.

Perhaps it was because his teahouse was too big and no one was willing to take the risk with it, but no other buyer came to look for him after that.

Not long after, the buyer from one month ago came back.

Because Boss Sun did not give the other party a reply for a long time, the other side was hinting at the idea of giving up the purchase, so Boss Sun became anxious.

Just when Boss Sun was hesitating over what to do, Ge Qian An, who was ordered to find a suitable place to open a restaurant, appeared in front of him, and expressed that his master intended to buy the teahouse, so the two made an appointment to meet, which was today.

An Zi Ran and Fu Wu Tian followed the address provided by Ge Qian An and came to Boss Sun’s teahouse.

The size of the teahouse was indeed as big as Ge Qian An had told them, but compared with the bustling teahouse on the other side of the street, it could almost be called deserted.

You could count the number of customers on your fingers. The waiter was dozing off with his upper body sprawled across a table and it was still early in the morning. The shopkeeper flicked the beads on an abacus senselessly. The clacking of the beads sounded weak and lifeless. The entire teahouse was suffused with a drowsy atmosphere.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the shopkeeper looked up. He gave them a once over. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, his eyes lit up, and he hurried out from behind the counter to stand in front of them.

“Sirs, did you come here to look for Boss Sun?”

It was apparent that Boss Sun had told the shopkeeper ahead of time that there would be two men coming to look for him, but the shopkeeper didn’t expect them to come so damn early.

An Zi Ran nodded.

The shopkeeper immediately led them to the second floor, saying that Boss Sun was already waiting for them.

Along the way, An Zi Ran took a look at the layout of the teahouse. The teahouse was probably getting on in years for the walls of the place have begun to show signs of peeling. It would definitely cost a lot of money to renovate the place. It was no wonder Boss Sun chose to sell the teahouse.
