Chapter II Debt Collection

"Xiaotian, you have some rest first, grandpa will go outside to take a look." Yan Yunhua seemed a little anxious and patted Yan Nantian in a daze and said.

"Grandpa, I'll go with you." Yan Nantian suggested that this was related to whether he would be homeless in the future, so Yan Nantian naturally did not dare to take it lightly.

"Okay, let's go together." Yan Yunhua agreed readily. At this time, Yan Nantian had just recovered from a serious illness, and leaving him here alone, Yan Yunhua was not very relieved.

"Zhou Dawa, you are leading the way." Yan Yunhua stretched out his right hand, pointed to the friend next to him, and said.

"Yes, the old shopkeeper." The guy who was called Zhou Dawa bowed and responded, then walked out of the room.

It was not a matter of one or two days that Yipinju Restaurant’s business failed. Most of the enthusiastic guys and chefs left Yipinju Restaurant.

Therefore, in addition to Yan Nantian’s grandparents and grandchildren, Yipinju Restaurant only has two employees left, one is this guy Zhou Dawa, and the other is Zhou Dawa’s father Zhou Dacheng.

The group of three left the room and walked towards the first floor. As soon as they reached the stairs on the first floor, they saw a rich man coming up. It was Wu Yuanwai, the landlord of the restaurant.

Mr. Wu’s name is Wu Chunlai. He has no legitimate job, but the Wu family’s ancestors have quite some industries. Wu Chunlai lives by collecting rent, but ordinary people live more comfortably.

"Mr. Wu, I have been waiting for you for a long time." After seeing Wu Chun coming, Yan Yunhua hurriedly bowed and said.

"Shopkeeper Yan, you don't have to be polite to me. As long as you can pay the rent, it is better than anything else." Wu Chunlai said with a slight smile.

"Mr. Wu, I will definitely make up for the rent for you this month, but the restaurant has been in a state of being in a state of reversal recently. I hope you will be given a few days of grace." Yan Yunhua said with a wry smile.

"No, I'll just point to the rent. You either give me the rent immediately or move out of the restaurant immediately. Anyway, my house is not a tenant." Wu Chunlai sneered and said.

"Mr. Wu, Yipinju is my lifelong effort. If you want to take back the restaurant now, would my Yipinju go bankrupt? Please be kind." Yan Yunhua said with a hint of begging.

"No, it's natural to collect rent in a house. Whether your Yipinju or not goes bankrupt is nothing to do with me." Wu Chunlai said disdainfully.

A few days ago, Wu Chunlai did not come to buy the house. It was not that Wu Chunlai was so kind, but that he had never found the next home. Now he found the guest who rented a restaurant, and Wu Chunlai immediately came to drive the house.

"Shopkeeper Yan, look at your appearance and you can't afford to pay the rent, so I have to take back this restaurant." Wu Chunlai ignored Yan Yunhua's plea and waved to the thug behind him, saying:

"Come here, lord, I want to take back this restaurant and drive all the idle people out for me."

After hearing Wu Chunlai's order, several helpers immediately walked in. Everyone was holding weapons in their hands, looking arrogant, and acted like they were driving people.

Looking at his grandfather's aging appearance in an instant, Yan Nantian couldn't help but feel annoyed. Although Wu Chun came to collect the rent, his attitude was too bad and unkind.

Yan Nantian suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Mr. Wu, you can do it if you want us to move out of the restaurant, but you have to give us at least half a month to move, so you can't let us sleep on the streets."

"So what if you sleep on the streets? What does it have to do with me?" Wu Chunlai sneered.

"Wu Chunlai, how could you be so inhumane?" Yan Yunhua shouted loudly, stared at Wu Chunlai, and said:

"I have rented this restaurant for decades, and the rent price has risen again and again. Most of the money Yipinju earned has been in your pocket. Now that I have paid the rent for a month late, you have to drive our grandparents and grandchildren out."

After hearing Yan Yunhua's reprimand, Wu Chunlai was somewhat conscientious and showed a hint of disgust on his face. After all, the other party rented the restaurant for decades and immediately drove the other party out of the restaurant. It was indeed a bit unkind.

"Well, I am a kind person, so I will give you seven days to move. If you still stay here in seven days, don't blame me for hitting the dog without sticking it."

Wu Chunlai cut the time by half, glared at Yan Yunhua and the others with contempt, then raised his double chin and led a group of helpers to hang out.

Watching Wu Chunlai leave, Yan Yunhua never said a word. He seemed to have grown a lot aged all of a sudden. The helplessness in his heart could only turn into a sigh and say:

"Xiaotian... it's my grandfather who is useless, and I can't even protect Yipinju."

Yan Yunhua himself is a chef and has a special relationship with the restaurant. Yipinju is like his child, so how could he give up easily?

"Grandpa, we have been fighting for seven days. As long as Yipinju's business can improve, we can pay back the rent on credit and continue to use the restaurant. Yipinju doesn't have to go bankrupt." Yan Nantian said with his grandfather's arm.

Yan Nantian said this not only to comfort his grandfather, but also out of his own considerations. Yan Nantian was a chef in his previous life. He had decades of memory of a chef and also needed the Yipinju Restaurant platform to display his cooking skills and abilities.

Moreover, Yan Nantian believed in his strength and revitalized Yipinju Restaurant in a short period of time with the cooking skills he learned from Earth.

"You are right. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up." Seeing that my grandson is so strong, Yan Yunhua seemed to have found the backbone.

"Grandpa, the business in our restaurant is not a day or two. Although I was ill in bed for the past half month, I have been thinking about how to improve the business of the restaurant." Yan Nantian said.

"Then tell me, what good is there?" Yan Yunhua asked after regaining some energy.

In his previous life, Yan Nantian worked as a chef in a five-star hotel. These things naturally made him unable to do so. Yan Nantian thought for a moment and said:

"If you want to change the restaurant business, you should start from three aspects; one is to widely promote Yipinju. Only when the publicity is done can you attract more guests; the second is to decorate the restaurant inside to have a comfortable dining environment; the third is to make more delicious dishes, which is the fundamental thing to attract customers."

"Well, you have a good idea and thoughtfulness, but the restaurant has seven days left, so it is definitely too late to decorate. We don't have much money, so we can only work hard on publicity and dishes." Yan Yunhua nodded and responded.

Just as the grandparents and grandchildren were talking, Zhou Dacheng and Zhou Dawa and his son also walked over quietly and stood silently beside Yan Yunhua.

Zhou Dacheng and Zhou Dawa and his son look quite similar. They are both short and strong, with a round face, but Zhou Dacheng is a little more honest, while Zhou Dawa is a little more clever.

Yan Yunhua seemed to notice the two of them, looked at Zhou Dacheng, then sighed and said, "Dacheng, you have heard everything just now, you also know the situation in the restaurant. If you father and son want to leave, I won't stop you."

Yan Nantian was not surprised when he heard Yan Yunhua's words. Everyone had to consider themselves. The restaurant is now facing a huge crisis. Even if the Zhou family father and son want to leave Yipinju, it is not something that cannot be understood.

Compared to the calmness of the Yan family's grandparents and grandchildren, the Zhou family's father and son seemed a little nervous. Zhou Dawa looked at his father next to him, while Zhou Dacheng clenched his fists and frowned into the word "mountain".

After a moment, Zhou Dacheng breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had made the final decision, and said, "Old shopkeeper, I have worked in Yipinju for decades, and Zhou Dawa also grew up here. As long as Yipinju is still in one day, we will not go anywhere."

"Dacheng, thank you." Yan Yunhua's eyes turned red and she said with some emotion.

Yan Nantian also nodded secretly. A good chef team may not require too many people, but people must be united. It is easier for the Zhou family to stay and revitalize the restaurant.

"Grandpa, since Uncle Zhou and the others are going to stay, I happened to think of a way to promote the restaurant, and I still need the two of them to help me." Yan Nantian said.

The restaurant can be used for seven days. Yan Nantian must break the time and use it after kneading it to use it in order to raise the restaurant for one month's rent in such a short time.

Therefore, Yan Nantian was preparing to divide his troops into two groups, and Zhou Dacheng and his son were responsible for the publicity, while he and Yan Yunhua were responsible for the development of new dishes, and only by taking a two-pronged approach could the restaurant be revitalized as soon as possible.

"Young shopkeeper, if you have any questions, just give me instructions. Although my father and son have no idea and can't help much, it's okay to run errands." Zhou Dacheng said.

"Okay." Yan Nantian responded and then ordered: "Uncle Zhou, go and invite a tailor for me. Big kids will help me find a few children in their teens."

Just as Yan Nantian finished giving instructions, Zhou Dawa asked curiously: "Young shopkeeper, since you are going to promote the restaurant, what can the tailor and a group of children do?"
