It is said that in ancient times, information spread slowly due to traffic restrictions, but in Sun Tu's opinion, this was not the case at all, because in just two days, the news that his store had rare wine had spread throughout the city. Many people from outside the county town came here specifically to have a taste of it.
So in the next period of time, the small Sun's hotel was always full of guests and friends, so busy that neither Xiaohe nor Sun Tu could spare any time. In the end, even Ya'er had no choice but to come from home to help. Only then did we reluctantly make arrangements for these guests.
Of course, hard work can also bring huge rewards. Although Sun Tu did not raise the price of wine, it was still sold for ten cents. Their income has exceeded the usual big money, which is something Yu Xiao and others never dreamed of before.
Especially Ya'er, when she saw the golden coins being thrown into the earthen jars for storage, she didn't feel the slightest bit tired. She was smiling all day long, and her previous worries and worries were gone. Only then did she know that what the third brother said was indeed true, and that he indeed had a way to pay back the ten thousand dollars he owed before the date.
Sun Tu also sighed with emotion from time to time. He thought that the warehouse was full of cheap garbage, but he didn't expect that the value of it would rise sharply in the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. He was already looking forward to bringing out some when there was another warehouse. What better goods are coming.
Pleasant days always pass quickly. Ten days later, the reputation of Sun's hotel's fine wine has spread to the surrounding counties. Almost every guest who comes here to drink is full of praise for it, while other hotels and restaurants in the same city are full of praise. Not only are the number of drinkers who patronize their wine shop decreasing day by day, but even those who do go there will frown and shake their heads when they drink their wine, saying frankly that it is too far from the Sun family's wine, and now they have no interest in drinking it anymore.
When these statements came to Sun Tu's ears from other drinkers, Yu Xiaohe became a little worried, but he also knew that Sun Tu had to make money to pay off his debts as soon as possible, so he was not in a hurry to persuade him.
But what was supposed to happen happened anyway. At noon that day, when the store was still full of customers and the aroma of food and wine was filling the air, five or six strong men appeared in front of the store in a hurry. They came to one of the tables, glared at a few people, and those people were so frightened that they stood up from their seats, quickly paid their bills and left.
Seeing this, Sun Tu frowned slightly. But since the others were voluntary, he couldn't say anything. He could only smile and greet them: "A few..." Just when he was about to ask them what drinks and food they wanted to order, he suddenly discovered that one of them was the one with few hairs on his head. The old man with the leprous, Hu, stopped talking.
The old man Hu looked at Sun Tu arrogantly: "Sun Sanlang, I heard that the business of your hotel has been booming recently. It seems that you have made a lot of money, right? In this case, you owe our debt to Mr. Zhang Wu. But we can’t delay it any longer.” As he said that, he glanced flatteringly at the tall man sitting at the top. He hit a snag with Sun Tu the day before yesterday. With Master Zhang Wu's support today, he naturally wanted to get the situation back.
Sun Tu also set his sights on this person. He already knew that Zhang Chuan, the fifth master, was a powerful figure in the county. It was said that he was also related to people from Jijiazhuang, which was quite powerful. But he didn't have any fear at all. He just smiled and said, "It turns out that Mr. Zhang Wu came to visit the shop. It's disrespectful."
Zhang Chuanpi looked at him with a smile, and then said: "I really didn't expect that your Sun family would be so lucky to be able to produce such a good wine. Do you know that just because of this wine, even Heshunlou has been selling wine recently?" I can’t drive anymore.”
Yu Xiaohe was listening, and his expression tightened. Heshun Building was one of the properties in Jijiazhuang. He sent the food and wine over to apologize and said with a smile: "Master Zhang Wu is joking, how dare we run a small shop with Heshun?" Are you trying to steal the business? This is the shop's specialty wine and food, and I would like to invite Mr. Wu to taste it."
"I'm not busy, Sun Sanlang. You still won't pay back the ten dollars?" Zhang Chuan ignored him and just stared at Sun Tu and asked with an aggressive attitude.
Sun Tu lowered his head and smiled, and then said: "Actually, you don't need to come to the door. I plan to pay back the money in the next two days." After saying that, he turned around and went to the counter and took out a robe placed inside. , holding it with both hands, he sent it to several people: "Here are ten coins. Click them. All debts owed will be paid back in full." After saying that, he took a step forward and placed it in front of Zhang Wuye and others. On the table in front of you.
The old man, Hu, looked suspicious. He hurriedly untied the robe and looked inside, only to find that there were ten strings of copper coins placed there. This made him even more surprised, with a look of confusion on his face. He looked at Sun Tu with confidence, but couldn't say anything for a long time.
He originally believed that Sun Tu would not be able to come up with so much money at this time. But I didn't expect that the other party would actually return the money. Not only him, but several other people including Zhang Chuan were also stunned for a moment. The few people who were looking for an excuse to have a fit actually became a little distracted.
During this period, other customers in the store hurriedly finished eating and drinking because they felt that Zhang Chuan and the others were unkind, then paid the bill and left. In a moment, there were only two customers at the next table who were still drinking by themselves and were not affected by this. Influence.
Zhang Chuan casually took out a bunch of money and weighed it, then nodded and said: "Okay, Sun Sanlang is indeed a trustworthy person, and this account has been settled. Then I will discuss another transaction with you. .”
Sun Tu glanced at him thoughtfully and said nothing, just waiting for him to finish his words. This attitude made Zhang Chuan and others angry. Several of the men's expressions were already a little unkind, but Zhang Chuan remained calm. He threw the money back into his bag and then said: "To be honest, I have seen it a long time ago." I won your hotel. How about this, you take the money back and treat me as if I bought this hotel with you?"
A sarcastic look suddenly appeared on Sun Tu's face: "Earlier, you asked the old man to blackmail my house. If you don't pay back, you will take away my Sun's hotel. Now that I have paid back the money, you want to buy it with just this money." Eat it? Mr. Zhang Wu, don’t you think your appetite is too big?”
"Boy, the Fifth Master is giving you shame! How dare you talk to the Fifth Master like this!" A strong man immediately yelled angrily and rolled up his sleeves, as if he was about to take action.
But Sun Tu was not threatened at all and just stared at Zhang Chuan. The latter was stared at by his piercingly bright eyes, and felt a chill in his heart for no reason. Then he realized it and sneered: "It seems you don't want to do this deal with me anymore?"
"My father passed it on to me. No matter how unworthy I am, I won't dare to sell it." Sun Tu replied bluntly.
"Hey, I can't tell that you are still a filial son. Then I have to settle another account with you. Just because of your store, Heshunlou and I lost no less than fifty thousand dollars in a few days. If you propose a toast If you don’t want to eat, then drink this cup of fine wine and pay me fifty guan as compensation.”
What does it mean to be unreasonable? This is it. No one would ever let a competitor be responsible for their own losses, but Zhang Chuan said it was a matter of course, and everyone else nodded, looking deeply convinced.
Sun Tu laughed, this was their ultimate goal of coming today. After seeing him like this, Zhang Chuan and others also laughed more and more happily: "Now I give you two choices, either hand over the hotel and the recipe of your home wine, or..."
"What if I don't choose either?" Sun Tu narrowed his eyes and interrupted Zhang Chuan's words.
The atmosphere suddenly stiffened, and Zhang Chuan's face darkened even more. The old man with the leprosy - Hu had already shouted decisively: "Well, you, Sun Sanlang, are so brave. In our Yuncheng County, no one dares to reply to Master Zhang Wu like this. ! Don’t you want to know the consequences? I’ll tell you!” As he said that, he took a sudden step towards Ya’er who was frightened by the unexpected events in front of him. As soon as he reached out, he grabbed the little girl’s hand and pulled her to him. He said with a ferocious smile: "Not only you, but also this girl has to use her body to pay off the debt!" As he said, his other hand had already touched Ya'er's face.
Sun Tu really didn't expect that the other party would suddenly attack Ya'er. When he saw Ya'er's pitiful appearance about to cry after being held hostage, the anger in his heart suddenly rose. He immediately stepped in front of the old man Hu and shouted He said: "Release your claws!" His hand pinched Ya'er's wrist before he touched Ya'er's pretty face. With the sudden force, the old man Hu let out a cry of pain and subconsciously Di then let go of Ya'er's hand.
Sun Tu took the opportunity to pull Ya'er behind him, and then pushed hard with his hand, pushing the old man Hu staggered back, almost sitting on the ground, looking embarrassed.
All this happened so fast that the other people didn't come back to their senses until now. They immediately stood up and surrounded Sun Tu. Zhang Wuye also had an angry look on his face. In the past few years, no one has dared to show off his face like this. It seems that he has to do something today so that this ignorant boy in front of him can have a long memory! Thinking of this, he also stood up slowly, as if he was about to take action...
