In my own store, I heard customers say that the food in my store is not delicious. Not only that, but also praised and praised the opponent's store. After I liked the store, I didn't say anything, but also praised the owner of the other party. Hearing this, Jia Xiaoren just Angry to death.
Originally, since the opening of Xiangmanyuan, the business has been good. Later, he found a way to dig three chefs from other stores, and the business was much better. In just two months, he earned the cost of opening the store. came back.
In the next six months, the business was prosperous, and he also successfully established contacts with the big and wealthy households in the city. At this time, the store was not enough, especially since there was only one lounge converted into a private room, and he lost many customers invisibly, so he wanted to build a bigger store.
He looked at the shop for more than a month, and later heard from a client that the teahouse at the intersection was no longer available. He hurried over to take a look. He was very satisfied with the shop and took the initiative to increase the rent.
I thought it was foolproof, but who would have thought that Yu Qingze, who opened a snack bar next door, had taken away the shop. I don't know what benefit Yu Qingze gave the teahouse owner, and he even rented the shop to him.
His plan was disrupted, and he never found such a satisfactory shop since then.
The most annoying thing is that Yu Qingze not only stole the shop, but also opened a restaurant. Since the opening day of Jufulou, the business of Xiangmanyuan began to decline, and all the former regular customers went to Jufulou.
In just one month, the number of customers in his restaurant has been decreasing day by day. Up to now, it is all supported by passing businessmen, and the regular customers are not very visible. Even if they come, they are like Mr. Liao and the others. There was no room at the Jufu Building, so I ran over.
The hateful thing is that although he was very angry when he heard the words of the head of the Yanjian Liliao, he still couldn't drive them out.
After going to the kitchen to arrange the dishes in the private room, Jia Xiaoren came to the table of the round-faced boss again.
"Uncle, how is the thing I asked you to do for me?" Jia Xiaoren asked in a low voice as soon as he sat down. He has endured it for a month, and he can't bear it any longer.
The round-faced boss heard the words, glanced at his son, and whispered: "I have already told the seafood and flour sellers, if they still want to buy from me, they will not dare to sell them to Yu Qingze."
When Jia Xiaoren heard this, his face softened, and then he warned: "Please be sure to look after them. Whether my restaurant can come back to life is up to you. Don't you know, since the restaurant at the intersection opened, the restaurant has been opened. All my customers have been robbed, and my business is getting worse day by day, and I can't make any money at all."
If Yu Qingze's snack bar runs out of good flour, it's up to him to see what he will do. If he uses inferior flour, customers will definitely be able to eat it. If it goes on, customers will be lost. On the other side of the restaurant, if there is no seafood, some customers who like to eat seafood will inevitably be lost. At that time, he will add a few seafood dishes...
Jia Xiaoren thought in his heart that he would soon be able to let Yu Qingze have a taste of the situation where he watched the loss of customers and was unable to recover, and a wordless pleasure surged in his heart.
Hearing this, the round-faced boss looked complicated. He looked at the table for a while, then raised his head and said, "Xiaoren, actually, yesterday..."
"Actually, after unloading the goods yesterday, we wanted to come over to my cousin." Seeing that his father wanted to talk about the fact that Yu Qingze bought flour from them yesterday evening, he quickly tore off his father's clothes under the table and forcibly turned it away. topic.
"Really?" Jia Xiaoren gave the two father and son a strange look.
The round-faced boss glanced at his son, then nodded and said, "Yeah, yesterday we unloaded the goods, and the owners of the grain and oil stores came to buy the goods. I specifically asked them, and they all said that Yu Qingze went to them yesterday, but they didn't sell it to him."
But we accidentally sold it to him. The round-faced boss secretly added a sentence in his heart, and he didn't say anything if his son didn't let him say it.
"It's so good. I'm sorry to trouble uncle." Jia Xiaoren nodded with satisfaction, with expectations in his heart, and his mood was better.
The father and son of the round-faced boss had lunch there and then went back.
After returning, Ah Chang said to his father: "Dad, you see, he blamed others for stealing his customers when his business was not good, and he didn't think of any way to improve his cooking skills. This restaurant originally relies on craftsmanship. , the chefs in his shop are not good, but the chefs in other restaurants are so good, what's the reason? He deserved it because he was robbed of business! He also used these villains' methods, hum, it's really his usual style !"
"Oh, okay, you've been nagging all the way, can I rest my ears?" The round-faced boss looked at his son helplessly, and sat down to drink a sip of tea. I don't know why my son hates his cousin so much.
When Achang saw his father's appearance, he got angry and said, "Father, I'm leaving the boat the day after tomorrow, and I tell you, if Boss Yu still comes to buy flour from us, you don't know him, and don't talk to the guys. Said that person was Boss Yu, you know?"
"Cough cough..." The round-faced boss heard his son's words, choked on the tea and coughed.
Achang hurriedly went to his father's back, and after a while, his father finally recovered.
"What did you say? I've been to a snack bar for dim sum, and I've met Boss Yu several times. Your cousin also knows that I know him, so how can you pretend that you don't?" The round-faced boss said speechlessly.
Achang replied: "Then if you see him coming, just avoid him. Anyway, don't stop him from coming to buy flour. You think, we didn't see it. The guys don't know Boss Yu, so if you sell it, let's sell it. The goods are also sold out. We don’t know the situation, and my cousin can’t say anything, right? Can he still stay in our warehouse every day?”
The round-faced boss looked at his son in shock before asking, "Does this work?"
"It works! Besides, let him find a way to go to his own restaurant, and let us be the first bird and give him a back. What's the matter?"
"..." The round-faced boss thought for a moment in silence, and then asked again, "What if he stumbles us? He will hold revenge."
Achang thought about it for a while, but also a little uncertain: "His forces are all on the other side of the river, so he can't come to us, right?"
The round-faced boss shook his head and said, "Then I don't know. Anyway, you know some of his methods."
Achang was silent for a while, and then asked his father: "Dad, do you think Jia Xiaoren is more terrible, or Cai's Zhao's house is more terrible? We are in Tongshan, don't forget."
The round-faced boss paused for a moment and said to him, "At least the Cai Mansion and the Zhao Mansion won't make any tricks."
Achang was very speechless, "People can drive us out of Tongshan without using a trick."
Round-faced boss: …
"So, Dad, think about it clearly, this is Tongshan. No matter how capable he Jia Xiaoren is, can he endure the Cai Mansion and Zhao Mansion? Don't be on the wrong team, and we will give him Jia Xiaoren's funeral. ."
The round-faced boss stopped talking. After a while, he sighed and said, "It's easy for you to think, let's not talk about it here, have you ever thought about your little uncle? If we don't help him Jia Xiaoren, he will look back. You can sue your uncle and his grandfather, saying that if we turn our elbows out, how will your little uncle stay in that house in the future?"
Achang snorted and said, "My uncle is also responsible for his own responsibility. It's obvious that he and his uncle didn't discipline his son so well. Dad, do you remember, when my cousin was only twelve or thirteen years old, he accidentally The classmate who bumped him couldn't get out of bed. That classmate apologized to him, and he beat him without saying a word. That's it, the uncle and uncle not only didn't scold him, but also excused him, saying it was that The classmates were wrong and deliberately bumped into people. I was a guest at his house at that time, and I saw him molesting a little brother and touching the little brother's chest. You don't teach the father's fault, do you think the little uncle and the others are also wrong? "
"Okay, it's not your turn to tell if your little uncle and the others are at fault. Go and go, the day after tomorrow, you will be going out again. Take care of your husband and son." The round-faced boss waved.
Achang stood up, and worriedly told his father: "You remember my words, I will tell him when my second son comes back tomorrow. By the way, if Boss Yu buys seafood when he comes back tomorrow, don't stop him. We have to stay in Tongshan for a long time, and we have to make up for it as much as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to do in the future."
"It's alright, alright, I get it, go away, you're so annoying." The round-faced boss waved his hand away.
Seeing his father agreed, Achang got up and went back to his small yard. He doesn't spend much time at home every month. If his father forcibly dragged him to Xiangmanyuan today, he wouldn't go there. It would be great to be at home with his husband and son.
In the evening, in a house in the east of the city, the accountant handed over a book of accounts to Jia Xiaoren.
"Eldest young master, this is the restaurant's account book from last month. It's already been calculated."
Jia Xiaoren took it and turned it over, glanced at the latest page, and turned to the front again to find the records of the previous month and the previous month, and his face suddenly darkened.
"So much less?"
The accountant nodded and said, "In September, it was a little less than in August, and it was half less in October."
Jia Xiaoren held the ledger and looked at the number in the ledger, which was missing half, and was so angry that he almost gnawed his back teeth.
In September, Jufu Building closed a few days after opening and went home to harvest, and the impact was not great. This October, they have opened for the whole month, and the impact can be seen at a glance.
Although it is usually obvious that there are fewer guests, but when he sees that there is less money in the account book, Jia Xiaoren's feeling is even stronger.
"I see, you can go down." Jia Xiaoren waved back the accountant and walked around in the study irritably to find a way.
After a while, there was a knock on the study door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and Jia Xiaoren's husband came in with a bowl for supper.
"Husband, I made lotus seed porridge, drink some when you're hungry." Jia Fulang put the dinner plate in the upper left corner of the desk, and then sorted out the messy books on the desk for him.
"Understood." Jia Xiaoren replied lightly.
At this time, Shi Sheng also came over with a dinner plate. When he saw Jia Fulang, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Oh, Brother Lian is here. Husband, are you hungry? I made some snacks for you. Come and try it."
Shi Sheng put his dinner plate on the right side of the desk, pulled Jia Xiaoren, reached out and took a red bean cake and fed it to Jia Xiaoren's mouth, and asked after him, "Husband, how does it taste?"
Jia Xiaoren swallowed the red bean cake in his mouth, nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Yeah, I also think it tastes much better than the one I made before."
Then, Shi Sheng fed Jia Xiaoren bite by bite and finished eating the snack. Then, when he was about to take it again, he glanced at the other side of the desk, and then pretended to see another plate on the table. He said: "Hey, is this what Brother Lian made? It smells so good, I want to eat it. But Brother Lian, don't make porridge next time. The weather is cold. It's still cold at night."
Jia Fulang frowned at the red bean cake and said, "Husband, it's not easy to digest snacks at night..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shi Sheng suddenly covered his stomach and screamed, "Ouch—"
Jia Xiaoren quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Sheng touched his still-not-so-obvious belly and smiled at Jia Xiaoren Jiao: "It's alright, just now the baby kicked me a little bit, and it hurt a little."
Jiafu Lang: … A three-month-old fetus can 'kick' you anywhere.
"Sit down." Jia Xiaoren hurriedly helped Shi Sheng to sit on the chair, and gave him a soft pillow to lean against.
Shi Sheng enjoyed Jia Xiaoren's service, secretly glanced at Jia Fulang's expression, was secretly happy, and said, "Husband, I'm afraid the baby will make trouble with me at night. Would you sleep with me?"
Jia Xiaoren nodded and said, "Okay."
"It's getting late, so let's go back to our room, shall we?"
"Okay." Jia Xiaoren helped Shi Sheng up, and then said to Jia Furang, "It's getting late, husband, you should go back to your room to rest early."
After saying that, he helped Shi Sheng away.
Jia Fulang looked at the backs of the two, and his soft eyebrows flashed a hint of loss.
After returning to the room, Shi Sheng undressed Jia Xiaoren and asked, "Husband, I just saw your frowning, but are you worried about the restaurant?"
Jia Xiaoren nodded and said, "After Jufu Lou opened, the restaurant's business has declined a lot. Last month's revenue was much lower than it was in August."
Shi Sheng's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and then he asked, "Have you thought of a good solution?"
Jia Xiaoren turned around, nodded and said, "I thought about it, but it will take a few days to see the effect."
"What's the way?"
"Why, Sheng'er wants to share the worries for her husband?"
Shi Sheng nodded and said, "I'm worried about you staying up so late."
Jia Xiaoren smiled, stretched out his hand to touch Shi Sheng's abdomen, and said, "No need to worry about Sheng Er, your most important task now is to have a good miscarriage and give me a strong little man."
Shi Sheng smiled charmingly and put his head in Jia Xiaoren's arms.
After a while, he pulled Jia Xiaoren to sit on the bed, took off the hair crown for him, and said, "Husband, you don't need to worry so much, if you are in the food business, if you don't know what to do, something will happen to you. If there is a quarrel, a fight, etc., some cockroaches, mosquitoes, etc. are eaten, the word of mouth is bad, and there will naturally be fewer customers, and the business will not work again."
Hearing this, Jia Xiaoren pulled Shi Sheng's hand down and said, "Sheng'er is worthy of being a little think tank for her husband, don't worry, I have already taken action. After a few days, I will tell you the good news."
Shi Sheng was very curious, and said coquettishly, "Husband is making people's appetite again, they can't wait, you should tell them quickly..."
Jia Xiaoren was so elated that he told him the matter.
When Shi Sheng heard this, he immediately said: "Husband, you are so smart! Sheng'er could never have thought of such a coup.
Jia Xiaoren was photographed flutteringly, and smiled: "I have been in business for more than ten years for my husband. What kind of person has never been seen? He Yu Qingze wants to oppose me, and he is still a little tender."
"Yes, my husband is the most powerful!" Shi Sheng quickly chased after him and flattered.
Jia Xiaoren enjoyed his little husband's admiration for him very much, and he said in a good mood: "Okay, come up and rest, it's getting late."
"Okay, I want my husband to hold him to sleep."
"Go, go, go."
When Jia Xiaoren and Shi Sheng were still dreaming of Yu Ji closing their doors, the next day just dawned, and Yu Qingze took Da Song and dragged two large wooden basins to the pier to buy seafood.
