Niuniu looked at him with disdain and said, "She also has to live, how can she live without paying for the show, how can she hire a band? I really don't have a common language with you...... , I'm telling you, it's good that you're my cousin, and if someone insults my idol like this, I'll beat you to death. ”

"Glad, glad, I can't imagine that being a relative of you can save my life. Meng Wentian joked.

At this time, a woman's voice sounded in front: "Niu Niu, see how you talk to your cousin?"

When Niuniu saw her mother coming out of the clothing store, she was embarrassed to spit out her little tongue at Meng Wentian, but still said: "Anyway, don't say bad things about my idol, Tan Yanyan is the god in my heart, and no one can say bad things about her." ”

Meng Wentian greeted his aunt with a smile: "Hello, auntie." I'm talking to Niu Niu and playing. ”

Auntie grabbed Meng Wentian's hand and asked, "It's hard to ride in the car, right? You're in your third year of high school, why do you have to listen to your mother's orders, Auntie, I'm fine here." ”

Meng Wentian said with a smile: "What do I have to work hard for? Auntie, your industry has expanded, of course I have to come to congratulate you." When the restaurant opens, my mom and dad will come. ”

My aunt smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if this hotel can be opened yet." Alas...... Do not say. Come, come, sit in my aunt's clothing store first. When I'm done cooking, we'll go to your uncle's to eat together. ”

Because he had just arrived, and the aunt didn't seem to want to talk about the hotel immediately, Meng Wentian didn't ask her what happened in the hotel, but followed the aunt into her clothing store, he knew that the aunt would take the initiative to say it after a while.

My aunt's family works hard all year round, and it is not easy to live.

When they first came to Jiangde City from Nanling County, they were in the business of selling small vegetables, because there was a manager in the vegetable market who was an acquaintance of their uncle. After making a little money in the vegetable market, and the acquaintance went to other places, and they couldn't make much money there, they set up a small hardware store, and they also got up early and got a little bit of hard-earned money.

After that, they rented a small store here on the pedestrian street to open a clothing store.

At the beginning of the pedestrian street, the business was still booming for a while, and the citizens came to the pedestrian street to take a stroll when they were fresh. My aunt's clothing store also made a lot of money, and the profit was quite high, far better than selling side dishes and opening a hardware store in the past.

However, the concept of the pedestrian street has been booming for two years, and then it has slowly slid towards the trough, and now the business profit is enough to pay rent, water and electricity, and their own food and housing, and there is basically not much left. Seeing that the business was getting worse day by day, the aunt's family was anxious: they thought they had found a safe way, but it was short-lived.

They had no choice but to look for other ways, and when they saw that Meng Zhixin had such a good business in opening a restaurant in the county, they were moved and wanted to open a distinctive restaurant.

At the beginning, they were still very timid, and they didn't dare to invest a lot, for fear that their hard-earned hard-earned money would be wasted, and it wasn't until Meng Wentian promised to help them solve most of their financial problems that they really started.

The clothing store is very small, so I asked a young girl to help sell the goods, and the rest are done by my aunt and uncle.

When Meng Wentian entered the clothing store, his aunt introduced him to the young female clerk, and after asking Niuniu to pour water for Meng Wentian to drink, she went back to their rented house to cook and cook without kicking.

There is no place for such a small storefront to cook on a fire here.

Meng Wentian chatted with Niuniu without saying a word, while paying attention to the business of the clothing store. But he sat here for more than ten minutes, and he didn't see a real customer come to the door. I only saw a couple of young people in love walk in and ask where there is a toilet: this business is really unusually bleak.

More than half an hour later, there were real customers coming to the door, but most of the customers who came in one after another were casual to look at and leave, some did not say a word, some asked the price perfunctorily, and left without bargaining, there was no desire to buy at all, and the female clerk didn't even bother to report the price, just squeezed out a professional smile to send them away.

It wasn't until the aunt came over with the food that a male customer bought a pair of swimming shorts. However, the male customer was refreshed, took the swimming shorts and looked at the price, and then paid for it and did not bargain.

put the female clerk's food on the counter, and the aunt instructed her a few words, and then took Meng Wentian and Niuniu to carry the lunch box and walked out of the pedestrian street together, and took a taxi to the restaurant that was being renovated.

The hotel is quite a bit away from the clothing store, in a small alley.

Because the alley is very narrow, trucks, buses and other things can't get in, at most taxis can get in. Because the time happened to be noon, there were many people who got off work, there were many bicycles on the road, and the taxis were going very slowly, so Meng Wentian just took advantage of this time to look at the situation here.

Although this alley is very old, and there are many small restaurants and shops around, Meng Wentian still thinks that it is good for his aunt to choose this place. Because he found that there was a lot of traffic here, there was a small school nearby, there was a large pharmacy at the corner of the street, and there was a meat factory at the other end of the alley, and the big billboard of the meat factory was not far from his aunt's restaurant. There are many workers dressed in meat factory clothes walking on the street, and many of these people go into the small restaurants on the side of the road to solve the problem of Chinese food.

Because of the road blockage in front, the taxi driver was reluctant to go any further, and it was only a few dozen meters away from the aunt's hotel, so the three of them got out of the car.

Meng Wentian snatched the big lunch box in his aunt's hand, looked at the crowd coming and going on the road, and said to her, "Auntie, the location here is good." There are so many people, the small restaurants here are all tattered, dirty and sloppy, and people go in to eat, as long as our restaurant is well decorated, as long as our food is not particularly unpalatable, I think my aunt's business will definitely not be bad. ”

Auntie smiled bitterly: "We thought so at first. Can...... But some people were angry, and we hadn't opened yet, so people came to the door and said that we had robbed them of their business. ”

Only then did Meng Wentian know what his aunt was worried about, and remembered that he had Huang Ziqi and Hua Yi here, and ordinary people were really not afraid of difficulties, so he smiled and asked, "Auntie, is someone threatening you?" Hehe, don't be afraid, I also have friends here." If those guys just say harsh things to you, forget it. But if they do something to stop you, I'll have my friends come in and get those guys back. ”

The aunt thought that Meng Wentian's friend was also the level of the gangster, and it was estimated that she had a relationship with the three poles of Nanling County before she met Meng Wentian, so she smiled bitterly: "People are the head snakes of the ground, and people outside can't fight them." Besides, if we really want to do business here, we will be neighbors with them in the future, how can neighbors tear their faces apart?"

Before Meng Wentian could speak, Niuniu said disapprerovingly: "Mom, I'll tell you, doing business depends on fair competition, what neighbors are not neighbors, they want to do a good job, they will figure it out themselves, if they really can't figure it out, they can also decorate the store and clean up the food." Look at these small restaurants, they are all stained and black, and those who have money want to eat in it, they don't have any appetite. I don't believe that we are serious about doing business, and what they can do to us. ”

Although Niuniu's words were somewhat naïve, Meng Wentian still followed her words and comforted her aunt: "Niuniu is right. Not to mention that I have acquaintances on the police side, but no, we are law-abiding, who can do anything to us?"

Hearing Meng Wentian say the word "police", the aunt couldn't help but be stunned, and was about to ask him how he had friends from the police, not wanting them to have walked into the hotel, and seeing them come in, a decorator who was seesawing inside greeted with a smile: "The boss lady is here?" The boss went out to buy something, and he will be back soon. ”

Meng Wentian, who has a good memory, immediately recognized the master sent from the provincial decoration company, called Liu Shaoliang, and greeted with a smile: "Hello Master Liu." ”

Liu Shaoliang didn't have such a good memory as Meng Wentian, but he had some vague impressions in his mind, plus he knew some of the social connections of the owner, so he quickly thought of something, but he was still not sure, after all, he had only met Meng Zhixin's hotel when he was decorating before, so he asked hesitantly: "Are you...... You're Young Master Meng, right?"

Meng Wentian smiled: "I'm Meng Wentian, not a young master." ”

Liu Shaoliang said with great admiration: "You are not a young master, then there are few people in this society who are young masters." Many young masters are not starting their own businesses, but they all receive money and property from their parents. …… Meng Zhixin is your brother, right? How is he doing boiled fish now?"

Meng Wentian smiled and said, "Thanks to Master Liu, their business is very good, and they can't be busy now." When do you pass by Nanling County, let them treat your guests, and invite you to have a good meal. A few of your masters have done a lot for him. ”

Liu Shaoliang said: "You still have the ability, according to your method, there is no one who does not make money." I'm sure that Boss Fan's restaurant will also have a prosperous business, and now we haven't finished decorating, and this grade has already begun. Every day, many people ask us when this place will open and want to come here for dinner. ”

Meng Wentian's uncle's surname is Fan, called Fan Jinkun, and his aunt has the same surname as Meng Wentian's mother.

When the aunt heard this, the sadness on her face decreased a lot, and she took his words and smiled: "Then I will borrow your auspicious words." When our business is on the road, we will go to the provincial capital and invite a few of you masters to come down and have a few glasses of wine. ”
