"Shopkeeper Sun, how is this good?"

In an ordinary restaurant in Qingshan Town, several middle-aged men gathered together and discussed countermeasures with sad faces.

About Tenfuku's countermeasures.

"Shopkeeper Hu, didn't you send a guy to ask about the situation, what's the matter, the conditions given by Tianfu are not your favor?"

A man in a brown-gray fur coat said, with a mocking look on his face.

The shopkeeper Hu who was stopped by him was the one who was in a hurry to ask for advice at the beginning, and his face instantly became embarrassed when he was stiffened by his words.

Clearing his throat, Shopkeeper Hu said, "Shopkeeper Tan, I'm not ...... Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, can you not be defeated in a hundred battles?! ”

Shopkeeper Tan sneered and was about to speak, when the middle-aged man in a pale golden robe next to him said, "Okay, let's talk about what to do!" ”

"Do you really want to cooperate with Tianfu?"

The man in the pale golden robe asked lightly, his eyes swept over the faces of the dozen or so men present one by one, making them all bow their heads involuntarily.

With a sneer in his heart, the man in the pale golden robe asked Shopkeeper Hu, "Shopkeeper Hu, what did your guy say when he came back?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu replied with a smile: "The guy said that Tianfu's attitude is that they will provide all the base soup, and they will also conduct some training for the stores who are willing to cooperate, and teach some dishes that can be made in the base soup...... The requirement is that Tianfu should receive two dividends from the sale of the soup. ”

The man in the pale golden robe tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "What about ...... I think it can still be done. ”

"What?!"

More than a dozen shopkeepers in the room all looked at him in surprise in an instant, incredible.

Obviously, everyone is here to discuss, how to refuse this matter......

"Shopkeeper Sun, what are you talking about...... What is the meaning?! ”

Sun Ji smiled faintly and said, "Think about it, Tianfu just said that he wanted two points of profit, but how could he know about our business?" It's not up to you to decide how much to give. ”

Everyone was stunned, and Shopkeeper Hu was the first to react, clapping his hands and laughing: "Okay!" Good! Or the shopkeeper Sun has the most way! Isn't that what you're talking about?! Could it be that he can still come? Check my ledger?! ”

Shopkeeper Tan, who was fighting with Shopkeeper Hu at the beginning, stood silently aside, and said loudly at this moment: "Shopkeeper Sun, is Tianfu so stupid." Didn't you think we'd do it? ”

Shopkeeper Sun smiled contemptuously, his face full of disapproval, "What role can the little ladies of Tianfu have to do, they are the benevolence of dead women, and they have no foresight." Otherwise, why would you sell this hot pot soup base well?! ”

"Isn't that sick what is?!"

A group of men laughed, and Shopkeeper Sun stood up and smiled proudly: "Go!" Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to have a free meal here today to celebrate us, and business is even more prosperous! ”

"Yes, yes! Walk! Drink and go! ”

The restaurant, which was originally very deserted, has become a little lively with this group of people.

It's the atmosphere of the festival. But in another restaurant on a deserted street, it was frosty.

"Useless stuff! Get out of here! Get out of here! ”

The shopkeeper who was so angry that his chest fluctuated violently, stared at the aggrieved Cai Ming with his eyes, and wanted to eat him alive.

"The shopkeeper's ...... Isn't that good news...... There is a problem with the formula we have worked so hard to get, but now, Tianfu takes the initiative to sell the formula, isn't this the result we want? ”

Cai Ming feels that his life is like a coffee table full of cups of all sizes.

Since I was forced by the shopkeeper to get the hot pot recipe that day, I just can't eat. I can't sleep, I finally found a way, and I enjoyed the beauty by the way, so don't be too happy!

It's a pity, it's a pity. Things were accidentally messed up, and the half bowl of base material that day was brought back, and the medicinal material formula in it could only be recognized, which made the shopkeeper a little dissatisfied, and it was not until he tried it for a long time that he found this formula. It was wrong!

At this time, his hard life really came.

The little beauty ran away, her job was about to be lost, and she didn't have any silver taels on her body, how would she live?!

At this moment, the news that Tianfu was going to sell the hot pot soup, he was overjoyed, thinking that God was helping him, and happily rolled back to report to his boss, who knows, the boss listened, his face turned blue, and he began to get angry.

Then he hit the muzzle of the gun.

Why is he so unlucky...... Silent lasagna tears.

The shopkeeper's face turned white and red, red and blue, just like the dye vat, which made Cai Ming shrink his neck.

The murderous aura is too strong, and it has to be guarded against.

"You pig's head, if you had gotten the right hot pot recipe, we would have made a lot of money a long time ago! Tell me about you, forget it if the thing doesn't work out, you still startle the snake and let the family know! Are you full of tofu scum in your head?! ”

"Now in order to prevent us from getting bigger, people take the initiative to let out the bottom soup, and everyone is selling, so let's still make a fart of money?!"

"Not to mention, we don't have a recipe yet!!"

The shopkeeper's scolding spat flew, Cai Ming lowered his head and wept silently, and a cavity of blood and tears broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.

"That'...... Shopkeeper, what now? Shall we go with ...... Tianfu cooperation, ah......"

Summoning up his courage, Cai Ming lowered his head and asked weakly.

I didn't dare to look up, for fear of being splashed with saliva.

The shopkeeper's face was very ugly, and Tie Qing was blue for a long time before he slowly eased up, and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, let's cooperate with Tianfu!" There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it. ”

The shopkeeper who sighed in resignation, shook his head in abandonment, and walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving Cai Ming with a confused face, not knowing whether he had been fired or not.

When the shopkeeper came, he found that there was a long queue, and people who didn't know the inside story thought that they were here for dinner.

It is impossible to say in my heart that it is not sour, so the shopkeeper secretly pouted, lined up honestly, and by the way, drove away those who wanted to cut in line with everyone.

After all, people say that first come, first served, and later, but there is no chance.

For this, countless small restaurants in the town wanted to come and get a piece of the pie, thinking that Tianfu wanted to teach dishes anyway, and they didn't lose at all. It's good to try it too, what if you make money?!

With such a mentality, the queue is getting longer and longer.

Enter through the back door to discuss, and leave through the front door. So no one knows what the conversation is in it.

Finally, after waiting for a long time, it was the shopkeeper's turn to go in, probably because of a weak heart. Anyway, when he went in, his nervous heart was going to jump out.

Xia Mei rubbed her hard neck, stretched her waist, and sighed: "How many people, how long will it take......"

Wen Xi, who was busy and idle, heard her master's complaint, and couldn't help covering her mouth and sneering.

That's what she's looking for.

When the shopkeeper came in, he looked at Xia Mei with an unhappy face, and Wen Xi with his back to him.

There was a sigh in my heart for no reason, and the pace under my feet unconsciously slowed down a lot.

Xia Mei was depressed for a moment, and looked up at a man with a small beard in gray. "Lewd" slowly approached, stunned for a moment, and then said with a formulaic smile: "Shopkeeper, please sit, Wenxi, serve tea." ”

Wen Xi hurriedly packed up his feelings, turned around and went down to pour tea.

The gray-clad shopkeeper coughed a few times, as if he was bold, and sat down heavily on the chair in front of him. There was a muffled "bang".

Xia Mei: "......" Does this person have a grudge against her chair?!

With an embarrassed smile, the man smiled and said coldly: "Mrs. Xia, I'm here to talk about hot pot." ”

Xia Mei nodded, and Wen Xi came up to serve tea. He motioned to the other party to drink slowly, talking while drinking.

When the other party just took a sip of tea, Xia Mei said, "How do you call this shopkeeper?" ”

Meng Yuan was choked at once and coughed violently.

Isn't it, he sees the woman across from him as an opponent. But people don't even know what his name is, can they not be aggrieved?!

Finally relieved the breath in his heart, and when he looked up, the innocent eyes of the woman opposite, Meng Yuan was so angry that his mustache fluttered.

Xia Mei thinks that the person in front of her is sick, why does he keep hating herself, does he have an enmity with herself?!

If you don't want to, don't come! What's the deal with her?!

So Xia Mei was not very happy in her heart, and her tone of voice was unconsciously tougher.

slapped the contract in front of the other party, and said coldly: "This shopkeeper, this is the contract, you can take a look, there is no problem, just press the handprint." ”

Meng Yuan was silent for a moment, and said with some frustration: "Meng, my surname is Meng." ”

Xia Mei glanced at him sideways and said perfunctorily: "Shopkeeper Meng, please take a look." ”

Meng Yuan began to read this contract, and at the beginning, it was all some official words, which could be skipped directly, swept by ten lines at a glance, and stayed directly in the place where the profits were divided.

"No, Mrs. Xia, it is written in your contract that my shop can only receive a limited amount of base soup a month, what's going on? Still want to register? ”

Xia Mei glanced at him lazily, and said angrily: "Shopkeeper Meng, aren't you joking?!" I'm not a fool, let you have no limit, you can have as much as you want, even if you sell out, I can't make so many soups here! ”

"As for registration, it's to have a bottom limit, if your business is not good, I can't lose money!"

Seeing that Meng Yuan still had an inexplicable expression, Xia Mei said helplessly: "Let's take an analogy, that is, this month you received ten buckets of bottom soup from me, and I want two cents of your profits, then in a month, at least you have to pay me a hundred taels of silver, if it is less than a hundred taels, then you will pay according to the price of ten taels of bottom soup." ”

After these words, Meng Yuan's fingers trembled with anger.

"You! You're not! Do you know how to cheat?! I can't sell it, and I'm going to lose money to you?! Ten taels in a bucket?! Why don't you grab it! ”

Xia Mei's face became more and more unkind, and she said coldly: "Since Shopkeeper Meng doesn't want to cooperate with me Tianfu, then the door is behind him, and I won't send it far." ”

"You!"

Meng Yuan was so choked that he almost didn't mention it in one breath, will this woman talk about business?! How can anyone else just return the price and drive people away without hesitation?!

Although he also knew that the other party's request was reasonable, he didn't want to admit it lightly.

After calming down, Meng Yuan said in a good voice: "Mrs. Xia, the location of my small shop is really not very good, I'm afraid it won't be able to sell the price you want, so you see, this low price, can it be lowered a little?" ”

The other party's tone softened, Xia Mei's face looked a little better, and she patiently explained: "Shopkeeper Meng, you should know that our hot pot, if you sell it yourself, it is definitely not worth the price, our hot pot is a few taels of silver, and this bucket of soup can make more than a dozen pots of hot pot, ten taels is really a loss." ”

"If it weren't for our shopkeeper's explanation, we wouldn't have cut off everyone's back road, I would never have sold this soup, let's speak with our conscience, who else in this world is willing to share the silver in their purse with others without asking for anything?!"

"I'm kind enough to help you, and you can't let me lose all my money!"

Meng Yuan gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "But Mrs. Xia, my small shop is in the west of the town, where there are no customers on weekdays, and this hot pot can't sell so much at all!" ”

Xia Mei continued to explain: "As I said, this soup can only be sold as hot pot, your store is located in a remote area, you can sell a small bowl of spicy tang that is easy to carry, everyone can eat it, and it is not expensive, so you can earn more than your hot pot!" ”

Meng Yuan's eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Xia, what do you mean by this?" What's going on with Malatang?! ”

Xia Mei glanced at her, "Isn't Shopkeeper Meng confused?" If you want to sign the contract, sign it when you think about it, and if you don't want to get up, let the people behind you come in. ”

Meng Yuan had just found a little hope at the moment, how could he give up, his heart was itching, so he could only ask in a low voice: "Mrs. Xia, I will sign, I will sign, and ask Mrs. Xia to tell the truth about the method." ”

A hint of triumphant smile flashed in Xia Mei's eyes, and in a blink of an eye, she returned to normal, and her face softened slightly: "Shopkeeper Meng doesn't have to worry too much, then I will let my apprentice follow you to see the location, and then according to your situation, I will make a plan for you." ”

Although Xia Mei didn't understand what she said, she still knew the general meaning, Meng Yuan showed a smile on his face, he used so many methods before, and he wanted to get the recipe for the hot pot, wasn't it just to improve the business in the store?

At the moment, Xia Mei was willing to help, but she really couldn't ask for a good opportunity, so Meng Yuan thanked her again and again, signed the contract very happily, and left from the front door satisfied.

Xia Mei put away the contract and shouted without raising her head: "Next!" ”

…………

Meng Yuan, who had solved the matter, hummed a song and returned to his shop, and when he saw Cai Ming's flattering little face, his good mood suddenly disappeared.

"This kid messed up and didn't say anything, and was discovered by Tianfu, if Tianfu's people saw him here, wouldn't it be a bad thing?!"

Some gloomy eyes swept over Cai Ming's stiff smiling face, and Meng Yuan said expressionlessly: "Cai Ming, go and get your salary, pack your things and go, I don't need you anymore!" ”

Cai Ming's smiling face stepped over, and he looked at the back of the departing shopkeeper in despair.
