Chapter 21: The Chef of Xinghualou
Frightened by Li Yuan's words, Niu Guoqiang hurriedly asked cautiously, "What else do you command?" ”
"You can all go...... Li Yuan glanced at Niu Guoqiang seriously, and then quickly changed to a smiling face and said: "But I have to pay the money for the two tomatoes just now, a total of four yuan and five, thank you!" ”
"Huh?!" Niu Guoqiang and the others were not very accustomed to Li Yuan's style changing so quickly, and they were stunned for a while. However, Niu Guoqiang quickly came to his senses, and hurriedly took out a ten-yuan bill from his pocket, respectfully handed it to Li Yuan, and was about to leave.
However, Li Yuan stopped Niu Guoqiang again and gave him five yuan and five yuan in change.
Niu Guoqiang was a little puzzled, looked at the money in his hand and asked tentatively: "This is ......?"
"It's looking for your money." Li Yuan said as a matter of course: "I am a well-behaved businessman, I will not ask for any money that should not be made, and I will not bully and dominate the market like you." ”
"Yes, yes, you're right." Niu Guoqiang naturally said yes again and again, and then left with his accomplices in a gloomy manner.
As soon as Niu Guoqiang and the others left, those people around who were watching the excitement immediately rushed up and continued to buy Li Yuan's tomatoes. Everyone had heard what Li Yuan said before, so the enthusiasm for buying was even higher than before. After all, everyone likes to do business with businessmen who are in order, so it is not easy to lose.
Li Yuan was naturally busier than before, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart while taking care of the guests: "Five yuan can change a good reputation, it's worth it!" ”
Niu Guoqiang and the others walked out of a distance, looking at Li Yuan, who was surrounded by customers, with heavy expressions. Niu Guoqiang looked even more gloomy, and what happened just now made him very embarrassed. Especially in the eyes of so many people, Niu Guoqiang is worried that other "competitors" will follow suit in the future and no longer take himself seriously.
Just when Niu Guoqiang was depressed, one of his accomplices came up and whispered: "Brother Niu, we can't cure that kid, Lao Wang can!" It's been so long that I've been offering him good food and drink, and now it's time to put it in handy! ”
This guy's words lifted Niu Guoqiang's spirits, and he hurriedly said to the others: "Yes, let's go find Lao Wang and go!" ”
Of course, Li Yuan didn't know that Niu Guoqiang actually moved the rescuers, and he was still dealing with enthusiastic customers. This time, the sales of tomatoes were faster, and in less than an hour, more than 300 catties of tomatoes were almost sold.
At this time, a middle-aged man came to Li Yuan and said loudly: "Young man, I have all these tomatoes left!" ”
These words also made Li Yuan a little surprised, you must know that there are more than 50 catties of tomatoes on the tricycle, and the tone of this middle-aged man is not small. Although tomatoes are delicious, they are not a necessity after all, and the price is really not cheap. It's okay to buy three or five catties and go back to try it, but buy more than fifty catties and go back to eat as a meal?
So Li Yuan stopped what he was doing, looked up at the middle-aged man and said, "Friend, are you sure you want to buy so much?" ”
"That's right, I want them all." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You sell three yuan a pound now, right?" I'll give you five pieces and sell them all to me." ”
The middle-aged man took out the money while talking, and urged Li Yuan: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and weigh the next amount!" ”
At this time, the first aunt who bought Li Yuan's tomatoes also came, and introduced the middle-aged man to him with a smile: "Young man, he is my son, he is a chef in Xinghualou, and fifty catties of tomatoes are enough for a day in their hotel, not joking with you!" ”
The middle-aged man also smiled and said to Li Yuan: "Little brother, my name is Liu Yuebing, and I work in the kitchen of Xinghualou. Speaking of which, your tomatoes are amazing. I was stunned when I tasted your tomatoes, I didn't know there were tomatoes in the world that tasted so good! Since you're here again this time, of course I'm going to buy some for the hotel kitchen! ”
Liu Yuebing really didn't lie to Li Yuan, he was indeed the chef of Xinghualou. Last time, Liu Yuebing's mother bought Li Yuan's tomatoes, and he immediately fell for them after tasting them.
As an experienced chef, Liu Yuebing is very optimistic about this kind of tomatoes that sell well and taste even better, and he wants to use them in his own dishes. That's why he told his mother that if he saw Li Yuan selling tomatoes again, he must inform him immediately.
Today, Liu Yuebing's mother saw Li Yuan again and immediately called her son, who also came in a hurry. However, Li Yuan's tomatoes were so popular that when Liu Yuebing arrived, there were only about fifty catties left, so he immediately claimed that he had bought them all, and he took the initiative to raise the price.
After making sure that Liu Yuebing was not joking with himself, Li Yuan would certainly not refuse his proposal. After reassuring the other customers who didn't get the tomatoes, Li Yuan weighed the remaining tomatoes neatly, and said to Liu Yuebing with a smile: "Mr. Liu, it's forty-eight catties in total, even if it's forty!" ”
"Don't call me Mr. Liu, I'm a rough person, it sounds awkward for others to call me Mr.!" Liu Yuebing said with a smile: "I'm a few years older than you, if you can afford me, call me Brother Liu." ”
Since Liu Yuebing said so, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Liu, then I'm welcome." ”
"Well, that's a good thing to listen to." Liu Yuebing was very satisfied with Li Yuan's name, but soon frowned and said, "But with so many tomatoes, it's not easy for me to get them back to the hotel......
Li Yuan has always been very clever, and immediately continued: "What's so difficult about this, I'll send you directly to Deyue Tower!" ”
Seeing that Li Yuan was so willing to help, Liu Yuebing had a smile on his face even more, and said a little embarrassedly: "This ...... It's too much trouble for you, isn't it? ”
"It's okay, it's not too far away anyway, and I'm young, so it's not a problem at all." Li Yuan said politely, and planned to ride the tomatoes to Deyue Tower.
However, at this time, Niu Guoqiang and others, who had just left, came back. Unlike last time, they were surrounded by the red armbands that collected management fees, and they all had a high-spirited expression on their faces, and they looked like they were looking for trouble.
The red armband, which was surrounded by everyone, looked like "Lao Tzu is the first in the world", and came to Li Yuan's three rounds and said coldly: "How did you do it?" Why make trouble in the market? You still dare to hit someone, it's against you! ”
Li Yuan knew as soon as he saw this formation that the red armbands were here to support Niu Guoqiang and others. Since this is the case, he will not be polite to the guy, and immediately said coldly: "Please clarify the matter first, obviously they came to hinder my business first, I just stopped them from making trouble." Why did I come to you and I beat people, and this group of people is not wrong at all? ”
The red armband didn't listen to Li Yuan's words at all, but glared at him and said: "This market boss has the final say, don't chirp with me, saying that if you beat someone, you will beat someone!" Get out of here with your belongings now, and you won't be allowed to do business again!" ”
