Chapter XXVII
Yingluo nodded, which made her a little sad, it was her father who trusted Hua Tianxiong too much, but she didn't know that if people died, it would be just a piece of loess, and it would be useless for Huarong's interests, if she wanted Huarong to keep going, she had to think of another way.
Hua Tingfeng continued, "Why don't you find another supplier for Brother Yu?" Hearing this, Yingluo looked up at him, it was hard to believe that this was said from Hua Tingfeng, how could there be a reason to push his own business out, but he also understood what he said, but his father couldn't pass the level, his father is a person who values love and righteousness, so I am afraid that the relationship between Hua Tianxiong and Yuchifeng will be ruined.
Hua Tingfeng naturally knew what Yingluo was thinking, but said slowly, "The old man has not been in good health recently, and the third brother is in charge, so it seems that Brother Yu will not be long." ”
Yingluo was silent again for a while, and then spoke, "Second Master Xie reminds. Although there is no actual action, but where the interests of both parties lie, presumably Hua Tingfeng at least said the truth. Yingluo said to Zichai outside the door, "Let Shopkeeper Cui come up." He answered yes outside the door, and only the footsteps of the downstairs were heard.
After a while, Shopkeeper Cui pushed the door in, looked at Yingluo and saluted, and shouted, "Young master." Yingluo nodded, and asked the shopkeeper Cui about what she had ordered when she left.
Cui shopkeeper took out the account book in his arms and gave it to Yingluo, Yingluo roughly flipped twice, and then the performance in recent days was clear at a glance, although because of the opening of the new store over there, they had a lot less business here, but because of the silk that was taken down from the third floor, it ushered in a lot of customers, in short, it was much better than when the new store first opened.
Yingluo closed the ledger and asked, "How is the situation over there?" The shopkeeper replied, "I have sent insiders to see a few times, the store is really not small, only two floors, after entering the door, there are some clear Tibetan pavilions on the three walls facing you, and there are all kinds of silk cloth in the Tibetan pavilion, and there are silk samples in the lattice in front of each lattice, which is a lot less trouble." And there is no counter in the store, and there are tables and stools in the middle, with tea on them. There are a few girls in the store, and if there are customers who come to the girls, they will greet them and choose suitable silk samples for them. ”
Cui shopkeeper said, Yingluo's brows have not been relaxed, the owner of the store is very smart, which not only saves space, but also reduces manpower to move, and is very convenient for people to choose, after Cui shopkeeper finished speaking, Yingluo asked, "What about the second floor?" Shopkeeper Cui shook his head, "Ordinary people are not allowed to go up to the second floor." Yingluo nodded and ordered the shopkeeper Cui to go down.
And Hua Tingfeng, who was sitting on the side, asked, "Where did you open another store?" Yingluo nodded, sighed, and said, "Well, a new store has opened not far from Huarong, and there are many people who go to patronize it." This robbed them of their business, but the people behind the scenes couldn't inquire about it.
"Presumably, Brother Yu has been busy during this time." Hua Tingfeng on the side said with a smile, the tone was more gloating, Yingluo just glanced at him, and didn't refute anything, during this time, she was busy, and then she said, "The second son will rest here first, wait for a while." And Hua Tingfeng nodded quite understandingly, he was really curious about how Yingluo would deal with it.
Yingluo went downstairs and saw that the two little guys in the store were sagging and unenergetic, so she couldn't help frowning, if the guests came, I was afraid that they would be in no mood. Yingluo walked to the front of the counter and said to the shopkeeper Cui, "You come with me." Shopkeeper Cui nodded, and hurriedly came out of the counter and followed Yingluo.
Yingluo looked at the first floor, the counter was surrounded by three walls, and the silk on the wall was blocked by the counter, which inevitably made the guests a little inconvenient. Yingluo turned to Shopkeeper Cui and said, "How are the children of Shopkeeper Cui?" Have you ever had to worry about food and clothing? "Shopkeeper Cui is now forty or fifty years old, and at such an age, I am afraid that I have grandchildren.
Although the shopkeeper Cui was a little puzzled, he still replied, "Thanks to the blessing of the old man and the young master, the children are all good, and the food and clothing are already worry-free." Yingluo nodded, and then said, "Does Shopkeeper Cui still have something to ask for?" The shopkeeper Cui replied again, "The little one is already half buried in the loess, and he has nothing else to ask for, but to hope that his children and grandchildren are well." ”
Yingluo nodded, didn't ask any more questions, just said, "Now the business in the store is not as good as before, I read that the shopkeeper Cui is an old man who follows his father, but I don't want to say anything to hurt face, and now the shopkeeper Cui should also know in his heart that since the opening of someone else's store, there is a lot less business in our store, and the shopkeeper Cui is now more than willing to do it." Speaking of this, Yingluo looked at the shopkeeper Cui beside her, and the shopkeeper Cui already understood what Yingluo meant, and was silent for a while, and her voice was a little trembling, "The master's kindness of knowing the encounter, the small one is toothless and unforgettable, and it all depends on the young master's arrangement." The shopkeeper Cui is also a very honest person, and he didn't complain about Yingluo, Yingluo only shook his head, an honest person, not a material for doing business.
Yingluo continued: "I also understand Shopkeeper Cui, Shopkeeper Cui also knows that Huarong's status in the Yu family is the top priority, you are old, and it is inevitable that you will not be able to do something to fight with others." In this way, you and Hanashio's steward will be replaced, and the monthly rules will be the same as these, and it will be easier. Although she transferred the shopkeeper Cui to a lower-class store, she did not treat him badly, which is also a good solution.
Shopkeeper Cui's heart was also relieved, he couldn't understand Yingluo's temperament, for fear of dismissing him. In this way, my burden is much lighter. Thinking about it, Shopkeeper Cui looked up at Yingluo with some gratitude, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a lot less. "Thank you, young master."
Yingluo just nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Cui will pack up your things first, and I'll take you to Huaxiao in a while." Shopkeeper Cui nodded and went down. Yingluo didn't stay long, so she went upstairs.
When Yingluo arrived at the private room on the second floor, Zichai outside the door helped her push the door open, and saw that Hua Tingfeng was still sitting on a stool in the house, and Shiyan and Mo Xuan were standing in front of him. Yingluo didn't say anything, just took two steps forward and said, "Second son, do you want to go back to the inn first?" ”
Hua Tingfeng didn't appreciate it, "Brother Yu, this is not authentic, I have been with you for so long, you are good, just throw me down." Yingluo didn't care, and she didn't bother to entangle with him, "If the second son is willing, you can accompany me on a trip." ”
Hua Tingfeng didn't refuse, stood up and smiled slightly, "I'm naturally willing." ”
