Chapter Ninety-Five: Fluctuations, Weaknesses

Su Miao was choked and coughed!

"You can choke on tea, can you drink water, I'll pour you a cup?" Aftertaste was not ashamed at all because of the frivolous words he had said before, Yun said lightly, took the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it over.

Su Miao put her hands on the table, raised her head, stared at him with a flushed face, the green tendons on her forehead were jumping happily, she gritted her teeth and said word by word:

"Who wants you to get into trouble! Lecher! ”

"It's too much to scold people suddenly, I'm just joking to ease your sad mood." Aftertaste said with a pure face, completely in a tone that did a good deed but was not understood, paused, looked at her face flushed with coughing, and asked with a smile, "Are you serious?" ”

Su Miao's face became more and more red, and she was being played around like a fool, which made her feel very unhappy, and she was even more unhappy in the face of such a man who could say frivolous words with a flat expression. Annoyed, she didn't take his cup, but poured the hot tea in her hand in one go. Seeing this, I didn't care, I put the water cup on the table, leaned back against the edge of the table in front of her, clasped my hands to my chest, and said unhurriedly:

"Then I'll lend you five hundred taels of silver, three cents of interest, and return it monthly."

"You're a loan shark!" Su Miaohuo is authentic.

"You don't want to give it to you for nothing, and now you come to complain about the high profits, you are really difficult to serve!"

Su Miao puffed out her cheeks and looked at him, paused, and said:

"It's okay to return on a monthly basis, but the interest is settled on an annual basis, with an annual interest of three cents, relatively. I will let you be the head chef, and I will not let you do the day job again, and settle the salary every month. Even if you arrive in Toyosu, we will prepare a separate room for you, how about it? ”

The aftertaste was slightly stunned, looking at her serious face, I couldn't help laughing, and laughed:

"You really know how to make conditions, in that case, why don't you let me be the head chef directly. What's so interesting about a sous chef? ”

Su Miao also laughed and said lightly: "If you can surpass me as the head chef in my restaurant, then it is time for you to go home." ”

Aftertaste was stunned. looked at her silently for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand to rub her long black and shiny hair, and said with a smile:

"Going over you? What an arrogant thing you say! ”

Su Miao didn't expect him to rub it up suddenly, and she was startled. Struggling to get up. Clap his hands vigorously. The aftertaste was unmoved, let her pat it, and rubbed her head as if it were a puppy's head. While ruffling her long hair, he leaned down slightly, such an angle made it easier for the two of them to look at each other, he looked into her eyes, smiled at the corners of his lips, and whispered:

"Your hair is soft and thick. It's a shame to let the rest of your hair braided casually after pulling it up, so how about just spreading it out and combing it down? "The woman of Yue Liangguo and the double maid in front of the flute. Most of the hair is combed into a bun, and the rest is braided or spread out and combed, and then all the hair is tied up after the marriage. Su Miao has passed the age of the Emperor, and she has always combed that part of the hair that fell down into braids.

"I'm preparing food for others, how can I put my hair down. Let it go, don't touch my hair! The big knuckle hand rubbed her uncomfortably, obviously fairer and more delicate than a woman, obviously cleaner and more fragrant than a woman, but the wide and strong bones did tell her about the difference in gender, this feeling was very strange, she muttered and pushed his hand away.

Aftertaste didn't care, thought about it, and said with a smile: "What you said is right, then spread out and comb it on the fixed holiday." ”

"Why would I do that?" Su Miao asked speechlessly.

"Because I want to see it." He replied in a natural tone.

Su Miao's heart beat slightly, and she stayed for a second, and then she felt that the area near her ears seemed to be hot, and her heart suddenly beat fast after a pause in the previous second, like a deer running at an accelerated pace. I don't know why, the whole person gradually became red, a little impetuous, a little chest tightness and shortness of breath, dizziness in the head, and unclear thoughts in the winter, there was a precursor to heat stroke!

"Your face is flushed, haven't you recovered from the choking just now?" Aftertaste pressed the slightly cool back of her hand against her hot cheeks and asked with concern.

Su Miao stood up as if she had been electrocuted, startling the aftertaste.

"Get out! I'm going to sleep! She pushed him out with a stiff expression.

"Don't you look sleepy, don't you feel well?" Aftertaste was pushed forward, and looked back to ask.

"Get out!" Su Miao pushed him hard to the threshold.

"What kind of attitude are you, I'm also your ...... of capital, capital, and people" Before the aftertaste was finished, the person had already been pushed out of the room, and Su Miao closed the door with a bang!

Aftertaste stood in front of the door, thought silently, turned around, but met the surprised pretty face of Chunniang.

Chunniang took a bath before coming back, and as soon as she walked to the door, she bumped into such a scene, was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile:

"Brother Hui, did you quarrel with Sister Miao?"

"Nope." Aftertaste replied expressionlessly, "We're fine." With that, he bypassed her and went straight to his room at the opposite door and closed the door.

Chunniang stood alone in the narrow hall, hung her head in some frustration, and sighed lightly: Except for Sister Miao, Brother Hui really doesn't want to pay attention to anyone!

Su Miao was not so much because of the aftertaste's behavior, but because she was annoyed and angry at her reaction, stupidly being led by the nose, and stupidly being influenced by others to produce strange psychological fluctuations, which made her feel a sense of chagrin that she was still actively cooperating with the other party even though she was being tricked.

Then again, I didn't expect that the taciturn coffin face to look back on was still a dangerous person who was good at maneuvering people's hearts......

Sure enough, people should not be disguised!

Su Miao refused to take the initiative to talk to Huiwei for several days, and Huiwei didn't care, what to say, what to do, what to do, even others could see that there was a strange sense of distance between the two, but he still went his own way, and was not affected by Su Miao's behavior at all.

Regular holidays.

Today is the day to visit the pigeon building in Fengzhou, and the people who make an appointment in advance to go with Su Xian, Su Chan, and Chunniang. Su Yan and Ning Le were at a critical moment of preparing for the exam, so they naturally couldn't go, but Su Yan wanted to go. Seeing Hu Shihu's face, he had to retreat and study aggrievedly. The aftertaste will follow without an agreement in advance, after all, it is the gold owner.

As soon as dawn broke, Su Miao got up. Sitting at the table, I dipped in water and combed my hair, and simply pulled up most of my long hair with jujube hairpins, and then I had to knot the rest of my hair into three strands. She looked up at herself in the mirror, her long black hair like smooth and silky black silk, and hesitated. Loose braids, grab the comb, comb the remaining long hair, and wear it obediently behind him. Looking at myself in the mirror again, I did look softer than when I was meticulously combed into my braids. Just as she was about to laugh to show that she was happy with the new hairstyle, her heart beat suddenly, and she shook her whole body, and suddenly returned to reality. Look at the person in the mirror again. I just feel stupid. Pouting and a little annoyed, he put his long hair back together, braided it into a braid, tied it with a headband, put on a cotton jacket, cotton pants, and a cotton skirt, and wrapped it in a thin cotton cardigan, got up and hurried to the bathroom to wash.

After breakfast and departure, I had already made an appointment with the mule cart the day before, and I got on the bus from the white stone bridge on time. In the morning, there were few people, and the distance was fast, and it was not yet noon when I arrived in Toyosu.

Su Miao asked the coachman to drive them to Boss Wan's sugar factory. Not long after, Boss Wan came out with a smile in a cotton robe with a satin face inlaid with a fox fur collar, and arched his hand at her with red light. Su Miao returned the salute and said some polite words such as "I'm in trouble this time", Boss Wan waved his hand again and again, smiled and invited them to sit down, ordered the guy to serve tea, and beckoned another guy to go to the pigeon building to run an errand, and informed the boss Zhong of the pigeon building that he would bring the people who watched the building over later.

The guy who ran the errand came back soon and said that Boss Zhong said that they could go over whenever they wanted.

So Boss Wan ordered someone to prepare a car and personally took Su Miao and others to the pigeon building on Shouchun Street.

Shouchun Street is separated by two blocks from Lingyuan Street, although it is said that Lingyuan Street is an intricate street, and the distance between Shouchun Street and Lingyuan Street is at least two quarters of an hour.

Shouchun Street is an east-west avenue, the pigeon building is in the middle of Shouchun Street, the left side is a restaurant, the right side is a teahouse, there is a wine shop under the tea house, and the opposite side is a jewelry building and silk village. The street is full of people and traffic, so it's not lively.

Although the pigeon building has plans to sell it, it is still open, but there are few customers.

Boss Wan accompanied Su Miao and others into the pigeon building, Chun Niang was used to seeing the hot restaurant every day, and when she saw such a deserted restaurant, she was surprised and whispered:

"Sister Miao, it's lunch, why are there so few people here?"

"Do you really want to buy a restaurant with such a bad business, if the feng shui is broken, maybe it will also bring our business to the bottom of it." Su Chan was not very satisfied with the real thing when she saw it, and said in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, the first restaurant in Fengzhou and the second pigeon building in Fengzhou before, have been very prosperous, what feng shui is it!" Su Xian retorted, paused and said, "It's strange, before Pinxian Lou didn't get into a lawsuit, the business of Pigeon House had been ranked second, and it had only been a long time, not only did it not get better, but it got worse and worse." ”

"Eighty percent of them were topped by the Tong family, how could Tong Ran not have a master who cooked Cantonese cuisine under his hands, I am afraid that it will be higher." Su Miao replied lightly.

Boss Wan heard it and whispered:

"The little eldest sister really guessed, the pigeon building specializes in Cantonese cuisine, I didn't think that two years ago, there was a master of Cantonese cuisine in Yipinlou, and people who have tasted it say that it is authentic Cantonese cuisine. Since then, the business of the pigeon building has declined a little bit, and I have heard that all the abilities in the pigeon building have been poached by the first product building, and the pigeon building has not improved no matter how it has been changed, and now it can only get rid of it. ”

Su Miao nodded, it seems that Tong Ran is not only good at vicious annexation, but also good at poaching everywhere.

The proprietor of the pigeon building was invited out of the kitchen by the guys, and Boss Zhong was over fifty years old, short and white, and his pace was fast, like a moving teapot.

Boss Zhong first exchanged a few words with Boss Wan, because Huiwei was standing in front, he naturally greeted Huiwei politely. The aftertaste was slightly stunned, and Su Miao, who was looking east and west behind him, pointed to:

"She's the buyer."

Boss Zhong was stunned, he hadn't heard that the buyer was a girl in advance, he looked over in surprise, and then looked at Boss Wan suspiciously.

"The buyer is this Miss Su." Boss Wan didn't say much, explained with a smile, and said to Su Miao, "The little eldest sister and Boss Zhong have also met, it's time for me, a Chinese person, to leave, and the rest of you two will negotiate on your own, and I'll go back first if I have something to do in the sugar shop." ”

That is, there is no need to take into account the face of the Chinese, the price can be negotiated between the two parties, Su Miao smiled slightly:

"Thank you, Boss Wan."

Boss Wan waved his hand, Boss Zhong couldn't hold back, seeing him leave, his heart was bottomless, looking at Su Miao, Su Miao was observing the decoration on the first floor and the state of the guys. Boss Zhong waited for a long time and didn't see her speak, so he asked with a smile:

"Miss Su, shall I take you to see before and after?"

"There's Boss Lao Zhong." Su Miao responded with a smile, and followed Boss Zhong upstairs and downstairs in a circle.

Although the pigeon building is a little old, the decoration is quite detailed, except that the layout makes Su Miao not very satisfied. The restaurant is divided into two floors, the scale is not small, the first floor has nearly 30 tables of loose seats, the stairs are on the west side, the second floor is about 20 tables, the window is a circle of elegant seats, there is no private room. There are three houses in the front of the backyard of the restaurant plus two independent ear rooms, and there are also several messy houses on the east and west sides, which are dusty and have not been cleaned for a long time, exuding a strange smell. The second half of the east house forms a long walkway with the exterior wall of the restaurant, and at the end of the walkway is the side door of the inner courtyard, which is an independent deep alley in the alley next to the gate of the restaurant. The house on the east side is a long strip of bunks, although most of the light is blocked by the opposite wall and a little dim, but it is very spacious, and it is clear that this is a staff dormitory, but no one lives in it.

Su Miao visited the kitchen again, the kitchen was also understaffed, and all the people in the kitchen were as sad as the guys in the field, and their eyes were confused.

"Boss Zhong is such a big restaurant, why are there so few guys and cooks?" Sitting down in the elegant seat on the second floor, Su Miao took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

Boss Zhong showed a wry smile: "All the capable ones have been dug up, and the rest have quit their jobs and left because of bad business, and the few who stayed are because they don't want to leave, but unfortunately no matter what they do, the pigeon building still can't hold on, but it ruins their hearts." ”

"I see. It is really rare to find people who can share hardships with their employers, presumably they all have a deep relationship with Boss Zhong. If Boss Zhong goes back to Guangfu, will he take them all with him? ”

"They are all locals, they have a family and Lao Tzu Niang, and Guangfu is far away, how can they follow me through mountains and rivers." Boss Zhong shook his head and sighed.

"If Boss Zhong can give me one of the prices, I am willing to accept all these people left in the pigeon building." Su Miao said with a smile.

Boss Zhong didn't expect her to be waiting for him here, so he was taken aback and looked at her in surprise.

"Am I thinking wrong, Boss Zhong plans to leave by himself, and he doesn't want to care about the livelihood of those who are loyal to you in the future?" Su Miao asked with a smile.

Boss Zhong was shocked and fell silent. (To be continued......)
