Chapter Eighty-Five: Knocking on the Bone and Sucking the Marrow

When he returned to the store, it was already evening, and he was worried about what would happen, but when he saw that everything in the restaurant was still calm as usual, Fan Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Fan Ming coming back, Tu Liu and several women were immediately relieved, as if they had seen the backbone of the main heart, even the children's eyes lit up, and Tu Liu hurriedly greeted him, "Childe, you're back." ”

Fan Ming nodded, "Well, what's the situation in the shop today?" ”

"Business is still the same, yesterday's gang of puffers didn't come, but two dukes came." Tu Liu hurriedly told the two dukes about coming to the door and eating and drinking, and said with a worried face: "These two dukes will come over tomorrow, I'm afraid it's not easy to send it, Gongzi ......."

Fan Ming's heart sank, and his heart was as he expected, the gang of splashes did not continue to harass last night, they were just waiting for the public to make a move, once he couldn't drive it, then the next revenge would follow.

Nodding slightly, "It's okay, I'll deal with it tomorrow." ”

Seeing the children looking at him with blank expressions, Fan Ming couldn't help but be slightly stunned and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

Tu Liu shook his head and said, "The son is not here, Tu Liu doesn't dare to make his own decisions." ”

Fan Ming's face sank, and he originally wanted to scold him for messing around, but after thinking about it, this era seems to be like this, and it will take a thousand years for democracy or something to come out, so he slowed down his tone and said: "How can you do it without eating, you can survive it, the children can't stand it, hurry up and let the Qi family's aunt eat." ”

Tu Liu nodded gratefully, "Eh, I'll go now." ”

Hearing the news of the meal, cheers rang out immediately, and he walked to the back of the cabinet, Tu Liu hurriedly walked over and counted out today's revenue, "Childe, this money is today's harvest, these people all said that we can't open for a few days, and there are more people who come to eat than yesterday." ”

Fan Ming nodded slightly, although he had not been in contact with Tu Liu for a long time, being able to take these children through hardships showed that his character was good.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have to worry about leaving alone and leaving all the money to him.

Of course, people's betrayal is sometimes because the temptation is not enough, he is only temporarily leaving, if he leaves for a long time, he can't guarantee that Tu Liu will not be moved, not to mention that now this shop still has external worries and internal difficulties, if it is not solved, the shop will not be open for a long time.

waved his hand, "You can also go eat first, I won't eat, I just ate outside." ”

Tu Liu bowed slightly and retreated.

Fan Ming counted today's income, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned in his heart, there were more than 3,500 Wen, that is, today is more than twice as much as yesterday, this is simply a huge profit!

This catering industry is really the industry with the lowest threshold, and once it becomes a hit, the profits will be frighteningly high.

If the owner of the tea shop next to him knew, he didn't know that he would be so jealous that he would smash his own tea shop.

After counting the money, Fan Ming used a rope to separate and string it together, the genuine copper coins were strung into a string, iron coins and tin coins were strung together, the Great Song Dynasty lacked copper and silver, and the commodity economy was developed, and the demand for money was getting bigger and bigger, so only iron coins and tin coins could be minted, so copper coins were relatively more valuable.

Nowadays, it has always been about 800 Wen, and now Fan Ming is a little bit of money.

However, if you want to return the twenty yuan given by Xiang Xue'er, it will take a few days, provided that his restaurant can continue to open normally.

If he can continue to open, he will have to consider finding someone he trusts to be the shopkeeper, he still has to study, he has to do other things, it is impossible to stay here for a long time, this is just a business he used to start.

That night, Lin Changfan slept in the store again.

still let Tu Liu go outside to monitor, but fortunately, nothing happened, which made Fan Ming's heart very uneasy, the quieter it was, the more difficult it was to deal with the next thing.

Sure enough, at noon, the two fat and thin men came again, swaggered directly into it, and shouted at Xiaoyi: "Hurry up and eat, according to yesterday's extra portion, he can't forget it after his mother's meal, call your host over." ”

Fan Ming, who was collecting money, knew that this was the two dukes Tu Liu said, straightened his clothes, stepped out from behind the cabinet, and walked in front of the two, "Two big brothers, dare to ask what are you doing?" ”

The two turned their heads to look at Fan Ming, and saw that Fan Ming was dressed as a scholar, and his polite appearance was slightly stunned, "You are the owner of this restaurant?" ”

Fan Ming nodded slightly, "I am exactly." ”

Looking at Fan Ming's dress, a trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the fatter public, but he heard that the thinner public next to him had already spoken, "Have you ever gone to the yamen to register in this shop, have you ever applied with the restaurant shop, do you have a certificate?" ”

Fan Ming's heart sank, knowing that today's trouble might be difficult to be good.

After a little hesitation, he didn't answer positively, raised his hand and asked, "I don't know what the two of you are in the yamen, and it is the fault of the kid that you didn't meet in time." ”

Seeing that Fan Ming was so "knowledgeable", the thin man nodded slightly, "And let me tell you that this is my family's Jia block, and the affairs of the merchants outside the city, including the wharf, are all under the control of the head of the block, you opened a shop without passing through the yamen, or leaning against the city wall, according to the rules, not only to confiscate the shop, but also to detain and hold you responsible, and wait for the fate of the adults." ”

Fan Ming listened to the thin man's threat, and his face did not change, "I'm sorry, the small shop opened in a hurry, and I forgot these things, I am really dizzy, and I hope the two of you will give you a chance to make amends." ”

The thin man is usually used to being majestic outside, once the ordinary small businessman is frightened like this, he can't tremble, and the fart is rolling, but he doesn't want this little shopkeeper to change his face, and he wonders if it is the son of a family, and his tone suddenly softened, "It's not easy to come out to do things at your age, if you don't want to close it, then quickly take the money out to do something." ”

Fan Ming paused and asked, "I don't know how much money is needed?" ”

The thin man's small eyes rolled, and he stretched out a slap, "Five hundred, and the money for the field service will also be ten times a month, if you can't get these money, then you will pull people." ”

Fan Ming sneered in his heart, thinking that this was naked blackmail, and it was also a bone sucking marrow, the so-called imperial power is not lower than the county, he knew that the low-level officials were very greedy before, but he didn't expect to be greedy to this extent, this is simply a human life!

However, he also knew very well that this was because he didn't worship the dock, and the role of the guild in this era was very large, and if there was a guild, he would not be blackmailed like this, but he would be exploited by the guild.

And it's too late to say this now, these two people are obviously here to ban him!
