Zhang Xixi only heard that Liu Yong was friendly with Lord Zhizhou, but he didn't expect Lord Zhizhou himself to come. Zhang Xixi knew almost all the officials in Meizhou City, but he had never seen the face of Lord Zhizhou. At this time, I saw it in Liu Yong's sauce shop. This had to surprise her a little.

Zhang Xixi is a woman, although she is a courtesan, but on such occasions, she also has to keep the woman's way. She tried her best to avoid those characters she was familiar with, and rested in the room arranged by Liu Yong where she could see the entire sauce shop. This room is Liu Yong's room.

The people of Meizhou City, who have good faith, also came here to see how this former ghost house was revitalized. When these people saw that Lord Zhizhou and Tongju and other officials of Meizhou City came to cheer Liu Yong, they all realized something that was about to happen. In the near future, Liu Yong's Yongqing Sauce Shop will replace Ma Kee Sauce Shop and become the industry leader.

And the bell of the four major sauce shops has really arrived.

"Oh, who is this? When you open a business and send a clock to someone, is it obviously embarrassing for someone? ”

"yes, that's not true."

"Eh, you see, there's a name on the strip of cloth on that clock."

"yes."

"Ma Shifan, Li Qun, Wang Ke, Zhang Huaqing." A good-eyed man pronounced the name from afar.

"Oh, it turned out to be those four big sauce shops!"

"No wonder, my peers are enemies!"

"Isn't it? Ay? Don't forget, when Old Man Li was here, he was not less affected by these four families. ”

"Hey! I'm really sweating for Liu Daguan! ”

The crowd of onlookers saw the bell and talked about it. But the clock is also engraved with three big characters: Shanggong Clock. Let people also understand that the clock sent by the four of them is nothing else, but is used by the workers to report the time when they go to work. Clocks like this are found in almost every larger workshop.

There is a home, but it is not given by people, it is all made by one's own family.

Although its purpose seems pure, the deep meaning behind it can be said to be known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart.

Liu Yong saw a few little servants carrying the bell to congratulate him, not only was he not angry, but he was also very happy. Representatives of the four companies were thanked.

The deputies were not only not angry when they saw Liu Yong, but they were also very happy, and they all looked at each other. This is completely different from what they had imagined. In their imagination, Liu Yong looked at this bell, and if he didn't vomit blood and die, he would be half angry.

Liu Yong smiled and invited the delegates into the large courtyard behind the factory, where a banquet was prepared for the guests.

The four deputies went to the back with great disappointment. They all thought, how can they go back and explain to their masters? Liu Yong is really not a person, and he is very happy that people gave him a bell.

There were also two craftsmen who came and hung up the seeds for Liu Yong. Liu Yong personally untied the silk on the bell, and also made the bell come in handy.

Bells opened.

This is Liu Yong's plan, didn't you send the bell? Then I'll ring it.

Of course, the people who rang the bell were naturally Lord Zhizhou and Zhao Tong.

The master of ceremonies came to report that it was time to ring the bell.

So, Lord Zhizhou and Zhao Tongju rang the new bell together with a ram in front of everyone. Suddenly, the loud bell spread out in the air and floated straight to the sky above Meizhou City.

"Hehe, father, Liu Yong's guy actually rang the bell, he is really shameless!" Ma Gan smiled beside Ma Shifan.

Ma Shifan didn't laugh, he understood that the ringing of the bell meant their defeat.

"Father, why are you upset?" Ma Qian didn't understand.

"Ahem! Qian'er, Liu Yong's kid is really not an ordinary person. Originally, we wanted to humiliate him, but we didn't expect to be humiliated by him. Ma Shifan couldn't help but sigh.

"Father, the child does not understand. We obviously gave him the death knell that represents death, why was he humiliated instead? Ma Qian asked.

"Qian'er, you're still young. You want to. Since Liu Yong accepted the bell, it means that he doesn't care. He wasn't angry. So, what will the onlookers think? Ma Shifan asked.

Ma Gan pondered for a moment and said, "What else can you think, you can only say that the four of us have declared war on Liu Yong?" ”

"Yes, this is the declaration of war of the four of us. Also, people will think that what we are doing is not very authentic. But as peers, as opponents, they can still understand our painstaking efforts. In other words, we sent a bell, and it was just a fight between peers. However, as soon as Liu Yong accepted it, it showed two points. ”

"Which two?" Ma Qian asked.

Ma Shifan continued: "This first point shows that Liu Yong accepted our challenge. What does this make people think? They will think that Liu Yong is really a man and deserves respect. This second point shows that the bell we sent has not reached the point where Liu Yong is angry. What does this person think? People will think that Liu Yong is not only a man, but also a big-hearted person. He became a victim in the hearts of the people. As for us, we are persecutors. Since then, Liu Yong has been a good person who has been oppressed in people's hearts, but what about us? has become a villain who harms people. ”

Saying that, Ma Shifan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey! This is really stealing chickens and rice! ”

"Father, is it as serious as you say?" Ma Gan put away his gloating expression.

"Listen to the bell. Liu Yong's kid is smart. Ma Shifan sighed again.

"What's wrong with the bells? What does that mean? Ma Qian suddenly became like a child who didn't understand anything.

Faced with his son's question, Ma Shifan was silent for a moment, and at this time he finally saw the gap between his son and Liu Yong. is even more worried about Liu Yong's existence, if he is gone, his son is not Liu Yong's opponent anyway. They are of the same age, but their abilities are very different. He thought that no matter what, he would pull out this nail for his son in his lifetime, and also for their Ma family.

"Qian'er, you can't understand this?" Ma Shifan said while looking at Ma Qian worriedly.

His father's worries made Ma Gan feel a little panicked. He shook his head slightly.

"Hey! This shows that Liu Yong's kid is not only not angry because of the bell we sent. His opening ceremony was not affected in any way. Instead, he turned the passive into the active, and turned the death knell that we sent to us into an alarm bell that symbolizes the opening of a new future. Such wisdom is beyond the reach of the Father! ”

Ma Shifan sighed after saying this.

Ma Gan heard his father say this, and seemed to understand. He also felt that this incident was just like what his father said, stealing chickens and rice.
