Outside the Dingding Gate, there was suddenly a straw shed this morning.

There are several large cauldrons under the straw shed, which are full of fragrant porridge and rice.

A sign was erected outside the porridge shed, which read: A dream building gives porridge for half a moon to comfort those who have no food in the city.

Outside Luoyang City, there are down-and-out people who have fled from other places, and there are also many beggars and miserable people in the city.

By noon, there were already many people waiting for the soup kitchen in front of the porridge shed.

The aroma of porridge from the pot touched the hearts and souls of the people around him, and he was even more excited after seeing the baskets of steamed cakes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this porridge will be cooked later." Sun Peng stood on a square table and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "I am the shopkeeper of Yimenglou, you should listen to me first." Later, scoop porridge, a bowl of thick porridge for one person, and a steamed cake. Don't fight, lest you knock over and no one will be able to eat. ”

This was said several times before Sun Peng went down.

Someone at the bottom said: "Soup soup has always been a thin soup, where have you ever seen thick porridge?" This is also the first time I have seen this steamed cake. I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"That basket of steamed cakes is there, could it be that they eat it themselves? I have to be able to finish it! A person next to him who heard this replied: "I heard that this dream building was originally called Chunfeng Building, but it was put unclean things by the owner of this dream building, so it was resold at a low price, and it was robbed of the shop by a dream building." Maybe this is atonement for one's own sins? ”

"Fart, that's not what Lao Tzu knows." Another voice next to him took over the conversation, and the voice was a little loud, attracting many people around.

But I heard him continue: "Lao Tzu's brother-in-law Guan'er's Hun family is the maid next to the main house of the original Chunfeng Lou, I heard her say that after the owner of Chunfeng Lou died, his Hun family wanted to sell this Chunfeng Lou, and those big restaurants and restaurants in Luoyang City took advantage of the rumors of Chunfeng Lou to bully other orphans and widows, and pressed the price to 10,000 yuan, and they had to press it down, and they were only willing to pay 5,000 yuan. You say, the shop in Chunfeng Building can be bought for 5,000 guan? It is clearly to take advantage of people's danger and take the opportunity to bully people. I heard that a few people also wanted to be concubines in the receiving room of a widow's family, but they were kicked out by the guys in Chunfeng Building. ”

"Then how did this dream building come about?" Someone next to him asked.

"I heard that the owner of Yimenglou couldn't get used to those people bullying people like this, so he bought it for 30,000 yuan. The orphans and widows of Chunfeng Lou were grateful, and they returned a few thousand yuan and sold Chunfeng Lou to the owner of this dream building today. He said again: "I think this is true, do you think, what the maid next to the female proprietor of Chunfeng Building said, can that be false?" ”

"What's going on with the rumors that Chunfeng Tower is haunted? is the maid of the female proprietor, can you know a sure child? Someone else gossiped and asked.

"It's a big deal, it's not that the owner of Chunfeng Building is sick, those few who want to take advantage of the death of the owner of Chunfeng Building to occupy the bad goods of other Chunfeng Lou are deliberately doing this to lower the price of other Chunfeng Building!"

Such conversations have appeared many times at different times in this group of people waiting for soup kitchen.

The so-called rumors, for those intermediate communicators, do not matter whether they are true or not. They are just a momentary quick talk, and they just say that they have passed it on, and there are few people who really go to verify the truth and falsehood.

Several rumors are intertwined, and no one can tell which is true and which is false, and the rumors cancel each other out, or are replaced by other new rumors.

The most taboo thing about rumors is that they are one-sided, and as long as they are not one-sided, then they don't have to worry too much about anything.

Wei Renshi, who originally planned to return to Changgu, had to stop in Luoyang for a few more days because of this matter.

There must be no more people behind this rumor than several other big restaurants and restaurants in Luoyang City, but there is no definite evidence, and there is no way to know who it came from.

Maybe it's the drunken tower, which hired a scoundrel to make trouble in the first place.

But those people had already been instructed by Wei Renshi, and they pestered him in the past, if Drunken Xiaolou made a small move so quickly, the owner of Drunken Xiaolou would inevitably be too brainless.

Wei Renshi didn't believe that someone who could make such a big industry would be so brainless.

Pocai making trouble is just a temptation, after seeing that Wei Renshi and Yimenglou are not easy to mess with, even if they want to make another move, don't they have to be prepared to make a big move?

So Wei Renshi felt that this rumor probably wouldn't come from Zuixiao Tower.

Wei Renshi called Sun Peng and asked, "Have you found out in the past few days?" ”

"There are a lot of conflicts with our business in Luoyang City, but there are few large-scale ones, a total of more than a dozen." Sun Peng waved his finger and reported Wei Renshi's names one by one, and said: "It is possible for these dozen or so, but there is no way to determine which one it is." ”

"You will send someone to spread rumors in the past few days, saying that these families are red about the business of Yimenglou, and they are ready to join forces to deal with Yimenglou, and vow to make Yimenglou unable to open." Wei Renshi thought about it and said to Sun Peng.

Sun Peng was stunned for a moment and said, "Lang Jun, don't you dare to spread it like this, what if they hear these rumors and really join forces to deal with us?" That's probably not small! After all, our business is so good as soon as we open, they won't be blushing......"

Wei Renshi smiled and said, "The liquor of Yimenglou has already become famous, and these rumors are very bad for their reputation. They will not let this rumor be confirmed, and they will come out to explain it, and express that they have no such intention. Otherwise, I just don't want to work in Luoyang City. ”

"And ......," Wei Renshi said again, "Even if they are really sitting in secret, they really want to join forces to deal with us." Don't be afraid. Don't forget, the essence of our business is not to be a restaurant, but to be a wine shop to sell wine. Yimenglou is just an industry under the winery, and Wei Kee liquor is our main business. Doing a restaurant is just piggybacking, and selling wine is the main business! If you want to sell more liquor, you can't just confine liquor to a dream building, what do you say? ”

Sun Peng was stunned for a moment, immediately understood, and said: "What Lang Jun means is that our liquor is sold to other restaurants, and all other restaurants can come to us to buy goods?" ”

Wei Renshi nodded, and said, "In the final analysis, other wineries are our real competitors. Therefore, it is best for these restaurants and restaurants to join forces to deal with Yimenglou, which is to give us a pretext to attract the attention of other wineries to Yimenglou for us. Let's sell wine as widely as possible, as long as the large and small restaurants and wine stores come to buy, we have low-end and mid-range high-end wines, and we sell them all, and we also sell loose wine. When the big guys are used to drinking liquor and can't swallow those sour liquor syrups anymore, what do we have to be afraid of? At that time, what I was afraid of was that my store would bully customers and die by myself. As for other restaurants, restaurants, and other wineries, they are just floating clouds. ”
