Chapter 94: Back to the Hotel and the Waiter
The bargaining chips that are enough for one person to be honest with another person often come from honest narratives, or sympathetic sympathy.
And Wu Dalang did both of these things, he sincerely wanted to bring down Wang Po's tea shop, which was the most basic bargaining chip for negotiation, and what resonated with the tea shop owner was Wu Dalang's similar experience with him.
Wu Dalang silently drank a cup of tea, silently poured another cup again, and quietly waited for the next step from the owner of the tea shop, he knew what this boss would say.
The owner of the tea shop was silent for a moment and then said: "My name is Lu Linyu, I was originally engaged in small business, married a beautiful wife, and lived a fairly solid life. ”
Saying that, Lu Linyu's face showed a look of pain, and he paused before continuing: "Later, the business became busy, and I didn't have much time to spend with my wife, and she was bored alone. Later, I met Wang Po, Wang Po said to give her some needlework, and there are many women together, everyone can chat together and will not be bored. ”
"I was still a little worried at the time, but I personally sent her over and found that there were indeed many women doing some needlework together, and I was a lot more relieved. After a few days, there was nothing unusual, and she was much more cheerful every day, so I didn't pay attention to it. ”
"About ten days later, that day she came back a little late, not even cooking, I came back tired and hungry, I was a little angry, so I scolded her. Then go to bed. ”
"In the middle of the night, I woke up and I found that she was not in bed, so I got up and went to find her. Still... only to find out that she hanged herself in the kitchen. ”
Wu Dalang looked at Lu Linyu, he was already in tears, and he couldn't cry anymore.
Wu Dalang silently picked up the teacup and poured the already slightly cold tea into his stomach, but the tea was much bitterer than before.
"I took her down and noticed that she had some scars on her wrists. I rolled up her sleeves, and so did her arms. I knew then that she had been abused before, and when I came back, I didn't notice anything strange about her, I only complained, and if I had cared for and comforted her at that time, this should not have been the case. ”
"I know that this matter has nothing to do with Wang Po, but I don't have enough evidence to report it to the official. If I had reported to the authorities, I might have been falsely accused of killing my dad myself. But I can't help but take revenge. So, I opened this tea shop. I want to bring down Wang Po's tea shop. ”
"Unfortunately, I didn't do it, and my tea shop business is not good. Now that I've said that, I'm not afraid to say anything more, and if business doesn't improve in a few days, I'm going to go over and kill her directly. ”
Lu Linyu laughed miserably: "I know that killing pays for my life, but I have no choice." ”
Wu Dalang comforted: "You are still young, it is not worth exchanging your life with that old woman." I'll help you, and I'm sure to make the princess die in despair. ”
Lu Linyu knelt directly on the ground from the chair and kowtowed three times: "If you can help me avenge, I am willing to repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life." ”
Wu Dalang hurriedly helped Lu Linyu up: "You don't have to be like this, I just want to do it myself." We're just working together and helping each other. ”
Lu Linyu: "Then what is your solution?" ”
Wu Dalang: "Do you know why the business of your tea shop is not as good as that of the tea shop opposite?" ”
Lu Linyu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's good that I want to know." ”
Wu Dalang said slowly: "I have been to Wang Po's tea shop, the tea there is not as good as yours, the environment is not as elegant as yours, and the snacks are not as delicious as yours." It stands to reason that business really shouldn't be inferior to the other side. ”
"But you're missing one of the most important things. Your understanding of tea is correct, tea is indeed an elegant thing, but you should know how to adapt to local conditions. There aren't many elegant people in Yanggu County. Tea drinkers, almost a group of people gathered together to chat. ”
"And your tea shop is just the opposite, your tea shop advocates quiet, how can a group of people who like to talk stay? So, if you want your business to get better, you have to cater to your customers. Your tea shop has to be rearranged. ”
Lu Linyu had a trace of embarrassment on his face: "If I arrange it, it maybe... Maybe it's still like this, can you..."
Wu Dalang knew what Lu Linyu wanted to say, so he took the initiative to say: "If you believe me, you can leave the tea shop to me to deal with for the time being." ”
Lu Linyu hurriedly said: "No problem, no problem, then do you have any arrangements now?" ”
"You write a notice and post it outside. Let's write it like this: The tea shop will be rectified and open tomorrow. Special note: Every customer who enters the store will receive a small gift, which should not be missed. ”
Lu Linyu listened to it and asked a little curtly: "Exquisite little gift?" I probably don't have that much money. ”
Wu Dalang patted Lu Linyu's shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, just write it." Stuff I'll arrange. Let's go back first. ”
Wu Dalang turned around and left as he spoke, Lu Linyu quickly stood up, sent Wu Dalang out of the tea shop, and shouted from behind: "Boss Wu go slowly." ”
Wu Dalang waved his hand and walked straight in the direction of his hotel.
When Wu Dalang walked to the door of the hotel, he took a look, there was no one in the hotel, and it was a little late now, so everyone should have gone to sleep.
But these guys don't close the door, Wu Dalang is still a little angry about this, this is not the era of the road is not left behind, I have to talk about them tomorrow.
Wu Dalang walked into the hotel and was about to walk towards the kitchen, so late, of course he was hungry.
However, he saw Jin Lian sitting at the counter.
At this moment, Pan Jinlian was leaning on the edge of the counter, and her little hands were supporting her little head and napping there.
Wu Dalang walked over, and when she was about to walk into the counter, Pan Jinlian immediately opened her eyes, looking panicked, and when she saw that it was Wu Dalang, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Pan Jinlian said happily: "Da Lang, you are back." ”
Wu Dalang walked in, gently hugged Pan Jinlian, touched her head and said, "You don't go to bed so late, have you forgotten what I told you before?" Go to bed early and have good skin. ”
"But you didn't come back. I'm a little worried. ”
"Your eldest man is amazing. What is there to worry about. ”
"Dalang, are you hungry? I'll help you heat up your meal. ”
"You go to sleep first, I'll bring the food myself."
Pan Jinlian suddenly sobbed quietly, walked out slowly, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll go upstairs to sleep." ”
When Pan Jinlian walked out of the counter, Wu Dalang shouted from behind, "Jinlian, go and help me heat up the meal." ”
Jin Lian's immediately stopped, then turned around, looked at Wu Dalang with big watery eyes and said, "Really? ”
"Of course, when did I lie to you."
"Eun, then I'll go, Dalang, wait a minute."
Wu Dalang also showed a smile when he looked at Pan Jinlian's cheerful appearance.
Sometimes even if you know everything, you shouldn't do everything, for Pan Jinlian, being able to help Wu Dalang do a little bit of things, that's all happiness.
And that's probably what home looks like.
