Chapter 49: It's Not Easy
"Heh, since Liu Dadong's family is warmly invited, Su Lin naturally wants to go to the court." Su Lin blinked and smiled.
In fact, he doesn't pay much attention to the profit of this tofu brain, but this feeling of being imitated is very unpleasant, and now he is getting a piece of the pie, and that person is blatantly telling you that if you steal your business, the key is not to get angry.
Now he says he's annoyed and upset!
Especially Su'er, the people outside all call themselves white jade and tofu Shih, thinking that someone has also made this tofu brain, and can't help but feel a little blue and thin mushrooms.
Su'er was very happy to do this, but now she found that there might be fewer people eating tofu brain in the store in the future, so she couldn't help but run to Su Lin, puffed out her cheeks and said:
"Brother Su, why don't we also reduce the price!"
Looking at Liu Rui, who was gradually moving away, Liu Rui lowered his head and doted on Gou Su'er's nose, and said, "Hey, I want to go and see if the tofu brain in this Fenghailou is authentic......
Thirty copper coins, it's a full three percent discount, and there is no one, doesn't this guy know that if he plays like this, he will be retaliated against if he has no friends?
Su Lin couldn't help but think.
After comforting Su'er, Su Lin left Su Ji and walked to the east of the city.
Fenghailou is a restaurant with an area that is not very large, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the top restaurants, and Su Lin occasionally passes by here, and finds that the business here is not very prosperous, and today it is actually a market!
This made Su Lin instantly stunned, didn't he say that today was because of Halloween, and Su Ji's business was not good? Why is this Fenghai Building as lively as a bazaar?
Su Lin felt a little strange, and found a banner hanging under the signboard outside, which read: "White jade tofu brain, only thirty taels and one bowl!" ”
His face turned dark, it turned out that all the customers in the city had come here, and the occasional one who shook his head and left here to go to Su Ji was just an old customer who was used to eating a place!
Stepping into the threshold, five or six girls dressed in fancy clothes on both sides suddenly shouted: "Guest officer, please!" ”
Su Lin's face immediately turned red, and he doubted whether he had come to the restaurant or the green building, and saw that there were also some beautiful waiters inside, carrying white jade tofu brains to the diners......
And because of the beauty, coupled with the cheap appetizer of tofu brain, many diners will order a few other dishes, and even a dish for ten taels of silver!
It turns out that Liu Rui is not a drunkard, but diners ordering other dishes, no wonder, although tofu brain is loved by the public, but it is not considered to make money, this fat man didn't expect to have such an economic mind, it's a pity not to go to modern times to open a bar! (Ahem, writing this, I'm wondering if I should write about Liu Ruifan, who opened a bar in modern times?) )
At this time, not long after Liu Dadong's family returned to the restaurant, he was very busy, and when he saw Su Lin coming in, he hurriedly said: "Hahaha, Su Dadong's family is here to cheer?" Come on, come on, I'll please! ”
Su Lin was not polite, went to the second floor to find a vacant seat and sat down, and said with a cold face: "Come to a bowl of tofu brain." ”
Liu Rui's smiling cheeks suddenly stiffened, and he was stunned: "Why did Su Dadong's family come to me to eat white jade tofu brain?" ”
"You're not selling?" Surin asked.
"Oh, sell, sell, sell!" Liu Rui's face was bitter, he had never seen Su Lin so strange, he didn't eat tofu brain at his own house, but came to his house to eat, so he was sweating profusely and greeted him personally.
This feeling is like Lao Wang next door coming from home and being hospitable, but the other side said: "I'm tired of playing with my mother-in-law, come to play your house......
Although the metaphor is a little inappropriate, Liu Rui just feels this way, the only difference from that situation is that you can't refuse when people come to consume......
"Wait, Liu Dadong." Su Lin suddenly stopped Liu Rui, making the latter stunned.
He turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Because the speed of turning back was too fast, the flesh on this guy's face shook and shook, like a pug, but Su Lin couldn't laugh, but said with a little anger: "You are a little unkind......
"No...... Not kind? It took him a long time before he understood the meaning of the word, sat down next to Su Lin, and asked, "Why am I not kind?" ”
Su Lin looked at Liu Rui's eyes, which were very clear, this guy didn't feel guilty about robbing business, he took it for granted, and he didn't realize that it was wrong to do so!
This sincere look made Su Lin very annoyed, so he said: "Ming people don't say secret words, Liu Dadong, it's okay for you to imitate tofu brain, and it's okay to sell it at a reduced price, but it's not right for you to go to my store to solicit customers." ”
This feeling is very unpleasant for anyone.
Liu Rui smiled and said, "That's not impossible, but your family Su remembers to sell it to me." ”
Hearing this, Su Lin's eyes turned up, looking at Liu Rui's original philistine face, but now with a hint of cunning, this matter, it seems that something is wrong?
Immediately, he reacted and said with a smile: "Su Ji's signboard? ”
Liu Rui nodded, stretched out ten fingers, and said, "Someone offered 100,000 taels of silver to buy your signboard." ”
"Surname Cai?" Surin didn't answer directly, but asked back.
A strange look suddenly flashed on the fat face of the philistine, and then he shook his head: "No. ”
His eyes purred and kept turning, and it was easy to hold back a sentence: "In short, in my opinion, no matter whether the Su Dadong family has a grudge against it, or a grudge, 100,000 taels, but it is a white flower." ”
For 100,000 snowflakes of silver, Liu Rui was not moved, he knew that there must be Cai An's shadow among them, but what did he want Su Ji's signboard to do?
This Liu Rui originally just wanted the production method of this white jade tofu brain to be good, so as to gain the patronage rate of diners in the store, but the special hot sauce chef in Nabashu was not something that could be invited casually.
To completely figure out Fan's secret hot sauce in a few days, and imitate it perfectly, this chef is probably as rare as the top chef king in later generations, such a person, even if he enters the palace, is the top, with his small Fenghailou can not afford to invite.
The only thing that can be explained is that this chef was invited by Cai An, which can be regarded as a reward for Liu Rui, and then used it to suppress the price of tofu brain, and finally bankrupt himself...... Then, let Liu Rui come forward and say that he wanted to buy his own signboard and save himself?
Cai An must not know that he has other income, and only thinks that his sources of income come from Su Ji, and then set this kind of child-like trap?
However, what do you want Su Kee to sign?
"One hundred thousand taels, too little." All thoughts flashed through him, and Su Lin shook his head in refusal, then got up to leave.
Liu Rui was stunned in place, a trace of annoyance appeared on his face, and he called a guy and said, "Reduce the price of this white jade tofu brain to ten taels of silver!" ”
