Chapter 145: The Final Collision Is Ahead

Li Sheng is a very ordinary fellow, since he was a child, he has never seen a place more than 100 miles away from his hometown, and the farthest place he went to at the age of seventeen was Xiangling County.

Linfen, where I am located, is the capital of Jinju, prosperous, well, others say so, the surrounding counties are poor, and the people living in the surrounding counties are naturally ignorant, yes, they are ignorant, and some people don't know that this belongs to Hedong Province.

Even the person in Xiangling County who fell into the first place is not as knowledgeable as the account room of the Nanfeng Building where he is located, and the account room knows what the sea is like? I know that there are big fish more than ten zhang long in the sea, but the people who fall into the first place don't know.

I have been a buddy in Nanfeng Lou for four years, and I am busy every day, and I can eat all kinds of things in the sea in Nanfeng Lou in the whole Linfen, and I can use a boat or a carriage to transport it, and a basket of dry goods, soaked in water, will become a delicious dish at that time.

I'm usually busy, and I always want to be more relaxed, not only myself, but also other guys.

But now that I'm really free, I realize that it's better to be busy.

Except for the occasional people who came to Jinju from outside, the local people who used to always come to eat did not come, not to mention the reward, and the shopkeeper yesterday also explained that if this continues, even the monthly salary will not be settled.

They all complained about the three restaurants with the same name just now, and they were among the clouds.

I don't know where the three restaurants got the seafood, the same price, I heard that it tastes a hundred times stronger than Nanfeng Lou, plus the guy is wearing the same clothes, and it is said that everyone is literate, so he pulled the local rich people over at once.

Why? Three identical restaurants operate in the capital city where the state capital is located, who has the bad idea? Can you still make money?

If you don't come to the guest again, it is estimated that the shopkeeper will be able to quit the guys in the restaurant next month, I don't know where to find a way to live, and I can't read.

"Li Sheng, I'm here, why don't you hurry up and say hello, you can get paid for sitting at the door, come over quickly." With the shouting in the restaurant, Li Sheng broke free from his thoughts, hurriedly ran in, put the rag used to wipe the table on his shoulder, and smiled flatteringly as before.

"Four, what to eat?" Li Sheng habitually wiped it on the table with a rag, and at the same time swept his eyes on the four guests who came, and at a glance he knew that it was from outside.

Among the four, one old and three young, the old man closed his eyelids slightly, and did not say a word, and the young man sitting next to him looked at the man, and then at the rag, and frowned.

"How long has it been since you washed this rag? There is also a table, which has been eaten by insects next to it, and it is not a small wine shop on the side of the road. ”

"What the guest officer said is, change the small one, and the four of you please go to the table next to you to sit, the one that has not been eaten by insects."

Li Sheng slandered in his heart, where is the restaurant not like this? I didn't dare to say it, but I still had the same smile as before, catering to those who found fault.

After the four of them changed positions, Li Sheng also brought a new woolen cloth, the color was better than the previous one, and wiped it on the table as well, and asked, "What do you want to eat?" Small shop with ......"

"No need to carry it, four bowls of chicken and tender bamboo shoot soup, two plates of light side dishes." The person who spoke just now didn't wait for Li Sheng to introduce what dishes he had, and directly ordered one.

Li Sheng's face was embarrassed, and his smile was not as natural as before, and he replied: "Guest officer, our store Nanfeng Building, specializing in seafood dishes, nothing else, do you want to change it?" ”

"Oh, then four servings of shark fin bird's nest soup with a plate of stir-fried fresh conch." This person is also easy to talk, and he can order whatever the restaurant operates.

"Huh? Fresh conch? Is it OK to stir-fry conch meat? Li Sheng's smile disappeared now, thinking that four people were coming to make trouble, otherwise who could order fresh conch and transport it from afar, and still live?

"What? Can't do it yet? ”

"This ...... Guest, the price of fresh conch is a bit high, are you ......"

With a bang, four strings of copper coins were taken out of the package by another person and thrown directly onto the table.

Li Sheng was startled, he didn't know why this person had brought more than 20 catties of copper coins on his body, gritted his teeth, and said honestly: "Guest officer, you are embarrassed, who can transport live conch to this place?" There is no in our store. ”

"Didn't you say anything about seafood? We came from the capital, and ate live every day in the Zhuangyuan Building, and there was no more to you, no wonder it couldn't be operated. ”

The man glanced at the old man as he spoke, and the old man narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, and then settled down.

Li Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly went to arrange, and after the soup was served, he stood aside and waited, and when he saw the four of them eating there, he wanted to ask several times and held back.

The person who spoke just now drank half a bowl of soup, estimated the old man's eating speed, and stopped slightly, so that he could finish eating at the same time as the old man for a while, otherwise it would be a bit rude to let the old man eat by himself after eating first, so as to meet the man's gaze, and asked:

"But what's the matter?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I just want to ask, can the champion tower in the capital really eat things in the live sea?" Li Sheng's eyes looked at the old man from time to time, and he knew that as long as the old man was satisfied among the four people, there was no need to worry.

The person who stopped for a while suddenly nodded his head, "Naturally, the champion building belongs to the water cloud room, and the ability of the water cloud room is still needless to say?" ”

"Between the clouds and water? It's water and clouds again? Li Sheng now hates and yearns for the name Shui Yunjian.

"Hmmm! Do you know about the water and clouds here? ”

"I know, Shui Yunjian has opened three stores in the local area at the same time, and they also specialize in selling seafood, and the business of Nanfeng Lou is getting worse and worse." Li Sheng replied with a bitter face.

"Oh? There are also water clouds here? I knew that I went to Shuiyunjian to eat, it was more expensive, but it was comfortable to eat, the rags were all white, and I would change it if I wiped it dirty, and you Nanfeng Lou also sold seafood? I don't know if the owner's surname is Ning? ”

The man became interested, and the old man stopped his already unpleasant movements, and opened his eyes slightly.

Li Sheng's eyes widened, and his face was full of doubts, "How did the guest officer know?" The owner is surnamed Ning. ”

"The surname Ning is right, isn't the price of the food in Shui Yunjian's shop here the same as that of Nanfeng Building? If you lose it, you will definitely go to Shuiyunjian to eat some more in a while. ”

After this man said this, he saw that the man was still puzzled, perhaps because he could go to the water and clouds to eat cheap things, and kindly explained:

"Your owner has offended people, who is not good to provoke, you have to provoke the Zhang family in Sanshui County, and the means are so inferior, you actually beat one of the villagers' households, and the revenge of Shuiyunjian is coming, right? Obey me, hurry up and leave the Nanfeng Building, the Nanfeng Building will be closed in the future. ”

"What? A dealer was beaten, and Nanfeng Lou invited three seafood restaurants between the clouds? Is the life of a banker so valuable? ”

Li Sheng felt that this fact was fresher than a live conch, could the Zhang family's Zhuang family be made of jade? Can't touch it?

As if he knew what he was thinking, the person who spoke said again: "The things here are complicated and complicated, simple and simple, the head of the Zhang family is an official in the south, next to the head of the Ning family, and there is a little contradiction between them.

The Ning family couldn't deal with the head of the Zhang family, so they hit the idea on the Zhang family's Zhuang family, and it was less than ten days after the fight, and the Zhang family started it, like a storm, do you know why?

The Zhang family is telling other people that if they have the ability to cause trouble, they will deal with the head of the Zhang family directly, don't take down the people on the side to talk about things, there is no difference between the subordinates of the Zhang family and the head of the Zhang family, and the revenge is the same, the Ning family is finished, and no one helps the Ning family speak.

Other merchants are because they have a connection with the Zhang family, and the people of the court not only look at who has money, but also see who has great ability, and the ability of the head of the Zhang family to govern the place cannot be compared with a hundred Ningzhong. ”

"Huh? So that's it? But can you want me? Li Sheng understands now, he can't change anything, adults fight, children better stay away.

"Yes, you don't know the way the Zhang family acts, no matter what kind of business they do, they will find the local people, they never directly bully a certain store, they always unite first, unless the store provokes them, even if they are provoked, they are not afraid, the store is gone, and the local guy Zhang will be responsible for taking over.

Because of this, the imperial court did not care, the Zhang family not only has a restaurant, but also a variety of other shops, open somewhere, will recruit local people to work, even if it is farming, wherever there is a Zhang family shop, the people's life will be better.

Go ahead, you say you're a buddy from Nanfeng Building, and they'll be able to arrange it for you, and if you do a good job, maybe they'll let you stand alone and send you overseas to be the steward of a certain place. ”

As he spoke, the man took a piece of fried melon slices with shrimp and put it on the old man's plate, and lowered his head to eat it.

Li Sheng didn't expect such a result, and after being happy, he suddenly reacted, "Guest officer, how do you know so clearly?" ”

The man only laughed and said nothing.

The guys who do things for the Ning family are not worried, but the head of the Ning family in Qinzhou is worried.

As long as the family's property is not in Qinzhou, all of them have been hit, even if the news has not been transmitted back from further away, Ning Zhong does not have the slightest luck.

Especially the shops near the left side of the capital, which are the foundation of the Zhang family, have been suppressed elsewhere, and the surrounding areas of the capital will not run away.

"It's over, it's completely over, whether the official can keep it or not, the status of the family is gone."

After Ning Zhong got the news back one by one, he immediately knew the seriousness of the matter, and looked at the housekeeper standing there, this time he really had no way to put the responsibility on the housekeeper.

In the past, the family knew what was going on, so it was tacit, but now the shops in the family have been suppressed one by one, and the family will not be satisfied with only one housekeeper pushing it out.

"What to do? What am I going to do? Ning Zhong sat there slumped, muttering the same thing incessantly.

The housekeeper sighed beside him, he didn't expect the Zhang family to react so violently, he would rather lose money than break the Ning family's business, originally wanted to use this means to force the Zhang family to make concessions, but the result was good, but the Zhang family couldn't bear it at all.

The master can't collapse, if the master collapses, he will be finished.

"Master, why don't you go to the master's house and say that it's the idea of the small one, sir, you have a fold, say good things about Zhang Zhong, and ask the court to allow you to go to Luzhou to study, and compromise with Zhang Zhong? The construction of Luzhou is almost over, Zhang Zhong should go, and when he leaves, it is not what the master said? ”

"It's useless, Zhang Zhong has done it, the Zhang family has lost so much money in order to suppress us, how can they agree to let go? If it were you, would you be able to do it? If it was before, it's okay to say, not to mention that my fold has already been sent, Zhang Zhong just waited for the opportunity, and it was finally delivered to him.

I can't figure it out, Zhang Zhong is in charge of the lives of the local people, collecting local products for his family, and on the other hand, he has made a few new deals, as well as the construction of Luzhou, how can he free up his hands to deal with me?

One by one, Zhang Zhong didn't worry about it at all, and solved it lightly, I don't feel that he is against me, he is like playing with me, fighting, I led the troops over, just say that there are fugitives, see if Zhang Zhong still has the heart to play with me? ”

Zhang Zhong was ruthless and wanted to make dangerous moves.

"Master, I can't help it, you must not lead troops, then you will fall into Zhang Zhong's plan, not to mention whether Zhang Ji is afraid or not, the court will not allow it, lord, think twice, lord, it is better to spend more money and send it to the people in the court, so that they can get Zhang Zhong away as soon as possible."

The butler dissuaded and gave an idea.

On Luzhou's side, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also discussed, how to let his father leave early, it is best to farm before the New Year, no matter where he goes, he must farm at the beginning of spring, leave early and be busy with spring ploughing.
