Chapter 13: The Secret Fight
The expected thing finally came, and Shen Wuyan also guessed that Shen Wuliang not only sold Shen Yuan, but also mortgaged his house, so that even if they survived until the Hu Family Restaurant closed later, it would take many years to recover. [Ran^Text^Library] []γRan Library(7764)γ
At this time, hearing what the Lu family said, Shen Wuyan pretended to be curious: "What is the origin of the Hu family restaurant, the newly opened store is so arrogant. Eldest brother, you said how much silver you need, and I will ask Yue'er to pay you in the account. β
Shen Wuliang waited for this sentence, he understood that this younger brother was a human being, but he was soft-hearted, and he couldn't help crying, the family was like this before, and it is still like this now, it is really tried and tested.
"It probably takes about 1,000 taels of silver to ensure that the Hu family restaurant is closed and gone." was talking excitedly, Shen Wuliang suddenly found that Shen Wuyan's expression was wrong, and then said with a pitiful look: "In this way, my father can feel at ease." β
Shen Wuyan pursed his lips, looked at Lu Shi with interest, and said, "One thousand taels is not a small amount, although the business of the teahouse has gradually improved recently, but it has not been able to save too much silver...... I'm afraid a thousand taels won't work. β
"Out of the way." Shen Wuliang hurriedly said: "Actually, four or five hundred taels of silver can last for a while, but I heard that Wuyan recently made a sobering eight-guest milk tea or something, I think...... I think it would be better to sell it in a restaurant. β
Hearing Shen Wuliang say this, Yue'er suddenly became overjoyed, and she was already worried about finding a larger restaurant to help distribute milk tea in order to expand her influence. The Shen Family Restaurant is ready-made, and it seems that it can be done without spending too much silver.
Shen Wuyan swept Yue'er with a happy face, he knew that Yue'er thought of this, but he didn't say it.
Because he also knew that Shen Wuliang's purpose was not as simple as helping him sell. Now that milk tea has aroused the interest of many customers, once it is officially sold in the Shen Family Restaurant, then the business of the attached restaurant will gradually improve, which is indeed a good idea.
"The output of milk tea can't go up now, let alone in a high-end place like the Shen Family Restaurant, even the supply of my tea house is a little insufficient, so ...... At most, he could only spend three hundred taels of silver to lend to the eldest brother for use first. β
Speaking of this, the faces of Shen Wuliang and the others became gloomy. The actual purpose of the two of them coming today is to let Shen Wuyan only supply milk tea to the Shen Family Restaurant, so that the restaurant can maintain its customer source without reducing the price.
ββ¦β¦ It's not impossible, I can spend more money to buy materials, but it's too risky, and I don't have that much money now, if the eldest brother is willing...... I mean, you can mortgage the restaurant first. β
Saying this, Shen Wuliang finally understood what Shen Wuyan meant, and he suddenly sneered and said, "Wuyan, if you want a restaurant, you can mention it when you split up, why do you want to be like this now?" β
After all, this question is still too vague, Yue'er and Lu Shi both understand part of it, but they haven't understood what the problems of the previous conversation between the two are, and they are both a little dazed for a while.
Shen Wuyan knew very well that Shen Wuliang was really forced to be anxious. That's fine, once people are not calm, then there will be more loopholes, he smiled lightly: "Actually, the restaurant is in charge of you or me, it's still my Shen family." If the eldest brother is unwilling, then it won't be long before the restaurant will be handed over to someone else. β
Whether it is Shen Wuliang or Lu Shi Yue'er, they all understand this truth. Now the Shen family restaurant is seriously in deficit, and one day it will lose money when it sells the shop, and everything will be over at that time.
"Actually, I'm not so pessimistic at all, I'm just keeping the title deed of the restaurant for the time being, the restaurant is still run by the eldest brother and sister-in-law, except for the profit of milk tea, I don't take a penny for the rest, and if you have money in the future, the restaurant is still yours."
Shen Wuyan had already planned for a long time, and knew that there would be this result from the day he learned that Hujia Restaurant had begun to reduce prices, until recently, the sales of milk tea have increased, and the fame in Suzhou has gradually emerged, so there is no need to hesitate.
"Actually, this is all a matter of pushing the boat, if the eldest brother has so many ideas, then I can give you the silver, and you can continue to fight the price with the Hu family restaurant, but can you know how much silver the Hu family has to support in the back?"
Originally, everything before was unwilling, but as Shen Wuyan's almost words gradually shattered, Shen Wuliang knew that he had lost this time, in the hands of this younger brother who used to look stupid.
"Then I will do it according to what you said without words, when do you plan to supply milk tea to the restaurant, I will go back and prepare in advance."
Hearing Shen Wuliang's compromise, Shen Wuyan just shook his head and said, "Don't worry about these things, I also need to go and see where the Hu family came from, but there is another matter to deal with now." β
Originally, she was recording the conversation between Shen Wuyan and Shen Wuliang, but when she suddenly heard this, she suddenly realized that the next situation seemed to be very bad. Especially myself, how to deal with it.
Sure enough, Shen Wuyan looked at Lu Shi with a smile on his face, Lu Shi's expression suddenly became gloomy, she felt a trace of coolness from her eyes full of smiles, this matter seemed to be very unfavorable to herself, she hurriedly said: "I have treated you all these years ......"
Shen Wuyan waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me, and I will definitely not forget my sister-in-law's kindness to me." It's just that a month ago, you seemed to have slapped Yue'er, and now you want to pay it back, the interest will be waived, and the slap will be returned. β
"This ......"
Shen Wuliang looked a little hesitant, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Yue'er is also a maid no matter what she says, how can she let her beat your sister-in-law, this matter is going to spread out, how can your sister-in-law meet people?" β
In his previous life, Shen Wuyan's biggest advantage was that he had a good memory, so he could remember a lot of things, such as what hatred and injustice he had to remember very clearly, and then find an opportunity to return it together.
"If my sister-in-law has beaten me before, I won't pay it back, but this slap still has to be returned. I think my eldest brother has learned over the years that the important thing for a businessman is integrity, so don't be polite. β
After saying this, Shen Wuyan pulled Yue'er in front of Lu's side, and he said with a smile: "I happened to be settling accounts today, so let's pay it back together, otherwise Yue'er, this girl, will hold a grudge, and she won't be able to hide the deed of the restaurant in the future, which will not be good......"
"Okay."
Lu Shi stared at Shen Wuyan with a flushed face, and she said coldly: "Yue'er, you come to fight, this slap will go down, you and I will be clear, I hope you don't hold grudges in the future." β
Yue'er is kind by nature, this situation is very messy in her eyes, although she also hates the Lu family in her heart, and she can't wait to beat her, but after all, she still endured it, and it is not the first time she has been beaten over the years, so why care.
At this time, hearing what Lu Shi said, Yue'er was even more anxious: "Young master, I think it's okay, the eldest young grandmother is unintentional when she thinks about it, and besides, Yue'er was at fault that day, so I won't pursue it." β
Shen Wuyan naturally knew Yue'er's temperament, and when she heard her say this, he smiled lightly: "Since Yue'er said forget it, then I won't fight today." β¦β¦ It's just that you can't just forget it, so let's remember it first. β
Since she didn't fight, Lu Shi was naturally happy, and remembered that Yue'er could really beat herself, she threw a trace of gratitude to Yue'er, and said in a low voice: "I did have a little too much before, Yue'er must not care." β
For Shen Wuyan, this slap is not the goal, what he really wants to do is to make the Lu family grateful to Yue'er, so if there is anything in the future, the Lu family is not embarrassed by Yue'er, it can be regarded as a personal favor.
All this is very clear in Shen Wuliang's eyes, but today there are people who ask for it, and he can only pretend to be a fool once, but this humiliation will also be remembered first, and he will definitely return it in the future.
His calm gaze swept over Shen Wuyan and Yue'er, and then showed great gratitude, and said to Shen Wuyan: "The Shen family restaurant depends on you without your help, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know yet...... Alas, don't talk about that. β
β¦β¦
After sending Shen Wuliang and the others away, Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Shen Wuyan pitifully and said bitterly: "Actually, I still hate her in my heart, I took away most of the family wealth, so I left an empty shop for the young master, I really want to beat her." Just think about it, now they are pitiful ....... β
"Yue'er's temperament is actually very disadvantaged." Shen Wuyan looked at the two people who disappeared at the entrance of the alley and said lightly.
Yue'er heard the meaning of protecting the shortness in Shen Wuyan's words, and couldn't help but feel sweetness in her heart, and smiled: "What about suffering?" As long as the young master doesn't suffer a loss, what does Yue'er get if she suffers a loss. In fact, if that slap is going to be beaten, the young grandmother and the eldest young master will definitely hate the young master, and they can't do this. β
Originally, I thought that Yue'er was kind by nature, and she was timid about the Lu family, so she didn't dare to do it, but now it doesn't sound like this, but it is for the sake of not being hated, so she didn't start, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
Then Shen Wuyan thought of some things he had seen on the counter this morning, so he thought of something else.
"In the morning, I saw you copy the story I told you......"
The days still pass a little slowly, sometimes I feel bored, Shen Wuyan will also tell some stories to Yue'er, and many stories are not suitable for the girl's mind. So Shen Wuyan told Yue'er about Old Man Cao's "Dream of Red Mansions" hundreds of years later.
At first, it was just to pass the time, what he said was interesting, and Yue'er was very happy to listen to it, but this morning, Shen Wuyan found out that Yue'er had written everything he said.
"If you want to write it down, I'll be able to read it again."
Yue'er replied and said, "Yue'er told that story to a friend from the same township before, and she liked it very much. It's just that she's been a little busy lately and can't come over to listen, so she can only copy it down and show it to her. β¦β¦ I heard that she worked as a maid in a wealthy businessman, but I don't know which one. β
