"Steward Liu, the business of our store seems to be ...... recently. Not so good?"

Liu Meimei was at her post, looking at the few scattered customers in the store, she pulled Liu Dong back.

It's noon, usually at this time her vegetable section has been sold out, and she is going to have new goods, but not only is there no new goods today, but the vegetables were not sold out yesterday afternoon, and she was a little puzzled.

Liu Dong also discovered this problem, not only in the vegetable area, but also in other things in the shop, which is not normal!

"You hold your place first, and I'll go out and inquire and see what's going on. ”

He had been in the city for so long, and he knew a lot of people from various prefectures to buy, and since yesterday, he hadn't seen them come to buy anything, so he would see if he could ask.

After Liu Dong explained the things in the store, he went out, he went to a few restaurants first, large and small restaurants are their customers, and the amount of requests is large, he went to ask them first.

"Is Shopkeeper Zhao here?"

Liu Dong stepped into a small restaurant, and half of the people eating in the restaurant were seated, but they all looked like they hadn't eaten well.

"Boss" A guest couldn't bear it, threw the chopsticks in his hand, and called the boss, "Boss, look at what dishes you are cooking today, can you eat it?"

This restaurant is a mom-and-pop restaurant, the proprietress is in charge of serving the food and paying the bill, and the owner cooks the dishes in the back kitchen.

"Master, what's wrong with our dishes?" The proprietress herself knows that the person who cooks the dishes is still her husband, so she firmly believes that cooking skills are no problem!

"What's the problem?" the man pointed to the dishes on the table and asked loudly: "You don't know how to see if you have eyes, look at what you fried today, is this dish for people to eat?"

"That's right!" the guests at the other tables couldn't help but complain, "This thing is for pigs!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have wronged us by saying this, this dish is the same as before, and it is still our Lao Zhao who cooks the dishes, what's the problem?"

The proprietress explained to them with a smile.

"Your previous dishes were not only radish and cabbage, why are they all these two things today? Also, what about the salted duck eggs I want? If you don't serve them to me, how can I eat!"

Most of them are doing hard work, and they come to eat in this small restaurant just for convenience, and they can't afford to eat at Wanfu Tavern, so doesn't this small restaurant take them seriously?

"This master, I'm really sorry, there are no salted duck eggs today, do you want to change something else?"

"What else can you change? This dish is fried like this, what else can be changed!"

"This ......" The proprietress is also embarrassed, she also wants to make the dishes in the store, but everyone in the city doesn't dare to buy that delicious dish now!

"Forget it, let's go! I don't believe it, there is no other restaurant in the city where you can eat!" the guest waved his hand and took the brothers away.

The small restaurant that was only half of the restaurant was originally seated, but now it is more than half, and the few guests left behind are not enough for their expenses today!

"Master, I'm sorry, you go slowly, come back later!" The proprietress was helpless, the dishes on this table were all served, but she didn't receive a penny, she couldn't do anything except helplessness.

"Boss lady", Liu Dong saw that the boss lady was free, so he stepped forward to talk to her.

"You are ......" The proprietress saw Liu Dong and felt familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was for a while.

"Boss, I am the shopkeeper of Cheng's Department Store, Liu Dong", Liu Dong introduced himself, her husband used to go to the store to buy a lot, and occasionally she would do it once, so it was normal for her not to recognize him.

"Are you from Cheng's Department Store?" Hearing this, the proprietress suddenly felt a little embarrassed on her face, "Is Shopkeeper Liu here for dinner?"

"No, no", Liu Dong refused her invitation and said, "I'm here to do an investigation, I want to ask the boss, are you satisfied with our goods?"

"We are naturally satisfied with your Cheng family's goods!" The proprietress nodded affirmatively, since they bought the Cheng family's dishes, the business in the store has been much better!

"Boss, it's good if you're satisfied, then this ......" Liu Dong glanced at the dishes of the guests who left just now, those dishes were not from their Cheng family.

"This is the leftovers of the guests", the proprietress knew that Liu Dong wanted to ask why the dishes on this table were not theirs, but she refused to say, just pretended to be stupid and mixed up.

She stepped forward to clean up the table, and gave Liu Dong an eviction order while cleaning up, "Shopkeeper Liu, I still have something to do here, so I won't greet you, you can do it." ”

When Liu Dong saw this, he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he turned around and left.

He later went to a few restaurants, no matter how big or small, there was no use of the Cheng family's goods on their tables, and the business was also complained by the guests.

But no matter how much he asked, those people were the same as the previous boss lady, they didn't answer him directly, they just found an excuse to send him away.

Liu Dong walked around, and now the restaurants in the entire city, except for Wanfu Tavern, no other taverns have bought their things, even Chunguilou.

They would rather offend the guests and lose business than buy the goods of the Cheng family, and this night, everyone seemed to have said yes, which was incomprehensible.

"Steward Liu, how are you inquiring?"

When Liu Dong came back in the evening, the employees of the store were waiting for him in the backyard, and when they saw him coming in through the side door, everyone gathered around.

Seeing Liu Dong shaking his head, with a helpless expression, he looked at everyone and asked, "What's the news in the store today?"

He explained to them when he went out, and he also paid attention to communicating with customers in the store, and inquired about it from the side.

"No," the crowd shook their heads.

They didn't have anything to gain today, they didn't know what was going on, it looked like something was going on in the city, but they didn't know where it was happening and what was happening.

......

Liu Dong thought that the bleak business in the store was only temporary, after all, he had seen those customers not buy other people's accounts before, and he thought that they couldn't help it, and the business would come back.

But it's been several days, and the business in the store still hasn't improved, and even the scattered customers from before have disappeared.

He couldn't find out the reason, and he didn't know how to tell Cheng Yangyang, so he was delayed for several days, and his hair fell out a lot.

But paper can't contain the fire, Cheng Yangyang also found out in the past two days, Wang Tong sent fewer and fewer goods, and the people in the duck factory began to be idle, she sensed that something was wrong, so she found time to go to the city.

Since the last time Feng Gui happened, many people in the city have known her, and when they saw her enter the city, everyone pointed at her.

"It's her, she's the owner of Cheng's Department Store. ”

"This is the female overlord mentioned in the article?

Well?

It was the first time for Cheng Yangyang to enter the city and be pointed at, and she didn't know what was going on!
