Tang Xiu strode into the first floor of Dingxiang Building, looking up and down leisurely and appreciating the structural layout of the first floor, and the guys in the restaurant who were in charge of greeting guests in and out also noticed his presence, but to Tang Xiu's surprise, these shopkeepers who greeted other guests with a smile turned a blind eye to him, and did not have the slightest intention of coming up to greet him.

What's going on? Do they all know that Lao Tzu doesn't have half a dime in his pocket?

The feeling of being looked down upon is really uncomfortable, Tang Xiu's face looks a little ugly, and there is no longer the leisure and leisure of visiting ancient restaurants.

At this time, Tang Lu followed with a vegetable basket, seeing this situation, he was afraid that Tang Xiu's temper would come up and make trouble here, so he stepped forward and persuaded him: "Young master, now almost the entire Taiyuan Mansion knows that our Tang family has declined, and these dog-eyed things all recognize the young master, so naturally they are reluctant to come over to greet them." ”

"Besides," Tang Lu suddenly lowered his voice and said in Tang Xiu's ear, "We really don't have any money left in our pockets, or just forget it, young master, it's still too late to leave." ”

Tang Xiu used to be a frequent visitor here, and every time relatives and friends were invited to a banquet, he would come to Dingxiang Building, because before the Tang family was broken, Tang Xiu had always been the object of competition among these restaurant guys.

But now, the situation is stronger than people, the phoenix that sheds its hair is not as good as a chicken, and who will bird you if you have no money in your pocket?

"The salted fish still has a turning day, how can people have no luck? When everyone is frustrated, do they think that I Tang Ziyou will never turn over again? Tang Xiu shook his head lightly and said lightly: "Just the service attitude of these guys, Dingxiang Building can only be the first in Taiyuan Mansion at most, it's a pity!" ”

"Alright, since we're not welcome here, let's go." After taking a deep look at the counter shopkeeper not far away, Tang Xiu greeted Tang Lu, turned around and left.

I thought that the shopkeeper would be able to come out and save him when he heard his words, which is a common routine for doing business, and it has been tried and tested.

But this time, Tang Xiu was destined to be disappointed, until he walked out of the door of Dingxiang Building, the shopkeeper still stayed at the counter and didn't move.

When he got to the door, when Tang Xiu looked back at the shopkeeper, he saw that the shopkeeper was sneering at him with disdain, and when he saw Tang Xiu looking back at him, the smile on the shopkeeper's face was even worse, and he even picked his nose at Tang Xiu to show his disdain.

"Do you recognize the shopkeeper?"

Tang Lu glanced back and replied casually: "Wang Shoucai, he is the big shopkeeper on the first floor of Dingxiang Building, when the young master came in the past, he was the first to stand up and wait in front of the saddle, and the young master also rewarded him. ”

"Wang Shoucai is a well-known shopkeeper in Dingxianglou, and the young master's trick is so that even the villain can see it, let alone him? It's just that I didn't expect him to not even give the young master a little face, which was really excessive. ”

"Oh."

Tang Xiu nodded lightly and didn't say anything more, Tang Lu's words were not tactful at all, but since even a brain like Tang Lu could see his desire to capture and indulge, it showed that he had done it obviously enough, since Wang Shoucai did not cherish this opportunity to stay, Tang Xiu also cut off any possibility of cooperating with Dingxianglou in the future.

The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, just looking at the attitude of these guys and shopkeepers in Dingxianglou, it is estimated that their owners are not much better.

"They missed an opportunity to keep the No. 1 restaurant in Taiyuan Mansion and get out of Taiyuan, and after today, they will definitely regret it."

Standing in front of the door of Dingxianglou, Tang Xiu no longer had the slightest intention of being angry and resentful, and did not welcome him Tang Ziyou into the restaurant, it was the loss of their Dingxianglou, Tang Xiu couldn't be angry about it, Tang Xiu had always been full of confidence in the vegetables he had grown.

"Young Master, can we go back now?"

Tang Lu ignored what Tang Xiu said, what he was most concerned about now was when they would be able to return home, he was still hungry until now, and he didn't know if Sister Wan'er had left him dinner.

"It's still early, take me to other restaurants to have a look!"

"Yes, young master!"

Tang Lu replied weakly, and then carried the basket and took Tang Xiu from street to street, second, third, and fourth......

Every time he takes advantage of the excitement, every time he comes out of the excitement, Tang Xiu is now like an annoying fly, no one who sees it will not be welcome, the better ones will directly ignore and ignore it, the bad ones will squeeze and ridicule the evil words, and even one will even directly blast Tang Xiu's master and servant out of the store.

"How so? Shouldn't it? ”

Tang Xiu was puzzled, even if he really didn't have any money, he wouldn't be turned away by every restaurant? Is he really annoying to the point where everyone shouts and beats him like this?

"Young master, forget it." After being kicked out of the hotel for the eighth time, Tang Lu finally couldn't help but persuade again: "Whether it's for dinner or something else, people won't give us a chance to open our mouths at all, and if we continue to toss like this, the result will be the same, why don't we go back?" ”

"Tang Lu!"

Tang Xiu turned around suddenly, stared at Tang Lu's eyes sharply and asked, "Tell me honestly, why do all these hotels avoid me like snakes and scorpions, and hate me like maggots?" I don't remember a lot of things, but I know, you know why! ”

"Uh......"

Being stared at by Tang Xiu like this, Tang Lu's eyes were a little evasive, the brutal impression that Tang Xiu had left in his heart before could be said to be deep in the bone marrow, and now seeing Tang Xiu's anger, Tang Lu's body trembled a little unconsciously.

Seeing that it had an effect, Tang Xiu deliberately frowned and shouted: "Say!" ”

"Actually...... In fact, it's not a big deal, it's Uncle Shi who said that he would keep it secret from the young master, so he ...... I haven't let the young master know about ......"

"What the hell is going on, tell!"

"Just a month ago, the young master had eaten in almost all the famous restaurants in Taiyuan Mansion, and they ordered their signature dishes, the price of each table was more than consistent, and some even had five or ten times, such a big customer, they rarely met one in a month or even half a year, so it is not strange for them to remember the appearance of the young master."

"There's more to it, but what else?"

"What's more, except for the big restaurants with some backgrounds, such as Dingxiang Building and Changxiang Pavilion, the other thirty or so families, the young master all kept accounts in the name of the Tang family and the Tang family medical hall, and did not pay on the spot."

"Because the young master is somewhat famous in Taiyuan Mansion, many restaurant shopkeepers are no strangers to the young master, plus the reputation of our Tang Mansion was not bad at that time, and the news of the medical hall being sold has not yet spread, so I ......"

Hearing this, the corners of Tang Xiu's mouth twitched violently.

Thinking of the current situation of the Tang Mansion, and then estimating Tang Xiu's ability to lose, it is estimated that the finances in the Tang Mansion were not much better a month ago. There is no money in hand, but there is still a lot of food and drink all over the world, there are more than 30 hotels, how many are there in the entire Taiyuan Mansion? How stupid does this have to be to do such a thing?

Wonderful, wonderful!

Tang Xiu suddenly felt that he had a little headache, no wonder all the hotels in this house treated him like this, this person was about to be thrown to his grandmother's house!

"How did this matter end up? Who paid for those meals? ”

Tang Xiu couldn't help but ask again, he wasn't beaten to death by these hotel guys today, it was obvious that the matter had come to an end.

"It was Uncle Shi who sold his own land and took out most of the savings he had accumulated over the years, and finally helped the young master fill this big hole, for this reason, several sons and daughters-in-law of Uncle Shi's family all turned their faces with Uncle Shi and moved back to their hometown with the rest of the money."

"I see......"

A trace of warmth rose in Tang Xiu's heart, such a good housekeeper was hard to find with a lantern, why hadn't he met one in his previous life?

"Everything Uncle Shi has done for the Tang family for me, I, Tang Xiu, have all in mind, and when the Tang family rises again, I will definitely double the compensation!"

Tang Xiu raised his hand and patted Tang Lu's shoulder, and said in a fixed voice: "And what we have to do tonight is the first step in the rise of the Tang family!" ”
