Chapter 72: Ulterior motives
Goose City is a small place, with a limited economic level, and compared with big cities, it is a poor and remote area. A mere eight yuan stones may not be anything in the eyes of outsiders, but in Goose City, it is already a high price.
If you eat like this, even if Niu Huan, who opened a money bank, has a lot of money, he can't help but complain, which is a lot of money.
Therefore, Cao Xianyu's words are not wrong, Wu Bencao's cooking skills are definitely worth this price, not that he sells it expensive, but that the people of Goose City are poor and can't afford to consume. As long as he is willing to open a store in a big city, he will make more money than he does now.
But the problem is that speaking is an art, and it is not only necessary to tell the truth to be reasonable, but also to consider the occasion and the object of speaking.
Saying to the poor that you have no money and can't afford to eat is challenging everyone's dignity. What's more, listening to Cao Xianyu's tone, it is not like a local, saying contemptuous words of "Goose City is such a big place", it is bound to cause public anger.
Several men walked up to Niu Huan's side, rolled up their sleeves, and had the posture of teaching Cao Xianyu a lesson, and the atmosphere in the store was suddenly tense.
Seeing this, Wu Bencao couldn't help but feel a headache.
Cao Xianyu's words did not lose his respect for him, he did not hesitate to praise him, and he was a loyal fan of him, so he did not want to turn his face with this person and offend a supporter. He did think about leaving Goose City in the next year.
But for now, he can't let the two sides clash in the store, and he must stand up and be a peacemaker.
One fan is top and ten black, and he is in a dilemma with this kind of trouble-provocative fan, sandwiching him in the middle.
He coughed dryly and said softly, "Thank you for your love." The business of the small shop is booming, and I am grateful that my parents and fellow villagers take care of it. Although Goose City is small, the local people are simple and simple, and there are customs and customs that are incomparable to big cities. ”
He was caught in the middle, and there was no other way but to support his hometown, and he couldn't be looked down upon by outsiders.
Unexpectedly, Cao Xianyu smiled faintly, and did not sell him face, so he stopped, but continued: "The people are simple? Not necessarily, I heard that the three major families in the city have repeatedly harassed your store before, and they have used all kinds of methods, is this also simple?"
Wu Bencao frowned and was silent, not understanding what this person wanted to do when he was killed halfway.
Cao Xianyu intensified, "Boss Wu is broad-minded and kind, I admire it very much." If it were me, I would have avenged my sister, and I would have sent my sister away first, killed in the city, got rid of the enemies who threatened me, and then flew away and went to a bigger world!"
Wu Bencao didn't say anything.
In fact, on the day the Qiao family blew up the wormwood bar, he considered this plan, but in the end he did not adopt it and accepted the sum of the three major families.
The reason is very simple, his current cultivation is still too low, no matter where he goes, he can't change the situation of the weak, and he can't even get along with the small goose city, can he avoid being bullied if he goes to a big place?
For him, what he needs most is room for growth, in comparison, it is safer to stay in Goose City, the three major families feel jealous, he has time to accumulate strength and gradually rise, instead of directly facing a higher-level martial arts powerhouse.
Freedom always belongs to the strong, and if it doesn't become strong, it will be the same wherever it goes.
At least before stepping into the second realm, it was too hasty to choose to leave his hometown and go outside to meet the bigger wind and waves.
Therefore, he stayed sensibly and did not fight with the three major families.
Cao Xianyu mentioned this stubble, it sounded like it was for his good, what was his intention?
Niu Huan squinted his eyes when he heard the name, and asked, "Boy, where are you from, and who sent you here?" From the time you opened your mouth to the present, you have been beating around the bush, saying that Goose City is not good, could it be that you want to dig the foot of the wall and incite Boss Wu to leave?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Persuade Wu Bencao to leave Goose City? If he leaves, even if they are willing to spend money in the future, where will they be able to buy such delicious and wonderful medicinal food? This scholar is young, and it turns out that he wants to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and he has great evil intentions!
Wu Bencao thought thoughtfully and continued to watch coldly.
In the face of Niu Huan's questioning, Cao Xianyu was noncommittal, and sneered: "What, now I can't bear Boss Wu again? Who are the people complaining about the expensive food in the store just now? Boss Wu is willing to sell it to you, that is to look up to you, don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing!"
Niu Huan was speechless.
This young man's words are not rough, and the reason is not rough, Wu Bencao is willing to open a store in Goose City, which may be a threat to the three major families, but for the vast majority of Goose City people, it is a great good thing to be able to eat such a delicious food for money.
If you can't afford it, shut up!
Cao Xianyu got up, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the counter to pay the money, and his tone was very polite, "Boss Wu, please have a purple dragon noodles, I want to see if it really has the magic effect of opening the seven veins!"
Wu Bencao was inconvenient to say anything, so he put the money in the cabinet and went to the back kitchen to cook.
After a while, he and Wang Xiang carried the dishes and delivered them to the customers' tables in an orderly manner.
"Everyone, please slow down. ”
After he returned to the counter, he stared at Cao Xianyu without a trace, to see what tricks this person would play.
I saw Cao Xianyu pick up the chopsticks, like yesterday, his demeanor was still elegant, gently picked up a knife to cut the noodles, and patiently blew it cold before sending it to his mouth and chewing it carefully.
This series of movements was so soft that it even gave Wu Bencao the illusion that he was watching a fair lady eat.
"This person is a little interesting, don't go to practice the Sunflower Treasure Book, it's a pity ......"
The shop fell silent, and everyone buried their heads in eating noodles, intoxicated by the wonderful state, and gradually forgot about the dispute just now. After eating the noodles, they all followed Wang Xiang to the bed next door to meditate, preparing to open their pulses and cultivate.
Only Cao Xianyu ate slowly and seriously, and put the noodles into his mouth one by one, as if he would be struck by lightning if he ate two at once, and showed great patience. Those who don't know must think that he is grinding time.
There were only two people left in the store, and even time was slowing down.
Wu Bencao held his cheeks, watched Cao Xianyu finish eating, and asked, "How does it taste?"
Cao Xianyu put down his chopsticks, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, slowly wiped the corners of his mouth, and said: "Two words are enough to describe, superb! Such perfect noodles and soup, but sold at a low price to these babies at the bottom of the well who don't know how to be grateful, don't you think it's a pity?"
He was still continuing the tone he had just had, and only the two of them were left talking, and there was more interesting meaning in the words.
Wu Bencao blinked, "Now that you've finished eating, it's time to prepare to open your pulse." ”
Cao Xianyu said calmly: "Can't you see my cultivation? Or are you giving an order to evict guests?"
When Wu Bencao heard this, his heart lit up.
Sure enough, this scholar doesn't need to open his pulse, he is already a powerhouse in the second realm!
He glanced at Xiao Yu, who was lying in the corner of the wall and pretending to sleep, and said, "Since you have finished eating and there is nothing else to do, I will clean up next, and the shop is ready to close." ”
Cao Xianyu was still sitting there, unmoved, and said softly, "Let's talk." ”
