Chapter 17: Just a Cook
The fat man known as Niu Sanye, named Niu Huan, is the owner of Tongfu Qianzhuang, and in the words of the earth, he is the financial giant of Goose City.
This person is very brainy, and his arithmetic ability is amazing, and it is said that the speed of mental arithmetic can rival that of five bookkeepers, which can be called a human spirit. This business tycoon has always had a heart problem, that is, when he was young, he failed to become the lucky one of the three percent of the Kaimai Dan, and he had no chance with martial arts for the rest of his life.
Even so, he still relied on his economic acumen and the family's strong financial resources to make the money bank business bigger and bigger, and occupy a place in the upper echelons of Goose City. Martial cultivation is certainly powerful, but in such a small place, it is not that you can't get along without cultivation.
He was originally dead set on martial arts and had long lost hope, however, at the concubine's banquet last night, he heard that a new wormwood bar had opened on Hanzheng Street, selling a magical soup that could make people reopen their pulses. This news was like a clear spring, moistening his long-dried heart.
He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, and he didn't even touch the charming and delicate concubine, and sat on the chair and waited for dawn, and then hurried to lead people to come.
He wants to come to drink soup, solve the problem of not being able to open the pulse, and fulfill his dream of martial arts practice.
At this time, hearing the taunt of the thin man, Niu Huan snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "I'm not a strict wife, and I marry a concubine who enters the door, when will I not be able to see through?" Unlike you, Lao Ma, who guards the yellow-faced woman every day, and doesn't dare to taste any meat." ”
The thin man's name was Ma Zhongyong, and he was poked in the sore spot in public, and his face turned green in an instant.
His situation is similar to Niu Huan, he is also a wealthy businessman with a head and a face in Goose City, his family is big, he can do anything, but he can't practice. In the martial arts world, men can't practice, especially for these big guys, it's a great pity.
Therefore, when he heard the news, he also rushed here, and today he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, even if he drank 180 bowls of the soup of hope, he would be cured of the problem of not being able to practice.
He looked arrogant and said provocatively: "You only have the ability to be stubborn, and after you succeed in opening the pulse, do you dare to fight with me on the spot?"
Since he couldn't practice, he had been hiding behind his bodyguards all these years, and he had no ability to fight with people. And now, the divine soup of the wormwood bar is expected to help him open his pulse, and he is eager to live the addiction of martial arts duels.
Niu Huan smiled indifferently, didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked to the front of the steps, and bowed his hand to Wu Bencao, with a respectful posture, not daring to be arrogant.
"In Xiacheng Nanniuhuan, I heard that Boss Wu has superb cooking skills, and the soup of hope is extremely delicious, so I came to taste it today. When we meet for the first time, we are slightly courteous, not respectful. ”
As soon as he raised his hand, his subordinates immediately held the gift box and sent it to Wu Bencao.
He is worthy of being a veteran in the business field, he is very good at being a person, and he can see that Wu Materia Medica is not a thing in the pool, whether the pulse is successful or not, first form a good fate, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless.
Wu Bencao decisively refused, "Mr. Niu doesn't have to be polite. I open the door to do business, I get what I pay for, I don't need to be grateful, and I don't need to accept anyone's affection, you just pay according to the price. ”
After saying that, he turned his head to look at the crowd behind him, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you for patronizing the business, Wormwood Bar has a rule, and only sells twenty bowls of soup a day." Friends at the back of the line, welcome to come back another day. ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd became more and more turbulent, and the sound was like a tide, if it was not for the guards of the wealthy merchants, I was afraid that they would rush into the store and even break the threshold. But there is no way, these wealthy businessmen are rich and powerful, occupy the front, and lock in twenty places in advance.
Wu Bencao raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Taking advantage of the large number of people now, I want to explain. Please don't get me wrong, yesterday's opening of the pulse was seven out of nine, pure coincidence, and the actual probability of success is only fifty percent. ”
He clarified in public that he was not demolishing his own platform, but saying ugly things in front.
Among these people present, there are many vicious people, and once they fail to open their pulses, they are not as lucky as yesterday's guests, and they may not be willing to consider themselves unlucky. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, they will spill their resentment on Wu Bencao, blaming today's soup for not working.
Therefore, Wu Materia Medica first made his words clear and left room for himself.
Ma Zhongyong felt impatient, and didn't take the young man in his eyes, and said coldly: "Boy, don't be verbose here, the rules are already clear to everyone, you hurry up and serve the food, there will be no less money!"
In his opinion, the chef is just a lowly slave who does not deserve his respect, as long as he pays, Wu Bencao has to serve the food obediently and serve him to his satisfaction, otherwise, he can let people smash this shop as soon as he gives an order.
After saying this, he walked to the store with his hands in his hands, followed by more than a dozen bodyguards.
"Wait!"
Wu Bencao shouted in a deep voice, and quickly realized that he must hold up his waist pole today, stand up in public, and not let the guests put on a master's style and dictate to him. The owner is the biggest, and this is a rule that cannot be provoked.
He looked at the group of bodyguards and said, "The store is a place to eat, and it is not allowed to break in with a large number of attendants and interfere with normal operations." Otherwise, I refuse to sell you the food. ”
"Refuse to sell it to me?" Ma Zhongyong's body stiffened, and he turned to look down at him, "What are you! You're just a cook, and you dare to kick your nose in the face?" Believe it or not, I'll send someone to beat you up, and then make you kneel on the ground, and beg me to drink soup!"
He sneered, his eyes filled with contempt.
A shabby young man dared to refuse him?
When those bodyguards heard this, they were eyeing each other and were ready to arrest Wu Bencao.
In the face of such intimidation, Wu Bencao's expression was calm and he did not panic, "What's wrong with the cook? The cook can decide, you can't drink soup today." ”
The demon beast is still in the house, as long as he gives an order, he will rush out and tear this group of people into meat sauce;
Thirdly, he didn't believe that so many customers would sit back and watch themselves get beaten so badly that they wouldn't be able to drink the soup.
In the end, when it was really a last resort, he could fight desperately, capture the thief and capture the king, restrain Ma Zhongyong, who had not yet practiced, and force the bodyguards to leave.
To sum up, he actually expects the other party to make trouble on the surface, which is better to deal with than to make trouble in the dark.
Sure enough, as he expected, hearing this threat, Niu Huan, Old Man Wang and others stepped forward at the same time, and their swords were tense.
"Surnamed Ma, don't be too rampant, do you really think that Goose City is your territory?"
"In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, if you make trouble on the street, you are not afraid of being questioned by the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Dare to bully my brother, you don't want to live anymore!"
The last sentence was shouted out by Wang Xiang, he stared at him, rolled up his sleeves, and was murderous, as if he wanted to beat Ma Zhongyong. Even if he doesn't have the grace of opening the pulse, he has played with Wu Bencao since he was a child, and he has a deep relationship, and he can't tolerate being bullied.
Ma Zhongyong's face was extremely embarrassed, he never expected that he would teach a lonely and helpless teenager a lesson, but he didn't even do it yet, and he would arouse the anger of so many people at the same time.
The crowd was angry, he froze there, it was difficult to ride the tiger, his face was red, and he didn't know what to do.
At this time, a group of people came from the back of the street, led by the old man, who had a deep breath, and his words were full of murderous intent, "Ma Zhongyong, if you don't apologize to Boss Wu, I promise, you won't be able to get out of Hanzheng Street today." ”
When Ma Zhongyong heard this, he suddenly turned around, and after seeing the face under the umbrella clearly, his pupils contracted violently, "You actually came here too?!"
