Chapter 176: Don't post it upside down
After reading the three books, Rowan made an in-depth comment on the shortcomings of each bard.
In the end, he concluded: "What you want to write is not a book that will go down in history, but a story for the general public. The first thing you have to do is to make people understand, let people understand what kind of story you are writing, and then use rhetoric to embellish your work, but too flashy rhetoric will only reduce the storytelling and make it worthless garbage! Got it? ”
Seeing that the bards still looked half-incomprehensible, Rowan couldn't help but sigh.
"It's okay, if you don't understand, we can change people."
Then he waved his hand and asked the owner of the copy shop to bring the three bards back and rewrite them.
……
"There is still a long way to go!"
After they were all gone, Rowan lay down on the recliner and rested for a long time with his eyes closed.
The books written by those three bards were so poisonous that he endured them for so long, and finally he died of poison!
But fate (the author) did not give him time to rest, and he was just feeling a little more comfortable when another guest entered the tavern that needed attention.
"Boss."
Qin Ying came over and helped him rub his head, and then he sat up slowly.
He used to be a good guy who worked hard, but now he has been the boss for less than two months, and he has become like this, which is really sad and lamentable.
Rowan sat up and looked at the tavern door.
He also knew the guests who came this time, but he was not very impressed.
He thought about it for a moment before he remembered the man's name.
"By the way, it's called Wang Kangde!"
Wang Kangde, the senior of the Wang family, the management of the East City of the Food Association.
Luo Wen didn't really want to talk to this Wang Kangde, so he wanted to ask Qin Ying to greet him, but then another person was brought in by Wang Kangde.
It was a child, and Rowan was quite impressed with him.
"It should be a young master of the Wang family, is it called Wang Lu, right? Speaking of which, I saved him. I don't know what I'm here for? ”
After seeing this Wang Lu, Rowan knew that he couldn't be lazy.
He stood up and walked around the side of the counter.
"What's the matter?" After yawning, Rowan beckoned Wang Kangde and Wang Lu to a table and sat down.
"Boss Luo." Wang Kangde shouted first.
After witnessing the assassination the night before, he felt more and more that the tavern owner was not simple, and then sent someone to investigate again.
The investigators he sent this time were very professional and secretive, they did not start from the residents and shops near the tavern, but obtained information from some mobile customers, and then sifted and combined the numerous and fragmented information to finally obtain a part of the valid information.
The disadvantage of this method of investigation is that the information collected is not comprehensive and detailed enough, but it is enough to understand the general situation of a person.
Through this investigation, Wang Kangde adjusted his thinking and countermeasures, and decided to try his best to befriend the tavern owner, rather than become an enemy of him.
In fact, no matter from which point of view, "befriending" is his only choice now, unless he wants to work against some people within the Wang family!
After all, Rowan and Barr have a very close cooperative relationship, and they once saved the Wang family's royal road, which is simply full of interests and kindness, and has already established an inextricable relationship with the Wang family.
After making up his mind, Wang Kangde took action.
If you want to make friends with someone, of course, you can't just rush up and say, "Let's make friends", he needs an opportunity, which can be found from the Barr father and daughter, or from a little nephew, Wang Lu!
So yesterday during the day, he went to the Wang family headquarters to pick up Wang Lu, and then came to visit today.
But Wang Lu, who was used by him as an opportunity to make friends, was of course reluctant to come......
Although Wang Lu has come to his senses after experiencing the Blood Demon Incident, he has become a new person, and unexpectedly turned into a good boy who is diligent and studious, and who is willing to work hard, but in his heart, he nailed that incident as a "pillar of shame" in his heart!
He couldn't forgive himself for being so incompetent and cowardly, and he was ashamed to face the tavern owner Rowan who saved his life - because he had splashed jackal blood at the back door of the tavern!
However, Wang Kant saw through his thoughts, and then taught him: "Only by having the courage to face the stupidity and failure of the past can we truly cross it, change it, and shape a new self!" ”
So, in order to overcome the shame of the past, Wang Lu followed Wang Kangde to the Flame Girl Tavern - an important place that changed the trajectory of his life!
But once he actually faced Luo Wen, Wang Lu found himself nervous, and he sat there with his head down, even his knees trembling.
"Don't be afraid."
Wang Kande held his hand and whispered.
Wang Lu felt his uncle's encouragement and gradually calmed down.
He had just thought of not only Rowan, but also the horror of the Blood Demon, so he trembled.
"Hey."
On the other side, Rowan sighed lightly and took the initiative to say, "If there is anything, say it." ”
Wang Kangde said: "I want my nephew to fight in your tavern. ”
That's what he's for.
Letting Wang Lu work in the tavern of Rowan is good for Wang Lu himself, and it is also good for him.
He could have come to pick up Wang Lu every day, and then he would be able to get acquainted with the tavern owner as soon as he came and went!
After investigation, Wang Kangde knew that the tavern owner was a very approachable person, such as Lu Yuan, an adventurer who was very close to the tavern owner now, just because he often came to the tavern to eat and became a regular customer, and then changed from a regular customer to a mature person, and the relationship became closer and closer.
Simple, isn't it?
As long as you don't pay too much attention to the relationship of monetary interests, this person will be very easy to befriend.
There is only one secret, and that is "sincerity"!
Wang Kangde is very experienced in dealing with such people, and he can "treat people with sincerity" when needed.
As long as you can become friends with this tavern owner, then the cooperation will be easy......
You can't let those businessmen snatch away all the business opportunities!
……
"Knock it out? Is it true to be a clerk? But there's no shortage of people in my store. Rowan thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, your nephew also came to my store to apply for a job. ”
"Really?" Wang Kangde looked at Wang Lu with some surprise, he did not receive a report in this regard.
Wang Lu nodded, feeling more and more ashamed in his heart.
He still vaguely remembers what he said at the time, and now that he thinks about it, it's just stupid not to want it!
Rowan continued: "You were applying for an apprentice chef, but I don't think you can do the job as an apprentice chef. Moreover, your father is still alive, right? ”
"What does that mean?" Wang Kande looked at Wang Lu in surprise again.
Wang Lu lowered his head even deeper: "At that time, I lied that my father was suddenly killed on the way to transport goods......"
What's more, he also fabricated at the time that after his father's death, his uncle learned about it, but he didn't know how to track down the thieves, only robbed the property. They robbed his family of two properties, four fields and eight shops. Even he and his mother were kicked out of their homes and left on the streets......
Anyway, it's all kinds of miserable sales, and I want to win the sympathy of the tavern owner.
But Wang Kande is what he calls "uncle at home", once Wang Kande learns his statement......
The consequences are unimaginable!
"Ridiculous!" Wang Kangde was a little angry, "I always thought that although you were naughty, you still knew how to measure, but I didn't expect that you could even make up this kind of words!" ”
Wang Lu trembled, cautiously looked up at Wang Kangde, then at Luo Wen, and said in a low voice: "I apologize, I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong!" I wasn't a good thing in the past! ”
"Hey!" Wang Kangde sighed, and turned to Luo Wen and said, "You see that my nephew is really not a good person, he has never suffered since he was a child, and no one dares to scold him, that blood demon incident was the first time he encountered danger, and he almost died." If I don't educate him well, I'm afraid he will die in the future! ”
Yes, people do die, but they really die!
Rowan smiled lightly: "Then take it home and educate it well." I can't teach that kind of thing in this tavern. ”
He didn't want to leave such a troublesome child in the store!
"There is no need to be presumptuous," Wang Kangde hurriedly said, "Boss Luo is the most talented person I have ever seen in my life, as long as I follow you for a period of time, my nephew will definitely make great progress!" ”
Rowan hurriedly shook his head: "Where, I'm just an ordinary tavern owner." ”
"Ordinary you P!"
Wang Kangde was slandered in his heart, and the expression on his face was as usual: "No, I believe in you!" You once saved your little nephew, and he must be willing to listen to your teachings! ”
Rowan waved his hand and said, "But I already have two waiters in my store, and the only thing I need is a chef apprentice." But if you make him an apprentice chef, he doesn't follow me, so it doesn't make sense, does it? ”
Hearing this, the corners of Wang Kangde's mouth twitched, it turned out that he was here to set me up!
He calmed down and continued to smile: "It's okay, as long as you enter the tavern, it is under the teaching of Boss Luo, and the chef apprentice is also good, you can still learn what you can eat and what you can't eat." It can't be so big, and you can't even divide the whole grains, right? ”
Rowan spread his hands: "But a person who doesn't even divide grains can be an apprentice chef?" Mr. Wang, aren't you a strong man? ”
Wang Kangde: "......"
Only the second plan can be started!
The hand he put under the table quietly patted Wang Lu and motioned for Wang Lu to plead himself.
But when Wang Lu faced Luo Wen, he was already ashamed, how could he say anything?
He barely spoke, and he stammered!
"Luo, Luo, Luo, Mr. Luo! Please let me follow you! ”
"Poof!"
Rowan almost laughed out loud, you think you are a knight, and you still follow?
Wang Lu also immediately noticed his slip of the tongue, and quickly changed his words: "Please let me be a chef apprentice!" ”
This time, Luo Wenyi refused verbally: "No! ”
Wang Lu froze there suddenly.
And Wang Kangde also twitched, a little unhappy: "Boss Luo, my nephew doesn't need a salary, I just want to find a chance for him to hone his skills, and we can even pay for the tuition upside down!" This tuition fee will definitely not disappoint you! ”
Rowan couldn't help but sigh: "Why don't you understand?" Do you really think your nephew is up to the task of being an apprentice chef? Or does he really want to be a chef in the future? To be honest, the working atmosphere in my tavern is very relaxed, and I usually don't care about anything, even if he comes to work with me, he can't sharpen anything. He's in my tavern, and there's no growth. ”
"Maybe he'll get lazier!" Lisa, who was eavesdropping on the side, suddenly burst out.
Rowan praised her in his heart: "Hehe." ”
"Is it time to activate the third plan?" Wang Kangde lowered his brows and thought in his heart, "Now it seems that the road of Wang Lu will not work. Then it is necessary for me to continue to observe and measure the value of this tavernkeeper. The value he's shown now is very great, but not to that extent......"
Just as Wang Kangde and Wang Lu were silent, Qin Ying knocked on the counter, signaling that Rowan had another special guest entering the door.
Rowan couldn't help frowning, he was really busy today, why did everyone pick the same time?
But he looked up anyway, turned sideways, and looked towards the tavern door.
This time, it was not an acquaintance who entered the door, but two vigilant guards!
The two guards entered through the gate one on the left and one on the right, their sharp gaze sweeping the inside of the tavern as if they were about to clear the room.
This kind of thing, they do a lot more!
Because only by clearing all the suspicious characters can you ensure the safety of your wife with the greatest probability!
The last time Mrs. was assassinated, they were already very remorseful, and they often reflected on themselves, and they shouldn't have neglected Madame's safety because they were addicted to movies!
Although that movie is really good......
But just when they wanted to clear the scene, they suddenly found Wang Kangde!
Of course, Wang Kangde didn't just come with Wang Lu, there were two bodyguards standing behind him, so it was quite eye-catching.
And in the aristocratic circle, Wang Kangde is also a relatively well-known figure, and the two guards have done their homework and recognize him at a glance.
"It's Lord Wang!" One of the guards hurriedly turned back, apparently to make a report.
Then, a noble, richly dressed and beautiful lady entered the tavern.
As always, the aristocratic lady wore a thick foundation on her already fair skin, and she also wore a lot of embellishments that seemed cumbersome on her, looking fashionable but very incongruous.
Rowan has always felt that she may be the most beautiful when she is facing the sky.
"Countess Safi!"
When Wang Kangde saw this lady, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Although the Wang family is a wealthy family, it is not an aristocratic family, although there are also a few nobles with high titles, but compared with the old aristocratic family where the Countess of Safi belongs, it still lacks background.
After the countess entered the door, her gaze gently drifted over Wang Kangde's body: "Wang Kangde? That's your ......."
"My nephew!" Wang Kangde hurriedly patted Wang Lu's shoulder and said.
The Countess nodded, but ignored them, and walked straight into the tavern, where the guards beside her hurriedly followed and protected her closely.
