Chapter 288: Deliberately showing weakness

Aunt Zhou and her family listened to Lin Ruan's arrangement, and they were so excited that they didn't know what to do.

Lin Ruan sent a few breeding rabbits to their family, and let Zhou Lang follow him to learn arithmetic, and now he was taken to Qingzhou City to do the accounting room, and he had two taels of silver a month. Now that such an important matter has been handed over to them, in the future, the head of the family and Da Lang will also have a stable job, and their family will really turn over in the future.

Aunt Zhou took Lin Ruan's hand with red eyes and didn't let go: "Ah Ruan, how can you let your aunt thank you?" ”

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "Auntie, what you say is not a good thing." I'm not doing this to make you appreciate me, just like when you helped our brother and sister, you didn't ask for gratitude or anything in return, just wanted us to have a better life. Now that I have the ability, I will naturally pull you along. And you manage the workshop for me, and I can rest assured that I can go outside, so I have to thank you for being willing to do this for me. ”

When she took Lin Han and Xiuxiu to stand on their own, she had nothing, and it was Aunt Zhou's family who helped them regardless of returns. So she has always remembered this love and has been trying to find a way to reciprocate. Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou are not suitable to work in the store, but they are perfect for her to help her manage the workshop.

The more she said this, the more moved Aunt Zhou became, and she kept reassuring: "Ah Ruan, this workshop is in our hands, you can rest assured, we will definitely keep the workshop in order." ”

Of course Lin Ruan believes her, and she believes in Aunt Zhou's family.

In addition, Lin Ruan also went to the county's carriage and horse shop to buy more than ten carriages in one go, and was responsible for delivering ingredients to branches in various counties in the future, and the people who rushed to deliver the goods were all selected from the village, two people in one car, more than ten cars, and twenty or thirty people were selected.

After explaining the affairs of the family, Lin Ruan rushed back to Qingzhou City.

As soon as he entered the backyard, the puppy sent by Liang Twelve barked desperately at Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan unceremoniously rewarded it with a brain meltdown, and deeply suspected that there was probably something wrong with the dog's IQ.

Summoning those birds, Lin Ruan learned about the situation.

The birds told her that in the days since she left Qingzhou City, several strangers have tried to come to Xunweiji's backyard, but they have all been bombarded, and no one has come into contact with anyone outside.

Lin Ruan was very satisfied, and got some millet and sprinkled it on the roof to reward these little agents.

When the birds had eaten their fill, they continued to help her keep an eye on her.

At night, Lin Ruan summoned the rats lurking in Yun Keju, and learned from them that the shopkeeper of Yun Keju had been talking about the jokes of Xun Wei Ji every day recently, that is, even the content of the jokes, and those rats told Lin Ruan a rough idea.

In addition, Lin Ruan also knew that Yun Keju was inquiring about the group of people she had placed in the west of the city.

After Lin Ruan heard this, he immediately thought about it.

The next day, Xunwei Ji posted a notice saying that due to the supply of goods, the gift of strawberries and apples would be temporarily suspended. During this period, all consumption will be recorded, and when the supply arrives, we will make up for it.

As soon as the notice was posted, many people who had planned to come over to eat hot pot immediately dismissed their minds.

On the same day, Xunweiji's business faded.

After Yao Sangongzi heard the news, he clapped his hands and laughed: "That village girl finally can't bear it, the peace fruit is one or two silver, and one is given to each table, she is simply tossing at a loss, and as for strawberries, it is even more bloody." I said that sooner or later she would not be able to bear it, and sure enough. Next, when it's our turn to make a move, let her take a good look at what it means to be confident! ”

Early the next morning, the gongs and drums were noisy in front of the Yunke Residence, and two beautiful and majestic big lion dancers were tumbling vigorously in front of the door.

After the shopkeeper waited for the lion dance to end, he said to the people who came to see the excitement: "Distinguished guests, thank you for your care of our cloud guest house for several years, from today on, as long as you eat in the cloud guest house in Qingzhou City, you will get a 20% discount, and you will get as much as you eat." In addition, the owner also said that this year we will count once a month, and the three tables of guests who consume the most will be refunded in full and a table of the highest specification will be given. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately applauded.

Although this is now a little more expensive than before, but how much you eat and how much you give, in this way, it is affordable, and it is cheaper than the price of ordinary restaurants.

Even people with average conditions can afford to eat.

So many people entered the restaurant one after another, and after a while, the cloud guest house was full of guests. Another cloud guest house in the city is also like a guest.

And the business here is a lot colder, although there are still people who come to eat, compared to the previous hot scene, it is really a heaven and an earth.

Many people who are idle and have nothing to do deliberately come to ask if the price of Xunweiji can be cheaper, if it can be more favorable than the price of Yunkeju, they will come to eat.

Lin Ruan said with a smile: "The small shop has a small profit, and it has never made any money, so there is no way to make any more discounts, I'm really sorry." ”

The men shook their heads and said, "That's a shame." ”

Lin Ruan smiled, not in a hurry at all.

That night, before the curfew, Lin Ruan took the group of people that Liang Twelve helped her buy out of Qingzhou City, separated from Yang San'er's soldiers, and took them to the county seat where the branch was about to be opened.

And Yun Keju was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he temporarily left the matter of inquiring behind.

From this day on, for more than half a month, Yunkeju's business was very good, and it was busy until before curfew every day.

And Xunweiji's business has been deserted, and it can only receive more than a dozen tables of guests every day, and after calculation, it really can't even keep the capital, so that many people who originally wanted to wait to see the jokes of Yunkeju can't help beating their chests and feet, and feel that Xunweiji's previous behavior is completely slapping their swollen faces and becoming fat, which makes them look forward to it happily in vain.

Only some people who love to eat strawberries, or who have benefited from strawberries, can't help but sigh and regret.

As for the reason for the source of goods mentioned in Xunwei Ji, these words will be added in the future, and basically everyone will not believe it. Everyone unanimously thinks that Xunwei Ji can't afford such a high cost, so they deliberately found such a reason to end the matter of sending strawberries and peace fruits.

It's just that, no matter how the outside world speculates, Xunwei Ji is still immovable, and hangs half-dead like that every day.

Unbeknownst to everyone, at this time, not far from Xunweiji, a shop was in full swing to be renovated, and some unfamiliar craftsmen were building tall stoves with bricks and stones in the backyard of the shop.

At the same time, in several other county towns, eight shops were busy at the same time, from dawn to dark, and the craftsmen even lived directly in the shops.

Seeing that they were in such a hurry, the merchants near those shops all curiously stepped forward to inquire, but they didn't find any news, only vaguely guessed from the things that kept being transported into the stores that these shops should be restaurants.

On the thirtieth night of the first lunar month, these eight shops, along with the new store in Qingzhou City, hung plaques covered with red silk at the same time. Just wait for tomorrow's auspicious time to be able to unveil them and see them.
