Chapter 238
Chen Rong struggled for a while, and found that his second brother's strength was not loosened at all, so he couldn't help pouting, "Don't slander me, am I the kind of person who eats flowers and wine in the daytime!" ”
", Chen Laosan, it's not like you who said that when you open your eyes and talk nonsense, you are the most diligent in running Chunxiang Building." Zhang Xunsheng looked at Chen Rong, who was still smiling, and sighed twice.
Liu Shulai also bared his teeth, and said with a smile: "Well, you are not!" ”
"But I heard that several big Oiran in Chunxianglou are performing on the same stage today, and if you go late, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the gate."
As soon as Chen Rong heard this, how could he still think of struggling, and his expression directly flattered, "Brother Lai, how else to say that you are closer than my own brother, you just understand me." Why don't we make an appointment in the evening? ”
The speed of changing his face was not ordinarily fast, and it directly amused Lin Baoru next to him.
In the end, Chen Rong still dragged Zhang Xunsheng to Chunxiang Building.
Joining in the fun, especially the excitement of the beauty, is his favorite thing to do.
It was only when he arrived at the door of Chunxiang Building that he realized that there were no Oiran on the same stage today, let alone Oiran, even those who sang small songs.
Chen Rong blinked a pair of confused eyes, "? ”
Zhang Xunsheng looked at his innocent face, and after a while, he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and then turned around and left with a smile.
When Chen Rong caught up with him, he was dissatisfied with his brother's injustice, and he said helplessly: "Chunxianglou has a program, but when will it be arranged in the daylight?" ”
It's just these two fools, they come up as soon as they hear the excitement, and they don't bother to turn their brains at all.
Chen Rong felt despised at this time, so he had to chase Zhang Lao Er to make it clear. On the other hand, Liu Shulai and Lin Baoru are much more comfortable.
However, before the two of them played, Liu Shulai still touched his nose weakly under the gaze of his own black heart lotus and said, "I...... Actually, I haven't drunk much flower wine. ”
The two of them have been under the same roof for more than two months, how can she not hear the emptiness in Liu Shulai's words? So Lin Baoru nodded with a smile, "Well, although you are a frequent visitor to Chunxiang Building, you don't like to drink flower wine!" ”
Saying this, Liu Shulai's eyes were even more erratic.
Lin Baoru didn't care too much about this, after all, earlier, she knew who she was marrying.
Although he was much better than he expected, and there weren't so many messy things in the courtyard, he wasn't the kind of person who guarded himself like jade.
probably didn't have any expectations, so it was natural to tease him at this time. It was Liu Shulai who wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain it, so he scratched his ears and cheeks and felt anxious for a while.
I have to say that the annual temple fair is really lively. On both sides of the street, there are jugglers, as well as all kinds of stalls selling goods, and even several larger shops, and they have also set up a small platform at the door to sing excerpts and joke about storytelling.
Although Lin Baoru had also encountered storytellers and singers before, she didn't have the time and experience to listen carefully. If you say that the most leisurely and enjoyable time to watch a lively time, it is probably the time when you watched juggling in the Chen family lotus pond.
In contrast, Liu Shulai is really proficient in playing, and he really took Lin Baoru to appreciate the rare snacks and tricks that came down.
Somehow, every time he saw the satisfied appearance of Black Heart Lotus, he couldn't help but rejoice. Therefore, after only half a day, most of the silver in his hand went out, and he was not willing to work as a coolie, and his hand was full of things.
At noon, Lin Baoru wanted to go back, thinking that Mrs. Liu was still at home, and she and Liu Shuzi were a little unhappy when they were out together. Second, she was also worried that when the sun came, her mother-in-law would go to Liu's house to look for her.
Earlier, when she was delivering goods from the workshop, she sent a letter to the Wang family, thinking that if there was nothing to do at home on the day of the temple fair, she would come to Liu's Mansion for a meal. It's not that she wants to take a big deal, but she thinks about it, let the Wang family see her life with her own eyes, so that she doesn't worry about her life as soon as she hears something.
However, Wang said that on the day of the temple fair, she planned to go to the Zhao butcher first, not to go to the door to propose, but to have a good relationship with the Zhao butcher by thanking her son and master. This can be regarded as a disguised first to tell people that they value the daughter of the Zhao family.
If you come to see her, you will probably get half an aftermath.
In fact, Lin Baoru knew in her heart that her mother was also trying to avoid lunch. After all, when there is no New Year's holiday in Taoxi Village, I don't pay attention to eating in my in-laws' house.
It's just that she wanted to go back and rest for a while, but Liu Shulai didn't have this plan, didn't she open her mouth, Liu Shulai directly pulled her to Liu's restaurant.
Now it is the main temple, and it is also the most lively day recently, so the tables and boxes in each restaurant are booked out early. However, Liu Shulai doesn't have to worry, after all, there is no place in his own restaurant, and the shopkeeper will not let them go empty, not to mention that there are a few private rooms in the backyard with the most quiet environment. Grave
Nowadays, in the shops of the Liu family, there may be newcomers who can't recognize Liu Shulai, but they won't fail to recognize the young lady Lin Baoru, who can be the master. Especially the shopkeeper of the restaurant, when Mrs. Liu had dinner with the second room of the Lin family for the first time, it was here, and he saw that the lady of the owner had a plan in her heart.
Later, sure enough, didn't the eldest young master marry her?
If that was what he expected, then when the lady handed over the seals and the accounts of the shops to the young lady, he was shocked for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.
It's just that others may look down on this young lady, but he won't snub him. At that time, when the shopkeeper of many people's shops met a piece to speak, some people laughed at him for being frightened by a yellow-haired girl.
But in the end, those who have worked against the young lady, or who have curried favor with the head of the Liu family because they see that she is from the countryside, will not be able to hear the news now!
Not to mention those people, it is the head of the Liu family and the second uncle and the third uncle, who are now all repaired by her.
Speaking of which, this young lady's methods are quite simple and crude, and they are not enough to see in the business field. But this method not only took away the power of those big leaders, but also directly killed the chickens and monkeys, so that the shopkeepers and stewards of other shops did not dare to rely on the old and sell the old. In front of outsiders, she can still say in a high-sounding manner that she has worked hard to let the Xiao family keep a few patriarchs and uncles, so that they can still be the shopkeepers decently.
Others may not know, but he, who has worked in the Liu family restaurant for many years, knows very well that the timber shop and the garment shop are said to be the Liu family's industry, but they have been occupied by several uncles of the Liu family many years ago.
Now that the young lady has packed the shop and transferred it to the Xiao family, the good days of the Liu family's uncles will be completely over. At the very least, they didn't dare to be as proud as they were in the Liu family in the Xiao family.
Later, the young lady changed the bookkeeping method of her own accounts through Mr. Jiang, who was in charge of the entire Liu family's industrial accounts, and it was simple to see, but the entry and exit of the shop and the quality of the operation could be seen at a glance. This made many shopkeepers who were secretly looking for benefits dare not be greedy anymore.
Occasionally, when one or two collided with the muzzle, the young lady would send people away vigorously. Sensei said that he begged for mercy and begged for mercy, but he didn't have time to open his mouth, so he drove people away.
On the contrary, for those who are as conscientious as the shopkeeper of the rouge shop, and who sell goods very carefully, the young lady is not stingy with rewards. I heard that the guy who sold out most of the soap and rouge in the shop last month received a reward of 500 wen in addition to his salary.
At the time of the payroll, the young lady also specially explained that whether the shopkeeper or the partner of each shop, if there is a cheater or a slippery, regardless of the relationship or the origin, directly drive people out. And every month in the shop, you can choose a dedicated and excellent guy to report to Mr. Jiang, and then the owner will reward him with 500 to 1,000 wen every month.
With such a situation, whether it was a rouge shop or a grain store, or the guys and workers in his restaurant, they all worked hard to compete. I'm afraid that if I do less, I will miss out on the reward if I am lazy.
Of course, they are more worried about when they will be found out by the owner and then lose their livelihood.
Now, he feels that the restaurant business has been much better because of the owner's decision.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper of the restaurant looked at Lin Baoru with a more respectful expression.
"Young master, young lady, do you have any dishes you want to eat?" The shopkeeper put down the matter at hand, welcomed Liu Shulai and Lin Baoru to the backyard, and explained carefully, "There are more than half of the people who order food in our restaurant today than usual, so the kitchen is too busy to take care of anything." If the young master and the young lady have anything to eat, they have to speak earlier, and I can let people tell them to go down. ”
As soon as the words fell, before Lin Baoru and Liu Shulai could say anything, there was a dispute in the lobby. Subsequently, what should have been a hot place turned out to be a little quiet.
Lin Baoru frowned slightly, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong ahead.
Not only her, but also the shopkeeper straightened up at this time, and after bowing down to confess, he raised his voice and called the clever guy to come over and greet the young owner. And he hurried forward.
Of course, the so-called harmony makes money, even though he is anxious and worried in his heart, he still smiles on his face without revealing his feelings.
The young man who was called was busy behind the counter just now, and now he can tell Lin Baoru and Liu Shu about the things ahead.
"The location of our restaurant is good, and the few new dishes sent by the young lady are very rare, so before noon, it is already overcrowded. Right now, the rich lady from nowhere has a young lady, and we have to find a private room, isn't it embarrassing! Probably worried that if this matter was not handled well, the proprietor would blame the shopkeeper, so the young man complained with a bitter face and said, "Our restaurant has been sending people to eat since an hour ago, and they are all good words and good words, and generally no one is unreasonable and embarrassed." ”
"It's just that the lady and the young lady who just came are rare, we can't pay for it again and again, and the partial people just can't listen to it, and they always feel that we look down on them......"
Lin Baoru's footsteps followed him two steps forward, but when he heard the two words behind the young man, he still couldn't help but stop. She frowned and said, "If it's full, the restaurant will directly let the back door leave?" ”
The young man didn't know what his young lady meant by asking this, but it could be seen that her expression was solemn, so she didn't dare to complain anymore, so she could only tell the truth: "Some people will order some dishes to take home, but most of the time, the people who run the hall will tell people carefully that there is no seat in the sake restaurant, and let them come back another day......"
When Lin Baoru heard this, her brows became more and more furrowed.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with what the guys in the restaurant are doing, and there is nothing wrong with it. Generally speaking, once the restaurant is full, it will not be able to vacate tables, chairs and seats for a period of time, and it will indeed be unable to serve customers.
But in her opinion, this can be regarded as the loss of many prospects. What's more, some guests who already have enough spending power may be annoyed by the Liu family's business because they were turned away by the Liu family restaurant once or twice.
