After a short period of helplessness, we have to face reality.

If there is a problem, solve the problem, there is no need to feel sorry for yourself!

Qi Yunshu turned to Shopkeeper Li and asked him to help contact the grocery store he knew well to see if they still had stock there.

Shopkeeper Li felt very guilty about the loss of the goods in his hands and made his partners face such a dilemma, so he responded at this time and actively ran for them, saying that he wanted to find other sources of goods for them.

But unfortunately, the biggest reserve of chili peppers in the capital is Li shopkeeper himself, and now his supply here is cut off, and those small traders who rely on him to get the goods are out of stock, and even a few companies with a small amount of inventory have also been bought out.

"It shouldn't be, this pepper is not very popular in previous years, and it is not easy to sell, especially in winter, I can sell it for a winter if I collect two thousand catties in previous years!" Shopkeeper Li was full of worries, and said that he would not go to other places to ask, and he also knew a few shopkeepers who might have inventory.

Qi Yunshu had some guesses in her heart, but she hoped that a miracle would happen, so she still asked him to help her run.

But before Shopkeeper Li could leave, he was stopped by Su Zhi: "Don't go, I think the result will probably be the same, maybe they will have stock before, but now there will definitely be nothing!" Apparently someone is deliberately putting small shoes on us! ”

With one sentence that pierced through the speculation in everyone's hearts, Qi Yunshu was angry, but still wanted to try.

"The inventory in the capital is gone, what about the neighboring counties? Hejian Mansion, Zhending Mansion, Shunde Mansion, are those places gone? ”

"These three places are hundreds of miles away from the capital, and it will take at least three days to collect materials and go back and forth, or even more, even if you can find it, you won't have time to catch up with the delivery time!" Su Zhi is accustomed to doing business, and she is very familiar with the situation in that area, and immediately splashed down a basin of cold water, which stimulated Qi Yunshu's heart.

"Maybe it would be faster to find the lost batch of Shopkeeper Li!" Su Zhi finally set her eyes on Shopkeeper Li.

This is a middle-aged man in his thirties, not tall, but stout, dark-skinned, and a pair of small eyes, but often very shrewd.

She questioned: "Thousands of pounds of goods are missing, but you say you don't know, why don't I believe what you say?" ”

"This ...... Madame, you ...... What do you mean by this, do you suspect that I will not sell to the two? After experiencing the early panic, Shopkeeper Li slowly adjusted his mood and expressed his anger in a timely manner.

But how can Su Zhi be a vegetarian?

"Isn't it? Thousands of pounds of goods are not two or three catties, if they are to be transported away, the movement must be not small, how can you, as the shopkeeper, not know any movement? Maybe you don't know what my husband does, do you want to think about it again, otherwise I don't mind asking my husband to send someone to help you think about it! ”

Shopkeeper Li's adjusted mood just now was so frightened by the threat in Su Zhi's words that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, and he was shocked: "Ah...... Zhao ...... Mrs. Zhao said...... Again, I'm ...... No, it's just that I really don't know where my goods go! He looked at Qi Yunshu with his eyes turned and asked for help.

Qi Yunshu frowned and didn't say a word, in fact, it wasn't just Su Zhi who had such a guess, she also thought so.

As soon as she listened to Shopkeeper Li, she knew he was lying.

The reason why she summoned him all over the city to transfer goods to them just now was actually to give him a chance.

If he is interested, he should take the initiative to take out those "disappeared" goods, instead of making trouble to this scene!

"Don't look at Yun Shu, she is kind-hearted, and she is a newcomer, I don't know about the blackmail of you traders, I may not know?" Su Zhi knocked and beat continuously, her expression was serious, sometimes stiff, and the shopkeeper Li finally said where the goods went.

"No...... It's not me, it's ...... It's my youngest son...... He didn't know where he got an order, and he didn't discuss it with me, so he directly collected the cash, signed the order, and emptied the warehouse! I...... I've looked around, but ...... But there's no goods here, and I'm afraid you'll blame me if you find out......"

"Bold, you are a shopkeeper Li, you have no reputation, you promise us to supply first, but you let your youngest son take the order halfway, believe it or not, I will sue you to Shuntianfu." Su Zhi's eyebrows were deep, and deep anger could be seen on her delicate face.

"Spare your life, spare your life, I was wrong, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, please spare your life, spare your life, I am old and young, if I enter the official mansion...... "If you don't die, you have to shed your skin."

This is a common idea among ordinary people.

"Do you know who bought your peppers?" Qi Yunshu asked him gently.

"I don't know...... No, I didn't know it at first, but then the villain paid attention and quietly followed the loaded carriage to take a look...... Yes, it was bought by the newly opened restaurant on Dongwai Street! ”

"Liu Cailian!" Qi Yunshu screamed in shock.

Su Zhi also reacted, but she didn't know about the friction between Liu Cailian and Qi Yunshu.

"She runs a restaurant, why do you buy so many chili peppers? Could it be that she is also going to do this business? ”

Qi Yunshu shook her head, and took the initiative to highlight the bad relationship between herself and Liu Cailian, guessing that she might just be trying to embarrass her!

"What a bold man, even I dare to calculate!" Su Zhi is not so easy to bully, and when she slapped the table, she scared the hearts of everyone present.

Zhao ...... Mrs. Zhao, listen to the villain, what is it...... The proprietor didn't dare to offend, I heard my youngest son say that in addition to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, there were also officials and neatly dressed patrol camp guards who came to move the goods that day! And also...... Also, it is said that in that restaurant, there is a big man in the court who is also a shareholder......"

Shopkeeper Li's tone was exaggerated, saying that although he knew that his youngest son was doing something wrong, the other party was too big, and they really didn't dare to offend.

"Hmph, you are a bully who is afraid of the hard, you don't dare to offend him, but you dare to offend me......" Su Zhi glared at him and said:

"Okay, you go back, let's record this account here first, if there is such a situation in the future, you don't need to deal with them head-on, just tell them that it is my goods, and then send someone to Dali Temple to tell my husband!"

Now you quickly find someone to go to the nearest Kasuma Prefecture to Kyoto to transfer some goods back for me, and if something goes wrong again this time, I will only ask you. ”

"Yes...... Yes, yes! When Shopkeeper Li heard Su Zhi's words, he was frightened into a cold sweat, took a towel and kept rubbing the sweat.

Qi Yunshu said to his distant back: "If Liu Cailian, with her means, it will definitely not be so simple, I'm afraid there will be a back-up move behind!" ”

"After-the-beat...... Even if I come, I'll be afraid of her! Su Zhi pinched her fingers, her eyes were heavy, and she looked thoughtfully at the most eye-catching restaurant on Dongwai Street.

She directly sent her Jin Er to test it, but soon news came back.

Knowing that the reason why Liu Cailian dared to do this was indeed because there was an amazing person behind her who was helping her.

"Guess who?" Su Zhi looked at Qi Yunshu.

"Maybe it's the second prince!" Qi Yunshu stroked his forehead with his hand and told what he had heard in the rockery pavilion of the Second Prince's Mansion before.

"Hmph, no wonder you're fat!" Su Zhi sneered.

The two skimmed over the matter and began to discuss the matter of tomorrow's orders, what if they could not be delivered on time?

"You can only explain it one by one! It's a problem of insufficient supply of raw materials, not our fault! Su Zhi appeased Qi Yunshu.

But Qi Yunshu didn't forgive herself so easily!

If she hadn't provoked Liu Cailian, she wouldn't have attracted such perverted revenge!

"I can't blame you for this! The woman...... Watch me clean her up sooner or later! Su Zhi pinched her fingers, only to hear the sound of "Kaka".

The two pressed the matter, took stock of the inventory in the workshop, and found that the remaining chili peppers were only enough for one day, and if the shopkeeper Li could get the chili peppers from Hejian Mansion, and they delayed the delivery date for two more days, then the crisis could barely be overcome.

But it's not so rosy!

Early the next morning, someone surrounded the Zhiwei Sauce Factory, shouting for them to hurry up and deliver the goods.

There are retail investors, and there are also housekeepers from famous families next to them.

There was a commotion outside, which caused some customers in the store to be scared away!

Qi Yunshu helplessly looked at the melon-eating crowd outside, surrounding the entire dam three layers outside and three layers inside, and he didn't know where they got the news, saying that they had no stock in this shop, and the supply of goods was cut off, and they were about to be unable to open!

There are many restaurant stewards who buy seasonings for the dishes of their own restaurants, for fear that they will not be able to get the goods ordered, so they also follow everyone over.

They all rushed to it, saying that they came first, ordered it first, and asked the shop to give them the goods as soon as possible!

Qingzhi was about to cry in fright, and shouted with a flat mouth: "Master, what should I do, the stock in our shop is at most one hundred and fifty catties, and I see that the orders in their hands are at least three hundred catties, and this is still the early stage, if any customers hear about it later, I am afraid they will also be moved." ”

squeezed together like this, let alone the goods, even people will be trampled to death by them at that time......
