Chapter 357: The Garden of Eden
Everyone should know which side to choose!
Si Si also joined forces with Qi Zhaodi to open several more grain shops, and gave them a new name, 'Garden of Eden'.
The quality of the food was good, the propaganda strategy was in place, and soon the reputation of the 'Garden of Eden' spread.
The business of 'Garden of Eden' is getting better and better, and Qi Zhaodi and Sisi are naturally happy.
But it's always like this, some people are happy and some are worried.
After the 'Garden of Eden' became famous, the mood of the Zhou family was not very good.
"Look, young master, this ......"
The manager of Zhou's rice shop handed over this month's account book to Zhou Zimo with some trepidation, looking at Zhou Zimo's increasingly ugly face, standing aside tremblingly, his head bowed deeply, and he looked like a quail that wanted to shrink himself into the ground.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Zimo pinched his eyebrows with a dark face, looking tired and irritable.
"Wasn't it okay last month?"
The steward stiffened, feeling as if he had been targeted by a snake, and the cold feeling made people stop breathing.
"This, I ......" His winching appearance made Zhou Zimo's face even more ugly.
"Huh? If you have something to say, say it! ”
"Yes, like this, this, I don't know where a shop called 'Garden of Eden' came out, and the rice in it can be compared to the tribute rice that is specially paid tribute to the royal family, and the price is the same as ordinary white rice, so those commoners are more willing to buy it there."
The steward wiped his cold sweat and said in a trembling voice: "And that store has also launched a lot of activities, what to buy as much as a pound of rice will be cheaper, the common people have not always been greedy for this kind of small cheapness, and there are naturally more people going there." ”
"This ...... We also tried a lot of things, but we couldn't do anything. ”
After saying these words, he lowered his head, not daring to look up at the person in front of him, for fear that a careless scolding would be a stinking scolding that would cut his head and cover his face.
'Garden of Eden'?
Zhou Zimo thought with a cold face, this name was the first time he had heard of it, and he had never heard it before.
"Have you found out who this store belongs to?"
Zhou Zimo held back his anxious emotions and asked in a cold voice.
"I heard that it is from the Qi family." The steward said cautiously: "It seems that it is the head of the Qi family now, the eldest lady of their family, and the fourth young lady who is said to have broken off relations with the Qi family, but for some reason has a cooperative relationship." ”
"People from the Qi family?" Zhou Zimo frowned and asked suspiciously, "Is this also the cousin of which prince?" How come you've never heard of it before? ”
"No, they don't have any backers, it's just a rich man in a small county town, I heard that it seems that the head of the Qi family before, Master Qi did something, and he had to hand over the affairs of the family to his eldest daughter who has never been married to manage, and now he is eating, drinking and having fun at home."
"A rich man?" Zhou Zimo raised his voice slightly, "A mere landowner who has no backing, no power, and only money can suppress you one by one, what is the use of me raising you a group of waste!" ”
"Young Master, I'm ......" tomb robbery
The steward still wanted to explain a few more sentences, but Zhou Zimo picked up the tea, lowered his head and drank the tea in his hand gently, making it clear that he didn't want to listen to his explanation.
He could only sigh helplessly, shook his head and sighed, a little powerless against the gloomy young master in front of him.
However, the Qi family......
"Young master, do you remember a woman you always wanted to recruit into the store?" The steward suddenly remembered this and spoke.
"Oh, you mean Sisi?" Zhou Zimo raised his eyebrows and said, "What does she have to do with this matter?" ”
In Zhou Zimo's opinion, Si Si will sooner or later become a person under his hands, and the few shops he is struggling to support now are just barely surviving and powerless.
"That's right! It's this girl. The steward nodded, and then continued: "I heard, she is the fourth young lady of the Qi family, it seems that because she used to have the name of a calamity, the Qi family didn't like to see her, and then it seems that she made some mistake and was forced to remove her name from the family tree." ”
"Suddenly I remembered, it seems that this Si Si has her own talent in business, could it be that she went back to find her eldest sister, and the two of them joined forces to reopen the store of 'Garden of Eden'."
I have to say that just relying on a little hearsay and his own conjecture, this steward has almost guessed the reason.
After Zhou Zimo heard him say these words, he pondered for a while, and then said loudly: "Someone! ”
"What do you command?"
"You find a few people who are good at martial arts and are good at inquiring about it, what is the origin of the 'Garden of Eden'? What is the relationship between Sisi and them, and those things about the Qi family in the past, you must ask me clearly, do you know? ”
Zhou Zimo carefully instructed the people under his hands, and after watching the people take the task and go out, he shifted his attention to the steward who was at the bottom.
It's still useful!
"Come on, don't be stupid here, go down, do your own thing, you don't have to worry about the rest, take care of the store for me, if anything goes wrong, I'll just ask!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, young master."
The steward nodded hurriedly, and then walked out quickly.
Obviously, she didn't stay in it for a long time, but she broke out in a cold sweat, although the eldest young master was not as old as him, but the momentum on his body should not be underestimated.
"It seems that the next head of the Zhou family should already be very clear." The steward sighed and said, "It's just that the eldest young master's temperament is too impatient, and after some training, he will definitely be able to become a qualified family master." ”
Of course, Si Si didn't know anything about these things that happened to the Zhou family, and of course he wouldn't know what he had been worried about.
She was now in the middle of the letter, and she couldn't do it.
"Ahh What a thing this is! ”
Si Si looked at the letter that was said to be handed over to him by Master Qi, which was sent by Qi Zhaodi, and the expression on her face was still a little strange when she sent it.
"Just take a look, I don't know what my father said, if you're not happy, then leave him alone."
Qi Zhaodi left such a sentence and went back to work.
Si Si opened the letter, and in his heart it probably meant that Master Qi and his aunt missed him, and wanted to let him go home to see them when he wanted.
