Chapter 36: Shopkeeper Hong makes trouble

"Mother, I'm still young, and I don't want to get married so soon."

Li Yingyun threw herself into her mother's arms and said coquettishly.

She knew her mother's character, and to say this was to test herself, and the more she confronted her, the more suspicious she became.

"You kid, you're fifteen years old, are you still young?"

"It's just small~ And the hero Yingwei hasn't grown up yet, and his daughter has to share the affairs of supporting the family for her mother."

"Your two younger brothers are much more sensible now, and now they can help with things, you just have to get married, my mother is sorry for you, you have to bear so much at a young age, you have already begun to bear the housework when your two younger brothers are so old."

Mother Li lovingly stretched out her hand and stroked Li Yingyun's green silk: "The daughters of ten miles and eight towns are all twelve or thirteen years old, if your father is alive, I am afraid that you are also married at this moment, it is my mother who delayed you, fortunately, fifteen years old is not too late, my mother urged the matchmaker to hurry up, our Yun'er looks so beautiful, and we don't have to worry about getting married." ”

"Mother~ People don't want to get married, they want to guard their mother for the rest of their lives~" Li Yingyun is still coquettish.

"Be good, obedient, the eldest woman should marry, if she doesn't marry, wouldn't it be a shame to say it?" Mother Li pretended to be angry and raised her face, "Could it be that she has a sweetheart, so she refuses like this?" ”

Although he had already been mentally prepared, Li Yingyun was still taken aback.

The mother said so many things before, just to lead to this last sentence, if she answers the matter of marriage, I am afraid that she will soon get married, if not, the mother will definitely guess this.

Who is the sweetheart, the mother will definitely think it is Peng Yue.

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about! My daughter's whole mind is on fishing and earning money to support the family, but you say this about me so plainly! ”

Li Yingyun also looked angry, don't turn her face and ignore her mother.

Mother Li saw that her daughter reacted so much, and she felt indebted to her daughter again, so she was patient again: "Yun'er, my mother is not talking nonsense about you, you worry about your family, your mother, and your brother on weekdays, but your mother can't waste your youth in vain!" If there is one of the unmarried men who go to sea to do things together, you will tell your mother, and your mother will mention you to kiss. ”

"I don't want it, mother, my daughter said it, now I just want to guard my mother, and raise the hero with my mother to become an adult, I don't want to do anything else, if you insist on kissing me, my daughter will ignore you!"

Saying that, Li Yingyun took off her coat and lay down on the bed in a negative manner, carrying her mother without saying a word.

Although Li's mother was suspicious in her heart, she couldn't talk at home, not only did she not find out her daughter's intentions, but she made her daughter unhappy, so she sighed, sat on the edge of the bed, and said lightly: "Yun'er, my mother shouldn't say this about you, but you also take what your mother said to heart. ”

"Also, Mr. Peng is our benefactor, handsome, graceful and literate, if you like your mother, it is not surprising, but his family, we really can't afford to climb high, my mother has no big wishes in this life, I just want you three sisters and brothers, grow up well, live a life in peace and stability, but you can't make a lot of money, no big deal, and your mother is content."

But after the words fell for a long time, Li Yingyun didn't speak again, and Li's mother had no choice but to get up and pick up the oil lamp and exit the room.

When the door closed, Li Yingyun slowly opened his eyes.

She doesn't blame her mother for this.

If it is put on others, she will also persuade others like this, let alone her own daughter.

But Li Yingyun knows that Peng Yue is different from others.

They are lovers in their previous lives, and they will continue in this life.

Peng Yue's character mother wants to know, but she just feels that her family background is too poor and she is not worthy of Peng Yue.

"Mother, I will work hard, one day I can be worthy of Peng Yue, so that everyone blesses us, not that we are not suitable."

Li Yingyun muttered an oath, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

This incident was like an episode, after dawn the next day, the mother and daughter did not mention it again, and even when Peng Yue asked, Li Yingyun felt that it was a dream.

But the mother was also trustworthy, and said that she would not find a matchmaker, so no matchmaker came to the door to say goodbye.

Li Yingyun went to sea to fish as usual, and Li's mother took care of the family affairs as usual, the only difference was that because Peng Yue also went to sea from time to time now, the hero and Yingwei were sent to study in the school.

As a result, there are only two people in the family, Li Mu and Dou Ding.

The days lasted for about half a month, Li Yingyun led the villagers to be proficient in the manufacturing methods of the major restaurants, and personally delivered the goods a few times.

Because the seafood shop is also a seafood product from Lijia Village, the flavor is unique, and it is very popular with the people.

The Hung Kee grocery store itself is the largest grocery store in the city, but the shopkeeper of Hung is a profiteer, although the major restaurants in the city have launched seafood products from Lijia Village, but because the common people rarely go to the restaurant at any time, they will also buy some seafood such as seaweed cakes in Hung Kee.

Hung Kee's business is fair.

However, after the opening of Li Kee Seafood Shop, because there are more types, better taste and fresher seafood, most of the customers of Hung Kee have been divided.

The shopkeeper didn't know that this was Li Yingyun's shop, but he only knew that someone had robbed him of his business, and he gathered a group of people to come over and smash the signboard again.

That Li Yingyun has been busy in the store recently, so he invited two jobs, and those two jobs saw that the shopkeeper Hong was menacing, and he was busy reporting to Li Yingyun.

But when Li Yingyun arrived, it was too late.

The shopkeeper of Na Hong was a vulgar person, relying on a little financial resources to do evil in the city, walking sideways, and the people who called him were also family members in the house, all of them were not vegetarians, and soon smashed the goods of Li Ji Seafood Shop all over the ground.

"You hurry up and report to the official, just say that there are gangsters robbing the store, please ask the county magistrate to order someone to come over quickly."

Li Yingyun said to Xiao Wu, who came to report the situation.

"Yes, shopkeeper."

After Xiao Wu left, Li Yingyun calmly stepped into his shop.

The shopkeeper brought a lot of people over and smashed the things in the store, so there were many spectators gathered at the door of the store.

"Shopkeeper Hong, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you doing?"

The clean and simple seafood shop was smashed all over the ground by Shopkeeper Hong, Li Yingyun frowned, but he still didn't offend Shopkeeper Hong, but his eyes looked a little unkind.

"Li Yingyun? Did you come to town to deliver seafood to Zhou Ji? How? Do business with this shop? ”

When the shopkeeper saw that it was Li Yingyun, he suddenly thought of her acquaintance with Mrs. Zhizhou, and his anger was not vented after all, but there was indeed mockery in his words.

"Not bad."

Li Yingyun did not hide it and directly admitted this statement.

"Li Yingyun, I agree with you to sell seafood to Zhou's restaurant, but I didn't let you sell these seafood to this seafood shop, didn't he make it clear that he wanted to steal business from me?"

"My Hong Ji is the biggest shop in the city, and if you sell something to him, it is tantamount to cutting off your own money! If you are really afraid that the sales will not be good, you tell me, it's a big deal, we will raise the price and give you more benefits! ”

The shopkeeper Hong has a lot of money and takes the monopoly of the market for granted.

Li Yingyun knew this person's character very well, and he didn't even frown, and said with a smile: "I told the shopkeeper Hong that the purchase money should be as much as it should be, and we are all reputable, and we will not use other customers to sit on the ground and raise prices." ”

"Besides, if we sell it to you at a high price, wouldn't you increase the price of these seaweed cakes again for the sake of profit? How else do the people eat? ”

The words fell, winning the unanimous approval of the audience: "That's it!" The purchase price has risen, and the price of selling to us will naturally be expensive! This shopkeeper Hong is really good at doing business! ”

"That is, eating seaweed cake is because this thing is good for the body, and the price of seafood is low compared to other seafood, if the price increases, how can you afford to eat it in the future?"

"Shopkeeper Hong turned out to be so treacherous! Maybe the price of the seaweed cake he sells to us is much higher than the market price outside! I won't go to his house to buy it in the future! ”

"It's a pity that this Li Ji seafood shop was smashed by this Hong shopkeeper, otherwise I would have come to buy it!"

Everyone began to talk about it, and the words reached the ears of Shopkeeper Hong, making him even more angry.

"Li Yingyun! I, Hong, am different from you because of the face of your acquaintance with Mrs. Zhizhou! I have nothing to do with you today, even if this store is closed, you won't starve to death without this customer! ”

"Hurry up and go back and make your seaweed cake, I'm here to find the owner of this shop!"

"I'm the owner of this shop, Boss Hong, you're only half right."

Li Yingyun continued with the shopkeeper Hong's words, with a contemptuous smile on his face.

This Boss Hong really regards himself as the overlord of the city, and even opened a new store, only the goods of seaweed cake coincide, so he wants to come over and smash the store, he is really rampant and domineering, only when he teaches him a lesson today, he understands that she Li Yingyun is not easy to mess with.

When Shopkeeper Hong heard this, he was so angry that his face turned white.

A few days ago, I heard that she owed a debt to the people in the village and was thrown vegetable leaves, but I didn't expect that this little girl would be able to earn a shop in just a few months!

"Li Yingyun! What do you mean? While producing seafood by myself, I also opened my own shop and sold it here! I think you're sincerely trying to steal my business! ”

"Open the door to do business, there is no robbery or non-robbery, if I remember correctly, the Hong Ji grocery store of the Hong shopkeeper was also maliciously suppressed the market price at the beginning, compared to the Hong shopkeeper, the little woman is really much better, and the selling price of seafood is according to the market price."

Li Yingyun stroked a strand of broken hair, and his tone was quite sarcastic.

After she said this, some of the people present who had experienced that period of malicious competition also remembered, bowed their heads and said to their side, and in a while, the crowd had spread the "glorious deeds" of the Hong shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Hong's fat and round face turned into pig liver color in an instant, and he pointed at Li Yingyun's nose and scolded; "How dare you say you're here at market price! I've heard that the seaweed cakes you sell here are two pennies cheaper than mine! Two pennies! ”

"Yes, because the price of seaweed cakes is indeed only a penny."

Li Yingyun hooked her lips.
