But businessmen are heavy on profits, and they have never done loss-making business, so this old man must have other requirements.

And who knows how many words in his mouth are false, and how many are true?

Qian Qianqian thought of these two points, her restless heart calmed down, and she also opened the skylight and spoke brightly.

"If you are sincere, let me see your sincerity."

The old man was prepared, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, and pushed them in front of Qian Qianqian: "This is the deed of my shop, as well as the source of spices, Boss Qian is thinking about it, if you agree to exchange it with the recipe of the hot pot base, then these are all yours." ”

The old man showed his sincerity, but Qian Qianqian became more and more suspicious.

I have been doing my job for decades, how can I say that I will give up?

Qian Qianqian looked down at the deed and pushed it back: "You have suffered a big loss, I don't want to go, how dare you ask for it." ”

The old man's brows jumped, and a calculation flashed in his eyes: "Boss Qian is not a person who likes to take advantage, and I know it, so if Boss Qian is sincere, he can give a few hundred taels of silver at will." ”

finally mentioned money, and Qian Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Regret appeared in her eyes: "This is a good deal, but I can't hide it, I bought the land in Qianjia Village since I rented it, and I have it in my hand, but I don't have a penny."

Qian Qianqian suggested, "Do you want to ask the other merchants?" ”

The old man knew that this business would not be done, and if he insisted on going on, it might arouse suspicion. The old man lowered his face, pushed away the chair and got up, glanced at Qian Qianqian several times, and looked like he didn't know the hearts of good people: "Boss Qian doesn't know how to do business so much, and he doesn't want any bargains in front of him, and one day he will lose his fortune." ”

Since she tore her face, Qian Qianqian didn't have a smiling face, she snorted coldly, and made a gesture of invitation with one hand: "Don't bother you to worry about this, it's good to go, don't send it." ”

The old man snorted, left angrily, and turned to talk to the others about business.

As soon as the old man left, Qian Hui, who had been hiding behind the door, came out with a puzzled expression.

"He wants to leave this town, so even if there is a recipe for hot pot base, it will not pose a threat to us, and only one recipe is needed, and you can change a shop for decades, as well as old customers and purchase sources, this is a harmless business, why should the eldest sister refuse?"

The more books he reads, the more things Qian Hui can consider.

But in the end, he is too young to experience intrigues and intrigues, and he only sees things on the surface, and it is difficult to perceive the power.

Qian Qianqian beckoned to him and motioned for him to come and sit down.

"What kind of businessman do you think the owner of this spice shop is?"

Qian Hui sat down, condensed his eyebrows and thought seriously: "He is shrewd and powerful, and he is also sleek and hearty." ”

"And what," Qian Qianqian asked.

Qian Hui half-squinted, quite confused, what else?

He suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, and he slapped the table and said, "I will never suffer a loss." ”

This town is not small or big, although not every household knows it, but every day when something happens to someone, it doesn't take half a day's work, it can be spread all over the town.

After moving to town for so long, Qian Hui has occasionally heard about the owner of the spice shop slamming the door.

Saying that other family members do business, in line with the idea of multiple repeat customers, they are always willing to give customers a little cheap, such as two green onions for vegetable sellers, two bones for pork sellers, and more tofu for tofu sellers.

But only this one, the owner of the spice shop, will not give more to the guests when he picks up a grain of pepper, and even the packaged oil paper, if he doesn't bring it, it will cost money to take it from him.

Because of this extreme behavior, someone scolded the spice shop at both ends in three days, and scolded the shop owner from the street to the alley.

But even if he was scolded twice in three days, it didn't change the owner of the shop at all.

So how can such a picky person come to the door and suffer? There must be a trap inside!

Qian Hui figured it out and suddenly realized: "It's still the eldest sister who thinks it through." ”

Immediately, his two caterpillar-like eyebrows furrowed again: "But what exactly does he want to do?" ”

Qian Qianqian was dissatisfied and didn't care: "As long as we don't get involved in this matter, we will naturally know after a few days." ”

"Doesn't that make others fall in his way?" Qian Hui said subconsciously.

Qian Qianqian was stunned, she didn't realize it, she really looked like a businessman, she only cared about her own interests.

She pursed her lips, her throat was astringent, she didn't know how to explain to Qian Hui the principle of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and being alone, she snorted her lips a few times, and finally left without a word.

The next day, in Qian Qianqian's hot pot restaurant, I saw the owner of the spice shop through the window, dressed lightly, with only a burden on his body passing in front of her.

A string in Qian Qianqian's heart suddenly broke, she walked out in a few steps, and stopped people with a smile: "Where are you going, why are you leaving alone early in the morning, or I will let the guys in the store send you?" ”

It was still early, the sky was bright, and the peasant women who sold vegetables carried their burdens from the village to the town, scattered in various places on the street, and the whole street was exceptionally clean

Qian Qianqian's voice was so clear that the old man couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it.

His body stiffened, and a little annoyance crossed his face.

"No need, I'm busy running errands, so I won't talk to Boss Qian."

After saying that, the old man was about to walk in the direction of leaving the town in a hurry, and when Qian Qianqian saw this, he was even more sure that he had done something unseemly, and he would leave in a hurry now.

Qian Qianqian's hand stretched forward, and deftly stopped in front of the old man again, the old man frowned and was about to get angry, Qian Qianqian smiled: "Don't blame, I thought about it for a long time last night, I really don't know how to lift, I missed such a good business of yours in vain, I don't know if I can make up for it now?" ”

The old man shook his hand: "Three hundred taels of silver were sold to Lao Chen, do you regret it now?" It's late! ”

"Three hundred taels of silver? Boss Chen has nothing else for you except silver, right? You don't think it's like this, I use the recipe of the hot pot base, and then scrape together three hundred taels of silver, how about you sell the shop to me? ”

Qian Qianqian had no intention of buying the shop, but it was just to stall for time and find out what the old man had done.

He can walk away, and someone else will have to clean up the whole mess for him.

Reason told Qian Qianqian that as long as things didn't happen to her, she wouldn't care, but when it really came to a critical moment, she still couldn't bear to stand by and watch.

Since the old man was in such a hurry to leave, it meant that the matter would soon be exposed, so as long as she dragged him back, the matter would soon come to light.

And the old man was also very hesitant and entangled at this time.

The recipe of the hot pot base has a lot of temptations for him, as long as he has that recipe, where can he not make money?

The old man struggled for a while and asked, "How long will it take you to collect three hundred taels of silver?" ”

"Three days."

Qian Qianqian stretched out three fingers, looking sincere and sincere.

The old man was vigilant against Qian Qianqian, and suddenly doubted: "I didn't buy it yesterday, why did I beg to buy it today?" Boss Qian, don't do any tricks with me. ”

It was inconvenient to talk outside, and there were more and more people, Qian Qianqian invited the old man into the hot pot restaurant, sat down and said: "You should also know a little bit about my life experience, a person who climbed from Qianjia Village to the town with his family, suffered a lot, and was naturally cautious in everything he did, for fear of making a mistake, and accidentally ruining all his hard work." ”

Qian Qianqian said, her eyes were red, as if all the sadness was springing up, she lowered her head and wiped her eyes, raised it and said embarrassedly: "So suddenly something good happened to me, I am not angry, not only did I not grasp it well, but I hesitated and wandered, which made you laugh and joke, and I hope that for the sake of this hot pot base, I can give me another chance." ”

Three days......

The old man looked at Qian Qianqian and thought about the question of time.

Three days...... The time is too tight.

He nodded in response: "In this case, Boss Qian might as well give me the recipe for the hot pot base first to show his sincerity, and I will give you the supply, and when you have collected three hundred taels of silver, I will give you the house deed and land deed." What do you think, Boss Qian? ”

This is to put her together, and the white wolf with empty gloves will take away her hot pot base recipe.

Qian Qianqian secretly felt funny in her heart, but hesitation appeared on her face.

"This ...... That's okay, but the formula is in my mother's hands, and today is unfortunate, she went out to visit relatives, and she won't be able to come back until evening, and I can only give you this formula early tomorrow morning. ”

I can wait early tomorrow morning, and the old man responded: "Okay, I'll wait for you at the door of the hot pot restaurant tomorrow morning." ”

After saying that, the old man left with a smile on his face.

I thought I could only make a few hundred taels and left, but I didn't expect that at the last moment, someone sent the hot pot base he had in mind, which was really unexpected, unexpected.

After the old man left, Qian Qianqian waited until Tongbo came, then turned around and left, changed into men's clothes and came to the spice shop.

The spice shop is still the same as usual, Ah Sheng, who has always had a gloomy face, is also there, and the only thing that has changed is the old man with a white beard, and he has become Boss Chen with a fat belly.

Boss Chen's family is in the fabric business, although he bears the name of the boss, but everyone in the town knows that it is actually Mrs. Chen who is really in charge.

Mrs. Chen has a good eye, and the fabrics in the store are all selected by her, so the business in the store has been prosperous, and even Mother Qian loves to buy fabrics to Chen's house.

So for Boss Chen, Qian Qianqian has also met a few times.

Boss Chen also recognized Qian Qianqian at a glance, after all, almost everyone in the town remembered Qian Qianqian when he was framed in the hot pot restaurant.

And now, this is not only a conversation after dinner, but also his big customer, Boss Chen squinted his eyes with a smile and ran over one after another.

"Yo, isn't this Boss Qian, why is the spice gone? Come on, I'll give you a cheaper calculation of how much you want! ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was different from the old man's generosity.

Qian Qianqian smiled and nodded, she said hello, she glanced at Ah Sheng, who had been staring at the two of them in the shop, approached and lowered her head and asked Boss Chen: "Boss Chen is not doing a good fabric business, why did he do this?" ”

Boss Chen was embarrassed by this question, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "This is not the one in the family who is in charge of that side, and the money is not too much, so I will take this shop next." ”

Qian Qianqian smiled meaningfully: "Then Boss Chen will take me in and have a look." ”
