Chapter 31 Shooting Yourself in the Foot
"Don't think that I am selfish when I say this to you, if I hadn't met you, my old mother might have ...... gone, I'm really grateful to the shopkeeper, so I want to tell you this, whether you believe it or not. "
Liu Qian bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "Ah Fu, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, I can distinguish between good guys and bad guys, you wait and see," she changed her words and asked, "How is your mother's health?" "
Thinking of this Ah Fu, she still knew when she first came to this world, his mother was in danger because she had no money for treatment, Ah Fu could only go to the street to sell herself to save her mother, she looked distressed, so she gave Ah Fu a job, and asked him to advance half a year's salary to save his mother.
Ah Fu is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and since then he has been working with Liu Tian with all his heart.
"My mother is almost in good health, and she said that she can get out of bed in two days, so she will come to see the shopkeeper," said Ah Fu with a smiling face when it came to his mother.
"That's good, you go get busy first," Liu Tian reached out and touched Ah Fu's head and said, "I'm really touched that you can come and talk to me about this today." "
Ah Fu smiled, a little embarrassed, "I'm also worried that the shopkeeper has been deceived, it's Ah Fu who is anxious, the shopkeeper's ice and snow are smart, how can he be deceived." "
In Ah Fu's eyes, Liu Tian is a fairy in the world, not only can cook a good dish, but also has a good heart, if anyone can marry Liu Tian, it is really a blessing from the previous life.
Shao Yuan got the fake recipe, so he found an excuse to go out of the restaurant, took off the placket on his body in a corner, threw it on the ground and stepped on it twice, "Phew, what kind of shopkeeper, I think it's a fool." "
He didn't go to find Liu Fengxu's mother and daughter, but went to the restaurant next door and gave it to Chen, the young owner of the restaurant.
Chen naturally didn't hide it, and launched the sauce in the restaurant the next day, and the price was much lower than that in Liutian's restaurant.
When Liu heard the news, he secretly shouted hello.
She directly found Liu Yiyuan, who was leisurely eating tea.
"Dad, you're really laid-back."
When Liu Yiyuan saw Liu Tian, he sat up and put down the teacup, "Why did Tian'er come to me when he was free?" "
"I have to ask my good aunt about this," Liu said, "I wonder if my aunt and sister are at home?" "
Liu Yiyuan didn't know what Liu Tian meant, so he asked his subordinates to call Zhao Manrou and Liu Fengxu over.
Zhao Manrou glanced at Liu Tian fiercely, and sat on Liu Yiyuan's left hand side with Liu Fengsu, clearly wanting to press Liu Tian's head.
Liu Qian looked at it and laughed secretly, and said, "Daddy, do you know, the restaurant next door has also started to do seafood sauce business, and the price is much lower than ours, and the business is getting worse and worse." "
Liu Tian led Liu Yiyuan step by step into the circle he had set up.
As soon as Liu Yiyuan heard this, he wrinkled his brows, "This sauce was made by you, how did they get the recipe for the sauce?" "
"I also think it's very strange," Liu Qian deliberately pretended to be puzzled, "Some time ago, a young man came to my restaurant, and yesterday I gave him the recipe, and he disappeared, and then, the restaurant next door made a hoisin sauce." "
As soon as Liu Yiyuan heard this, he said regretfully, "Tilt, you are really smart, you are confused for a while, how can you give the secret recipe of this sauce to outsiders?" "
"Dad listened to me first," Liu Tian was not in a hurry, "This person's name is Shao Yuan, fortunately, I found him, he was worried that I would report to the official, so he recruited everything, and I only then knew that he was found by his aunt and sister." "
As soon as Zhao Manrou heard this, she couldn't sit still, "Liu Tian, don't spew blood." "
"Oh, auntie, why are you so uncontrollable," Liu Tian still didn't say anything, "I didn't believe it at first, I felt that this Shao Yuan was a man of his own heart and wanted to provoke the relationship between me and my aunt, so I brought him over, if my aunt has any grievances, you can confront him face to face," Liu Tian knew that Zhao Manrou and Liu Fengxu were both people who didn't cry when they didn't see the coffin, and they would definitely die and not admit it, so they deliberately made a pretense.
As soon as she heard the face-to-face confrontation, Zhao Manrou's arrogant arrogance weakened a lot.
"This ...... I don't need to. "
"Does the aunt admit that she found Shao Yuan?" Liu Qian looked surprised.
The handkerchief in Zhao Manrou's hand was twisted, and she couldn't wait to rush over and grab Hua Liutian's face, so she could only whisper, "I admit it." "
Liu Yiyuan's face was cold, and his eyes became a little fierce when he looked at Zhao Manrou.
"I'm just curious, how did I know that Shao Yuan would give the recipe to outsiders," Zhao Manrou hated that Shao Yuan to death in her heart.
"If my aunt is curious, I just need to ask me, besides, I have never seen my aunt so enthusiastic about these things in the kitchen before, if my aunt doesn't have any second thoughts, I really don't know what my aunt wants this recipe for," Liu Tian revealed a message in and out of his words, that is, Zhao Manrou wanted to give the secret sauce recipe to the restaurant next door.
"Daddy also knows that the restaurant next door has always been our strong opponent, and has been suppressing us before, seeing that we have the secret recipe for seafood sauce here, and can fight back, who knows that my aunt actually gave the sauce recipe to others, it is really impossible to prevent it, the restaurant next door used to think that we were just a small restaurant that was about to go out of business, and disdained to compete with us, and now seeing that our restaurant is getting better and better, they will definitely compete with us with all their might, if it goes on like this, as long as the restaurant next door comes to its senses, It will be difficult for our restaurant to revitalize again. "
Liu Tian analyzed the pros and cons, listened to Liu Yiyuan's sweat, and thought that he had passed from the restaurant next door not long ago, and when he met the people of the Chen family, he still looked arrogant to himself, if it wasn't for the slow revitalization of his own restaurant, where could the people of the Chen family look down on themselves.
As soon as he thought of this, he said to Zhao Man sharply, "What kind of heart do you have?" "
Seeing that Liu Yiyuan didn't believe what he said at all, Zhao Manrou wanted to cry without tears, and silently wrung a handkerchief on the side.
"Dad, look at this account book, I've been right several times, but I just can't get it," Liu Tian said helplessly, "This is still two days ago when the county magistrate came to our restaurant for dinner, but I clearly remember that it was fifty taels of silver, but there were only five taels of silver on the bill, Dad, do you think this is right?" A county order only cost five taels of silver. "
Zhao Manrou's eyes were a little evasive, and she was about to excuse herself when she was stopped by Liu Yiyuan.
"Zhao Manrou, you have been in my Liu family for so many years, where have I treated you badly? I didn't expect you to be dissatisfied, to do these things behind my back, and to deal with me with outsiders, are you worthy of me? "
Zhao Manrou lowered her head and shouted, "Master......"
"Forget it, since I can't control you, then you can go home," Liu Yiyuan was angry, didn't listen to Zhao Manrou's words at all, and called someone to bring pen and ink, "I'll give you a letter of resignation, and from now on, my Liu family will have nothing to do with you." "
Zhao Manrou saw that Liu Yiyuan was going to move seriously, and was immediately frightened, and hurriedly threw herself at Liu Yiyuan's feet and knelt down, tears falling down, "Master, I have followed you for so many years, without merit and hard work, and now that Su'er is so old, do you want her to have no mother, ...... master?"
Liu Yiyuan's hand that was about to put down the pen paused, and looked at Zhao Manrou, who was crying heartbreakingly in front of him, and his heart softened.
Zhao Manrou saw that Liu Yiyuan's heart was loose, and then cried, "Master, do you remember that when you were sick in bed, I fed you with a mouthful of food, I wiped your body and fed you medicine, I never made a declaration, I just hope that the master will spare me this time for the sake of the past." "
Liu Yiyuan completely softened, he put down his pen, looked at Zhao Manrou who knelt in front of him, and sighed.
"Okay, I'll spare you this time, but the management of the restaurant, you just let it go, just leave it to Tilter, and you can just take a break."
Zhao Manrou was relieved, but when she heard Liu Yiyuan say that she would hand over the management of the restaurant to Liu Tian, she was unwilling again.
Liu Tian took over the restaurant, the first thing was to rectify the manager of the restaurant, before Zhao Manrou was in power, he picked some people who knew how to see the wind and steer the rudder, these people in addition to saying good things, there was no real talent and learning, and the closure of the restaurant was inseparable from them.
And these people are very familiar with Zhao Manrou, Zhao Manrou usually fills her pockets in the restaurant, and they all see it, but none of them stand up and say.
Seeing that she replaced several old employees in one go, and several old employees came over to cry to her, Zhao Manrou couldn't sit still, those old employees were all pulled up by her, and they were all her henchmen.
Liu Fengxu invited a few old employees to dinner, and at the dinner table, she instigated the old employees to make trouble and deliberately scare them, "If you don't resist and don't let that girl know how powerful you are, then you can only let others handle it in the future, Uncle Feng is an example, he is usually a good person, but he hasn't let Liu Tian replace him." "
Uncle Feng, who was mentioned, sighed and said, "That girl is really unkind, if she doesn't give her a little color, she really doesn't know how many catties and taels she has." "
These words were all discussed by them, and it would be more effective to let Uncle Feng say them to these old employees.
The next day, the Liu family's restaurant was smashed, and the plaque of the restaurant was shaky and almost fell down.
Liu Qian walked into the restaurant and asked if it was a few old employees who were making trouble.
Lin Feng followed into the restaurant, and asked a few people under his command to hold the old employees who were making trouble and stabilize the situation first.
He pulled Liu Tian aside and said in a low voice, "These old employees must have been instigated, you might as well leave a few employees with better popularity first, and wait for the situation to stabilize before making plans." "
"No", Liu Tian frowned and shook her head firmly, these corpses are vegetarian, she has long been unaccustomed to seeing them, leaving them to do things under her nose, I don't know what moths will be, she doesn't want to leave trouble in the future.
