"Yes." Sun Hao saw that Lin Xiaozhu was unhappy, so he was reluctant to take the silver and run to Zhou Ji. After a while, he bought a large box of dim sum and handed it to Lin Xiaozhu.

Since Widow Qin wants to drive away Shopkeeper Luo, the dim sum shop she opened will naturally have a price war with Liu Ji, and all the dim sum is one percent cheaper than Liu Ji. In addition, there is a nine-percent discount, and two coins of silver buy back a lot of dim sum. Lin Xiaozhu opened the box and counted them, and saw that there were six or seven kinds of dim sum bought, and asked, "In addition to these, how many kinds have not been bought?" ”

"There are seven or eight more." Sun Hao said.

Lin Xiaozhu nodded, set aside a piece of each snack, and handed the rest to them: "You guys can also taste it." ”

Two boys grew up in the mountains, where have they ever eaten such exquisite dim sum? At this time, he also forgot his hatred for Widow Qin, and happily ate his heart.

Lin Xiaozhu tasted all the snacks on hand, then stood up and said to the two, "I'll go next door to Liu Ji." With that, he walked out.

"Girl, what are she doing here?" Sun Hao looked at Lin Xiaozhu's back and asked.

Zhang Wendong shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I thought of some way, I want to treat the widow of Fuqin like Shopkeeper Luo." ”

Zhang Wendong guessed correctly at all. Sitting still is not Lin Xiaozhu's style. When encountering things, she feels that blind defense is the most passive, and the chance of failure in the end is the greatest; And only by attacking and knocking the opponent down is the best thing to do. Just now I asked Sun Hao to buy dim sum, she just wanted to know how well the dim sum in the weekly record was doing. And I looked at it just now, although there are many types of dim sum, they are all common pastries, and the taste is similar to Liu Ji's. This kind of dim sum is good in Yuejing, but it is not in Lin Xiaozhu's eyes.

Therefore, she went to Liu Ji at this time. I just want to have a good talk with Shopkeeper Luo. If the talk is good, then this bad thing becomes a good thing, giving her an opportunity to cooperate with Liu Ji. In this hierarchical society. You can't do it without a backer. The next time you get into trouble, it's not a matter of lying and bluffing people with non-existent backers. Therefore, if you can cooperate with Liu Ji, you can not only expand your business. increased income, and turned the capital mansion Yin into her backer. It's a win-win.

"Guest officer, please, do you want to ......" As soon as Lin Xiaozhu entered Liu Ji, Xiao Er greeted him, and when he saw that it was Lin Xiaozhu, he quickly replaced his formulaic smile with a sincere smile, and said, "Miss Chen." How did you get here? ”

"Isn't your shopkeeper there?" Lin Xiaozhu asked.

"This ......" The smile on Xiao Er's face froze, and then said, "Girl, please sit here, I'll go and see if our shopkeeper is there." After speaking, he led Lin Xiaozhu to the side and sat down, and called another junior to serve her tea, and then walked to the back.

In fact, this shop is not big, and Shopkeeper Luo has to pass through this gate when he goes in and out. He's not in the shop, and Xiao Er knows it clearly. It's just that. Since the Qin widow pestered the shopkeeper Luo, the shopkeeper Luo has been indifferent to the woman, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. Therefore, for the sweet and lovely Chen girl next door, she has always been extremely cold. Xiao Er really wasn't sure if Shopkeeper Luo wanted to see her.

Xiao Er said. Lin Xiaozhu knew that Shopkeeper Luo must be in the shop. However, Xiao Er has his difficulties, so she naturally won't expose them, and she is not worried that Shopkeeper Luo will not see her - if she doesn't see her this time, she will definitely see her next time. She sat there, took a sip of tea slowly, looked at the dim sum in the shop, and was thinking about how to persuade Shopkeeper Luo for a while to fight for her greatest interests.

After a while, Xiao Er walked back and said to Lin Xiaozhu: "Miss Chen, our shopkeeper invites you to talk in the middle." ”

Liu Ji's shop is not only larger than Lin Xiaozhu's pickle shop, but also has a room inside. When Shopkeeper Luo is usually in the shop, most of them stay in that room.

Lin Xiaozhu stood up and followed Xiao Er into the room, only to see several bookshelves along the walls inside, and the shelves were full of books. And Shopkeeper Luo was sitting behind a few cases, with a book in front of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing Lin Xiaozhu follow Xiao Er in, he hurriedly stood up, pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Miss Chen, please take a seat." ”

Sitting face-to-face across several cases like this is very much in line with Lin Xiaozhu's mind. She smiled, sat down on the chair, and bowed, "Excuse me to disturb Shopkeeper Luo." ”

"Where? Usually, Miss Chen has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. Something must be going on today. Shopkeeper Luo smiled gently.

He still has a good impression of the girl in front of him. She has always been honest in business, and she is gentle and reserved towards people, never different because of the other party's wealth or status. Unlike the original Qin widow, the east family ran around the west family, and when she saw a man with a little wealth and a handsome appearance, she was entangled like kraft candy. And this Miss Chen, when he signed the contract, he found that this person's ability is by no means simple; When dealing with the second tiger that day, she was even more soft and strong, calm and self-controlled, decisive in killing, and not like an ordinary girl at all.

Lin Xiaozhu quietly raised his head, looked at the shopkeeper Luo, and said straight to the point: "Zhou Ji on the opposite side opened, I sent Sun Hao to inquire, and I knew that the dim sum shop was originally opened by the widow Qin who was married and became an aunt's wife, and it should be specially for you, Liu Ji." Because she was dissatisfied with me for renting her shop, she bought Erhu to blackmail me last time, and she won't let me go this time. If she can't deal with you for a while, there's a good chance she'll come to me first. I don't know what the shopkeeper Luo has to deal with this matter. ”

Shopkeeper Luo was stunned and looked at Lin Xiaozhu in amazement. He himself is a straightforward person, but the people around him are all affected by Confucian etiquette, and he usually likes to speak and do things first coldly, then closely, and then express his meaning in the most euphemistic way. But the Chen girl in front of him seems to be more straightforward than himself, speaking and doing things directly to the heart, and the interests are clearly stated - because of the matter of Widow Qin, I was affected by the pond fish, and I was affected by you, you think what should be done!

In the face of Lin Xiaozhu like this, he suddenly felt that it was not a very disgusting thing to be dealt with by Widow Qin with her.

"I really haven't figured out anything good about it. Because before this, Zhou Ji's affairs were tightly covered, and I didn't get any news at all, I really didn't expect her to be so unkind to give up, and I will definitely send someone to check her details in the next few days. However, dealing with her is nothing more than two aspects, on the one hand, it is to hit Zhou Ji hard in business while he has not yet gained a firm foothold; On the other hand, it is to find out or provoke the relationship between Widow Qin and her backstage, so that she has no support and nowhere to focus. Shopkeeper Luo said.

After saying this, he himself was stunned. If he had changed to someone else as before, he would never have explained his approach in detail, but just played a few Tai Chi, pushed the problem up, and said a few nonsense. At most, he promised that when he couldn't resist the defeat, he would find a good shop for her and compensate her for her losses.

However, he now has no regrets about saying it.

Lin Xiaozhu was quite satisfied with Shopkeeper Luo's attitude, and asked, "I wonder how Shopkeeper Luo wants to hit it hard when its foundation is unstable?" ”

This time, Shopkeeper Luo didn't answer her question directly, but leaned back on the chair and said with a smile: "Miss Chen, you asked this question so carefully, aren't you afraid that I will treat you as someone from Widow Qin's side and come to me specifically to inquire about the news?" ”

"Is there such a stupid spy who runs directly to the opponent and asks for news?" Lin Xiaozhu laughed, knowing that it was time for him to show his sincerity, and said, "I think, the first thing that Shopkeeper Luo will do next is to find dim sum masters everywhere in order to make more and better dim sum; Secondly, the price will be lowered to retain customers who want to take advantage of the price. I don't know if I'm right? ”

Shopkeeper Luo looked at her in surprise and didn't speak.

Without him talking, Lin Xiaozhu knew that the shopkeeper Luo's mind was hit by her. She then added: "But has Shopkeeper Luo thought about it, a skilled dim sum master can't be found in a while; And the price war is a way to self-harm. Before the enemy could be hurt, he wounded himself. This approach is not cost-effective no matter how you think about it. ”

"Is there a better way for Miss Chen?" Shopkeeper Luo looked at Lin Xiaozhu with bright eyes. At this time, he no longer dared to have a trace of contempt for Lin Xiaosheng. At a young age, it is not easy to analyze things so deeply and speak the truth.

Lin Xiaozhu didn't answer, and then asked: "I want to ask Shopkeeper Luo, if the price is lowered, it is the same as the price of Zhouji's dim sum, do you think you can retain customers?" ”

Shopkeeper Luo pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Presumably not." Because people always like new things. Everyone is tired of eating dim sum here, and when we see a newly opened dim sum shop opposite, we are bound to try it. If their dim sum is made about the same as ours and the price is about the same, then they will still love it. ”

"And what if you have a lower price than that?"

Shopkeeper Luo smiled bitterly: "If it is lower than it, it will thin our profits." It's okay for a short time, but in the long run, it will definitely not be able to support it. Moreover, even if the price is low on my side, there are people who don't care about the price and like to go there to buy things. So, even though the price is low, I still can't keep them here. ”

"Then, there is only the first way left, and that is to find a dim sum chef. I don't know if the shopkeeper Luo has a number in his heart? Lin Xiaozhu asked.

Shopkeeper Luo shook his head and sighed: "The other thing is that there is no Zhou Ji, if we Liu Ji want our business to be prosperous, we have to keep innovating." However, it is easy to find a dim sum master, but it is difficult to find a master who can constantly make new dim sum. At least so far, we haven't found any of them. (To be continued)
