Chapter Seventy-Five: Harmony
What Lin Zhenniang said was nothing special, just like an acquaintance chatting in a tone. But in Xue's ears, it was a little unusual.
"What do you mean?" With wide eyes, Xue stared at Lin Zhenniang, with a fierce expression of "You come to find fault, the old lady is not afraid of you".
"What do you mean?" Lin Zhenniang didn't seem to see Xue's face, but just said "ah", as if she suddenly remembered, "Didn't you say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors?" It's been half a month since the shop was opened, and I haven't had a chance to talk to my good neighbors! β
Xue Shi blinked, and suddenly laughed: "Little girl, it's strange to pretend to be, almost let you ...... bluff" Looking Lin Zhenniang up and down, Xue Shi smiled and said: "It's not easy to say that you are not easy, you are only a little older, and you ran out to open a shop." However, this business is difficult to do! β
Tilting his body, Xue said with a smile: "Although it seems a little inappropriate to be called sister by the little lady, but if you call it so, then I will respond like this." As for me, I have always been soft-hearted, and I don't cry the most. So, I would like to remind you that business is difficult to do, and the business of Xiamenqiao is even more difficult to do. If the little lady doesn't have that ability, it's better to redeem the shop as soon as possible, don't even lose the rent when the time comes. β
"Oh, is this a kind reminder to me?" Lin Zhenniang smiled, didn't say anything else, raised her feet and walked to the shop.
Zhang Ji Bun Shop, even the morning is also sold. At this time, there are still a few diners in the shop.
Seeing Lin Zhenniang enter the shop, Xue hurriedly followed, and looked at Lin Zhenniang with good eyes, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly do something.
Look around. Lin Zhenniang didn't seem to see Xue's appearance as if she was facing a great enemy, so she just smiled and asked, "Why didn't you see Boss Zhang?" β
"What are you looking for him?" Xue frowned, "It's a small business, and I can't afford to hire so many people." Naturally, you have to be busy yourselfβlittle lady, if you have anything to do with me, tell me about itβI did the Lord's shop. β
"That's nature. Xue Niangzi is the boss lady! Lin Zhenniang hooked the corners of her mouth, turned around, and asked abruptly: "What kind of stuffed bun did Niangzi Tong buy today?" β
"It's not pork and celery yet...... the voice paused, Xue's expression was a little strange, "What Tong Niangzi?" Our steamed bun shop has a good business, but I don't know which one you are talking about. β
"It's okay if others don't remember, how can you not even remember Mrs. Tong? Isn't that Tong Niang the one who loves to protect people in the alley? Yes. By the way, it's the one you told her to come to my shop to eat bugs! β
Approaching Xue's, she suddenly clapped her hands heavily, and when Xue's glared at her, she smiled leisurely and asked, "Do you remember?" β
Xue pouted. Snorted, and said, "What insects are not insects?" I don't even know what you're talking about! β
"Don't know?"
Lin Zhenniang's smile faded, and the girl with a straight face made the Xue family feel a sudden in her heart. "If you have anything to say, I don't like to beat around the bush."
"It's good not to beat around the bush!" Lin Zhenniang nodded, "I also like to speak straightforwardly, it's much better than hiding and tucking it - Xue, you want to fight?!" β
was suddenly asked by Lin Zhenniang, and Xue was stunned. It's to get straight to the point. You didn't ask anyone that, did you?
"What fight?" Xue Shi rolled his eyelids, "You little lady......" didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but he didn't hide his contempt.
Lin Zhenniang thought about it and smiled. Indeed, she and Xue are a little different in size. Just laughed a little, though. She immediately straightened her face again and stared at Xue.
"I know all about what you've done. Xue's, I didn't look for Mrs. Tong to testify with you, and I didn't force the aunt to ask you just now, it was because everyone was doing business on the same street. But if you continue to be so ignorant and have to do those tricks behind your back, then I can't help but find all the people and go to the yamen to talk about it. β
"Phew, I'm afraid of you!" Xue stepped forward and almost knocked Lin Zhenniang down, "You little girl, don't ask, how many years has the old lady been on this street, and she hasn't said a word to anyone." Don't say that those things in your shop have nothing to do with me, but what if they do? Your surname Tong will testify to you? You still have to go to the street gate, you think the yamen is opened by your family, you can go if you want to! β
Turning her face sideways, avoiding the saliva squirting over, Lin Zhenniang said in her heart that if she really got into a fight, maybe it would be happier than this, right?
Frowning, she raised her chin, "Harmony makes money, you are yelling so much, even the door-to-door business has been scared away by you." β
Xue raised his eyebrows, turned his head consciously, and just saw the two guests who were entering the door turn around and walk out. Even if he was still eating steamed buns just now, he also pushed the plate and asked the guy to settle the bill.
"You-" Angry and hateful, Xue Shi shouted, and subconsciously lowered his voice, "You deliberately came to our shop to quarrel, right?" Your heart's ......"
Lin Zhenniang turned sideways, feeling much more balanced because of Xue's anger.
"Do I sound like I'm arguing?" Blinking, Lin Zhenniang smiled and pointed at Xue, "Even if I was scared, it wasn't my ...... that scared."
Xue Shi endured his anger, gritted his teeth and shouted, "What the hell do you want?" β
"I didn't think anything about it!" Lin Zhenniang snorted, "I should ask you this question." Everyone is doing business, on the same street, looking up and not looking down, should be harmonious, but the boss you have to do so many things. I am a person, grievances are clear, if you respect me a foot, I respect you a foot, everyone is harmonious, each open their own shop. But if you still play these tricks, then I can't help but learn a lesson! β
Squinting her eyes, Lin Zhenniang said in a gentle voice: "The business at the end of the Xiamen Bridge, who are the people who come and go, you also know the boss." Come to think of it, the power association will first want to recognize me as a righteous sister, and you have heard about it. Ah, by the way, I heard before that the owner of the Hua Kee Noodle Restaurant was run away because he offended Wang Qi! Well, I don't have the strength to do it......"
"You're β threatening me?" Xue raised his hand, as if he wanted to grab Lin Zhenniang's double-ring bun and shake her awake. But halfway through the hand, it still retracted.
"Girl, do you think the old lady was scared? Let me tell you, when the old lady was begging for a living at Xiamen Bridge, you didn't know where it was......"
"Ahem......" A cough interrupted Xue's unspoken swear words.
Boss Zhang, who came out of the back kitchen, cleaned the placket with the cloth he grabbed in his hand, and obviously saw that there was tension between the two, but he still said lightly: "The little lady is here, sit down!" Little Sanzi, what are you doing, you don't pour tea when you come. β
Zhang Xiaosan hurriedly responded, poured tea neatly with his hands and feet, and slipped away.
Lin Zhenniang looked at the tall and thin Boss Zhang, turned her head and thought about it, and laughed.
Xue's looks very spicy, not an easy person to deal with, in the eyes of outsiders, it is probably a strong woman and a weak man, right? But as soon as her husband appeared, she immediately fell silent, and stood aside, without even saying a word. This couple is kind of interesting!
"Brother Zhang," smiled, Lin Zhenniang was not polite, and sat down directly, even speaking to Boss Zhang, ignoring the Xue family who was staring at her next to her.
"I just told my sister-in-law that doing business is the same as being a person, and you have to be kind and angry. You see, the two of us are so close, don't we have to be more harmonious! β
Although I don't know how much Boss Zhang has heard, but with Xue's current expression, this Zhang Ji's family is still a man. I just don't know the tricks that Xue did, he doesn't know it.
"Harmony makes money, and business doesn't have to be like this." Boss Zhang said lightly, his eyes swept over the Xue family, and said: "Little lady, don't worry, everyone is a small business, and the hard-earned money is earned, and I know your hardships - don't say anything else, let's do our own business well in the future." β
"Da Lang, you don't know ......" Xue Shi just said a few words, and Boss Zhang had already stood up, "Lady, you go and see how the noodles are doing, and I'll go over and alkali in a while." β
Xue snorted, although reluctantly, he still turned around and went into the back kitchen.
Seeing that Xue was gone, Boss Zhang sat down again, "Little lady, tell me the truth." Actually, I admire you very much - I'm old, and it's the first time I've seen a young lady who hasn't been able to open a shop, and it's still booming......"
Seeing that the man opposite lowered his head, he seemed to be a little gloomy, and Lin Zhenniang didn't know what to say. If others want to cross her, she will go all the way to the end, but now that Zhang Laoshi is talking to her well, she feels that she doesn't know what to do. Doing business and robbing business is a common thing, and she doesn't feel guilty about this......
Without waiting for her to speak, Zhang Laoshi had already raised his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little lady, I will look at my lady-I Zhang Laoshi has nothing worth mentioning in my life, but I am still very proud of my craftsmanship......"
Lin Zhenniang was silent, and after a long while, she laughed: "Me too, Master Zhang." β
Although I still don't know this neighbor as a competitor, I won't get close to it in the future. But at this moment, Lin Zhenniang understood Zhang Honest's mood very well.
Although these chefs are not great people, they also have their own pride!
My craft β never lose to anyone!
Only by thinking in this way can you qualify as a real chef.
When she came, Lin Zhenniang held her breath and wanted to vent, but when she left, she felt extremely relaxed. So much so that when I stepped into the shop, I still had a smile on my face.
It's just that smile, and when she turned to look at the girl who turned to look at her, she couldn't help but freeze a little.
"You are Lin Zhenniang?" The girl who spoke looked very bright and moving, but when she spoke, her eyes were squinting, and she seemed to look down on people.
Furthermore, if you ask, too......
Tilting her head, Lin Zhenniang said secretly: Could it be that when she went to find someone to make trouble, someone happened to come to her for trouble?! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
