Chapter 106: Spread
"You just help Yueya to ask, what if someone orders?" Aunt Liu said.
Jiang Han said again: "Tomorrow, you bring a few strings of zongzi and give them to your colleagues to eat, if they think it is delicious, I recommend them to order some back for the Dragon Boat Festival and give them a taste for the family!" β
"How do you know that people don't eat good food and then go home and let their family do the same?" Liu Dakang said.
"You can do it, but you can do it yourself once or twice, and you won't be able to grasp the proportion of seasoning for a while, and the taste of it won't be as good as ours!" Jiang Han said smugly, "From the beginning to the present, Yun Niang and I have adjusted the taste five times. β
"If you say so, wouldn't it be possible to imitate the zongzi business soon if you do it a few more times?" Aunt Liu is a little worried, if that is the case, it will be even more difficult for others to order.
"It's not that fast, I've only sold a few hundred so far, and some people may have noticed, but the market reaction is not good at the moment, and there won't be too many imitations. If the business of the big market is good the day after tomorrow, then someone may imitate it immediately. β
Aunt Liu said: "Then don't sell this episode!" β
"No, auntie, you have to go!" Jiang Han hooked the corners of his lips, and said with sparkling eyes, "We now have a great advantage, which others can't imitate!" And guess what? β
"What is it?" Everyone looked at her strangely.
"That is, in the entire Luoxia Town, and even in the entire Qinghe County, only our zongzi have been robbed by bandits! Now that this matter has been spread all over the city, this is a great opportunity, and I am ready to play this 'thief' signboard! β
"Who can imitate this, do you have to go to the bandits to grab a round? Hahaha, if it sells well, I have to thank these bandits! Jiang Han crossed his waist and laughed.
"......" Aunt Liu looked at her speechlessly.
"Can this work?"
"Of course it works, auntie, just look at it! I asked Xiao An to write the signboard for me! Jiang Han said domineeringly.
She, a "person", has been consumed by the king's shopkeeper for a few days, and if she doesn't consume this matter herself, won't she suffer in vain and just count the money for others?
"So, Brother Kang, you have to do me a favor! You just say that this is a 'thief robbed zongzi', who can not know those big and small catches, and they must be curious about what kind of different zongzi they are, hehe, take this opportunity to try to help me get a few lists back, at least let Uncle Zhao order some ......"
"Uncle Zhao is kind to you, you should give him ...... to eat," Father Jiang retorted.
"Dad, a bunch or two must be given to him to eat, but the order must be made! Uncle Zhao is a signboard, if he orders it, with his words, others will have to give face if they don't follow suit! We have earned money, and no matter how much we thank him, it will be the same! β
"Okay, Dakang, you can talk to your Uncle Zhao, this little favor must be helpful too! No, we can give him some and let him help him tell the public that it's ordered......"
Jiang Han's eyes flashed brightly, and he said excitedly: "Auntie is right, this method is good, Brother Kang, you can help me talk to Uncle Zhao like this!" β
Liu Dakang was caught between the two women, so he had to reluctantly nod and said, "I'll try!" β
"Okay, after the zongzi is finished, I'll talk about something else!" Aunt Liu clapped her hands, took out something from her purse, and handed it to Jiang Han, "You take this with you!" β
Jiang Han took it and saw that it was a folded rune paper, and she looked at Aunt Liu with some confusion.
"This is what I asked for from the Eight Immortals Nunnery, Jing Shitai, to give you peace to avoid villains! Put it away! Aunt Liu said reverently.
"Auntie, none of this is allowed...... You've spent a lot of money on this, haven't you? β
Jiang Han was very moved in his heart, but he felt that it was really stupid to give his hard-earned money to these nunnery temples who only knew how to collect money.
"Not much! No amount of money is worth anything, don't care about that! After the Dragon Boat Festival, let's take a moment and go to the Eight Immortals Nunnery to worship together, and then the aunt will ask Master Jing to show you! β
"No, auntie! I don't have the money to ......," Jiang Han cried out with a sad face.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Liu smiled and said: "A penny is also a heart, and the Bodhisattva will not be poor and love rich!" β
Jiang Han slandered wildly in his heart: Who said that no one knows whether the Bodhisattva hates the poor and loves the rich, but the spokesperson of the Bodhisattva in the world hates the poor and loves the rich the most! You don't see those who are treated as guests, which one of the people who grabs the incense is not a rich person?
It's just that these are indistinguishable from Aunt Liu, who is obsessed with burning incense and worshiping Buddha.
β¦β¦
Song Yaozu was only released home the evening of the next day.
He was also unlucky to be locked up for so long.
Because he was also being used, Lord Shen didn't mean to lock him up for a long time, he originally wanted him to stay in the class room for one night and teach him a long lesson.
I didn't know that the next day, the people who could talk to the inspection department went to Dongshan Village, and no one thought of him at all, so they locked him up for an extra day without eating or drinking.
Fortunately, when everyone was discussing in the study, Xiao Song mentioned him again, and Lord Shen remembered that he was still locked in the class room.
He didn't go home for two days and one night, but the thief and the inspector appeared at his house one after another, and his family was so anxious that his mother was seriously ill.
After this round of tossing, he completely understood what it meant to "harm others and hurt himself" - he only started up, but there were so many things that he couldn't control, and in the end, Jiang Han suffered a big loss, and he also made himself miserable.
Therefore, Song Yaozu, who returned to the teahouse, also had some changes.
Although the two of them still didn't speak awkwardly when they saw Jiang Han, when he greeted the guests, there was less flattery and calculation on his body.
Shopkeeper Wang didn't want to fire him at all, he consumed Jiang Han completely, and Song Yaozu came back, which happened to be a supplement.
In the past two days, he kept preaching Song Yaozu's cleverness and courage in the teahouse, and notified the Inspection Department at the critical moment, saving Jiang Han's life.
Whenever this happened, Jiang Han couldn't help but despise him.
I never imagined that the shopkeeper Wang, who seemed kind and considerate at the beginning, had tasted the sweetness of taking advantage of the heat twice, and became so frantic about this kind of hot topic of consumption!
β¦β¦
On this day, Lord Shen and Lu Tong came to the teahouse again.
The excitement of the shopkeeper Wang reached a high point.
He was almost dizzy with joy, trembling his hands, and stepped forward with a smile: "My lord, it is an honor to be here with you, and the small shop is shining!" Adults, please go to the private room on the second floor, the villain ......"
"The shopkeeper's rest, Lord Shen came to Jiang Xiaoer to ask questions, the shopkeeper just let him serve!" Lu Tong looked at his over-the-top smile, coughed lightly, and said.
"Okay, he's on the second floor, and the villain will lead you two up to find him! Your Excellency, please! The king's shopkeeper stretched out his hand respectfully.
The three of them ran into Jiang Han at the staircase on the second floor, and Lu Tong took the shopkeeper Wang away and followed Jiang Han into a private room called "Yun Shu".
"My lord, will I give you black tea and golden jade cake today?" Jiang Han wiped the table, put the rag on his shoulder, and asked with a smile.
Lord Shen's gaze kept moving with her movements, and he replied casually, "Feel free!" β
"Although black tea and golden jade cake are good, we can't always take advantage of the shopkeeper, just serve some green tea at will." Lu Tong put his elbow on the table, patted the fan with his palm, and said.
"Don't you have to pay for green tea?" Jiang Han complained in his heart, and said: "Then give you two Shangluoxia green tea, with a mung bean cake, simple and casual, and cheap." β
When Lu Tong heard this, he raised his eyebrows at her and smiled, and said, "Then, let's come to this 'cheap' one!" β
"Okay, you two wait!" So saying, she went out.
Lord Shen turned his head and stared at Lu Tong's uncollected smile with his eyes.
"Why do you think of me like that?" Lu Tong was shocked and couldn't help but stroke his arm.
"It's so ugly...... "Lord Shen looked away and muttered.
"Shen Guangde, what do you mean by this?" Lu Tong's face darkened, he snorted coldly, and said unforgivingly: "It's too domineering, right?" I can't think of a clever plan to suppress bandits, but I still don't make people laugh? Do you have to put on the face of Hades like you to scare away the thieves? β
Lord Shen looked back coldly, and only after a while did he say out loud: "Who is the same as you, superficial!" β
"Am I superficial?" Lu Tong glared back without showing weakness, and sneered, "I don't know who it is, I am tired of holding a shelf all day long, if you are not tired, I am tired!" β
At this moment, the door was pushed open after two rings, and the expressions on the faces of the two quickly retracted.
Jiang Han, who came into the door with a saucer, noticed the smell of gunpowder in the air, put the saucer on the table with some hesitation, looked at the two of them left and right several times, and said in his heart: Could it be that this little couple made a fuss before she came in?
Seeing her like this, Lu Tong said in a bad tone: "Jiang Xiaoer, what are you doing looking left and right?" β
Yo, it's really awkward, look at this tone, she can't be hurt by the pond fish.
She blinked innocently and said, "The villain will see if you two are still in need, if not, the villain will leave the two of you in the world, and the villain will go out first." β
"Hmph, you can't leave, you Lord Shen, but I came to ask you about it!"
When Jiang Han heard this, she put away her jokes, she just happened to have something to talk to them.
"What do the adults want to ask the little ones?"
Lord Shen looked at her twice, and said in a gentle tone, "You will tell me about the situation that day. I have doubts and can't figure it out. β
"What was the situation that day? Haha, I've said it many times in the past few days, and it doesn't hurt to tell you again. Jiang Han said with a smile, and then recounted the events of the day from beginning to end.
After speaking, the masked man's gaze suddenly flashed in her mind, and she immediately added: "My lord, I think it's very strange, the masked man seems to know me, and when he speaks to me, there is hatred in his eyesβeven if he doesn't know me, he must have heard my opponent mention me, otherwise how can he hate me?" β
Lord Shen and Lu Tong glanced at each other, and a strange light flashed in their eyes.
Lord Shen whispered, "Your opponent seems to be only the Yellow Gang...... Recently, it has not been noticed that they are acting abnormally......"
"My lord, I think that fake order should be the ghost of the Yellow Gang!"
"Oh?"
"Huang Youneng hasn't come out yet, those people from the Yellow Gang on the dock must look at me unpleasantly! The day before someone found Song Yaozu, someone followed me, my 'cousin', but the next day, my senior brother accompanied us to the dock, and those people were probably afraid of getting into trouble with the county government again, so they changed their ways......"
"Could it be that they designed the robbery too?"
Lu Tong suddenly shouted: "This is the evidence of the collusion between the people of the Yellow Gang and the bandits!" β
