In the evening, Gu Mingzhu wrote two letters, one to Chu Qiu and the other to the second uncle.

Early the next morning, Gu Mingzhu asked Ah San to inquire about the news, and according to the fragmentary information he obtained, he roughly determined the truth of the matter.

When Gu Cheng arrived, it was already dark, and the two of them were talking about it while having dinner.

"How unreasonable!" Gu Cheng said angrily: "The Gu family raised them, but they did this thing!" It's just disgusting! ”

Gu Mingzhu always felt that this matter was not so simple, Pingjing was like this, and Licheng was also like this, and the final outcome of both was closed, is this a coincidence?

She thought about Qian San who she saw when she first came, thought for a while, and asked, "Second uncle, there is something I want to ask you, when I first arrived that day, Qian San seemed to have something to tell you?" ”

"It's about the business of the shop in Xiangbei, the cloth shop has had some problems recently, the business of the single family has always pressed us in the past few months, and it will be the Flower Dynasty Festival soon, the single family has made preparations, and we also have to think of countermeasures."

"Two competition?" Gu Mingzhu said.

Gu Cheng nodded: "Exactly, Qian San said that if this competition can't fight a single family, then the cloth business in Xiangbei will not be easy to do in the future, just reduce the price......"

Gu Cheng's face hesitated.

Gu Mingzhu sighed helplessly, but it was not easy to say it directly, so he had to say: "Second uncle, haven't you thought that if you do this, the shops in Xiangbei will soon be the same as Pingjing?" ”

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, quickly understood what she meant, and said, "Qian San is not such a person. ”

"There is no one who does not change, what if better conditions are offered for the family?" Gu Mingzhu took out Yue Yan's letter yesterday afternoon: "My people have already found out the news in Pingjing, the reason why there is a problem in the Pingjing cloth shop is that Qian San instructed him to collude with other families, the purpose is to make the Gu family's business unable to continue!" ”

Gu accepted the letter, his expression was astringent and shocked: "What's the benefit of him doing this?" ”

"I'm afraid he wants to be the big shopkeeper." Gu Mingzhu saw that his face was ugly, knowing that he was difficult to accept for a while, and said: "If the second uncle doesn't believe me, then we will go back to Xiangbei, and I will confront him face to face." ”

Gu Cheng opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and after a while, he muttered: "I have always regarded him as the most trusted person, but I didn't expect him to ...... ......"

Gu Mingzhu was silent.

After Gu Cheng read the letter, he was the one who had seen the wind and waves, and quickly said: "Since this is the case, business is official, our Gu family will never stay on such a person!" ”

The two discussed the current affairs in Licheng, and soon decided to go to the Gu family restaurant tomorrow.

The next day, the carriage stopped in front of the Gu family restaurant where the guests were gone, and Gu Mingzhu got out of the carriage and entered the door with Gu Cheng.

The shopkeeper was a man in his fifties, and when he saw Ah San, who was the first to enter the door, he was about to say hello, when suddenly a man and a woman followed behind him, he fixed his eyes and hurriedly stepped forward: "Second Master Gu." ”

Gu Cheng snorted, glanced at him, and said, "Close the door, it's not open today." ”

The shopkeeper looked suspicious, but he obediently closed the door.

Gu Cheng took Gu Mingzhu to sit in the lobby, Gu Cheng said with a calm face: "Go and count the guys in the restaurant one by one, call them all, the eldest lady has something to ask." ”

Soon, there were nearly twenty people standing in the lobby.

Gu Cheng looked at Gu Mingzhu, Gu Mingzhu lowered his face and said, "Who is in charge?" ”

A man and a woman stepped forward.

It seems that this is Fang Dequan and Hong Sanniang.

Gu Mingzhu asked: "Hong Sanniang, let me ask you, when Guan Da was here last year, you said that he teased you, didn't you?" ”

How could a good person ask about last year?

Hong Sanniang wondered in her heart, and replied: "Miss Hui, exactly, Guan Da intended to treat me badly, but fortunately Fang Dequan found out, which saved me." ”

"Humph! Someone sees that you are doing everything with Fang De, what do you say? ”

"This ......" Hong Sanniang's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but look at Fang Dequan: "Miss, wronged......"

Fang Dequan hurriedly explained: "Miss, this is nothing! The relationship between me and Sanniang is innocent and selfless! ”

Gu Mingzhu sneered: "No selfishness? You think I'm fooled? What did you do the day before yesterday and last night? ”

Fang Dequan's face turned pale: "I'...... I didn't go anywhere......"

"Lie!" Ah San shouted: "I followed you all day, and you touched Hong Sanniang's house in the middle of the night, and you didn't come out until dawn!" ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "You hooked up with Hong Sanniang and framed Guan Da, it's like a wolf's heart!" ”

The two of them were drunk by her sudden blow to the head, and their knees fell down involuntarily.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the shopkeeper and smiled faintly: "Shopkeeper, do you know about this matter?" ”

The shopkeeper laughed with him: "Miss Hui, I don't know." ”

"Oh?" Gu Mingzhu's tone raised: "That's strange, obviously you said that you let Guan Dajiao Fang Dequan have eleven signature dishes on the second floor, why don't you know in the end?" ”

"I ...... I asked Guan Dajiao to cook, but I didn't know about the collusion between Hong Sanniang and Fang Dequan, I was just kind-hearted at the time! ”

"Phew!" Before Gu Mingzhu could speak, Fang Dequan on the side couldn't help but say, "You old thing crossed the river and demolished the bridge!" Obviously, it was your idea to kick Guan Da out of the restaurant, and now you actually say such shameless words! ”

"Nonsense!" Shopkeeper airway.

Fang Dequan was indignant: "I'm talking nonsense? Do you and I don't know about you and money? Drive Guan Da away, this restaurant will be half ruined, you design to bring down this restaurant, and dare to pour dirty water on me! ”

Bang!

Gu Cheng slapped the table angrily and asked the shopkeeper: "Is what Fang Dequan said true?" ”

The shopkeeper's face was pale, he staggered two steps, and was speechless for a moment.

"I'm so blind! Believe him! Gu Cheng was angry and stood up: "I'll go back to Xiangbei now!" I'd rather ask him why he did it! ”

"Hey, second uncle......" Gu Mingzhu was not in a hurry, sighed and shook his head, sat down again, and looked at the two dozen people in front of him.

She instructed: "Get these three people out of the restaurant, every shop of the Gu family is not allowed to use them anymore in the future, the restaurant is closed for half a month, I will arrange twice the repatriation fee, everyone plans their own plans." ”

"Ah San." Gu Mingzhu said: "You can calculate the repatriation fee for everyone." ”

"Yes."

By the time the account was settled, it was already noon, and Gu Mingzhu had no appetite for lunch in the morning, so he hastily ate a few bites and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

If Gu's Restaurant wants to reopen, it needs to recruit new chefs, new guys, the dishes must be reformulated, and the prices will naturally be reset.

Seeing her frowning, Ah San couldn't help but say, "Miss, isn't there already a candidate for this leader?" Chef Guan. ”

Gu Mingzhu shook her head, she had no intention of letting Guan Daqu be here, so this palm was really hard to find.

Gu Mingzhu personally drafted two recruitment orders and asked Ah San to find some people to post them.

At noon the next day, the door was closed.

Gu Mingzhu was calculating the amount of silver taels needed to open a new restaurant, and when she saw Guan Da, she was a little surprised: "Uncle Guan, why are you here?" ”

She soon found the recruitment order in Guan Da's hand: "Uncle Guan doesn't want to be in charge here?" ”

Guan Da shook his head: "If the eldest lady really wants to ask me to be the head of the spoon here, then the recruitment order will not be posted, I came today to recommend someone." ”
