Chapter Twenty-Four: Flowers Bloom Like Rain
If you want to use four words to form like, "four walls of the family" is not an exaggeration at all, except for a few jars of wine on the ground, there are basically no decent decorations in the store. The surrounding tables and chairs are also dilapidated, and it would be a hell of a store to have customers like this.
Zhang Zezhen witnessed the situation of this store, and suddenly retreated in his heart, and looked to the side, a middle-aged man in sloppy clothes, with his feet on the dining table, holding a wine jug in his hand, and drinking it in a big gulp.
"Is that guy the boss?" Zhang Zezhen looked at Chu Ming and asked in disbelief.
"Well, what do you think?" Chu Ming saw Zhang Zezhen's thoughts.
"It's all here, let's go and see it first."
"Boss, we're here." Chu Ming said at the man.
"Oh, come in and sit casually." The man just turned his head to look and lowered his feet off the table.
The three of them made it to the opposite side of the man, and although there was some taste, they still endured it.
"You're Boss Chen, aren't you?" Zhang Zezhen asked with a hint of luck.
"That's right, the contemptible Chen Youtang is the shopkeeper of this wine shop, I heard that Miss Zhang wants to take down the store, I don't know what to say about the deed?"
"Well, how many years have you been running this shop?"
"It's been ten years, don't look at it broken now, it's still brilliant before. It's just that the family is in the middle of the road, and there is no money to operate, and finally it has fallen to such a point. ”
Zhang Zezhen couldn't imagine that just because her family was in the middle of the road, could she be so downcast?
"Girl, what do you think of me here?" Chen Youtang asked again.
"Boss Chen, can I take a look around?"
"Of course, if you look at it, I don't have anything to see here."
Hearing Boss Chen's promise, Zhang Zezhen got up and looked everywhere, especially in the kitchen, although some dishes were already covered with dust, but on the whole, things were very complete, and if they were decorated a little, it would be a good place.
"Boss Chen, are those kitchenware in your kitchen also included in the negotiated price?"
"If you want, I'll give it to you, sell this store, and I'll go to the end of the world from now on."
"By the way, Boss Chen, this deed needs to be written on professional paper." Zhang Shanren reminded Chen Youtang.
"No problem, as long as Miss Zhang thinks it's okay, we'll redraft it immediately."
Zhang Zezhen saw that Chen Youtang was also a cheerful person, so she didn't say anything more, and in addition to the appearance of the store, there were no particularly obvious defects inside.
"Boss Chen, I agree to buy this wine shop. Let's pay the money with one hand and the store with the other. ”
"Okay."
Zhang Shanren drew up a new deed, and Zhang Zezhen and Chen Youtang pressed their own handprints on it, and the deed was written in duplicate, with one copy for each party.
"Miss Zhang, from now on, this shop will be yours."
"Thank you, Boss Chen."
"You're welcome, now that the matter has been explained, then it's time for me to go."
"I'll send you, Boss Chen."
Zhang Zezhen followed Chen Youtang out, and as soon as he walked to the door, Chen Youtang stopped Zhang Zezhen's footsteps.
"Miss Zhang, please stay, there is still a long way to go, and you must cherish the piece of jade on your body. Chen took his leave. ”
With that, Chen Youtang turned around and left.
Before Zhang Zezhen could react, Chen Youtang quickly disappeared into the sea of people
"How would he know about my jade!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Zezhen immediately chased out, but the figure of Boss Chen was long gone, the more she thought about it, the more strange it became, and she always felt that that person must know her predecessor.
"Miss Zhang, what should we do next?" Chu Ming saw that Zhang Zezhen at the door was motionless, so he called her.
"It's coming!" Zhang Zezhen came back to her senses and walked into the wine shop.
Looking at the dilapidated little shop in front of her, she was going to wipe the tables and chairs first, and then see if there were any that needed to be replaced, and replace them in time, and the rest was to clean.
"Chu Zhutou, I guess you have to help today."
"Little things, little things, you say! How? ”
"Chu Zhutou, you are in charge of the scrubbing work of the hall, I'll clean up the kitchen, Dad, can you see how much wine is left in the store? Take an inventory of what's in the store, and you're good to go. ”
"Don't worry." Chu Ming said with an oath.
Zhang Shanren also nodded.
The three of them worked separately, each performing their own duties, and they didn't dare to slack off, if it was fast, they might be able to reopen tomorrow.
……
The next day, Chu Ming hung the plaque of "Flowers Like Rain" above the restaurant, and Zhang Zezhen's shop officially opened.
"Hua Ruoyu is open, guest officers, please go inside."
"The small shop is open, and there are new products in the store that you can taste for free."
Zhang Zezhen and her family shouted at the door, attracting many onlookers.
"Huh? Aren't you the cook of the original Jinyutang? One of them asked curiously.
"Yes, big brother, let's go into the store and try our new products."
"The craftsmanship hasn't regressed, has it?"
"How can this be? You can only make it better and better! ”
"Okay, then I'll try it."
"Uncle, do you still know me?" Zhang Zezhen saw an acquaintance and hurriedly stepped forward to entertain him.
"Know, know, how? Now set up your own store? ”
"Yes, please come back more in the future."
"Definitely, definitely."
"Inside, please!"
The wine shop was very small, and Zhang Zezhen saw that there were already a lot of people, so he hurried to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
In a not far corner, there was a man sneakily hiding in it.
He quietly watched every move in "Hua Ruoyu", and when Zhang Yangshi looked this way, the person immediately ran away.
Zhang Yang thought it was someone who watched the excitement, so he didn't care.
……
"Master, master, no, Zhang Zezhen opened a new restaurant on the street next to us."
"What? Do you see clearly? Gu Changqing asked the servant.
"See clearly, it's true."
"Xianggong, what's going on? Didn't you say that you had already bought off her second sister-in-law? How did they buy the store? Gu He asked in a panic.
"Don't panic, Li and Liao Hai have both accepted our money, they are untrustworthy in doing so, we can use the dishonesty of her second sister-in-law to disrupt Zhang Zezhen's plan, so that everyone thinks she is an untrustworthy trader."
"Did Liao Hai find it out over there? What the hell is going on? ”
The little one asked clearly, after Liao Hai said that he rejected the deal between the two, Zhang Zezhen left angrily, and he didn't know what happened after that. And because at this time, the relationship between Liao Hai and his friends was stiff. ”
"Dad, how long are you going to make trouble? Zhang Zezhen was angry with her mother and Gu Yu, and people set up another door, why not? Why do you hold back so much? ”
Gu Jin really couldn't stand it, she couldn't understand her parents' behavior.
"What does your daughter's family know? The shopping mall is like a battlefield, as long as Zhang Zezhen stays in the town for a day, it is a threat to Jinyulou. ”
"Dad, you're too bad at tricks!" Gu Jin angrily quarreled with Gu Changqing.
"You know the, get out!"
"Just go, you'll be punished sooner or later." After speaking, Gu Jin ran out.
"Unfilial daughter, unfilial daughter!"
"Don't be angry, master, Gu Jin is also confused for a while, when she grows up, she will understand our good intentions." Gu He hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"You're all to blame, huh!" Gu Changqing not only did not appreciate it, but once again blamed Gu He.
"Go, call a few people, go to Zhang Zezhen to ask for an explanation, collect our money, don't do anything, and reason with her."
"Yes, sir, the little one will go."
When the man received the order, he immediately gathered a few brothers and walked towards Hua Ruoyu.
……
"Zhang Zezhen! Zhang Zezhen! Come out! A leader named Sun Si kept shouting outside Hua Ruoyu's door.
Zhang Yang heard the voice and hurried over.
"What for!" Zhang Yang's loud voice and fat figure can scare Sun Si a lot.
"Let's reason with Zhang Zezhen!"
"Reasonable? I'm her mother, what do you have to tell me, my daughter is busy! ”
"She doesn't keep her word, and she deserves to do business here?"
"Say it again! Kill you, old lady! Zhang Yangshi said as he raised his hand to the side and swept away, "Dare to threaten the old lady, I have lived enough for you!" ”
Seeing such a brutal woman, several people felt that it was difficult to parry, and immediately took a few steps back, but they still did not give up in their momentum.
"You call her out, and we're going to reason with her." Seeing that Zhang Yang's didn't pay attention to it at all, Sun Si made another bad move: "Come and see, everyone, Hua Ruoyu's proprietress didn't believe her words, she accepted our money, and she was still our enemy, so let's give a comment." ”
As soon as Sun Si shouted like this, people passing by came over to see the excitement.
When Zhang Yangshi saw such a despicable Sun Si, he couldn't bear to spit out the fragrance: "You are so lacking in virtue!" The child born must be flawed. ”
"You fart! Let's take a look, this kind of person not only does not speak of trust, but also uses strong words! ”
"Mother, I'll deal with it!" At this time, Zhang Zezhen also came out of the kitchen.
"Judge? Okay, then let's talk about it. ”
"Why do you say I don't believe in my word?" Zhang Zezhen questioned Sun Si.
"Are you too embarrassed to ask me? Your second sister-in-law took our money and promised not to open a restaurant in the town again, and now you are opening it again, this is not untrustworthy, what is it? ”
"Is that so? How do I remember when you gave my second sister-in-law money, you just didn't let me buy Liao Hai's shop, and you didn't say that it prevented me from buying all the shops. ”
"You talk nonsense! We have witnesses! ”
Sun Si also brought the woman in charge of the transaction.
"Am I talking nonsense? I have witnesses too! Let's see who the hell is talking nonsense! Mother, call my second sister-in-law. ”
Sun Si pointed to the woman and said, "You tell everyone, what did the transaction say at that time?" ”
Women have some reasons, but it is a matter of course to accept money from others and eliminate disasters for others, so she still said against her will: "When I traded with the Li family, I said that you are not allowed to open a store, so I will give the money!" ”
"Did you hear that?" Sun Si said to Zhang Zezhen.
"Really? How can you be reliable just based on your words, second sister-in-law, what did you say when you said the transaction at that time? ”
"When trading, she clearly said that as long as she stopped the business of Xiaomei'er and Liao Hai, she could give me money." Li said confidently.
"You're talking nonsense!" Sun Si quibbled, he said that if he couldn't do it, he could only mobilize everyone's strength. "Whose fault is it that everyone is judging?"
A well-wisher stood up and said to Sun Si: "Brother, there is a witness on your side, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, but you can't figure it out!" ”
"Yes."
"The two sides have their own opinions, who can know this?"
The onlookers only watched the excitement and did not take a clear stand.
