Chapter Eighty-Four: The Storm is Coming
"Smack, knock"
Sitting behind the counter, he was making an abacus with one hand and looking at the ledger with the other, counting his daily expenses and how much money he earned.
Although she is not an account clerk, she does not know much about it.
But after all, he is also an Oiran, he can read and write, and he can also count, although it is slow to calculate, but it is also fun.
At the door of the restaurant, a handsome young man walked in, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and slowly walked over.
"How much money was earned"
"Yikes"
Yoyo, who was concentrating on settling accounts, was startled by this sudden voice, and with a shake of his fingers, several beads on the abacus were accidentally messed up.
"Hey, it's miserable, it's all messed up, and it's going to come again"
Yoyo pursed his red lips, wrinkled and looked at the messy abacus, aggrieved like a little dolphin.
It's a troublesome calculation, and if you start again, it will take at least half an hour.
"It's my fault, don't be angry, get tired, take a break, I'll figure it out"
Bai Yun pinched his upright nose, said dotingly, and then took the account book and abacus.
Looking at the ledger, his fingers moved quickly on the abacus, very fast, like a blind typing on a keyboard in his previous life, a thief handsome.
Seeing this, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, with affection and a deep smile on his face, like a peach blossom in March, beautiful.
When is a man the most handsome?
That must be the time to be serious.
At this moment, Baiyun's face is calm, like a wisp of wind in the world, and the sun shines on his side face, which seems to exude light, making it difficult to take his eyes off it.
"Okay"
Baiyun stopped his abacus and looked at the numbers on it, then looked at Yoyo and found that she was staring at her motionlessly, as if fascinated.
"Ahh
Youyou was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, his eyes were rippling, a little shy, and he was surprised: "It's okay so soon."
"How" the corners of Bai Yun's mouth rose: "Are you fascinated by my handsomeness?"
Yoyo's cheeks were slightly red, the roots of her ears were red, and she sighed, she was too shy, which made her answer well.
"It's been a long time since I've been out with you for a walk, it just so happens that today is good, let's go out for a walk" Bai Yun took Yoyo's little hand.
"Hmm"
…………
The brilliant sunshine poured on the earth, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the shouts one after another.
A peaceful and quiet scene.
In the prosperous area in the south of the city, there stands a luxurious and atmospheric restaurant, and the plaque on the top is printed with four big characters of hot gilt - Seven Star Restaurant.
At the doorway, several people stood lazily, dejected, listless, or even worse, leaning directly against the wooden wall, hiding from the scorching sun.
"It's strange, it's been so many days, why are there so few people coming in to eat, it's already full on weekdays"
Shopkeeper Zheng looked at the tables of guests on the first floor, and couldn't help frowning.
On weekdays, the seats are full, but lately, I don't know what's going on, and business has suddenly deteriorated.
I don't know what to think of, he waved his hand, and a little guy came over, and he said, "You go out and inquire and see if anything is happening nearby; It's not going to go bad all of a sudden, something should happen."
Seeing the little guy leave, Shopkeeper Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Xinghai offended the colt, and the crime was revealed again, and he was sentenced to ten years in prison; During this time, the head of the Zhang family was also busy fishing him out, begging people everywhere, making him anxious, exhausted, and his temper became worse.
The entire Zhangfu was shrouded in a dark cloud, and the people under him were in a panic all day long.
On the other side, the shopkeepers of Mercury Restaurant and Yuequan Restaurant are also puzzled, how the good business fell off a cliff.
Business is certainly good and bad, but relatively speaking, it is very stable, and this situation will never occur.
The two shopkeepers were also puzzled, and sent their men to inquire about whether there was anything that happened in the south of the city recently that they didn't know.
At this moment, Bai Yun didn't know that with the explosion of Yunyou Restaurant, it seriously affected the business of the three major restaurants.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.
After all, business is like this, if his business is good, there will naturally be others who have bad business.
In the business field, it depends on your own hard skills.
Soon, the people sent out by the shopkeeper told them about Yunyou Restaurant.
This surprised them, and they asked several times in succession before they reluctantly accepted this unbelievable news.
The capital of the country is so big, hundreds of thousands of people live here, and there will be shops open every now and then to do business, and small restaurants and medium-sized restaurants are also very common.
But if you want to affect the business of the three major restaurants, this is the first time, and it has never happened.
You must know that the reason why the three major restaurants are famous in the capital of the country and become a well-known existence is that the owners behind them have good strength and deep roots.
Relying on an extremely powerful master.
After all, restaurants are open for business, and if you want to do business well, the taste of the food must naturally be good, and it must be of the highest quality.
Otherwise, how can the rich and noble people in the city be satisfied?
This rich man is not satisfied, so who still recognizes the status of these big restaurants?
It is precisely because of this that the chefs of the seven major restaurants are all masters, with decades of hard work, and the craftsmanship is top-notch when looking at the whole world.
The taste of the dishes made is absolutely not to be said, and it is not weaker than the imperial chef in the palace.
Otherwise, how to dominate the national capital?
Now an unknown Yunyou restaurant suddenly appeared, and I heard that the taste of food is very popular in the hearts of the people, even better than the three major restaurants.
The first reaction of the three shopkeepers was naturally disbelief, but the facts were in front of them, and they had to believe if they didn't believe it.
So I sent someone to buy some specialties.
The moment they saw the braised pork, they were stunned, this kind of garbage dish is also eaten?
Or an extremely popular specialty?
For a moment, I doubted the world.
In order to know themselves and their opponents, they still endured the nausea in their hearts and tasted it.
It melts in your mouth, the taste is delicate with a hint of sweetness, and it is so delicious.
They were stunned again.
Is this really why no one wants pork?
I ate several bites in a row, but this is not enough, the feeling seems to be unstoppable, just like a gluttonous worm in my stomach, which is spinning all the time.
"Hiccup"
It wasn't until I had a full burp that I put it down satisfied, and I almost licked the clean plate.
Where is this pig meat, it is simply dragon meat, I have never eaten such delicious meat, even beef is not as delicious as this.
Thinking of this, they were jealous.
This dish is only one of the specialties, and it is conceivable that other dishes must be just as delicious.
If this is the case, within a month, no one will come to their restaurant to eat, and they will all go to Yunyou Restaurant.
What's more important is that this dish, which is enough to sell for dozens of taels of silver, is actually less than half the price.
Delicious and cheap, it's just good for money.
This is a huge shock to their business.
So, they came up with a plan: "You go and inquire about what is behind this Yunyou Restaurant."
When the men returned, the three shopkeepers were again blindfolded.
The seats are full, the money is making money every day, and the business is booming, and Yunyou Restaurant, which is enough to become the eighth largest restaurant, actually has no powerful characters behind it.
Is it possible?
Apparently impossible.
But his subordinates repeatedly assured that after inquiring for a long time, the shopkeeper of this Yunyou Restaurant was an old man named Zhang Lao, and the rest were miscellaneous people.
When it opened, there were no big people coming, they were all from the neighbors, and then it gradually spread.
This left the three shopkeepers in deep thought.
Normally, if a restaurant with this kind of craftsmanship opens, it must be for the eighth largest restaurant; There must be a powerful person behind it, otherwise it would not have been devoured by the tiger.
This is especially true on the day of opening.
If there are no powerful people, they will definitely be underestimated, and there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Because of this, whenever a new shop opens, whether it can be provoked or not, depends on who attends on the opening day, and you can guess the identity of the person behind the restaurant.
Could it really be an ordinary person, who happens to be an ancestral craft?
I couldn't help but think of this thought.
The world is so big, there must be something strange.
In the past, there were also some ancestral crafts that appeared, which caused a lot of waves for a while, and finally they were all bought by the seven major restaurants.
Thinking of this, their eyes showed a touch of ruthlessness, and then ordered: "You pick a few clever people, find an opportunity to make trouble, and test their bottom line."
"Yes," the people understood.
If you are sure that there are no big people behind your back, then you will come to congratulate you and bring the recipe of the ancestral craft by the way.
What if you give?
Then everyone is happy, harmonious and wealthy, and they will be a family in the future, helping each other.
What if you don't give it?
Then you can only use some tough means, in this national capital, without their nod, any restaurant dares to take the lead, it will have to bear their anger and joint suppression.
At this moment, Princess Zhaoyang's mansion.
"You've been out a little hard lately, have you gone out to do something bad behind your back" Ye Ruoshui frowned.
"What bad can I do, it's not like a few days of rest at home; If you don't go to Guozijian to study, if you delay your study, you will also leave a bad impression on the teacher," Bai Yun made an excuse.
"Really"?
Ye Ruoshui's eyes widened, how could he inevitably not believe it?
"Otherwise, why do you think I'm so smart, but you, stay at home all day, this won't be, that won't be; Be careful when you are disgusted by a man one day," Bai Yun pretended to be disgusted.
"You put ......"
Ye Ruoshui's eyes widened, his phoenix eyes were full of anger, and he was so angry that he almost said all the dirty words, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and swallowed it back.
said proudly: "This palace is proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting, what does it mean that this will not be, that will not; Bengong is a princess, which man dares to dislike Bengong, Bengong cut him"
"I don't believe it, then you can play one and show me" Bai Yun shook his head, looking like I believe you are a ghost.
"Just play it...... Why did this palace play it to you, you despicable agitation method has nothing for this palace"
Ye Ruoshui was stunned in his heart, and almost fell for this bastard.
"No, no, what? I won't laugh at you," Bai Yun said quietly, and then left the mansion.
"Bastard"
Ye Ruoshui looked at Bai Yun's arrogant and unbeaten appearance, and his teeth itched with anger.
I really want to punch him.
