Chapter 66: Knowing the Other
The alley that Xiaoya brought her to, she really stepped on for the first time, and it was much wider than the other alleys.
Just the exterior walls on both sides, the decoration is different, and the eaves that emerge from the outer wall are even more ingeniously designed, I am afraid that they are not ordinary people who live.
Xiaoya took the red beans all the way to their destination, and pointed to the plaque on the gate - Zhao Zhai.
Hongdou looked at the gate of the magnificent Zhao Mansion and couldn't help but sigh: The TV doesn't deceive me!
"Xiaoya, are that Zhao Gongzi and the little brother named Ah Chang from this family?"
Xiao Yawan smiled and nodded.
Red Beans now have a spectrum in their hearts.
This Zhao Gongzi was born in a big family, but he didn't expect to be quite down-to-earth, not only is he willing to eat the things on the stall, but he will also bring them home when he meets the ones he likes.
The opportunity was sent to the door, if she didn't fight for it, she would really regret it when she thought about it in the future.
She had to find someone to inquire about the family's happy events in recent days, so she had to prepare early.
After recognizing the way, the red beans are not ready to stay longer, so as not to be discovered and cause unnecessary suspicion.
"Xiaoya, you really helped a lot this time, if this business is successful, I will send you silver."
Red Bean took Xiaoya's hand and promised happily.
Following.
Hongdou got up early, helped the family prepare the first batch of cold powder, and took Xiaoya to deliver the goods to Baiweilou in advance.
"Grandma, mother, Xiaoya and I will go out first, Aunt Li and my cousin will come in a while, you can count it."
"Got it." Grandma Sun replied casually, they are familiar with the affairs of the family.
Even if her granddaughter is not there, she and her daughter-in-law can do it, and the family will discuss it together when they encounter major issues.
But after passing so early, Baiweilou is afraid that it has not opened.
Forget it, it's already dawn anyway, Xiaoya is here, and the two of them are in the town again, so nothing can happen.
Hongdou took Xiaoya to the back door of Baiwei Building as usual.
"Miss Xie, why did you come so early today? Come in. Xiao Er led the two of them to unload the things in the kitchen, and then went to the lobby to find the shopkeeper Wu to settle the money.
Shopkeeper Wu was also surprised that the red beans came so early today, but it was better than sending them late.
"Miss Xie is here, the two of you will take a moment, and I will withdraw the money." Shopkeeper Wu remembered the amount of today's order, took the silver money and handed it to the two.
The red beans were not counted, and they were directly kicked on the body, and this little money would not be seen by other restaurants.
Instead, he asked about another thing.
Shopkeeper Wu thought it was a matter of cold noodles, sat on the other side of the table, and asked silently.
"That's right, yesterday the shopkeeper Zhou came to the door."
"Zhou Shoucai of Mingyue Tower? But is it because of the cold powder? "Shopkeeper Wu is not surprised, if the surname Zhou is too dull, his Baiweilou will already be the dominant family in Shimen Town.
"Not bad."
Shopkeeper Wu said gently: "I believe in Miss Xie's business conduct, and the girl doesn't need to come over to inform her." ”
The two families signed a formal contract, not to mention the Xie family's current ability, they didn't dare to turn around and do it with him.
However, this gesture of taking the initiative to explain to the door, Shopkeeper Wu was very satisfied, and he once again saw the sincerity of the Xie family.
"Thank you for the trust of Shopkeeper Wu, I will naturally not destroy my future. However, my family and Mingyuelou are also torn faces, so I want to learn more about the character of the shopkeeper next week. ”
Shopkeeper Wu understood that this was for fear of Zhou Shoucai's retaliation.
The Xie family's consideration is not wrong, if something really goes wrong, it will also delay the supply to the restaurant. And they also agreed that if they couldn't supply it to Mingyue Tower, he wouldn't really be unable to do anything.
"The girl's concern is not unreasonable." Shopkeeper Wu put one hand on the table and counted unconsciously:
"I know a little bit about Zhou Shoucai, and his style of action is quite domineering, if the other party is lighter than him, he will also play yin if the deal can't be negotiated."
Even if others make trouble, it's a big deal to spend some money to intimidate, ordinary people can't fight, and no matter how unwilling they are, they can only swallow it.
"He is not a local, his daughter-in-law's descendants are not here, and there is only a concubine by his side. There are fewer scruples in getting things done. ”
"As for his ability to do business, just like that, I don't think I'm as good as a young man."
People like them are shopkeepers on the outside, and they have to be looked down upon by ordinary people, but internally they are actually just long-term workers of the master's family.
As long as you can handle your own errands well and don't cause trouble for the master's family, even if you can't get promoted, the errand is not so easy to lose.
"Dare to ask Shopkeeper Wu, how long has the shopkeeper been here this week?"
Shopkeeper Wu couldn't help but think of the situation when he first came to Baiwei Building. At first, he helped the owner to take charge of the shop in other counties, but he accidentally offended the distinguished customer.
Even if it wasn't his fault, the owner had to send him to the restaurant in the town in order to give an explanation to the distinguished guest.
When he first arrived, Zhou Shoucai wanted to make him a stumbling block, although he ran a restaurant at the beginning, but the ability to take charge of things was still there, and with the relationship behind him, Zhou Shoucai failed to succeed.
It's been a long time, and the business in the town isn't much better, and he hasn't had a chance to get ahead, but maybe it won't be in the future.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Wu felt even more that he couldn't let the Xie family have a mistake, and he also pointed to borrowing the Xie family's east wind.
"Shopkeeper Zhou has been here since before I came to Shimen Town, and it has been more than ten years."
"I heard a random sentence earlier, it seems that I have a relationship with a certain little master in the owner's family, and staying here to do things should be regarded as a pension."
Hongdou thought about it carefully, and he didn't see the employees of the nest for more than ten years, and his ability to do things was average, and there was a little bit of a relationship, this mountain was high and the emperor was far away, I was afraid that the restaurant was not regarded as a private property.
I don't know if the ledger is clean? If it is not clean ...
"Thank you for your advice, I've written it down."
Hongdou is very grateful to Shopkeeper Wu for telling her about things in such detail, and understanding the enemy more, there are always some benefits: "There is another thing, I don't know if Shopkeeper Wu can know the Zhao Mansion in Liren Lane?" ”
Shopkeeper Wu was a little surprised, isn't this Zhao Gongzi's house? "The girl asks what is this?"
Hongdou looked at Shopkeeper Wu with a smile, there is no competition between the two, and it's okay to say it:
"A son surnamed Zhao came to my place and picked two snacks, although my things are not elegant, but I still want to fight for it, if it happens, it will also be good for your restaurant."
And what's going on? This Zhao Gongzi is really hands-on.
However, Miss Xie said that the snacks are indispensable for cold powder, so he naturally supports it, and it is none of his business whether it succeeds or not.
"I know a thing or two, it will be Mrs. Zhao's birthday in a few days, Zhao Gongzi is afraid that it will be for Mrs. Zhao's business, right?"
At that time, the restaurant will also give a birthday gift, but the Zhao family will naturally not invite him to attend.
I see, the birthday banquet of Mrs. Houzhai is more elaborate in terms of food.
Her good sum totals.
"Today, thanks to Shopkeeper Wu, I have gained so much knowledge, it's not too early, I won't delay you, farewell."
Hongdou got up and bowed, and took Xiaoya to prepare to leave.
"Miss Xie is polite, if you find any movement on the side of Mingyue Tower, I will also send someone to inform you."
Red Bean thanked me again. The two walked on the street, and Hongdou kept thinking about the next arrangement in his mind.
On the Zhao family's side, she will try her best to fight for it, and as for Mingyue Tower's side, she will not relax.
With the style of the shopkeeper Zhou, the people around him are afraid that not all of them believe in him, if they can find an opportunity...
"Hmph."
Hongdou's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a cold snort, and the two looked to the side, and it was the shopkeeper Zhou standing on the other side of the street.
It looks like I'm going in the direction of a restaurant.
Xiao Ya saw that the other party was not good, crossed her eyebrows, and glared back.
Looking at the other party's cruel eyes, Hongdou was even more vigilant in his heart, and he deceived people too much!
