Clear skies one day.

The nearby wild cats were playing with scattered catkins and broke into Bai Song's house and knocked over the soup bowls in the early morning.

Sang Sang chased all the way with the water drift.

Bai Song went out and stretched.

"I won't open the door today, and I don't have any business anyway."

Bai Song said casually.

Sang Sang turned around a little depressed: "When will you go so much?" ”

"Don't worry, take care of this today. You just have a good rest at home. ”

"Oh."

Sang Sang answered.

Bai Song looked at the breakfast on the table, ate some casually, and then prepared to go out.

When he arrived at the door, Bai Song thought that there was an extra maid beside him, but he didn't see anyone this morning, so it stands to reason that he should be accompanied by a maid all the way.

Bai Song was just curious about Dong Xiang's age, she should know these rules.

"Where's Fuyuka?"

"Sister Dongxiang went out early in the morning, saying that there was something."

Bai Song didn't think much about it, and left the house alone.

Bai Song went to Donglai Restaurant again, the door of the restaurant was closed, and Xiangyang Street did not see the lively scene of the past.

Bai Song didn't stop in front of his house, but went straight to the Shangyuan Restaurant opposite.

This literary prison movement organized by Shangxian Books not only affected Donglai Restaurant.

Shangyuan Restaurant and even the large restaurants on other streets have been affected, and even the flower houses by the Weihe River have been deeply affected.

The appeal of the older generation of thinkers and scholars was far beyond Bai Song's imagination, and now when there is a young man on the street talking and laughing, several people will come up and point fingers. Not to mention where there are things like selling books and books, as soon as there is a little bit of trouble, a group of people will come and tear up your stall.

After holding out for a few days, the Taishou Mansion also had to issue an order to rectify the issue of literary style in the city in the near future. It was forbidden for the common people to discuss the Three Kingdoms, and literati were not allowed to discuss articles other than textbooks.

The notice does not involve the restaurant, but at this juncture, no one wants to come to the restaurant to show their faces, for fear of being put on a title such as good and bad, arrogant and lascivious.

After a combination of punches, Xiangyang Street, which was originally overcrowded, became crowded and depressed in just a few days.

When Bai Song arrived at Shangyuan Restaurant, he saw that they were still open, but there were no guests.

In the hall, I heard someone arguing.

It turned out to be Mr. Xie and Boss Zhang.

"Mr. Xie, are you still unreasonable? Don't look at the recent livelihood of this shop, since you came, Shangyuan Restaurant has begun to lose money, you are embarrassed to come to me for wages! I didn't ask you to pay my money. ”

"When you invited the old man to come, you said it in a proper manner, twenty taels of silver a month! What does your business have to do with the old man? ”

"Hey, you old thing, I can't tell you anymore?! If you know each other, get out early, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you. ”

"What? Do you still dare to beat the old man? Believe it or not, the old man shouted outside, so that those children of the Shangxian Book Club could see how your family bullies readers? ”

"You cunning old and cunning guy, you are still a scholar?!"

"Boss Zhang, don't think that the old man is a fool, with your current appearance, even the dozen or so brothers under your hands can't get along with you, what ability do you have to call someone now?"

"You...... You ......"

The two of them were arguing in the hall, and they didn't notice Bai Song coming.

Bai Song stood beside the two of them and coughed lightly: "Cough! ”

The two heard the voice and saw that it was Bai Song, so they stopped pulling.

When Boss Zhang saw Bai Song, he frowned: "You...... What are you here for? ”

"Hey!" Bai Song sighed, "If you have nothing to do, come and take a look, you see that the door of my house is not even open." ”

"What's there to see? If you don't have heroes here, we're not happy, and you're not getting better. ”

Bai Song was not in a hurry, found a stool to sit down, and poured himself a glass of water: "I don't know who lifted a stone and hit his own foot?" ”

Boss Zhang's brows furrowed, this matter was a thorn in his heart.

Originally, he just wanted to deal with Donglai Restaurant, who thought that Chen Sanye was a fool, and he actually made trouble with Mrs. Chen, and caused such a big disaster, not only did Donglai Restaurant have no business, but all restaurants in the county have no business.

Now the owners of other restaurants know that he is the ghost, and now everyone is eager to tear his flesh.

"Boss Zhang, I heard that Shangyuan Restaurant has been in business for many years, and business has not been very good. Even if you lose some silver taels in front of you, it won't even be able to open an old gentleman's salary, right? ”

When Mr. Xie heard this, he echoed again and again: "That's it!" You Shangyuan Restaurant has a big business, where is the lack of these twenty taels of silver? ”

"This is a family matter, can it be related to you?"

Boss Zhang didn't say it, but Bai Song knew it in his heart.

This boss is not short of money, but unwilling to lose money.

Prior to this, Shangyuan Restaurant had been in business for many years, and I don't know how much wealth it had accumulated during this period, how could it be suppressed in just one month to the point that it could not continue to operate.

The key is that Shangyuan Restaurant is not Boss Zhang's personal property, and the major shareholder behind it is the Chen family.

The Chen family is a scholar, but not a businessman.

This Shangyuan Restaurant is a dispensable industry, and even the old lady of the Chen family doesn't know it.

Now the old lady of the Chen family has a very big opinion on this, and the Chen family will never continue to invest money to lose money for a small Shangyuan restaurant.

As a major shareholder, people don't continue to invest, Boss Zhang is only responsible for the operation, and the money he makes is only a small amount, how can he stupidly throw money into it himself?

Naturally, this seemingly huge Shangyuan restaurant is in a very embarrassing situation.

At this time, it was Bai Song's chance.

"Otherwise, you tell the Chen family, and this restaurant will be sold to me."

"You...... You think beautifully! ”

"When you come out to do business, you want profits, and if you mix personal emotions, it is not the quality that a businessman should have. Now the Chen family is unwilling to continue to invest, and you don't want to continue to invest, even the brothers under your hands are scattered, why are you still struggling to support it? I don't want to give money, and I can't even send a storyteller. I looked at this shop, the foundation is good, the land is not small, the building is also well-built, and it can be sold for a lot of money. Three thousand taels of silver, you think about it. ”

"Three thousand taels?!" Boss Zhang laughed angrily, "You can really open your mouth?!" My three-story building, the wood and labor cost more than 1,000 taels of silver! There is also this land, which is the best land in Jixian County, and it is hard to find! Someone was exempt from talking about five thousand taels of silver before, but you said three thousand taels?! ”

Bai Song drank tea, and he didn't do business, and continued: "As for me, I'm just proposing a price, as for whether it's suitable or not, it doesn't seem like you're up to you, right?" Hurry up and discuss it with the Chen family, I can wait. If it really doesn't work, I don't say it. ”

Bai Song paused, got up and was about to leave, suddenly thought of something, turned around and reminded: "Oh, by the way, by the way, a reminder." Just look at the current situation, I don't know how long those students of the Shangxian Book Club are going to make trouble, this shop will lose a day if it is put on for a day, do you want to continue to lose like this, or just take a sum of money for nothing? ”

"You wait!" Boss Zhang shouted.

"What? Can we talk? ”

"As you said, the price is not up to me, I have to ask the Chen family to speak."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here, go and inform the Chen family."

Boss Zhang hesitated slightly, although he was unwilling, he had no choice.

Boss Zhang also knows that business is not vindictive, if he insists on being angry with this kid, he still has some money, enough to play with the opposite family for a year or two, but this is a self-destructive business, how can he do this after so many years of business?

And he also knew that the old lady of the Chen family was extremely angry about this, and Chen Sanye was beaten up after he went back, and the Chen family would definitely not invest too much in Shangyuan Restaurant.

Shangyuan Restaurant is now a piece of chicken ribs for the Chen family, and Boss Zhang also knows that he is a dispensable small role for the Chen family.

If it drags on like this, I can't guarantee that I will be swept away by the Chen family that day, leaving aside the relationship.

When it really comes, I guess I won't be able to get anything.

Instead of a bamboo basket to draw water, it is better to take as much as you can.

After thinking about it, Boss Zhang decided to go to Chen's house.

Boss Zhang called a carriage and arrived at the third master's house a quarter of an hour later.

Chen Sanye was beaten by the old lady, and now he is still recuperating in bed, when he heard that Boss Zhang was coming, Chen Sanye was furious in the room, and asked Boss Zhang to go in and smashed a tea set.

Boss Zhang was wronged in his heart, and his heart explained that you did things by yourself without using your brain, lifting a stone and hitting yourself in the foot, why did you end up blaming me?

Thinking about it, he still didn't dare to offend the people of the Chen family, hiding while begging for mercy: "The third master is angry, the third master is angry, it's all the little brother who didn't think about it!" ”

Chen Sanye vented on the bed, and he lost his strength, so he stopped, screamed twice, and then sighed heavily: "Hey! I don't blame you for this, I just hate that I didn't think too carefully before doing things, and I knew that today, it would be better to burn down his building with a fire! Say, "What is this coming?" ”

"Someone wants to buy Shangyuan Restaurant, third master, look ......"

"Buy? How many silver taels are out? ”

"Three thousand."

"Three thousand?! Let him eat! Which bastard, don't you use us as a pastime? ”

"Third master, I think so too. It's just that the current situation is different from the past, this month lost seventy or eighty taels of silver, a few days ago the old lady came to do a chores, a good piece of furniture in the shop is difficult to find, and I am afraid that it will take dozens of taels to make up for the furniture, the key is that now Shangxian Book Club is making trouble, and I don't know when it will be able to resume business? ”

After hearing this, Chen Sanye also frowned.

"Why don't you talk to the old lady? Let him not run his own shop. ”

"Fart, the old lady has the best face."

"If the third master doesn't want to sell, then he has to come up with a way! You can't let the building be abandoned here, at least give some money to maintain the cost of the restaurant. ”

As soon as he heard that he was taking the silver, Chen Sanye's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not that it can't be sold, it's just that the three thousand taels of silver are too ......."

Before the words fell, a subordinate voice came from outside: "Third Master, Young Master Xiwen is here." ”
