Chapter 60: A Young Man Knows No Sorrow (2)

After eating the pears, Xu Che got up and walked into the store, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the shopkeeper Li was crouching in front of the counter and fiddling with the abacus to hang the account, and immediately remembered the previous promise of Meng Yue, thinking that if he just used plain words to state the matter, then there would be no possibility of convincing the shopkeeper Li, and it was only possible to come up with a set of rhetoric that pierced people's hearts.

Thinking of this, he quietly retreated, slowly exited the store, paced back and forth under the stone steps at the door, and began to flip countless thoughts in his heart, after some meditation, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, so he stepped into the door, came to the side of the shopkeeper Li, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper, the little one will tell you something." ”

Shopkeeper Li didn't look at him directly, his eyes only stared at the account book on the counter, and said impatiently: "If you want to talk about arrears of wages, then you don't need to speak." ”

Xu Che immediately said: "The shopkeeper is very kind to me, how can I mention such non-trivial thoughts!"

Shopkeeper Li said: "It's good that you know...", but as soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Stinky boy, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Che hurriedly explained: "The shopkeeper has solved my urgent needs many times, this kind of kindness, I am unforgettable!"

Shopkeeper Li said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense with me here, you have a fart to release quickly, I'm busy!"

Xu Che coughed and said with a smile: "That's the case, hasn't our store's business been robbed a lot by Nancheng's 'Yunkelai' recently, so I secretly went to their store to investigate, wanting to find out what means they used to rob so many of our customers, but fortunately, the hard work paid off.

As soon as he heard this, Shopkeeper Li immediately became interested, left the abacus with both hands, turned to look at Xu Che, and said, "Oh, you have a heart, then tell me, what is the reason for this?"

Xu Che said seriously: "If you want to talk about the type and taste of this dish, the 'Yunkelai' is not only 108,000 miles away from our 'Bafang Cloud Building', and then this environment, you look at us here, it is really called a plain and elegant, unique..."

Seeing that Xu Che began to talk nonsense again, Shopkeeper Li was angry and funny in his heart, and immediately interrupted: "Why do you need to talk about the advantages of this color and fragrance." You don't talk too much, pick up the important ones!"

Xu Che said: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't I show the merits of the situation..." Seeing that the shopkeeper Li's brows gradually furrowed, he had to say briefly: "As for the reason, it is that there are some flowers missing in our store." ”

Shopkeeper Li said strangely: "What kind of flower head?"

Xu Che began to pretend to be secretive again, and said with a sense of fact: "This flower head is a program that provides entertainment when guests are eating, such as singing, juggling, and storytelling..."

Hearing him say this, Shopkeeper Li's shrewd little eyes suddenly narrowed a slit, and after a smile, he asked, "Then according to your meaning, we should also invite some tricksters to help?"

Xu Che immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "The shopkeeper is really wise!"

Shopkeeper Li suddenly changed color, and scolded: "Phew! My 'Bafang Cloud Building' has been established for a hundred years since the store was established, and the reason why it can stand tall is because of the rich dishes and rich taste. Is it that when it comes to my hands, it has fallen so far as to rely on those side doors to survive?"

In the face of the scolding, Xu Che was not timid, what he was waiting for was the reaction of the shopkeeper Li, and now the timing was right, so he said eloquently: "The shopkeeper is not in a hurry, and listen to me a few words." In the past, our 'Bafang Cloud Tower' was in this Kunming City, which was the leader and invincible, but what about the current status? Presumably the shopkeeper also knows it in his heart. Recently, new restaurants have sprung up, and our old customers don't know how much they have been diverted, and now our situation is surrounded by strong enemies, and the situation is grim!"

As he spoke, his eyes kept staring at the change in Shopkeeper Li's expression, but after seeing the hesitation in Shopkeeper Li's eyes, he continued: "There is an old saying: 'A saint cannot be timely, but can do things at the right time, and those who can do things at the right time, their merits will follow the trend. 'In the face of such a predicament, how can we not change our formation according to the situation to meet the change!"

After listening to these words, the shopkeeper Li slowly lowered his head, although he is a cautious and old-fashioned person, but he is not stupid, he also understands these truths, and has also moved the idea of change, but when it comes to putting it into action, he suddenly feels that this move seems to be insulting to the ancestors, after all, his ancestors are relying on their duty to cook, to tempting and delicious to retain repeat customers, is it their turn to take charge of the store, can only rely on the side door to attract customers? Thinking about it like this, he felt more and more that such an act was really undignified, and he was ashamed of his ancestors, so the idea of change was removed from his mind.

However, at the moment, Xu Che suddenly proposed such a change measure, which couldn't help but arouse his mind again, and thought: "Although this kid's idea is not clever, but his words are good, if this store is folded in my hands, it will be a shame to the ancestors." I might as well give it a try first, I don't mix it myself, I just leave it to him to cook. If the business improves after doing this, it will not be too late for me to intervene; if the results are not good, I will scold him severely, so that I can be regarded as having an explanation to my ancestors..."After comforting myself, I raised my head and said: "There is some truth in what you say, but..."

Xu Che was overjoyed in his heart, and before the shopkeeper Li finished speaking, he answered: "If the shopkeeper has a heart, I will go to find a flower head, and try him for a few days, if this move is very effective, we will make detailed arrangements in the future." ”

Shopkeeper Li asked, "Do you have a way?"

Xu Che patted his chest and said: "The name of our 'Bafang Cloud Building' is a big hit in this Kunming City, and how many artists are looking forward to coming, so I will first find a storyteller to try the response." ”

Shopkeeper Li hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be busy arranging, you go and find someone, I need to take a look at it before I make a calculation." ”

Xu Che recognized his face and color, knowing that the shopkeeper had moved his mind, and his heart was even happier, but his face was silent, and he responded: "The shopkeeper will wait a while, and I will go to find someone to come over." After saying that, he turned around and went out, walked down the steps, and after avoiding the sight of the shopkeeper, he was finally overjoyed, and ran to the next street with a cheer.

He ran the entire long street in one go, and finally met Meng Yue around the corner. The two glanced at each other, Meng Yue's face suddenly showed joy, and she asked, "How is it?"
