Chapter Ninety-Seven: Eavesdropping
At noon on this day, Qin Juefu rushed back home with two subordinates, and as soon as he entered the house, he couldn't help but shout excitedly to Qin Youfeng, who was facing the door: "Father, I have now completely figured out how to do it in the Homeinn, and we can also do it in Yunli Prefecture! You believe me, it won't take long to ......."
Qin Youfeng was holding a rag stained with oil and sweat at this time, concentrating on wiping an old tray of vegetables, as if he hadn't heard Qin Juefu's words, Qin Juefu involuntarily stopped talking.
It wasn't until he wiped everything that Qin Hufeng seemed to come back to his senses, turned to look at Qin Juefu, and said, "You're back." β
"Ah, it's back......"
Qin Juefu picked up the train of thought just now, and said excitedly: "Father, it's a homeinn, my son has already figured out their methods, and we can do the same......"
Qin Youfeng folded the rag and put it on the tray and said, "No need." I have already negotiated cooperation with the homelike Xu Dongjia, and the future will mainly be done by them, and we will assist on the side. β
"Ahh
Qin Juefu was stunned for a moment: "This ...... How can this be?!Yuelai Inn is our Qin family's business, how can we listen to them?!Father, this ...... I don't agree!"
"Huh?"
Qin Youfeng glanced at Qin Juefu with his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"
Qin Juefu's heart was empty, and his momentum was discharged, and he said: "However, Yuelai Inn is our Qin family's property, how can it be handed over to outsiders? You won't be deceived, right?"
Qin Youfeng slapped the table and reprimanded: "Bastard! Your Lao Tzu has been in business for so many years, and he has seen more people than you have eaten, who can deceive me? The main reason is that there is the support of Huaqingzong behind the Homeinn, they are now coming to Yunlizhou to open a store, and we will benefit both sides if we cooperate with them, and if we fight, we will suffer." β
Qin Juefu wiped the sweat on his head and said hurriedly: "I have figured out the routine of Homeinn, even if I compete with them, I am not afraid!"
"Confused!"
Qin Youfeng's brows furrowed, and he lowered his voice and said: "What is the most important thing for our Qin family now? It is to awaken the spirits! Cooperate with the homeinn, you can make the inn's business go to a higher level in a short time, on the contrary, if you fight with the homeinn, even if you can win in the end, it will be a miserable victory, how much will the popularity of the tourists during this period of time be lost? What about the business in the future? Juefu, you must remember that the spirit is the foundation!" As long as the spirit awakens, our Qin family will have roots, otherwise, no matter how big the business is, it will be just a fat pig in the pigsty, and the power of life and death is in the hands of others!"
Qin Juefu was trained to lose his temper, but he was still not very willing, and asked Ai Ai in the future: "Then what kind of cooperation method do we have with the Rujia?
Qin Youfeng smiled confidently and said: "This is something that my father has naturally thought of a long time ago - after cooperating with Homeinns, our Qin family's own store is still independent, only dividends, the name of the store does not change, and the guys used remain the same, as long as you go to receive training from Homeinns, and we also have dividends for the newly opened stores together, and the name of the store should be dropped out of the word 'Yuelai' after 'Homeinns'!"
After listening to this, Qin Juefu thought about it, and found that his family seemed to only take advantage of it and did not suffer losses, and his heart was also smooth, and then complimented: "Dad, you are old and wise!"
Qin Youfeng had a smile on his face, but his heart was secretly heartbroken, it was precisely because the old store did not change its name and the new store was named, Xu Mo cut his dividends by one percent, but this is only temporary, as long as the spirit awakens, he doesn't mention it at that time, Xu Mo has to take the initiative to change the conditions!
At this time, Qin Juefu saw Qin Youfeng staring at the tray next to him without speaking, thought for a while, and asked, "What am I going to do now?"
Qin Youfeng came back to his senses and said, "Well, you go to Shengyun Mansion again and see the two shopkeepers." β
Qin Juefu: "......"
..............................................................................
On the left side of the Qin family, there was a separate courtyard connected by a door, at this time, Xu Mo opened his eyes and went through the conversation between the father and son of the Qin family in his heart-
Since living in Qin's house, the first thing he did was to draw everything around him into the "Listening to the Toad Map", and found that as long as he concentrated, he could hear the movement of his attention.
This must have something to do with "Mirage".
He still remembered that when he was in Yancheng, every time he walked through the place where the "Listening Toad Map" was drawn, he could fit in with the surrounding environment, and it was also through this ability that he discovered the Qi brothers who wanted to harm him, but at that time, including before coming to Yun Lizhou, it was still difficult for him to hear the other party's conversation, especially when he was far away or in a noisy environment.
The reason why he can hear the conversation now should be related to his martial arts cultivation to the third layer of the Earth Yuan Realm.
The so-called "internal strength" not only refers to the strength of the internal organs, which can resist stronger attacks, but also refers to the five internal organs that can provide more strength, but in Xu Mo's opinion, in addition to these two benefits, the step of exercising the internal organs also clears the deep injuries and stasis, so that the organs run more smoothly, which naturally reduces the mutual influence between them.
Don't underestimate this impact, for ordinary people, as long as it is not an obvious lesion, people actually can't feel their impact on the body, but for people who practice martial arts, the qi and blood are strong and the senses are keen, and this influence will increase accordingly, and unlike other people who practice martial arts, Xu Mo is looking inside and "Stealing the Sky" With the help of him, this step was almost perfect, that is to say, almost all the organs in his abdomen have reached the best state, and they have almost no influence on each other, so his attention is correspondingly little affected by himself, and "Listening to the Toad" makes him fit with the environment very well, so that he can hear the conversation between the two in the noisy daytime, dozens of meters away and several walls.
Of course, he doesn't have the habit of spying on other people's privacy, and doing this will also consume energy, but people in the rivers and lakes, it is necessary to keep a vigilance, just now he also found out that Qin Juefu arrived, which attracted his attention, and now thinking back to the conversation between the two, he really gained something: The awakening of the Qin family's guardian should be related to the passenger flow and popularity of the inn.
Knowing this, he would be able to observe the process of the Qin family's awakening at close range, which was definitely an invaluable experience for him!
With this discovery, he suddenly became a little interested in the conversation of the guests in the inn in front of him, so he closed his eyes and listened intently:
The Yuelai Inn consists of a row of two-story buildings that occupy almost half of the street, and there are two separate courtyards around the corner, and in this hot season, if there are no rooms on the first floor, almost no one will choose the second floor.
Xu Mo first focused on the southernmost small building, there was really no one on the second floor, and there were three rows of large shops on the first floor.
The situation in the two rooms adjacent to it was much the same, but in the fourth room, Xu Mo heard a conversation related to himself:
β...... It's not that I said, this Yuelai Inn is not worthy of carrying shoes for the Homeinn! People are like home, not only the food is good, but there are Baihuaxuan's sisters singing, just say this place to live, don't believe it when you say it - on this ground, there are people in the shop at any time to clean up, now it's hot, isn't it? People are ready to cool the mung bean water at any time, add sugar, and soak sour plums, a big bowl is only one child! Also, people also sprinkle cold water on the house and the roof, really, living in it is more comfortable than in your own home......
Xu Mo smiled and turned his attention to the adjacent room, but to his surprise, there were people on the second floor this time, and there were four or five people staying in one room!
Listening attentively, I only heard a rough voice say: "This thief God, it's about to heat Lao Tzu!"
At this time, another frivolous and impetuous voice said: "Second brother, don't be impatient, when you're done tonight, let's go to Shengyun Mansion Baihuaxuan to have fun!"
The two didn't say a word, and a fierce-sounding voice whispered: "Silence! Are you afraid that you won't be discovered?"
This sounds like it should be the "big brother" of several people After he finished speaking, the remaining few people were honest, but from the simple conversation of a few people, they seemed to want to do something bad, Xu Mo couldn't help but be interested, he felt that with the character of a few people, and they were acting at night, they would definitely talk about what they were going to do in the middle, so during the afternoon practice, he listened to a few ears, and just as he guessed, when he went to listen for the fourth time, he knew that the target of their action was the Xiao family in the east of the city, and the purpose was the Xiao family's exercises and treasures, and even talked about the plan of action, but this part was very cautious, and it was estimated that they were communicating in code, but there was very little news revealedγ
After listening to their plan, Xu Mo couldn't help but go out to inquire about the Xiao family, and found that the other party was a very low-key small family, and he hadn't heard anything evil.
Of course, the wind is also a stranger to him, and he is absolutely unwilling to involve himself, so he first cautiously went to the Xiao family to investigate, and found that the walls of his house are not high, the door is not new, there are not many rooms, there are no evil servants, and no one enters or leaves, which is really in line with the "low-key" evaluation, but this also makes it more difficult for him to ventilate the news.
After thinking about it, he simply found a tall tree, observed it carefully, and then drew them into the "Listening Toad Picture", but it really didn't work, so he was ready to use "immersive" to go in, throw a letter into the house and leave.
When he finished drawing "Listening to the Toad", he found that there were more than 20 people in the Xiao family, and at this time, one person said in a deep voice: "They will definitely come tonight." β
Xu Mo suddenly felt a cool breath rise from his back.
