Chapter 406 I Still Have This Confidence
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the shop opposite, then smiled and said, "It's useless if there are no customers in the shop. If the shop is small, the business will be better when there are queues.
Besides, our current shop is not small. If we expand it further, all the people will go to the shop, and there will be no one to work in the village."
Gu Nanming felt that this was also the case, so he stopped dwelling on it and went to the store to help.
There are only a few customers in the shop opposite, and they all run across because they can't eat here. To put it bluntly, the food leaks from their mouths.
But even if it comes out of your mouth, it’s useless if the other party can’t catch it.
Look, some of the past guests are back.
But if you look closely, there really aren't enough seats in their store.
After thinking for a moment, she instructed, "Di Guo, find some wood tomorrow and build a bigger shed outside. This way it will be a little wider and the store won't be so crowded."
"Okay, miss!" Di Guo took the order and thought for a moment before saying, "Miss, you can open a shop like this in the capital. I guess the business will be better than here."
"Really?" Gu Xiaoxi had never thought about it before. After all, that place was inhabited by rich people, who might not like the food in their store.
"Miss, although that place is full of rich people, they are also interested in delicious food and wine. Our food is so delicious, those rich people will definitely come to our store." Diguo was still very confident about this.
He has tried all the delicious food and wine in the store, so he is sure to have many loyal customers.
"Okay, if we can really settle down there, we will open another one then." Gu Xiaoxi immediately nodded and agreed.
My family is also accustomed to this busy and good life, and this self-sufficient way of life does not require running around at home, which is also very suitable for my family.
At this time, Tan Dahe just went out and saw Gu Xiaoxi standing not far away talking. He walked over and greeted Gu Xiaoxi.
"Xiaoxi, how come you are free at home these two days?" He felt that it was too difficult to see Gu Xiaoxi.
"Brother Dahe, are you going out?" Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile.
Tan Dahe followed Gu Xiaoxi's gaze and saw the shop opposite.
"I'm going out to check out the shops in the city. What's wrong? Are you worried that you can't compete with the shop across the street?" he said jokingly.
hehe……
Gu Xiaoxi smiled and replied, "Not really. I still have some confidence. However, the other party was being clever. Yesterday..."
When Tan Dahe heard about this, he said without surprise, "Guan Laoliu has always been dishonest in business. When I was doing business with him before, he mixed some second-grade herbs with first-grade herbs and gave them to me, and I scolded him bitterly.
Over the years, because he has not been honest in his business dealings, many people no longer want to cooperate with them.
I didn't expect him to actually compete with you for business, really, ah..."
When Gu Xiaoxi heard what Tan Dahe said, she probably understood her opponent's character.
With such a character, who knows what he will do in the future?
"You're not busy. Come over for dinner when I'm done with my work these few days. I'll call Brother Lai over too, and you can have a few drinks." She said politely.
"That's great. Brother Lai sold me a batch of good medicinal materials some time ago. The quality is really good." Tan Dahe couldn't help but praise him.
Gu Xiaoxi could also guess that Lai Yifeng sold all the medicine to Tan Dahe, but she thought that Tan Dahe was a good person and at least he would not be too deceitful. Besides, giving away too many good medicinal materials would also cause trouble.
Tan Dahe is different. He is a big wholesaler, so it is normal for him to receive good medicinal materials.
"It wasn't easy to dig out those medicines from him. Since you are a trustworthy person, everyone can rest assured." Gu Xiaoxi told the truth.
"I can see that such good medicine cannot be found in ordinary places. Okay, I'll go out first. See you tomorrow night." After saying this, Tan Dahe waved his hand, walked to the side of the road and got on the carriage.
Gu Xiaoxi walked along this road and came to the door of the shop opposite.
The boss, Guan Laoliu, sat at the door of the shop with a sad face, looking at the sparse customers in the shop, his face very dark.
"Boss, there are only a few customers left. Why don't you just give up?" the waiter kindly advised.
"Give up for nothing! I don't believe that we can't get any business from our store." Guan Laoliu looked unwilling to give up.
His eyes rolled around for a while and he asked the waiter to put his ear on.
After Guan Laoliu muttered a few words, the waiter looked at the boss in disbelief.
"What are you looking at me for? Go away?" Guan Laoliu yelled at the waiter.
The waiter nodded and bowed to get the horse, then rode towards the city.
When Gu Xiaoxi saw this situation, he thought to himself that this guy must have come up with some bad idea?
Anyway, life has become quieter and a little boring now, so it would be nice to have a fool looking for trouble.
Guan Laoliu didn't notice Gu Xiaoxi's appearance at all. He was very proud of his good idea and went into the inner room to sleep happily.
They also have their own farm behind this place, where they grow some medicinal herbs.
Originally, this was the place where he came back to recuperate, but his other businesses had not been going well recently, so he came back to live for a while.
After settling down, I found that the business across the street was incredibly good. Dozens of jars of wine were sold every day, not to mention all sorts of other things.
It would be strange if he wasn't tempted by such a small shop that has business comparable to that of shops in the city.
However, he never dreamed that the other party was someone he could not afford to offend.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't stay here for long and turned back to her shop.
She found a place to sit down, ate some of her favorite dried tofu, drank a sip or two of wine, and was very happy to see the guests enjoying their food.
"Brother Gu, are there no fried pig intestines today?" A customer arrived a little late and asked about his favorite side dishes as soon as he arrived.
"Oh, Brother Chen, you're late today. We're almost closing the stall. That thing tastes good, but it's sold out long ago." Gu Hexiao said apologetically.
"You don't know, business has been bad recently. The bosses have too high demands every day. The work that could have been completed in one or two hours now takes three or four hours." Uncle Chen said depressedly.
"Come and sit down here and talk." Gu He led Uncle Chen to a small table next to them and asked Ximing to prepare some snacks and serve Uncle Chen a pot of good wine.
Gu Xiaoxi discovered that her father had new friends here, and she pricked up her ears with interest to listen to what they were talking about.
"Come, brother will have a drink with you. It's my treat today." Gu He said.
"How can that be? You've already treated me three times this month. No, no, no." Uncle Chen waved his hands repeatedly.
"Okay, we are so familiar with each other, don't I know your situation? Let's not talk about this, eat something first, and tell me what happened." Gu He took the bowl of meat porridge handed over by his youngest son and placed it in front of Uncle Chen.
When Uncle Chen heard what Gu He said, he stopped refusing and drank the meat porridge in one gulp. Then he talked about what had happened in the past few days.
After hearing what Uncle Chen said, Gu Xiaoxi frowned.
