In fact, Su Qingluan's concerns were not unnecessary, because Hu Laoliu really wanted to act like a rogue. After all, when he asked for an exorbitant price, few people seemed to notice.
However, he did not expect that as Su Qingluan's reputation gradually spread in Huaxi Village and even Lefeng Town, her influence was also gradually increasing.
The Su family has always given people the impression of being honest and hardworking farmers. Later, as the Su family's business grew, the Su family never shortchanged the food, and the food they served was always of good quality and low price.
After such a long period of operation, not only has the Su family's offal soup become more and more popular among the people around, but the Su family, a street vendor who has never increased the price or reduced the quantity and has made such a "unpresentable" offal into such a delicious food, has unknowingly accumulated a considerable reputation in the area.
So even if Hu Laoliu wanted to play the game of moral blackmail, everyone was already biased. In addition, it was indeed Hu Laoliu who first asked for an exorbitant price, so no matter how he made a fuss, it was useless.
However, Hu Laoliu was unwilling to give up. He thought of just lying on the ground, throwing a tantrum and calling everyone who passed by to come over, at least to embarrass Su Qingluan.
With this thought, he simply lay down on the ground, howling without tears: "Oh, there's no justice! You're ganging up on an honest man! You're using your numbers to bully the few! Damn it!"
Hu Laoliu waved his hands and kicked wildly, leaving the people who were trying to pull him up helpless - after all, he was a strong adult man, and as the saying goes, "a random punch can kill a master", and he was rolling around like this without any regard for his dignity, and the people around him really couldn't get close to him for a while.
If Su Qingluan was an ordinary girl of thirteen or fourteen, with a thin skin and some pride, she might be afraid of being embarrassed or criticized by unknown passers-by, so she could only hold her nose and endure the scoundrel like Hu Laoliu.
But Su Qingluan lived to be in her twenties in her previous life. Not to mention how knowledgeable she was, she had seen a lot of unreasonable customers in her two "career" stages: working as a chef in a hotel and later selling goods online through live streaming when she fell ill.
How about not wanting to pay the bill after a meal and getting drunk to get away with it? How about seeing the dishes being too expensive but being too embarrassed to leave, and finally being forced to pick and choose the dishes, even secretly throwing odds and ends into the food to extort money? How about using daily necessities for almost a month before saying they are not suitable and asking for a return, only to find that they are so badly worn that they cannot be sold anymore?
In short, there are so many weird things that it’s like a knife stabbing my butt - it’s really eye-opening.
Therefore, Su Qingluan looked at Hu Laoliu, who was rolling around in the middle of the yard and making a fuss, and who was actually just a basic scammer in his previous life, without any ripples in her heart, and even felt like laughing.
Su Qingluan was not worried that her parents would not be able to help but come out to help - she had made three rules with her family yesterday. Although she was the daughter of the Su family, when it came to business, at "Su Ji", she was the boss who had the final say and the person with the highest say.
It is precisely because of this that Su Qingluan needs deterrence and control in "Su Ji".
This was not something that Su Guangfu and Yang, as her parents, could do by always coming out to "support" her whenever there was a disturbance - on the contrary, if Su Qingluan hid behind her father and mother whenever she encountered any difficulties, she would never be able to establish her own prestige.
Although she traveled through time and space and became a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, Su Qingluan never treated herself like a real child and spoiled herself.
For example, right now, many people looked at Su Qingluan with embarrassment, but Su Qingluan's face was cold and expressionless. When some people even wanted to pull Hu Laoliu away, Su Qingluan shouted, "Don't touch Hu Laoliu! Let him struggle on his own, so that he won't take the opportunity to rely on you - I want to see how long he can struggle!"
This was the first time that Su Qingluan called someone by their full name, and in such a nonchalant tone - usually when she met an older person, even if they were applying for a job, Su Qingluan would call them "uncle", "aunt", "uncle" and so on.
Even if they are of the same generation, they will call each other "brother" or "sister" and will never be so rude.
But this is out of basic courtesy. Now that Hu Laoliu is not a human being, there is no need for Su Qingluan to treat him with courtesy.
Originally, this day was used to screen candidates for various positions, and it was not a full-scale work day, so Su Qingluan had originally arranged her schedule very flexibly.
Moreover, she felt that this incident with Hu Laoliu was a good opportunity to make an example of someone and establish her authority, so she continued in a loud voice, "Everyone, please stand more loosely. Someone is letting us watch a monkey show for free. Let's see how long he can keep up the show."
As he spoke, he hugged the back of his clothes and sat on the steps in front of his house, and even smiled at Liu Yunniang and said, "Yunniang, do you want to sit here too?"
Yunniang, however, was acting out of character. She was not as casual as she was when she was with Su Qingluan in private. Instead, she bowed her head slightly and made a benediction very respectfully: "Thank you, madam. I'll just stand there to avoid anyone bumping into you." As she spoke, she took the opportunity to bow to Su Qingluan and winked at her at an angle that others could not see clearly.
Su Qingluan knew that Liu Yunniang was deliberately raising her status in front of everyone, so she took her hand and shook it gently to show that she appreciated her kindness, and did not let her sit with them.
Su Qingluan sat on the steps. The people around her were worried that the tantrum Hu Laoliu would really get close to them, so they tried to stay away from him. However, they were not as cautious as they were at the beginning. Instead, they gathered in groups of three or five, pointing at the man in the middle who was punching and kicking and rolling on the ground, and talking about him.
