Chapter 82
"Yes, their winery not only has a wide variety of wines, but the young master's family is also very nice. At the beginning, they gave me two cans of green wine for free. It sold well, and the owner is generous. Diners also like to drink their green wine."
"The bad thing is that this green wine is easily out of stock. Even I only have two bottles of green wine to sell."
Two bottles of wine, the size of a palm, were bought by just two customers.
Chang Qi was clearly well-informed. "No wonder, the Wu Family Winery is most famous for their homemade green wine. Not to mention that we only have two bottles in our restaurant, even wealthy families only give us this much a month. The owner of this family is truly formidable, not fawning over the powerful. He won't sell to anyone he doesn't like, no matter who comes!"
Su Guoer also laughed after hearing this: "I've never heard of this. How did you know about it?"
Chang Qi did not hide it: "These are all said by some brothers when they were drinking together. Girl, you are a girl, and I rarely tell you about these things on weekdays, so you don't know, but this is actually not uncommon among us men."
This is the problem that Su Guoer has recently realized. There are some things that people around her will never tell her. Because she is surrounded by girls, they always like to talk to her about rouge and powder, and clothing shops. These news are of no use to her.
But now that I have opened a store, I need to keep my ears further away.
It’s not in vain that this store has a Changqi.
Chang Qi suggested, "Actually, it's not difficult to get this information. When you're free, you can go to the lobby and listen. These male diners always like to talk about this while they're drinking. If you listen for a while and then check to see if it's true, you'll probably know a thing or two."
This is actually one of the ways their spies get information.
Su Guoer recalled what the two adults had said to her last time, and she understood a little. "You're right, they sometimes talk too much, especially when they're drunk. They say everything they should and shouldn't say. I've heard that a few times."
"Hehe," Chang Qi laughed, "but there are some things I can't listen to. They're just too..."
"What are you talking about with Sister Guo'er here again?" Wen Qianxi came in from outside. When he heard Chang Qi's words, he was furious: "I'm warning you, put away your temper and don't say bad words in front of my Sister Guo'er, otherwise I will pull out your tongue!"
She pointed at Changqi angrily and told him to shut up.
Su Guoer did not stop her. Although Changqi was a nice person, he was not very careful with his words. Sometimes when he was having a good time talking, he would say some obscene words. But after he realized what was going on, he would immediately stop talking and apologize to Su Guoer.
After a while, he spoke more pleasantly and became less frivolous.
Su Guoer knew that he didn't do it on purpose. It was probably because the environment he lived in before was too bad and he developed a habit. It would be fine as long as he was willing to change.
As soon as Changqi saw Qianxi, he curled his lips and said directly: "Oh, the plague god is coming. Boss, please let me go to the backyard to wash my face." Then he turned around and ran away, running faster than a rabbit.
Wen Qianxi was furious: "This guy is really rotten, Sister Guo'er." She leaned on the counter and discussed seriously with Su Guo'er: "I think Changqi's injuries are all healed now, why don't I give him some money and ask him to leave? Don't let him ruin your restaurant here."
"I'm serious. Changqi is completely rotten! As rotten as the mud in the ground!" He said it indignantly.
Su Guoer looked up. "Do you have any misunderstandings about him? Changqi might be a bit of a mouthful, but he's still a decent person, nothing serious." She said, "But you, I've noticed you've been picking on him lately. Did something happen?"
For a week in a row, Wen Qianxi came to pick a fight with him, and Chang Qi, from the initial quarrel, gradually realized that he could not afford to offend this plague god, and began to stay away from Wen Qianxi as soon as he saw him.
Try not to meet Wen Qianxi.
Su Guoer had been busy recently and hadn't had time to ask Wen Qianxi, "Is there something wrong with Changqi?"
She had to ask clearly, otherwise what if there really was some inside story that she didn't know?
However, if there was a problem with Changqi, Wen Qianxi would probably have told her right away and would not have been so hesitant.
Wen Qianxi was indeed embarrassed to say it, and he looked at Su Guoer hesitantly, hesitating whether to tell her or not.
Su Guoer: "Tell me, there are too many people here, so it's hard to talk. How about we go somewhere else?"
Wen Qianxi: "Oh, no, the main thing is... this guy, Changqi, has a shady private life and a bad reputation, so I was embarrassed to tell you."
He then explained, "I sent someone to inquire about this some time ago. This Changqi, he, he... often stays out all night."
Seeing Su Guoer's confused face, Wen Qianxi gritted his teeth and said, "Guess where he went?" His ears flushed as he spoke.
Su Guoer: "Where did he go?" She couldn't guess.
Then Qianxi said angrily, "Oh, I'm telling you something!" She crept forward and whispered in Su Guoer's ear, "My brother found out that this guy often hangs out in prostitutes and is... involved with a girl named Xianglan in the brothel."
"I heard, I heard that person is his mistress!"
Wen Qianxi's brows were furrowed so tightly that they were about to burst together. "Tell me, how can someone like that work in your shop? What if he gets some dirty disease and passes it on to the customers? And you're so close to him?"
Wen Qianxi looked worried and said, "It's my fault anyway. I'm willing to give him a hundred taels of silver and tell him to find another place to live. Just don't let him stay in your store, okay?"
"Sister Guo'er?"
Su Guoer finally understood.
"So... Changqi is related to the girl named Xianglan in the brothel?"
Wen Qianxi nodded solemnly again: "Absolutely true!"
Su Guoer thought about it for a while, she was still hesitant. She didn't quite believe it. How could Changqi have an affair with a girl in a brothel?
But then I heard someone in the backyard talking: "Hey, hey, Madam Yun, can you help me see if this golden bead is beautiful?"
"This is a gift for my sweetheart. It cost me half a tael of silver!"
Wen Qianxi shouted in the shop, "Look! Look! I told you it was right! Changqi has a lover, and he even buys things for his lover!"
She was like a cat with its fur standing on end.
But Su Guoer felt that it was inappropriate, because it was someone else's private matter, and she shouldn't interfere too much.
Then I heard Yunniang asking in the backyard: "You have a sweetheart so soon? Whose family is she from? I know a matchmaker. I will ask her to propose marriage to that girl on your behalf someday." Yunniang joked.
Chang Qi scratched his head embarrassedly, holding the gold beads in his hand tightly and not letting go: "Hey, her name is Xianglan, and she is now a girl in a brothel."
