Chapter 353: Poking the Beggars' Den
Seeing their indifferent attitude, Chen Feng's originally calm face instantly turned ashen.
An uncontrollable anger burst out from my heart and hit my forehead.
He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could rush up and beat these hateful guys down.
But the last bit of rationality made him resist taking action. He took a deep breath and asked in a calm tone,
"What do you want?"
The pockmarked face snorted, "We don't want to do anything, but you, what do you want to do? Don't talk nonsense here. I don't have time to grind my teeth with you."
As he spoke, he blew his nose, shook it hard, and wiped his hands on his body.
Chen Feng quickly took a step back, looking helpless.
Seeing this, the beggars became even more demanding.
The pockmarked man grabbed a pile of rotten vegetable leaves from the ground and scattered them all over the floor.
The other dozen or so accomplices were not idle either. They picked up the broken clay pots on the ground and threw them on the ground, shouting,
"I let you guys bully me, so why would we stop here to rest? We're not going to leave, let's see what you can do."
"That's right, we just eat, drink, defecate and urinate here, it's none of your business."
......
For a moment, leftover food and rotten rice were scattered all over the front door of Ruyi Tower, emitting a foul stench.
Chen Qingqing went out to see patients early in the morning. When she came back with her medicine box, she saw beggars all over the entrance of Ruyi Building and couldn't help frowning.
He jumped in from the beggars and asked the sullen Chen Feng, "Brother, what's going on? Did you disturb the beggars' den so early in the morning?"
Chen Feng shook his head weakly, "Little sister, these people are not beggars at all, they are here to cause trouble."
Chen Feng explained the whole story and sighed at the end, "They won't listen to reason, and they won't respond to violence. What do you think we should do about this?"
Liu Dashao suggested, "These people are just a bunch of hard-boiled meat. In my opinion, don't waste time talking to them. Just report them to the authorities and let them deal with these scoundrels."
Wang Guotou shook his head in opposition. "Reporting this to the authorities might not be effective. What if the authorities turn a blind eye, or even arrest the ringleaders? That would only be a temporary solution. What if these people become even more aggressive later on?"
Liang Caidun angrily took over the conversation, "If we can't even deal with a few stinky beggars, then what's the point of doing business and opening a restaurant? Let's just get started and beat them away. Why waste time talking to them?"
Wang Guotou waved his hand again, "That's even worse. Don't you see? Those people are just scoundrels. If they hurt anyone, they might take the opportunity to cause trouble and blame us. If they really gather in the restaurant, it will be troublesome. Even if we report it to the police, we won't be in the right."
"Oh my god, this is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Are we just going to watch these people mess around?"
Liang Caidun stamped his feet anxiously, looking at Chen Feng who said nothing.
"Boss, you better think of a solution quickly. It's almost dinner time. With these beggars blocking the door, who can get in?"
Chen Feng was at a loss for a moment after hearing this. He looked at Chen Qingqing beside him and said, "Little sister, if this doesn't work, let's go and report it to the police!"
Chen Qingqing was calm. She knew that these beggars had only one purpose, which was to prevent diners from entering Ruyi Tower and thus disrupt its business.
She shook her head. "Brother Liang just said that reporting to the police is only a temporary solution. Even if we arrest these people, they will still come back to cause trouble tomorrow."
Chen Feng asked, "Then we won't do business anymore?"
Chen Qingqing looked around and saw that some of the beggars were looking at them suspiciously with smug looks on their faces. She knew that these people came prepared.
"Don't worry, big brother. They're happy to stay here, so let them stay. Have the waiter buy some linen and wrap the front door, leaving only one entrance. Put up a warning sign saying, 'Construction at the main entrance. Please dine through the side door.' Have the waiter stay there and take the guests directly through the side door."
"Yes, this is a good idea. Why didn't I think of this?"
Chen Feng had a smile on his face.
"Just do as you say. I'll send someone to arrange it right away."
"Brother, don't be happy yet. This method is not a long-term solution. If you want to completely solve the problem, you have to get to the root of it and find out why they are causing trouble."
As Chen Qingqing spoke, she glanced towards the Qingfeng Restaurant across the street. Seeing Wu Shiren craning his neck to look over here, she knew that this matter had something to do with him.
At this time, Wu Shiren looked at the gate of Ruyi Building opposite, which was surrounded by a group of beggars, and he couldn't help but feel good.
It is really a matter of time. I have come to my house today and there will be no more stumbling blocks in the future.
He smiled and instructed Zhao Tian beside him,
"Hurry up and give orders to clean the tables and chairs, prepare the food, and wait for the guests to arrive."
"Boss, I have already given these instructions."
"Alright, those newly developed spicy and sour noodles are ready. Let's make it a hit this time and make our dishes taste delicious, refreshing, and exciting, so they'll want to eat more."
"Don't worry, boss. Duoduo has already prepared those ingredients." Zhao Tian smiled frivolously. "Duoduo is really smart. The hot and sour noodles he made really taste like that."
Wu Shiren was happy to hear this. Since the incident was exposed last time, he no longer hid it.
He directly brought the mistress in and arranged Wu Duoduo in the kitchen, where the chef taught him cooking skills.
Although my daughter Cuihua cried and made a fuss for several days, she was ultimately powerless and had to accept the reality.
"Yes, Duoduo is just like me. He's very smart and can learn anything quickly. If no one finds out, he'll probably be able to make almost all the spicy dishes at Ruyilou. But it's good like this now. We can just let them close down and make more money in the future."
"Boss, you're right. This time, Ruyi Tower will definitely be shut down."
As he spoke, Li the Butcher shook his head and walked over with a smug look on his face. "Brother, how about it? Does this trick of mine work?"
Wu Shiren greeted him with a smile, "Good brother, you have really helped me a lot this time. Come on, sit inside and let's drink and watch the fun."
Just as they were about to enter the house, they heard a loud noise from the opposite side.
Looking back, I saw dozens of shop assistants running out of Ruyi Building, holding sackcloths in their hands, and surrounding the door of Ruyi Building...
