"Hey, Miss Su, Brother Su, what a coincidence?"
On the street ahead, Shopkeeper Sun leisurely got off the carriage and walked towards the two of them with a smile.
He glanced at the brother and sister who were wearing linen cotton clothes and empty-handed in the cold wind, and the smile in his eyes became even stronger: "Are you here to buy things too? It seems that you didn't buy anything. Is it because the New Year is coming soon and the store is out of stock?"
"What's it got to do with you?" Su Ergou asked back unhappily.
Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile: "Brother Su, don't be so angry. We are all businessmen, and harmony brings wealth!"
Su Ergou said unhappily: "Who wants to make money with you?"
Shopkeeper Sun looked at Su Xiaoxiao standing beside him again.
Compared to her furious brother, the chubby country girl seemed much calmer. She didn't seem surprised to see him, as if she had expected him to appear here at any time.
"Miss Su, what do you want to buy? If you can't find it, tell me! I'm happy to help you!"
Shopkeeper Sun said in a high-sounding manner.
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Isn't it a bit too shameless for you to say this?"
"Ah! It's you! It's you who did it! You didn't allow the shop to sell flour to us!" Su Ergou on the side finally reacted.
Shopkeeper Sun's smile faded a little, but he did not deny it anymore.
After all, only opponents of equal strength are worth repeated and careful testing, but when dealing with two ants, there is no need to be cautious at all.
In the past, he valued Jin Ji's reputation, and since the chubby village girl was in the limelight of saving people, he thought of buying her recipe.
Unexpectedly, she rejected me mercilessly.
Shopkeeper Sun could see that although Su Ergou was a male, the one who really made the decision was this chubby village girl.
He looked at Su Xiaoxiao and smiled meaningfully: "Some people don't know how to be polite. They don't accept the toast and drink the wine for punishment. Miss Su, what do you think?"
Su Xiaoxiao said bluntly: "Tell me, what do you want?"
Shopkeeper Sun put his hands behind his back and said proudly, "My Jinji has been open in Xinghua Town for 21 years. I don't know how many colleagues have gone. Business these days is easy or difficult, depending on how it is done and who does it. For example, Miss Su, you have the ability and skills, but unfortunately you are just a village girl. Anyone on the street can easily kill you. Do you believe that as long as I, Sun, say a word, from now on, no one within a hundred miles will dare to sell flour to you! A good cook cannot cook without rice. Without flour, what can you use to make cakes?"
Su Ergou said angrily, "Hey! You are such a vicious person! How can we hinder Jinji by selling our cakes? You still have so many customers! Business is still so good! I don't see you making less money!"
This is both right and wrong.
It is true that Su Xiaoxiao’s production is limited, and Jin Kee’s sales have not been greatly affected in the short term.
What is wrong is that Jin Kee’s reputation is declining.
After customers have tried the dim sum sold by Su Xiaoxiao, they will feel that the dim sum sold by Jin Ji is not worth the price at all.
"You do so much just for the recipe." Su Xiaoxiao hit the nail on the head.
Shopkeeper Sun's thoughts were exposed, and he was embarrassed for a moment: "Alas, how can I respond to this? I, Sun, have always wanted to make a good relationship with Miss Su, but Miss Su has never given me a chance. Now the boss has heard a little bit of the news, and I can't explain it to the boss."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I am not interested in your internal affairs of Jinji. If you are just after the formula——"
Su Xiaoxiao paused when she said this.
Shopkeeper Sun showed a smile of gradual success.
"Then I may disappoint you."
Shopkeeper Sun suspected that he had heard it wrong.
What did this girl say? To disappoint him?
Su Ergou shouted, "My sister means that we won't sell the formula!"
Shopkeeper Sun shook his head: "Girl, you are too young. You probably haven't experienced the consequences of not accepting a toast. Don't think that just because I've been polite to you time and time again, you really think I have no temper!"
Su Xiaoxiao had experienced Manager Sun's temper as early as the first time he went to Jinji to save the child.
This person is not a good person. He only cares about business and will do anything to achieve his goal. He is the one who smiles and the one who is cunning.
He has made an indispensable contribution to Jin Kee's continued success in business over the years.
He has talent, but in terms of character, he lacks a bit of humanity.
Su Ergou took a few steps forward and stood in front of Su Xiaoxiao. He said to Shopkeeper Sun, "Who are you trying to scare? If you are mean to my sister again, I will beat you up!"
"Brother Su——"
"Who are you calling little brother? Are you calling me little brother? My sister said she won't sell it to you! Even if you ask her a hundred times, she still won't sell it to you!"
Shopkeeper Sun's smile turned cold again: "Miss Su, are you sure you want to go against Jin Ji?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "So in the eyes of Shopkeeper Sun, I, a little village girl, am qualified to go against the majestic Jinji. Is Shopkeeper Sun praising me, or is he lowering the status of Jinji?"
Shopkeeper Sun’s expression froze for a moment.
That’s right, he was just a country vendor, and Jinji wouldn’t be interested in him.
It's like a fierce tiger, how could it care about an ant on the ground? But he cared about it, not only cared about it, but also felt like a thorn in his throat.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, "You just said that harmony brings wealth, but I just disagreed to sell the formula to you, and you made things difficult for us. Is it true that in your Jinji, business is not about mutual consent, but forced buying and selling?"
Shopkeeper Sun's expression became even uglier.
This girl is so eloquent that I can't even win an argument with her.
However, I am not here to reason with her today! Shopkeeper Sun said in a deep voice: "Girl, I will ask you one last time, do you want to sell the formula or not?"
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "No, even if you ask me a hundred times, I still won't sell it."
Shopkeeper Sun's eyes turned cold: "It seems that you are planning to go down a dead end!"
Su Ergou's crisis instinct from years of fighting made him realize that something was wrong.
"What do you want to do?" he shouted.
Shopkeeper Sun snorted coldly and made a gesture. Seven or eight big men immediately jumped out from the alley blocked by the carriage. They all looked ferocious and looked as if they were going to beat people into the mud.
"Mr. Sun, do you want to fight?"
He can do this!
Su Ergou rolled up his sleeves and said, "Sister! Let me do it! I haven't fought for a long time, and I'm itching to fight!"
Su Ergou instantly transformed into the little bully of the Su family.
The other side has more people and it would be difficult for Su Ergou to gain the upper hand if they fight with real guns and knives, so Su Ergou plans to capture the man with the surname Sun first.
But the other party seemed to have expected him to do this, and they swarmed towards him.
