Chapter 10 Prepare to die!
"Which eye of yours saw me hit you?"
"Which of you here saw it?"
Su Jingge looked at him.
Zhao Liu looked at everyone; they all had their heads down, and no one dared to speak.
Clearly, they don't want to get involved.
"Sixth Brother, stop wasting your breath on her and smash it!"
"Wait!" Zhao Liu's half-closed eyes snapped open, a ruthless glint in them. "Since Manager Su doesn't welcome us, why should we make a fool of ourselves?"
"It seems we won't be drinking today, but I'd like to see how long your guests can keep drinking."
"The Su family fools are reopening their restaurant? Haha, your restaurant won't make it!"
Su Jingge smiled and said, "Go back and work on the land."
Many people in the restaurant were secretly laughing.
Nowadays, everyone knows that Zhao Liu lost a bet and has to pay a huge sum of money out of his own pocket to repair the ground in front of the shops.
Zhao Liu's face turned ashen: "Let's go!"
The group left in a flurry of activity.
The guests have left.
A gust of wind blew in, and the window frame slammed against the wooden frame, as if a desolate sound was spreading throughout the restaurant.
Ying Xiaohu looked at the empty restaurant and clenched his fists: "Zhao Liu came here to cause trouble, not to offer congratulations."
Su Jingge, on the other hand, said naturally: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Everyone has worked hard today. Go to the counter and collect your reward money. After you collect it, you can rest."
Everyone received a reward except for Manager Xu.
Shuang said she might have gone out to have fun.
"Never mind, let him be."
Su Jingge looked at the accounts and saw that today was not bad, with a turnover of ten taels of silver.
She then checked the menu and realized that she needed to buy many of the dishes.
“Young Master Xiao, please rewrite the shopping list. Pay extra attention to the quantities of the items I circled.”
There are no refrigerators here, so many vegetables can only last for a few days.
Xiao Liyuan nodded.
She went up to the second floor, where a large part of the floor had been renovated, but the private rooms were now ready for use.
Even though the hot spring baths are open now, it's useless because everyone is struggling to get enough to eat. The people who can afford to come to the restaurant are the slightly better-off families in the county.
Besides that, there are merchants.
Ordinary people rarely come here.
Just then, a woman's figure appeared at the door.
Qingyue looked at the restaurant in front of her, with its three gilded characters and a red silk draped over the signboard, no longer crooked and about to fall down.
The gate has also been renovated, and the weeds around the money tree in front of the gate have been cleared away, with new buds sprouting.
Then I noticed that the windows had been newly covered with paper.
"Oh my god! Did I go to the wrong place?" Qingyue blinked, looked around, and realized that this was the place.
She looked into the restaurant and saw only a man at the front desk.
The man had a handsome face and long, flowing hair that cascaded in the wind.
She thought it looked familiar, but couldn't quite place it.
Oh no!
Did Xiao Ziyu really trick the restaurant into handing it over and then sell it?
Her brows furrowed. How could they bully the young lady like this?
A woman, sleeves rolled up, stormed in through the door with an air of menace.
"Tell me, how much did Xiao Ziyu pay you to exchange the restaurant? Let me tell you, even if he gave it to you, it wouldn't make a difference!"
"He deliberately seduced her. My young lady is in poor health, and you knew that but still bought it. You're in cahoots with them. Give my young lady back Yunque Tower!"
Just as Xiao Linyuan finished writing down the ingredient list, he noticed a woman whose clothes were covered in mud, who was carrying a beige package on her shoulder. Her shoes looked like they had been walking for a long time, with the soles worn unevenly and the edges covered in a thick layer of mud.
Her hair was braided into a plait, and it had become somewhat messy because she hadn't combed it in a long time.
His nostrils swelled up as if they were about to spew fire from his anger.
His sleeves were half-rolled up, and he was glaring at him fiercely with a stern look in his eyes.
He frowned slightly. Her words just now must have made her think that he had been tricked into going to the restaurant by his younger brother.
They thought he was a fraud.
He remained calm and used sign language: "Miss, you've misunderstood. I have never occupied Yunque Tower."
Qingyue looked at the man's gesturing, but she couldn't understand: "Stop trying to fool me, speak up! Where's my young lady? Did you kick her out?"
Xiao Linyuan quickly waved his hand: "Your young lady is upstairs; I didn't kick her out."
The woman remained angry because she couldn't understand sign language.
They started fighting: "You lackey, you're worse than a bandit! Hand over the land deed!"
Xiao Linyuan dodged the punch by sidestepping, then waved his hand: "No rush, your young lady is right here—"
The woman followed up with another set of attacks: "Still dare to dodge?"
Xiao Linyuan flipped over and stepped out from in front of the cabinet.
Eighteen punches!
He frowned slightly, realizing that this woman actually knew the Eighteen Shaolin Fists!
Five punches have already been delivered from the set of eighteen punches.
Let's talk this out.
He couldn't fight back against a woman, but she was surprisingly skilled.
"Will you pay or not?" Qingyue was furious.
Just then, Fei Jian came out of the kitchen carrying tea and saw a girl who was much more robust than the average woman, sparring with Xiao Linyuan.
"Who are you?" Fei Jian shouted.
Qingyue turned her head and saw a man dressed in black, with his hair tied high on his head. He was very handsome and dashing, like a chivalrous knight-errant.
"Okay, another one, huh?"
Qingyue threw a punch at Feijian's face. Feijian's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he turned around, keeping the tea still perfectly still.
"Miss, who are you? We have no grudge against you, why are you attacking us?"
"Enough with the nonsense! Anyone a heartless man knows has no heart at all. Give me your life!"
A heartless man?
Fei Jian became increasingly confused as he listened, and parried with one hand.
The tea overflowed, filling the room with a pleasant fragrance.
"Eighteen Fists? Who are you?" Flying Sword realized that this woman was highly skilled.
He then smiled and said, "Not bad, I'll play with you for a bit."
After saying that, he threw a punch and tried to grab her shoulder with one hand, but instead grabbed the bundle behind her shoulder.
This completely enraged Qingyue.
Just as the bundle was about to fall, she raised her foot to kick the man in the center.
Fei Jian was shocked and released his grip, leaping up and landing on the stool.
"You, why did you resort to such underhanded tactics?"
Qingyue smiled and said, "If you can't beat them, just say you can't beat them. Stop talking nonsense!"
She checked the bundle and found it wasn't damaged.
She brushed off the marks left by the man's scratches, then held it protectively in her arms.
Su Jingge was taking inventory on the third floor when she heard a commotion downstairs, the sound of tables colliding, and bowls breaking on the floor.
She realized something was wrong and ran downstairs.
I saw a flying sword fighting with a woman.
She looked closely: "Qingyue?"
The woman turned around when she heard the sound and saw her young lady standing on the second-floor steps. She was so excited that she ran up to her.
He then conducted a thorough examination on her.
"Miss, are you alright? I was so worried about you."
Seeing that Su Jingge was alright, she hugged her tightly again: "Miss, I thought you were being bullied by them, thank goodness you're okay."
Qingyue had completely lost her earlier fierceness; now her eyes were red and she looked at her with heartache.
Su Jingge knew this girl; she and the female lead had grown up together since childhood and she was very loyal.
Su Jingge briefly explained what had happened to her, and the misunderstanding was finally cleared up.
Qingyue poured tea for Su Jingge: "I'm so happy that Miss didn't marry Xiao Ziyu. Miss should have let go of that kind of person a long time ago."
She then glanced at the two people standing on the stage with a disapproving look and sneered, "The Xiao family members are all bad. Miss, don't be fooled by some masked people."
"Who are you calling a masked person? Who are you calling a bad person?" Flying Sword retorted.
"I'm talking to you. If you're so capable, why don't you go fight a war outside?"
Fei Jian bit his lip in anger, then turned his head away and said, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman."
"Alright, Qingyue, they're just general staff at the restaurant now. The successful opening of Yunque Tower this time is all thanks to them. Besides, they helped me drive away Zhao Liu, so they're one of our own."
"I'll listen to you, Miss, but if I find out they dare to take even a single penny from the restaurant, I won't let them get away with it!"
