"Well, I'm sorry, we just figured out a new way to eat it. I'm sorry if it doesn't taste good. Come back next time, I guarantee it will taste better than now." Boss He had a very casual attitude.
Everyone was speechless. Some of the meddlesome ones paid the money reluctantly, but some of the fearless ones did not indulge him and directly retorted:
"You guys just copied Xiao Ji's hot and sour noodles, and you say you figured it out yourself. You must be jealous of their business. As for your noodles, I didn't want to eat them a second time after trying them once. They're not as good as the clear soup noodles mentioned above. Xiao Ji's hot and sour noodles are delicious even without meat. Their boss is also very polite. In this hot weather, he even prepared free mung bean soup. I'm never coming to your place again."
These words really broke Boss He's defense. You just say it, but you have to compare him with the Xiao family. He can't stand it.
Then his face darkened:
"If you don't like it, who would ask you to come? You eat such heavy food every day, aren't you afraid of getting a sore mouth? Why don't you want to pay for my noodles?"
"Hey, I go out and spend money on noodles just to fill my stomach and enjoy the delicious food. You won't let me say your noodles are not good. No wonder you can't compete with others in business. You deserve it. Who owes you those few cents? Take it. I'm going to Xiao Ji to eat." This customer was also a hot-tempered person. He slammed the money on the table and left.
The other guests also saw Boss He's true face and showed contemptuous expressions to him.
The customer who made the challenge actually left He Ji's noodle stall and went straight to Xiao Ji.
After everyone left, Mr. He's wife came out and said to him in embarrassment:
"Boss, it's not right for us to talk like this. To run a business long term, you have to be kind to your customers."
Unexpectedly, Boss He glared at her fiercely:
"What do you know as a woman? You have long hair but little knowledge. Go and do your own thing!"
Boss Mrs. He is a punching bag and is always submissive in front of her husband. She just thinks that doing business should not be done like him, but he won't listen to her advice.
Afterwards, because of the gimmick of the hot and sour noodles, it did attract a lot of uninformed customers, but they were all unwilling to make the mistake a second time after falling into the trap once. It can be said that there were no repeat customers.
But because of this gimmick, Boss He still made money, so he didn't care.
The Xiao family was not greatly affected by Boss He's operation and continued to perform steadily, earning nearly three hundred coins in a day.
Jiang Sui was no longer worried. Let Boss He do whatever he wanted. He wouldn't be able to last long.
Sure enough, the next day Boss He's approach no longer worked. Everyone spread the word that he was a profiteer and was unwilling to suffer losses. So they went to Xiao Ji instead, preferring to spend a few more cents to buy good taste and good attitude.
Boss He looked at his deserted stall. The kneaded dough was about to go bad due to the hot weather.
Seeing this, Boss He sighed helplessly.
It was originally thought that he would lower the price in turn for a few days as he had discussed with other stall owners at the beginning. However, on the fourth day, he had not lowered the price yet, which caused dissatisfaction among other owners, and they came to ask for an explanation.
At this time, Boss He was completely defeated and said bluntly:
"What? I just won't lower the price. There's no business anyway. What difference does it make whether I lower the price or not? I didn't say you can't lower the price."
He is a good guy. He made some money by selling hot and sour noodles before, but now he is acting like a rogue and leaving no way out for others.
Although everyone was angry, they could do nothing about it. If they had known earlier, they would not have associated with him.
…
Three days had passed since the letter was sent. On the evening of the third day, Xiao's father, the eldest Xiao and the second Xiao packed their bags and returned.
Almost as soon as he received the letter, he found the foreman and told him that something happened at home and he had to go back for a few days. The foreman agreed and gave him a few days off.
This kind of thing happened suddenly at home, and he lost a child out of nowhere. He felt very bad.
The eldest and the second brother also came back, because when they went to Liujia Village, they couldn't let their father and the third brother go alone. After all, it was someone else's territory. They came back to serve as a backup and prevent them from being bullied. This is the time when brothers work together.
The first thing Xiao's father did when he came back was to find his third son to discuss things.
"Ayi, what do you think of Liu? If you still want to keep a woman like her as your wife, you are really foolish. It is said that you should marry a virtuous woman who is suitable for the family, but Liu has been restless since she came into the family. It's ok for her to say something unpleasant, but she always favors her parents' family and even helps them to force us. In my opinion, we must not keep her at home."
Father Xiao originally thought that Liu just had some bad habits, but he let it go because his son liked her very much. But now she has caused the current situation because of her selfishness, and he simply cannot tolerate it.
In just a few days, Xiao Yi's chin was already covered with stubble, and he looked unkempt and decadent.
Now that his father is back, it's time for him to express his opinion:
"Dad, Liu has disturbed our family, and I no longer have any thoughts about her. I have already written the divorce letter. Please go over sometime to break off this marriage."
Seeing his son so wise, Xiao's father felt relieved.
"It would be great if you can figure it out. Tomorrow, your elder and second brothers, your mother and I will go to Liujia Village with you to sort out this matter. Then we can call your second uncle and his two sons to come along. We must not lose to them in terms of momentum."
Uncle Ergen should be considered the only person in Xianhe Village who still has a good relationship with Xiao's father.
Uncle Ergen was also happy to support Xiao's father and readily agreed to take his two sons with him to Liujia Village.
The reason why Xiao's mother went with him was that she was Xiao Yi's mother, and she would be needed to say some polite words after they got there.
So tomorrow's stall will be left to Jiang Sui, Zhou Shi, and Xiao Lanlan.
There was no problem as long as Jiang Sui was there, and it was time for Zhou to go for acupuncture.
The next morning, everyone drove the ox cart to the town together, helped to set up the stall, and then turned to Liujia Village.
It was the first time for the vendors on the street to see such a large family as the Xiao family. They learned that the family had four sons, all of whom were tall and looked very strong.
This also served to scare some people who had bad intentions, letting them know that if a real fight broke out, the Xiao family would not be afraid of trouble.
When Uncle Ergen saw that the Xiao family had set up such a big stall, he was a little envious and surprised for a moment.
Everyone in the village knew about the Xiao family's business. Some people even came to taste the food during business hours, and Xiao's mother even deliberately charged them less.
When the villagers heard that her family's business was booming and that they could earn hundreds of coins a day, they were all extremely envious.
There is no shortage of jealous people in the village. Seeing that the Xiao family is making money in business, they want to come and find out how they make money. But when Xiao Lanlan and Zhou are at home, the door is always closed and no one can come in. Every day after Goudan gets home from school, a bunch of people come to ask him questions, but Goudan says nothing and knows nothing about anything.
