Chapter 74274. Big Loss
Today, all the prefectures in Yongchang County are waiting to watch the fun.
Before, seeing the huge number of customers coming to Tianfu Restaurant every day, they felt a little restless.
This is a place where you can make a fortune every day. They can see it but can't eat it. How can they not be itching to try it?
Now, after just a few days of excitement, the business has been snatched away by the restaurant across the street.
If this continues, it will probably have to close down again.
It's only been a few days, and Madam Gu has to feel the pain of losing so much money.
"I think the master has finally done a good thing this time," Liang He held the cup and smiled particularly happily.
"That day, I felt very upset that your uncle rented out such a good location, but I didn't expect the other party to be so helpful and almost ruined Gu Jin's restaurant. It's really gratifying."
"Aunt," He Xiaoyu gently pulled the corner of her clothes, "I think it's not good for Tianle Restaurant to do this. They have offended people. If they are to be repaid later, can they bear the wrath of the Censor?
Besides, this time my uncle is implicated, should we remind him?"
"You silly girl," Liang He put the cup on the table, grabbed her hand and patted it, "If someone dares to argue like this, he must have the confidence.
Although the noble families here have no one in the court, they are like local princes in places like this.
If they want to make trouble, even your uncle will have to give in.
Gu Wenheng has just arrived and has no confidence to fight back. Just wait and see. The restaurant might fail. Gu Jinshi, the dumb one, will have to eat the loss. "
"But the shop..."
"Your uncle only rents out the shop, can he control how they do business?
You don't have to worry about it here, just worry about your marriage. I have seen so many families for you recently, is there any suitable one?"
He Xiaoyu smiled shyly, "Aunt, before I came here, my parents said that everything is up to you."
Liang He said, "Of course, aunt wishes you well, but these days, the people you see are all from official families, and I prefer you to marry into an aristocratic family.
These officials may be short-lived, but the real century-old families have their own confidence. If you can really marry into one, you won’t have to worry about your life. "
He Xiaoyu, "Aunt..." I have observed them these days and found that they are not from those noble families. What does aunt mean by this?
“The shop your uncle rented out this time was to the Wu family.
The Wu family is also one of the most influential families in the area. There are many descendants in this family, and they have made achievements in various places.
As for the Tianle Restaurant this time, although it is run by a side branch, I have met Wu Kun, who is a handsome man and a good money-maker with many businesses under his control.
Although such a person may not have any fame, he can be rich and noble for his whole life. "
He Xiaoyu immediately understood what Liang He meant. This was somewhat different from what she had thought before. Did her aunt want her to marry a businessman?
After all, I am a little young. I thought so in my heart and it showed on my face.
Liang He grabbed her hand and patted it gently, "Don't underestimate Wu Kun, although he is just a businessman, he has the support of a big tree, and ordinary people can't touch him.
What people pursue in their life is nothing more than long-lasting wealth and prosperity. Your aunt also hopes that you don’t have to worry about those material things throughout your life.
You see, I married your uncle just for a good reputation. The real difficulties inside are what you have seen after living here for so long.
Officials like them are only superficial, but have a lot of rules inside. "
Liang He said this with some disdain, "In fact, they are the ones who know the rules the least. They are all imitating the ways of those noble families, but they only learn the surface."
Thinking of what she had seen and heard when she visited those noble families before, Liang He persuaded her niece and said, "We dare not think about the direct lineage, but we will still give the side branch some face because of your uncle's relationship.
I was thinking of taking you to Tianle Restaurant for dinner tomorrow..."
He Xiaoyu understood what he had not yet said, and she resisted in her heart, but in the end she just remained silent.
&
The business of Renle Restaurant had been bustling for three consecutive days, but the expression on Wu Kun's face became more and more solemn.
He didn't even need to look at the account book to know that there was a large amount of money coming in, but so what? The more money he received, the more he would lose in the days to come.
Shopkeeper Huang said, "Master, if it really doesn't work, let's take down the red list outside first."
The bustling sounds in the lobby outside forced him to raise his voice.
Before the opening, if he had known there would be such a grand occasion, he would have definitely smiled, but this was completely different from what he imagined.
Everyone who comes here to eat has to pay a fee. If this continues, their restaurant won’t be able to survive for much longer.
Wu Kun stared at the opposite side. The red list of discounts was still posted there. If he took it down, he would have implicitly admitted defeat, and would have lost so badly that he would not even have the dignity to do so.
How could he swallow this humiliation when he suffered such a loss just after the first encounter? But he had to swallow this humiliation.
"Let someone take down the red list," Wu Kun said through gritting his teeth.
After getting the OK, Shopkeeper Huang heaved a sigh of relief and walked out without stopping. He decided to take down the red list as soon as possible before his boss changed his mind.
Wu Kun was sitting in a private room on the second floor, staring at the opposite side. He thought that all these people would rush to the opposite side, but he didn't expect that as soon as he took over the red list, the opposite side also took it down at the same time.
What else doesn't he understand? He has fallen into someone's trap.
When he thought about how he had struggled to hold on for the past few days and how he had lost so much money, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse.
The discount was suddenly gone, and those who came later were standing outside the store, feeling regretful and upset.
"Why did you tear down the red list?" The people standing outside said in a booing voice, "We came all the way to East City to show our support for you. You can't tear up the red list. We have to at least get some credit for it."
Shopkeeper Huang cursed inwardly, but had a friendly smile on his face, "I'm really sorry, everyone, the time for the red list discount has expired, you can wait for another opportunity to come back.
Everyone, if you want to eat, please come in, our drinks are worth a try."
“Without the discount, who would go in?
The price is about the same, so we might as well go to Tianfu Restaurant, there are at least a dozen rare dishes, I heard that there are dishes from all over the world. "I don't know if it's intentional to cause trouble, a few men stood at the door and started shouting.
"That's right. We went across the street for something new. I heard the taste is pretty good. Why don't you continue the discount? Otherwise, we'll leave."
Shopkeeper Huang: "..."
"I'm really sorry, everyone." Wu Kun was standing at the door of the store. "Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. You see, my side is full too. If you think it's appropriate, you can move to the opposite side."
