Chapter 302 Zhang's Fish Pond Was Poisoned

When Wei Qiang was an apprentice, he worked himself to death every day, with a lot of things waiting to be done, and no salary.

Now he opened a pickled fish restaurant with his cousin. Although there are not many customers, because the store is not far from Lu's pickled fish restaurant, customers who can't queue up at Lu's will choose to eat fish in the nearby restaurant, and they have a good income every day.

At first, Wei Qiang was still very satisfied.

But sometimes people are always greedy.

Looking at Lu's pickled fish restaurant, there are endless customers coming in and out every day, and there are only a few tables of people in his own store every day, Wei Qiang felt a big gap in his heart.

When Zhong Chongyang came to the store, Wei Qiang complained to him.

"Cousin, is it because your colleague sent us bad fish that the business is so bad?"

Zhong Chongyang said, "Our store has just opened, and it's good to have customers coming. You can't get fat in one bite, so take your time. The fish was delivered this morning, and I saw it. It was alive and kicking, very fresh, no problem."

A few days later, Wei Qiang complained to Zhong Chongyang about the bad business again.

Zhong Chongyang invested the capital and also hoped that the restaurant would do well.

After checking the store for a week, he saw Wei Qiang's mother, his aunt, sitting at the dining table eating melon seeds. Zhong Chongyang

said, "Let's hire a younger waiter for the store."

Wei's mother objected on the spot, "If you hire someone, you have to pay them a salary. We haven't made any money yet, so we should save as much as possible."

Zhong Chongyang said, "Hiring a young girl as a waiter is to improve the store's image and attract business."

Wei's mother was unhappy, "I work for you for free, and you still complain about my age."

Zhong Chongyang explained, "Aunt, that's not what I meant. Since I opened a store, of course I want the store to do well and make more money."

Wei's mother said, "You only paid half of the money. The store is run by mother and me. I'll give you half of the profits. , you don't need to worry so much."

Hearing what the aunt said, Zhong Chongyang's face turned cold: "I paid the money, so I have a say in the store. Do you think that the restaurant is already open and you don't need me anymore?

Let me tell you, to open a good restaurant, you need not only the chef's skills, but also the management skills.

Without my advice to Qiangzi, would he have thought of opening a restaurant?"

Wei Qiang saw that Zhong Chongyang was angry, and hurried over and said: "Cousin, my mother is uneducated and speaks bluntly, you know, she has no other intentions, just wants to save some money,

don't worry, I will hire a young waiter tomorrow."

...

Zhang Baogen always delivers fish on time.

But on this day, he was an hour late.

This has never happened before.

Master Zhu asked him why he was late today.

In the middle of winter, Zhang Baogen wiped the sweat from his head.

"My fish pond was drugged, and all the fish turned upside down. I bought these fish from someone else, and you can use them today."

Master Zhu was worried, "Does that mean you can't deliver fish to our store in the future?"

Zhang Baogen said, "Master Zhu, don't worry, I have another fish pond somewhere else, but the fish in it haven't grown up yet, so I really can't deliver fish to other stores, but I will buy fish from other people and deliver them to your store."

Zhang Baogen's price for Lu's pickled fish shop was lower than the market price. Now he has to buy fish from other people's fish ponds at a high price and sell them to Lu at a low price, which is a loss-making transaction.

In doing business, both parties must make money to last long.

Zhang Baogen's fish pond has no usable fish now. Expecting him to keep buying fish at high prices and sending them to him is definitely not a long-term solution. Master Zhu quickly asked Xiao Li to find Shen Jiale.

...

Cai Yumei went to Shen Jiale to apologize for this matter and promised that his wife would carefully select good fish and would not delay Shen Jiale's business.

Shen Jiale said: "Don't buy fish at high prices and send them to you. You will also suffer a great loss. First find out who poisoned the fish pond and be more careful about the fish pond in the future.

Our store will buy fish from the market first, and when the fish in your fish pond grow up, we will use your fish."

Cai Yumei was relieved to hear that Shen Jiale would still use their fish in the future.

After returning home, she discussed with Zhang Baogen and decided to call the police and let the police station investigate.

...

Zhong Chongyang heard at school that Cai Yumei's fish pond had been poisoned. His first concern was that Zhang Baogen could no longer supply fish to Wei Qiang's restaurant, which would affect the restaurant's business, so he immediately went to find Cai Yumei.

Cai Yumei said, "Your cousin doesn't use our fish, so how could it affect his restaurant's business?"

"What? Hasn't our restaurant always used your fish?"

Cai Yumei said, "Since you didn't go to the restaurant this morning, your cousin has stopped using our fish."

Zhong Chongyang was worried that the taste of the pickled fish would change greatly if the fish was changed, so he went to find Wei Qiang.

...

When Zhong Chongyang went there, it was lunchtime.

Other people's restaurants were busy, but he saw Wei Qiang sitting at the door of the restaurant.

"Qiangzi, why are you sitting here?"

Wei Qiang said unhappily, "If not here, where else can I sit? There are no guests coming to eat."

Zhong Chongyang questioned, "Why don't you use the fish from Zhang Baogen's house? There were guests coming before, but now there is no one. Is this the result you want?"

Wei Qiang sighed and said, "If I had known, I would not have changed. But Zhang Baogen is too much. He sent big fish to the Lu family and small fish to the The fish I gave were all small, how could I not change them? "

Zhong Chongyang said, "I bought smaller fish to save some money, they taste just as delicious, why didn't you tell me before you changed?"

Wei Qiang said impatiently, "It's already like this, even if I want to use Zhang Baogen's fish now, he has no fish to provide us, their fish are all gone. Now everyone buys fish from the market, still on the same starting line."

"You don't use their fish anymore, how do you know their fish are gone?"

Wei Qiang said guiltily, "I heard it from others."

Zhong Chongyang looked at Wei Qiang suspiciously, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Wei Qiang's eyes dodged, and he pulled Zhong Chongyang in: "Cousin, you are educated, so help me think about how to get customers to come to eat fish."

Zhong Chongyang saw that he changed the subject, and felt that there must be a problem, so he asked: "If you have something to say, you'd better tell me clearly, otherwise, when the situation gets serious, I won't help you clean up the mess."

Wei Qiang insisted that there was no.
