Chapter 724 Zhong Yong
Li Hezhou, Manager Yu and others only stood there for a while while the firecrackers were set off, and soon said goodbye and left.
However, when they left, each of them took a small bamboo basket prepared by Shen Shen, which contained the three best-selling pastries of Shen Ji.
Li Junxin raised the basket in his hand to his face and asked Li Hezhou, "Tell me, is there anything else about you and the Shen family that I don't know?"
Li Hezhou's expression changed slightly, and he quickly made a joke: "Hey, Dad, didn't I tell you that it was Miss Shen Liu who thought highly of me, so she allowed our Li family to join the Hubei Army's caravan. And the seasonings she provided for our family, Dad, didn't you see them? They are good things that are not available outside, and there is also..."
He recounted in detail all the business matters between Shen Qingqian and him, without mentioning Shen Qingman at all.
Li Junxin looked at him doubtfully, "There's really nothing else."
"Well, what could be the problem? You don't know what your son's reputation was in the capital before. If he hadn't been exiled, I don't think he would ever look down on me in his life." Li Hezhou said to himself without blinking.
He had to constantly remind his father what kind of person he was in the past so that his parents would not think that Shen Qingman was not worthy of him.
But to be honest, given the Shen family's tradition, if they had not suffered a great disaster and been exiled, they would never have considered marrying Shen Qingman to someone like him.
Li Junxin thought about it and it was true. The Shen family's status was something he could never have imagined in the past. It was not easy for him to work with them now.
But if Master Shen were alive, would he allow the younger generation of the Shen family to go into business?
The status of merchants in Dajin was very low, otherwise Li Junxin would not have been so cruel as to offer so many benefits just to get close to Li Junyi.
Li Hezhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Junxin had no doubts.
Now is not the time to let them know that they like Shen Qingman. After a while, when both sides have more contact, Li Junxin will have some understanding of Shen Qingman. If he knows then, he probably won't object too strongly.
Of course, Li Hezhou felt that the safest thing to do was to wait six years before letting them know. That way, he would hardly have to do anything, and his parents would be able to solve all the problems.
Some people were plotting to kidnap their wives, while others were sitting on the second floor of a teahouse opposite Shen's Pastry Shop, sneering at the people below who were happily drinking mung bean soup.
"It's just a small pastry shop. I don't know how long it can stay open if it's so ostentatious."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard, about forty years old. He looked quite decent, but his eyes were full of calculations, which made people not want to get close to him.
Across from him sat a man in his fifties, half of his hair already white. Upon hearing this, he laughed and said, "Brother Zhong, what are you doing managing these small shops? I'm afraid their entire families combined can't even match your welcoming abilities."
It turned out that the people who spoke were Zhong Yong and Wang Qiang, the vice president of the Hubei Northern Chamber of Commerce.
"Having said that, if someone cannot be used by me, keeping him will only make me an enemy." Zhong Yong's eyes were fixed on the downstairs.
When Shen Qingning's pastries were praised by people in Ebei City, Zhong Yong sent people to contact Shen Qingning and her sister privately, but they already had a cooperative relationship with Li Hezhou, so of course they would not agree to go to Yingkelai to sell pastries.
Zhong Yong thought this was just a small matter at first, and since he didn't bring anyone here, he didn't pursue it.
But who would have thought that Shen Qingning's pastry business would become more and more popular, and there were few people in the entire Ebei City who had not eaten the pastries she made.
At this time, if Zhong Yong wants to poach people again, he will have to think twice.
Just when he made up his mind to contact Shen Qingning again, the Shen family actually opened their own pastry shop.
