Chapter 120: Finding Trouble
In the end, the shop account was handed over to Liu Manyun.
Firstly, as the mistress of a wealthy family, she was very good at this. Secondly, they had too many things to do every day and had no time to sort out the accounts.
Professional matters should be done by professionals. Liu Manyun has been the housekeeper, managing the household well without any conflicts or mistakes, which is enough to prove her ability and character.
Liu Manyun will first collect all the money, settle the accounts and distribute the money every ten days. The money needed to purchase materials every day will be taken from the daily income and then recorded in the account.
Ye Jiayue, Lan Xin and others were very excited. After more than ten years, they had made some money again.
Although,
The current income is not even a fraction of what it was before.
However, these days won't last long.
soon……
In the days that followed, they entered a cycle.
Get up in the morning and fry the braised duck from the previous day - after breakfast, take the prepared ingredients to the city - after selling the braised ice jelly, go buy ingredients for the next day - go home to eat and rest, then wash and braise the pig's offal and other ingredients - after dinner, rub the ice jelly and take out the braised ingredients - rest - get up and start a new day.
Their business has always been good. Unlike other stores that are booming in the first few days after opening and then gradually become quiet, their business has always been good. Whether it is ice jelly or braised food, they have a group of loyal customers who check in on time every day.
Lu Yao knew that this was because of the hot weather in the summer. When the weather turned cooler, the ice jelly business would definitely be affected. As for braised food, perhaps there would be more opportunities for her to try.
Because Rongji's business is booming, the flow of people on that street has also increased, and the surrounding shops have benefited from it. Although these owners are envious and even a little jealous, they also hope that their business can continue to be prosperous so that their business will get better and better.
Money can move people's hearts, but not everyone can be so restrained. There are always some people who are thinking about things that do not belong to them.
That day, after seeing off the customers, Lu Yao and the others were cleaning up when a few people suddenly came in.
Mo Zhu saw the visitor and politely said, "Sorry, the store is sold out. Please come back tomorrow."
The leader glanced at him calmly and said, "I'm here to talk to you."
"Is there anything you need, sir?" Mo Zhu always served with a smile and never gave anyone any chance to find fault.
Beside the leader, a man who was obviously a subordinate stepped forward, his voice unyielding and impatient: "Where is your boss? Let him speak!"
Mo Zhu knew that the visitor had bad intentions, but he remained calm and smiled: "I'm sorry, sir, the shopkeeper has gone out for something. I don't know what you want to talk to our shopkeeper about. I will help you convey it."
"You bastard, don't you understand what I'm saying? If you don't understand, get out of here!"
The younger brother stretched out his hand to pull Mo Zhu aside and went to the back to find someone. Mo Zhu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He took a step back to avoid the other person's hand. At the same time, he flashed in front of the other person to block his way.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be a martial artist. No wonder you're so ungrateful," the younger brother rolled up his sleeves, "I want to see how good you are."
As he said that, he didn't care whether this was in someone else's shop or whether it would cause any consequences. He just swung his fist and hit Mo Zhu on the head.
Seeing his younger brother taking action, the "boss" sitting next to him didn't have the slightest intention of trying to dissuade him. He calmly watched everything that was happening in front of him, with a slight smile on his lips.
If these people don't give them face, then they don't have to be polite.
The other party's mediocre kung fu is naturally no match for Mo Zhu, but they are now open for business, so they cannot act casually and leave room for those who have ulterior motives.
So he dodged left and right, choosing to avoid it directly, and only tried to rescue the other party when he was about to destroy things in the store.
This behavior further angered the other party, who kicked the table, trying to overturn it. If he succeeded, the tables and benches next to it would also be affected.
Mo Zhu's face darkened and he was about to reach out to grab the person, but Rong Bingwu, who appeared out of nowhere, kicked his younger brother in the leg.
This kick was real.
I saw the little brother cry out in pain, and then he fell to the ground with a "bang".
When a younger brother is bullied, as the eldest brother, he cannot just sit there and do nothing.
The man slammed his hand on the table and said, "Stop! Do you still have any sense of law?" He glared at Rong Bingwu and spoke first, "What do you want to do?"
Rong Bingwu sneered: "What do you want to do? That depends on what you want to do, the customer."
The man looked Rong Bingwu up and down, recognizing him as the owner of this shop. He controlled his emotions and softened his tone a little, "I just wanted to discuss something with the owner, but you waiter kept making excuses and even hit me. I think your shop is really hidden." He also sneered, "If you didn't know, you would think you were in a shady shop."
Rong Bingwu nodded: "As a small business, we must be cautious."
The implication is that whoever starts the fight is the cheap one, and they won't be afraid if someone wants to cause trouble.
The man sneered: "I hope you can still be so tough in the future."
Rong Bingwu is a man who has seen many storms and waves, so how could he be scared by such a small threat?
He glanced at the man calmly, "We abide by the law, behave ourselves, and do business honestly. Why should we be afraid?" His gaze fell on the younger brother who was still lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and he said meaningfully, "If you don't show some strength, I'm afraid this business won't be able to continue."
Harmony brings wealth, but it also depends on who you are dealing with.
Those with ulterior motives still want to be treated with courtesy? They can do it, but do these people deserve it? Maybe they think they are easy to bully.
The man was choked, and did not argue with the other party anymore. Instead, he smiled and said, "The shopkeeper is really amazing."
Rong Bingwu clasped his fists and said, "The guests are no less impressive."
Who doesn’t have a little temper?
The man looked kind on the outside, but he was actually a scoundrel in his heart, wanting to cut the person into pieces.
Fortunately, he still remembered his purpose: "I came here today mainly to discuss a business deal with the shopkeeper."
"Sir, please speak."
Rong Bingwu didn't think that these people could do any business, but since they were guests, and their attitude was no longer tit-for-tat and they were no longer deliberately looking for trouble, he couldn't be tough anymore.
"Our boss thinks Rongji's products have great potential and wants to promote them and bring them to other places." The man said directly without any hesitation.
This might make the person in question feel uncomfortable, but so what? If they have a strong hand, they won't have to worry about others trying to trip them up.
If your fists aren't strong enough, yet you still want others to respect you, what good are you dreaming of?!
Rong Bingwu understood what they were saying. It was nothing more than their master taking a fancy to Rong Ji's things and wanting to take them for himself. Since they had no money and no power, why didn't they rush to offer them themselves? If they didn't cooperate honestly, they wouldn't blame them for using violence.
What kind of interruptions have you not seen in Rong Bingwu's life? He couldn't help laughing. "I'm afraid you and your master will be disappointed," he said. "We just want to make a little money to make a living. We don't have such big ambitions."
The man raised his eyebrows: "Boss, do you mean you don't agree?"
Rong Bingwu shook his head: "This is a simple shop, a small business, and we can't make much money in a day. It's not worth it for customers to care about it so much."
These are the hearts of the children in his family, and he can't let these people take them away with just a few words.
The man thought he was waiting for a good price and gritted his teeth: "What are your conditions?"
Humph, if these people weren't useful, why would we give them a chance to speak?
As for the secret matters like worrying about not being able to win, or being embarrassed because of failing the job, he would never tell them.
Rong Bingwu shook his head: "This is the craft that our family relies on for survival. Please forgive us, sir."
"Don't push your luck!" The man felt that his guess was correct. This person just wanted to raise the price.
It turns out that businessmen are all profit-driven and have no bottom line.
Rong Bingwu said seriously, "Thank you to our customers and the owner for your love and respect. We will continue to work hard to introduce more popular products."
The man knew that Rong Bingwu was pretending to be stupid and avoiding the subject. He sneered, "Have you thought it through, boss?"
Rong Bingwu nodded and answered readily: "Of course."
Even fools know how to choose.
The man's teeth creaked. "We come here with sincerity. Please don't act on impulse."
Being noticed by the master is such a great opportunity, but this Xiren really has no vision and is destined to stay at the bottom of society all his life.
Thinking of this, he continued, "Once the shopkeeper hears the benefits offered by the master, he will probably not be so stubborn."
Without waiting for the other party to react, he directly named a price, and finally said with a look of superiority: "You may not be able to earn this much money in your lifetime."
Even in this situation, you are still not satisfied. You are indeed from the countryside.
Rong Bingwu remained unmoved. Since he didn't want to, he didn't want to waste any more words and simply sent him away: "The shop has closed. If you want to buy something, please leave tomorrow. If you are worried about coming too late and not being able to buy it, Rong Ji also offers a reservation service. All you need to do is become a Rong Ji VIP member and pay in advance, and you can enjoy the privilege of reserving your favorite items. No matter how early or late you come, we will help you keep them."
The man didn't come here today to listen to these people's nonsense. He waved his hand to interrupt: "If the shopkeeper has anything to say, please speak to my master in person."
He didn't expect that he would be able to get things done smoothly today. As the saying goes, courtesy comes before force. Next time, don't blame him.
Rong Bingwu smiled and didn't care. He was about to send the person out when he heard a commotion behind him. He listened for a while and his face changed drastically.
He quickly clasped his fists towards the group of people who were looking for trouble. "Sorry, we're in a hurry to see the county magistrate, so I won't say much," he said. "It's rare to meet a brother who shares the same ideals and aspirations. If the time and place weren't wrong, I would definitely prepare a feast and open the bed for you."
"Next time, when I'm free, I'll prepare a delicious meal for you. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."
Rong Bingwu continued talking and sent the guest away.
The man was furious and had planned on how to make things worse for these people when he got back, but he never expected the other party to do something like this.
Is this Rong Ji really related to the county magistrate?
According to their observations and investigations over the past few days, this family has lived in Fushan Village for more than ten years, and some of them were exiled here not long ago. It is said that they are all relatives.
These people came to Xikang County and were originally from the lowest class of society, but they lived better than many local people. This made him think deeply.
No matter whether the other party was bluffing or something else, he had to be cautious. If he caused trouble for his master, his good days would be over.
