Chapter 225 Liu Daheng
The man shook his head and focused on observing the situation outside.
Jiang Mi was urging everyone to drink. She had brought peach blossom wine and daughter's red wine. Most people came for the peach blossom wine, but Jiang Family Restaurant only had a limited quantity of peach blossom wine each day. Once it was gone, it was gone. If you came late, you could only eat some side dishes.
"Hey shopkeeper, your peach blossom wine is so delicious, why don't you sell more? You can make more money if you sell more. I'm too late, there's no wine left."
Jiang Mi smiled and said, "Guest, it's not that we're stingy or unwilling to sell, but the process of making this peach blossom wine is very complicated. We have to grind it step by step to make it taste good. We've just opened and we don't have enough manpower yet. Don't worry, we will produce more every day in the future."
After hearing Jiang Mi's words, everyone liked peach blossom wine even more, and they were willing to accept the slightly higher price.
Just then, a bearded man entered from outside the door and said in a gruff voice, "What good wine haven't I tried? Bring it here for me to have a taste."
Seeing that the people were coming aggressively and didn't seem like good people, the waiter glanced at Jiang Mi for a signal. When Jiang Mi nodded, the waiter hurried over.
"Please have a seat, esteemed guests. I'm so sorry, but our peach blossom wine is sold out. However, we do have some fine daughter's red wine. Would you like to try some?"
The bearded man slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Is this how you serve your guests? You're utterly arrogant! Didn't you hear what I said? I want peach blossom wine, not some damn Daughter's Red wine. If you can't understand human language, then get someone else who can."
Then, as if only then noticing Jiang Mi, the bearded man pointed at her and said, "You're the one. You're quite pretty, little wench. You're a rare beauty. Come and serve your master!"
The bearded man's eyes seemed glued to Jiang Mi. He had never seen such a stunning woman in the entire surrounding area. She was truly a rare sight. He had previously wanted to teach this woman a lesson, but now he only needed to win her over and make her his concubine so she could serve him.
Everyone around was watching Jiang Mi's reaction. The people from Linshui County naturally recognized her as the head manager of Liuxiang Pavilion, so they all remained silent and just watched quietly.
The restaurant staff all showed angry expressions. In all this time, Jiang Mi had never encountered a more shameless and despicable person than this bearded man. Zhang Min'en even stepped forward, seemingly to condemn the bearded man.
Jiang Mi stopped him in time. She was angry, of course, but she could remain calm and see what he was up to first.
"You? With your kidney deficiency-like appearance, you shouldn't be trying to harm women. Your eyes are bruised, you walk weakly, and do you often feel dizzy, weak, or even nauseous?"
The bearded man was stunned for a moment. He had clearly come to humiliate this woman, but instead of doing what he wanted, she was treating his illness.
"You're the one who's sick! Who are you calling a bitch? You filthy woman, just wait till I get my hands on you!"
Jiang Mi sneered, "So you know you're sick, huh? Looks like you're not so stupid after all. Coming to my place to cause trouble, then I'll naturally have to treat you well."
The bearded man sneered, "Do you know who I am? You? Don't even mention a little girl like you. Even if your whole family came, they wouldn't be a match for me. Don't forget, this is Linshui County, my territory, not yours!"
Jiang Mi sneered: "What's wrong? Are you the local tyrant? If I didn't know better, I'd think you were the emperor. You have quite the nerve. If you're so capable, why don't you go to the capital and ask that person in the palace to give you their seat?"
The bearded man was stunned by what Jiang Mi said. Although this place was far from the emperor's reach, no one dared to bring up the emperor everywhere unless that person had a death wish.
"You...you actually spoke to the Emperor like that? Aren't you afraid that if this is overheard, it will reach the Emperor's ears?"
Seeing how scared he was, Jiang Mi said disdainfully, "Are you that scared? Judging from how you were just now, I thought you were fearless. This is not a place for you to throw a tantrum. Don't disturb my guest, and get lost."
At this moment, a waiter recruited from Linshui County leaned behind Jiang Mi and whispered, "Young master, this is the head manager of Liuxiang Pavilion across the street. He's very ruthless. You'd better not argue with him."
When the bearded man heard someone call out his name, he stroked his beard smugly. No one had heard of him yet, so he wasn't afraid. After all, this was Linshui County, and many people knew him, Liu Daheng.
"Oh? Is that so? So you're the manager of Liuxiang Pavilion across the street? I was wondering why anyone would come looking for trouble for no reason. Are you afraid that I'll open a restaurant here and steal your business? So you hired someone to give me a hard time the other day, and now you've come to cause trouble in person. Are you that afraid of me?"
Jiang Mi's reaction was completely unexpected by Liu Daheng. People who had heard his name before were either afraid or fawning over him, but Jiang Mi had actually revealed everything, putting him in a very passive position.
"Nonsense! Do you think I'd be afraid of you? My Liuxiang Pavilion has been operating in Linshui County for so many years, and I have no rivals. Do you think I'd take a little woman like you seriously? Nonsense! I'm only here to give you face. I advise you to pack your bags and go back to your Shushan County as soon as possible. Linshui County isn't a place where you can get by easily. If you want to survive here, even if you manage to stay alive, you'll be skinned alive!"
Jiang Mi snorted coldly: "Threatening me? I'm not afraid of being threatened. You know best why your Liuxiang Pavilion can stay open while others keep going out of business. You'll get your comeuppance for bullying others! Besides, your Liuxiang Pavilion is really interesting. You only get a good look if you spend more money. Those who don't have money have to put up with your attitude and be treated badly when they eat there. You're really domineering. You're so shameless in making money!"
Liu Daheng's expression changed: "What nonsense are you talking about? They came of their own free will. Did we force them to come and eat? It's just that they chose to come. It can only be said that the food at Liuxiang Pavilion is too delicious. Are you going to blame us? Those who pay are the bosses. Whoever spends more money, we smile more. What's the problem? Don't you like customers who spend a lot of money here?"
Jiang Mi certainly likes it, but not in this way.
"I may like it, but I treat everyone the same, regardless of whether they spend money here or not, with the same respect."
