Chapter 116 Gu Qingshi, You Are Playing Tricks on Me
After Gu Qingshi heard about Brother Qian, he met Brother Qian in person the next day.
"Hello, Brother Qian. I'm Gu Qingshi, the owner of this store. I'm sorry, but I really don't sell this dish."
"I don't know how to do business, I just like the food very much, I want to take it back and cook it myself, and give it to the two old people to eat. My parents are just like me, they only want one bite to eat in their lives, and they are also good cooks, so please help me, boss."
He felt that with his cooking skills, he could make the most delicious dishes, and his family was not short of money, so he just wanted to achieve his goal.
"I'm really sorry. If you like to eat and don't trust our chef, we can lend you the kitchen and you can cook it yourself. But sorry, we don't sell vegetables."
Gu Qingshi didn't intend to open this door.
Brother Qian didn't expect that even after giving so much money, Gu Qingshi was still unmoved. He wanted to say something but swallowed it back. Finally, he shook his head in disappointment and said, "Then let me borrow the kitchen."
Bai Yang kept a close eye on him to prevent him from making trouble, but Brother Qian just cooked normally and did not make any trouble. He even brought his own seasonings and ingredients.
It’s true that the food they made was better than Bai Yang’s, but Gu Qingshi didn’t take it seriously, because the ingredients and supplements that Brother Qian brought were very precious, and doing business with them was not the same.
Brother Qian enjoyed a delicious meal by himself and then left. Gu Qingshi thought the matter was over, but she didn't expect that the next day, when Gu Qingshi went out to "buy groceries", she found someone following her.
Gu Qingshi's heart sank. The situation she had been most worried about finally happened. Fortunately, she was not unprepared.
Gu Qingshi seemed not to notice that he was being followed, and went to the market near the county town to "buy vegetables" as usual, and then left with a cart of vegetables.
After Gu Qingshi left, the short man who followed Gu Qingshi went in and took a look around before returning to the county town.
At noon, Brother Qian, who said he would leave Mingchang County, appeared in the vegetable market under the leadership of the little man. He looked at the old lady and said, "Hello, grandma. My last name is Qian. I run a restaurant in the city. I want to discuss a business deal with you."
Seeing that the old lady didn't react, Brother Qian didn't care and spoke up, "I'll raise the price. No matter how much Mr. Gu from Gu's Kitchen gives you, I will unconditionally pay three times the price to buy your vegetables. I have only one request. From now on, I will buy your vegetables and you can't sell them to Gu's Kitchen anymore. What do you think?"
The old lady still didn't answer, and Brother Qian was not surprised. "I'll go out and check the vegetables. You think about it carefully. I just want to say one thing. Don't be mean to Qian. You deserve to make more money if you have the ability to grow such delicious vegetables."
Brother Qian went out of the house and went to see the vegetable garden in front of the yard. The vegetables in the garden were growing very well and looked pleasing to the eye. Just as Brother Qian was about to squat down to take a look, he saw the expression of the little man behind him who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to ask me?"
The little guy looked at him and shook his head, not daring to say anything more. Brother Qian was not surprised. "You want to say that my approach is different from what I said? We agreed to just buy some vegetables, but now you want to cut off her business directly, right?"
The little man hesitated and nodded a little. He was indeed a little surprised.
"You can't blame me for this. I did say so and planned to do so before. I was sincere, but she didn't appreciate it, so I had to resort to some tricks."
Brother Qian smiled and said, "I acted like a gentleman first, but she didn't agree. Then I can only act like a villain. If I act like a gentleman first and then a villain, she won't blame me. Anyway, this business will just be wasted in her hands. What future can a small county have? It's better to leave it to me. I will run this business and make it bigger and stronger."
"As for whether her restaurant can continue to operate without this dish, it all depends on her ability."
The little guy nodded, and just as Brother Qian was about to continue looking at the vegetables, he heard voices coming from inside the house.
Brother Qian didn't bother to look at it and hurried back home, "Grandma, what have you thought about it?"
Compared to ignoring him just now, the old lady actually looked at him this time, but still didn't say anything. Brother Qian smiled.
"Grandma, are you not satisfied with the price? If you think it's not enough, we can talk about it."
The old lady still didn't respond, but someone else did, "Brother Qian, it's useless to talk to the old lady. She can't hear, and she can't decide on the dish."
Brother Qian turned around and saw Gu Qingshi. When he saw Gu Qingshi, Brother Qian's face looked a little ugly, but he was not too surprised. "What does Boss Gu mean by this? Why can't she make the decision?"
Gu Qingshi shrugged and said, "Because I actually grew these vegetables myself." So she is the boss.
Brother Qian's expression finally changed, "You... you're kidding me!"
"I'm not kidding you. You followed me on your own. I never said from the beginning to the end that the vegetables were not grown by me."
Gu Qingshi sat down leisurely and asked Brother Qian to sit down in a good-natured manner, "Brother Qian, you sit down too."
But at this moment, Brother Qian was in no mood to sit still. He just felt extremely ashamed. His confidence in winning just now turned into anger and humiliation. "Boss Gu is very good at tricking people."
"Not as good as Brother Qian." Gu Qingshi responded neither softly nor harshly.
"I'll remember this, Gu Qingshi." Brother Qian said threateningly.
"I'll remember you too." Gu Qingshi's eyes were cold and he was not afraid at all.
"Okay, Gu Qingshi, you're fine!" Brother Qian said this and left angrily with the little guy.
"No match for Boss Qian." Gu Qingshi looked at his back and said, "A reminder, next time you come to someone else's vegetable garden, be prepared to be caught by the police."
This was a threat, but also a mockery of him being a thief. Brother Qian had originally not taken Gu Qingshi seriously, but now he realized that he had underestimated him.
"Drive, let's go!" After getting in the car, Brother Qian's face turned pale and he kicked the seat hard.
Watching them leave, Gu Qingshi snorted. She couldn't stand people like that the most. They acted one way in front of others and another behind their backs. Fortunately, she had made preparations just in case.
All of Gu Qingshi's vegetables were grown in the space, which was equivalent to creating vegetables out of thin air. This was definitely not possible, so Gu Qingshi spent time looking for a place where he could hide the truth.
Just then, Gu Qingshi met a lost old lady. The old lady was old and hard of hearing. Her words were unclear and no one could understand her. Fortunately, Gu Qingshi knew a little sign language and sent the old lady back.
The old grandmother was widowed early in her life and raised her son alone. As a result, her son and daughter-in-law passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind only a grandson. The old grandmother raised her grandson alone. The two have a very good relationship and the grandson is successful. He has a job and a house in the city.
However, he had to go to work during the day and did not have time to take care of his grandmother all the time. He wanted to move his grandmother to his house in the city, but the grandmother only recognized this place and he was often unable to take care of her.
The old lady makes a living by growing vegetables. She feels like she has lost her soul if she doesn't grow vegetables. Gu Qingshi visits the old lady every day under the pretext of harvesting vegetables and uses this place as a place to buy vegetables.
She had wanted to buy this place and grow vegetables there before, but she never had the time to do it. This time, after being followed, she made up her mind to buy it with her grandson and solve the problem at its root.
