Chapter 61 You are in the business of killing people
Gu Qingshi heard from Sister Wang that Wang Dazhi had a fever when he was a child, but failed to seek medical treatment in time, so his brain was damaged.
Later, his IQ stopped at the age of four. A four-year-old child is already a little ignorant of food and clothing. At that time, his family lived in poverty. They were not well fed, clothed, or able to afford medical treatment, so his brain was damaged and Wang Dazhi was left with a psychological trauma of hunger.
He developed the habit of eating whatever he saw. As his life gradually got better, he ate more and more and got fatter. The adults knew that it was not good for him to eat like this, but they could not bear to refuse him.
On the second day after Gu’s Kitchen opened, Sister Wang brought Wang Dazhi by. Wang Dazhi smelled the fragrance and walked straight in. From then on, he thought about coming here to eat every day.
Sister Wang discovered that after Wang Dazhi ate the food at Gu’s Kitchen, he would be obedient and stop eating at will, so she obeyed him and came every day, no matter what the boss lady did outside.
"See you tomorrow. Don't eat when you go back home tonight." Gu Qingshi waved to Wang Dazhi and gave him a reminder.
"Yeah." Wang Dazhi nodded affirmatively. He was sensitive to people's good and evil. He knew that Gu Qingshi had no ill will towards him and was not afraid of her. And he didn't know if it was because Gu Qingshi had the space in her body, but he liked Gu Qingshi very much.
Wang Dazhi followed Sister Wang and looked back every few steps to wave goodbye to Gu Qingshi. When he went out and saw the proprietress, he immediately lowered his head and hid behind Sister Wang, not daring to look at her.
The proprietress glared at the mother and son, cursing and spitting at them twice.
She didn't expect that even after they had come to this point, someone would still come in to eat, and Gu Qingshi still didn't compromise.
Gu Qingshi looked at her with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes. He couldn't let her go on like this. He had to drive them away. After driving them away, Gu Qingshi's eyes brightened and he walked to the back of the room.
After a while, a dog rushed towards the proprietress who was still trying to disrupt her business. It was extremely ferocious and opened its mouth to bite. The proprietress was caught off guard and was frightened by the sudden appearance of the dog. She screamed and ran away. The dog chased her three miles away and she only escaped after running out of the county town.
This threat farce ended in farce. Gu Qingshi looked at the disappearing figure of the proprietress and snorted, "If you think you are a rogue, there is nothing I can do. What a joke! Even if you are a rogue, I still have a dog!"
It was finally quiet outside the restaurant, but the proprietress came the next day without giving up. As a result, the dog reappeared when she got close to it. She was chased for three miles again and almost got bitten.
"Bitch, Gu Qingshi, you bitch, you actually dared to let the dog bite me!" The proprietress was so angry that she almost died, but no matter how she scolded, she was afraid of the dog and finally did not dare to make trouble again.
The proprietress was furious. On the other side, Gu Qingshi was rewarding the big yellow dog for its great contribution.
The big yellow dog was actually just an ordinary stray dog. After Gu’s Kitchen opened, they would feed it some leftover food when they saw it.
As a result, after just two meals, the dog recognized Gu Qingshi as its master. Animals are very sensitive and like to eat space vegetables and get close to Gu Qingshi. I don’t know if it is naturally smart or because it ate some space vegetables, it is very smart and can even understand what she says.
Seeing its earthy yellow color, I casually called it "Da Huang" and it knew that was its name. It accepted the name and usually hid behind the wall for fear of disturbing the guests. No one knew that Gu's Kitchen had a dog.
When Gu Qingshi saw the scoundrel look of the proprietress, he immediately thought of Dahuang. He gave a casual order, and Dahuang carried it out perfectly. He had completely memorized the smell of the proprietress and would chase her away as soon as he saw her, with great ferocity.
"Well done, Rhubarb."
Gu Qingshi planned to sacrifice Da Huang if the boss lady came again, but it turned out that when the boss lady came again, it was not just the two of them, but also several bosses in the catering business in Mingchang County.
There aren't many restaurants in Mingchang County, and there are only a few major ones. Gu Qingshi's business is booming, which inevitably snatches away their customers and affects their business.
They came this time to "discuss" buying vegetables with Gu Qingshi. No one knew how they discussed it with the proprietress, but they sided with the proprietress and said that in order to avoid being forced to close the store, they had no choice but to buy her vegetables.
Although the words were not excessive at the beginning, it was probably because they felt that they had strength in numbers and were confident, and their attitude was different, and there was a sense of coercion, as if you had to agree even if you didn't agree.
With their support, the lady boss was very proud and said, "Gu Qingshi, you see, this is what everyone wants. You should think about your answer. Do you want to go against everyone?"
Bai Zhong's face changed and he was about to step forward to help, but was pulled back by Bai Yang.
They all knew that this was a difficult time, but Bai Yang believed in Gu Qingshi and she was sure she could get through it on her own.
This is how business works. Whether business is bad or too good, there will be difficulties. Gu Qingshi anticipated this, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
Gu Qingshi didn't look at the boss lady, nor did he respond to her words. He just answered the question of how they were forced to close down. "Although I've been very busy these days, I've also been observing. In fact, what you bosses said is exaggerated."
"Except for Boss Liang's restaurant which doesn't have any signature dishes and really doesn't have much business, the business of other restaurants is actually still okay. Although it's not as good as before, it's not so bad that they have to close down, because everyone has their own signature dish."
"For example, your braised beef, your donkey meat, and your steamed pork with rice flour." Gu Qingshi pointed to a few restaurants. "Every family has their own secret recipes and signature dishes. My signature dish is my dish. I have never thought of asking for your secret recipe, let alone stealing it. But you force me to sell my signature dish. Isn't this unreasonable?"
Everyone's expression changed and the atmosphere became cold.
"I also make money from this. My business is good now, but it's just because it's fresh. In the future, we will still eat beef and donkey meat as usual, and your business will still return."
"If I sell you my signature dishes, which are only enough to support my family's business, and your business gets better, what will happen to my family? You should think about me."
Gu Qingshi ignored the boss lady's attempt to interrupt her and continued, "You have been running the shop for many years. You should know that this is how business is. There are successes and failures, right?"
Seeing that even at this point, Gu Qingshi still refused to sell vegetables, and simply dismissed the matter with a few words, and what he said made a lot of sense that could not be refuted.
But they were unwilling to give up just like that, so they looked at each other and decided not to refute and directly used their trump card.
Without giving the boss's wife a chance to speak, a boss named Chen spoke up as a representative, "Boss Gu is right. This is indeed how we do business, but your business is different from ours."
Boss Chen's eyes were sharp as he looked directly at Gu Qingshi, "You have always claimed that eating your dishes is good for the body. I haven't asked you whether it is good or not, and I can't tell you, but based on our observations and investigations, your dishes are addictive."
"How can normal food make people addicted? Boss Gu, you added something you shouldn't have to the dishes to make people addicted and keep coming back, right? You're not running a restaurant business, you're running a murder business!"
