Chapter 223 Drinks (2)
It was already afternoon, past dinner time, but there were still two tables of guests drinking in Tianxiang Tower, and the sound of a woman's laughter could be heard from the green gauze cabinet on the street.
The clerk couldn't help but look behind the screen cabinet, but he was stopped after just two glances: "Who are you?"
Before he even entered the door, he was discovered by Sun Wencheng who was sitting next to him resting.
The waiter was stunned for a moment when he saw that he was stopped by a man wearing moon-white clothes, a red silk waist, with a slender figure and handsome appearance. It turned out that Tianxiang Tower really employed handsome men.
The rumor in the city is that Tianxianglou is a place where men flaunt their sexuality.
It’s just that although these handsome men are good-looking, they don’t have any fatness, unlike those in the city’s mansions.
Seeing the guy staring at him in a daze, Sun Wencheng couldn't help but raise his hand and slap him: "I'm asking you a question, what are you looking at!"
Sun Wencheng felt a little proud when being stared at by the girls, but when being stared at by such a disgusting man, he would slap him.
"Ah! Thank you for your hard work, young man. I'm here to see Manager Song!" The waiter was awakened by a slap and quickly responded.
Seeing that he had something important to do, Su Wencheng stopped making things difficult for him: "Come in with me, and don't look around."
The clerk nodded hurriedly, but he couldn't help but glance into the green gauze cabinet. However, he could only see three or four figures and nothing else, which made him feel itchy.
Sun Wencheng brought the man directly to Lin Tao: "Captain Lin, this man wants to see Miss Song."
After a cup of tea, the waiter walked out of Tianxiang Tower and trotted back to Jinxi Tower. As soon as he entered the door, he ran into the backyard without caring about the sweat pouring down his face.
"What? That military girl isn't here!"
Chen Leyan's face was gloomy. He didn't know whether Song Liyun was avoiding him or was really not in Tianxiang Tower.
But the person hasn't come yet, so I can't show my weakness now.
Huang Changsheng next to him took a sip of the tea and smacked his lips, feeling that it had no salt and no taste.
He put the teacup aside. He was not interested in this way of drinking tea that came from Tianxiang Tower.
Liao Fu looked at Shen Leyan anxiously. He had finally persuaded the two restaurants to help him drink the alcohol, so he hoped nothing would happen again.
"Chairman Shen, what about my wine?" Liao Fu asked.
Chen Leyan pondered for a moment before saying, "Since Manager Song is not at Tianxianglou, I can't force you. It's just that prices have risen this month and business is slow, so I'll help you sell ten jars of wine in my shop."
He thought it would be okay to stop selling the wine and beverages he was currently selling and help Liao Fu sell ten jars of wine.
On the other side, Huang Changsheng also said: "Since we are old acquaintances, I will also help you sell ten jars. Hey, Brother Liao, don't worry, as long as the war stops, I will cover all your drinks."
Liao Fu was furious: "You only want ten jars, but Tianxianglou ordered a hundred jars from me before. How can you expect me to sell them? You are kidding me!"
Without Tianxianglou, these two restaurants are still well-known in Qili County, but they only sold ten jars for themselves.
He also said that he would take care of everything once the war stops. He is just making a fool of himself.
As for the war, there are Di Lu people in Qing'an Prefecture, there is no war in Pingyang Prefecture, and Qili County is 1,800 miles away, so how could it be involved in the war?
Hearing him being so ungrateful, Shen Leyan's face darkened immediately: "Mr. Liao, you can't say that. You are also an old businessman. You should know that every restaurant has a fixed winery. When did you say that you would cover all your wine?
If I sell all your wine with just a few words, what will happen to the winery that I signed the contract with?"
Huang Changsheng also said, "Brother Liao, don't worry. One hundred jars of wine only cost one hundred taels of silver. You are a wealthy family and you can afford it.
Save the wine first. It's hot now and people in the city are still eating sour plum soup. Who would drink strong liquor at this time?
It's just the off-season. Just wait another two months and when winter comes, your wine will naturally have no problems selling.
Even if you don't drink the wine, it's still there.
Alas! You are still better than us! Seeing the price of meat rising every day, the price of the prepared dishes cannot keep up with the price increase every day, and we are still selling at a loss every day! "
The price of pork and mutton in Qili County has indeed been rising these days. Although it is not a loss as Huang Changsheng said, it has also greatly reduced profits.
Liao Fu knew that he had been cheated. He only sold twenty jars of wine in one trip, but what would he do next month?
My winery produces at least a hundred jars of wine every month, and just by retailing a pot or two, I can sell enough for a whole year.
What should I do? What should I do? The only way now is to get the order back from Tianxianglou.
Think about how Tianxianglou is doing so well now, with Yuzhilan shipping cartloads of wine to Tianxianglou, making so many wineries jealous.
well!
Why was I so stupid at that time, believing what Huang Changsheng and the others said that Tianxianglou had no food and no chefs, and could not be opened?
After leaving Jingxi Tower, Liao Fu wanted to go to Tianxiang Tower, but stopped.
Just now, Shen Leyan had asked someone to invite the female manager, but she replied that she was not there.
He didn't even give the kitchen manager any face, so how could he have the face to be rejected for the order?
Even if you deliver it to someone now, they will still be bullied.
He thought about it again and again, and returned to his winery with a gloomy face.
There's no way around it. It's summer now, and the sales of soju are indeed lower than in winter. I can only store it for now.
Lin Tao did not lie, Song Liyun was really not in Tianxiang Tower for a whole day.
She went to the fields to do farm work.
These two days are the time for harvesting spring rapeseed.
The seeds that Song Liyun had stored in the space for ten years had almost lost their vitality after experiencing the hardships of time and space, and only the rapeseed could still sprout.
The seeds were planted in the ground in March and it is now mid-July.
Under Song Zhenping's wholehearted and careful care, more than 80 rapeseed seedlings finally grew up healthily, and now it is finally the harvest season.
Originally, Song Zhenping could have easily handled it alone, but Song Liyun felt that this was the only living companion between him and that space, so he might as well come and harvest it as a meeting ceremony.
Since she was not going to Qili County, Song Liyun did not have to get up early and could eat the breakfast carefully prepared by Yunniang at home.
When they were leaving, Song Liyun habitually reached out to hold Xiao An's hand, but he dodged her and said shyly, "Second sister, I'm a man, I can't hold hands outside!"
Song Liyun was stunned. She looked around and saw that she was walking on the main road and there were people walking around. She immediately laughed and said, "Good, Xiao An has grown up!"
Now with adequate nutrition, a safe and comfortable living environment, normal and healthy communication with others, and medication, Xiao An has recovered quickly in all aspects.
He has basically grown to the height of an eight or nine-year-old child, and his emotional intelligence changes every day, and the difference between him and a normal child is no longer obvious.
It was a rare opportunity for the three brothers and sisters to work in the fields together.
Song Zhenping was carrying a large basket, ready to fill it with rapeseed pods, and walking in front with Ju Qingma in his hand.
Song Liyun was carrying a basket, and Xiao An was running in the morning light with the little flower dog.
There are flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, cool breezes in summer and snow in winter. If you have no worries, it is a good time in the world.
The years are so peaceful that they make people intoxicated!
