After everything was arranged, Ma Wu whispered to Mrs. Chen Chang and Xiao Lian to leave Songhe Tower through the back door.
Chen Chang smiled and implemented a small plan to punish the arrogant and domineering Cui Guanshi. Although he used Madam and Xiaolian as excuses, there was a reason for the incident, and Madam must not blame him.
He was used to seeing this kind of thing and didn't take it to heart.
If the wife doesn't mention it, I won't mention it either, so as not to embarrass both parties.
It's approaching noon, and there's an endless stream of customers at Songhe Tower. Although most of them come for popsicles and cold drinks, they don't order too many drinks and food, and the consumption isn't high, but a little adds up, and it'll be fine if you do this every day.
.
Suddenly, a carriage drove straight to the door, blocking half of the door. Five or six people got out of the car. The leader was a man with a bald head and a very obvious splay. He was swaggering, and he was followed closely by several subordinates.
Zhang Qing, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, had sharp eyes and recognized at a glance that among these people were servants of the Lou family.
This is where trouble comes.
Zhang Qing turned around and ran to report the news.
Chen Chang is not afraid at all. The Songhe Tower is not what it used to be. The Lou family can hire a gang of thugs to destroy and loot, but the backstage of Songhe Tower is the marquis, so what are they afraid of?
But when Chen Chang came out, he saw that the other party seemed to be well prepared. Everyone in the group was empty-handed and didn't have anyone with them, so they didn't come for a fight.
The bald leader waved a paper fan. He chose to ignore Chen Chang and looked at the oncoming shopkeeper Qiu: "Shopkeeper, I heard that Songhelou doesn't pay for purchasing ingredients. This is not very authentic.
"
This guy was talking to Shopkeeper Qiu, but he looked at Chen Chang coldly.
The few people he brought stood behind him with their arms folded, frowning coldly.
Shopkeeper Qiu looked familiar to him, but he couldn't name him and didn't dare to speak.
One of his subordinates said: "This is our Mr. Cui Qi."
Shopkeeper Qiu suddenly realized that he looked somewhat similar to Manager Cui who had just come to cause trouble.
This Cui Qi Ye is also very bachelor, and he said bluntly: "Guanshi Cui of the Lou family is your Qi Ye's cousin. Do you understand now?"
The two were brothers who came out of the fifth server. Cui Qiye relied on his cousin's influence in the Lou family to gather a group of idlers on the street, walking around the streets and oppressing the good.
Cui Qiye rushed over immediately after receiving the message from his cousin. However, because he was on the other side of Jiangling City at the time, he arrived a little later than the Jiang Gang people.
These people were used to being lawless and knew that Songhe Tower had no backstage, so they went straight to the entrance of the building without asking for outside information.
Shopkeeper Qiu was vomiting and didn't dare to speak.
Chen Chang looked at Master Cui Qi: "Okay, Manager Cui came here in person and didn't settle the matter. He asked Master Qi to come forward. I wonder what Master Qi made?"
"Who are you? Why are you talking to Master Qi?" A scarred-eyed subordinate of Master Cui Qi shouted sternly.
Chen Chang ignored him, turned around and asked Ma Wu: "Ma Wu, is the dog leash in the restaurant ready?"
Ma Wu was stunned. There were no dogs in the restaurant, so why did he ask?
Some of the diners heard the implication of Chen Chang's words and couldn't help but laugh in surprise.
As soon as someone explained it, everyone burst into laughter.
Xiao Langjun means that those scarred eyes are the barking of a mad dog.
Shopkeeper Qiu naturally understood it a long time ago, but he didn't dare to smile in front of Master Cui Qi, and his face turned the color of pig liver from suppressing his emotions.
Seeing that everyone was laughing at him, Scar rolled up his sleeves and said viciously: "Okay, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you Songhe Tower will not know how many eyes Lord Ma has."
After saying that, he looked at Master Cui Qi, like a loyal hound waiting for the master's order. As soon as the master gives the order, he will pounce on the prey and tear it into pieces.
However, the master Cui Qiye's temper is not so irritable, but gives people a feeling of stability.
He glared at Scary Eyes fiercely: "I asked you to read more books, but you just don't want to. Being scolded is just an afterthought. You deserve it!"
Speaking of which, Cui Qiye and Cui Guanshi were only four years apart in age. When the Lou family was recruiting people, Cui Qiye also went to the Lou family with his cousin. He was handsomer and smarter than Cui Guanshi, but in the end
It was my cousin who stayed behind.
The reason Cui Qiye was not selected was that he was not very literate, while Cui Guanshi had read more books than him.
The Lou family is a wealthy businessman, and even the lowest servant in the family can read.
It is said that this is a rule set by the ancestors of the Lou family.
From then on, Cui Guanshi rose to prominence in the Lou family, while Cui Qiye wandered the streets, and their life trajectories completely changed.
Seeing his cousin prospering in the Lou family, Cui Qiye felt even more regretful.
After that, I took out a few books to read in my spare time. However, due to the huge psychological gap, I couldn't read those books at all.
His subordinates followed suit one after another, but they just bought a few books to decorate their appearance.
The scarred face was scolded, and he stepped back in frustration, looking at Chen Chang with an increasingly sinister look.
After reprimanding his scarred face, Cui Qiye put on a calm and calm look and said: "This must be Chen Langjun. Not only is he a talented person, he also has such a good literary talent. I admire him."
He shook his paper fan gently, looking like a scholar.
He has practiced these movements for many years, and they are no different from those literati.
Only the expression on your face can't deceive anyone.
Seeing Chen Chang's young appearance, Cui Qiye couldn't help scolding his idiot cousin.
He can't even deal with such a young man, so he is still the manager of the Lou family!
I cursed in my heart, but had to return to reality and wait for Chen Chang's reply.
Chen Chang cleared his throat and said: "Master Qi, since you are here, I have to give you face. However, we have made an agreement with the merchants who sell the ingredients to pay after ten days."
Songhelou has always been operating with integrity and has accumulated a good reputation among the vegetable and butcher groups. Therefore, Songhelou ordered a large amount of ingredients for its emergency opening this time, and these vendors also fully supported it.
Chen Chang and Shopkeeper Qiu discussed it and decided that they could not betray their support and trust in vain. They signed a contract and the vendors continued to supply goods as usual. However, the payment for the goods would have to be settled ten days later and interest would be paid at the current price.
Songhelou had never defaulted on payment to these vendors in the past, and offered interest, and the vendors agreed one after another.
However, judging from Cui Qiye's appearance, he must have coerced and induced some traders to break the contract.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Chang finished speaking, his scarred face waved over three vendors.
Chen Chang didn't recognize them, but Shopkeeper Cui did.
These three people are a fish seller, a vegetable seller and a meat seller respectively, and they are all the main suppliers of ingredients to Songhe Tower.
Cui Qiye was so cruel in his tactics that he actually used a trick to drain the fire from Songhelou.
Once these three people go back on their word, most of the other merchants will follow suit under pressure.
Not only was it difficult for Songhelou to pay for so much goods at once, Chen Chang was also afraid that these people would stop supplying goods one after another. At that time, no matter how many popsicles and cold drinks Songhelou had, it would be difficult to get them back on the food and drinks.
The glory of the past is gone.
Shopkeeper Qiu suddenly showed a bitter look when he heard this, while Master Cui Qi showed a proud smile when he saw this.
