There was so much wailing outside, and Grandma Qi was a little unhappy:
"This year is not over yet. Why don't you say a few happy words when you ask for food and cry when you come up?"
Aunt Lianhua was quite disdainful: "These beggars are all well-organized. If you can't give them later, you just say you don't have any change."
But the seventh cousin is well-informed: "Wait a minute if you say this, he will take out the QR code for you to scan. His mobile phone may be more high-end than yours."
The three people murmured and decided to pretend that no one was at home. Otherwise, the beggar would insist on leaving later, and they would cry and have to give money. How frustrating it would be!
However, just after the discussion was completed, someone at the door asked:
"Who are you? What do you do?"
It was Zhang Yanping's voice.
The seventh cousin sighed: Yan Ping is soft-hearted, I guess he still has to give him the money.
Outside the courtyard, Chef Bai's voice was stiff and his mood was a bit out of control.
Zhang Yanping looked him over - he was well dressed, but why did he cry when he came up? This is not the way to find cooperation, right?
He frowned and looked at this man more and more suspiciously.
But the other party shrank subconsciously, with tears streaming down his face, and his whole body became cautious. After a while, he whispered:
"I……"
Tsk! Why are you so stubborn?
Zhang Yanping was a little impatient. The pig had eaten so deliciously, and it looked like he was hungry, so he asked again:
"Huh? What's the matter?"
The man opposite him carefully shrank back and silently took half a step back:
"I'm just coming...ahem...coming..."
Chef Bai's voice became lower and lower until he finally couldn't speak any more.
Because there was a fierce, dark and strong man standing opposite.
His face was tense, and when he looked sideways, he seemed ready to hit himself with a fist as big as a sand bowl at any time.
With his old arms and legs, if someone really beats him, wouldn't it be like making a fool of himself? And if he is beaten, whether he can go out safely in a remote mountain village is another matter!
Moreover, the other party's expression was very ferocious when he spoke. He was not a good person at first glance!
His face turned pale.
Zhang Yanping looked at him for a moment, and then he came to his senses. At this moment, he quickly tugged on his coat. He tried his best to say gently:
"Don't worry, I won't hit you. Tell me, what are you here for?"
He started threatening people!
It seemed like he was really going to hit himself!
Chef Bai was really panicking. He subconsciously took out his cell phone. He wanted to find someone to encourage him, but when he flipped through the call records, there was no one else in the call history except the driver who was carrying the passengers!
But he finally made the trip to this mountain village. After traveling thousands of miles, he couldn't return without success, right?
At this moment, Chef Bai was afraid and held on, but he was still a little scared and was speechless for a while.
This attitude made Zhang Yanping very angry.
He's already acting so gentle, so what's going on with the people across from him? Other bosses weren't so frightened when they came over!
Then he raised his eyebrows: "What on earth do you do?"
Chef Bai trembled visibly. He took a deep breath and was about to speak when he heard the sound of talking and laughing coming from the road on one side.
He turned around and saw a large group of people coming around from the bamboo forest, each holding hoes, shovels and rakes, staring at them with the same tense expressions.
Look at Zhang Yanping again...
Chef Bai took a breath, finally mustered up the courage to avoid Zhang Yanping's eyes, and then made a call:
"Hey... you're looking for the wrong place, you, you, you, hurry up and drive forward where you get off the car, I'll take the car back..."
The driver who had just reached the county road responded blankly, thinking that 400 yuan is really not expensive? Didn't he hear from his colleagues that it costs 200 yuan to charter a car here?
But if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain. He turned the steering wheel and quickly went back.
The seventh cousin slowly came out of the yard and saw everyone gathered at the door and couldn't help but wonder:
"What are you doing?"
"Oh," Zhang Yanping came back to his senses: "I was hungry and was about to eat something. I saw a strange man standing at the door... He didn't say anything for a long time after questioning, acting like a thief."
"Are you begging for food?"
The seventh cousin laughed happily and looked at the figure trotting all the way on the road in the distance - he was a little fat, he couldn't run fast, and he was still out of breath. He had only walked a few steps? His body was not as strong as his!
"But Yan Ping, you can't blame others. You yourself are fierce, so no one who looks at you should be stunned for a while."
They were originally worried that Yan Ping would give him money if he had a soft heart, but after hearing nothing for a long time, they knew that he must be scaring people again.
Alas, this child looked like a yeast bun when he first came here, but now he has become a hard, black-faced steamed bun——
Who can I ask to explain this? Those who don’t know would think he is so diligent in the countryside.
As soon as the seventh cousin said this, the fellow villagers at the door also started talking:
"That's right! We were going to put the shovel back, but when we saw Zhang Yanping standing at the door like he was about to hit someone, we were so scared that we didn't dare to say anything."
"That guy just now was sneaky. What did he want to do here? Don't just come to step on me."
"Hey, you see, Yan Ping scared him away as soon as he came back. You know that this person is cowardly - I put the hoe here, and we will take it with me on the way this afternoon."
Everyone said goodbye in twos and threes, feeling their full stomachs and wandering home.
Zhang Yanping entered the courtyard with a dark face and sighed: "If I go out now, I'm afraid my ID card will be checked several times along the way."
"Isn't that good?" Aunt Lianhua laughed: "From now on, only people will be polite to you, how safe it is. Having you in our family will save us a lot of worry..."
"You haven't noticed, haven't you? There are also some lazy workers in our village who are working as day laborers. If you put a pestle over there, they will work faster."
"Oh, by the way, you can't stand at the front desk when your B&B opens. Let Teacher Xin do it. He looks fair and elegant..."
Zhang Yanping:......
…
At this moment, Boss Chang also received news.
"What? That guy named Bai went to Yunqiao Village?"
"Well, he invested all his house in a hotel, and now he has lost all his money. He is old and doesn't have much money... You also know his reputation. It's not that easy to find a job. It's not because he doesn't know why. He is trying his best to find a job.
I have inquired about Yunqiao Village..."
"That's okay. The old Song family's stuff won't be sold to him anyway."
Boss Chang still has some confidence.
but……
"You should be more vigilant. I see that he is very proud and confident. Maybe he really has some trump card..."
The chef in the store got the news and told him about it. Boss Chang said he didn't care, but in fact he was very concerned about it.
As soon as the phone hung up, I quickly called Song Tan.
"Boss Song..."
Song Tan tore the tape with a cracking sound. She took out her phone and was still a little confused: "I told you that the spinach is gone. Just wait for another month...20 days!"
Next, we need to plant some quick lettuce in a large area, such as Chinese cabbage, spring spinach, lettuce, etc. These vegetables grow very fast, but in fact, we really can’t wait a few days.
Boss Chang quickly explained: "It's not about buying groceries, it's about the Youran Ecological Base opposite us. Our competitor, the chef who left before, said he found his way to the village."
ah?
Song Tan was stunned: "It's useless to find them. Didn't I agree to sell my food to you?"
Boss Chang is so generous, forthright and open-minded, but not just anyone can meet him.
Boss Chang smiled proudly and confidently on the other end of the phone - let's just say, he really has a charming personality!
At this moment, he quickly said: "I know, I know, we have always been happy to cooperate. The main thing is to remind you, I am afraid that he will do something bad in the past..."
"That's okay."
Speaking of causing trouble, Song Tan became more confident: "I added new security this year, and more than 20 people patrolled back and forth. Every day is full of work."
For example, right now, more than a dozen people are shoveling spinach in the fields!
Boss Chang was completely relieved and warned: "Chashan! There must be more patrols in Chashan!"
"I want the orchard too! Why don't you sell the orchard to Qian and Wang this year? They won't be happy with the money... just sell it to me!"
"Vegetable fields, vegetable fields should not be taken lightly. The return rate of growing vegetables is so high! And it can be grown one crop after another..."
Song Tan:......
The old Song family gave him the nickname Chang Baobao, and he was right.
After hanging up the phone, Song Tan didn't remember the matter at all, until when he went back to eat, Zhang Yanping was holding a bowl and looked glumly:
"You said the B&B is open, can't I really stay there?"
The foundation had already begun to be laid. He and Xin Jun had discussed it countless times and were still very emotional about their first business venture.
Qiao Qiao was also curious: "Why not? Although Brother Yanping looks very fierce, he is not fierce at all!"
Xin Jun laughed out loud: "Maybe he is a guest who comes to stay in the hotel and doesn't want to spend time getting to know his inner beauty."
Qiao Qiao thought about it: "When I went to the beach before, the sister at the front desk was very nice to me, but I didn't know her very well..."
Song Tan thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily. If you are marketing something [the most secure B&B], and put his face on the promotional picture, you might really be able to attract people."
Speaking of this, the seventh cousin laughed: "Don't tell me, Yan Ping's face is really good! At noon, someone came to the door. I don't know what he was doing. Before he entered the door, he called Yan Ping and scared him.
gone."
Zhang Yanping was even more innocent: "I asked him what he was here for and who he was? He hesitated for a long time and was speechless, and finally ran away..."
"Compared with him, who is not a good person?"
Huh?
Song Tan remembered Boss Chang's phone call.
"Maybe we are really here to discuss cooperation. Boss Chang called and said that a chef from his rival family is here."
She said it casually, but Wu Lan and Song Sancheng became nervous: "I feel that Boss Chang is very nice and popular. He has found someone and then you sell it to him. How unethical! He paid a high price for everything.
It’s unique.”
"I don't plan to sell it." Song Tan was just a little curious: "Boss Chang said that the other party was quite confident. I was also wondering if there was a particularly high price..."
After saying this, everyone started thinking about it.
"Perhaps the person who scared away at noon was really...but when Boss Chang came to see our Yanping, he didn't look like that!"
When Song Sancheng said this, he had obviously forgotten that Boss Chang had specially brought two tall and strong cutters with him when he came over.
At this moment, he was very disdainful: "He has no courage at all. Is he really guilty? Most likely he is not here to talk about cooperation, but to cause damage in our fields."
Song Sancheng was very cautious: "Look at the TV series, sabotage in shopping malls, that, that idiom... intrigues and intrigues, it's all like this."
This is not impossible.
Song Tan thought of the more than 20 security guards hired by her family, and became happy again.
"As expected of me, you are so foresight."
The seventh cousin ate in silence, but at this moment he became a little angry:
"It's right not to cooperate. This person doesn't look happy and doesn't fit in with our family."
He took a sip of the soup while holding the bowl, and commented: "Who comes to the house empty-handed during the Chinese New Year to discuss cooperation? Before I even get in, I start crying."
"I thought he was begging for food."
Qiaoqiao felt a little regretful: "I didn't see it! Why was he crying?"
The seventh cousin shook his head: "I don't know. I was busy chopping garlic, and I only heard a cry."
That's really unlucky. No wonder he can't do business as well as Boss Chang.
Everyone continued to eat and quickly forgot about the matter.
And here, Chef Bai sitting in the car looked gloomy and gritted his teeth.
Damn it!
He is just a supplier, but he is so strict! Such a group of people has developed in a village... Fortunately, he did not call him Chef Song, otherwise if the other party gets angry, he will be beaten first!
but……
After all, I have been raised by Chef Song since I was a child. Although my parents did some bad things back then, they blocked the door and scolded...
But over the years, he brought the old couple to the city and had no contact with them anymore.
After a long time, Chef Song will probably be too old to walk. If he continues to cry and beg for help...if he slowly grinds it down, he should be able to show some affection.
Thinking of this, Chef Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
only……
He stared at the driver: "When I mentioned chartering a car earlier, it should be the round-trip price, right?"
This driver is not happy!
"That won't work. I'm almost there and you call me to go back again. I hit the accelerator all the way..."
"Are you trying to rip off customers? I can complain when I get back!" Chef Bai was not happy either. He failed today and felt more and more constrained.
When I go back, I have to find a way to borrow money and fill the holes in my house first. I can no longer take 400 yuan seriously.
However, when the complaint was mentioned, the driver became even more angry:
"You vote! You vote! This garbage company doesn't do anything but still charges us more than 100 in commission every month..."
He scolded so fiercely!
Chef Bai instantly became nervous again. Now that the steering wheel was in his hands, he didn't dare to provoke him at all.
After cursing for a while, the driver finally groaned:
"Forget it, let's count it as 200 for this trip..."
