Chapter 264 The thunder is loud and the rain is small
Hearing Song Liyun say that her man now earns more than one or two dollars a month, Lin Tao's wife glanced at Lin Tao who was surrounded by others, her eyes full of love and joy.
But she couldn't praise her man, so she could only say shyly: "I have heard from Lin Tao, and I have to thank Miss Song for her help, so he has this opportunity."
Song Liyun smiled: "Sister-in-law, you are so polite. Although I am in charge, the real hard worker is Brother Lin, the shopkeeper. He has to guard the store every day and doesn't even have time to take you out to play!"
Lin Tao's wife hurriedly shook her head: "I don't need him to accompany me, it's more important to do business. Luo'er and I can just take a look!"
This time she came to Broken Gold Town with the intention of giving it a try.
Lin Tao used to be a soldier in other places and had not been back home for five years. This time he not only asked someone to send back five taels of silver, but also said in the letter that he would come to visit relatives after the autumn harvest.
When Lin Tao went home last time, his son was only three years old. Now Luo'er is eight years old, and he can't even remember what his father looks like.
The parents-in-law also felt that Lin Tao only had one child and the population was not prosperous. After receiving the letter, they urged themselves to come and stay for a while. No matter what, they had to wait until they were pregnant with the child before going back.
Who would have thought that as soon as he came here, Lin Tao would say that he would be transferred to a military household and would not leave.
Lin Tao's wife is also excited to be with her husband!
Lin Tao is the second son of the family. She has an eldest brother and a brother-in-law. Her sisters-in-law are all here, so there is no need for her to go back and serve her parents-in-law.
Moreover, Luo'er is old enough to learn a few words from his father and can no longer run around like a wild boy in the village every day.
Lin Tao's wife touched her belly, adding another blush to her face that was so red from doing farm work.
Maybe during these two nights, I had already conceived the child.
Moving along with the flow of people, Song Liyun suddenly saw a stall that surprised her.
This is a liquor store.
Liao Fu from Furui Winery was hiding next to the wine vat behind the long table with his head shrunken, his eyes flashing, excited and nervous.
Behind Shen Leyan's back and others, he secretly asked someone to write his name on the roster that had been submitted to the county government at the last moment.
These days I am on tenterhooks, fearing that I will be removed from the job, or that the news will be leaked to Chairman Shen.
On the long table, several bowls were placed directly, and the waiter held a wine bottle and shouted loudly:
"With three bowls, you can defeat a tiger; with five bowls, you can become a king!"
If someone wants to taste it, the waiter will take a sip from the bowl and hand it over. If his hands are unsteady, some of the wine will always spill out and get on the clothes, the floor, and the tablecloth.
The strong smell of alcohol mixed with the crowd, and then was taken to other places, so that people who like wine can come after hearing the news.
This is also a little sales gimmick.
When the clerk at Furui Winery happily finished a business, Song Liyun and Lin Tao's wife stopped in front of the stall.
Just when the clerk was about to ask the girl if her sister-in-law also wanted to buy wine, he heard a panicked cry from behind him: "Song... Manager Song!"
Liao Fu bowed his waist, flushed, and walked out from behind the wine jar that was half a man's height. He bowed his hands to Song Liyun and saluted: "Hello, Manager Song! This, this is..."
"Business manager Liao's business is booming! I'm very grateful to the little lady for coming to support Tianxianglou!" Song Liyun said with a smile.
"Ah! This... hahahaha! Thank you so much, Manager Song, for your magnanimity!"
Liao Fu did not expect to be ridiculed. Instead, Song Liyun's friendly words made him happy and he said, "Manager Song, if you are free, can you sit down at the tea shop next door?"
Is there something to say?
Song Liyun looked at Lin Tao's wife and the children who were eating candied haws beside him, and said with a smile: "I want to go shopping with my sister-in-law. Shopkeeper Liao might as well come to Tianxiang Building in the afternoon!"
Liao Fu had a bitter look on his face. Looking at Song Liyun who turned around to leave, he could only nod in agreement.
Alas! Why is it so difficult if you want to ride on two boats?
Yaqian Street was very lively. In Zuichunlou, He Dong, Shen Leyan, Huang Changsheng and others gathered together again.
He Dong's face was full of anger: "That old boy Liao Fu betrayed us, and now he has also set up a stall. Mr. Shen, his drinks this year..."
"From now on, you are not allowed to ask for a bottle of wine from Furui Winery! We will also check all the shops that sell rice noodles and seasonings." Shen Leyan said with a gloomy face.
He Dong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but shuddered.
Shen Leyan is the head of the kitchen guild, a position that ordinary people would not pay attention to.
There are guild rules in a guild.
Any restaurant that wants to open a restaurant needs cooks, and the skills of the cooks and the dishes they serve need to be judged by people in the guild.
In other words, whether a store is alive or dead depends on just one sentence.
From their mouths, there is no way to refute the question of which family's food is faulty or whose grain and oil store is faulty.
Blocking the grain and oil for the business, driving away the cooks, bribing the clerks to play dirty tricks, finding people to destroy the store and extort money, and replacing it with someone else. It's all a toss-up, and you won't stop until you lose money and hurt people.
Only Tianxiang Tower is an anomaly, or Song Liyun is an anomaly.
The waiter inside had just signed the contract and asked for his family members to be pledged, so he didn't dare to ask for the money that came to his door.
You can open a business without a cook, without grains, oils and seasonings. You don't sell any dishes, just barbecue that is too rustic to be put on the countertop.
This thing... really doesn’t need a chef!
As for the group of people who extort money and cause trouble, they are even more useless.
The ruffian meets the gangster, the little king meets the big king.
Who can resist being fed shit before they even open their mouths, and throwing it out when they make trouble?
The moves that Shen Leyan used to make all kinds of moves, but now when he used them, it was like a night rain with heavy thunder and small raindrops, strong wind and strong wind... It was weak and weak, and it did not damage Tianxiang Tower in the slightest.
Song Liyun was from an evil family, and she even hired Mr. Lin to ruin her reputation, but instead he was chased at her door, scolded, and scared away.
Now, is Shen Leyan going to take action against the merchants who have dealings with Tianxianglou?
At this moment, the clerk from Zuichunlou rushed into the room in panic: "My boss, Shen Huishou, it's not good! It's not good!"
"If you have something to say, let's talk it over. What's wrong is that those bastards are here again. You go buy another cart of vegetables!" Huang Changsheng said through gritted teeth.
They had just discussed that the trade fair would be open for three days, and they would hold on for three more days. When this storm passed, those hungry wolves would never enter their store again.
"No, yes...yes" the guy stuttered a little.
Huang Chang became furious and kicked him: "If you don't say anything, get out!"
The clerk was kicked and his words suddenly flowed smoothly: "Everyone outside is saying that it's us, uh! Gao Li from Jinxi Building is jealous of Tianxiang Building's good business, so that's why they say that!"
"What?" Huang Changsheng had a bad feeling.
"Say we are stealing Tianxianglou's craftsmanship."
"Fart!" Shen Le stood up eagerly, "Who dares to say that, who?"
The words had already been spoken, and the man became bolder now.
He saw that his boss had a strange look on his face and did not object. He said without hesitation: "Now people are saying this all over the street, saying that Jin Xilou is trying to steal business and is deliberately distorting the facts because he is the head of the kitchen guild." .”
