Chapter 93： trouble

Qiu Jiu and the others found two rice shops that were willing to sell rice to them, but all they brought out were old rice, and even the price was 10% higher.

"Those shopkeepers don't know what's wrong, I heard that I am from the Chen family restaurant, and I said it well, and my face changed immediately. Too much!"

Xiao Wang muttered indignantly, feeling that the shopkeepers I met today are simply inexplicable. Whoever sells rice is not selling it, but it is not sold to them, it is simply wrong!

Chen Xing had already prepared for the worst. At this time, he was not too angry when he heard their report. The county sells rice, how to get it is the most cost-effective. It's just a matter of spending more money and troubles, but it won't make his shop unable to open.

Thinking about this, Chen Xing felt a lot more relieved. Looking at the indignant work in front of him, he smiled at them: "It's hard for you today, go back to rest early! As for the shop It will not be resolved for a while, and it will be the same if we try to find a solution tomorrow."

"Yes, the little boss has worked hard, so let's go back first."

After several clerks left, Chen Xing turned his attention to Gu Lang, sighed deeply, and said his idea of ​​going to Linxian to buy rice, "This method Although it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, I can control it myself, and I don’t need to be restrained by others.”

Gu Lang nodded after hearing this, feeling that Chen Xing was right, and said, "Let Qiu Jiu go and buy more back then, and it won't be a problem to store it properly."

"En." Seeing that Gu Lang supported his idea, Chen Xing was not as depressed as before, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who was so optimistic, and followed him with his lips, his eyes were all tender.

Because there was not enough rice in the store, Chen Xing explained the situation to the employees when he arrived at the store the next day, and asked Qiu Jiu and Qiushi to go to Linxian to buy more. During this period, they can control the shipments in the store and try to use the remaining rice to persist until Qiu Jiu comes back.

After confirming that the remaining rice can be used by Qiu Jiu to buy rice, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the other people in the store and said, "There are two people in the store. You have to work hard for the past two days.”

When everyone saw that Chen Xing was polite, they also laughed: "Little boss is polite, this is what we should do."

Everyone finished talking in a lively manner, and began to prepare for the door as before, and Chen Xing was also ready to go to the kitchen to work.

Just when everyone thought it would be fine, Auntie Li, who was in charge of receiving vegetables and cleaning them, suddenly ran over and looked at Chen Xing anxiously: "Little boss, the guy from the grocery store just arrived. After a trip, they said they would not give us the goods, and asked me to double the deposit back to you."

Chen Xing looked at the double deposit handed over by Aunt Li, and couldn't recover. In ancient times, all aspects were not as convenient as in modern times. When it comes to shopping for vegetables, ordinary people have their own fields and can be self-sufficient. The wealthy family signed a contract with the store that received the food, and let people deliver the food to the house at a fixed time.

Chen Xing and his restaurant are naturally like this. For some vegetables that are easy to store, he will buy more when he goes to the market. If those are easy to yellow, he signed a contract with the grocery store and let them bring fresh ones every day.

In this way, Chen Xing and the others can save their troubles, and the people around them can also earn hard money. He did not expect that the cooperation that seemed to be extremely reliable on weekdays actually went wrong at this time.

"Little boss, what should we do now? The guests will come later." Qiu Wu, who had been standing by the side, listened to Chen Xing and Aunt Li's words, and finally couldn't help but let out He said, "Otherwise, I'll make a trip to see if other stores sell it."

Chen Xing pursed his lips when he heard Qiu Wu's words, and then whispered: "No need." Since the shopkeeper of the grocery store dared to do this so blatantly, someone must have made him do so. He goes to other grocery stores now, and the results are probably similar to when he went to the rice store.

The notice went out, saying that the dishes in our store were insufficient, and we could only supply them in limited quantities, while supplies lasted."

"Aunt Li, help me see how much stock we have in the kitchen and see how many days we can last."

…

"Yes!"

He suddenly felt a little angry and didn't understand why the Chen family insisted on getting along with him. Could it be because Gu Lang didn't agree to marry Chen Linger, so they took revenge like this? Although I knew they were going to do it, I didn't expect them to do it like this!

Chen Xing was sulking alone inside, and was still actively using his brain, trying to find some remedy. Qiu Wu on the other end had already taken Chen Xing's arrangement to find Gu Lang who was sitting on the counter.

"What's wrong?" Surprisingly, Gu Lang didn't hold him accountable, just raised his eyes and looked at him lightly, waiting for his next words.

Looking at this master who is completely two faces in front of the little boss, and in front of them, he didn't dare to say anything, just repeated what Chen Xing ordered.

Gu Lang's brows were slightly wrinkled, he looked at Qiu Wu who came to pass the word, his tone was a little low, "How is Chen Xing now?"

Qiu Wu didn't expect that the first sentence his master asked was this, he was a little stunned, but he quickly recovered, and immediately replied: "The little boss looks a little depressed , just recovered quickly and it doesn't look like much of a difference in peacetime."

Gu Lang glanced at the direction of the back kitchen, it seemed that he could see through the layers of barriers, and saw Chen Xing’s angry but self-assured appearance behind him, he nodded lightly, " I know, go back to work!"

"Yes."

Qiu Wu slid away quickly, before leaving, thinking that his master was really planted this time, he had never seen his master do this to anyone before. like a heart.

After Qiu Wu left, Gu Lang stayed in place for a while, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he sneered softly, "It's just to make you happy for a few more days, just so my stars can rest for a few days."

After finishing speaking, Gu Lang lowered his eyes, restrained the chill in it, then stood up slowly, and soon returned to the gentle and harmless Mr.

When Gu Lang's notice was posted outside the store, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"What does this notice say?"

"They have already limited 30 tables of guests, and now they will limit it again, do they not want to do business!"

"Business, I'm afraid that their business will soon have to be done!"

"Hey, how to say this, let's hear it."

"That's right, just talk about it and let everyone listen to it happily."

"Since you want to know so much, then I might as well tell you. The shopkeeper of this store doesn't know how to offend Mr. Chen, and now Mr. Chen has given orders to the merchants below him, saying no You must provide them with rice and vegetables, whoever provides them will be against their Chen family!"

"How can it be possible? If you don't provide them with what to entertain guests, isn't that cutting off people's money?"

"That's right, I see that the Chen family is ruthless. Even though the family is so rich, they still can't get along with a small restaurant."

"It must be the boss who did something to provoke the Chen family like this. You can see that they only entertain thirty tables of high-quality samples on weekdays."

"Wang Da, you don't have the money to go in to eat, so I'm afraid you can't eat the grapes and say that the grapes are sour! Now I see others are about to close the store, and they are still talking sour here."

"I'm sour, I'm sour! Anyway, this store is about to close down, and those rich people can't eat it if they want to eat it. What can I be sour!"

The few people next to him heard what Wang Da said, shook their heads and stopped arguing with him, just looked at the door of the Chen family restaurant, and said with some regret: "I still want to I saved enough money that day, and brought my wife and children to eat once. I didn’t expect it to close so soon. Hey, it’s a pity, it’s not good to offend anyone, go to offend the Chen family.”

People outside the door were talking a lot, some were watching the fun, some were eating immediately after seeing the sign, for fear that they would close the door, and Gu Lang always sat there expressionlessly watching the traffic The crowd, as if those discussions had nothing to do with him.

It's just that more people poured in this time. Chen Xing originally planned to keep the ingredients for a few days, but immediately became stretched again, which made him worry again.

Chen Family.

Master Chen sat leisurely on the reclining chair, next to the beautiful maid serving him, some fat bodies swayed back and forth as the reclining chair shook, and from time to time he got up to eat a fruit fed by the maid, and then drink Two sips of tea, the whole person looks relaxed and comfortable.

Until a man who looked like a housekeeper walked in, bowed to Master Chen, and then reported: "Master, I have done as you ordered, I believe that the rice shops in the county are , grocery stores won't sell them anything."

It seems that he knew this would happen for a long time. The expression on Chen's face did not change much, and he said lightly: "What's the reaction from the restaurant?"

The butler recalled for a moment, he felt that the restaurant seemed to be completely unresponsive, but he knew that this must not be said in front of Mr. Chen, so he flattered: "Naturally, I am very anxious, but I have no choice but to be incompetent and furious!"

Immediately after, the butler looked at Mr. Chen, who seemed to be in a good mood, knowing that he had made the right bet, his eyes lit up, and he continued: "However, I heard that they can't buy rice in the county town, Ready to go to Linxian to buy. Sir, do we need to do something?"

Master Chen's shaking movement stopped for a while, and then he shook gently again, with a bit of disdain on his face, "I didn't expect them to be able to do this, then Just let them know what to do and what not to do."

After saying that, Mr. Chen seemed to think of something again, his eyes lit up immediately, and a sinister smile appeared on his face, "No, you still let them pull and wait until their goods enter the city. , you can find a way to cut them off, I'll see what else they can do next time!"

"Yes."
