Chapter 17: The Road to Heaven
It's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat!
Lin Haoran looked at Chen Yuanwai's cheap smile and couldn't help but sigh.
Although he also likes women, and he is not a checkpoint in that regard, what he pursues is all about your affection and my willingness. Categorically, he would not use such inferior means to force a woman into a corner.
Nie Yunzhu was overwhelmed by fright, but Lin Haoran gave her a comforting look, and then smiled at Chen Yuanwai and said, "Please show me the IOU!" ”
"Then you have to see clearly, this is all the arrears she signed at the pharmacy!" Chen Yuanwai seemed to be wary of him tearing it up, so he just handed over a slip.
Lin Haoran took the slip and handed it to Nie Yunzhu for confirmation, Nie Yunzhu glanced at it, nodded silently, and looked sad.
"I didn't lie to you!" Chen Yuanwai asked for the receipt and said a little proudly.
The thin housekeeper next to him looked at Nie Yunzhu: "These are all written in black and white, no one can resist it, I advise you to follow my master, and I guarantee that you will be popular in the future......"
But when he was excited, he stopped.
Lin Haoran glanced at the thin butler with disgust, watched him stop talking, and then asked Chen Yuanwai: "If the restaurant is sold to you, what is the price of this restaurant?" ”
Chen Yuanwai swept the restaurant and said lightly: "This restaurant is broken, and there are no guests today, only this land and a few pillars and beams are worth some silver." I will remember the friendship with the shopkeeper Nie in the past, so I will make a price of eighty taels! ”
"How could my restaurant have been so worthless!" Nie Yunzhu is also angry.
"It's a dilapidated restaurant, only you treat it as a treasure!" Chen Yuanwai was shocked.
Lin Haoran gave Nie Yunzhu a slightly calm look, and then asked, "Then what is the price of your restaurant?" ”
"My restaurant was newly built last year, and now it is full of guests and friends, and the guests are like clouds, so it naturally has to be priced more than 1,000 taels!" Chen Yuanwai pointed to the restaurant over there and said smugly.
"Chen Yuanwai, this new building is just a few pillars, and the most valuable ones are those guests who keep coming and going, I don't know if I'm right or not?" Lin Haoran said with a smile.
Chen Yuan glanced at him unexpectedly, but he didn't want this scholar to be able to peek through this doorway, so he couldn't help but be impressed, and nodded at him slightly: "Not bad!" ”
"It just so happens that I've been idle lately, so why don't we play a game!" Lin Haoran said, and actually took out a handful of snow-white silver from his arms, and smiled at him.
Chen Yuanwai's eyes were so vicious, knowing that there were twenty taels of silver there, but he didn't want this poor scholar to have some financial resources, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "What are you playing?" ”
Lin Haoran threw the silver taels, listened to the crisp sound of the silver taels, and said with a smile: "Your price for this restaurant is too low, I bet that it won't take half a month to make this restaurant like a cloud, I don't know if Chen Yuanwai believes it or not?" ”
"Why should I play with you?" Chen Yuanwai snorted coldly, but he didn't sell his account.
"Then let's go to the yamen today, I want to see if there is any reason for this Lang Lang Qiankun!" Lin Haoran's face changed, and he looked at him coldly and continued: "Even if the county lord helps you, I will be the twenty-two dogs!" I have some fellow villagers and friends, and Jiang Ronghua, who came by car yesterday, is my classmate, I want to see if you will be reprimanded by our scholars for such evil deeds! ”
There is undoubtedly the most troublesome reading person in the world, these people have no other skills, but they are all born with a good mouth, and they are full of great truths, and the white can be said to be black.
Fugui Restaurant is a semi-literati market, and Liu Yuanwai knows the character of these literati. If he really confronted Nie Yunzhu in court, and this scholar fanned the flames with his friend, then the matter would inevitably spread among the readers.
The methods he used were indeed a bit disgraceful, and if it was at that time, the signboard of the Fugui Restaurant might really be stinky. And this county trial period is the best time of the year for business, and the losses will not be able to weigh at that time.
In addition, this scholar also made it clear that he was going to help this beautiful woman with a beautiful face and a moon, and what he wanted to come was only twenty taels after all.
Chen Yuanwai hesitated for a long time, and finally stared at him and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”
Lin Haoran saw that he had the intention of compromise, so he smiled and said, "You can accept the IOU first!" Let's first do not interfere with the river water, and see how much my restaurant is worth in half a month? I really can't stand your eighty taels, I think this restaurant is worth at least three hundred taels! ”
"Good! I'll give you half a month to see what skills you can have, so that this restaurant is worth three hundred taels! Chen Yuanwai stared at him viciously, and then led the people away.
This lawsuit and not being able to get a bargain is really not what he wants, and the ultimate goal is to take Nie Yunzhu as a concubine. It turned out that now is not the time to do it, so wait until the end of the county test, and then you will not be afraid to make trouble with the yamen.
And he believes that with the advantages of Fugui Restaurant, it is absolutely impossible to give this restaurant a chance to survive, so that this scholar can understand that this way of business is not as simple as written in the book.
"Chen Yuanwai, it's good to go!"
Lin Haoran arched his hand at him, but the stone on the ground was kicked out of his feet, and coincidentally, Chen Yuanwai happened to step on the stone, and the whole person rolled down the steps like a hill.
Nie Yunzhu was originally full of sorrow, but when he saw this situation, he immediately laughed. only found that Lin Haoran looked at her, and said leisurely: "This restaurant can't be saved!" ”
"Do you believe me?" Lin Haoran looked into her eyes and asked, looked at her eyes and dodged, then stuffed the silver taels in his hand and said: "This money should be staked on you at this time, if you can't save this restaurant, you can take these silver taels to pay him back!" ”
"No...... That's not true! Nie Yunzhu found that the man was actually touching her hand, and he wanted to break free but couldn't, so he immediately turned red to the root of his ear, and the deer in his heart slammed into each other.
Half of the restaurant is actually a good restaurant, located at the intersection of two streets, and the flow of people is very strong. The layout of the two floors in the building, the tables and chairs are not damaged, and the stairs are very strong.
The back kitchen of the restaurant occupies a large area, with complete pots and pans, and the stove is made of bricks and stones.
Lin Haoran frowned, the oil and salt tanks on them were empty, only sauce and vinegar were still some remnants, and the entire kitchen had no ingredients except for a basket of dried mountain mushrooms.
It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!
After seeing the situation in the kitchen, he was very disappointed! However, he believed that there would always be more ways than difficulties, and soon he picked up a firewood knife from the pyre and picked up another bamboo.
He always believes that there is no endless way, and he can only not give up, and he will always find a way to solve the current problems.
At noon, the streets are bustling.
As the county exam is imminent, many candidates have put down their books, or traveled to the Confucian Temple, or went to the temple together to make wishes, and the nervousness before the exam spread rapidly among the candidates. Qingyun Street has been blessed by the name, and the number of candidates who come and go is increasing day by day, and some even stay here and are reluctant to leave, but most of them have entered the rich restaurants on Qingyun Street.
Qiang Qiang ......
In this leisurely street, a deafening sound of gongs and drums sounded. Compared with the boredom of noise in later generations, people in this era still seem gentle, and even look forward to what will be lively.
"Everybody come and have a look! Ten cents, as long as ten cents, this colorful goose may be yours, and there are various prizes! Don't miss it! The prizes are here, no fraud......"
The street was dominated by idle scholars, and then some people gathered around, looking at the rules on the notice, and at the big fat geese with their feet tied on it.
"Really, such a fat goose only costs 10 yuan?"
"No, no, no, you look at the notice on it, it's very clear!"
"Wonderful! This is somewhat similar to Guan Pu, but it is more mysterious. ”
……
The onlookers looked at the notice in red and black, and they began to discuss, but those who understood it had a sense of superiority. Those who cannot read or read have to ask their peers or others for advice.
