In just a few days, the story that a certain teenager made a big fuss about the household department yamen and uncovered all kinds of corruption and malpractice was widely circulated among the government and the opposition. Compared with the cold reaction of the court, the folk began to deduce multiple versions, and even borrowed by speakers in Sangjiawazi and other places to change it into a more tortuous and bizarre story.

As the only protagonist of this matter, Sun Tu still seems very low-key, that is, there are very few people in Tong's Mansion who know that it is him who makes trouble. Still living in Tong Mu's Tingfeng Courtyard, he is busy practicing riding every day in order to cope with the shooting test in a few months.

Of course, in addition, he and Tong Mu will still take Ya'er to take Ya'er to walk around Tokyo City, and have a better understanding of this great Song capital. What makes Tong Mu feel a little strange is that Sun Tu, who has nothing to do, is still preoccupied sometimes.

On this day, when the two were drinking iced sour plum soup and chatting, Tong Mu couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "San Lang, why do you still look like you're full of worries, but is there anything that hasn't been done?" Or is it because my Tong family is not greeting well? As the relationship between the two deepened, the title has also changed.

Sun Tu gently put down the jade soup bowl and shook his head: "Since I came here, both you and Tong Shuai have been very good to me. I'm just like this because I'm uneasy. There is a way that is useless, even if I have some small credits, but Tong Shuai is willing to give me a chance to become an official is enough to offset it. Now I am still eating and living here for nothing, and I am really ashamed of it. ”

Hearing him say the reason, Tong Mu laughed: "You! San Lang, if you hadn't been sitting in front of me, I would have treated you like an old middle-aged man. You and I are incompatible, and you have saved my life, so it is natural to live here. Don't you think our friendship is not enough that you don't want to stay here? ”

"Naturally not, I just don't have a taste in my heart, and it's really not what I want to eat and live for nothing." Sun Tu hurriedly waved his hand to explain slightly.

Tong Mu glanced at him a few times, and then shook his head with a smile: "I can see it, you are just an idle person." That being the case, I really have a way. ”

"But what is it, tell me about it?"

"You used to open a hotel in Yuncheng County, and under my name, there is also a small restaurant in this Tokyo city called Liufangju. It's just that for some reason, it can't compare to the other stores around, and business has always been bad. If you don't dislike it, can you help me? ”

As soon as Sun Tu heard this, his spirit was lifted: "Is this true? ”

Tong Mu nodded solemnly: "It's naturally true, if you don't believe it, let's go over, the restaurant is near the Tianhanzhou Bridge not far from here." If you really have a way to make my hotel's business better, I'll do you a few percent. So saying, he stood up.

Sun Tu nodded: "Okay, let's go over and take a look." But there is one thing that I have to say, if I really want to make the restaurant business better, I have to make the decision. ”

"That's nature, go!"

The two of them immediately went out, led two horses in the stable in the front yard, and headed straight for their destination. Don't look at Tong Mu's weakness on the surface, but in terms of riding skills, he is still above Sun Tu, and he walked fast and steady all the way, and after only one meal, the two of them have come to a two-story restaurant, which is the Liufangju just mentioned.

The location of this restaurant is indeed very good, on the left is adjacent to the famous Little Sweet Water Lane, and there are many shops and pedestrians around. But it is precisely because of this that several large and small restaurants have opened on the side, and such fierce competition is no wonder that its business is not very good.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant, who was guarding the counter inside the door, saw Tong Mu riding a horse at a glance, and quickly greeted him with a smile and small steps: "Second son, why do you think you are here today?" While talking, he also instructed the guys in the store who also came up to greet him: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and serve the second son sour plum soup and the pastries in our store." ”

"Shopkeeper Wu, why is the business of our restaurant still so cold?" Tong Mu walked into the store and swept around, and found that the building was empty at this time, and not a single diner could see it, so he was naturally very dissatisfied.

Shopkeeper Wu's face tightened, and he quickly explained: "Second son, you don't know, although our Liufangju is one of the seventy-two restaurants in the city, whether it is wine or cuisine, it is far inferior to the Niulou Hotel on the side, so there are fewer guests on weekdays." The little ones know that this is not the solution, so they are planning countermeasures. ”

"San Lang, take a look, do you have any good countermeasures?" Tong Mu ignored Shopkeeper Wu's explanation, but glanced at Sun Tu and asked.

Sun Tu looked thoughtfully at the other small hotels on the side, which should be foot shops that are not allowed to make wine without permission, and can only sell wine from other main stores. Unlike here, there are also a lot of drinkers sitting in those small hotels at this time, which is in stark contrast to the desertion here.

At that moment, he raised his own question: "Shopkeeper Wu, our Liufangju can't compare to a main store like the Niulou Hotel, but even those small foot shops are better than our business, but there are some things that can't be said, right?" ”

"This ......" Shopkeeper Wu glanced at the young man who followed his second son in a few times with some vigilance, guessing the identity of the other party. Originally, he thought that this person was just a companion, but now it seems that he is not simple. After hesitating for a moment, he said again: "It's not that the wine sold by these small foot shops is much cheaper than our Liufangju, so many customers go to them. ”

Sun Tu nodded: "Is that the case?" That's a bit strange, since these foot shops have to sell wine from other stores, but we Liufangju are home-brewed wine, how can we still be compared to them in terms of price? ”

"You don't know this son, the main store has its own rules, whether the price of wine or vegetables is naturally higher than that of the foot shop, otherwise I am afraid that people will laugh at it." Shopkeeper Wu showed an expression that you really don't understand anything.

At this time, the guys in the store had already prepared all the food, and when the shopkeeper Wu saw it, he quickly changed the topic and asked Tong Mu to go to the private room on the second floor to sit down before replying. Tong Mu didn't refuse, and immediately followed him to the second floor, but he didn't notice that the shopkeeper Wu had taken this opportunity to give one of the guys a look, and the latter understood that after they went upstairs, he had already hurried out of the door.

The two sat down, and after taking a sip of sour plum soup to moisten their throats, Sun Tu spoke again: "Although there is some truth in what Shopkeeper Wu said, but now that Liufangju's business is so light, it can no longer stick to the rules." Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be laughed at by my peers. As one of the seventy-two main stores, even the business of those foot shops is much better than ours. ”

"This ......" Shopkeeper Wu couldn't come up with a statement for a while, and when he looked at Tong Mu again, he found that his owner's face was also a little ugly, so he could only say: "This is indeed a small lack of consideration, and it will be improved in the future." ”

"I also know you're going to be embarrassed, so I'd like to ask someone to help you this time." Tong Mu said and pointed at Sun Tu: "This Sun Gongzi's family originally opened a hotel, and I heard that he has a very good business in his hometown hotel......

Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper Wu suddenly became anxious: "Second son, the little one has always been loyal to you, hard work, although the recent sale of the restaurant has indeed failed, but you can't open me like this, I promise that I will have ideas in the future, and please give me a chance." ”

Tong Mu frowned, but he didn't get angry because the other party interrupted his speech, but said patiently: "I didn't want to take away your position as the shopkeeper, I just wanted San Lang to help you take care of it first." If he really has a good plan to make the business of Liufangju prosperous, you will also be good. ”

But no matter what he said, Shopkeeper Wu always refused to agree, but begged bitterly. Obviously, he understands his owner's character, and knows that he is the most soft-hearted, and maybe he will take back his life after some hard work.

At this time, Sun Tu was not easy to speak, after all, he was still an outsider, and he was likely to take the other party's place. But as a bystander, he already had some thoughts in his heart, this Wu shopkeeper's mind was not pure, and there must be some mystery hidden behind such a hard request.

After making a fuss like this for a while, suddenly there was a sound of rustling footsteps downstairs, and a young man strode up surrounded by a group of companions, and laughed when he saw Tong Mu: "Second son, you are really here!" "It was Zhou Yun who suddenly arrived.
