Chapter 5: Realized
With the Zhou family in mind, Qin Shaoyou always felt that his restaurant was being spyed by something, not afraid of thieves stealing but afraid of thieves being missed. Under this sense of crisis, Qin Shaoyou planned to start his business quickly, earn money, and pay off all the accounts so as not to leave any disaster.
Now he can only rely on this restaurant. As for Qin Shou... this cousin is unreliable and can add icing on the cake, so he doesn't expect him to help him in time.
However, there were many boxes of books in his bedroom. When he opened the books, Qin Shaoyou saw lines of small characters on fly heads. Surrounded by the fragrance of books, Qin Shaoyou thought of the scene where the fool used to write his reading experience here. Ranran Oil lamp, the pale and thin boy always kept himself here, reading tirelessly every day, and what he did was probably to shine his lintel.
Qin Shaoyou shook his head in his heart. The person who lived in his own world was so great, and he... finally had to face reality. He closed the book and seemed to be cultivated by this sentiment. He began to secretly hate him again. If the inscription was not the King of Dai, if the prince became the emperor, maybe he really had the opportunity to use it to find a job, at least one shortcut than the nerd before. Wow, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep. Qin Shaoyou felt that he was worried. He wanted to be an official, and he wanted to become a successful person. All he wanted to be a fame and fortune was bullshit. He was one step away from becoming successful, but he was gone.
My heart and soul are so painful.
Well, back to reality, running a restaurant is the reason.
Ruchun Restaurant opened as usual, but... the situation is a bit bad.
All day, Qin Shaoyou stood lazily behind the counter, while Qin Shou was rubbing the spotless tables and chairs.
Because... there are no guests.
That's right, people in Luoyang passed by restaurants as if they saw flies, and they couldn't help but speed up. Occasionally, a group of merchants from other places were confused, but when they looked in, they ran away.
There was not a single diner at noon. How dare those outsiders come to eat? Even though Qin Shaoyou looked harmless, he was just a scissor hand on his face, pretending to be cute and stupid, but he still couldn't avoid it.
"It's not a solution to continue like this."
Qin Shaoyou narrowed his eyes. He was a human being for two lifetimes, but he didn't believe that he could not solve this problem.
But in the evening, someone came.
The person who came was as dark as he was. According to his memory, Qin Shaoyou vaguely remembered that this person was the head of the Zhou family. In fact, when his father was there, the Zhou family had a good relationship with his father because he was a fellow traveler. However, as soon as his father died, the other party immediately turned his face. The headman came in and glanced at Qin Shaoyou, with a formal tone and said coldly: "The head of Qin..."
Qin Shaoyou saw that he was not good at coming, but he did a lot of effort in face, so he bowed and said, "It turns out it's Uncle Liu."
Shu Liu's real name is Liu Yang. He is said to be a loser. Later, he managed the account for the Zhou family. Gradually, as the Zhou family's business grew, he became Mr. Zhou's confidant. He was still cold and said, "I came here, I just passed on a sentence. You owed a lot of silver on credit, with more than 90 taels of silver. Now the account has been moved to my master. You are not good at managing the business, but you should give the shop to my master. My master and your father are old acquaintances, and you will always place a place for you."
Sure enough, I came here, and the picture was revealed.
Qin Shaoyou said: "It is natural to repay the debt. If you earn money, you will pay it back."
Liu Yang stroked his goatee, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Your Ruchun Restaurant's business has plummeted. Look at it yourself, are there diners here? You are not a businessman, and you can't afford to support this family business. Why do you have to go all the way? Master Zhou told you to pay it back tomorrow. If you can't pay it back, you will have to buy a shop."
Qin Shaoyou thought to himself that they were really good at calculating. Now they are holding bills in black and white and come to ask for them in a blink of an eye, and most of them can't wait.
Seeing Liu Yang being aggressive, Qin Shaoyou pretended to be stupid and said intentionally or unintentionally: "You want to do my business, isn't it just for that plaque?"
"What... are you talking nonsense?" Liu Yang couldn't help but scold him angrily.
In fact, the sentence just now was just a test of Qin Shaoyou, and Liu Yang's excessive reaction immediately made Qin Shaoyou understand that his guess was correct. All the methods were for that plaque, the crown prince... suddenly died... inscription... Zhou family... This series of things made Qin Shaoyou feel that he had caught a little, but he had not yet clarified what it was.
Qin Shaoyou said seriously: "Are you talking nonsense? You know in your heart that you want to collect the debt? I can buy it for the restaurant and pay it back, but this plaque is a property of our Qin family. If you go to see the official tomorrow, at worst I will take the plaque away. In the end, you won't get anything. If you don't believe it, then you might as well try it. I will see you in our yamen tomorrow."
This guy is full of confidence, which makes Liu Yang suddenly unable to withstand it.
I thought this fool was easy to bully, but who knew that this person was quite scheming. The chess trick made the opponent see the trump card clearly, but he became a little passive.
The Zhou family is indeed the idea of the plaque. The so-called acquisition of a restaurant is just an additional item, but the real goal is still the plaque.
Now Qin Shaoyou said it in person, and Mingyan could not leave with the plaque and slapped his butt. Then wouldn’t all the Zhou family’s plans be like a bamboo basket to get water?
Liu Yang's face was shocked and suspicious, and he just used a sneer to cover up his panic.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Qin Shaoyou smiled and said, "But, since you have liked that plaque, and I still want to try it again. If you are only one month's time, if I earn money and pay back the bill in a month, then you Mr. Zhou will be unlucky. But if I am not lucky, I still can't pay it back. Not only will this restaurant be sold to you, but the plaque is also considered as interest. How about it?"
Liu Yang's face was gloomy. He never thought that this nerd was so powerful, which made him passive everywhere. The conditions proposed by Qin Shaoyou were reasonable. He couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay, I'll go back and say to Dongweng, don't regret it."
Liu Yang had no intention of staying here and left with a smile.
Watching Liu Yang leave, a question emerged in Qin Shaoyou's mind. Since the Zhou family's goal is indeed that plaque, then what is the use of plaque?
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou was determined to find out.
However, at the moment, it seems that the biggest problem is still to make money and pay back the debt. If the business cannot be done, the plaque will be gone. What is the use of it?
The biggest problem with restaurants now is that they are trapped in a vicious cycle. The less guests there are, no one dares to eat here, and no one dines here, and no one dares to come.
Therefore, Qin Shaoyou decided to use some special means.
…………………………………
"Wow... the food here is so delicious! I have never eaten such a delicious dish in my life, wow..."
Early in the morning, a loud sound almost shocked the tiles of the restaurant, and the sound of tearing the bottom of the sound rushed out of the sky.
Sitting here for dinner was a man, about twenty years old, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, sitting here with a feast, and roaring from time to time.
This person is Deng Jian, a friend invited by Qin Shaoyou to Qin Shou. Although he didn't spend any money to hire him, he promised to provide three meals for free. Yes, this is a tutor.
Qin Shaoyou seemed extremely dissatisfied with this guy. His eardrums were tortured. He quickly stepped forward and said heartbrokenly: "Brother Deng, you are too exaggerating. Are you attracting customers or driving them? I invite you to come, not to teach you how superficial it is. The actor's self-cultivation comes from the inside out..."
Deng Jian ate with a slut, raised his eyes, slanted his eyes, and said in a squirming manner: "What are you saying? It's delicious. Qin Shou asked me to come, just to make me shout like this. My throat is smoking. What else do you want?"
Qin Shaoyou was furious, but he still said earnestly with the attitude of curing diseases and saving people: "You must be subtle, and you should not scream at all times. People who don't know think this is a black shop, and you have to show your qualities. Only by being polite can you attract customers. Brother Deng, try it a few times, don't hurry, come slowly."
Deng Jian's mouth was full of food and he said vaguely: "I am like this, what can you do?"
Qin Shaoyou became popular and stretched out his hand: "Checkout, I have eaten so much food, give me money."
Deng Jian sneered and said slowly: "After all, I am a hero in Luoyang, and I don't pay for any place to eat."
hero……
Qin Shaoyou widened his eyes and said, "This is a gangster."
He hurriedly grabbed Qin Shou and whispered: "Where is this Deng's origin? Isn't it a rascal?"
Qin Shou smiled bitterly and said, "Cousin, what kind of 'guarantor' do you think you want to find that 'guarantor' in Luoyang City, who is willing to do this except for such a low-ranking person?"
You really killed me.
Qin Shaoyou was in tears, and the passing years was not good, so he had to go back and say to Deng Jian: "Brother Deng..."
Deng Jian was afraid that Qin Shaoyou would ask him for money, so he immediately glared at him and shouted: "What do you want? I ate your food and eat it. The lord is happy and I will come here often in the future. Do you want money? If you don't have money, you will have one life!"
“…”
Qin Shaoyou wanted to rush up to grab his ears and bit his neck. He had no choice but to have no combat power. Moreover, seeing that this person's waist was full of weapons, could it be a weapon?
Seeing Qin Shaoyou being stunned, Deng Jian found out with conscience, and raised his feet and clenched his toes, comforted Qin Shaoyou, "Mr. Qin, I know you, you are a scholar. Deng respects the most is a scholar. Do you think I bully you in normal times? Today you are treating me to a meal, and your meal is really delicious. I remember your kindness. You turned against others just now. If it were someone else, the old man would have given him a knife, but you are different. I will come to you to eat in the future. You scholars are not there.
The saying goes, "Fengze in the seeds? If you hurt you, where will I go to make a living?" The tea shop at the end of the street, who was surnamed Wang, didn't know whether you recognized him or not. I only ate a few cakes and a few pots of tea. He actually said bad things about me behind my back. I didn't say anything, and beat him directly. Look, he learned his lesson and greeted me with a smile. What happened later? I became friends with him. The more I beat him, the more I wanted to get close to him. In this way, when others saw him, they knew, oh, it turns out that Mr. Deng was not a bad temper, but also very righteous."
This man surnamed Deng was threatening inside and outside. Qin Shaoyou's face was a little pale at first, but later, a light flashed across his eyes: "What did you say just now?"
"I said Mr. Deng is not a bad temper..."
"No, no, that sentence before."
"The more I hit him, the closer I get to him."
Qin Shaoyou's body trembled and he was stunned for a moment.
He seemed to be crazy, and suddenly understood.
