Chapter 25 Inadvertently inserting willows
The shopkeepers can probably guess why Wang Tong is popular. This young owner is also feeling his own life experience, and this is popular. Filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. Wang usually hates that he does not have the opportunity to fulfill his filial piety. When encountering such a thing, he naturally cannot bear it.
This is just a small episode in normal business. As the number of customers in the store gradually increases, people are forgotten.
On the night of the 17th day of the 12th lunar month, some secluded house.
This place looks like the side hall of the middle and upper house. Everything is very simple. Sitting on it is a woman wearing a wooden hairpin, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and sighing:
"I thought I would be as good as usual, but I didn't expect that I came over to greet you. This child has grown up and I'm really good to go out and relax..."
The middle-aged man in the outerwear uniform was not as majestic as outside. He stood down respectfully. He heard the above words, and couldn't help but smile and describe what he encountered in the delicacies restaurant. Finally, he said:
"... Maybe someone who has nothing to do will stop drinking and touches his heartstrings..."
The woman raised her head, and her face, who was less than forty, was full of majesty and said in a solemn voice:
"Now, no news can be hidden here. It's very wise outside. That little man is not allowed to approach him because he has some intentions. Check it out!"
The middle-aged man quickly bowed and agreed, but he didn't dare to look up. As soon as he said dismissal, he heard the woman say casually:
"Don't talk about these things to Mr. Zhang..."
On the night of the next day, it was also in this secluded house.
".........I am thirteen years old, lost my father in the middle of the year, and I have no relatives in the capital. I set up this restaurant myself. The business is pretty good, but I have a strong temper. I have beaten my colleagues and people who are provoking them, but I have not suffered any loss..."
The middle-aged man said in detail, and the woman listened carefully. After the introduction below, she smiled and nodded in comment.
"...I'm almost the same age. Well, a lonely child shouldn't have any scheming when he can say this. I guess he is a sincere and capable person..."
On the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, there was no decrease in the number of customers in the afternoon in the store, and there were always one-half of the seats in the store.
It seems that the passenger flow has not changed much, and Wang Tong finally felt relieved and told Zhang Shiqiang to go out by himself.
Although there are only two local shops on South Street that are still open, Juyifang is still very popular. People who are gambling on weekdays have even more leisure time in the twelfth lunar month. At the end of the year, they have to pay back all their debts this year, so they have to go outside to hide from their debts. Take this opportunity to make a fortune, and maybe they can still pay them back.
Wang Tong walked to the door of Juyifang, clasped his fists and said with a smile:
"Wang Tong, the owner of the delicious restaurant, please see Manager He from Guifang."
Wang Tong, who had no clothes, wore this Jinyiwei Feiyu suit every day. The big man standing at the door looked at him quite alert. When he heard this, he looked at each other and said:
"Sir, please wait a moment, and the younger ones will pass it down!"
When it comes to the Jinyiwei wearing this robe, the guards of this gambling house are so cold and do not invite them in first. They just talk about the news. From this, we can see that the gambling house is really fearless and has a deep background.
The guard who entered the cross-transmission came out soon after, and said politely with a smile on his face:
"My shopkeeper is invited, so come with me."
The air in the gambling house was quite dirty, and every gambling table was surrounded by people, shouting and shouting, and even the dealer inside could not see his face, but could only see his hands holding the dice cup high.
Some gamblers were holding a piece of sesame cake in their hands and shouting while eating, and were still scolding:
"I'll buy a pancake when I get out, but I can't squeeze in when I come back. I'm wasting my good luck!!"
He Jinyin, wearing a blue satin cotton robe, was in the side room behind the gambling house, sitting on a chair with a golden knife and drinking, a silver wine pot was warming in the casserole next to it.
"Spark guest, do you want to play a few times when you come to the despise?"
He Jinyin stood up and hugged his fists, sat down casually, and said carelessly, Wang Tong didn't care. He was just a small pawn in Jinyi's personal army. How many capable people in the capital would take him seriously? He smiled and clasped his fists and said:
"Thank you Brother He for your kindness. Actually, I want to make some money in Brother He's place this time?"
Hearing this, He Jinyin touched his bald head, but his face turned cold and he said coldly:
"Brother, I can't make a decision, Lord Wang, do you know who the owner of this store is?"
"Of course, Brother He made the decision. I saw that the gamblers in the gambling house were jogging out to buy some dry food at noon, and then came back to gamble again. The business on the gambling table was always delayed by the time of walking away. It would be better to just let the restaurant on my side accept all these foods. First, it was convenient and fast to eat, and second, it was not delayed by the kung fu on the gambling table. Brother He, what do you think?"
He Jinyin was stunned at first, and thought for a while before nodding slowly. In the eyes of people in this era, if you make money, someone will definitely make less or lose money. However, Wang Tong's suggestion is good for both parties. He Jinyin thought about it for a long time and always felt that there was a fraud, but he couldn't think of any fraud.
And this is indeed a good suggestion, especially during the New Year Festival, when gamblers in the gambling house go out to buy food, the gambling house becomes deserted and earns a lot of money.
He Jinyin thought that Wang Tong's identity was the owner of the delicious restaurant. Then look at the robe of the Jinyiwei on the other party. The other party's proposal was not in any way for him, so he agreed.
Wang Tong smiled when he came out of the gambling house. The gambling house was the most crowded place in the entire Nan Street. These gamblers were unwilling to leave the gambling table. If there was a place to buy and sell food nearby, it would just meet their needs.
Those who can gamble here usually don’t care about a few cents. As long as you make it cheap and clean, the taste will definitely attract these guests.
Because the business in the store has improved, the delicious restaurant will recruit people in large quantities. However, this fast food is very important to maintain the quality of service and diet. Customers have no loyalty. If you want to keep customers and keep them prosperous, you must conduct strict training. Wang Tong has already planned to serve the food and welcome and farewell in the gambling house at that time. The gamblers don’t care much about the taste, which gives the new and old friends a room for growth.
When he returned to the entrance of the delicious restaurant, Wang Tong saw many eunuchs and imperial guards wandering on the street. He was in a good mood and couldn't help but smile and shake his head. It was cold and most of the shops on the street were closed, so what's the place to go?
He opened the curtain and entered the store, but saw that the store was empty, with only the fat man who was called an unfilial person by him, and the middle-aged man sitting in the store.
