Chapter 22: Master Jishou(1/2)

After Sun Yixie and Yun Shili's tricks, the strange thing happened that night was roughly over. After all, there were only five witnesses who actually saw the Jade Tailed Immortal, and later, only the two of them and the Jade Tailed Immortal were aware of what the Jade Tailed Immortal said to Sun Yun and the others.

The servants in the Sun Mansion didn't see anything, so they were easy to pass; and Hu Qiu, Lord Lu and Master Wojian were both people with status, and they were very nervous and would not talk about gossip everywhere. Besides... If they really talked about such things everywhere, no one would believe them.

The next day, Yun Shili left the Sun Mansion with the "Go to Encounter Immortals in the Lake", and the matter came to an end.

In this way, two months passed in a blink of an eye.

Spring is gone and summer comes, and it is another midsummer.

That day, after dinner, Sun Yixie happened to be very idle, so he decided to go to the "Elegant West Lake" to stalk, which was considered a routine inspection.

Speaking of the West Lake elegant seat, it has been a daily stake in gold and is well-known recently. Not only is the lunch market full and there are many repeat customers, but even the "Kaizi Private Room" that opens at night is full every night, and even the reservation is scheduled for a month.

There is no doubt that Sun Yixie's business strategy is very plentiful, and Xue Tui, who is in charge of the operation of this restaurant, also made great contributions. In addition, the kitchen is dominated by Yuan Fangzhi and Zhang Ergui, two imperial chefs, are in charge, so it is difficult to make a deal.

However, there were not many storms in the past two months. The main reason is that some merchants who came from other places had the idea of ​​imitating this "high-end service" of West Lake Yazu. Many people even tried to pay a lot of money to poach Xue, Yuan and Zhang on the spot.

Of course, this kind of poaching cannot be successful...

It’s not that the bosses gave them the treatment as good as Sun Yixie, but because Sun Yixie was kind to Xue Tui, Yuan Fangzhi and Zhang Ergui - as the saying goes, adding icing on the cake is worse than giving timely help. Sun Yixie once helped these three people in the most difficult times, so they naturally need to repay their kindness.

More importantly, long before the restaurant opened, Sun Yixie had already given the "Taihe Gong Secret Recipe" he got from Lanruo Temple as a favor to Master Yuan and Zhang. For the chef, this is a priceless treasure. After receiving such a heavy gift, the debt of favor must be paid back until retirement.

"Oh! You are here at the young master!" The waiter in the elegant seat of West Lake was also sharp-eyed and clever. Sun Yixie was still far away from the gate. The friend who was in charge of welcoming guests at the door had already recognized him and greeted him.

"Ah... come and have a look." Sun Yixie responded and walked in.

Because it was a night market now, only the top two floors were open, so it was quite quiet when he walked into the lobby on this floor.

This is exactly the atmosphere that Sun Yixie wants to create.

He did not want those guests who came to the private room upstairs to see a messy and lively scene as soon as they entered the restaurant, and then walked through the noisy lobby to climb upstairs to sit down - this was the case with Gu Qiying's "Buguilou" at the time, and his user experience was not good.

Sun Yixie is hopeful. When those kids walked into the West Lake Elegant Seal, they immediately felt like they were entering a high-end club with a membership system.

"Shopkeeper Xue is greeting customers upstairs, why don't I invite him down for you?" The guy understood that Sun Yixie must have asked Shopkeeper Xue first when he came over, so he would not ask nonsense like "Young Master, what are you doing?", but asked this question directly.

"No need, you rest, I'll go up and look for him by myself." Sun Yixie waved his hand and signaled that the other party would not have to follow him, and then went up to the second floor.

Don’t underestimate this sentence “Stop”. Generally, bosses don’t say this to employees during work hours. Even if they say it, they are mostly sarcastic. However, Sun Yixie often tells this to his subordinates, and they all mean to let the other party rest seriously.

"Lacky" is human nature. Putting aside some special cases, most service and grassroots operational work have room for laziness, and there is indeed the need for laziness; proper laziness not only does not harm but can improve work efficiency. Most "sophisticated" employees can find a set of lazy methods that do not affect efficiency and are suitable for themselves... For such employees, smart managers will choose to turn a blind eye. As long as they complete the work they should do, it is a good thing, while incompetent managers will hold on to all kinds of trivial disciplines like Zhou Pai, and even limit others' time to go to the toilet, which in the end will reduce the enthusiasm and efficiency of employees' work, or force people away.

Take this guy for example. He is both strong and smart, and can speak. There are not many guests in the Elegant Night Market in West Lake. When someone comes in, he will naturally stand respectfully at the door to welcome the guests. What about when there is no one?

If you ask a boss who always thinks of "squeezing every part of the workforce of employees", you will definitely ask him to stand like a flagpole when there is no one, and you will deduct money if you catch it once and don't stand well. This way... In the end, either the person will affect his status when he is welcomed after standing for a long time, or the person will be deducted too much money, or feel that he is too hard to stand, and it is not worth it, so he simply quit.

But Sun Yixie is different. He is well versed in human nature. Besides, he is a very lazy person, so he will never make such mistakes. Every time he calls his subordinates to a meeting, he will clearly state: "As long as it does not affect your work, you can rest, don't be polite to me, I won't pay more if you are polite."

In the past six months, even Xue Tui has learned the method of Sun Yixie's management. After using it, he called "Young Master is unfathomable, Xue is too shallow in the past."

Get back to the point...

Let’s talk about Sun Yixiu, who went all the way to the top floor by himself.

By chance, he had just stepped on the corridor on that floor and was standing next to the railing when he met Mr. Xue. But for some reason... the latter's face was now showing a very tangled look.

"Hey! Mr. Xue, you..." Sun Yixie had not had time to say hello to the other party.

Xue Tui leaned forward and quickly lowered his voice and snatched: "Shh--Young Master, let me talk with you."

So do you think that a working shopkeeper dares to "boo" his young boss? In fact, it depends on the situation, and you dare to have a good relationship. In ancient times, there were those who had a good relationship with the master and servant, and there were also those who were like family members, and those who were brothers and enemies, which were all divided.

The relationship between Xue Tui and Sun Yixie is obviously good. When Sun Yixi saw Mr. Xue like this, he knew that something must be wrong, so he didn't say anything, and followed Xue Tui and returned to the third floor.

"What's wrong?" Sun Yixie guessed casually, "Is it... a guest who is not easy to greet?"

His intuition is quite accurate.

"It's not that it's not easy to greet..." Xue Tui replied, "It's easy to greet, hello, and he's very polite, and he's satisfied with the food, just..." He said this, and looked up and rolled his eyes, "I suspect he didn't carry any money."

"What!" When Sun Yixie heard the three words "I didn't bring money", his voice suddenly increased by dozens of decibels. "Tell me in detail, who is this person? What's going on?"

"When he entered the door, he was alone, and he didn't bring his servants or his name. He said he wanted the best private room." Xue Tui also looked embarrassed and replied truthfully, "We have encountered such a person... If he was ragged, dirty, or abominable, and had a scattered look... Then we wouldn't be polite to him, just think he was here to eat the king's meal and knock it out; but I see that boy's dress is not as generous as he is, but he is quite decent, and his appearance is really good, not like an ordinary person, nor like a hooligan... We dare not offend him if he is really a dignified official and dressed in a low-key manner, as soon as he entered the door, I was stunned to ask someone to take his pocket to see if he brought money with me... that would be inappropriate."

"Well..." Sun Yixie nodded and continued, "So you'll receive him normally?"

"Oh... let's open the door to do business, can't we receive him?" Xue thrust back, "After I took him into the 'Da Vinci Code', he ordered all the best dishes here and ordered a full jar of good wine. By this time he had been in the table for more than an hour... I made excuses to enter his house to greet him several times, and he greeted him with a smile, but I couldn't even tell me his surname. The more I thought about it, the more I felt wrong..." As he spoke, Mr. Xue's eyes rolled up again and said, "I just came out of his house, and I met you, Master, look at this..."

"Okay, Mr. Xue, don't worry, you leave this matter to me." Sun Yixie was 70% sure that the man was here to eat the King's meal, so he said, "I'll go in and talk to him for a while. If he really comes to eat and drink for free, I will definitely be able to see him through it after a few words... At that time, I can handle it myself if I can handle it myself, so I can't handle it... Whether we go to the yamen to call people or add medicine or put out cigarettes, there is always a way."

"Then... Master, be careful," Xue pushed.

"I know, just watch it." Sun Yixie said, turned around and went back to the stairs, heading straight to the best "Da Vinci Code" of the family.

Twist -

He didn't act rashly, but knocked on the door politely.

"Enter." The voice of a man came from the door. He sounded like he was not old, he was quite energetic and was already a little drunk.

Sun Yixie opened the door when she heard the sound. Unexpectedly, he was at the door and looked at the person in the room, hey! Meet.

Who is this person in the room?

This person's surname is Tang and his name is Weizhi. He is the 19th generation disciple of the Kongtong Sect of "Formerly" but has been expelled from the master.

As mentioned in the previous document, Tang Weizhi once competed with Song Xiang in the "100-day Struggle" in Runan City, but was defeated by the "Shadowless Sword" Zhao Tiaotiao; Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji witnessed the whole process in the audience at that time, so naturally they had an impression of his face.

"Hey? Why are you?" Sun Yixie said before she could speak, but Tang Weizhi recognized him, so she blurted out this sentence.

"Oh?" Seeing that the other party was reacting, Sun Yixie calmly and tentatively followed the flow, "Brother, do you recognize me?"

"Ha..." Tang Weizhi smiled and responded, "It's not surprising that the famous 'Dongxie' is recognized, right?"

Since Sun Yixie returned to Hangzhou, he has not dealt with people in the martial arts world, so he still doesn't know that after half a year, under the operation of the concubine, "East Healing and Western Poison" has long become a well-known figure in the martial arts world. Many of the previous deeds of Sun and Huang have been exaggerated and fermented in various "planned" rumors... This has led to a very strange situation, that is, in the six months when they did not set foot in the martial arts world, their reputation has become more prosperous than before.

"Oh..." Sun Yixie didn't react immediately after hearing what he said. However, he recalled that as soon as Tang Weizhi got off the stage, he rushed up to challenge Song Xiang and even reported his name. It was normal for Tang Weizhi to recognize him, "That... I actually recognize you too, I wonder if you still remember..."

"Of course I remember." Tang Weizhi said before Brother Sun finished speaking, "I was plotted against the 'shadowless sword' on the ring that day. The people around me couldn't see it, but I guess Young Master Sun saw it, so you were furious on the spot and came out to speak up for me, right?"

This was his misunderstanding...

Brother Sun would jump up and scold Song Xiang that day, not because of the incident of Tang Weizhi being plotted, but because he bet ten taels of silver in the nearby handicap to bet on Tang Weizhi's victory, but Tang Weizhi was defeated by the incident. If Brother Sun had bet Song Xiangying that day, he would probably turn his head and leave happily, and there would not be any of the subsequent events.

"Hahaha... this is what it should be." Of course, Sun Yixie would not tell the truth to Tang Weizhi. Anyway, Huang Donglai is not here now, and no one can expose him, so he can create history at will. "As the saying goes, "When you see injustice, you will take action when it's time to take action... I always hate evil in daily life."

"Hahaha, okay! It's worthy of being Sun Yixie." Tang Weizhi also responded with a smile, "Come on, Young Master Sun, Tang, I wish you a cup."

"So your surname is Tang, brother?" Sun Yixie said, and took the door casually and walked to the table and sat down naturally.

"Oh! Haha... Look at me... I've drunk too much, almost forgot... I haven't reported myself yet." Tang Weizhi said with a little drunkenness, and raised his hand to pour a glass of wine for Sun Yixie. "Tang Weizhi is Kong..." He almost said the words "Kongtong Sect", but when he spoke, his mind still reacted, and he had to smile bitterly and continued, "... It's a idle person."

Sun Yixie took the wine glass handed over by the other party and replied: "It turns out it's Brother Tang, I'm lucky to meet you."

"I dare not, I dare not, Tang Mouxu is just a few years older, and I can't compare to you, Young Master Sun." Tang Weizhi's tone was a bit sad, and at the same time he held his arms and saluted, picked up his wine glass and said, "Come on, I'll toast you."

"Dry."

"Dry!"

The two of them touched the wine glasses and drank them one by one, Tang Weizhi said first: "By the way, Young Master Sun, why are you here in the West Lake Elegant Seat? How could you knock on my door?"

"Hmm?" Sun Yixiu didn't seem to be asking the other party knowingly, and said suspiciously, "What? Don't you know? I run this restaurant."

"Hiss--" Tang Weizhi's face changed when he heard this. He was both embarrassed and ashamed.

He is not very scheming at all, and he has drunk a lot of alcohol at this moment, so basically all his emotions are written on his face.

Then why did he react like this?

The book here secretly states that Tang Weizhi is here to eat the King of Kings meal today.

As mentioned in the previous document, Tang Weizhi had a problem when he was still in Kongtong Sect - he liked to gambling; he was expelled from the sect because he was angry and accidentally killed a rogue who came to ask for money.

After that, he became an idle person in the world. When he had the chance, he would catch a few thieves who were left alone, either rob them directly or send them to the government to get some money. If he didn't have that chance, he would just beg for food.

He has long since wanted the face of the "Kongtong Sect Senior Brother". This is why he would go to the stage to fight with an outsider like Song Xiang for a reward of 100 taels of silver in Runan City.

Of course, no matter how poor Tang Weizhi is, he is still better than the "Red Plum Bree". Because Tang Weizhi himself is also a miserable person, even if he sells his dignity, he will not do anything to oppress the poor people.

So what happened to him coming here today?

The reason is very simple...he is hungry.

Since the last time Runan parted, Tang Weizhi's wandering life has continued, and he has just arrived in Hangzhou Prefecture in the past few days.

When he entered the city, he still had some money on his body, but... after entering the city, he ran to the gambling house for less than a long time, and he had no money after coming out. If it weren't for the gambling house that could only bet money but not property, he would probably have lost all this pretty good dress on him.

As time went by, the public security in Hangzhou was very good recently. Tang Weizhi wandered around the city for two days but didn't meet a thief, so he was hungry for two days.

He really couldn't stand it today. He thought that even if he died, I couldn't starve to death. I'll go have a meal.

As I just said, Tang Weizhi does not oppress the poor people, but he has no good feelings for those rich people. In his opinion, most local tyrants and evil gentry are similar to those of Song Xiang, especially the bigger the business, the darker the people's hearts are.

So he asked people on the street and asked which restaurant is the most luxurious and expensive in Hangzhou? They told him - West Lake Yazu.

If Tang Weizhi could listen to people finish talking and knew that this place was opened by Sun Yixi, he might not have come, but he didn't finish listening...

According to the part he heard, he thought: This kind of place where you only receive high-quality customers at night is a private room, and you can't get in without a hundred tael silver. It's definitely a black shop... You have earned so much money, so I'll eat you all today, right? If I misunderstand, then you beat me and I will accept it when I see the official. At least there is food in prison.

After making up his mind, Tang Weizhi's overlord meal operation began...

But he never expected that when he was halfway through eating, he met Sun Yixie and learned that this West Lake Yamao was Sun's property.
To be continued...
