[Red House] Release a concubine and have children

After hearing from Wei Yan that he asked Lin Ruhai to sign a contract, everyone in the family was overjoyed, but after laughing, everyone was really relieved that the Lin family had contacted Brother Jin

Although Brother Jin is not Wei Yan's biological child, his heart is full of flesh, let alone Brother Jin's temper is so good?After getting along for such a long time, not to mention Wei Yan who has long regarded Brother Jin as his own, and Wei Ruolan who regarded Brother Jin as his own brother, even the two old people regarded Brother Jin as their own. own grandson.Under such circumstances, knowing that Brother Jin's biological father wanted to approach and recognize him, the two old people were even more nervous than the rest of the family.

Unlike Fu Li, the two old men didn't think there was anything wrong with Brother Jin's recognition of his ancestors, but they were also reluctant to let Brother Jin leave the Dingweihou Mansion. Now that they are bound by the contract, everyone is happy.

It's just that the contract is in place, and everyone can rest assured that the Lin family has contacted Brother Jin, but Lin Ruhai's appointment has also come down.

The right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of a series of affairs such as national laws and regulations, sacrifices, reading, imperial examinations, and reception of foreign guests. It does not sound important enough, but it matches Lin Ruhai's background in Tanhua and his status as a scholarly family. If he enters the Ministry of Rites, he will encounter resistance. It will be much smaller, as long as there is no problem with temper, maybe you can get along well in it in the future.

Most importantly, this position is very leisurely.

Lin Ruhai is very satisfied with this position.

It's just that no matter how idle the position is, Lin Ruhai will inevitably have a lot of work to take over when he first enters.After taking office, Lin Ruhai left early and returned almost every day, even if he wanted to see Brother Jin, he still couldn't find the time.

Brother Jin was a little disappointed at first, but when he heard that Lin Ruhai was entangled in business affairs and couldn't come to see him for the time being, he was calm, put aside other thoughts, and immersed himself in reading.

This day is a rare day off, Jin Geer and Lan Geer planned to go for a walk together after getting up in the morning

The rules of ethnology are strict, and there is only one day off a month.Fu Li has always advocated a balance between work and rest. Since the two children have read books for a month before, and it is rare to meet a holiday, of course they should open up and play as much as they want. The cashier went to withdraw the money, and then went out to play with his little friends.

Naturally, this day was also the same, but when the two walked to the door, they met Fu Li and Wei Yan by chance and were about to get into the carriage.

The two looked at each other, and hurriedly walked up to salute.Lang Geer asked, "Father, mother, where are you two going?"

It's a coincidence, although Wei Yan also has time to rest and take a bath every month, which also coincides with the holiday of the ethnology school, but usually Wei Yan either stays at home when he takes a bath, or even though he takes a bath, he still has a lot of official business , so the two children never had the opportunity to go out with Wei Yan on the holiday.

Now that I ran into it, I was naturally curious.

Wei Yan took a look at Fu Li and said with a smile: "After your mother went out for a stroll before, she seemed to think that this activity could relax her body and mind, so this time, taking advantage of the holiday for her father, she brought me out again She's carrying something."

As soon as the words fell, Fu Li, who was standing beside him, turned his head and gave him a blank look: "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the two children?"

Then he turned his head to look at Brother Jin and Brother Lan, "Today is the day of checking the accounts. There is nothing wrong with my stores in the capital. Tomorrow your brother Cai Li will come with the account book. I will wait at home That's it. But when the old lady used to manage the properties of the Dingweihou Mansion, she would go there in person at the end of each month to check the situation. By the way, she would also knock on the shopkeepers and check the books. The old lady would take these The management of the property is very good, but a big move can easily cause dissatisfaction among the shopkeepers, so after I took over these properties, I didn’t make any changes, and I still followed the old lady’s original management method.”

After the two children listened, they instantly understood what was going on.

only……

They turned to look at Wei Yan.

Fu Li chuckled: "Your father is considerate of me. He saw that I had a good time shopping last time, so he followed me here today, and proposed to go shopping with me after checking the accounts. By the way, he can take things in the hands of the servants." When it's full, help me get something."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wei Yan with threats in her eyes.

Wei Yan coughed and could only nod his head.

Although it was true that he himself offered to accompany Fu Li out, he must have said that he wanted to spend more time with Fu Li, but he never said that he wanted to go shopping with her to get things.Obviously it was Fu Li who heard that he wanted to go out with her, and suddenly proposed the idea of ​​going shopping together after checking the accounts...

But in the face of Fu Li's eye threat, he still chose to acquiesce.

However, the two children are also used to this scene, and they just regard it as a small interest between husband and wife, and don't take it to heart at all.

The two children looked at each other, and then Brother Jin walked up to Fu Li and said, "Mother, it just so happens that we have no other arrangements today. If you just want to check the accounts and go shopping, can we go with you? Although we are old You're still young, but you have a lot of strength, how can I help you carry something by the way, can't you? You can't let daddy suffer alone."

Fu Li blinked, and looked at Wei Yan jokingly: "Father, what do you think? Why don't you go today and let the two children accompany me, brother Jin and Brother Lan My son hasn't gone out alone for a long time, and shopping together today is a rare parent-child time."

Wei Yan instantly became expressionless, met Fu Li's eyes, and said seriously: "Let's forget it, the two of them are still children, even if they are strong, how many things can they carry? Besides, as a mother, you are really When it comes time to carry things, are you really willing to bother the two children? Why not just let them find friends to play with and go shopping, I am enough."

Just kidding, it's been a long time since the last time I went shopping, and he and Fu Li haven't had much time to spend alone since then. If it weren't for that, why would he propose to accompany Fu Li to check the accounts? Even after going shopping today, you still haven't refused?

Now that the two brats want to squeeze into the middle of their husband and wife, it's really outrageous!

After hearing Wei Yan's words, Brother Jin just smiled blindly, thinking that such a father is really fun.He blinked and turned to look at Fu Li: "Mother, it's rare for my son to have a vacation, so why not go out with you? Father can take a bath twice a month, but son only has one day a month." holiday."

Fu Li blinked, of course she wanted to agree, but when she saw Wei Yan staring at Brother Jin from the corner of her eye, it was a little funny, so she wanted to refuse.

How much does Brother Jin know about Fu Li?With just one look from her, Brother Jin knew that Fu Li had changed his mind, so he stretched out his hand to hold Fu Li's hand, and acted like a baby in the same childish voice as when he was a child: "My son wants to go out to play with mother. Doesn’t the mother want to be with her son? In the past, the son only heard that when there is a stepfather, there will be a stepmother. I haven’t heard of the stepfather who just throws the son aside and goes to the world of two people. "Mother, let us go together."

Fu Li was dumbfounded, and then smiled and nodded: "You two want to be coolies for me so much, what reason do I have for refusing?"

Wei Yan: "..."

He really wanted to say why there was no reason for the refusal. The two children interposed between their husband and wife and disturbed the harmony of their husband and wife. Couldn't Ann be the reason?But Fu Li has already made a decision, even if he can say Hua Er at this time, it is impossible to change Fu Li's mind.

Sure enough, these two children were too exasperating.

Especially Brother Jin, who will be able to get married in five or six years. At such an advanced age, he can still shamelessly act like a baby with his wife. It is really too thick-skinned. Wei Yan secretly decided that he must "educate well" Educate "Brother Jin, let him know that doing so is a very shameful thing.

Brother Jin inadvertently looked back and saw Wei Yan's malicious eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and then guessed that he was probably dissatisfied with him for going with Fu Li to inspect the shop, etc. Not only was he not worried that he would treat him What about me? Instead, I looked back at Wei Yan provocatively.

Anyway, no matter what bad idea daddy is planning, he just needs to let his mother inform him in advance, and daddy can't do anything.

The two men, one big and one small, stared at each other like this, and the place where their eyes met was like thunder and lightning, which made people laugh and speechless.

Fu Li just smiled and shook his head, then turned around and went to the carriage to sort things out.

Wei Ruolan looked at everything in front of her with a dazed face, very suspicious of her own eyes

When did his majestic and inviolable father become so naive, a man so tall and big, so narrow-minded enough to care about a child like Brother Jin?

Wei Ruolan blinked, the awe-inspiring and inviolable image of Wei Yan in his heart before collapsed like this, and there is no way to put it together again.

Wei Yan didn't know that his image in his son's heart had changed drastically. After Fu Li boarded the carriage, he gave the two children a warning look, and then directly opened the curtain and sat in.

Brother Jin was provoked by his eyes, snorted, and actually followed behind Wei Yan, wanting to follow into the carriage.

Wei Ruolan was taken aback, and quickly stopped the person: "Brother Jin, please calm down, you want to accompany your parents to inspect the shops of Dingweihou Mansion, and you want to accompany your mother There is still a reason to go shopping, but you insist on squeezing into your parents' carriage and walking with you all the way..."

"You're not worried about embarrassment on the road, I'm still worried." Wei Ruolan thought that when she was at home, the couple's occasional eye contact seemed to have a sticky atmosphere that made people feel uncomfortable. Sitting in a carriage with them felt unbearable, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself, I will explain in advance, I won't go in."

With that said, he turned around and was about to get into the carriage that the servant had just prepared.

Brother Jin looked at his parents' carriage, then at the carriage Wei Ruolan approached, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned his direction: "Forget it, I won't disturb your getting along this time. But if Daddy wants to use it next time Looking at me like this, I don't care if it will disturb your relationship."

Wei Ruolan had just stepped into the carriage, when she heard Brother Jin's words, she couldn't help but laugh: "You are really..."

Brother Jin smiled, and walked to the carriage in three steps at a time. When Wei Ruolan entered, he jumped into the carriage, and then followed into the carriage.

As Fu Li said, the business of Dingwei Hou Mansion is managed very well by the old lady. Although because of the old lady's temperament, there are some cases of corruption by relying on her status, but because the relationship with the old lady is not close Well, the courage of these people has not been raised, even if there are some petty thefts, the number is not too big.

After Fu Li checked the accounts in the Dingweihou Mansion before, he directly asked people to send the accounts of these shops to his hands. He didn't know that she was too merciless to the servants of the Dingweihou Mansion. Or the fate of Wei Xin and others is too frightening. Anyway, it was sent together with the account books of these shops, and there are also the gaps made up by the shopkeepers of each shop.

Originally, there was not much greed, and before checking the accounts, he consciously patched up all the loopholes. Even if Fu Li wanted to kill the chicken to make an example of the monkey, he couldn't find the chicken, so after struggling for a while, he resolutely handled everyone lightly. , After punishing these shopkeepers twice the amount of money they embezzled, they directly wiped out the accounts, just as if this matter did not exist.

So this time when Fu Li came to check the accounts, no one tripped him, and the process went smoothly. Before lunch, he visited all the industries in the capital.

Because it was close to noon, the family of four decided to go shopping after lunch.

Several people discussed it, and finally ordered the hot pot

Because the two children stayed in the family school for a month, and they ate three meals a day at the Dingwei Hou Mansion, even if they came out for the toothbrush festival, they could only let the boy go to a nearby place to buy some roasted chicken and roasted ducks to carry with them. If you are more careful, you can go to the Chuan Chuan Xiang store in Fujin to satisfy your cravings, but there will be no more.

Since ethnology is a place for reading, it is not good to dirty the inside, and it is not good to fill the whole classroom with the smell of food; secondly, it is also because Mr. Lu is cold-tempered and the taste is very light, not only for the taste of pepper I can't accept very stimulating food, even smelling this kind of food will have a very strong reaction

After hearing the description, Fu Li guessed that Mr. Lu might not want to eat this kind of spicy food, but he might be allergic to this kind of food, so he couldn't eat it even if he wanted to.

The students also know about Mr. Lu's problem, so as time goes by, everyone will be greedy, and they will only ask the boy to buy a little food to satisfy their hunger, and when eating, they can't be in class, they can only wait in the open yard. place to use.

But eating in these places also has a very

The disadvantage is that it is easy to be discovered.

And once people find out, these people who finally let the boy buy food back can't eat alone, and if the distribution is uneven, they may offend others, so gradually, even if everyone asks the boy to buy things, they will only eat. Buy only enough for one person to eat.

The two children don't have too much change, and a small stove that can be opened three or four times a month is enough.

Because they are worried that eating too much will affect the amount of food, and then make the parents worry, so every time the two children ask the boy to buy food, even less than other students. They are more obsessed with this type of food.

So when Wei Yan and Fu Li asked what to eat for lunch today, the two children said in unison: "Eat hot pot!"

So the group went to the nearest Zhou Gong hot pot restaurant, and decided to have lunch there today.

But on the way to Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant, Fu Li accidentally discovered a very surprising thing: Not far from the street next to Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant, a shop opened quietly .

If it was just a store, Fu Li would certainly not care.

The reason why Fu Li noticed this shop was that it was not just a hot pot restaurant that followed suit, but it was also called "Zhou Gong Hot Pot Restaurant"...

Hot pot restaurant.

Fu Li stopped, his eyes stared at the reputation of the store, and his eyes sank.

If this shop just saw that the business of Zhougong Hotpot Restaurant was booming, so it wanted to follow suit and open a hotpot restaurant by imitating Zhougong Hotpot Restaurant, Fu Li would not take it seriously except that his own business would be affected.

After all, the business of the Zhougong Gourmet Chain Store was so booming before, it's not like no one wanted to steal a teacher from her store, and then learn from her to open a hot pot restaurant.But even if the other party opened it, the hot pot recipes in his store must be different from those in Zhou Gong Hot Pot Restaurant. Not only that, but the various ingredients in his hot pot restaurant are definitely not as fresh as Zhou Gong Hot Pot Restaurant.

Most importantly, the prices of these hot pot restaurants are definitely not as cheap as Zhougong hot pot restaurants.

Besides, this is also a normal commercial competition, and Fu Li will only be more vigilant because of this, and will not pay too much attention to it.

Even if someone can make a hot pot base that tastes better than that of Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant, Fu Li will not think anything of it. After all, he can make a better base than himself, the so-called guy standing on the shoulders of giants who has accumulated countless experiences. Delicious food can only show that the other party is talented and capable, and even if he loses, he will be convinced.

But like this shop, there are "Li Kui" and "Li Gui", which makes Fu Li very uncomfortable.

Wei Yan and the others saw that Fu Li stopped and stared fixedly at a shop not far away, so they also stopped and looked over, and then...

"Brother Lan, did I misread the name of that shop?" Brother Jin frowned, "Why do I look at it, the name of that hot pot restaurant is Zhoujia Hot Pot Restaurant, not Zhou Gong Hot Pot Restaurant? It was placed on the plaque back then I made a typo when I wrote it, or for some other reason.”

After asking this question, he turned his head to look at Fu Li, and saw that her eyes were heavy, as if she was very angry, so he secretly dismissed such thoughts

Mother has always had a good temper. If the name of this store is just wrong, mother's first reaction will be to solve the problem. When she enters the door, ask someone to remove the plaque, and then immediately create a plaque without typos.

But seeing Niangqin's expression, it was obvious that the name was correct.

Brother Jing paused, and carefully retreated half a step, hiding behind Brother Lang.

Wei Ruolan turned her head to look at Brother Jin, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, then shook her head helplessly, then turned to look at Fu Li who also had dangerous eyes and silent Wei Yan: "Father, is there any problem with this shop?"

Wei Yan turned to look at Wei Ruolan: "You didn't see the problem?"

Wei Ruolan was stunned for a moment, her gaze fell on the name of the store, and then in a blink of an eye she fell on the customers who came in occasionally at the door, paused, and asked, "Isn't your mother running this store?"

Wei Yan nodded: "Finally, I'm not too stupid."

Wei Ruolan endured it, and couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Wei Yan.But after rolling her eyes, Wei Ruolan's whole body froze as if someone had tapped her acupuncture points

Yaoshou, he just rolled his eyes at his father!He won't be beaten to death by his father!

Wei Yan froze for a moment, but he didn't feel angry, instead he smiled and patted his head, his eyes behaving.When talking to Wei Ruolan, his tone lost the seriousness when talking to him before, and became much more relaxed: "You brat, you have a lot of courage."

Then he turned his head and started talking to Fu Li.

Wei Ruolan fell behind, her eyes were blank, as if she hadn't reacted to Wei Yan's intimate gesture just now

Although the previous conversation eased the relationship between father and son a lot, the way of getting along between the two has been subtle for more than ten years, and has already formed a habit. Even if both of them want to change, one has scruples , the other is still in awe of his father, and doesn't know what to start with and change for a while, so he can only continue the previous way of getting along, but when talking and contacting, the tone is not as blunt as before, and it is more intimate.

The main problem still lies with Wei Ruolan, because he has always been unable to change Wei Yan's tall father image in his heart.

However, Wei Ruolan might have been too surprised by the jealousy between Wei Yan and Brother Jin in the morning, so he couldn't control it for a while, and actually regarded him as a child like Brother Jin, and rolled his eyes at him.

After doing this action, he didn't react.

But Wei Yan's reaction was beyond Wei Ruolan's expectation, making him realize that the real reason for the father-son relationship between them has not changed is actually on himself.

Wei Ruolan blinked, then lowered her head and laughed.

Hearing the laughter, Wei Yan, who was talking seriously with Fu Li, had a smile on his face.

Fu Li was stunned, looked at Wei Yan, then turned his head to look at Brother Lang who also had a smile in his eyes, and couldn't help chuckling: "The relationship between you father and son can be regarded as breaking the ice. The pattern really hurts the eyes."

After speaking, he shook his head and continued to focus on the name of the shop.

"We just stand here and look at the name of the store and we can't get any useful information. Let's ask someone to ask what's going on in this store." After finishing speaking, Fu Li turned to look at Dong Chun Dong Xia, "Where are you two coming?" Neighbors ask who the owner of the store is, when and how long the store was opened, and how the business is."

The two maids took orders, and quickly stepped back to find someone to inquire about the details of this "Zhou's Hot Pot Restaurant".

Seeing Fu Li's gloomy face, Wei Yan subconsciously raised his hand to smooth her frowning brows: "It's really disgusting to encounter such a thing, but it's not worth it if you get angry for others. Don't go too far I am concerned about this hotpot restaurant, I see that the business of this store is not good, after I go back today, I will immediately ask someone to investigate who is behind the store, and then ask someone to change the name of the store."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that the name of this "Zhoujia Hot Pot Restaurant" was named after Duke Zhou's Hot Pot Restaurant, and Sima Zhaozhi's intentions of the owner of this restaurant were well known to all passers-by. He didn't use his power to suppress the store and close it directly. He just asked him to change the name, which was already kind to him.

Fu Li turned his head and smiled: "Why do you have to do this kind of thing? If someone finds out, it will become a stain on you. Don't worry, just leave the matter of this shop to me, and I will find a way Use your own means to make this store unopenable."

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was really not difficult to deal with this matter, so he nodded in agreement.

There were a dozen or so of them in a row, standing on the street like this, it was too eye-catching, so after discussing with Wei Yan, Fu Li took the others directly into the nearest teahouse, and only let a servant Waiting at the door of the teahouse, if Dongxia Dongchun comes back, he will take him to the second floor of the teahouse.

Soon, the two maids got the good news from the neighbors of Zhou's hotpot restaurant, and they couldn't wait to come back.

Dongxia frowned, with a strange expression on his face: "This Zhoujia hotpot restaurant has only opened recently. According to the neighbors, it only opened half a month ago. The business was pretty good at the beginning, but the taste of the hotpot in the restaurant is not as good as that of the restaurant. Zhougong hot pot restaurant is far behind, so after the opening discount passed, the number of customers in the store became less and less. Gradually, only some customers who did not see the name of the store would stray into it every day, supporting the store. Barely saved it from closing down less than a month after it opened."

"As for the owner of this store..." Dongxia turned her head to look at Dongchun, and gave her the opportunity to show herself in front of the owner, "I couldn't find out from the neighbors, but Dongchun relied on his own Embroidery skills, in exchange for news from a female helper in Zhou's hot pot restaurant."

Fu Li was stunned, and looked at Dongchun with a smile: "Tell me, who is the owner of this shop?"

It was the first time that Dongchun was valued so much by Fu Li, and he felt a little nervous: "Back to Madam, the chef of Zhou's hot pot restaurant told the servant girl that the owner of this restaurant originally belonged to the Zhao family, but the granddaughter of the Zhao family got married not long ago. They gave this shop to the bride as a dowry."

"The Zhao family?" Fu Li frowned, "Is there any grievance between the Zhao family and me?"

In her impression, she should have never been in contact with someone surnamed Zhao, let alone offended someone surnamed Zhao.

Dongchun swallowed his saliva, his eyes sparkled brightly: "Go back to Madam, there is nothing unusual about this Zhao family, and the highest official rank in the family is only a fifth rank, which is really nothing in this capital, let alone I don't have the guts to offend Dingweihou's mansion. But this newly married granddaughter has something special about her identity."

Fu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, paused for a moment and then said, "This granddaughter of the Zhao family is not surnamed Wang?"

Dongchun froze, then nodded: "Indeed."

"Wang Xifeng? How could it be her?" Fu Li was puzzled, "I heard that this woman is really courageous, but now both the Wang family and the Jia family have fallen into the situation of being ransacked? Why is she still so brave?" How dare you dare to offend me? Does she think that changing the name of the store will not offend me?"

She doesn't really want to play such a clever trick, does she?

Wei Yan didn't know Wang Xifeng, let alone heard of the name, but Fu Li reacted as if he knew the owner of Zhou's hotpot restaurant very well: "Madam, do you know this daughter of Wang's family?"

Fu Li frowned: "I don't know, but I have heard of it."

After a pause, she explained, "This Wang Xifeng is Wang Zisheng's daughter, the one who married Jia Lian more than half a month ago. I heard that she has a bright and pungent personality. She is said to be a hero among the fans and a good housekeeper. .”

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows: "How do you know so well?"

Fu Li shook his head: "Given the situation of Jia's family that leaked like a sieve before, wouldn't it be easy to inquire about the situation? Because this Wang's family is related to Jia's by marriage, Wang Xifeng often went to and from Jia's house when she was young. It is said that Wang Xifeng is married to Jia Lian, so I asked someone to ask, so I got all the news about her?"

Because she was curious about Wang Xifeng, Fu Li really asked people to inquire about Wang Xifeng's news, but what she said was not what people inquired about.

Wei Yan had no doubts, but he became more and more disgusted with Jia's family style.

Dongchun looked at Fu Li with a look of admiration: "The girl from the Wang family is indeed the one who married Jia Lian. It is said that after the Wang family was copied, even the dowries of the wives were not preserved. Later, Wang Zisheng Zhao’s wife, Mrs. Zhao, went back to her natal home and cried, so she took two shops from her natal home for her daughter’s dowry, so that it didn’t make Wang’s daughter too shabby when she put on her make-up.”

Fu Li nodded, couldn't help counting the time with his fingers, and was surprised to find that Wang Xifeng opened this Zhou's hot pot restaurant not long after he got married.

This is just newly married, and instead of cultivating a relationship with her husband, she came out to open a shop instead. Isn't Wang Xifeng out of her mind?

Even if you want to open a store, you have to wait a month after the wedding, right?

Fu Li couldn't figure out Wang Xifeng's brain circuit, let alone how she had the courage to offend him.

Wei Yan had some guesses: "Maybe it's because of the county kings."

Fu Li was stunned for a moment: "A few county kings? Why are you still related to them?"

"Before Jia Lian got married, the county kings went to the wedding banquet, and made a big show, wishing that everyone, even if Jia's house was ransacked, still had a good relationship with them, so that people would not dare to offend them easily. " Wei Yan sneered, "I heard that the daughters of the Wang family are always courageous, maybe they think that the Jia family has the county king as their backer, so don't be afraid to offend you."

Know the real owner behind this store

Whoever it is, even if you want to deal with it later, you will have a target.

Fu Li paused: "Let's go eat first, and by the way, ask Cai Li and the others if they know that there is such a Zhou's hot pot restaurant near the hot pot restaurant."

If she didn't know, she couldn't help but doubt Cai Li's ability.

After the group paid the bill, they quickly left the teahouse and went to the nearest Zhou Gong hotpot restaurant. After entering the door, Fu Li walked directly to the counter and knocked on the counter with his fingers: "Has Cai Li come over today?"

There are so many shops with the name Zhou Gong in the capital, but Cai Li and Mrs. Tian's family are simply too busy, so many of the shopkeepers are not them.But all the hot pot restaurants in the capital, Fu Li handed over to Cai Li to take care of them, and asked him to patrol from time to time, in case of any unexpected situation

After all, the capital city is no better than other places. If something happens, someone with enough status is needed to support the situation.

Fu Li originally wanted to choose Aunt Tian, ​​but Aunt Tian thought she was a girl and only wanted to be a shopkeeper instead of going out to visit various stores, so Fu Li chose the next best thing, and finally appointed Cai Li to be her in-house shopkeeper. spokesperson for these stores.

The shopkeeper recognized Fu Li, and quickly shook his head: "Mr. Cai hasn't come here yet, maybe he will come later."

Fu Li nodded: "Give me a private room on the second floor, and then ask someone to invite Cai Li over." After a pause, she turned her head to look at the shopkeeper, examining her eyes, "Cai Li is here, you come up with him, I have something to ask you."

The shopkeeper was shocked by Fu Li's eyes, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

He quickly nodded in response, turned around and asked a waiter to invite Cai Li to the store, then he came out from behind the counter and took Fu Li and his party to the private room on the second floor.

Along the way, Fu Li didn't say a word.

Seeing Fu Li's attitude, the shopkeeper became more nervous, and his attitude became more respectful, and he didn't even dare to speak, fearing that if he said something wrong, it would make Fu Li even more angry.

After bringing the person to the second floor, the shopkeeper can't wait to come out of the private room, and then run away.

Brother Jin looked at the shopkeeper's back and couldn't help laughing: "Mother, your expression is so scary that you scared the shopkeeper. This matter has nothing to do with the shopkeeper. You should restrain your expression and talk about it after you ask the matter clearly." Bar."

Fu Li turned to look at Brother Jin, raised his eyebrows, and nodded in response.

Before the matter was clarified, she really shouldn't directly convict someone, and then treat the shopkeeper with that attitude.

After a while, when the waiter came in to deliver the pots and vegetables, Fu Li's expression became much better.

Food can heal the mood. After eating hot pot, Fu Li's mood is much better.

Soon, Cai Li knocked on the door.

Fu Li asked someone to come in, his eyes fell on the trembling shopkeeper behind Cai Li, he raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything.

Cai Li had just met Fu Li, so he confessed to her directly: "A few days ago, I just found out that there was a Zhou's hot pot restaurant in the street next door that copied our restaurant name. The business is not very good, so I thought to tell you about it when the account books of several stores are delivered to the Dingweihou Mansion tomorrow. I just didn't expect you to come here early, I was not prepared, let you It was my negligence to see that store."

Fu Li's eyes flickered, and he asked with a smile, "It sounds like you already know how to deal with that store?"

Cai Li nodded: "That hot pot restaurant took such a name, obviously trying to fool those customers who came here for the name but didn't do things very carefully. It's just that no matter what the original purpose is, the ultimate goal of the owner of the shop is We want to make money, so we just need to make that store unprofitable, and that's enough."

Fu Li became interested: "Tell me, what method do you want to use to make that store unable to make money?"

Cai Li smiled: "I don't need any clever tricks, I just want someone to put up a sign next to that store to point the way to those customers."

Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately burst out laughing with a "puchi".

I have to say that although Cai Li's method seems very stupid and somewhat wicked, the final effect will definitely be very good

As far as I heard before Dongxia, the taste of the Zhoujia hotpot restaurant is not good, and the price seems to be no lower than that of the Zhougong hotpot restaurant. The place where the store opened has not been squeezed by the Zhougong hotpot restaurant. It's just relying on a name that is highly similar to Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant.However, Cai Li planned to directly draw out the bottom line and put up a sign next to that restaurant to let everyone know that this hotpot restaurant is not that hotpot restaurant...

Fu Li could even imagine how furious Wang Xifeng would be after knowing this.

Fu Lizheng was full of praise for this idea, Wei Yan couldn't help but a smile flashed in his eyes after listening to it, and the two children were very happy with this idea, and they couldn't help but go to Cai Li's side to ask questions.

After laughing, Fu Li nodded and decided on this method directly.

But turning her head, she looked directly at the shopkeeper of this store again: "Shopkeeper Qi, can you tell me when exactly did you know that such a shop opened next door, and when did you tell Cai Li?"

Although Cai Li gave a solution to Zhou's hot pot restaurant, Fu Li did not ignore what Cai Li said just because he was happy.

Cai Li gave a solution to the trouble, but he only found out about Zhou's Hot Pot Restaurant a few days ago?

After all, Cai Li didn't sit in this shop all day long, but shopkeeper Qi was always in this shop and never left.According to Dongxia's information, the business of Zhou's Hot Pot Restaurant was good at the beginning, but it gradually declined when it was discovered that the taste of that restaurant was not as good as that of Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant.

The distance between the two stores is so close, both are hot pot restaurants, and the names of the stores are so similar, the business of the two stores will definitely affect each other.
