Wang's little lady

Chapter 66 Know the enemy
It was her first time to set foot in the alley that Xiaoya brought her to, and it looked much wider than other alleys.

Just the exterior walls on both sides have different decorations, and the eaves protruding from the exterior walls are even more cleverly designed, which may not be affordable for ordinary people.

Xiaoya took Hongdou all the way to their destination, pointing to the plaque on the door - Zhao Zhai.

Hongdou looked at the grand Zhao's house gate and couldn't help but sigh: The TV will never deceive me!

"Xiaoya, are Mr. Zhao and the young man named Achang from this family?"

Xiaoya smiled and nodded.

Hongdou now felt enlightened.

Mr. Zhao comes from a wealthy family, but unexpectedly he is quite down-to-earth. Not only is he willing to eat food from the stalls, but he also takes things home if he likes them.

The opportunity came to her door. If she didn't fight for it, she would really regret it in the future.

She had to find someone to find out if this family had any happy events in recent days, so she could make preparations in advance.

After knowing the way, Hongdou was not prepared to stay any longer, lest he be discovered and arouse unnecessary suspicion.

"Xiaoya, you are really helpful this time. If this business is successful, I will give you money."

Hongdou took Xiaoya's hand and promised happily.

The next day.

Hongdou got up early, helped her family prepare the first batch of jelly, and took Xiaoya to deliver the goods to Baiweilou in advance.

"Grandma, mother, Xiaoya and I are going out first. Aunt Li and cousin will be here in a while. Just take stock."

"I got it." Mrs. Sun responded casually. They were already familiar with household matters.

Even if her granddaughter is not here, she and her daughter-in-law can still do it. When big things happen, the family can just discuss them together.

But if you go there so early, Baiweilou may not be open.

Forget it, it was already dawn anyway, Xiaoya was here, and the two of them were in town, so nothing would happen.

Hongdou took Xiaoya to the back door of Baiwei Building as usual.

"Thank you, miss, why are you here so early today? Please come in." The waiter led the two of them to unload their things in the kitchen, and then went to the lobby to pay shopkeeper Wu.

Shopkeeper Wu was also surprised that Hongdou came so early today, but it was better than delivering it late.

"Miss Xie is here, please wait for a moment, I will withdraw the money right now." Shopkeeper Wu recorded today's order amount, took the money and handed it to the two of them.

Hongdou didn't know what to do and kicked him directly. Even a big restaurant wouldn't look at such a small amount of money.

Instead, he asked about another thing.

Shopkeeper Wu thought it was about the jelly, so he sat on the other side of the table and asked silently.

"That's it. Shopkeeper Zhou came to the door yesterday."

"Zhou Shoucai from Mingyue Tower? Is it because of the jelly thing?" Shopkeeper Wu was not surprised. If Zhou had been too slow, he, Baiwei Tower, would have become the dominant one in Shimen Town.

"good."

Shopkeeper Wu said gently: "I believe in Miss Xie's business ethics. Miss Xie doesn't need to come here to inform you."

The two families signed a formal contract, not to mention the Xie family's current abilities, so they didn't dare to turn around and confront him.

However, shopkeeper Wu was very satisfied with this gesture of coming to the door to explain, and he once again saw the sincerity of the Xie family.

"Thank you to Shopkeeper Wu for your trust. Naturally, I won't ruin my future. However, my family and Mingyue Tower are openly at odds with each other, so I want to know more about the shopkeeper's temperament next week."

Shopkeeper Wu understood that this was because he was afraid of Zhou Shoucai's retaliation.

The Xie family's consideration was not wrong. If something went wrong, it would also delay the supply of goods to the restaurant.Moreover, they had agreed that if they could not supply goods to Mingyue Tower, he would not really be unable to contribute at all.

"The girl's worries are not unreasonable." Shopkeeper Wu put one hand on the table and counted unconsciously:

"I know Zhou Shoucai a little bit. His behavior is quite domineering. If the other party is lighter than him, he will also play dirty tricks if the business cannot be negotiated."

Even if someone makes a fuss, the worst they can do is spend some money on intimidation. Ordinary people can't fight, and they can only swallow it no matter how unwilling they are. "He is not a local. His wife and descendants are not here, and he only has a concubine by his side. He has fewer worries when doing things."

"As for his business ability, it's just like that. I don't think he can compare with young people."

People like them are shopkeepers to the outside world and are looked down upon by ordinary people, but internally they are just long-term employees of the master's family.

As long as you can run your own errands well and avoid causing trouble to your master's family, even if you don't get promoted, you won't lose your errands that easily.

"May I ask Shopkeeper Wu, how long has Shopkeeper been here this week?"

Shopkeeper Wu couldn't help but think of the time when he first came to Baiweilou.At first, he helped his boss run a shop in other counties, but he accidentally offended a distinguished customer.

Even though the fault was not his, the owner had to send him to a restaurant in the town in order to give the distinguished guest an explanation.

When he first arrived, Zhou Shoucai wanted to give him a stumbling block. Although he had just started running a restaurant, he still had the ability to take care of things. Coupled with the relationship he relied on, Zhou Shoucai failed to succeed.

It had been several years since he had been there, and the business in the town was not much better, and he didn't have a chance to get ahead, but he might not be able to get ahead in the future.

Thinking of this, shopkeeper Wu felt that the Xie family should not let anything go wrong, and he also pointed out that he wanted to borrow Dongfeng from the Xie family.

"Shopkeeper Zhou has been here before I came to Shimen Town, for about ten years."

"I heard something casually before that it seems that I have a close relationship with a certain mistress of my employer's family. Staying here and working here is considered as a way to provide for old age."

Hongdou thought about it carefully. He hadn't seen any employees move in more than ten years, and his ability to do things was average. It was also related to the fact that the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Maybe the restaurant was regarded as private property.

I don’t know if the account books are clean?If it is not clean. . .

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu, for your advice. I've taken note of it all."

Hongdou was very grateful to Shopkeeper Wu for telling her the matter in such detail. It would be beneficial to know more about the enemy: "There is another thing. Does Shopkeeper Wu know about Zhao's house in Liren Lane?"

Shopkeeper Wu was a little surprised. Isn't this Mr. Zhao's house? "Why is the girl asking this?"

Hongdou smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Wu. There was no competition between the two families, so it was okay to say:

"A young man named Zhao came to my place and picked out two snacks. Although the things I have are not of high elegance, I still want to fight for them. If I succeed, it will also be good for your restaurant."

Is there such a thing?This Mr. Zhao really does everything himself.

However, the snack Miss Xie mentioned was probably indispensable with jelly, so he naturally supported it. Whether it would succeed or not was none of his business.

"I do know a thing or two. It will be Mrs. Zhao's birthday in a few days. Is Mr. Zhao doing it for Mrs. Zhao?"

The restaurant will also give him a birthday gift when the time comes, but the Zhao family will naturally not invite him to attend.

It turns out that the food for Madam Houzhai’s birthday banquet needs to be more elaborate.

Her good sum total.

"Thanks to shopkeeper Wu, I gained so much knowledge today. It's getting late, so I won't delay you. I'll take my leave."

Hongdou stood up and bowed Yingying, and took Xiaoya to leave.

"Thank you for being polite, Miss. If I find any movement at Mingyue Tower, I will send someone to notify you."

Anko thanked her again.As the two of them walked on the street, Hongdou kept thinking about the next arrangements in his mind.

She will try her best to fight for the Zhao family, and she will not let up on the Mingyue Tower.

With Shopkeeper Zhou's acting style, not all people around him may be convinced by him, if they can find an opportunity. . .

"Humph."

Hongdou's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a cold snort. The two of them looked to the side and saw that it was Shopkeeper Zhou standing on the other side of the street.

It looked like he was heading towards the restaurant.

Xiaoya saw that the other party was unkind, she put her arms on her hips and glared back.

Looking at the other party's sinister eyes, Hongdou became even more wary, it was too much to bully someone!
　Happy National Day~ There are so many people traveling, so be careful when going out.
