Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 227 A Thief Meets a Thief Stealing vs Being Assassinated (2)
Seeing that Tian Liusu had eaten a few bites, the little girl asked him such words, she was terrified and fearful, thinking that the food was not tasty, so she hurriedly explained to her.

"This dish is delicious." Tian Liusu interrupted his eloquent explanation, and from what he said, he knew that there should be something hidden about the restaurant's dishes.

"Ah? Oh, then such a villain can rest assured." The little boy was anxious and helpless, thinking that a guest had finally come to him, and now he was about to leave again. He didn't want Tian Liusu to praise him, and he instantly felt relieved , with a happy expression on his face.

"These dishes are well matched with pastries, fruits, and soups. The dishes are excellent and the taste is very good. Why are there so few people in such an excellent place? That's what I'm asking."

Tian Liusu ate fast, and was already full at this time. Lvzhu and Lvxiu had been standing behind her to wait for her to eat. At this time, she stood up and moved her position to force the two maidservants to sit down and eat, although she still didn't dare to eat. , but under Tian Liusu's resolute eyes, the two maids finally sat down tremblingly, picked up the chopsticks and lowered their heads to eat.

"Miss is really discerning. To receive such praise from you, our shopkeeper will definitely be very happy." The little girl said with a smile on her face.

"Answer my question." Tian Liusu saw that the little girl kept avoiding to answer, and scratched her head in her heart to find out. After saying this, she stared at the little girl closely, not allowing him to make any further detours.

"Hey, it's nothing, it's a long story."

It turned out that Tianfu Restaurant was the best restaurant on this street, but a restaurant called "Chuanxiang Restaurant" suddenly opened on the opposite side a year ago. At first, the business there was not good, and the customers all came to Tianfu Restaurant. Once, a customer of the Tianfu Pavilion suddenly fell to the ground after eating the signature pastry "Furong Cake" here, foaming at the mouth. Although the person was rescued later, he insisted that he was He was poisoned after eating the cakes in the store, so he clamored for the shopkeeper to compensate him.

The shopkeeper was originally a businessman who believed in making money with kindness, and he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he paid him 500 taels of silver to settle the matter.

After a few days, it was reported in the capital that the food in the Tianfu Pavilion was filled with unclean things, which would cause people to be poisoned. After the news spread, the shopkeeper immediately came out to refute the rumors, and was interviewed every day to eat food from his own shop. All the food, but it will be difficult to stop the rumors once they spread. The news quickly spread throughout the capital. Chuanxiang restaurant was poached, so all the guests went to the restaurant opposite, but the number of people here was getting smaller and smaller day by day.

The shopkeeper couldn't bear such a blow. He became ill and was bedridden for more than a month. The restaurant was also closed for more than a month. After he recovered from his illness and opened the door again, he became what he is now. A customer, although the shopkeeper has made adjustments to the dishes and hired a new chef, but the business has not improved. He also understands that this must be done by the opposite Chuanxiang restaurant, but he himself Without backing and forces behind it, although I have tried many ways, the restaurant is still getting deserted day by day, and the business is worsening day by day.

Later, the shopkeeper of Chuanxiang Restaurant wanted to take over the restaurant and asked the shopkeeper of Tianfu Pavilion to transfer it to him, but the shopkeeper refused anyway. He held his breath in his heart and would not transfer it to him no matter what. Then he uttered cruel words, saying that if he didn't transfer the hands to him, no one on this street would dare to take over. The shopkeeper issued a transfer announcement, and after several months, no one dared to take over. Later, the shopkeeper inquired privately, and heard It is said that the backing of Chuanxiang Pavilion seems to be the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Hearing this, Tian Liusu's face became interested, Prime Minister's Mansion?The hostess in the prime minister's mansion is Tang Wanrong, so she must be the backer behind the Chuanxiang Pavilion, she smiled, anyone who is with Tang Wanrong is her enemy, on the contrary, anyone who is with Tang Wanrong is an enemy Everyone is her friend.

"Second brother, go and invite your shopkeeper to come and see him, and tell me that I want to take over his restaurant." Tian Liusu said to the second after thinking for a while.

"What? Miss, this is not a joke. Our shopkeeper is already devastated by this matter, and the whole family is almost struggling to survive. Don't make trouble for him."

The mistress Jiantian Liusu is a delicate young lady, she thought to herself that at most she is a big lady, how can she afford a restaurant with only a few taels of silver per month?Could it be that they want to take advantage of the fire to rob and buy this restaurant at a low price?Xiao Er had so many thoughts in an instant, and she also had some contempt for Tian Liusu in her heart, thinking that she was taking advantage of others.

"What are you thinking? I won't let him suffer. Moreover, I have a good business idea, which will definitely bring your restaurant back to life. After this village, there will be no such restaurant. You'd better go and invite him Bar."

Seeing Tian Liusu's serious expression, not looking like he was joking, the waiter shook his head and walked slowly with the tray in hand.

"Miss, do you really want to buy this restaurant? This restaurant should look very expensive." Xue Ling also stood up after eating, seeing that Tian Liusu didn't look like she was joking, she asked her worriedly.

"Why not? Anyway, we will always have a foothold in the capital in the future. There are only advantages and no disadvantages in buying more properties. Besides, I have long wanted to get involved in the catering industry."

Xue Ling was no stranger to Tian Liusu's new words, but it was the first time for the two maids, Lvzhu and Lvxiu, to hear it. What is the catering industry?The two looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion.

After a while, a middle-aged man came in behind Xiao Er. He was dressed in a navy blue padded cotton robe and a felt hat, with a sad face. It seemed that he was the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

"I heard that this young lady is going to buy this restaurant?" The shopkeeper didn't even say a word when he came in, he made a slight salute to Tian Liusu, and asked directly.

"Yes, I don't know if the shopkeeper really wants to sell this restaurant. If it is true, then I will buy it." Looking at the shopkeeper, Tian Liusu guessed that he must have worked very hard. You will know when you have a sad face and cloudy clouds.

"I really want to transfer this restaurant, but Miss probably doesn't know that I have transferred this restaurant for three months and no one has taken it over so far, because the behind-the-scenes owner of Chuanxianglou opposite is a distant relative of the prime minister's wife. His background is too strong, and he issued an order secretly. If anyone transfers my restaurant, I will go with him. So although I posted the transfer announcement, no one has dared to take over so far. I really don’t want to give in to him and transfer it to him. , so I can only support it hard, so that the silver taels I have earned in these years are running out, and it is difficult to maintain the livelihood of the whole family."

The shopkeeper seemed to be a kind person, and when he learned that Tian Liusu was going to take over the restaurant, he didn't hide the secrets of the restaurant, and told her the current situation of the restaurant in detail.
