The best farmhouse

Chapter 160 Failure
Here, Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu immediately hit the market.

Let’s not talk about the rice shop. The owners of the rice shop in Baiyun County united one by one and boycotted the Ke family. Chen Zhongqiu and Zhao Canniang were not worried about the rice shop’s business.

In the afternoon of that day, Chen Zhongqiu directly launched an "offensive" on all the Ke family's shops in Baiyun County.

Silk and satin shop, grocery store, Tianxiang restaurant and other properties of the Ke family.

Naturally, Zhao Canniang was not idle, and Tianxiang Restaurant was entrusted to her.Zhao Canniang is very confident that she can grab the business of Tianxiang Restaurant.
Jin Suan didn't expect things to become so serious all of a sudden.The Chen family's attack was terrible. Not only did it affect his business, but even his old customers were taken away.

The situation in Baiyun County suddenly became very tense, and other shop owners chose to wait and see one by one.
The Ke family's business was suppressed and intentionally suppressed everywhere, and even many merchants joined the Chen family's team, and Jin Suan was suddenly hit by the enemy.

Half a month later, the Ke family's business has declined.

Even the Tianxiang Restaurant, which used to be full of guests and friends, now has few people.

The previous chefs have already left, and the taste of the new chefs' cooking is not as good as those of the previous chefs. Naturally, after the guests have eaten once or twice, they will not come again.

Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu did not stop there.

In the end, Jin Abacus couldn't bear it anymore.

At Zhao's restaurant, Zhao Canniang happened to be helping in the restaurant at noon this day. Recently, because she has been fighting with Jin Abacus, Zhao Canniang basically spends most of her time in the restaurant.

Jin Suan was wearing a white shirt today, and he looked very handsome and handsome.

Just a careful observation will reveal that Jin Suan's face is frighteningly dark.

Zhao Canniang didn't care about Jin Suansu's mood.

As soon as Jin Suan entered the door of the restaurant, he went straight to the counter.

Zhao Canniang saw him when Jin Abacus came in, but she just pretended not to see him and was still doing her own thing.

The shadow of Jin Abacus fell on Zhao Canniang's body, and now Zhao Canniang raised her head to look at Jin Abacus.

With a slight smile, Zhao Canniang said, "Why is Boss Jin so busy today, that he has time to come to my place?"

There was still no smile on Jin Suan's face, and he was very cold: "Do you have time, Ms. Zhao? I have a few words to say to Ms. Zhao."

Zhao Canniang nodded, really wanting to hear what Jin Suansu wanted to say.

"If you have time, we're not busy right now, let's talk over there!" Zhao Canniang pointed to the booth next to her.

This is the first time that Jin Suan has come to Zhao's private restaurant.I hadn't paid attention to the decorations inside the restaurant just now, but now I was reminded by Zhao Canniang, and I was shocked when I saw Zhao Canniang's fingers let go, because the decoration of this restaurant is really unique.

After Zhao Canniang locked the drawer, she came out from behind the counter and walked towards Jin Abacus.

"Boss Jin, please."

Zhao Canniang said that she would lead the way ahead.It's not time for dinner yet, Aunt Liao and the others are also helping behind, and Zhao Canniang is the only one outside, so it's a good time to talk about things in a quieter place.

Sitting on the chair, Jin Suan looked at Zhao Canniang seriously, with a little sullen expression on his face: "Miss Zhao, is this really going to happen between us?"

Jin Suan was not passive and has been bullied all the time. He resisted, and he resisted fiercely, but nothing worked at all, because Zhao Canniang and the others did not follow common sense at all, and he felt that the merchants in the entire Baiyun County were Against him, he is fighting alone, how could he be the opponent of so many people?
The corners of Zhao Canniang's mouth curled up, and she said with a smile, "Master Jin, let's make things clear. You're making it so vague that outsiders will think we have something to do with each other!"

When Jin Suan heard Zhao Canniang say this, he snorted coldly: "Miss Zhao, we are all sensible people, you know what I'm talking about."

Zhao Canniang didn't beat around the bush, and sneered: "It's not right for shopkeeper Jin to say that. I didn't start this war first. Besides, if you don't use despicable methods, we will show mercy. After all, shopkeeper Jin Baiyun County is not In your place, no matter how powerful you were in the past, that was the past, now you are in Baiyun County, you have to accept the rules of the game in Baiyun County, to be honest, do you know why everyone hates you more?"

After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, she looked at Jin Abacus seriously, and seeing Jin Abacus's blank face, Zhao Canniang said: "It's because you are arrogant! The first thing you did wrong when you came to Baiyun County was disrupting the market with rice prices! You Maybe you don’t know that in Baiyun County, the most despised thing is disrupting the market. It’s not easy for everyone to do business. When you come, you don’t visit the pier, don’t communicate or say hello to everyone, and just cut the price. Outrageous, making it impossible for everyone to continue to do business, you said, how many people can like you for doing such a thing?"

Jin Suanan's face was very dark, but he still listened to Zhao Canniang seriously. Zhao Canniang continued: "The price of this rice shop is the first thing. Do you know what you have offended me?"

Shopkeeper Jin certainly knew this time: "You are talking about the trouble last time!"

Shopkeeper Jin remembered that it was after that time that Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu started to attack his business. At that time, even though he felt that he had the ability to turn the tide, he was helpless.

Zhao Canniang nodded: "Do you know that your methods are despicable?"

Shopkeeper Jin snorted coldly and said indifferently: "The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, I just used a little bit of trickery, it's not despicable, if you want to say despicable, aren't you despicable? Who took away the chef of Tianxiang Restaurant?"

"Of course they left voluntarily. Shopkeeper Jin, do you know the biggest difference between you and Shopkeeper Zhang?" Zhao Canniang looked at Jin Suan with a smile on her face.

Jin Suan directly shook his head to express that he didn't know, and then Zhao Canniang continued to say: "Master Zhang is a kind person, in fact, Tianxiang Restaurant is not their best home, but they have been staying in Tianxiang Restaurant, have you thought about the reason in the middle?" ?Treasurer Jin Maybe you were really successful in other places before, but there is one thing you have to deny, that is, you failed this time. I will not stop with the Ke family. I will do my best to destroy the Ke family."

When Jin Suan heard Zhao Canniang's words, he looked at Zhao Canniang in disbelief and said, "You mean to destroy the Ke family? Although Zhao Canniang and you have won this time, don't be arrogant. There are some things that you can't just be arrogant about. You know that Ke How much business does the family have?"

These words were obviously meant to remind Zhao Canniang.

Zhao Canniang was very clear about some things.

"Thank you for reminding me, shopkeeper Jin just wanted to talk to me when he came to me today?"

Zhao Canniang didn't have that much time to hang out with Jin Suan.

Jin Suanan sighed and said unwillingly, "I'm leaving, this time I'm here to say goodbye to you, I've reported everything about Baiyun County to Mr. Ke, and Mr. Ke agreed for me to give up the business here. "

Hearing Jin Suanan say this, Zhao Canniang frowned. Master Ke gave up the business in Baiyun County so easily, which is indeed unexpected.

Jin Suan paused for a moment and continued: "There is nothing in the business here that is worthy of our nostalgia, so we have to close the business here, and we will sell all the Ke family's stores publicly in a few days."

Zhao Canniang's eyes widened, she never expected that Jin Abacus would bring her so many surprises.

If the Ke family's business was destroyed so easily, it would be too simple!
Zhao Canniang was very surprised, but Jin Suan didn't want to explain anything to Zhao Canniang.

"Anyway, you can take care of yourself in the future! Our Ke family in Baiyun County can't do anything to you, but Yucheng is different from other places, and you will cry a lot when the time comes."

After talking about Jin Suan, he stood up: "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."
Zhao Canniang also stood up and said, "Treasurer Jin just walk slowly and I won't give it away." Zhao Canniang was completely out of mood at this time, and her heart was full of worries.
The last few words of Jin Suan were clearly threatening Zhao Canniang, threatening Zhao Canniang's business in other places, and the Ke family would do it.

And this is what Zhao Canniang is most worried about. They can do whatever they want in Baiyun County, but they can't do it in other places.
Walking to the door, Zhao Canniang had already thought of a countermeasure, and she won't lose if she loses: "I hope to be an opponent against Treasurer Jin next time."

After hearing this sentence, Jin Suan sneered and left directly.

He was leaving Baiyun County today and needed to return to Yucheng, Zhao Canniang frowned seeing Jin Suan's back gradually disappearing.

This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

What is the Ke family going to do?It seems too abnormal to simply give up the business here.

The so-called abnormality must have a demon. Thinking of this, Zhao Canniang hurried to the back of the counter and began to write a letter to Zhao Qingfeng. It is good to remind Zhao Qingfeng no matter what. As for the affairs of Baiyun County, as long as Jin Abacus leaves, the Ke family will As soon as the family business here was ruined, Zhao Canniang planned to go to Yucheng to assist Zhao Qingfeng.

Chen Zhongqiu only heard the news at night.

But what Chen Zhongqiu heard was that shopkeeper Jin had left Baiyun County.

Chen Zhongqiu's face was full of joy.That's right, it's the Ke family who are fighting this time, and it's a very powerful figure in the Ke family, so it should be something to be happy about.

"The shopkeeper Canniang Jin has already left. I heard that the Ke family will sell the store in two days. It seems that this time the Ke family is really determined to leave here." Chen Zhongqiu's face was full of joy, as long as the Ke family Once he left, the Chen family would no longer be threatened.Zhao Canniang nodded, and then said suspiciously: "I've taken a fancy to the shop of Tianxiang Restaurant, you can find someone to help me and ask how much money I need."

If Tianxiang Restaurant is gone, then this is the best time for their family to rise up, and it is not impossible for their family to become the best restaurant in Baiyun County by then.
Chen Zhongqiu also felt that the location of Tianxiang Restaurant was better: "Well, I'll help you find someone to take a look. If you really think it's suitable, then the restaurant will be reserved for you."

Money is not a problem, as long as Zhao Canniang wants it, Chen Zhongqiu always thinks of a way.

The turmoil in Baiyun County here has just passed.

Recently, however, Zhao Qingfeng has been extremely busy.

The Ke family really started to deal with the restaurant business. Fortunately, Zhao Qingfeng went back earlier, and quickly resolved the previous troubles.

Zhao Qingfeng was busy with several stores by himself, feeling exhausted.
Yucheng is very large, and Zhao Qingfeng reopened several restaurants in the past two years, and even in the more prosperous towns near Yucheng, you can see plaques of Zhao's private kitchen.

Zhao Qingfeng has many apprentices, because Zhao Qingfeng taught everyone cooking skills without reservation when choosing people. These apprentices all respect Zhao Qingfeng, although they may be about the same age.But they respected Zhao Qingfeng from the bottom of their hearts, and these apprentices chose to stay in Zhao's private restaurant in the end.

The main reason is that Zhao Qingfeng treats people well and pays them well.
Zhao Qingfeng flipped through the account books of the past few days in the restaurant, and found that the business in the past few days was really bad.

And the business of Tianxiang Restaurant, which is not far from the private restaurant, is indeed extremely hot.

Zhao Qingfeng has already felt the pressure, and the Ke family has already begun to retaliate.
Zhao Qingfeng did not find the reason for the bad business.
You can only do your best to deal with it all the time.

Naturally, the pressure is great. What he thinks now is that Zhao Canniang can go to Yucheng sooner. In Zhao Qingfeng's heart, Zhao Canniang has more evil ideas, and is smarter and more capable than him.

Zhao Canniang here finally waited for the auction of Ke's storefront.

There are a total of seven Ke family stores in Baiyun County, and there are three floors of Tianxiang Restaurant in the middle.

Jin Suan didn't do these things himself. Before leaving, Jin Suan found a suitable candidate, so now the one who presides over the overall situation is the person selected by Jin Suan.

Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu also went, and the location was on the first floor of Tianxiang Restaurant.
Before that, Chen Zhongqiu had already sent someone to find out that the low price of Tianxiang Restaurant was 3000 taels of silver.

3000 taels is not a small amount, but Zhao Canniang felt that the 3000 taels should be worth it.

So Zhao Canniang followed suit.

There are many shop owners in the city who are present, in order to be able to buy their favorite shops, but it is hard to find shops in Baiyun County.

Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu sat in an inconspicuous position, but they could see the scene on the stage at a glance.

The deeds of each shop were taken out.

I don't know who came up with such a process, but it is similar to modern auctions.

In the end, Zhao Canniang bought Tianxiang Restaurant and spent 3000 taels of silver.

With such a price, Zhao Canniang already felt that she had taken advantage of it. The interior decoration of Tianxiang Restaurant was very good, so she could continue to do business as long as she changed the signboard.

Zhao Canniang will never forget those guys who used to work in Tianxiang Restaurant, this time Zhao Canniang just wanted to give those people a place to live.

Chen Zhongqiu was also lucky, he bought two shops, and the others were bought by other merchants.

For such a harvest, both of them were very satisfied.
Zhaojiazhuang.

Zhao Canniang finally finished her work in the past few days and had time to rest, and then she remembered that she hadn't been to Zhaojiazhuang for a long time.

Early this morning, Zhao Canniang went back alone.

Zhaojiazhuang is much more lively than before, especially at the village head, where the women are sitting together cutting and washing mochi, which is very lively.

And inside the rebuilt chimney at the back of the warehouse, billowing thick smoke was billowing, obviously busy doing things inside.
Zhao Canniang was indescribably excited seeing such a scene.

As soon as they entered the village, the women in the village greeted Zhao Canniang with smiles one by one.

It was only then that Zhao Canniang discovered that more and more people were cutting mochi.

And everyone seems to be unafraid.

"Auntie, are you allergic?" Zhao Canniang walked among several women and asked curiously, but Zhao Canniang didn't see anyone who took protective measures.

One of the women said with a smile: "We found that we no longer have allergies when we do it, and we don't know what's going on."

The other one also smiled and said, "You should pay us more for Canniang's wages!"

Zhao Canniang nodded with a smile: "Yes, as long as you can grind tens of thousands of catties of taro into flour before winter comes, I will give each of you an extra three Wen per day."

When the women heard this, they cheered immediately. Three Wen's wages didn't sound like much, but when you think about it carefully, it's unbelievable. If you pay more than three Wen per day, it's nearly a hundred Wen per month.

There are no less than [-] people working here, that is to say, if each person gets an increase of [-] Wen, then Zhao Canniang will have to pay nearly [-] Wen more every day.

There are so many days, so what about a month?
Everyone is not a fool, they all went back to calculating, and after hearing what Zhao Canniang said, they all worked hard.

Zhao Canniang was excited when she saw that everyone was doing things one by one after hearing about the wage increase, and she also felt in a good mood.

He stood up and walked into the warehouse.

In the yard, several stone mills are turning rapidly, and the moya powder ground from the graphite is very good.

And beside each stone mill, there is a woman standing beside each stone mill who made a special trip to add hemp taro to the graphite.

When Zhao Canniang found Zhao Dafu, Zhao Dafu was baking taro cubes and the fire inside the stove was very high, and Zhao Dafu and several men were covered in sweat.

"Uncle Dafu." Zhao Canniang finally shouted after standing aside and watching for a long time.

Zhao Dafu saw that it was Zhao Canniang who was coming, so he quickly put down the things in his hands and walked towards Zhao Canniang.

"Why are you here today? Are you all busy at home?"

Zhao Canniang nodded as she walked: "I'm done with my work, so I came to see you today. Things are going well here!"

Zhao Dafu nodded and said: "Successfully, you have also seen that everyone is doing their best to do things." Everyone in the village knows what kind of crisis everyone is facing now, so this time everyone is united in doing things. Zhao Canniang also knew.
