Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While Yuezhou City returned to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, the capital city failed to settle down because of the chaotic situation. This most important city at the feet of the emperor always attracted the attention of the world in various ways.  .The two hundred masters who were originally sent to the capital by Li Yuanjing to strangle Hongyuan Trading Company have successfully sneaked into the city and are scattered throughout Hongyuan Trading Company, ready to wait for opportunities.  Since Wei Hong had sent the news of this matter to the capital a long time ago, Hongyuan Trading Company was not unprepared.  In addition to the day and night patrols within the trading house to strengthen the guard, the Ministry of War also sent 200 elite soldiers to Hongyuan Trading Bank to assist in the guarding in accordance with Comrade Li's instructions.  As a result, there were a total of four to five hundred people inside and outside. Although they were definitely no match for those masters in a one-on-one battle, it still had a great shock effect on the masters.  ¡°And while guarding Hongyuan Trading Company, Comrade Lao Li also sent people to search for suspicious people in the city, and even imposed curfews at night, which caused panic among the people in the capital.  There is a restaurant called "Changping Tower" in the southeast corner of the capital. The owner is Chen Fu, who is from Liuzhou. His ancestors have been businessmen for three generations.  However, unlike most businessmen, others have accumulated wealth for their families for generations, and their family has become more and more prosperous. But this Chen Fu is just the opposite. Although he gets up early every day and works hard every day, his business is getting worse day by day, so that  He spent more time with him and earned less. In the end, even the wealth accumulated by his ancestors was used by Chen Fu to make up for the shortfall.  Business was not good in the past, but with the incident involving the two hundred masters recently, it became even more difficult.  Today is the same as yesterday, there are only a few customers, the money earned is not enough for daily marketing, and the work is basically in vain.  After dinner, the curfew was still about half an hour away, and Chen Fu didn't expect a few high-rollers to suddenly appear at this time to improve the restaurant's overall performance this month.  Chen Fu sat lazily at the door, with a small table beside him. On the table was a pot of rice wine and a plate of side dishes.  Watching the pedestrians on the street gradually dwindling, I drank in a daze.  It is said that one drink can relieve a thousand worries, but Chen Fu felt that the more he drank, the more he became sad.  If this continues, I'm afraid that my restaurant will be closed down soon.  "Master, it's almost time now, why don't you guys close the door first?" Two guys in their twenties appeared behind Chen Fu and said humbly.  Like Chen Fu, the two guys also had sad faces. Although the store did not belong to them, the quality of the business was related to their survival plans.  When they thought about the restaurant closing in the future and having no choice but to leave the capital and return to their hometown to farm, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.  Chen Fu looked back at the waiter and saw that the waiter's expression was not much better than his own. It was obvious that he was suffering from the situation in the restaurant. Chen Fu felt a little comforted in his heart.  He casually lifted the half-empty wine bottle, drank the remaining wine in one breath, and then used two chopsticks and side dishes to suppress the smell of wine.  When the side dishes were finished, Chen Fu threw his chopsticks on the table, stood up, sighed, and walked to the backyard, saying softly: "Close the door." After the two guys were ordered, they walked to the door and stretched out their hands first.  I glanced down the street and saw that all the surrounding shops were closed and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.  In order to avoid being discovered by the night watch soldiers and causing further trouble, the two clerks quickly moved to the door panel, but just when they were still one door away from closing the store door, a big hand suddenly stretched out along the door panel from the outside.  The big hand that suddenly appeared in front of them startled the two guys, and they exclaimed, attracting the attention of Chen Fu who was about to leave, and turned around to look back.  When he saw the big hand, he heard a rough voice in his ear: "Don't panic, store owner. We are diners on the road. We couldn't find a place to eat, so we came to disturb the purity of the store."  Hearing this, Chen Fu walked back to the door and waved to the two guys to open the door.  After removing the four door panels, Chen Fu found a strong man about eight feet tall standing outside the door.  This strong man's face is fairly fair. Although he has a strong figure, his face reveals a kind of affinity.  Behind the strong man, there were six men standing. They were of different shapes, fat and thin, and tall and short. Even their faces were good and evil, some had kind faces and good intentions, and some had evil looks.  These seven people, who seemed to be in different latitudes, appeared at the same time with such a strong sense of conflict in the picture, which even Chen Fu, who was well-informed, was very surprised.  After a brief moment of astonishment, the strong man headed by Chen Fuchong bowed respectfully. After all, the customer is God. Regardless of whether he does his business or not, the etiquette of opening the door to receive customers is still required.  After saluting, Chen Fu quietly glanced at the few people behind the strong man, with a hint of fear in his eyes.  Although I was worried that rejecting them might cause trouble, compared with the troubles of the night patrol, the troubles of these people seemed to be nothing.  Well, if I open the door to receive your guests, I will be discovered by the soldiers on night watch, and I will definitelyIf you are not lucky enough, you may be taken back to the class room and asked for a slap in the face.  Otherwise, you can walk along this street again and see if you can find the restaurant with a "strong relationship".  If you can't find it, then I'll ask the guests to suffer for one night and come back tomorrow morning.  ¡± It is said that all business is done with one mouth. Although Chen Fu is not very successful in business, he has practiced his skills well. In just three or five sentences, there is no fault at all. Not only did he reject the diners, but he also did not ruin his reputation.  The two waiters next to me, who had worked in the restaurant for three years, listened carefully to Chen Fu's words and took them into their hearts. Logically speaking, these were valuable experiences for Chen Fu.  Now that the conversation has reached this point, the diners have nothing to say. They must either find another restaurant or go home. However, the strong man in front of him seems to be starving to death if he doesn't eat this meal.  He refused to leave no matter what: "We walked two streets and saw that you haven't closed your shop. If you don't do business here, then we will really go hungry tonight."  When you open a business, all you want is money. How about this, I'll give you more money.  " "This is not about money.  "Chen Fu waved his hand and his stance was very firm. Chen Fu was short of money, but he was not short of heart. It can be seen from the clothes of the people in front of him that they are definitely not rich people. They offended the night patrol soldiers for three melons and two dates.  , not guilty.
