Zhu He held a fan in his hand, and he tapped Zhong Zhouyi's heart with the fan: "Young Master Zhong is not in good health, so getting angry every now and then is not good for your health."

"I don't need to bother you." Zhong Zhouyi's face was serious, "Please go out now."

Zhu He stood there, unmoved and said: "Young Master Zhong, I came to you to discuss business with you sincerely, how about some face?"

Zhong Zhouyi said in a deep voice: "I don't need it, and my restaurant is fine, so I don't think there is anything to talk about."

Zhu He glanced around: "Isn't it because you can't keep this restaurant open?"

Zhong Zhouyi replied angrily: "Who told you it can't be opened, we just repaired it again."

Zhu He's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Young Master Zhong, you also know that opening a restaurant is not based on whether the repairs are good or not, but on the things. As long as your restaurant has good things, people will come to taste them from thousands of miles away. But it has no distinctive features, so it can only be closed down."

Zhong Zhouyi said with a cold face: "You can worry about your restaurant, we really don't bother you here."

Zhu He frowned: "Young Master Zhong, I can buy it at a high price this time. If your business fails in the future, I won't pay such a high price."

Zhong Zhouyi said coldly: "Go slowly, I won't see you off!"

Zhu He snorted, pointed at Zhong Zhouyi with his fan, and left with others.

Shen Ruoxi blinked and asked, "Who is this person?"

Zhong Zhouyi took a breath, suppressing his anger: "Grandpa once had a good friend Zhu Gui, and the two of them came to the capital to work hard together and earned a huge family fortune."

"Everything was fine at first, but Zhu Gui fell in love with a girl from a brothel. Grandpa persuaded him, saying that she was cheating on him, but Zhu Gui felt that Grandpa was jealous that he had beautiful girls who liked him."

"Grandpa saw that Zhu Gui didn't listen to his dissuasion many times, so he didn't say anything else."

"Later, Zhu Gui actually used the money they earned together to please the brothel girl. Grandpa was immediately upset, so he said a few words to Zhu Gui."

"After Zhu Gui heard what grandpa said, under anger, he drew a clear line with grandpa and was never a good brother."

"Grandpa didn't say anything. Anyway, Zhu Gui can't bring him up anymore. It would be better for him to do it alone."

"But for the sake of being from the same village, Grandpa went to the brothel girl and told her not to deceive Zhu Gui any more."

"Unexpectedly, Zhu Gui saw this scene and thought that Grandpa intended to destroy the relationship between them."

"The woman in the brothel at the back really ignored Zhu Gui after seeing that he was worthless, and Zhu Gui felt more and more that it was Grandpa who was stirring up trouble, so she broke with Grandpa later."

"However, Zhu Gui is quite business-minded. After getting rid of the entanglement of the women in the brothel, he devoted himself to doing business. Afterwards, his business was comparable to that of his grandfather, but the two turned against each other completely."

"Until now, the Zhong family and the Zhu family have been enemies."

"That Zhu He just now is Zhu Gui's eldest grandson. He is about my age, but he is better than me, and he has no physical ailments. He does business with Zhu Gui, and his skills are pretty good."

"It's just that I didn't expect that the other party would pay attention to our Zhong family."

Shen Ruoxi sighed, it's been three generations, and the grievances are still so strong: "They're all enemies, it's no surprise that Zhu He did this."

Zhong Zhouyi held Shen Ruoxi's hand: "Things outside are not as simple as in the village, Ruoxi, please take care of me."

Shen Ruoxi smiled at Zhong Zhouyi: "Don't worry, it's all trivial."

Knowing the grievances of the older generation, and making arrangements for the restaurant, Shen Ruoxi and Zhong Zhouyi went to the dyeing workshop.

……

Yun's Dyeing House can be said to be an old dyeing house for more than 20 years, and it should be said to be a relatively good dyeing house, but recently business problems have frequently occurred.

At this time, many people gathered around the store entrance of Yun's Dyeing Workshop to watch the excitement, and it sounded a bit noisy in the store.

"Shopkeeper Yang, according to the contract, if you fail to finish dyeing the cloth on time, you need to compensate me 300 taels of silver."

"Shopkeeper Yang, I need to pay 500 taels for mine."

A shopkeeper Qin and a shopkeeper Zhao each held a contract in their hands, standing in front of the counter and arguing with the people behind the counter.

Standing behind the counter is the shopkeeper Yang, Yang's nephew, Yang Heng.

Yang Heng's attitude was arrogant: "You can either wait to dye the cloth, or you can sue the officials. I don't have any money to pay you."

The two shopkeepers were taken aback by Yang Heng's unreasonable attitude: they have been doing business for so long, and this is the first time they have encountered such a situation, so they have learned a lot.

Shopkeeper Qin said with a cold face: "Shopkeeper Yang, we are talking with you to discuss it, so don't be a rascal."

Yang Heng's attitude was casual, and he didn't seem to care about the predicament in front of him: "You can do whatever you want, anyway, I have no money to compensate you."

Two shopkeepers: "..."

"Since shopkeeper Yang accepted the dyeing workshop, the business has been worsening day by day."

"If this continues, this dyeing workshop may close down."

"It's a pity that the old dyeing workshop of 30 was defeated by such a person."

The neighbors in the neighborhood who were watching were discussing and couldn't help feeling sorry.

When Shen Ruoxi and Zhong Zhouyi arrived, Shopkeeper Qin and Shopkeeper Zhao were about to leave. They were going to sue the officials, and they must get back the lost money.

Zhong Zhouyi stepped forward to stop the two of them: "Two shopkeepers, calm down. The people under him are ignorant and have annoyed the two of you. Next, we will talk to you and make sure you are satisfied."

The two shopkeepers looked at Zhong Zhouyi suspiciously: "Who are you?"

Zhong Zhouyi clasped his fists in salute and said, "At Xia Zhong Zhouyi, this dyeing workshop was Jiaci's dowry during his lifetime. I used to be in poor health and neglected to manage it. Now that I am in good health, I can handle things."

Shopkeeper Qin asked with lingering anger, "You really can make the decision?"

"Yes." Zhong Zhouyi replied very positively.

Shopkeeper Qin and Shopkeeper Zhao looked at each other the same way, Shopkeeper Zhao said: "Then let's talk again, but if it's like that one, don't blame us for being rude."

Zhong Zhouyi said steadily: "Don't worry, I will give you both a satisfactory answer."

"Seeing that Master Zhong is so sincere, let's talk again." Several people turned back.

At this time, Yang Heng also saw Zhong Zhouyi, and felt a little scared. After all, no one knew better than him what was going on in the dyeing workshop.

But after thinking about it, what is there to be afraid of a young master recovering from a serious illness? Does he know anything about business?
Thinking of it this way, I was not afraid immediately, and showed a look of contempt anyway.

Yang Heng went up to meet him: "Master Zhong, are you here?"

Zhong Zhouyi looked strange when he saw Yang Heng. He had never seen this person before: "Do I know you?"

The expression on Yang Heng's face froze: "Master Zhong, I'm your second mother's nephew, don't you know me?"

Zhong Zhouyi asked indifferently: "Should I know you?"

A trace of anger flashed in Yang Heng's heart, but Zhong Zhouyi was not something he could provoke, so he suppressed his anger: "Young Master Zhong, what's the reason for your sudden visit?"

Zhong Zhouyi asked rhetorically, "This is my shop, so I can't come?"

Yang Heng cursed a few words in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged: "That's not what I mean, what I mean is, you never come to the shop in the past, why did you suddenly come now?"

Zhong Zhouyi said with an ugly face: "Because I found something wrong with the shop."

Yang Heng trembled in his heart: "The shop is fine, I don't know what went wrong, or did someone say something in front of you?"

"What else do you need to say?" Zhong Zhouyi looked at Shopkeeper Qin and Shopkeeper Zhao, and asked Yang Heng, "What's the matter with them?"

Yang Heng was speechless.

Zhong Zhouyi stopped talking nonsense with Yang Heng, and dealt with the problem first, then he turned his head and said to the two shopkeepers: "Please sit in the guest room, let's talk slowly."

Seeing Zhong Zhouyi's polite appearance, the two shopkeepers also cooperated and entered the guest room together.

Shen Ruoxi didn't go to the guest room, she was looking at the shop outside.

The dyeing workshop is divided into three parts, one part is the store that sells dyes outside, the other is the cloth dyeing part, and the other is the dyeing workshop. The three are integrated into one. The dyeing workshop is a very profitable business, even more profitable than the pharmacy, but now it is doing It has become a loss-making business, which is puzzling.

Yang Heng looked in the direction of the guest room, then at Shen Ruoxi, and then asked Shen Ruoxi to go: "Madam, do you want to buy dye?"

Shen Ruoxi: This person doesn't know me?That's fine, let's try it out.

Shen Ruoxi asked, "How do you sell the dye?"

"The price of the dyes in our shop is fair, and the dyes are high-quality, among the best in the capital." Yang Heng boasted, "Madam has a good eye, and she walked into my shop."

Shen Ruoxi glanced at Yang Heng indifferently: "Tell me directly how to sell it. If it's suitable, I'm going to open a dyeing workshop and I'll get the dye from your house."

When Yang Heng heard this, he was overjoyed: "The dyes in this row are relatively inferior. There are 35 kinds in total. A box of five catties sells for five taels of silver. It can dye 250 pieces of cloth."

As he said that, he took Shen Ruoxi to another row of wooden racks: "This row is better. There are also 35 kinds of paints, a box of five catties, selling for ten taels of silver, and can also dye 250 bolts of cloth."

There is a row of shelves at the end. Yang Heng introduced: "This row is the best. There are still 35 kinds of pigments, a box of five catties, and a box of 30 taels. The clothes worn by the nobles are all dyed with these dyes. , the color is beautiful and eye-catching, and it is very popular among rich people.”

Yang Heng saw that Shen Ruoxi's face remained unchanged, and she was looking at the dye seriously, thinking that she wanted to buy it, so he flattered him: "Ma'am, what color is your dyeing workshop going to dye?"

Shen Ruoxi took a box of dye and opened it to look: "I'll take a look first, I haven't decided yet."

Yang Heng enthusiastically said: "Take a look slowly, you can ask me any questions you have."

Shen Ruoxi glanced at Yang Heng: It seems that the business should be good, and the dyes are expensive, how could people come to pay for it?

Shen Ruoxi tentatively asked: "Can your shop handle the work of dyeing cloth?"

Yang Heng nodded: "I want to pick it up, Madam is not going to open a shop, are you going to change business?"

Shen Ruoxi said lightly: "Let's ask, let me figure out which one is more cost-effective."

Yang Heng said clearly: "Let us dye it for you. One piece of cloth is fifty cents, one hundred pieces of cloth are delivered in three days, two hundred pieces are delivered in seven days, and three hundred pieces are delivered in twelve days..."

Shen Ruoxi asked: "What if you can't deliver the goods?"

Yang Heng replied: "Ten times the compensation."

Shen Ruoxi turned her head to look at Yang Heng, and asked with some doubts: "Is it really going to be compensated?"

Yang Heng lacked confidence, but his voice was very loud, which seemed to be able to cover up his guilty conscience: "Really, will my huge dyeing workshop still lie to you?"

Shen Ruoxi deliberately said: "Then you have to dye it well, and pay ten times the compensation, which is quite a lot of money."

Yang Heng smiled and said: "No, we all deliver on time, hello, how are you, everyone."

Shen Ruoxi: What you say is better than what you sing, if it is true, then there will be no trouble with the two shopkeepers just now.

"Then I'll think about it." Shen Ruoxi said.

"Okay, madam, let's look at the dye." Yang Heng heaved a sigh of relief, as if he didn't want people to come to the shop to dye the cloth, Shen Ruoxi kept this doubt in his heart, and went to have a look later.
