Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 88 "Struggling"

The sound seemed to be a battle horn. The two looked at each other and suddenly smiled. Tong Xiangyu stretched out his hand to signal Sai Diaochan to sit down and said in his mouth:
"When you come, you are a guest! How can you let a guest stand here!"

Tong Xiangyu's words are saying that this is my place and my territory, you should keep a low profile and don't overwhelm the host.

Upon hearing this, Sai Diaochan followed Tong Xiangyu's guidance and sat gracefully on the bench, as if saying that if you hadn't invited me, I wouldn't be sitting in such a humble place.

The two had already drawn their swords out of their sheaths in the first round of confrontation, which made everyone excited.

At this time, Tong Xiangyu smiled indifferently and said:

"I don't know why shopkeeper Sai came to my shop? Your restaurant is a big business! Time is precious!"

Sai Diaochan followed Tong Xiangyu's topic, pointed to the opposite restaurant and said:
"Thanks to the care of all friends in the county, the business of my newly opened restaurant is not bad..."

Hearing Sai Diaochan's ostentatious words, Tong Xiangyu gritted her silver teeth and secretly thought of you, if this is still a business?My inn was about to close down, thinking of this, Tong Xiangyu's face remained unchanged and motioned for Sai Diaochan to continue talking.

Seeing that Tong Xiangyu was not fooled by Sai Diaochan, she had no choice but to say loudly the purpose of her visit:
"I'm going to invite you to my restaurant this time. I have observed your strength in detail these days. With your strength, it is really inferior to this small inn."

When everyone heard the words, they pointed at her in surprise and looked at her as a confirmation, Sai Diaochan nodded affirmatively, seeing her so sure, everyone laughed triumphantly.

Seeing everyone's performance, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help being full of black lines. These guys really didn't give her face.

The reason for everyone's joy is of course not because of Sai Diaochan's boasting, but because of Tong Xiangyu's gesture to let him know how powerful his employees are in the eyes of outsiders.

Seeing this, Sai Diaochan thought there was something to be done, and after explaining the treatment conditions clearly, she smiled and greeted Tong Xiangyu's livid face and took the maid to leave.

Seeing that Sai Diaochan left Tong Xiangyu, she couldn't bear her emotions anymore, and shouted angrily:

"Look at her! What an air!"

Zhang Chen came to the long table and sat down, playing with the tea cup and said with a smile:

"The more she behaves like this, the more it means that we are threatening them more? A few days ago, they looked dismissive."

Bai Zhantang came to Tong Xiangyu's side and poured tea for her attentively, explaining:

"Obviously they saw our passenger flow today and wanted to make a secret move, so they came here today to sow discord between us."

Tong Xiangyu is not worried about this, and confidently expresses that she absolutely trusts everyone.

But looking at the restaurant opposite, he said worriedly:

"This shopkeeper Sai is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Look at that posture, he is not a person from an ordinary family. Why did he come to Qixia Town?"

When Zhang Chen heard the words, he thought that the demeanor and actions of their master and servant at that time did not look like a master-servant relationship now. It is not common for Xiao Cui to always talk past the master.

And it reminded him of the unlucky thief who was caught by Xing Tutou before. People from Dongchang came to Qixia Town to inquire about news. They may not be here to find someone this time.

If this is the case, the time is too late, but one thing is certain, they are definitely not as simple as in the original plot.

Zhang Chen didn't tell the guess in his heart, but discussed with everyone what the origin of Sai Diaochan was. When everyone was guessing wildly, Dazui ran back from the door and said mysteriously:

"It's a good thing we thought of this trick to send ice to the county government to cool down the heat, or else we'll be short again."

"Guess who I saw in the county office?"

Seeing Dazui's mysterious face obviously made everyone guess, Zhang Chen stretched his hands on the long table and said relaxedly:

"Who else! It must be the group from the restaurant opposite!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Seeing Da Zui's puzzled expression, Bai Zhantang patted Da Zui's shoulder and said:

"Big mouth! You should stay in the kitchen from now on, it's the best place for you"

Xiucai helplessly explained to Dazui that the only opponent in the inn is the restaurant opposite, and the enemy who made you so nervous must be an enemy related to us, so the restaurant opposite is the only one.

Big Mouth was a little skeptical about Xiucai's analysis, and turned to look at everyone who nodded in agreement, so he said disappointedly:
"When I first arrived there, I saw several food boxes placed in my uncle's place, the prefect of Louzhi County. The officials said that they were sent by Yihong Restaurant. The reason was to thank everyone for their support to the restaurant in the town."

"You say they are clearly maintaining their relationship!"

Everyone didn't care about the big-mouthed remarks. After all, sending ice is also a kind of relationship maintenance. In essence, it is no different from the opposite side. It is the need to maintain the strength of the face.

Tong Xiangyu suggested to everyone that Sai Diaochan has the means. The business of inns and restaurants like ours, where people come and go, needs to maintain the relationship with the government the most. Most people would not think of taking the initiative to maintain it.

Everyone agrees. After all, ordinary traders are naturally afraid of the government, even the servants in the county government, that is, Xing Tutou is close to the merchants in the town, so everyone is not afraid of arresting them quickly, but it is still a bit difficult for them to go to the county government on their own initiative.

After the analysis, everyone stopped here because it didn't explain anything, and they still knew too little about them. Finally, Tong Xiangyu made a final decision and said:

"Leave them alone! What's the use of guessing here? Let's go!"

Immediately, everyone left the long table to find their own work and pretended to be busy. After all, when the inn was busy, there were only a few sporadic guests at noon and other times in the evening, which was why everyone could chat together from time to time.

evening!

After seeing off the last guest, Zhang Chen leaned against the door frame and saw that the opposite side was still brightly lit and said to the room:

"Can they still be considered a restaurant when they run it like this? There are so many items in it?"

Bai Zhantang looked down on this point and teased Zhang Chen, saying:

"Hasn't Xiaochen been to that kind of place yet? When you have time, Brother Bai will show you around..."

Before Bai Zhantang finished speaking, Zhang Chen kept pointing his eyes backwards. Bai Zhantang's body turned cold, thinking that Tong Xiangyu was standing behind him, and said in a panic:

"The shopkeeper is just kidding! Listen to me, I didn't spoil Xiaochen, and I didn't go there because I heard other people say it."

Seeing Bai Zhantang's timid confession, Zhang Chen couldn't help laughing out loud. Why didn't Bai Zhantang know that he was being tricked and gritted his teeth and said:
"Good boy! You will be miserable when I find a chance!"

Zhang Chen shook his head indifferently and said:
"For now, it's me who has the upper hand!"

Zhang Chen's words pierced Bai Zhantang's heart like a sharp sword. He pretended to be injured and fell to the side of the long table and reached for the chicken legs on the plate. Zhang Chen smiled and rushed over to fight with Bai Zhantang.

At this time, there was a slight conversation in a dark room in the opposite restaurant...

　Thanks for the support!
