Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 43: Watching you lose money is more enjoyable than me making money!
Lu Siqi looked gloomy and clenched his fingers.

The original twenty leaflets were all sent to my own people, but now so many were produced out of thin air!

"Go and find out who is behind the scenes and working against my Lu family. I really want to die!"

The attendant went to do it immediately after receiving the order. About evening, the attendant came back and his face was obviously not good.

Lu Siqi quickly asked: "Found it? Who is it?"

The entourage said: "Our people have investigated all the streets in Chang'an City and found that at noon today, someone was handing out flyers for our restaurant at Yanxing Gate and Tonghua Gate. I heard that they had a lot of them."

Hearing this, Lu Siqi said angrily: "Impossible! Didn't we only print twenty copies? Where did we get so many?"

"Besides, the price of paper is so high, how can anyone give it out for free!"

The attendant hurriedly said: "We haven't investigated yet, but what is certain now is that the leaflets distributed by those people are exactly the same as those distributed by us. There is no difference at all."

Lu Siqi couldn't help but start thinking.

Although the Tang Dynasty had papermaking technology, the price of papermaking was high. The price of a piece of paper reached five to six hundred yuan. Only aristocratic families and nobles could afford it, and ordinary families could not afford it.

But now, these flyers alone total twenty or thirty pieces. How can it be something that normal people can afford? !

He couldn't help but think of Lin Heng and his confident expression today, and he couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that he was using this to ruin his own business?

But how could he, a farmer, afford such a huge expense?

Moreover, there are so many leaflets that cannot be copied even in such a short time.

Lu Siqi stopped thinking about the matter and continued to ask people to investigate. Then he asked the shopkeeper: "How is the income and expenditure today?"

The shopkeeper quickly said: "Boss, [-]% of the customers who came today relied on flyers for free. I have calculated it several times and our store has lost thirty guan today."

Lu Siqi took a long breath: "I will solve it as soon as possible at this time and ask the guys in the store who came from Tianliju to see what the boiled vegetables are all about."

Thirty dollars was just a drop in the bucket to him, but he had never suffered losses in business for so many years, so he was naturally unconvinced.

Lu Siqi snorted coldly and said: "No matter whose method it is, my reputation as a guest in heaven has spread anyway. So what if Lin Heng has a new dish!"

"Anyway, we can at least compete with Lin Heng on the same level. When the discounts are even greater, I don't believe that Lin Heng will collapse!"

The attendant sneered: "Then Lin Heng is just a farmer. How he can compare with the Lu family is just a matter of time!"

"My boss has a clever strategy that everyone in Chang'an knows. He will definitely be able to make Tianshang Guest the number one restaurant in Chang'an!"

The next morning, Lu Siqi, who came to Tianshang Guesthouse, was dumbfounded again.

The building was already full, but there were hundreds of people queuing around the door.

And in everyone's hand, there is a flyer from the Heavenly Guest!
"what is the problem!"

Lu Siqi's face turned dark, but his roar obviously couldn't cover up the talking crowd.

"The customers are so generous today. I came here yesterday to eat for nothing. I ordered all the most expensive things in the store without spending a penny. I plan to change my taste today."

"When did the aristocratic family become so generous? This is the first time in my life."

"Haha, don't care about him, the family is rich anyway, just eat what he has!"

It's a good idea for these untouchables to want to eat and drink from aristocratic families for free!

Lu Siqi was full of anger and was about to drive people away, but was immediately stopped by his entourage.

"My boss, you can't. If we really drive them away, it will damage the face of the family!"

"Is it possible to see these people eating and drinking for free?" Seeing Lu Siqi's anger, the entourage also said quickly: "There is definitely someone obstructing this matter. I will find this person as soon as possible, but if we drive them away now, the Lu family will Your reputation is ruined all of a sudden!"

Lu Siqi tried hard to control his anger.

He couldn't help but start thinking that if he really did this, the reputation of Tianshangke and even the Lu family in Chang'an would suddenly be bad.

Fan Yang's people will definitely come to hold him accountable. If it's serious, the identity of the head of Chang'an may not be secure.

Lu Siqi stayed as calm as possible and suppressed the thought of driving people away.

Just at this time, Lin Heng came over.

Seeing so many people, Lin Heng showed envy on his face and was shocked.

"Shopkeeper Lu is so clever. It has only been two days since the opening and so many people have come to support it. If this is the case, my natural residence will definitely not be able to sustain it for a few more days. I hope Shopkeeper Lu will be so generous!"

Seeing Lin Heng, Lu Siqi immediately stared at him fiercely: "Lin Heng, don't tell me that you are the one behind this!"

Lin Heng looked stunned: "Shopkeeper Lu thinks too highly of me. How can I afford so many flyers? Do I still want to do business in this store?"

Lu Siqi left angrily, leaving Lin Heng there to have fun.

"Shopkeeper Lu, I'm here to help you with publicity, so I don't have to worry about you not being famous, so you're welcome!"

For Uncle Wang, there is no problem in making five thousand sheets of paper every day, and the cost is extremely low. A piece of paper only costs two cents.

As for printing, [-] sheets a day is not a problem, and the cost is only ink and engraving.

Watching others lose money is simply more fun than making money yourself!

As soon as Lu Siqi arrived at the restaurant and sat down for a while, someone from the aristocratic family came to send a message saying that the Cui family wanted to see him.

His face suddenly fell again.

Inside the Cui family's mansion.

"Lu Siqi! What the hell are you doing? Even if it's just for publicity, you don't have to do it. Are you a fool?"

"I just learned today that I lost more than 30 dollars yesterday alone. There are more people eating and drinking for free today. Is it possible that you have to lose all the money we people invested to be happy!"

Cui Hong opened his mouth and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"Shisun, should you explain to us about the guests from heaven?"

Hearing this, Lu Siqi said quickly: "I didn't do this, there was someone behind the scenes, handing out leaflets to those untouchables in a big way!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Wang Shaoyu of the Wang family said in confusion: "I've also seen that paper. It's good quality paper. In Chang'an, it costs at least five or six hundred yuan per piece. Even if someone is up to something, how can ordinary people make such a large investment?"

"To be able to use so much paper on this matter must have a great background, and it is definitely not Lin Heng's doing."

One person suddenly said: "Is it possible that His Majesty wants to protect Lin Heng?"

As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.

If it was really His Majesty, that would be troublesome.

Cui Hong shook his head: "With so many leaflets, even if he has paper, copying so many leaflets requires a lot of manual labor, and the text and pictures on the leaflets are all exactly the same. There is no difference at all, even if His Majesty comes here." There’s no way to do this.”

"What on earth is going on?"
