Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 25
The clerks in the store could probably guess why Wang Tong got angry. The young shop owner also felt sorry for his family background, so it was not without reason that he got angry.All good filial piety comes first, and Wang usually hates himself for not having the opportunity to be filial. When encountering such a thing, he can't bear it.

This is just a small episode in the normal business, and as the number of customers in the store gradually increases, it is put in the back of the mind and forgotten.

On the night of the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, in a secluded house somewhere.

This seems to be the side hall of a middle-class family, everything is very simple, and sitting at the top is a woman in cloth and wooden hairpin, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and said with emotion:
"I thought I'd have to be petty as usual, but I didn't expect to come over to say hello. This kid has really grown up. It's really good to go out and relax..."

The middle-aged man in the uniform was not as majestic as he was outside. He bowed his head respectfully and stood at the bottom. Hearing the words above, he couldn't help but narrate what happened in the delicious restaurant with a wry smile. , and finally said:

"...Perhaps someone who has nothing to do with it stops drinking and touches the heartstrings..."

The woman raised her head, her face of less than 40 years old was full of majesty, and said solemnly:

"Now we can't hide any news from here. The outside world is very well-informed. The pawn must have been arranged by someone with a heart to get close. Check it out!"

The middle-aged man at the bottom hurriedly saluted and agreed, but he didn't dare to raise his head. He just said goodbye and left when he heard the woman say casually:

"Don't tell Mr. Zhang about these things..."

The night of the second day was also in this secluded house.

"...I'm 13 years old this year. I lost my father in the middle of the year. I don't have any relatives in the capital. I run this restaurant by myself. The business is good, but I have a violent temper. I beat my colleagues and those who provoked me, but I didn't suffer..."

The middle-aged man spoke in detail, and the woman at the top listened carefully, and only smiled and nodded to comment after the introduction was finished.

"...It's about the same age, um, a lonely child can say these words, he shouldn't have any scheming, he must have felt it...he is sincere and capable..."

On the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the number of customers in the store in the afternoon did not decrease, and there were always half of the seats in the store with customers.

It seemed that there was no major change in the passenger flow, Wang Tong finally felt relieved, told Zhang Shiqiang a few words, and went out by himself.

Despite the fact that there are only two local shops in South Street that are still open, Juyifang is still very popular. People who gamble on weekdays are even more free in the twelfth lunar month. I'm going to run outside to hide from the debt, take this opportunity to make some money, maybe I can pay back the debt.

Wang Tong walked to the gate of Juyifang, clasped his fists to the two big men guarding the gate and said with a smile:

"Wang Tong, the proprietor of the Delicious Restaurant, please see the shopkeeper He of your workshop."

Wang Tong, who has no clothes, wears the Jinyiwei Feiyu uniform every day. The big man standing at the door looked at him quite warily. Hearing this, he looked at each other, and a big man said:

"Adults wait a moment, the younger ones go pass it on!"

The guards in this gambling house were so indifferent to Jin Yiwei who was wearing this robe, and they didn't invite him in first, they just talked about it. From this, it can be seen that this gambling house is really confident and has a strong background.

The guard who went in to communicate came out after a while, and said politely with a smile on his face:

"My shopkeeper invites you, my lord, come with me."

The air in the gambling house was quite dirty, and each gaming table was surrounded by people, yelling and clamoring there, even the croupier inside could not see their faces, only the hands holding the dice cup high.

Some gamblers yelled while eating a piece of sesame seed cake, and cursed there:

"Go out to buy pancakes, but you won't be able to squeeze in when you come back, it's a waste of my good luck!!"

He Jinyin, who was wearing a blue satin padded robe, was in the side room behind the gambling house, sitting on a chair with a sword and drinking, a silver jug ​​was warming in a casserole beside it.

"Rare guest, rare guest, is Mr. Wang here to play a few games?"

He Jinyin stood up, cupped his fists, sat down casually, and joked that Wang Tong didn't care, he was just a pawn in Jinyi's army, how many capable people in the capital would put himself in the eye, he smiled and cupped his fists Reciprocated and said:

"Thank you Brother He for your kindness. In fact, you are here this time to earn some money in Brother He's business?"

Hearing this, He Jinyin touched her bald head, but her face turned cold, and she said in a cold voice:
"Brother can't be the master, Mr. Wang, do you know who the owner of this shop is?"

"Of course, Brother He is the master. I see that the gamblers in the gambling shop trot out to buy some dry food at noon, and then come back to gamble. The time spent walking away will always delay the business of the gaming table. Brother, the restaurant over there promises all these meals, firstly, it is convenient and quick to eat, and secondly, it does not waste time on the gaming table, what do you think, Brother He?"

He Jinyin was stunned first, and then nodded slowly after thinking for a long time. In the eyes of people in this era, if you make money, someone must make less or lose money. But Wang Tong's suggestion is beneficial to both parties. He Jinyin pondered After thinking about it for a long time, I always felt that there was a fraud in it, but I couldn't think of any fraud.

And this is indeed a good suggestion, especially during the New Year's Eve, when the gamblers in the casino go out to buy food, the casino becomes deserted, and they lose a lot of money.

He Jinyin thought about Wang Tong's identity as the proprietor of the Delicious Restaurant, and then looked at the robe of Jin Yiwei on the other party. The other party's proposal did not interfere with him, so he agreed.

Wang Tong was all smiles when he came out of the casino. The casino is the most crowded place in South Street. These gamblers are unwilling to leave the gaming table. If there is a place nearby to buy and sell food, it will meet their needs.

Those who can gamble here generally don't care about how much money they spend. As long as they are cheap and clean, and the taste is decent, they will definitely be able to attract these customers.

Because the business in the store is getting better, the Delicious Restaurant needs to recruit a lot of people, but this kind of fast food, it is very important to maintain the quality of service and food, and the customers have no loyalty. If you want to keep customers and keep the prosperity, you must carry out strict training , Wang Tong has already made a plan. When the time comes, the food and welcome in the gambling shop will be regarded as training for new players. Gamblers don't care much about the taste, which will bring time for the growth of new and old players.

When he returned to the gate of the Delicious Restaurant, Wang Tong saw many eunuchs and imperial guards wandering around the street. He was in a good mood and couldn't help smiling and shaking his head. In this cold weather, most of the shops on the street were closed. What is there to stroll around.

He opened the curtain and entered the store, but saw that the store was empty, only the little fat man whom he scolded as an unfilial person, and the middle-aged employee were sitting outside the store.
