Chapter 93.2: 麻煩
[Trouble]
Qiu Wu quickly slipped away, and before he left, he thought to himself, ‘His master has really fallen this time. He had never seen his master so attached to anyone before.’
After Qiu Wu left, Gu Lang stayed in the same place for a while, his fingers lightly tapping on the desktop, seemingly thinking about something. A few moments later, he lightly snorted a laugh, “It’s good to let you guys enjoy yourselves for a few more days, and just in time, my Xing Xing can also rest for a few days too.”
After saying that, Gu Lang lowered his eyes, restrained the chill in the air among them, and then slowly stood up, quickly reverting back to the previous gentle and harmless Mister Account.
When Gu Lang’s notice was placed outside the shop, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
“What is written on this notice?”
“It says that from today onwards, this restaurant will have a limited supply of food, and when it runs out, there will be no more to sell.”
“Didn’t they already limit the number of guests to thirty tables, and now they want to limit it again? They don’t want to do business or what?!”
“Business, I’m afraid this business of theirs will soon be impossible to do!”
“Huh, what do you mean by that? Tell me.”
“That’s right, you quickly say it, let everyone who listens to it be happy.”
“Since you all want to know so much, then I might as well tell you all. The shopkeeper of this shop has somehow offended Master Chen, so now Master Chen has given orders to the merchants under him, saying that they are not allowed to provide them with rice and vegetables. Whoever provides, meaning that they are against their Chen family!”
“How can that be? Then use what to entertain the guests? Isn’t it to cut off people’s ways of making money?”
“That’s right, I see that the Chen family is also ruthless enough. Obviously their family is so rich, but it still makes it difficult for this small restaurant.”
“It must be because of what the owner of the restaurant did to provoke the Chen family, just look at how usually they are aloof from politics and material pursuits and only serve 30 tables.”
“Wang Da, you don’t have money for you to go in and eat. You’re probably saying that grapes are sour because you can’t eat them! Now that you see that someone else is about to close the shop, you’re still talking sour (sick at heart) words here.”
“I’m sour, what am I sour about?! Anyway, this shop is about to close down, those rich people can’t eat it even if they want to, so what do I have to be sour about?”
Next to the several people who heard Wang Da’s these words, shook their head and no longer argue with him, just look to the front door of the Chen family restaurant, with some regret and said that, “I would like to save enough money so that one day, I can bring my wife and children to eat here once. I did not think that even that fast, it would be closed. Hey, it’s such a pity, why offend them, yet go to offend the Chen family?”
The people outside the door were talking a lot with all sorts of comments, some were watching the fun. There were those who came to eat immediately after seeing the signboard, fearing that they would close the door. However Gu Lang was sitting there, looking at the crowd with a blank expression on his face, as if the discussion had nothing to do with him, it was as if those discussions had nothing to do with him.
However, this sudden influx of more people, Chen Xing originally planned to be able to last a few days of ingredients, immediately became overstretched (pull on the lapels only to expose the elbows (have too many difficulties (esp. financial) to cope with) again, so that he began to worry again.
At Chen Family,
Chen Old Master leisurely and carefully sat on the desk chair, next to the beautiful maid serving him, his fat body with the sling chair swaying back and forth, from time to time, as he ate the fruit fed by the maid, before then he drank some tea. His whole person looked relaxed and cozy.
Until a person who looked like a housekeeper came in, saluted the old master Chen, shortly after that, he reported: “Old Master, I have done and followed your instructions, I believe that the whole county city of rice shops and grocery stores will not sell things to them.”
Seeming to have known that this would be the case, the expression on the old master Chen’s face did not change much, he faintly said, “Then what is the reaction of that small restaurant’s side?”
The butler recalled, he felt that the small restaurant seemed to have no reaction at all, but he knew that he could not say this in front of Master Chen, so he flattered and said, “Naturally, they are very anxious, but there is nothing they can do about it, they can only be helpless and furious!”
Immediately after that, the butler looked at ‘seems to be in a good mood’ master Chen,knowing that what he bet was right, his eyes brightened at once as he continued: “However, I heard that they can not buy rice in the county and are ready to go to Lin County to buy. Master, do we need to do something?”
Master Chen’s rocking motion paused for a moment, and soon gently rocked again, with a bit of disbelief on his face, “I didn’t think that they would be able to make it this far, so let them know a little bit about what is called what things that they should do, and what is called as what they shouldn’t do.”
After saying that, Old Master Chen seemed to think of something, his eyes immediately brightened. His face showed a sinister smile, “No, you still let them pull, wait until their goods come into the city, you then think of a way to get them intercepted, I will see it next time, what method they have!”
“Yes.”
