Chapter 308: don't even think about it
After assigning tasks to each of the three children, Su Ying asked the guards to prepare a humble carriage and took Bai Shuang out of the house.
The first thing they went to was the restaurant closest to the Wangfu, which was the one with the best location but was still losing money.
When they arrived, it was just around noon, and the restaurant was full of people, even the lobby on the first floor was almost full.
Su Ying and Bai Shuang walked outside the door of the restaurant, and a waiter came forward to meet them.
"Are the two guests going to eat?"
"Well, just choose a seat in the lobby."
The guy was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Su Ying to be willing to sit in the lobby. Those who can come to their restaurant to eat are either rich or expensive, and they are more or less particular about it. Women rarely sit in the lobby.
But Su Ying asked so, the man invited her in anyway, and there happened to be a vacant seat near the corner of the lobby.
"What do you two want to eat, just tell the younger one."
"Bring me all your signature dishes."
"Hey, okay, just wait a moment."
While Su Ying and the others were waiting, more and more people came to the restaurant, and they could barely sit down and had to ask people to wait outside.
The efficiency of the back kitchen of the restaurant is also very high, and the food is served quickly.
"Look, ma'am, this is our restaurant's signature crispy chicken, this is carp jumping over the dragon's gate, and this braised lion head..."
The buddy repeatedly reported the names of a series of dishes.
"How much is this table?"
After calculating, the fellow said: "Madam, these dishes are worth five taels of silver."
Su Ying nodded noncommittally, signaling him to back down.
Bai Shuang looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but click her tongue, "This dish costs about one tael of silver..."
The ingredients seem to be ordinary things, and all of them add up to only three hundred copper plates.
With such vegetable prices, can this restaurant lose money every year?
Su Ying didn't say anything, since the food was served, how could there be any reason not to eat it?
After eating and drinking, Su Ying put down her chopsticks and asked the waiter to find the shopkeeper.
The guy responded with a smile, and called the shopkeeper who was doing the accounting to him.
Shopkeeper Li was a little puzzled when he saw Su Ying, "Madam, I don't know why you want to see me?"
Su Ying said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, I just want to talk to you about buying this restaurant."
Shopkeeper Li was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Madam, are you joking?"
"You look like I'm joking. I heard that your restaurant has been losing money for years and can only barely support it. It's such a waste of such a good place, so I plan to pay a sum of money to take it down. How does the shopkeeper feel? "
Shopkeeper Li couldn't help laughing when he heard Su Ying's words, it was a sneer, "Don't be ridiculous, madam, you have seen it too, how can such a big restaurant like ours lose money? If you want to buy it, I'm afraid it will empty you out." , You can’t take down this restaurant either.”
"I don't believe it. I'll pay you one thousand taels of silver. You can send someone to sign the contract."
Shopkeeper Li concluded that Su Ying was here to find fault. His smiling face gradually faded, and he stared at Su Ying disdainfully and said, "If madam comes to make trouble, then don't blame me for being rude."
"You guys are losing money every year. I will pay you now and let you give me this restaurant. Why am I here to make trouble?"
Su Ying couldn't help raising her voice, and everyone around her laughed.
"Madam, don't be ridiculous. This is Deyang Tower. How can Deyang Tower lose money? The monthly income is almost a few hundred taels of silver. You want a thousand taels of silver to buy Deyang Tower. Isn't this a joke?"
The diners next to him spoke for shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li looked at Su Ying proudly, "Did you hear that? I didn't say this alone."
Su Ying nodded suddenly, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Oh... so you have been making false accounts."
Shopkeeper Li's eyes changed slightly, and he stared at Su Ying vigilantly, "Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Su Ying stretched out his hand, and Bai Shuang threw an account book on the table, "You have been here for a long time, so come and explain to me why Deyang Tower loses money almost every year on this account book, eh?"
Shopkeeper Li shrank his pupils, "Who the **** are you?"
"The owner of this restaurant, who do you think I am?"
Shopkeeper Li turned around and wanted to run when he heard the words.
Su Ying picked up the chopsticks on the table and threw them out.
"ah!"
The chopsticks pierced into Shopkeeper Li's thigh fiercely, and Shopkeeper Li fell to the ground in embarrassment.
The diners in the restaurant were startled when they saw this, and many of them ran out. Su Ying immediately asked the guards at the door to block the door.
Su Ying glanced at them indifferently, "You want to run away before the money is paid?"
Shopkeeper Li looked back at Su Ying who was walking step by step, and backed away in fright, "You, you are Princess Qi!"
During this period of time, Su Ying's brutal reputation had already been spread under the operation of all parties, and shopkeeper Li couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
Su Ying came to him and looked down at him condescendingly, "Fake accounts, who asked you to do it?"
"It's a loss, it's a loss, it's not fake... No!" Shopkeeper Li suddenly glared at Su Ying behind him, "What are you doing, why don't you give me a hand!"
The thugs who came to inquire behind rushed over, they didn't care about Su Ying's identity, they would listen to whoever gave them money.
Su Ying's eyebrows twitched, she grabbed the bench beside her and slammed it on the thugs with a "bang".
A dozen thugs were knocked to the ground by Su Ying in less than a quarter of an hour.
Shopkeeper Li was so frightened that his face paled, and he tried his best to crawl out the door, but Su Ying stepped on his thigh.
"I'll give you one hour, so that the person who swallowed the silver will send all the silver over immediately."
Su Ying kicked her feet hard, and shopkeeper Li's screams resounded throughout the restaurant.
The diners were so frightened that they paid out their money and left, fearing that they would become the fish in the pond that was affected.
"Prince, please forgive me. It's the prime minister's wife, who asked me to make fake accounts." Shopkeeper Li's face was pale with pain, and his voice became hoarse.
Su Ying lowered her eyes and patted the debris on the skirt, "I don't care who it is, I want to see the banknote in an hour, and if you come a quarter of an hour late, I will crush a bone of yours until all the bones in your body are gone." until it is crushed."
"Yes, yes..." Shopkeeper Li shouted to the hiding man, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you send a letter to the prime minister's wife, hurry up!"
The buddy was so frightened that he rushed out of the restaurant and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find someone.
Shopkeeper Li is the distant cousin of Xiaojiang Yuanshi. After getting the news, shopkeeper Li's family also followed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Madam, you must save your cousin, he has worked hard for you all these years!"
Xiao Jiangyuan's face was dark and sullen, and he just wanted to crush Su Ying to death.
"If you don't save people, you, don't think about it!"
