The sound of howling outside was so loud that Grandma Qi was a little unhappy:
"This year is not over yet. Why don't you say a few happy words when you ask for food, and then cry when you come up?"
Aunt Lianhua was quite disdainful: "These beggars are all well-organized. If we can't give them later, we just say we don't have any change."
The seventh cousin is well-informed: "Wait a minute when you say this, and he will take out the QR code for you to scan. His mobile phone may be more advanced than yours."
Three people murmured and decided to pretend that no one was home. Otherwise, the beggar will insist on not leaving later, and they will cry when they hear this, and still have to give money, how frustrating it is!
However, just after the discussion was completed, I heard someone at the door asking:
“Who are you? What do you do?”
It is Zhang Yanping’s voice.
The seventh cousin sighed: Yan Ping is soft-hearted, I guess he still has to give him the money.
Outside the courtyard, Chef Bai's voice was muted and his mood was a bit out of control.
Zhang Yanping looked at him - he was well dressed. But why do you cry when you come up? Looking for cooperation is not this kind of cooperation method, right?
He frowned and looked at this man more and more suspiciously.
But the other person shrank subconsciously, with tears streaming down his face, and his whole body became cautious. After a while, he whispered:
"I…"
Tsk! Why are you so stubborn?
Zhang Yanping was a little impatient. The pig had just eaten so deliciously that it looked like he was hungry, so he asked again:
“Huh? What’s the matter?”
The man on the opposite side shrank carefully and silently took half a step back:
“I’m just coming…ahem…coming…”
Chef Bai’s voice became lower and lower until he finally couldn’t speak any more.
Because there was a fierce, dark and strong man standing opposite.
His face was tense, and when he looked sideways, he seemed ready to hit himself with a fist as big as a sand bowl at any time.
He has old arms and legs. If someone really beats him, wouldn't that be like making a fool of himself? And if he is beaten, whether he can go out safely in a remote mountain village is another matter!
Moreover, the other person’s expression was very ferocious when he spoke. He was definitely not a good person at first glance!
His face turned pale.
Zhang Yanping looked him over and over, and then he realized what he was doing. He quickly tugged on his coat again. Trying to speak gently:
"Don't worry, I won't hit you. Tell me, what are you here for?"
He started threatening people!
He seems to be really going to hit himself!
Chef Bai was really a little panicked. He subconsciously took out his cell phone. He wanted to find someone to encourage him, but when he flipped through the call history, there was no one else except the driver who was carrying the passengers!
But he finally made it to this mountain village. After a long journey, he couldn't return without success, right?
At this moment, Chef Bai was afraid and held on, but he was still a little scared and could not speak for a while.
This attitude made Zhang Yanping very angry.
He has been acting so gentle, what’s going on with the person opposite? When other bosses came over, they were not so frightened from the beginning!
So he raised his eyebrows: "What on earth do you do?"
Chef Bai trembled visibly, and took a deep breath. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of talking and laughing coming from the road on one side.
He turned around and saw a large group of people coming around from the bamboo forest, each holding hoes, shovels and rakes, staring at them with the same tense expressions.
Look at Zhang Yanping again...
Chef Bai took a breath, finally mustered up the courage to avoid Zhang Yanping's eyes, and then made a call:
“Hey...you are looking for the wrong place, you, you, you, hurry up and drive forward where you get off the car, I will take the car back..."
The driver who had just run to the county road responded blankly, thinking, is 400 yuan really not expensive? Didn’t you hear from your colleagues that it costs 200 yuan to charter a car here?
But money is not earned in vain. He turned the steering wheel and went back quickly.
The seventh cousin slowly came out of the yard and saw everyone gathered at the door and couldn't help but wonder:
“What are you doing?”
"Oh," Zhang Yanping came to his senses: "I'm hungry, and I was about to eat something. I saw a strange man standing at the door... He didn't say anything for a long time, and he acted like a thief."
“Are you a beggar?”
The seventh cousin laughed happily and looked at the figure trotting along the road in the distance—a little fat, not running fast, and still panting. How many steps has it taken? The bones in this body are not as strong as his!
“But Yanping, you can’t blame others. You yourself are fierce, so no one who looks at you should be stunned for a while.”
They were originally worried that Yan Ping would give him money because he was soft-hearted, but after hearing no movement for a long time, they knew that he must have scared people again.
Sigh, this child looked like a yeast bun when he first came here, but now he has become a hard, black-faced steamed bun—
Who can I talk to to reason with this? Those who didn’t know better thought he was very diligent in the countryside.
As soon as the seventh cousin said this, the fellow villagers at the door also started talking:
“That’s it! We were going to put the shovel back, but we saw Zhang Yanping standing at the door like he was about to hit someone. We were so scared that we didn’t dare to say a word.”
“That guy just now was sneaky. What did he want to do here? Don’t just step on me.”
“Hey, you saw that Yan Ping scared him away when he came back. You know that this person is cowardly—he put the **** here, and we will take it with him on the way in the afternoon.”
Everyone said goodbye in twos and threes, feeling their full stomachs and wandering home.
Zhang Yanping entered the courtyard with a dark face and sighed: "I'm afraid my ID card will be checked several times when I go out."
"Isn't that good?" Aunt Lianhua laughed: "From now on, people will only be polite to you. How safe it is. Having you in our family will save us a lot of worry..."
“You haven’t noticed, haven’t you? There are also some lazy workers in our village. If you put a pestle over there, they will work faster.”
“Oh, by the way, you can’t stand at the front desk when your B&B opens. Let Teacher Xin do it. He looks fair and elegant..."
Zhang Yanping:…
…
At this moment, Boss Chang also received a piece of news.
“What? That man named Bai went to Yunqiao Village?”
"Well, he invested all his house in a hotel, and now he has lost all his money. He is old and doesn't have much money... You also know his reputation, and jobs are not that easy to find. It's not because he doesn't know what, but he tried every means. I asked about Yunqiao Village..."
“That’s okay, anyway, the old Song family’s things won’t be sold to him.”
Boss Chang still has some confidence.
but…
“You should be more vigilant. I see that he is very proud and confident. Maybe he really has some trump card..."
As soon as I hung up the phone, I quickly called Song Tan.
“Boss Song...”
Song Tan tore the tape with a clicking sound. She took out her mobile phone and was still a little confused: "I told you that the spinach is gone. Just wait for another month...20 days!" , such as Chinese cabbage, spring spinach, lettuce, etc. These vegetables grow quickly, but in fact they really can’t wait a few days.
Boss Chang quickly explained: "It's not about buying vegetables. It's about the Youran Ecological Base opposite us. Our competitor, the chef who left before, said he found his way to the village."
ah?
Song Tan was stunned: "It's useless to find them. Didn't I agree to sell my food to you?"
In fact, not just anyone can meet Boss Chang who is so generous, forthright and open-minded.
Boss Chang smiled proudly and confidently on the other end of the phone - let’s just say, he is really charming!
At this moment, he hurriedly said: "I know, I know, we have always been happy to cooperate. The main thing is to remind you, in case he does something bad in the past..."
“That’s okay.”
Speaking of causing trouble, Song Tan is even more confident: "I have added new security this year, and more than 20 people patrol back and forth. Every day is full of work."
For example, now, more than a dozen people are still shoveling spinach in the field!
Boss Chang was also completely relieved and warned: "Chashan! More people must be patrolled in Chashan!"
“I want the orchard too! Why don’t you sell the orchard to Qian, Wang and Qian this year? They won’t be happy with the money... just sell it to me!”
“Vegetable fields, vegetable fields should not be taken lightly. The return rate of growing vegetables is so high! And it can be grown one crop after another..."
Song Tan:…
The old Song family gave him the nickname Chang Baobao, and he was right.
After hanging up the phone, Song Tan didn't remember it at all. Until when he went back to eat, Zhang Yanping was holding a bowl and said gloomily:
“You said the B&B is open, can’t I really stay there?”
Having begun to lay the foundation, he and Xin Jun had discussed it countless times, and they were still very emotional about their first business venture.
Qiao Qiao was also curious: "Why not? Although Brother Yanping looks very fierce, he is actually not fierce at all!"
Xin Jun laughed sullenly: "Maybe it's the guests who come to stay in the hotel, and they don't want to spend time getting to know his inner beauty."
Qiao Qiao thinks about it too: "When I went to the beach before, the sister at the front desk was very nice to me, but I didn't know her very well..."
Song Tan thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily. If you are marketing something [the most secure B&B], and put his face on the promotional picture, you might really be able to attract people."
Speaking of this, the seventh cousin laughed: "Don't tell me, Yan Ping's face is amazing! At noon, someone came to the door. I don't know what he was doing. He called Yan Ping's face before he entered the door. Gone."
Zhang Yanping was even more innocent: "I asked him what he was here for and who he was? He hesitated for a long time and was speechless, and finally ran away..."
“Compared with him, who is not a good person?”
Eh?
Song Tan remembered Boss Chang’s phone call.
“Perhaps we are really here to discuss cooperation. Boss Chang called and said that a chef from his opponent’s company is here.”
She said it casually, but Wu Lan and Song Sancheng became nervous: "I feel that Boss Chang is very nice and generous. He has found someone and then you sell it to him. How unethical! He paid a high price for everything. It’s unique.”
"I don't plan to sell it." Song Tan was just a little curious: "Boss Chang said that the other party was quite confident. I was also wondering if there was a particularly high price..."
As soon as he said this, everyone started thinking about it.
“Perhaps the person who scared away at noon was really... But when Boss Chang came to see us Yanping, he didn’t look like that!”
When Song Sancheng said this, he had obviously forgotten that Boss Chang brought two tall and strong cutters with him when he came over.
At this moment, he was very disdainful: "He has no courage at all. Is he really guilty? Most likely he is not here to talk about cooperation, but to cause damage in our fields."
Song Sancheng was very cautious: "You see in the TV series, sabotage in shopping malls, that, that idiom... intrigues and intrigues, it's all like this."
This is not impossible.
Song Tan thought of the more than 20 security guards hired by his family, and became happy again.
“As expected of me, you are so foresight.”
Cousin Seventh ate his meal silently, but at this moment he became a little angry:
“It’s right not to cooperate. This person doesn’t look happy and doesn’t fit in with our family.”
He took a sip of soup from the bowl and commented: "Who comes to the house empty-handed during the Chinese New Year to discuss cooperation? Before I even get in, I start crying."
“I thought he was begging for food.”
Qiaoqiao was a little regretful: "I didn't see it! What was he crying for?"
The seventh cousin shook his head: "I don't know. I was busy chopping garlic and I only heard a cry."
That's really unlucky. No wonder I can't do business as well as Boss Chang.
Everyone continued to eat and quickly forgot about the matter.
Here, Chef Bai sitting in the car looked gloomy and gritted his teeth.
Damn it!
It’s just a supplier, but it’s so strict! A village has developed such a group of people... Fortunately, he didn't call him Chef Song, otherwise if the other party got angry, he would have been beaten first!
but…
At any rate, I have been raised by Chef Song since I was a child. Although my parents were a bit bad at things back then, they would block the door and scold...
But over the years, he brought the old couple to the city and had no contact with them anymore.
As time goes by, Chef Song will probably be too old to walk. If he continues to cry and beg for help...if he grinds slowly, he should be able to show some affection.
Thinking of this, Chef Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
only…
He stared at the driver: "When I mentioned chartering the car before, it should be the round-trip price, right?"
This driver is not happy!
“That won’t work. I was almost there and you called me to go back again. I kept slamming on the accelerator all the way...”
"Are you trying to rip off customers? I can complain when I get back!" Chef Bai was not happy either. He failed today and felt more and more constrained.
I have to find a way to borrow money when I go back and fill up the holes in my house first. I can no longer take the 400 yuan seriously.
However, when it came to complaining, the driver became even more angry:
“You vote! You vote! This junk company doesn’t do anything but still charges us more than 100 in commission every month…”
He scolded so fiercely!
Chef Bai instantly became nervous again. Now that the steering wheel is in someone else's hands, he doesn't dare to provoke them at all.
After cursing for a while, the driver finally groaned:
“Forget it, let’s count it as 200 for this trip…”
