Chapter 515: External Troubles and Internal Troubles
Bi Yuntao looked around and saw a splendid shop sitting nearby. It was tall and majestic, with a black golden nanmu plaque hanging on the top. On the plaque, dragons and phoenixes carried the four characters of Xue's Cloth Shop. The handwriting was free and elegant, as if it was shocking. The dragon, judging from its handwriting, should have been written by the same person, as it is exactly the same as the plaque on the Xue Family Courtyard.
Not only that, the front of the shop is wide and there is no congestion in front of other shops, and there is no shop around, making it stand out a bit.
The location of the shop is excellent, it is in the most prosperous and central area during the riots. Even the shops of the Tao Yulu family nearby are far less luxurious than their shops combined.
The entire shop is made of fine ebony, with complex and exquisite patterns carved on the doors and windows. The tall foyer and grand door are decorated with gold. The door is carved with exquisite patterns, including a phoenix spreading its wings, which is vivid. Lifelike.
There are two huge white marble stone lions standing on both sides of the door. The stone lions look majestic, as if they are guarding this treasure house full of treasures. Looking from a distance, it is vivid and dignified.
The jade carved dragon built around the ridge of the roof has its scales and claws dancing, and its two whiskers are flying, as if it is about to soar into the sky.
Walking in along the nine stone steps, the first thing that catches the eye is a rosewood carved counter, which is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the bright light in the store.
The shops are full of luxurious fabrics, and you can tell the texture of these fabrics just by looking at their luster.
In one corner of the shop, there is a row of mahogany chairs for guests to rest and discuss business. There is tea served on the small table next to the chair. All of them show the nobility and thoughtfulness of Xue's Cloth Shop.
The guys all wore exquisite silk robes, with the golden logo of Xue's Cloth Shop embroidered on the chest.
But such a luxurious cloth shop is now deserted, and no one comes here. It is obvious that it is still in the joyful scene of the New Year.
Looking at the Buzhuang in front of him, which was many times bigger than his own restaurant, Bi Yuntao felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness and indignation in his heart. That hateful woman, Mrs. Xue, is such a bully! The Xue family is so rich. The lion asked him for a hundred thousand taels of silver and gave him a shabby and dilapidated shop. If he had known better, he should not have been so soft-hearted and took advantage of the perfume profit sharing. A dead 70-30 split, no concessions should be made.
Thinking of Mrs. Xue, the woman who fell in Qian's eyes, Bi Yuntao hated her so much that his gums ached.
The clerk in the shop didn't know if there was no business coming to the door, so he dozed lazily. Even when Bi Yuntao and Mr. He walked to the door, they didn't notice it.
This made Bi Yuntao frown a little dissatisfied, but he still walked in patiently.
But after waiting for a while, and even making noises on purpose, no one came to greet them. They just opened their eyes with some dissatisfaction and glanced at Bi Yuntao and Third Master He, and then dozed off by themselves again.
Seeing this, Third Master He was about to scold him, but Bi Yuntao stopped him. He shook his head slightly at Third Master He, and then led Third Master He out.
Although he did not have any conversation with the clerk during the entire period, Bi Yuntao has discovered the problem. The Xue family can no longer turn around through reforms alone. The most important purpose now is to rectify the atmosphere. Even though the Xue family has Gold and silver, all the clerks around me have this attitude, I'm afraid they are just struggling to death, and their time is running out.
"Brother Bi, don't mind. After all, the whole country is mourning now, and the guys are busy closing the door, so it's inevitable that there will be no one to entertain them." The two of them continued to walk towards the restaurant. Seeing that Bi Yuntao was not in high spirits, Mr. He hurriedly left. He said comfortingly.
When Bi Yuntao heard this, he looked at Mr. He as if he were a fool. He is not blind. He can see everything the waiter is doing or not. Isn’t Mr. He telling lies with his eyes open now?
Third Master He also knew that his explanation was too far-fetched. When he saw Bi Yuntao's eyes, he smiled sheepishly.
Bi Yuntao glanced at Mr. He and ignored him, making plans thoughtfully.
"Mr. Bi, Mr. He, why are you here?" As soon as they arrived in front of the restaurant, they saw two girls, Xiaoyan and Xiaolian, holding hands and walking out of the inn opposite the restaurant.
Seeing the two girls Xiaoyan and Xiaolian, Bi Yuntao also came back from his thoughts, with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Isn't it boring to stay here? Come and see you two, see what I teach you." How are you practicing with your stuff? Don’t let it slip when you open it.”
Hearing this, Xiao Lian pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Young Master, you talk nicely, but I think you are clearly bored. Because King Qi was framed, the whole country mourned for three days, and Miaoxiang Pavilion is now closed to thank guests. Miss. It’s even more closed-door, so under the guise of coming here for review, come here and listen to the two of us singing a little song for you!”
"Ahem!" Bi Yuntao's old face couldn't help turning red when Xiaolian revealed his secrets, and he glared at Xiaolian fiercely, "You are the only one who talks too much!"
"Hehehe!" Xiaoyan covered her mouth and snickered.
A few people chatted and laughed for a while, and then came to the fourth floor of the restaurant. Xiaolian and Xiaoyan played the harp and harp in harmony, playing a little tune for Bi Yuntao and Mr. He.
Musashi and Xiao Cilang served hot meals and drinks to Bi Yuntao and He Sanye one after another. The restaurant still has some unfinished decoration, so the recruitment of waiters has been put on hold for the time being. Now that the whole country has mourned Bi Yuntao for three days, there are only a few of them in the huge restaurant, which looks empty. of.
As for Yuan Fang, she had been arranged by Bi Yuntao to help Jing Fuwang and was busy with perfume. Fortunately, he has a lot of strength. Although he is a bit stupid, he is honest and honest. He feels relieved to work under Jing Fuwang's hands.
Of course, Bi Yuntao did not forget to check Xiaoyan and Xiaolian's practice before having a drink with Mr. He. Bi Yuntao was very satisfied with their results. These two girls are quite smart. After teaching them several times and practicing several times, they are already good at it.
While eating wine and listening to Xiaoyan and Xiaolian's ditty, Bi Yuntao was a little absent-minded, and his mind was filled with what had just happened at Xue Family Clothing Village.
Third Master He also noticed that Bi Yuntao was absent-minded. There happened to be nothing to talk about, so he asked aloud: "Brother Bi, are you still thinking about what happened just now?"
"Well!" Bi Yuntao responded, "The Xue family is really in trouble now, both internally and externally! Looking at the attitude of those guys, there is no intention of doing business. I really don't know how Xue Ruyue manages it. It seems that it has to be rectified. It’s been a while.”
"Then what are the thoughts in Brother Bi's mind?"
"There are indeed some ideas, but the details haven't been figured out yet." Bi Yuntao said with a slight regret.
"Haha, then think about it slowly, don't be in a hurry, it happens that the whole country is mourning for three days, take advantage of these few days to think about it." Third Master He smiled, then sighed and said: "The whole country is mourning for three days, my family's freight It also stopped, and some orders had to be compensated, and a lot of money was lost in vain.”
