"Master, in addition to the wine shop, Miss also left you a house in Huainan back then." Uncle Fu said in the carriage.
Now that we have entered Huainan County, on the streets, there are hawkers walking in the streets, there are salesmen shouting loudly, there are steaming bun shops, and there are also stalls hanging all kinds of gadgets, it is really lively.
"Huainan is indeed Huainan. Although it is not as good as our water town in the south of the Yangtze River, it still has a unique flavor." Xiu'er looked at the street outside the window with high spirits.
"Then let's go to the house to settle the belongings first, and then go to the wine shop to have a look." Gu Beichuan looked at the bustling traffic on the street, which was very lively, and his mood became happy.
In any case, time travel means time travel, and living well is the top priority.
Not long after, a group of three people arrived at a house in the south of the city.
This house has three entrances and three exits. It can be seen that it was once the residence of a wealthy family.
But now, after a long time, it seems to have some traces of time.
It's not that it can't be accommodated, it's just that if you want to live comfortably, you have to find someone to repair it.
Fortunately, Gu Jun felt sorry for his son and stuffed a lot of money into Gu Beichuan before leaving, so he didn't have to worry about that.
"Xiu'er, go find someone to repair the old house. Uncle Fu and I will go to the wine shop to have a look." After placing the luggage and belongings, Gu Beichuan assigned the first task.
...
Although Chengnan Street is not as good as the city center, it is still busy and lively.
There are many shops on the street, two of which are particularly eye-catching.
They are all wine shops, one with Zhang Ji’s sign and the other with Liu Ji’s sign.
Why are there so many shops, but these two are the only ones that stand out?
Because the two liquor stores were facing each other, Zhang Ji's business was booming and there was a huge crowd.
However, Liu Ji's business is bleak and his family is empty.
Such a completely different scene really gave people a big impact, and it was difficult not to stand out.
In Liuji Liquor Shop, Zhang Chao, the accountant, was flipping through his account books, and his heart grew colder the more he flipped through them.
Originally, Liu Ji's and Zhang Ji's businesses were similar, otherwise there would not have been a situation where the two companies were competing in the arena.
It's a pity that since the beginning of spring last year, the head of Zhang Ji's family has found the recipe of Chunxiao, a wine from nowhere.
After Chunxiao came along, Zhang Ji's business was getting better and better day by day, but Liu Ji's business was getting worse and worse every day.
The reason is simple, there are two wine shops on the same street, in the same location.
If your wine is good, why should I buy your wine?
Zhang Chao saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
If this continues, I'm afraid Liu Ji will have to close down in a few months.
When the time comes, how will you be able to live up to your employer?
Fortunately, who is Zhang Chao? There has been a plan for a long time, and if it succeeds, it will definitely turn things around and reverse the decline.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was thinking of happy things.
But then, he stopped laughing.
Because he saw that the door of the liquor shop opposite was open, and the boss, with several burly men and a boy who was beaten half to death, came towards their liquor shop in a menacing manner.
Zhang Chao's heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought it was not good.
boom.
The guy was thrown directly to the ground with a loud bang.
The owner of Zhang Ji Liquor Shop raised his voice and said angrily: "Where is your manager? Come out!"
Zhang Chao stepped forward bravely, his heart pounding, and said, "I am the accountant, what do you want?"
"Accounting clerk? He's considered a half-steward."
"Take a look, this guy is from your store?"
Zhang Chao did not answer casually, but asked thoughtfully: "I wonder what this guy did? Was he beaten like this?"
"Hmph, this little thief sneaked into my Zhangji wine shop last night with the intention of stealing the Chunxiao wine formula."
boom!
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene exploded instantly like a raging fire cooking oil.
Who doesn’t know that Zhang Ji can overpower Liu Ji in the south of the city because of the famous wine Chunxiao.
What would happen if the formula was stolen?
Isn’t this a loss of life and wealth? No wonder he was beaten like this.
For a moment, the pity in everyone's eyes when they looked at the guy gradually disappeared, and was replaced by disgust.
Hearing this, Zhang Chao made a plan in his mind and immediately said: "This guy looks unfamiliar, I guess he is not from our shop."
As soon as these words came out, others were fine, but some of the old workers at Liuji Liquor Shop changed their expressions.
They clearly remembered that this boy was from the shop. Why did Zhang Accountant deny it?
Could it be that he was the instigator of stealing the formula?
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly became worried.
"No?" Boss Zhang Ji looked surprised, and then said: "Wake him up and confront him."
boom!
A bowl of cold water was poured on the man's head, and he gradually woke up from his coma.
After seeing Zhang Chao, before Boss Zhang Ji could say anything, he stepped forward and hugged Zhang Chao's thigh tightly, saying miserably: "Zhang Accountant, it was you who asked me to steal the formula."
"Now that the matter has been exposed, you have to stand up for me."
"Zhang Ji is not a human being. They, they beat me so hard."
As soon as he said this, Zhang Chao shuddered, kicked the guy away quickly, and shouted sternly: "You guy, I have never met you, how can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?"
"Is the person innocent? I can't see, right? You, Mr. Liu, are jealous of our Mr. Zhang, and it's not just a day or two." Zhang Ji's boss said.
"What did Boss Zhang say? Your speech must be based on evidence."
"Evidence? Isn't the witness right in front of you?" Boss Zhang Ji pointed at the guy and sneered.
"If you still don't admit it, we will go to the government to confront you and see what Master Qingtian will do!"
As soon as this statement came out, Zhang Chao was sweating profusely and blushing as he argued with him.
For a time, the entire Liuji Liquor Shop was in chaos.
...
Gu Beichuan was walking on Chengnan Street. He looked at the shops on both sides and felt a sense of prosperity. He couldn't help but sigh: "This street in Chengnan is really bustling and lively."
"Uncle Fu, where is our shop?"
"Master, it's right in front."
Gu Beichuan was not slow. The reason why he arrived now was mainly to take care of Uncle Fu.
Even though Uncle Fu's body is still strong, he is old and his legs and feet are weak after all.
But when the two of them walked to Liu Ji's door, they were startled by the messy scene.
After understanding the cause and effect, Fu Bo suddenly became anxious.
Liu Ji is the shop left by the young lady to the young master, how could he possibly steal someone's secret recipe?
If the young lady knew anything about it, she would be worried about breaking her heart.
Gu Beichuan also frowned. This was in ancient times, and everyone valued reputation very much.
If the secret of stealing the formula is confirmed, I'm afraid Liu Ji's reputation will be ruined and it will be closed down soon.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked through the crowd, stood up and shouted: "Liu Jiwei never stole wine!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Beichuan.
