EBE Chapter 167 Black Shop
Chapter 167 Black Shop
"The Lin family of Qinghe County..."
In Chen Changfan's eyes, the Fu family behind Shopkeeper Fu is already a wealthy family.
I didn't expect that in front of this so-called Lin family, I didn't even have the right to speak.
It was like half of the family property was taken away, but he didn't dare to say a word.
It seems that the Lin family is indeed a giant in Qinghe County.
But that is Qinghe County. In Qingshan County, it is hard to say who will listen to whom.
He was not interested in getting involved in the power struggles of the big families, but he was still very interested in taking over a restaurant and running it.
Several people had already reached the door of Shiweizhai. Chen Changfan took a look and walked in directly.
"Go and take a look first before talking."
Hearing the boss's words, Lao Wei and others nodded and followed, but Shopkeeper Fu had a complicated expression.
For a moment he was a little confused as to what his boss meant.
Strictly speaking, this restaurant has been sold to the Lin family. Although there is suspicion of forced sale, it is written in black and white on the document that he is full of grievances, but has nowhere to appeal.
"Little Second!"
A group of people sat in the hall, and Lao Wei called the waiter.
The waiter came over enthusiastically. When he saw Shopkeeper Fu, he was stunned for a moment, then he whispered cautiously, "Hello, Shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper Fu gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm not a shopkeeper. This is my boss. You go and serve him."
The waiter looked at Shopkeeper Fu deeply, then looked at Chen Changfan who was sitting in the main seat, and his expression became a little strange.
Isn’t this the fishmonger?
Now you are the current boss of my former boss?
The waiter felt a little uncomfortable. He lamented the huge gap between people and asked with a professional smile.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
"What are the signature dishes of Shiweizhai now?"
The waiter said without hesitation, "The signature dish is, of course, the braised red tail."
Shopkeeper Fu frowned, "Where's the pickled fish? Where's the spicy crab?"
The waiter smiled bitterly, "Shopkeeper Lin said that the pickled fish was not something that could be served on the table, and that river crabs were something only poor people would eat, so he took them away."
Shopkeeper Fu frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but Chen Changfan waved his hand and said, "Then let's have a braised red tail."
"Okay! Please wait a moment!"
After a while, the dishes were served.
Chen Changfan picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, frowning slightly.
"Shopkeeper Fu, please try this braised red tail. How does it taste?"
Among the people present, besides him, only Shopkeeper Fu had eaten Chiwei.
If Manager Fu could also figure out the problem with the fish, then perhaps he could really take back the restaurant today.
Shopkeeper Fu picked up a piece of fish and tasted it. "The taste... the taste is the same as before, no change."
"Try it again carefully."
Shopkeeper Fu took another piece and savored it carefully. Then he said uncertainly, "It seems...it seems that the sweet and sour taste is stronger, and the fish has a more earthy smell than before."
After hearing what Manager Fu said, Chen Changfan felt more confident.
"Little Second!"
Another waiter came over and saw Shopkeeper Fu and the others. He immediately said in a daze, "What's going on?"
This waiter came here with the Lin family, so naturally he didn't have a good face towards Shopkeeper Fu.
Seeing the waiter's attitude, Chen Changfan didn't get angry. Instead, he continued, "Give me a hundred braised redtails."
"One hundred?" the waiter couldn't help but repeat it.
"Why? Isn't there any in the store?"
"Yes, yes, but this braised redtail costs ten taels of silver per plate, I'm afraid..."
The waiter didn't say anything, but the contempt in his eyes betrayed his inner thoughts.
I’m afraid you don’t have that much money!
Hearing the price, Chen Changfan couldn't help but sigh.
This is equivalent to the household tax that the people have worked hard to save for a year, but it is just a dish here.
In years of famine, there are frozen corpses on the roads, while the rich have wine and meat in their houses.
Snapped!
Chen Changfan directly bid out a thousand taels of silver note, "Open your dog eyes and see if I can afford it."
Seeing the banknote, the waiter's expression immediately changed from gloomy to cheerful. He bowed to Chen Changfan and said with a smile, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and arrange for the kitchen."
"Wait a moment!"
The waiter turned around and looked at Chen Changfan.
"I'm afraid you don't have that many fish in your store. Please take the money first. If you're short of one fish later, I'll smash your store!"
The waiter thought to himself how could there be a fool who would voluntarily give money to someone, and happily accepted the banknote.
"Don't worry, sir. My Lin family is rich and powerful. Let alone a hundred redtails, we can get you even a thousand!"
The waiter had a hint of pride on his face and went straight to the kitchen.
"Boss, what are you doing? Spending a thousand taels on fish? We can catch them ourselves!"
Old Wei couldn't help but feel sad when he saw one thousand taels of silver being spent like that.
"You know shit!" Chen Changfan glared at Old Wei unhappily. "You'll know soon."
After saying that, Chen Changfan stretched out his hand and overturned the table.
"How dare you pass off inferior goods as genuine ones? The braised redtail here isn't redtail at all! Call your boss over here and give me an explanation today, or I'll smash this shady shop of yours!"
Chen Changfan suddenly shouted loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of many diners around.
Even the shopkeeper, Old Wei Fu, and others were bewildered, wondering what the boss was up to and they had no idea how to cooperate.
"Who's being so rude in this store? Are you pretending that I, Lin Yong, don't exist?"
A man with a gloomy expression stepped forward quickly, followed by several strong men who looked like thugs. They surrounded Chen Changfan and others in the center and looked at everyone fiercely.
"Oh, who was it? It turned out to be the former shopkeeper, Ah Fu..."
When Lin Yong saw Shopkeeper Fu, he immediately showed a sarcastic expression. "Did I not explain it to you clearly that day, or do you have a bad memory? Your Fu family has already sold this Shiweizhai to my Lin family. What do you want to do? You brought in a few of these fools just to destroy my shop?"
"It's a shady shop, so we can just destroy it. If the Lin family's business is always like this, selling inferior goods as good ones, and selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, then the Lin family's business is over."
To Lin Yong's surprise, Shopkeeper Fu didn't say anything, but the handsome young man spoke instead.
Only then did he notice that the young man was in the main seat, and it seemed that everyone else was following his lead.
"How dare you curse my Lin family? I think you're fucking tired of living!"
Those strong men seemed to be the guards of the Lin family. They cursed angrily and were about to attack.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Several crisp sounds were heard, and it was Lao Wei and Zhang Yi who attacked together and blew those strong men away.
Lin Yong shuddered with fear and quickly took a few steps back, fearing he'd get slapped if he retreated too late.
