Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

Wenze Street, Sifang Bookstore.

Peng Hu was warmly welcomed into the bookstore by the staff, and in a tea room, he saw the shopkeeper Zhang who was making tea.

He immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: “Manager Zhang, long time no see, long time no see.”

The shopkeeper Zhang turned his head when he heard the words, saw the person coming, and said with a smile: “Master Peng! Oh, it’s really a shame to welcome your distinguished guest here!”

He greeted Peng Hu opposite him and sat down, and then asked, “If you want to come over, why don’t you send someone to tell me in advance, and I might as well greet you at the door!”

A misunderstanding in the study before, made Peng Hu and the shopkeeper of the study forged an indissoluble bond.

Although it is only a relationship of interests, the two get along on the surface, and they look like old friends who have known each other for many years.

Peng Hu waved his hand: “Hey, why do I need to trouble the shopkeeper Zhang to wait for me? I just came back from the capital, and it will be free, so I came here if I wanted to.”

The two greeted each other, and Peng Hu looked at the environment of the bookstore and said with emotion: “I didn’t expect that your bookstore has been run like this in just a few months!

“I heard from people outside that the Sifang Bookstore not only reads books for free, but even sponsors poor students. Shopkeeper Zhang is very insightful!”

Shopkeeper Zhang stroked his beard: “Where, where. It’s just a little trick. Didn’t it show its true shape in front of Master Peng?”

Peng Hu shook his head: “I can really see the subtlety of this layout, but… If I do it myself, I’m not happy. The risks are too high, and I can’t tell when I can see it. to ‘return’.

“Only an extraordinary person like the shopkeeper would dare to do such an extraordinary thing!”

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and acquiesced in this compliment.

The two of them tacitly did not mention the real owner behind the bookstore, as if there was no such thing at all.

After laughing, Peng Hu said again: “The three sets of ‘Xia Jian’ left for me by the shopkeeper who bothered me before, I don’t know…”

“It’s all here!” Shopkeeper Zhang responded, “Don’t worry, as soon as ‘Xia Jian’ arrived, I cut off three sets for you, and no one can take it away!”

Peng Hu heard the words and nodded again and again: “That’s good, that’s good!”

The three sets of “Chunjian” before helped Peng Hu to open the door smoothly in the capital.

As far as Peng Hu knew, there were only two sets that he sent over in the capital, and now “Chunjian” has become a good thing that aristocratic literati in the city are vying for.

If I wasn’t embarrassed to talk more, and I didn’t want to collide with other noble families in Liaozhou who wanted to buy, Peng Hu was even willing to wrap up twenty sets of each quarter!

Not to mention anything else, as long as it is shipped to the capital, things can be sold twice as much!

Thinking of this, he shook his head regretfully.

“Speaking of which, there are only twenty sets of such good paper sheets per season. It’s really…it’s a pity.” Peng Hu sighed, “You know, a layman like me always wants to buy more. It’s also good to put on a few sets and collect them at home.”

His words were euphemistic, but he was actually expressing his demands to Shopkeeper Zhang.

What he didn’t expect was that this time, the shopkeeper Zhang touched his beard and gave him a reply: “I want to talk about new paper… Recently, there are a few brand new sets.”

Peng Hu’s eyes lit up: “Oh? Or ‘Xia Jian’?”

Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head: “It’s not the four seasons theme of ‘Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter’, but a different style. However, in terms of quality, the new paper is even above the four papers of ‘Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter’.”

Hearing this, Peng Hu’s eyes widened in surprise: “The quality is still above the ‘spring, summer, autumn and winter’?”,

After receiving the confirmation from the shopkeeper Zhang, he hurriedly said: “Then what are you waiting for, you can bring me a few sets!”

He said proudly: “How much? I’ll pay now!”

Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand and explained helplessly: “Hey… Originally, this kind of trivial matter, I will keep it for you without you telling me, but the new high-quality paper is not for sale in Sifang Bookstore.

“I really have the heart, but I’m also powerless!”

“Not for sale in the bookstore?” Peng Hu opened his mouth, “Manager Zhang, don’t make fun of me, as far as I know, this kind of paper, and those high-end books that are exactly the same, can only be seen by Sifang Bookstore. .”

Shopkeeper Zhang took a sip of tea: “I didn’t mean that.”

“You are well-informed, and you must also know the news that the restaurant in the city is currently renting out shops, right?” Shopkeeper Zhang approached Peng Hu.

Peng Hu was stunned: “I’ve heard of this…”

He immediately guessed: “Could it be that Sifang Bookstore is going to open a new store under the restaurant?”

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded affirmatively: “Not bad.”

Hearing this, Peng Hu, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly frowned, looking tangled.

Shopkeeper Zhang was a little surprised, and asked quickly, “Master Peng thinks what’s wrong with this?”

Peng Hu laughed angrily and asked without answering: “The restaurant has not yet opened, and the rental fee is extremely expensive. The shopkeeper rents a separate yard on the other side of Yongle Street, and he can’t even pay that price.

“Why would you want to open a new store there?”

Shopkeeper Zhang was also a little surprised.

He knew that Penghu was a well-known businessman in Liaozhou, so he asked seriously, “Master Peng thinks…the rental location…isn’t worth it?”

“It’s hard to say!” Peng Hu shook his head and tangled.

He also didn’t hide his secrets, and explained to the shopkeeper Zhang with a jade shop he opened on Yongle Street: “Let me tell you this, my Linlang shop is quite famous on Yongle Street, and I can earn some money every month. A silver flower.

“But if I want to settle in that restaurant, the rent alone will cost an extra tens of taels of silver per month! The minimum lease contract for the restaurant is signed once a year, and it will cost an extra three hundred taels per year. .

“How can this be held up?”

He tried his best to blur the important data, but in his words, Manager Zhang could still hear his unacceptability.

The shopkeeper Zhang thought for a while: “The new restaurant is five stories high, and it is definitely the only one in Cannes. After the opening, all wealthy families in Liaozhou will come one after another.

“With so many people, it is acceptable to charge more rent. If you open a new store in it, you may not be able to make money back!”

Peng Hu first nodded and affirmed his previous statement: “You are right, there must be a lot of people in the early stage, and they will come over to join in the fun.

“Let’s not talk about others, just myself and my friends, I’m ready to see something new. But…

Then, he turned around and talked about his worries: “I’m afraid it won’t have enough stamina!”

“Lack of stamina? What’s this saying?” Shopkeeper Zhang’s eyes widened.

“Restaurants and restaurants, of course, should focus on wine and food, and floors and the like are temporary gimmicks.” Peng Hu tapped the table, “But in Cannes, there are too many famous restaurants.”

As he said that, he smiled sarcastically: “The best chefs in Liaozhou have all been wrapped up by several old hotels.

“Unless it can bring out the dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, otherwise, that’s it.”

“Hahaha…” Shopkeeper Zhang agreed with a smile: “In this world, if someone can bring out the dragon’s liver and phoenix gall, I’m afraid there is no need to open a restaurant.”

Peng Hu nodded: “Besides, open a shop under the restaurant… Or are there several shops crowded together?

“I have been in business for many years, and I have never seen anything like this!”

He frowned and imagined: “Think about it, for example, I want to go to your new bookstore to pick up a new box of notes this day. It wasn’t a hassle at first, but because the new store is there, I may need to cross a jade stone shop. Shop, a silk shop, turn several corners to find the bookstore!

“Just thinking about this, I don’t want to suffer that crime!”

The shopkeeper Zhang heard the words and nodded thoughtfully.

At this point, Peng Hu’s persuasion was over. He looked at the shopkeeper Zhang and asked, “Does the shopkeeper regret listening to me?”

Shopkeeper Zhang re-brewed a cup of tea for Peng Hu: “Master Peng has been in business for many years, and his qualifications are far from ordinary people. This conversation has benefited me a lot.

“But… on this, my thoughts are at odds with Master Peng.”

“Oh?” Peng Hu took a sip of tea, “I would like to hear more about it!”

The shopkeeper Zhang smiled mysteriously: “I think the unprecedented model of the new restaurant may have miraculous effects.”

Peng Hu turned the jade wrench on his hand.

“What’s wrong with going around a lot?” Zhang shopkeeper asked back: “Although you are only here to buy new paper, but in case you pass by the jade shop and find the newly arrived jade pendant is exquisite and elegant. Passing by the silk shop, I think of Fuzhong It’s time for the young man to change into new clothes. Passing by the pastry shop, he smelled the sweet aroma, and felt that it was not impossible to have two more pieces to satisfy his cravings.

“One trip down, you may spend more money than expected. Isn’t this a good thing for those of us who open the door to do business?”

The more Peng Hu listened, the tighter his brows became.

He could feel that what Shopkeeper Zhang said made sense, but after the product came out, he felt more and more frightened.

Shopkeeper Zhang filled the teapot with water again.

He shook the tea cup and said again: “To tell you the truth, I used to have the same questions as you. But the master of my family once told us servants that if you just wait for the guests to discover their needs It is too passive to come to the door to buy again.

“If you want to sell something, you must help customers find and even create demand.”

As soon as he said this, Peng Hu was stunned.

That is to say, Peng Hu himself has traveled all over the world for many years, and his vision is very wide. If it was anyone else, he might not understand what the storekeeper Zhang meant.

This theory is not uncommon in modern applications, ranging from supermarkets placing toothpaste next to toothbrushes to major websites starting to vigorously develop anchors with goods.

Its ultimate purpose is actually to take more money out of the customer’s pocket.

Peng Hu digested it for a while, then nodded and said, “This… this is really a strange idea!”

He wiped the sweat from his forehead: “Ashamed, really ashamed.”

Shopkeeper Zhang said, “Master Peng knows everything right away, why is he ‘ashamed’?”

Peng Hu twitched the corners of his mouth: “I originally thought to wait and see, wait for the restaurant to open for half a year to see if I can gain a firm foothold in the city, and then consider starting.

“I got instructions from the shopkeeper today… um… It seems that this matter has to be reconsidered.”

As Cao Mi’s subordinate, Shopkeeper Zhang naturally knew that the rental situation of the restaurant was not optimistic.

He intentionally helped the above to facilitate this business, and then said: “Master Peng is still worried about the problem of ‘lack of stamina’?”

Peng Hu looked at him and nodded slightly.

The shopkeeper Zhang smiled, and then said confidently: “I tell the truth to the shopkeeper, there is no such thing as a decision, but the dishes of the new restaurant are definitely the whole Sheng Dynasty…

“Single family.”

“The only family?!” Peng Hu was so surprised that he could barely hold the teacup in his hand.

You must know that there is nothing new under the sun, and being “unique” is a thousand times more difficult than being “delicious”!
