Chapter 172 Becoming Bigger and Stronger
Zhang Deshan's appearance and departure did not have much impact on Qin Lu's life. Now that the county government is gone without Governor Sun, Qin Tieniu's life is going smoothly, and everything is going on as planned.
Qin Lu also put the expansion of the charcoal fire shop on the agenda. New raw materials were arriving in the town one after another. The huge fleet of trucks naturally attracted the attention of many merchants in the town, especially those who were in the charcoal fire business.
, when she learned that Qin Lu wanted to expand her charcoal fire shop, she was even more sarcastic.
"Why don't she run her own hot pot restaurant properly? She insists on getting involved with us. How long have we been doing the charcoal fire business in the town? She was originally just a small selling point, so it wouldn't have any impact, but she is like this now
You are bluffing, are you really not afraid of losing money?"
"That's right, that's right, how much charcoal fire is needed in this town? As for preparing so many goods?"
…
More and more voices ridiculing Qin Lu naturally reached Qin Lu's ears, but she completely ignored them. She even continued to do her own thing as if she hadn't heard the remarks.
Although these things did not cause her to be abnormal, Yunyun and others were anxious and angry. Taking advantage of the afternoon break, Yunyun came to Qin Yu, poked his arm, and then heard a childish voice, "Yu
Yu, why do you think my sister insists on opening up this charcoal fire shop?"
"Isn't it good?" Qin Yu still has a calm face. No matter how you capture it, you can't see any expression on his face.
Yunyun was still young and didn't know whether these things were good or bad for Qin Lu, but when she heard others discussing this matter and saying that she was overestimating her abilities, Yunyun could still understand this.
As he was talking, a group of people suddenly entered the hot pot restaurant. Yunyun stood up to greet them as usual, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"
"Why are you looking for your shopkeeper Qin? He's not here, is he hiding..."
The person who came looked like he was quite old. He raised his head and looked even more arrogant. Yunyun originally greeted him with a smile. In the blink of an eye, the smile disappeared from her face. She pinched her waist with her little hands and said, "You are
Are you here to cause trouble?"
"Little girl, don't worry about things that shouldn't be yours. I'm here to see Qin Lu." The unkind man didn't take Yunyun seriously at all.
Yunyun pouted and was very dissatisfied, but the other party didn't give her any time to think anymore and pushed her away directly. It was Qin Yu who held Yunyun up, otherwise the little girl would have fallen down long ago.
"Why are you so angry that you came to the door?" Qin Lu happened to see this scene when she came back from outside. She quickly stepped forward and pushed the man aside and looked back at Yunyun, "How is it?"
Yunyun shook her head and pointed at the man, "Bad guy, get out..."
"Yu Yu, take Yunyun inside." Qin Lu asked Qin Yu to take Yunyun away, and then looked at the man who was making trouble.
She did not speak directly, but looked the man up and down. Based on the man's clothes, it was not difficult to guess that he was a charcoal fire merchant. It seemed that the person who had slandered her before was probably this person.
"Why, you came to the door after saying it behind your back?" Qin Lu looked at the other party with cold eyes, not taking him seriously at all.
Look again at the charcoal fire merchant who was poked into her thoughts by Qin Lu and pointed at her angrily, "Qin Lu, don't be proud of yourself. You have bought so many charcoal fires now. I think you just want to smash them into your own hands."
"In that case, you should be happy. You are also in the charcoal business. I am unlucky and you are lucky, aren't you?" Qin Lu was surprised. How did she get into trouble with this businessman? The ridicule behind his back was not enough, but he even asked
When I came to my door, I really thought she was so easy to bully.
"Qin Lu, I'm here to warn you, so you can take care of yourself..."
The merchant looked at Qin Lu with her hands behind her hands and raised her head, vowing, "I am here to persuade you for your own good."
"Thank you very much. If that's the case, do you dare to bet with me?"
"bet?"
The other party didn't seem to expect Qin Lu to be so confident. He was just passing by a hot pot restaurant today, and when he saw Qin Lu wasn't at home, he came over to taunt her with itchy hands. He didn't expect that he actually met her.
"Why, you don't dare?" Qin Lu raised the corners of her mouth, forming a beautiful arc.
The man had never been looked down upon by a woman before, and he immediately became even more angry, "Okay, let's bet. I, Kuka, can you really start this charcoal business? If you can't, then give me this shop. If you can't, then give me this shop."
If I lose, I will give you a shop."
"make a deal."
Qin Lu didn't even think about shaking hands with the other party in front of the crowd, "Everyone, you will be a witness today..."
Now it's up to the other party not to admit it.
After Qin Lu finished speaking, the other party felt guilty and took out his hand. He was visibly panicked but was soon replaced by De Se, "Qin Lu, let's wait and see."
After finishing the ceremony, he turned around and left in a cool manner.
Qin Lu looked at his back and shook her head helplessly. The winter was about to come. Not only did this person run his own shop well, but he also had the leisure to come to her place to recruit scum. What else was he to do if he wasn't idle?
Although there were many people watching the bet that day, they were all people from the vicinity of the shop. Qin Lu did not expect that this matter would be publicized and everyone in the town would know about it.
As soon as business hours arrived in the morning, diners started asking about the bet as soon as they came to the door, "Shopkeeper Qin, what's going on between you and Shopkeeper Wan?"
"Brother Liu, you haven't been out of town recently, why are you back so soon?" Qin Lu answered the question and looked at the other person leisurely.
Brother Liu was a little embarrassed when Qin Lu looked at him like this. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'll be back after I finish my work. What's good to eat today..."
It was his turn to say no more. Without giving Qin Lu time to continue asking, he started asking about new dishes.
Qin Lu was very satisfied with his move. She asked Yunyun to bring out the new dishes and then went to greet other diners. Brother Liu breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but cursed: Fortunately, he didn't say much, otherwise I don't know if shopkeeper Qin would tell me.
Things are coming.
Maybe others didn't know why he left the town, but Qin Lu knew clearly that she met Brother Liu on the way to deliver goods some time ago.
The reason he left the town was to discuss business with his wife, but in fact he wanted to take care of his mother. It wasn't that the Liu family's daughter-in-law was not good, it was just that the Liu family's mother-in-law treated her very badly at the time, and now she is young.
Now that things are over, I think of my son again.
This daughter-in-law of the Liu family naturally remembers her past hatred. Even if Mrs. Liu is in bad shape, she will not visit her. But as a son of a human being, how can Brother Liu stay out of it?
That's why Qin Lu deliberately teased Brother Liu just now. Naturally, she would not tell Sister Liu about this matter, but only if he would not continue to ask her about the bet with the charcoal merchant like others.
That incident was originally a spur of the moment, but now it has caused a big fuss. It was not what she had in mind, so she naturally wanted to deal with it in a low-key manner.
