Chapter 308 Don’t even think about it

In order to determine the condition of the shop, Su Ying planned to go and see it in person.

After Su Ying assigned tasks to each of the three children, she asked the guards to prepare a humble little carriage and took Bai Shuang out of the house.

The first thing they went to was the restaurant closest to the palace, the one with the best location but still losing money.

When they arrived, it was just before noon. The restaurant was packed with people, and even the lobby on the first floor was almost full.

When Su Ying and Bai Shuang walked outside the restaurant, a waiter came to greet them.

"Do you two gentlemen want to eat?"

"Well, just choose a seat in the lobby."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Su Ying to be willing to sit in the lobby. Those who come to their restaurant to eat are all rich or noble, and they are somewhat particular. Women rarely sit in the lobby.

But Su Ying requested it, so the waiter invited her in anyway. There happened to be an empty seat near the corner of the lobby.

"Whatever you two want to eat, just tell me."

"Bring me all your signature dishes."

"Hey, okay, please wait a moment."

While Su Ying and the others were waiting, more and more people came to the restaurant, and there was almost no room for them to sit down, so they had to ask people to wait outside.

The restaurant's kitchen staff was also very efficient, and the food was served quickly.

"Look, madam, this is our restaurant's signature crispy chicken, this is the carp leaping over the dragon's gate, and this is the braised lion's head..."

The waiter announced a list of dish names in succession.

"How much does this table cost?"

After calculating, the waiter said: "Madam, these dishes of yours cost a total of five taels of silver."

Su Ying nodded noncommittally and motioned for him to retreat.

Bai Shuang looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but click her tongue, "This dish costs almost one tael of silver..."

These ingredients look like ordinary things, and the total sum is probably only three hundred copper coins.

With such vegetable prices, can this restaurant still make a loss every year?

Su Ying didn't say anything. The food was served, so why not eat it?

After eating and drinking, Su Ying dropped her chopsticks and asked the waiter to find the shopkeeper.

The waiter responded with a smile and called the shopkeeper who was doing the accounting to him.

Shopkeeper Li was a little confused when he saw Su Ying, "Madam, I wonder why you want to see me?"

Su Ying smiled and said: "It's nothing big, I just want to talk to you about the acquisition of this restaurant."

Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Ma'am, are you kidding me?"

"You look at me like I'm joking. I heard that your restaurant has been losing money for many years and can only barely support it. It's such a waste of such a good place, so I plan to pay a sum of money to take it down. What does the shopkeeper think?

"

Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but laugh when he heard Su Ying's words. He was sneering, "Madam, don't be ridiculous, you have also seen it. How can we lose money in such a big restaurant? If you want to acquire it, I'm afraid it will cost you everything."

, you can’t take down this restaurant either.”

"I don't believe it. I'll pay you one thousand taels of silver, and you can have someone sign the deed."

Shopkeeper Li concluded that Su Ying was here to cause trouble. His smile gradually fell, and he glared at Su Ying with disdain and said, "If Madam comes to make trouble, don't blame me for being rude."

"You guys are losing money every year. Now I'm giving you money to give me this restaurant. Why am I here to cause trouble?"

Su Ying couldn't help but raise her voice, and everyone around her laughed.

"Madam, don't be ridiculous. This is Deyang Building. How can Deyang Building lose money? The monthly income is almost a few hundred taels of silver. You want a thousand taels of silver to buy Deyang Building.

Isn’t this a joke?”

The diners next to him spoke for Shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li looked at Su Ying proudly, "Did you hear that? I didn't say this alone."

Su Ying nodded suddenly, a faint smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Oh...it turns out you have been making false accounts."

Shopkeeper Li's eyes changed slightly and he stared at Su Ying warily, "Who are you? What are you talking about?"

Su Ying stretched out her hand, and Bai Shuang threw an account book on the table, "You have been here for a long time, right? Then come and explain to me why Deyang Building loses money almost every year in this account book, okay?"

Shopkeeper Li's pupils shrank, "Who are you?"

"Master of this restaurant, who do you think I am?"

Shopkeeper Li turned around and wanted to run away after hearing this.

Su Ying picked up the chopsticks on the table and threw them out.

"ah!"

The chopsticks pierced Shopkeeper Li's thigh hard, and Shopkeeper Li fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The diners in the restaurant were startled when they saw this, and many ran out. Su Ying immediately asked the guards at the door to block the door.

Su Ying glanced at them coldly, "You haven't given me any money yet, and you want to run away?"

Shopkeeper Li looked back at Su Ying, who was walking towards her step by step, and backed away in fear, "You, you are Princess Qi!"

During this time, Su Ying's reputation for cruelty had already spread through the efforts of all parties, and shopkeeper Li couldn't help but feel terrified.

Su Ying came to him and looked at him condescendingly, "Who asked you to make the fake accounts?"

"It's a loss, it's a loss, it's not fake... It's not!" Shopkeeper Li suddenly looked behind Su Ying and said, "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you do it quickly!"

The thugs who came from behind to inquire rushed over. They didn't care about Su Ying's identity. They would listen to whoever gave them money.

Su Ying's eyebrows jumped, and she grabbed a bench nearby and hit the thugs hard with a bang.

More than a dozen thugs were knocked to the ground by Su Ying in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Shopkeeper Li was so frightened that he turned pale and tried his best to crawl out the door, but Su Ying stepped on his thigh.

"I'll give you an hour to ask the person who swallowed the money to send all the money over immediately."

Su Ying pressed her feet hard, and shopkeeper Li's screams resounded throughout the restaurant.

The diners were so frightened that they took out their money and left, fearing that they would become the fish in the pond.

"Princess, please forgive me. Princess, please forgive me. It's the Prime Minister's wife. It was the Prime Minister's wife who asked me to make false accounts." Shopkeeper Li's face turned pale with pain and his voice became hoarse.

Su Ying lowered her eyes and patted the scraps on her clothes, "I don't care who it is, if I see the banknote in an hour, if I come a quarter of an hour late, I will crush every bone in your body until all the bones in your body are gone."

Until it is crushed."

"Yes, yes..." Shopkeeper Li shouted to the hiding man, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and send a message to the Prime Minister's wife, hurry up!"

The waiter was so frightened that he rushed out of the restaurant and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for someone.

Shopkeeper Li was a distant cousin of Xiao Jiang Yuanshi. Shopkeeper Li's family also followed him to the Prime Minister's Mansion after getting the news.

"Madam, you must save your cousin, he has done a lot for you over the years!"

Xiao Jiang Yuanshi had a dark face and just wanted to crush Su Ying to death.

"If you don't save people, you won't be able to live well!"
