Chapter 61 Lu Zhishen (1)
Many colleagues disagree with Liufangju's success in business due to changes in business strategies. In their opinion, Liufangju is completely a declining one's identity. The good-looking store is now noisy, and it doesn't look like a regular store, just like an ordinary store or even a small store in the village.
If Sun Tu knew these comments, he would definitely laugh at these people for being unwilling to think about it. The ultimate goal of opening a store is of course to make money and profit. As for whether the hotel feels elegant or vulgar, it doesn't matter at all. These are just means to attract customers.
It was precisely because Manager Wu and his friends followed Sun Tu's concept that Liu Fangju suddenly became the most special existence in Tokyo's Seventy-Two Main Stores. Although there were fewer people who came here to eat wine, the business was really good. Moreover, their wine and food were not all sold to ordinary people. Although the officials would not come in person, they would also send their servants to order fried chicken and stir-fried dishes, and the business was still booming.
When the hotel business was completely on track, Sun Tu no longer had to watch here all day, and he could also spend more time on practicing martial arts. After all, in a few months, he would face a big test that would affect his future and destiny. He had to do his best. But even so, every two or three days, he would come to the hotel to take a few rounds to see if there was anything that needed to be improved.
October has passed, and the weather has slowly turned cold, which has made the business in the hotel more and more prosperous. Before noon was reached when Sun Tu came, there were already many drinkers there to cheer and drink, which was very lively. In front of the counter in the corner, Sun Tu talked to Wu Li for a while, and the latter said in some doubt: "Mr. Sun, the old man really doesn't understand what the word means."
After hearing what he said, Sun Tu turned his gaze to the copybook mounted on the wall in front of him, and his mouth curled slightly. He saw eight big characters on it - good luck, eat chicken today!
Two days ago, when Wu Li proposed to post some calligraphy and paintings in the first floor lobby, Sun Tu asked someone to write these words and put them on. As for the reason why he did this, it was just a bad taste, and it was also a memory of the era before he traveled through time.
Just when Sun Tu didn't know how to explain, a figure suddenly flashed in front of the hotel door, blocking most of the bright light outside the door. This made Sun Tu and Wu Li a little curious. They stopped and looked out - you should know that Liu Fangju's door was more than 1 meter high, enough for four or five people to go in and out side by side. Now one person actually blocked most of the door, which was really weird.
Then they saw a man seven or eight feet tall and burly tower-like man stepped in, and then they were surprised to find that the person who came was actually a monk with a glossy head. Not only was he wearing a gray cloth monk's robe, but he also had a string of huge rosary hanging around his thick neck.
Seeing this, the guy who wanted to come forward to greet the guests was just a pause, but Wu Lize quickly came over: "I don't know if the master came to our store to beg for alms or..."
The monk not only has a tall and majestic figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks fierce, but also has a rough voice. He heard this and said, "You are wrong, this shop. Sajia comes here just to have a drink. I heard that there are fine wine and dishes in your shop, and any fried chicken, so I can give Sajia some servings to try the taste." As he said that, he had already stepped to an empty table and sat down.
"What the master said is that my restaurant is indeed a bit of specialty, and this fried chicken is a unique feature in Tokyo, but..." As he said that, Wu Li showed a hint of embarrassment.
The monk had already smelled the scent of the chicken that had just been put into the oil pan. His nose suddenly moved twice, swallowed and said, "What, are you still afraid that the family will not give you money? Don't worry, the family will never eat you in vain." As he said that, he touched his arms, and threw a purse on the table, making a bang, obviously there was a lot of money in it.
Wu Li waved his hand quickly: "Master, I misunderstood. The villain did not mean this, but..." After hesitating, he said: "Master, you are a monk from Xiangguo Temple. I dare not sell wine and food to you. I have broken the rules." When he said this, his eyes had fallen on the mark on the hem of the monk's robes, and the logo of Xiangguo Temple was indeed embroidered there.
As the most famous temple in Tokyo, the rules are naturally very strict. In order not to make his monks do anything to break the precepts, they had already greeted the shops and restaurants around them, so that they could not sell wine and meat to their monks, otherwise they would pursue them together. Because of this concern, Wu Li did not dare to agree to the monk's request.
When he heard this, the monk's face darkened, and his two thick eyebrows, like brooms, quickly tucked together: "What a bullshit rule? The birds are almost fading out of the mouth of the house. You are not willing to sell wine and meat to me? When I was in Wutai Mountain, no one dared to treat me like this!" As he spoke, he slapped the table with a slam, almost slapped the wooden table apart.
Wu Li's body trembled, and he was really afraid that the monk would attack him. At this moment, one of them had already walked beside the two of them and smiled and said, "This master has invited you." It was Sun Tu who came when he heard the sound.
"Who are you? Do you also want to stop the family from drinking?" The monk stared at Sun Tu and said.
"I am the one who is in charge of this beautiful residence. Please let the master go and talk after he goes down?" As he said that, Sun Tu handed the other party a deep look.
The monk looked rude, but in fact he was thick and thin. After staring at Sun Tu thoughtfully, he stood up and said, "Go and go, will the Sa family be afraid of you?"
Sun Tu made a gesture of invitation and took him through the side door to the backyard of the restaurant, and led him to one of the quiet rooms. After inviting him to sit, Wu Li followed him in, and Sun Tu said, "Shopkeeper Wu, let's send two fried chickens and some wine and food."
"Hmm?" Both of them were stunned, but Wu Li quickly responded and went out. However, the monk stared at Sun Tu in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"I hope the master can understand the difficulties of our store. If you blatantly serve the master, it will cause some trouble. However, this is indeed aggrieved by the master, so today's meal of wine and food is regarded as the master who is invited." Sun Tu explained with a smile.
The monk didn't appreciate it, but just looked at him suspiciously: "Sajia just felt a little strange, why did you help me like this? In fact, eating wine and meat is not a good thing as a monk."
"Well, I'm just watching the master as a hero, and I feel that you shouldn't be bound by those rules and regulations, so I made this decision. Of course, I also meant to be friends with the master." Sun Tu said very calmly.
"Aren't you afraid that the Buddha blamed you and me?"
"As the saying goes, wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha sits in his heart. As long as the master has Buddha in his heart, why should he care about the precepts that ordinary people need to follow?" Sun Tu had already had a solution, and he went back without hesitation.
This made the monk stunned again, and then laughed: "It's interesting, you're so interesting. I think I, Lu Zhishen, have also walked through countless places and met many people, but you are the first one in terms of being interesting!"
It was him! Sun Tu couldn't see much trouble on his face, but he was already happy. His previous guess was indeed correct.
He had no idea about this matter. It was not until the other party reported that he had become a monk in Mount Wutai that Sun Tu speculated that this was the famous flower monk Lu Zhishen!
Whether it is this person's figure, temperament, or the tone that obviously has a Guanxi accent, it makes people easily associate him with Lu Zhishen, the most famous among the heroes of Liangshan. As for what he mentioned before, Sun Tu was 70% or 80% sure, so he specially invited him to speak alone.
Now, as Lu Zhishen directly reported his name, Sun Tu was finally able to confirm his identity, so he smiled and clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that he is Master Zhishen, he is indifferent to respect."
