When they heard that Gu Qingdai was going to stir up trouble, these old Gu family members were frightened on the spot.
In the impression of these people, apart from being good-looking, Gu Qingdai has no brains at all, and Gu Qingsong is a boss who has no real ability and only acts as a quarrel.
They originally thought that the newly opened Lion Dance Teahouse was founded by Gu's father, and that the children were just sitting back and enjoying the success and barely holding on to the business.
According to the habits developed between them and Father Gu over the years, no matter what they do, Gu Qingdai and his brother should not send them away with just a meal.
However, the Gu Qingdai in front of her really dared to do this without caring about the feelings of her fellow clan members.
After the whole hall came running back with a few shovels, Gu Qingdai had already kicked these old relatives out of the tea house.
"My eldest brother has a spirit in heaven. Please open your eyes and see your unscrupulous descendants..."
The woman still didn't want to leave empty-handed, so she hid behind a few men and cried to her father.
"Shopkeeper, it won't be good for our teahouse if others hear about it, right?"
Mantang followed Gu Qingdai, and his tall and round figure had already intimidated the other party.
When Gu Qingsong saw that they were occupying the upper peak, he followed closely and stood next to Gu Qingdai, and even boldly asked for a shovel from Mantang.
Gu Qingdai pulled out a few silver coins from her sleeves and threw them into the old woman's arms, "Take the money and find a place to stay for the night. Let's go back to where we are tomorrow."
The old lady considered that this little money was not enough for them to share. She was still dissatisfied and wanted to play rogue again. Maybe Gu Qingdai would be able to relax again.
Gu Qingdai understood that there was no reason to argue with them, "Man Tang, take a shovel and hit me to death, and I will tell you who you are."
As soon as these words were spoken, several old relatives were already pissed and ran away.
The whole hall chased him symbolically for a while, and then uttered a few warning words before swaggering back.
Quietness returned to the teahouse, and everyone worked together to clean up the mess.
"They are really cheap. I shouldn't even give you those few silver coins. You eat and drink and you break so many things. If you don't ask them to compensate, just burn some incense!"
Gu Qingsong often does the most work and suffers the most fatigue, but he always says unpleasant things.
As a result, everyone often ignores his efforts and instead remembers his shortcomings.
"Second shopkeeper, are you brave again now? Didn't I see you rushing forward just now?" Qin Liu'er and Mantang looked at each other and smiled.
Gu Qingsong blushed and got into the kitchen with a pile of dishes.
The whole room came to Gu Qingdai and asked, "Shopkeeper, where did that kid hit you? Were you injured?"
"It's not a big deal if the thin dog bumped into me." Gu Qingdai gestured and circled her shoulders twice.
Qin Liuer also stepped forward, "I was almost scared to death. I thought the whole hall was really going to pick up a shovel and hit someone."
Gu Qingdai chuckled, "Then I really have to go to jail."
This is just a small episode in the new year. No matter what kind of people are open to business, Gu Qingdai can only pick and choose.
By the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the customer flow in the teahouse had returned to 50% to 60% of the previous day.
The first waiter to return to the teahouse was Ma Yu, the same one who had followed Ni Dachun for Gu Qingdai.
He introduced two of his relatives to the teahouse. One of them was only fourteen years old. Gu Qingdai thought he was too young, so he didn't keep him.
Only the older one was left, named Shao Shan.
How could Gu Qingdai have imagined that this Shao Shan, like Mantang, was another "eye liner" that Lian Beichuan had painstakingly installed.
Anyway, Gu Qingdai wanted to expand her manpower, so instead of hiring people who didn't know the details, it would be better to recruit their people.
On the one hand, he can secretly protect Gu Qingdai's safety, and on the other hand, he can also monitor the goings-on in the teahouse.
Gu Qingdai felt that the time was almost up, so she took the guys to the warehouse and moved out the mahjong and matching tables and chairs that she had prepared years ago.
"Shopkeeper, how are we going to collect money in this card house?" Ma Yu asked Ma Yu to take off the big rag hanging on his shoulders and dust off the dust on the mahjong table.
Gu Qingdai stood at the door, looking at her arrangements, "No charge, free to use."
"What?" Gu Qingsong opened his mouth. He felt that Gu Qingdai couldn't do a loss-making business.
Shao Shan added with a smile: "The shopkeeper wants to set the price of tea in this house higher, right?"
"Mr. Xu's house sells tea art, and these houses sell high-quality tea." Gu Qingdai glanced at Shao Shan, not expecting that he could guess her idea.
"The most expensive teas are only available in these rooms?" Ma Yu also came to his senses and asked Gu Qingdai for confirmation.
Gu Qingdai nodded her chin briskly, "Remember, a pot of tea is twice as much as a normal private room and four times as much as a casual table on the first floor."
Gu Qingsong almost said in front of everyone: Gu Qingdai, you are so dark!
He quickly changed his words, "Who will come to our place to play cards?"
Ma Yu looked towards the front door of the first floor, "Oh, there are indeed some distinguished guests here." As he said this, he already took off his feet and ran downstairs.
Everyone then dispersed and performed their duties. Gu Qingdai stood at the stairs and looked down for a while, suddenly not wanting Ma Yu to bring people up.
Because the visitors were Fan Zheng, Nawen and Fu Yanli.
But she had experienced Ma Yu's sharp tongue before, and before long the three of them were walking towards the card house.
Gu Qingdai had no choice but to greet him with a smile, say a few New Year greetings to wish him good luck, and personally lead the three of them into the room.
"Okay, Shopkeeper Gu, keep it secret. I like the atmosphere of this cabin." Fan Zheng shook his head and looked around, then sat down and felt the comfort of the soft chair.
Fu Yanli echoed, but Na heard but didn't say much.
Gu Qingdai could see that Na Wen also rejected Fu Yanli, and only Fan Zheng was willing to pay attention to him.
"The three of us can't win the game, why don't we ask shopkeeper Gu to sit down and play a few rounds?" Fu Yanli tested Gu Qingdai.
"It's not that I refuse, it's that I really don't know how. I'll find a beauty for you."
Gu Qingdai's original intention was to let Qin Liu'er come up and support him for a while. She had mentioned before that she liked playing mahjong.
Fan Zheng was unwilling to let Gu Qingdai leave, "You can't learn. We can teach you slowly. It's not about winning a house or land. Isn't Shopkeeper Gu afraid?"
"Fan Zheng!" Nawen reminded Fan Zheng from behind, worried that he would fall into another bad habit.
"Of course I'm scared. My Gu family's old house is still in your hands. I have to save money to buy it back one day."
Fan Zheng sat down and laughed, "I really don't understand what the relationship between you and that brat Lian Beichuan is."
Nawen pressed the bridge of his nose, knowing that this ancestor could no longer control his mouth.
"Mr. Fan, you have to tell me carefully. What good stories do Shopkeeper Gu and Second Master Lian have?"
Fu Yanli's ears stood up. He thought that Gu Qingdai was aloof to everyone, but it turned out that he just didn't think he was powerful in Beichuan.
"You said that even Beichuan treated you badly, but he helped you out every time. Even if he treated you well, you didn't see him giving you any real benefits."
"I see you didn't come to the teahouse to entertain me. You came here specifically to entertain me, right?"
"Shopkeeper Gu, don't take it personally. Give us two pots of the best tea." Fan Zheng couldn't be persuaded by Wen Wen, and turned to persuade Gu Qingdai.
Fan Zheng was reluctant, "I'm sorry for you. What's the conflict between us? I'm not diligent enough to come to your teahouse? That guy's birthday is today. Even if the house is busy, he didn't ask you to come over."
