Chapter 372 Guess
In order to serve as an example to others when Lin Chuyi took action, he did not try to cover it up. As a result, it was not long before someone found out that in recent times, the two fallen forces had simultaneously set their sights on a cosmetics store called "Qianjin Pavilion", and in order to obtain this cosmetics store, they used a lot of tricks behind the scenes.
This result was incredible. However, after repeated investigations, they were surprised to find that the only intersection between the two forces recently was the fight for this cosmetics store. What was even more bizarre was that since they took action against this cosmetics store, they have all suffered misfortunes.
Although the facts were before their eyes, they still did not want to believe it, but they had to accept it. Helplessly, they could only report the intelligence they had collected to their masters one by one.
When those high-ranking officials heard about this, they almost dropped their jaws. They never thought that a small cosmetics shop could have such a huge power that it could cause the two medium-sized forces in the capital to collapse in just a few days. This is really incredible!
They began to wonder what force the people behind the cosmetics shop called Qianjinge belonged to. After they eliminated all the forces listed, they suddenly came up with another possibility.
Why does this style of doing things seem familiar? Oh, right? Didn't a brother and sister named "Zhuxie" in the south do the same thing? What's going on? The corrupt officials in the south are not enough for them, so they come to the north to cause trouble?
Following this line of thought, they soon thought of another possibility, that is, the person behind Qianjin Pavilion was unwilling to reveal his identity, so he borrowed the name of "Zhuxie" to imitate the crime. In fact, Qianjin Pavilion had no direct relationship with the Zhuxie brothers and sisters.
Putting these two possibilities together, they are more willing to believe the latter because they don't think a gangster duo would have anything to do with opening a store and doing business.
But no matter which possibility it is, since they can easily use the same method to bring down those two forces, then it is natural that they will also use the same method on them.
They had no idea about the other party's bottom line. Before they were absolutely sure of destroying the other party, they'd better not provoke Qianjin Pavilion easily. No, not only should they not offend the other party, they should also send friendly signals to the other party.
When those old hands made up their minds to establish a good relationship with Qianjin Pavilion, they privately instructed their wives to take their younger generations to Qianjin Pavilion to shop and buy things when they were free.
It doesn’t matter if the items are expensive, they can use the government account to reimburse the money. The key is that they must have a good attitude in the Qianjin Pavilion store and must not offend anyone inside.
Although the wives of the families felt a little strange about the sudden requests and instructions from their husbands, they still nodded and agreed. After all, who can resist the joy brought by shopping?
What's more, it was the Qianjin Pavilion that had become famous in Kyoto in recent times! Whether attending tea parties or banquets, I could often hear people around me talking about this shop called Qianjin Pavilion.
They had been planning to go to Qianjin Pavilion in person after they finished their current tasks to see if the items sold there were really as magical as people boasted.
Surprisingly, before they could put it into practice, their husbands took the initiative to talk to them about it.
Although as the ladies of the inner house, they only need to focus on managing the affairs of the inner house and do not get involved in the government affairs handled by their husbands in the front yard, this does not mean that they are unaware of their husbands' way of doing things and the power they hold.
Since even her husband values and fears Qianjin Pavilion so much, the background behind it must be extraordinary.
After receiving special reminders from their husbands, they felt more at ease and silently told themselves to find an opportunity to explain the situation in detail to their children at home, so as to prevent them from accidentally offending people who should not be offended in the future and bringing unnecessary trouble to the entire family.
In this way, Qianjin Pavilion was in a busy state for a long time afterwards, because it welcomed batches of high-end customers, who were generous and generous, and brought Qianjin Pavilion a lot of income every day, making Qianjin Pavilion a lot of money.
Lin Chuyi was very confident in Shi Niang's abilities when she saw how well she handled these clients.
After Shi Niang had dealt with all matters properly and all businesses were on track, Lin Chuyi left her a huge amount of reserve funds with confidence and then quietly left Qianjin Pavilion.
Originally, Lin Chuyi planned to leave Kyoto directly. However, just as she was about to step out of the city gate, she suddenly remembered the agreement she had made with Wang Fugui.
So she changed direction and walked towards Wang Fugui's newly opened seafood restaurant.
Standing at the door of the seafood store, Lin Chuyi looked up at the golden sign hanging above, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He was asked to open a seafood restaurant, but he actually named the store "Seafood Restaurant", which is really simple and straightforward.
After expressing his feelings, Lin Chuyi gently raised his leg and stepped into the store.
Perhaps due to cost control considerations, the seafood restaurant chosen by Wang Fugui was not in a good location and could not be compared with the Huixianju restaurant inherited by his brother.
Not only is it not located in the bustling center of Kyoto, but the flow of people is also far from that of the other restaurants, which are completely different. But this is only relative. Compared with other restaurants in corners or in civilian areas with weaker consumption power, the location of the seafood restaurant is already quite good.
Because seafood restaurants mainly do business in dried seafood dishes, the purchase price of these things is not cheap, and the dishes made from them will naturally not be cheap either. Even if people in civilian areas can afford it, they are reluctant to spend the money to consume in seafood restaurants. If a seafood restaurant is opened in a civilian area, its only outcome will basically be bankruptcy.
This place is different now. Although it is not where court officials live, there are many wealthy merchants around it. As long as the dishes in the seafood restaurant taste good and the prices are not too outrageous, there will be no worries about lack of business.
Look, it’s not time for dinner yet, but there are already quite a few customers sitting in the restaurant, and everyone looks very decently dressed. From their conversation, it is not difficult to hear that many of them are regular customers of this restaurant, and some of them were recommended by their friends to come here to taste the food.
It seems that the dishes in the seafood restaurant must have their own unique taste. While Lin Chuyi was thinking about it, the waiter from the restaurant came over to him.
The waiter led Lin Chuyi to an empty table and asked her what she wanted to eat.
Lin Chuyi glanced in the direction of the counter and found that the person sitting behind the counter was not Wang Fugui, but an old man with a long beard.
Lin Chuyi calmly withdrew his gaze and asked in a boyish voice that matched his appearance, "What dishes do you have in your restaurant?"
After these words came out, the waiter's smile got bigger. "Sir, is this your first time in our seafood restaurant? Then you must try our signature dishes, seafood stewed noodles, dry pot seafood, and dried abalone stewed with fish maw. In addition to these signature dishes, our store's dried fish with black bean sauce, stir-fried squid, stir-fried meat with dried snails, dried shrimp tofu, and dried scallop and lean meat porridge are also very popular."
After a pause, the waiter continued, "But if this is your first time eating seafood, you have to take a small test to see if you are allergic to seafood. If you are allergic to seafood, you cannot eat seafood, otherwise it will easily cause big problems."
