Datang New Giants

Chapter 202 The Fake Lottery Appears
Zheng Shanguo hesitated again and again in the carriage, but finally did not get out of the carriage. Zheng Yuanxuan had nothing to do with him, and finally left quietly.

Zheng Yuanxuan's carriage hadn't left for a long time, Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chuliang rode a horse to protect a carriage and came to Fenglefang.

Cheng Chuliang was in charge of scheduling the supplies for a total of six chivalrous halls. Cheng Yaojin felt that Cheng Chuliang could calm down and do things, and found it interesting, so he followed.

Coming back this time, he still couldn't persuade Li Er to act. Cheng Yaojin knew that it was inevitable to be transferred out of Chang'an again, so he spent more time with his family when he was free.

Recently, Cheng Chuliang and Lu Ting have been busy with the affairs of Xiaweitang, it's rare to have nothing to do today, so Cheng Yaojin followed to watch the fun.

The main reason is that my son is not smart enough, so I will follow along to see if there is anything I can mention, and I can also learn about the operation of Xiaweitang. When I work in Kangzhou, I can open a branch of Xiaweitang in Kangzhou.

Lu Ting said earlier in the morning that it is not a bad thing to open Xiaweitang into a chain model, open branches all over the Tang Dynasty, and go to Kangzhou early.

"Aye, look, the Fenglefang branch is here." Cheng Chuliang pointed to the front and said.

For some reason, Cheng Chuliang felt very honored to bring Aye to see his work place.

Show that you are also a person who can do things.

"Wait" Cheng Yaojin suddenly pulled Cheng Chuliang back and said, "Did you see anything?"

"I see, Aye, there is a queue at the door. The business of Xiaweitang is really good. We have to send the meat and vegetables quickly. If there are not enough materials, it will affect the profit."

Cheng Yaojin was so angry that his old face twitched, he couldn't help but slapped Cheng Chuliang on the head, and said angrily: "What's so interesting about those people at the door, I'll let you see inside."

There are people queuing up at the door, but the real meat is inside, I saw Lu Ting sitting in the shop, chatting and laughing with two young women, both of whom Cheng Yaojin knew, one was Zheng Yuanxuan's precious daughter Zheng Yanzhi, The other is Zheng Zihan, the daughter of Zheng Shanguo.

Good guy, both Xingyang Shuangjiao are here, and the two women are smiling at Lu Ting. No, Zheng Yanzhi poured a cup of tea for Lu Ting, and that Zheng Zihan quickly gave Lu Ting a piece of meat.

Lu Ting, this boy, can face Xingyang Shuangjiao right and left?

Cheng Yaojin's eyes are red, the gap is too big, he is Su Guogong anyway, for the sake of his three sons, his old face is going all out, and he wants to have a daughter-in-law with five surnames, but he can't get it, Cheng's family prepares He couldn't invite guests even if he had delicacies from mountains and seas, but Lu Ting ate cage rice worth tens of pennies each, accompanied by two girls with five surnames.

"I see, the boss is here, and the two ladies from the Zheng residence are also here." Cheng Chuliang replied honestly.

Seeing his son's blank face, Cheng Yaojin was overwhelmed with anger. Thinking that the father and son would soon be separated, he resisted the urge to slap him, and said persuasively, "Second brother, you don't have any thoughts. ? Not surprised?"

"Think about it." Cheng Chuliang licked his lips, and said with a simple and honest face: "Aye, I'm a little hungry. Once I invited Aye to eat lamb chops and cage rice. As for the surprise, I can't be too surprised, isn't it just two people?" A woman, last time in the Wanhuayuan, those red cards and nobles lined up to toast the boss."

Cheng Yaojin twitched his old face, looked Cheng Chuliang up and down, and said to himself depressedly for a while: "Everything is fine, but my brain doesn't follow me, alas"

While speaking, he turned the horse's head and left.

Tired.

"Aye, we're here, didn't you say you want to take a good look at it?" Cheng Chuliang asked in surprise.

Cheng Yaojin didn't know it either, he just waved his hand and said: "I think there is something to discuss in the Qin Palace, so I don't want to look at it."

Still look at the fart, go to be hit.

Cheng Chuliang scratched his head in some puzzlement, always feeling that something was wrong with Aye's expression, he couldn't figure it out, so he just didn't think about it, and quickly waved his hand, directing people to pull a cart full of meat and vegetables in through the back door.

"Boss, why are you here? The two Miss Zhengs are also here." Cheng Chuliang greeted him as soon as he entered the Xiaweitang.

"Master Cheng" Zheng Yanzhi and Zheng Zihan stood up and saluted.

They are all in Chang'an, and they have met each other a few times at some gatherings, and they are considered to be acquainted with each other. Cheng Chuliang greeted the two women, then sat down naturally, and asked someone to bring him two lamb chops and cage rice. .

"Third brother, I seem to have seen Uncle Cheng just now?" Lu Ting asked casually.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin approaching Fenglefang Xiaweitang branch, suddenly turned around and left, Lu Ting felt a little strange.

"Aye wanted to visit Xiaweitang, and it was almost here, but suddenly wanted to go to Prince Qin's Mansion to discuss something, so he left." Cheng Chuliang said honestly.

Lu Ting nodded: "Oh, so that's the case, business matters."

With Cheng Yaojin's shrewdness, he will definitely not forget such an important thing. In all likelihood, he saw himself and the sisters from the Zheng family here, and saw that they were all young people. just leave.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for your hospitality. The little girl has something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Seeing Cheng Chuliang arrived, Zheng Yanzhi said to Lu Ting with a smile.

Zheng Zihan also stood up: "The little girl still has homework to do, Mr. Lu, Mr. Cheng, take your leave."

The two women's ideas are quite the same. Lu Ting is a famous talent and a recognized genius. You can ask others to ask him for advice, but Cheng Chuliang is different. He is the son of the Duke's Mansion. Non-language, the impact is not good.

The main reason is that he dare not have scandals with Cheng Chuliang.

A bit of a drop in price.

Just when Lu Ting was about to say goodbye happily, he saw a horse galloping towards Xiaweitang, and stopped suddenly when it was almost in the doorway, and then a man quickly jumped off the horse, and ran in three steps at two steps , Said while running: "Master Lu Lu, it's not good, something happened."

The person who came was Duan San Dao Lei Hu, and when he saw Lu Ting, he said out of breath.

Lu Ting was taken aback, and quickly said, "What happened? Is it serious?"

Seeing that Duan Sandao was riding in such a hurry, Lu Ting was worried that something might happen. He was really afraid of something. When he heard something happened, his heart beat faster.

Not only Cheng Chuliang, but also Zheng Yanzhi and Zheng Zihan stared nervously at Duan Sandao.

Duan Sandao gasped for breath, and quickly said: "That's right, a group of shopkeepers suddenly came to the Xiaweitang branch in Huaiyuanfang. When they came, they were very responsible and didn't make trouble. When they got their food, they were just a little bit noisy, but it wasn't a big deal, but the inspecting blood monkeys found that they used fake lottery tickets, and they caught them on the spot and wanted to send them to the government. There are many of them, but they are our opponents, and we brought them down in a short while."

"Before they were tied up and sent to officials, people from Jingzhao Mansion came. It seemed that the team leading the team knew a street person. Without saying a word, they said they would lock everyone back and entered the prison in Jingzhao Mansion. , it will not be easy to come out, maybe it will drag the prince, Mr. Lu, please make up your mind."

After finishing speaking, Duan Sandao had a remorseful expression on his face.

Lu Ting became anxious when he heard it, and immediately stood up: "Go, if you have anything to say, say it on the way."

Even the people in the Jingzhao Mansion were alarmed, indicating that the incident was serious, and the biggest worry now is whether someone deliberately targeted this matter.

The property and business belonging to Prince Qin's Mansion are doing quite well, if the Prince's Mansion is to keep an eye on it, then it's not the time to reason.

He has two official words, and he can say whatever he wants.

Duan Sandao nodded, got into the carriage with Lu Ting and Cheng Chuliang, and drove in the direction of Huaiyuanfang.

Horses are not allowed in Chang'an City, running fast is useless, sitting in a carriage can still talk well, Lu Ting pulls Cheng Chuliang along, after all, no one dares to despise the son of the duke's mansion and the son of Cheng Mowang.

Seeing Lu Ting leaving in a hurry without even saying hello, Zheng Yanzhi and Zheng Zihan felt a little dissatisfied in their hearts. They looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and soon followed in the carriage to see what could be done. It's good to help.

On the carriage, Lu Ting asked anxiously: "I was in a hurry just now, I didn't ask clearly, and found a fake lottery? What's going on?"

Duan Sandao said: "It's a fake lottery. They secretly imitate Xiaweitang's lottery. When they arrive at Xiaweitang, they buy the cheapest lottery first and turn it into an expensive lottery when they give it to the staff. For example, they Buy a lot of fish, and secretly replace it with lamb chops when you get the meal, or buy only one, but get two or three, or even buy a lot of excess, turn around and find a reason to refund the money with a fake one , It's really hateful."

Lu Ting frowned and said, "Fake lottery? When did it appear? Are there many?"

The characteristics of Xiaweitang are not only delicious, but also cheap and fast. Needless to say, the food is fixed every day, and you can sell whatever you want, not just what you want. The speed is several times faster than other restaurants. ; As for cheap, it is to optimize the allocation of resources through concentration, reduce expenses as much as possible, and reduce costs on the premise of ensuring profits, including manpower.

Fewer people is good, and the pros and cons are obvious. Fewer people receive the monthly payment, and the expenses are greatly reduced. But there are also problems. There are not enough people, and many things cannot be covered. Greedy customers take advantage of loopholes.

On the first day of Xiaweitang's establishment, Lu Ting considered this problem. Some people took advantage of the lack of manpower in Xiaweitang, and molded lottery tickets were just one of them.

To be honest, Xiaweitang's lottery tickets are made of bamboo, which is not exquisite enough, and it is not difficult to imitate at all, and the cost is also low. Lu Ting thought about it, thinking that the price is cheap, and people will not take risks for a small profit. It is said that the backing of Xiaweitang is Qin Wangfu, and there are big figures like Cheng Yaojin, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji and Changsun Wuji to support him, so anyone who moves must weigh it.

Unexpectedly, for this small amount of money, someone really came up with the idea of ​​​​Xiaweitang.

Duan Sandao nodded and said: "It appeared about half a month ago, and the account and production volume do not match."

"What? It happened half a month ago? Why didn't I know about it?" Lu Ting's eyes widened.

He has the final say on all the affairs of Xiaweitang, and it happened half a month ago, why didn't he hear any news.

Duan Sandao said with some embarrassment: "Blood Monkey wanted to talk at first, but Boss Zhang stopped him, saying that he can't ask Master Lu for everything, and that he has too many things to do, he is busy, and he can solve it by himself. At that time, I thought that there were many customers, and many old brothers were still newbies. They were not familiar with them, and they missed and received less. For this reason, Boss Zhang and Blood Monkey trained the old brothers a lot. Pass."

"Later, during the investigation, it was discovered that there were fake lottery tickets mixed in, and they knew that people would make counterfeit ones. Boss Zhang and Blood Monkey thought of many ways, such as engraving several different sets of lottery tickets, so that the staff should pay attention when receiving the lottery tickets. No, some lottery tickets are made too much alike, and some are made exactly the same. There are secret notes and everything. After thinking about it, Boss Zhang came up with a way to patrol secretly and wait for rabbits. coming."

Cheng Chuliang slapped the small table in front of him, gritted his teeth and said: "Those farm slaves dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, don't worry, boss, I won't need you to do anything for a while, I will break their hands, and see who will dare to do so in the future!" The idea of ​​playing Xiaweitang."

After all, I am also a member of Xiaweitang, and I know what Lu Tingla meant by joining. If something happens, I must show my attitude.

"Third brother, don't be impulsive, just look at me later." Lu Ting said.

Without waiting for Cheng Chuliang to speak, Lu Ting added: "It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not. It's a troubled time now, so you can't drag Uncle Cheng and the prince down."

People from Jingzhao Mansion arrived so quickly, could it be the work of the Prince's Mansion?
If the situation is not right, even if he suffers a little loss and suffers a little grievance, it can't ruin Li Er's big event.

"Understood, boss." Cheng Chuliang originally wanted to argue a few words, but when he heard Wang Ye and Aye, he quickly expressed his obedience.

Lu Ting prepared for the worst in the carriage, but when he got out of the carriage, he was stunned: there were still some traces of fighting on the ground of the Chivalry Hall, but the impact was not big, there was a waiter cleaning, and many guests seemed to be Dine like nothing else, Cheng Yaojin waved goodbye to a team leader, a group of wolfish yamen servants kicked and drove away a few street people tied in a string with ropes, and walked in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion.

"Uncle Cheng, what's going on?" Lu Ting said in surprise.

"What's going on?" Cheng Yaojin said indifferently: "It's just a few city people and farm slaves who hate their lives, who came here to make trouble. The people from Jingzhao Mansion happened to see them during their inspection, so they sent them to the police station. Lock it back, that’s all, what else can you do.”

Cheng Chuliang spoke bluntly and couldn't help asking: "Aye, aren't those people sent by the Prince's Mansion?"

On the carriage just now, Lu Ting and Cheng Chuliang repeatedly emphasized not to be impulsive, and analyzed that it might be the work of the Prince's House. After all, there are not many people who dare to make trouble in Chang'an, and even less people who do it in the Xiaweitang sheltered by the Prince Qin's House.

"Keep your voice down." Cheng Yaojin hurriedly shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, why, do you all think so?"

While speaking, Cheng Yaojin cast his eyes on Lu Ting.

Knowing that Cheng Yaojin was waiting for his answer, Lu Ting nodded and said, "Don't dare to lie to Uncle Cheng, I really have this idea."

Cheng Yaojin chuckled, looked around and saw no outsiders approaching, and then explained casually: "Although the prince is not as talented and general as King Qin, he is still a character. With the prince's vision and pattern, he doesn't pay attention to a few shops at all. In the middle, a small person like you can't get into the eyes of the prince, don't put gold on your face, besides, the meaning of Xiaweitang is extraordinary, no one will touch it easily."
