I open a restaurant in Xiujie

After drawing portraits for everyone, Yu Xiaotan packed up the abandoned contracts and told Bai Junda, "Okay, let them go."

The invisible sword intent quietly disappeared.

No need for Bai Junda to say anything, those people scattered and fled in all directions. For a while, the spiritual wind overflowed in front of the restaurant, the spiritual clouds floated, and flew towards the sky in all directions.

Standing behind him, Ji Chuchen said softly, "Xiaotan, should the opening of Xianyou Street be postponed for a few days?"

Yu Xiaotan was silent for a moment, then whispered: "We don't have any brokers who broke the contract, how many are left?"

"Ten does not save one." Ji Chuchen handed the rest of the contract to Yu Xiaotan.

The thin stack of spiritual papers contrasted sharply with the thick stack of picture albums next to it.

Bai Junda drove all those people away, walked back to the door of the restaurant cursing, and touched the picture album in disgust: "Yu Xiaotan, should we hang all these pictures up, and hang him on the entire wall?"

The Bai family takes "integrity" as its foundation. Bai Junda has always been taught by the master of the Bai family, and he hates the treacherous people the most in his life.

Now the entire restaurant is working hard for Xianyou Street, and he is also looking forward to the opening day with all his heart. He didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and the little fat man was about to explode.

"...don't be in a hurry." Yu Xiaotan's eyes drooped slightly, "Xiaobai, invite the rest of the people who haven't broken the contract, I have something to say to them."

Bai Junda has long been convinced of Yu Xiaotan, seeing the young man so calm, his heart is mostly at ease, so he ran to call for someone.

Yu Xiaotan put away the album, took a long breath, turned to look at Ji Chuchen, and the smile was restored on his face: "Brother Ji, today is thanks to you."

Ji Chuchen replied with a gentle smile: "between you and me, why should you be so polite."

As he spoke, he picked up the long sword in his hand again, fondled it a few times, and said with a smile, "What's more, I got such a spiritual weapon."

Yu Xiaotan looked at the long sword, and saw that the hilt of the sword was wrapped like wings, the body of the sword glowed with a cold light like flowing water, and the tip picked up a touch of silver light, making clear sounds in the sunlight.

It is indeed a rare treasure.

Caressing the long sword, Ji Chuchen suddenly said: "Wang Mo's cultivation level is low, but he can have such a spiritual weapon by his side. I'm afraid he has a strong background in Qianjin Pavilion."

"It's okay, Brother Ji, he's been talking badly about us, so what do we do with a sword from him?"

Yu Xiaotan threw the ground and said loudly: "This sword flew to your side by himself. So many people present can testify that he himself is not good at learning skills. Do you have to blame other people for their high talents?"

"If someone dares to come to the restaurant, let's activate the big formation and deal with him. Change your mind and break the contract...Even the Qianjin Pavilion can't be so dishonest. If it gets out, his business will not be good. Do."

During the conversation, Bai Junda brought a dozen people back, and they stood sparsely in the yard.

Most of them are scattered brokers, with no big forces behind them, and they don't know anything about what happened this morning.

If Bai Junda hadn't gone to look for them, they would still be foolishly standing in front of the booth allocated in advance, wondering why the shopkeeper hadn't come to fulfill the contract at dawn.

To these people, Yu Xiaotan said kindly: "Everyone, I'm sorry, there is something I don't want to hide, you must know."

Immediately, he told the story of Guanghuazhai, from the restaurant that was suddenly erected in the east of the city, to the man who forced him into the restaurant early in the morning the day before yesterday and made abusive remarks, including the conditions under which they intend to merge Yu's restaurant.

As Yu Xiaotan's crisp voice echoed in front of the restaurant, the expressions of the dozen or so people left behind were all different. Some of them frowned, some had flickering eyes, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

After explaining what happened, Yu Xiaotan took a cup of tea from Ji Chuchen, nodded gratefully to the young man, and immediately drank it down, moistening his slightly hoarse voice.

The young man coughed, his eyes were sincere, and he picked up the thin spiritual deed placed next to him: "That's how it happened. In short, we have provoked Guanghuazhai now, and the brokers we negotiated in advance have also withdrawn in large numbers."

"If we open as usual now, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet everyone's previous expectations. To tell you the truth, I spent almost all of my family's wealth on this Xianyou Street. Now that Xianyou Street is not successful, I have to face heavy debts, so... ..."

He flicked the spirit deed in his palm, and gave a wry smile helplessly: "If everyone wants to withdraw, I fully understand. As long as you raise it, Yu's restaurant will return the spirit deed immediately without charging any liquidated damages."

"But no matter how many, I really don't have the spare capacity here, please forgive me."

As soon as the words fell, several people immediately stood up from the line and gave Yu Xiaotan an apologetic salute.

The first person to stand up apologized: "We are casual cultivators, we don't have much influence, we can earn a little money by being a broker, and barely get some training resources for ourselves. We really don't dare to fight against a family like Guanghuazhai."

"We are very grateful to the shopkeeper for being so candid. The liquidated damages are still payable, and the shopkeeper can't let you lose too much."

Yu Xiaotan nodded, and said softly, "That's fine."

"Since that's the case, would you like me to draw a portrait of you? If you want to come to Xianyou Street to do business in the future, if you bring this portrait, Yu's Restaurant will give priority to it."

The man shook his head again and again, as if he had some scruples: "No need."

After saying that, he took the contract and left without looking back.

Like him, the vast majority of people in the team took the paper deeds without saying a word, and some silently paid the liquidated damages. When these people took out the spirit stones, Yu Xiaotan looked at their faces carefully, trying to remember the appearance of the other party heart.

Their restaurant seems to be cornered now, so in the desperate situation, this kind of small kindness has become very precious.

Ji Chuchen didn't say anything, but Bai Junda looked flustered, and pulled Yu Xiaotan to babble: "Are we really out of money? Then the [-] spirit stones are all spent? I'll go to my father again, please do Don't delay Xianyou Street because of this..."

Yu Xiaotan hurriedly covered his mouth.

Bai Junda struggled under his palm, Yu Xiaotan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and leaned into Bai Junda's ear: "Don't panic, there is still money, I lied to them."

Only then did Bai Junda calm down a bit.

He blinked suspicious little eyes, but he couldn't hold back after all, and after a while, he came up eagerly: "Is there really any money? Yu Xiaotan, don't slap your swollen face to pretend to be fat, and fool me."

"Keep your voice down."

Yu Xiaotan pressed Bai Junda's shoulder and whispered: "I said that on purpose, take this opportunity, let's kick out all those wandering minds - even if these people don't say anything for the time being, they may become buried in our hearts in the future. nails."

Bai Junda understood now, and nodded repeatedly.

But after a while, he drooped his brows and complained in a low voice: "Yu Xiaotan, you are too biased, you don't tell me this kind of thing, just tell Boss Ji..."

"..." Yu Xiaotan looked at him strangely, "Who said I told Brother Ji?"

After the troublemakers dispersed, he did it on a whim and didn't tell anyone.

Bai Junda pouted to the side: "Look at Mr. Ji's calm and composed appearance, didn't he know about it beforehand?"

Yu Xiaotan looked at him like a fool: "That's because he's not as stupid as you..."

Ji Chuchen is so thoughtful.

For many plans and thoughts, Yu Xiaotan didn't need to speak, as long as he looked at him, he could understand.

At this time, the individual customers had almost left, and there were only a handful of people left in front of the restaurant. Yu Xiaotan smiled at them and asked doubtfully, "What about you, are you still planning to stay?"

Some of them scratched their heads in distress, and said embarrassingly: "Shopkeeper, to tell you the truth, I offended a person... It just so happens that that person has something to do with Guanghuazhai. Whether I stay or not, he will come to look for you I'm in trouble, why not..."

Yu Xiaotan nodded: "Understood. Since that's the case, you can rest assured that you can do business in Xianyou Street. If anyone troubles you, you might as well come to me."

"Although our restaurant is not a big force, there is no reason why even a few of our subordinates can't protect us."

The man was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Yu Xiaotan.

Yu Xiaotan turned his gaze to the others: "What about you, why did you stay?"

The others are a small team.

The leader was a handsome young man, who was indistinguishable between male and female, and his face was like a good girl. Seeing this, he smiled slightly, the corners of his raised eyes looked very romantic, but his eyes were calm and deep.

"I'm from Jinyutang," he said slowly, "Jinyutang and Qianjin Pavilion have never dealt with each other. Today, the little shopkeeper made that vulgar person suffer a great loss. I am very happy to see it."

Yu Xiaotan raised his eyebrows: "Just because of this?"

He paused, and said seriously: "Although thank you very much for your support, I still want to advise you to think about it. After all, my rent in Xianyou Street is not a small amount. If the profit in the future does not meet your expectations, I'm afraid your Excellency It’s also hard to explain to the higher ups.”

The young man smiled and said, "No problem, no problem."

He held a paper fan in his hand, opened it and shook it gently when he was speaking, the breeze stroked his long hair behind him, revealing a face that could almost be described as glamorous.

"The shopkeeper said just now that he spent a lot of money on Xianyou Street, but now it is difficult to get back the money, is that true?"

Yu Xiaotan nodded: "Not bad."

The young man shook his head: "Wrong. I investigated it when I came here. The little shopkeeper bought it in one go before the land price in Luo Town soared. It would not exceed a hundred gold, let alone money in the world. What's the use?"

"As for the construction of this long street, although it looks novel and prosperous, it is just some cheap things when you look closely. It is the whimsy of the little shopkeepers, so that they can show an extraordinary style on this street with ordinary things. .”

As he said that, the young man leaned slightly, nodded to Yu Xiaotan, and sighed more and more in his tone: "So I judge that this long street doesn't cost much spirit stones, and the most precious thing on this street is not the land and buildings, but the small shopkeepers doing business." thought of."

"Doing business with you, even if you lose money, you can learn a lot."

He gently shook the paper fan, and smiled at Yu Xiaotan and me: "It's worth it."
