The strange thing that night happened, after Sun Yixie and Yun Shili deceived it, it was basically smoothed over; after all, there were only five witnesses who actually saw Yuwei Immortal, and later Yuwei What exactly the Great Immortal said to Sun Yun and the others is known only to them and the Yuwei Great Immortal.
The servants in the Sun Mansion didn’t see much anyway, so they were easy to get rid of. However, Hu Qiu, Mr. Lu and Master Wo Jian were all well-known people, and they had a tight-knit tone and wouldn’t go anywhere. It's just gossip, and besides... if they really talk about this kind of thing everywhere, no one may believe it.
The next day, Yun Shili left the Sun Mansion with the "Visiting the Lake and Encountering Immortals", and the matter came to an end.
Just like that, two months passed in a blink of an eye.
Spring passes and summer comes, and it’s summer again.
On this day, after dinner, Sun Yixie happened to have some free time, so he decided to go to the "West Lake Lounge" as a routine inspection.
Speaking of this West Lake Dining Room, it has been making money every day recently and has become famous far and wide; not only is the lunch market full of seats, there are many repeat customers, but even the "Kaizi Box" that is only open in the evening is a good place to sit every night. It’s full, and even reservations are scheduled for a month later.
There is no doubt that Sun Yixie's business strategy is very successful, and Xue Tui, who is usually in charge of the restaurant's operation, also plays an important role. In addition, Yuan Fangzhi and Zhang Ergui are in charge of the kitchen. , it’s hard to imagine whether this business will be prosperous or not.
However, the past two months have not been without some disturbances. The main reason is that some merchants from other places have experienced the "high-end service" of West Lake Lounge and have begun to imitate it. Many people even tried to poach Xue, Yuan and Zhang with huge sums of money on the spot.
Of course, this kind of poaching is impossible to succeed...
It's not that the treatment given by those bosses is not as good as Sun Yixie's, it's just because Sun Yixie treats Xue Tui , Yuan Fangzhi and Zhang Ergui are kind - as the saying goes, adding icing on the cake is not as good as giving help in the nick of time. Sun Yixie once helped these three people in their most difficult time, so they must repay their kindness.
What's more important is that before the restaurant opened, Sun Yixie had already given the "Taihe Gong's Secret Recipe" he had obtained from Lanruo Temple to Yuan as a favor. Master Zhang; for the chef, this is a priceless treasure. After receiving such a heavy gift, this debt of gratitude will definitely be repaid even after retirement.
"Hey! Young Master, you are here!" The waiters at the West Lake Residence are also sharp-eyed and clever. Sun Yixie is still far away from the door, and the waiter in charge of welcoming guests at the door has already told him Recognized and greeted.
"Ah... let's take a look." Sun Yixie responded and walked in.
Because it was the evening market and only the top two floors were open, the surroundings were quite quiet when he walked into the lobby on this floor.
This is exactly the atmosphere Sun Yixie wants to create.
He did not want the guests who came to the private rooms upstairs to see a chaotic and hot scene when they entered the restaurant.It was noisy, and then went upstairs to take a seat through the noisy lobby - this was the case with Gu Qiying's "No Return Building", and its user experience was not good.
Sun Yixie hoped that when those elites walked into the West Lake Lounge, they would immediately have the feeling of walking into a high-end membership-only club.
"Shopkeeper Xue is greeting the guests upstairs. How about I invite him down for you?" The waiter knew that Sun Yixie must have asked Shopkeeper Xue first when he came here, so he would not ask at all." Young master, what are you doing here?" This nonsense, but asked this question directly.
"No need, just rest. I'll go up and look for him myself." Sun Yixie waved his hand, indicating that the other party didn't need to follow him, and then went up to the second floor.
Don’t underestimate the phrase “take a break”. Generally, bosses would not say this to their employees during working hours. Even if they did, it would probably be in a weird way, but Sun Yixie often said this to his employees. When you say this to your subordinates, you always mean to let them rest seriously.
"Laziness" is human nature. Leaving aside some special cases, there is room for laziness in most service and grassroots operation jobs, and there is indeed a need for laziness; appropriate laziness not only eliminates The harm can actually improve work efficiency. Most "sophisticated" employees can find a way to be lazy that does not affect efficiency and suits them... For such employees, smart managers will choose to turn a blind eye. , as long as people complete the work they should do, it is a good thing, but incompetent managers will cling to all kinds of trivial disciplines like Zhou Bapi, and even limit other people's time to go to the toilet, which will ultimately reduce the Destroy employees' work enthusiasm and efficiency, or force them to leave.
Take the current guy as an example. He has good eyesight, is smart, and can talk. There are not many customers in the West Lake Dinner Market, so when someone comes in, he will naturally be there. They stand respectfully at the door to welcome guests, but what about when no one is around?
If you let a boss who always wants to "squeeze every bit of labor out of his employees", you will definitely ask him to stand like a flagpole when no one is around. As long as he is caught If you fail to stand up properly once, you will be deducted money. This way of doing it... In the end, either the person standing for a long time affects his state when welcoming guests, or the person is too hurt by the deduction of money, or feels that standing is too painful, and the money is not worth it, so he simply Quit.
But Sun Yixie is different. He understands human nature well, and he himself is a very lazy person, so he will never make such a mistake; every time he convenes a meeting with his subordinates, He made it clear: "As long as it doesn't affect your work, you can rest as long as you can. Don't be polite to me. I won't increase the money even if you are polite."
In the past six months, even Xue Tui has learned this. Sun Yixie used this method to control people. After using it, he said, "The young master is unpredictable, and Xue was too shallow in the past."
Back to the topic...
Let’s just say that Sun Yixie went all the way to the top floor by himself.
Coincidentally, he had just stepped onto the corridor on that floor and was still standing on the edge of the stair railing.Then I met Mr. Xue. But for some reason... the latter's face was showing a very tangled look at the moment.
"Hey! Mr. Xue, you..." Sun Yixie didn't have time to say hello to the other party.
"Shh" his young boss? In fact, it depends on the situation. If you have a good relationship, you can dare; in ancient times, there were masters and servants who had a good relationship like a family, and there were also brothers who had a relationship that was like enemies.
Xue Tui and Sun Yixie obviously have a good relationship. When Sun Yixie saw Mr. Xue like this, he knew something must be wrong, so he didn't say anything. Went back to the third floor.
"What's the matter?" Sun Yixie casually guessed, "Is there... some unwelcome guest?"
His intuition was quite accurate.
"It's not that it's not hard to greet..." Xue Tui replied, "It's easy to say hello. They are also very polite and they say they are satisfied with the food. It's just..." After he said this, he looked up. He rolled his eyes and said, "I suspect he didn't bring any money."
"What!" When Sun Yixie heard the words "no money," his voice suddenly rose. Dozens of decibels, "Please tell me in detail, who is this person? What's going on?"
"He was alone when he came in. He didn't bring anyone with him, and he didn't give his name. , he said that he wanted the best room." Xue Tui also looked embarrassed and replied truthfully, "This is indeed the first time we have encountered such a master...if he is in rags, has a dirty face, or has a dirty face. He has a hateful face and sly eyebrows... Then we won't be polite to him and just think he's here to eat the King's meal and throw him out. But I think that boy's dress, although it can't be called luxurious, is quite decent, and His appearance and demeanor are really good. He doesn't look like an ordinary citizen, let alone a gangster... We don't dare to offend him. What if he is really a dignitary but just wears low-key clothes? I just asked others to take out their pockets and show me if they had any money... That was so inappropriate."
"Well..." Sun Yixie nodded and continued, "So you do. Are you going to receive him normally?"
"Oh... we open the door for business, can't we receive him?" Xue Tui replied, "I took him into the Da'da as he said. After "Finch Code", he ordered all the best dishes here and ordered a full jar of good wine. By now he had been seated for more than an hour... I made excuses several times When I went into his room to say hello, he greeted me with a smile, but I couldn't get him out of my way. He didn't even tell me his last name. The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became..." As he spoke, Mr. Xue's eyes changed. The son glanced up again and said, "I just came out of his room on the front foot, and met you on the back foot. Look at this..."
"Okay, Mr. Xue, please Don't worry about it, just leave this matter to me." Sun Yixie was stunned when he heard this.He was about 70% sure that the man was here to eat the King's meal, so he said, "I'll go in and chat with him for a while. If he really comes here to eat and drink for free, I can definitely tell him off with just a few words..." When the time comes, if it can be done, I will do it myself, but if it can’t be done... we can go to the Yamen and call for help, or we can use drugs and smoke, there is always a way."
"Then... Master. Please be more careful," Xue Tui said.
"I know, just watch." Sun Yixie said, turned around and went upstairs again, heading straight to the best private room, "The Da Vinci Code".
Tuk Du——
He did not act rashly, but knocked on the door politely first.
"Come in." A man's voice came from inside the door. He sounded young, energetic, and a little drunk.
Hearing the sound, Sun Yixie opened the door. Unexpectedly, he made eye contact with the person in the room at the door, Hey! know.
Who is this in the room?
This man's surname is Tang and his given name is Wei Zhi. He is the nineteenth generation disciple of the "former" Kongtong sect, but he has been expelled from the sect.
As mentioned in the previous document, Tang Weizhi once competed with Song Xiang in the "Hundred Days Competition" in Runan City, but was assassinated by the "Shadowless Sword" Zhao Youyou. Defeated; Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji witnessed the whole process in the audience at that time, so they were naturally impressed by his appearance.
"Eh? Why is it you?" Sun Yixie hadn't spoken yet, but Tang Weizhi also recognized him, so he blurted out this sentence.
"Oh?" Seeing this reaction, Sun Yixie calmly asked, "Brother, do you recognize me?"
"Huh... ..." Tang Weizhi smiled and responded, "It's not surprising that the famous 'Dong Xie' is recognized by others, right?"
Sun Yixie has not been involved in the world since he returned to Hangzhou. He has dealt with many people, so he still doesn’t know that after half a year, under the operation of the concubine, “Eastern Harmony and Western Poison” has already become a well-known name in the world, and many of the things Sun and Huang have done before Their deeds have also been constantly exaggerated and fermented in various "planned" rumors... This has led to a very strange situation, that is, in the six months since the two of them have not set foot in the world, their reputation has become worse than before. More prosperous.
"Oh..." Sun Yixie didn't react immediately when he heard what he said. However, he recalled that as soon as Tang Weizhi came off the stage, he rushed up to challenge Song Xiang and reported to him After hearing his name, it was normal for Tang Weizhi to recognize him, "Um... this brother, I actually recognize you too. I wonder if you still remember..."
"Of course I do." Tang Weizhi replied. Before Brother Sun could finish speaking, he said, "That day I was plotted against by the 'Shadowless Sword' in the ring. The people around me couldn't tell it, but I think Sun Shaoxia must have. That's why you were furious on the spot and came out to take my place." I'm sorry, right?"
He just misunderstood this...
Brother Sun jumped up and cursed Song Xiang that day, not because of the fact that Tang Weizhi was plotted against him, but because he bet ten taels of silver on a nearby handicap that Tang Weizhi would win, but Tang Weizhi was defeated by the plot. If Brother Sun had bet on Song Xiang to win that day, he would probably have turned around and left happily, and the series of events that followed would not have happened.
"Hahaha...this is what it should be." Of course, Sun Yixie would not tell the truth to Tang Weizhi. Anyway, Huang Donglai was not here at the moment, and no one could expose him, so he could do whatever he wanted. Making history, "As the saying goes, when you see an injustice on the road, you roar, and you take action when it's time to take action... I have always been so jealous of evil."
"Hahaha, good! As expected of Sun Yixie." Tang Weizhi also smiled and responded, "Come, Sun Shaoxia, Tang will give you a drink."
"So this brother, your surname is Tang?" Sun Yixie said, and took it with him. He opened the door and walked to the table naturally and sat down.
"Oh! Haha... Look at me... I drank too much, and I almost forgot... I haven't reported myself yet." Tang Weizhi said slightly drunkenly, and raised his head He poured a glass of wine for Sun Yixie and said, "I, Tang Weizhi, am Kongtong..." He almost said the three words "Kongtong Sect" smoothly, but when the words came to his mouth, his mind was still After reacting, he had to smile bitterly and continued, "...I'm just an idler."
Sun Yixie took the wine glass handed by the other party and replied: "It turns out to be Brother Tang. Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you."
"Don't dare, Tang is just a few years older. He can't compare with you, Sun Shaoxia." Tang Weizhi said with a hint of sadness in his voice, while he linked his arms and saluted. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Here, let me toast you."
"Do it."
"Do it!"
The two of them clinked the wine glasses and drank from each other. Finally, it was Tang Weizhi who spoke first: "By the way, Sun Shaoxia, why are you here in the West Lake Lounge? Why are you knocking on my door?"
"Huh?" Sun Yixie looked at the other party. It wasn't like he was asking questions knowingly, but he was also suspicious, "What? Don't you know? I own this restaurant."
"Hiss—" Tang Weizhi's face changed after hearing this. That was embarrassing and shameful.
As for him, he doesn’t have much scheming to begin with. In addition, he has drunk a lot of wine at this time, and basically all his emotions are written directly on his face.
Then why did he react like this?
The book here hints that Tang Weizhi really came here to eat the Overlord’s meal today.
As mentioned in the previous document, when Tang Weizhi was still in the Kongtong sect, he had a problem - he loved gambling; just because he accidentally killed a rogue who came to ask for a debt in anger, he caused trouble. After losing his life, he was expelled from the school.
After that, he became an idle person in the world. When he had the chance, he would catch a few lone thieves, either rob them directly, or send them to the government to get some money; If he didn't have that chance, he would just ask for food.
What is the "Master of the Kongtong School"?He has long since given up on the face of "brother", which is why in Runan City he would go on stage to fight with a layman like Song Xiang for a reward of one hundred taels of silver.
Of course, no matter what happens again, no matter what Tang Weizhi does, No matter how downcast he is, he is still better than the "Red Plum Bird", because Tang Weizhi himself also came from a poor background, so even if he had to sell his dignity, he would not do anything to oppress the poor people.
Then he is today. What's going on here?
The reason is simple...he is hungry.
Tang Weizhi's wandering life has continued since the last time he left Runan. In the past few days, he happened to wander into Hangzhou Prefecture.
When he entered the city, he still had some money on him. However... after entering the city, he went to the gambling house and played for half a day before he came out. There was no penny left. If it hadn't been for the fact that the gambling house could only deposit money but not property, he would have lost all of his pretty good clothes.
This happened again recently. The public security in Hangzhou was very good. Tang Weizhi wandered around the city for two days without encountering a single thief, so he was hungry for two days.
He really couldn't bear it anymore. He thought about it, even if I die, I can't starve to death. I'm going to have a meal.
As I said before, Tang Weizhi doesn't bully the poor, but he doesn't have a good impression of the rich. It seemed to him that most of the local tyrants and evil gentry were similar to Song Xiang, especially the ones who did more business, the darker their hearts became.
So, he asked people on the street about the city of Hangzhou. Which is the most luxurious and expensive restaurant? Someone told him - Xihu Yazuo.
If Tang Weizhi could hear what he said, he would know that this place was owned by Sun Yixie. Maybe he won't come, but he didn't finish listening...
Based on the part of what he heard, he thought: This kind of night only receives high-profile guests, all are private rooms, and there are no A place where you can't even enter with a hundred taels of silver, it is definitely a black shop... You have made so much dirty money, it doesn't matter if I eat you today, right? If I misunderstand, then you can give me a slap. , I agreed to send me to see the official, at least there would be food in the prison.
After making up his mind, Tang Weizhi's Overlord Dinner Operation began...
But he had nothing to do with it. Unexpectedly, he met Sun Yixie halfway through the meal and learned that the West Lake Seat was Brother Sun's property.
From Tang Weizhi's point of view, Sun Yixie was a substitute. He went too far, but not only could he not repay him, he also planned to eat and drink for free in the shop owned by others... This is really unjustifiable, so he looked ashamed and at a loss.
"Alas. ...Sun Shaoxia, I'm telling you the truth, I..." Tang Weizhi thought for a while and decided that it would be better to tell the truth as soon as possible. It would be uncomfortable to continue to stretch him, so it would be better to tell him the truth happily. Then he can be dealt with in any way he wants, even if he is beaten to death. He recognizes him.
“Brother Tang, you don’t need to say anything. Unexpectedly, Brother Sun interrupted him immediately, "It is fate that you and I meet here today. I like to make friends. I must treat you to this meal. YouIf you want to be polite to me, I will turn my back on you! "
"Sun Shaoxia...this..." Tang Weizhi still wanted to explain, "Tang actually came..."
Sun Yixie had already seen through his thoughts. There is no room for the other person to say it: “Hey! Brother Tang, it doesn't matter what you're here for. Sun now has a merciless request. I hope you'll listen to me first for the sake of this meal. "
When Tang Wei heard that the other party wanted to ask for something from him, he swallowed his words again. He said to himself: "If I can comply with what he said, then his meal will not be in vain. Okay, I'd better listen to it first. "
"Uh...Sun Shaoxia, but it doesn't matter. "Tang Weizhi hesitated for a moment and then responded.
At this moment, the expression on Tang Weizhi's face really revealed his inner thoughts too clearly. It can be said that he is controlled by Sun Yixie.
Oh, as a side note, his frequent losses in gambling are also related to his facial expressions... The trouble is that he doesn't know it yet.
"Brother Tang, you just said that you are an idler, right? "Sun Yixie then asked.
"Ah...yes. "Tang Weizhi nodded and replied.
"Well...that's it. Sun Yixie said, "My restaurant has just been open for two months, and the business is pretty good. The local black and white restaurants also give me face, and no one dares to come and cause trouble." But... as the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind... If the current trend continues, there is no guarantee that no one will come to my place to cause trouble in the future; I am not afraid of breaking things, I am just afraid of hurting my people... Therefore, I have been I want to find a capable helper to help me take care of this 'West Lake Lounge'. If there is any emergency, I can protect my guys here. ”
When he said this, Tang Weizhi actually understood that Sun Yixie was going to give him an offer as a security captain.
Tang Weizhi really didn’t expect that Brother Sun would not only give him He has to eat and even be given a "rice bowl". If this thing really happens, it would be great, because it is very difficult for abandoned disciples like him who were expelled from the master to get along outside...
Stay in the world, he is considered a tainted person, he is not young anymore, it will be difficult for him to become a disciple again, and his martial arts skills are not enough to set up his own business; he is a bit disdainful to him if he joins the green forest path. , because no matter how much people in the green forest claim to "rob the rich and give to the poor", in fact they will still harm the poor people to some extent. This is Tang Weizhi's G-spot, and he is determined not to do it; instead, let him be an ordinary citizen and find A job similar to moving bricks is too humiliating.
In short, it’s a job that’s too high and too low to do...
The most ideal way out for people like him. Well, in fact, just like Ma Chu and Zhao Taotao, find a rich family to be a housekeeper or a boxing master. This way you can use your expertise, get good treatment, and generally be considered decent... But this kind of position is not something you can find just by looking for it. There are many people in this industry who are better than Tang Weizhi in martial arts. How come it is Sun Yixie's turn now?Mention, Tang Weizhi was extremely happy.
"When I was in Runan, I felt that Brother Tang, you are good at martial arts, but I didn't know..." Sun Yixie continued, "...are you willing to condescend to come to my West Lake retreat? , serve as our deputy, Mr. , "I can start working tomorrow... no... now! Master, if you have any instructions, just tell me. Tang will do his best." This guy is also thick-skinned when he should be thick-skinned, and he treats Sun Yixie The title changes at any time.
"Ha... don't worry, let's eat together first and chat for a while." At this time, Sun Yixie remembered something belatedly and grabbed one from the table. Chicken drumstick, while eating, he said, "I was just trying to ask you about it. You just said that I was an 'Eastern Harmony'... What's going on?"
