After traveling back, I became a group favorite

Chapter 174. Chapter 174.

"Then how could..."

Gu Qingjiu hesitated, but didn't say everything.

But Granny Jiang still understood what she wanted to say, and shook her head helplessly:
"Originally, there were still some regular customers in this store...but now they have all gone to another store."

"Another store?"

Gu Qingjiu had a vaguely familiar and bad premonition in his heart.

"About a week ago, a new snack street suddenly opened in front of me for some reason. The food on the snack street is cheap and varied, and it has attracted all my customers away..."

Grandma Jiang couldn't help sighing while speaking:
"After the absence of those customers, now my business is only taken care of by the nearby student union."

Gu Qingjiu recalled the scene when he first arrived here. Those children looked like they were only in the third or fourth grade. With their consumption level...:
"Then those children just now...are they also here to buy things?"

"Ah? You're talking about them..." Granny Jiang was stunned for a second or two before realizing it. When they were mentioned, a kind smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"They are not. I cook in the restaurant every day, and there are always some extra ingredients, so I make some snacks in different ways every day, and give them to the elementary school students in the vicinity."

"The people who are still willing to visit me now are mostly middle and high school students from nearby schools. They will come out for lunch or something."

"So it's like this..." Gu Qingjiu remembered that she heard those children shouting at the beginning, want to eat this today, and want to eat that tomorrow... So that's what it meant.

"But if you send it like this every day, wouldn't you be losing money?"

"Damn, how much can a few babies eat," Granny Jiang mentioned them, with kindness in her eyes:

"I was born in the country, and I didn't study much. Whenever I see these little dolls, I can always think back to my past self..."

It would be great if someone could help her former self like her back then.

As if recalling some unpleasant memories, Granny Jiang's smile dimmed a bit.

"Hey, let's not mention this...Girl, you haven't told me what you are here for?" Granny Jiang swept away the original gloom, and took Gu Qingjiu's hand.

"Aunt Jiang, it's like this..." Gu Qingjiu told Granny Jiang about everything from the time she was about to hold a clothing exhibition to the time when her golden belt was stolen.

Hearing this, Grandma Jiang couldn't recover from her senses for a long time, and in the end, she could only sigh: "Jiang Zhe, silly boy..."

How could you not tell her that such a big thing happened?

Then she patted Gu Qingjiu's hand boldly:

"Girl, you need the Glazed Stone, right? Come get it with me—"

Before she could finish her sentence, the door of the shop was broken by a clanging sound.

A few gangsters stepped in, and the leader shouted loudly:

"Is there anyone in charge, come out!"

Granny Jiang was agitated by this sudden behavior, Gu Qingjiu reacted immediately, patted her hand to calm her down, then got up, protected Granny Jiang behind her, faced the gangster leader and said:
"Excuse me, how many people are here, what's the matter?"

"If it's for dinner, the sign outside the store has clearly hung up, and the word "closed business" is clearly written on it. If it's for other things, then I won't send it away."

The gangster looked Gu Qingjiu up and down with obscene eyes, whistled at her, then gave her a knowing glance with the gangsters behind, turned his head and looked at Gu Qingjiu again, with a serious look on his face. Wretched smile:
"Yo, didn't expect there is a little beauty here?"

Gu Qingjiu frowned, looked at their teasing coldly, and didn't respond.

The gangster thought that Gu Qingjiu was afraid, and walked a few steps in front of her in a way that her relatives did not recognize:
"Don't be afraid, little beauties, brother and we are here today to make trouble, and then you obediently listen to our brothers, and I promise not to hurt you."

Even though Granny Jiang was still in shock, she understood that they were trying to harm the girl. Even though her heart was about to jump into her throat, she still tremblingly tried to protect Gu Qingjiu behind her:

"Girl, don't be afraid, you bastards who are neither serious nor serious... bully me as an old man to open a shop, don't you know who my son is?"

Several punks looked at each other, and they all laughed and said:

"I know, isn't it Jiang Zhe from Wubai Martial Arts Academy! But so what?"

Those who are on the street, more or less have some contacts in the black market, so they naturally know that people who can open shops in the black market are not easy to mess with.

From the first day Jiang Zhe took over the store, he had already taught them a bunch of gangsters in the neighborhood, in order to make them afraid to trouble Granny Jiang.

But today is different from the past, they received money to do things, even if Jiang Zhe from the black market ended up in person, he might not be able to match the status of the gold master who hired them.

With the backing behind them, these little bastards are naturally confident, not to mention they were beaten up by Jiang Zhe once, so naturally they are revenge with resentment and revenge.

The higher-ups ordered them to close down all the nearby restaurants, so they would naturally come to Jiang Zhe's family who had made enemies with them first.

"Grandma, you can't blame us for this," the leader saw that the other party was an old man, and was afraid of making a move. When the other party got excited, he was sent to the hospital, so he could only coax him in a good voice: "If you want to blame, you can only blame your store for not being in the right place and offending a big shot. Now that big shot pays us to clear the shop, what do you say—what should we do?"

Gu Qingjiu grasped the key words in his sentence.

It's not a place to open...the big shots pay for it...

Since they said so, it must be the person who hired them, who wanted to clear all the competing stores in the vicinity. Without competition, a monopoly would be achieved.

Then who would regard a humble small restaurant as an opponent?

Gu Qingjiu looked at the direction of the food street that Granny Jiang had just mentioned.

It so happened that these talents came not long after the food street opened, and it was hard not to think of them together.

However, the current troubles still need to be solved.

Faced with this group of hooligans, Granny Jiang's nerves were tense, so she naturally didn't have time to think about these things, but when she saw Gu Qingjiu looking in the direction of the food street, she immediately had some thoughts in her mind.

"Hmph, tell the person behind you that there are no customers in my store now, and they are all attracted by the food street in front. They are not a threat to you at all, so why do you want to kill us all?"
