Chapter 44
Just when everyone was puzzled, Gu Erye, who had already discovered the problem and went out to inquire about the news, ran back panting.

Holding the wall to breathe, Gu Erye signaled Gu Xiaobei, Gu Datian and Gu Sanlin to enter the kitchen, closed the door and whispered, "A restaurant just opened nearby, and they also buy one get two free!"

"Oh my god! Buy one get two free? Are they crazy?" Everyone in the kitchen exclaimed immediately.

Gu Xiaobei hurriedly signaled them to keep their voices low, and everyone realized that they were too loud, and the guests outside might hear them, so they hurriedly covered their mouths.

No wonder they exclaimed, "buy one get two free" not only does not make money but also loses money!
Gu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes slightly, opening at this time, and trying to steal customers even if he lost money, this is clearly against her!Who is it?
"What should we do? Did we have no customers on the first day we opened? Will it be affected in the future?" Gu Erye walked around in the kitchen anxiously like ants on a hot pan.The others still looked anxious.

Gu Xiaobei thought for a while and said: "No, it is impossible for them to continue this kind of loss-making activities for a long time. When they stop, the number of customers will gradually decrease. At that time, customers will still like to eat delicious dishes and enjoy the food. Good service, and these two items, I believe our restaurant can do better than them.”

Everyone nodded, feeling that Gu Xiaobei's words were reasonable.

"But I bought a lot of ingredients today, and now that there are fewer customers, some of the remaining ingredients may be lost soon." Gu Sanlin said worriedly.

Gu Xiaobei said: "It's okay, I'll think of a way, everyone go get busy first."

There are still some guests eating, and everyone dare not delay any longer, and go to work separately.

Fortunately, there seems to be no good publicity there, and people continue to patronize Gu Xiaobei's restaurant one after another.

Seeing that he was not so busy, Gu Xiaobei greeted everyone, and asked Gu Erye the location of the newly opened restaurant, then went out and walked all the way to the newly opened restaurant, less than 200 meters away , Sure enough, I saw a newly opened restaurant called "Zhouji Restaurant", and there was an endless stream of people coming and going at the entrance of the restaurant.

Gu Xiaobei didn't approach, looked across the street, and saw Zhou Liang in the restaurant from a distance, directing the waiters to serve food and work.

It turned out to be a restaurant owned by Zhou Liang's family!There was a sneer at the corner of Gu Xiaobei's mouth. She remembered that Shangguan Shijin said that Zhou Liang's mother was his mother Bai He's younger sister. Shangguan Shijin would not lie. Right!
But why did Zhou Liang have such deep hostility with their brothers and sisters?Zhu Mei has a grudge against their siblings, but since the last time I saw that Zhou Liang didn't like Zhu Mei very much, it stands to reason that he wouldn't do business at a loss just to vent his anger on Zhu Mei's family, so what made Zhou Liang treat his siblings like this? Right?

The Zhou family can be regarded as one of the wealthy households in Ziyuan County. Most people know where their home is. Thinking about it this way, Gu Xiaobei, full of doubts, stopped a passerby to ask where the Zhou family’s mansion lived. The location of the mansion.

Gu Xiaobei walked all the way to the front of Zhou's mansion according to the route told by passers-by, but instead of going in, he turned around and walked into a pastry shop next to him.

The dim sum shop was run by a couple. Gu Xiaobei bought a few boxes of dim sum with money, and casually said to the proprietress: "Auntie, it seems that a lot of things have happened to the Zhou family next door recently?"

"That's right. A few days ago, the eldest son with a disability just brought up his concubine's room, and asked a few servants to come to my place to order some snacks to go back to honor the new aunt. Mrs. Tuesday was very happy and said that the new aunt would have breakfast every day." She gave birth to a grandson, but although the second lady married into the Zhou family, she was an heir. The eldest son she gave birth to was still a disabled man. It was also heard that one of her sisters had eloped with someone. Because of these two things, the sisters-in-law often Laughing at Mrs. Tuesday." The landlady went on and on.

"Old lady, don't talk nonsense all day long." The boss yelled in displeasure, the lady boss immediately silenced, handed the packed snacks to Gu Xiaobei, and refused to speak again.

Gu Xiaobei's complexion darkened. Zhu Mei really had a good plan. Not only was she not kicked out of the Zhou family, but she also became a concubine with the eldest son of the Zhou family. In addition to the matter of Bai He, it was no wonder that Zhou Liang knew that the two were relatives. , the hostility towards their brothers and sisters deepened, and they even opened restaurants to oppose them.

After paying the money, Gu Xiaobei came out with a few packs of snacks and walked towards his own restaurant. As soon as he reached the door, several carriages suddenly stopped beside him. The curtain of the carriage at the front was lifted, and Shangguan Shijin, who was dressed in a blue robe and handsome, stepped out. The carriage looked at Gu Xiaobei with a gentle smile: "Congratulations on opening!"

"Congratulations!" Gu Xiaobei said quickly, he was taken aback after speaking, and then smiled at Shangguan Shijin, isn't it the same congratulations?He also has a share in this restaurant, although the proportion is relatively small.

The following young masters dressed in brocade clothes got off their carriages one after another. These people are outstanding talents, with outstanding looks and even first-class temperament.

One of them, a young man with a baby face in a moon white brocade gown, looked at Shangguan Shijin and said, "Shangguan, is this the restaurant you are talking about? It doesn't seem very big."

Gu Xiaobei immediately understood that it was Shangguan Shijin who got the news, and came to help her solicit customers, and smiled slightly: "The biggest restaurant may not be the best, the key is whether the food inside is delicious enough."

"Couldn't it be, Huangfutang, are you here to see the scenery or to eat?" the stronger-looking Young Master Yin Shan teased.

"Nangong Ning, you just like to argue with me!" Huangfutang snorted and continued: "Of course I'm here for dinner, Shangguan, why don't you quickly introduce us to the boss?"

Shangguan Shijin smiled slightly: "Isn't the boss right in front of you?"

"Where?" Huangfutang looked left and right, up and down, but he couldn't see anyone who looked like the boss.

"Huangfu, don't you think people are inferior again?" A fair-faced and polite young man in a crimson shirt gave Huangfutang a sideways glance, walked up to Gu Xiaobei and smiled slightly: "This must be the boss, Ouyang Qi."

"Hello, young master, the young lady is one of the bosses of the 'Brothers and Sisters Restaurant', all gentlemen, please!" Gu Xiaobei gently gestured to please, neither humble nor overbearing.

The young masters all had strange looks in their eyes, they didn't expect this girl to have such an eye-catching aura, and then they all smiled in their hearts, it's just a little girl.

"Haha, Huangfu, aren't you treating me today? The food in this restaurant is delicious but not cheap. You are going to bleed profusely today!" Shangguan Shijin couldn't help laughing when he saw that the young masters were all stunned.

Gu Xiaobei raised his eyes in surprise, he didn't expect Shangguan Shijin to have such a hearty side.

"I don't have a lot of anything, but I have a lot of money!" Huangfutang said proudly, took the lead into the restaurant, and waved his hand: "Boss, serve a few more dishes of all the good dishes you have here!"
