Chapter 117: Shop Opening and Trouble
Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the man who was about to hide his face and flee, and said with a smile: "Sir, we meet again."
Xu Zimo smiled dryly: "Hey, isn't this the young lady of the He Mansion? I hope you are well!"
"I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do, so I'll take my leave first." Xu Zimo quickly turned around and left.
After he left, Shang Ruoyi looked at Qian Niang and said, "Sister, I have some things to do in the shop, so I'll leave first."
As soon as I arrived at the shop, I saw a few servants coming towards me carrying a plaque with the words "Life is like a dream" written in vermilion and gold.
The pen and ink are unintentional, but the style is fully revealed on the white paper.
She had seen He Jingheng's calligraphy before, and even though she had seen calligraphy and paintings by so many famous calligraphers, she was still dazzled by it.
She mentioned to him a few days ago that she wanted him to write a plaque, and she didn't expect it to be delivered today.
"Hang it up!"
"okay!"
The news that the He family's shop was about to open soon reached Zhao Junyi's ears.
"I didn't expect them to be so quick." He frowned and said sinisterly, "How dare they plot against me in secret? Just wait and see!"
"What do adults need from small people?"
Zhao Junyi waved at him and whispered something to him.
"My Lord, just wait and see!"
As soon as the servant left, a woman walked out from the shadows.
Zhao Junyi was startled.
"You are······"
"You useless thing. You haven't accomplished what the master asked you to do yet. What's the point of keeping you here?" The woman was wearing a veil, but from her exposed eyes, one could tell that she was an exotic woman.
Seeing this, Zhao Junyi quickly stood up from his chair and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency the Envoy."
"Humph." The woman stepped forward, stretched out her hand and grabbed his neck: "Useless people don't deserve to live in this world."
“Cough, cough, cough.” Zhao Junyi’s face flushed, his breathing was difficult, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with difficulty: “Emissary, give me another chance.”
Just when he was about to die, the woman slowly loosened her hand.
Zhao Junyi fell to the ground, holding his neck and retching.
"This is the last time. If you can't do it again, I will send you directly to see the King of Hell." As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound of the window, and the woman's figure slowly disappeared into the night.
He sat on the ground powerlessly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Finally, the day of the opening of Fu Sheng Ru Meng arrived.
There were people queuing at the door early in the morning.
This is made from cow's milk, which is a precious thing that cannot be eaten casually.
Even if it cost only one or two taels of silver, I would definitely buy a cup, not to mention that they also gave me such beautiful glass cups and snacks.
Shaoyao opened the door and was shocked to see so many people standing at the door.
"Girl, your Fu Sheng Ru Meng shop is opening today, right?"
Shaoyao nodded: "That's right."
She didn't expect that for a drink that cost only one or two taels of silver per cup, there would be so many people queuing up. Her young lady was truly amazing.
At this time, Shang Ruoyi came out with He Yunyi and said with a smile: "Today we are opening Fu Sheng Ruo Meng. Thank you all for coming to support us. Customers who come into the store today will be given a snack regardless of whether they make a purchase or not."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
"Whether you buy anything or not, you can get a snack?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "That's right."
"The shopkeeper is trying to frame us."
"Whether what I said is true or not, you can find out when you come in and take a look."
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed in.
As soon as I entered, I was attracted by the rich milky aroma.
It smells more tempting than outside.
People who originally just wanted to get some pastries couldn't resist the taste of milk tea and took out their money to buy one.
In such cold weather, it is so comfortable to drink a cup of hot milk tea.
They couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a delicacy that only gods can eat!"
More and more people came upon hearing the noise, and soon the queue was a hundred meters long.
Many shop owners on the street saw this scene and were filled with envy.
"Sister-in-law." He Yunyi looked at the customers in the shop and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is too exaggerated."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "This is only the first day. There will be more and more guests in the future."
He Yunyi nodded. Yes, with such deliciousness, she wished she could drink it from morning to night, let alone others.
Just then, there was a commotion at the door.
"Did you see that? What happened to this guy?"
"Is it poisoned?"
"too frightening!"
Shang Ruoyi's lips curled slightly, she knew someone would come to cause trouble.
Just as he was about to go out to take a look, he heard a man's voice: "Boss of Fu Sheng Ru Meng, get out of here! The things in your shop are poisonous!"
poisonous?
When the people in the queue heard this, their expressions changed.
The things in the shop are poisonous, they must not buy them.
Shang Ruoyi walked out, stood on the steps, and looked down at the man who was shouting non-stop.
"Your Excellency, have you thought about the consequences of causing trouble in my Fu Sheng Ru Meng?"
When the man heard her say this, disdain flashed across his eyes.
"How dare you say such things? My brother got poisoned after eating something from your shop, what do you say?" The man snorted coldly and said, "I'm telling you, if you don't give us an explanation today, I'll take you to the authorities!"
"Explanation? What explanation do you want?" Shang Ruoyi walked down the steps and slowly walked to the man: "Tell me what you want to say."
"Five hundred taels! Give me an antidote for my brother's poison, or you can't keep this shop!" He glared, took a step forward, raised his fist, trying to scare her into submission.
Shang Ruoyi snorted coldly, reached out her hand, grabbed his arm, turned quickly, and threw the man to the ground with a clean and neat shoulder throw, raising a cloud of dust.
hiss······
This woman looks thin and weak, but I didn't expect she has so much strength and is so agile and nimble.
The man covered his chest and coughed for a while, then he stood up with the help of the wall. He pointed at Shang Ruoyi and said, "How dare you hit me!"
"Oh, what's wrong with hitting you? Didn't you hit me first?" Shang Ruoyi looked around: "Everyone is a witness. Even if the officials came, I would say the same thing. You are a grown man and you hit a weak woman like me. Don't you think I can't fight back?"
Everyone nodded when they heard her. They agreed with every word she said, except for one sentence, which they found difficult to agree with.
Weak woman······
She actually said that she was a weak woman.
It would be too scary if all the weak women in the world looked like her.
The man's face turned pale, but after seeing her skills, he knew he was no match for her and didn't dare to attack rashly. He winked at the people in the crowd, and then heard several voices from the crowd.
"I've never seen such a rude and domineering woman. The things in her shop were poisonous, but not only did she not apologize or compensate, she even dared to attack in the street. I've never heard of it before."
"That's right. Someone got sick eating at their shop on the first day. There must be something wrong with the food."
"Milk is so expensive, but she made it into snacks and gave it away for free. How could such a good thing happen? There must be something fishy going on."
