On the last day before the exam, unlike the relaxation of the previous two days, Zhang Erlang didn't go out again, stayed in the yard, read a book quietly for a day, and Chen Nianguan and others didn't bother him.

Because there are so many students in Prefecture City, the number of diners visiting Chenjia Pho Restaurant has also increased a lot of students these days.

Not only is hor fun a new thing in Prefecture City, but roast duck, sauced pork and char siu are all new foods, attracting many wealthy students to try it.

Chen Nianguan was smiling.

Not bad, people who have always been able to read books are generally richer than ordinary people, and they come from more than a dozen different counties under the jurisdiction of the Prefecture City, which is very suitable for spreading word of mouth!

It seems that I opened a pho shop before I tried it in the government?????? It turned out to be a good move!

The west store is like this, so is the east store.

Chen Nianguan once wondered whether Mr. Zeng had considered this when he chose to open his shop at this time.

There was an uncle watching in front of the shop, and there were five waiters—one of them was brought by Liu He from Liujia Village to do the shopping together, and after the work was done, he came to the front to help temporarily.

Aunt Chen is not here today, it is Liu He who is in charge of the siu mei area together with Aunt Chen's daughter.

Chen Nianguan saw that they could handle it, so he went to the back kitchen to see if he could help.

Later, Liu Chi, his second aunt, Xiao You and another assistant were busy. When they saw Chen Nianguan coming in, they did not forget to say hello to her.

"Wan Wan!"

"cousin!"

"Boss!"

Chen Nianguan nodded, regaining the feeling of being a leader.

Seeing that Liu Chi and his second aunt were cooperating in an orderly manner, she went to work as a helper and work with Xiao You. By the way, she cared about the guys and asked how they were adapting.

As soon as she asked, Xiao You paused, pursed her mouth, and said, "It's okay!"

It seems that there is no need to do the work of welcoming and sending, and Mr. Xiao You can adapt to it!

Chen Nianguan understood and felt relieved.

Not long after she entered the back kitchen, a troublesome person came to the store, the local tyrant of Prefecture City, Kui Liuye.

Kui Liuye is a native of the area, and has been rooted here for generations. He is a well-known ruffian in the area of Xidian, and his job is to force the protection fee of the store.

As early as when the shop of the Chenjia Pho Shop was closed for renovation, have been paying attention to it.

Of course, Kui Liuye also depends on the person to collect the protection fee. For example, if there is a magistrate behind the shop, or a dignitary or something, naturally he would not dare to provoke it, but you must know that the shop is opened by ordinary passers-by, A, B, B, D, Ding, that is the gold master of his money.

To put it simply, he likes to bully the weak.

This kind of person is the kind of person who is hated by ordinary people without foundation or businessmen with insufficient background.

But there is no way, it's just that someone like Kui Liuye relies on the influence of the locals, and many times, he can only spend money to eliminate disasters.

At the beginning, Kui Liuye didn't know the details of this shop, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

The shop was not open, and don't know what it is for. After inquiring, found out that someone from Funing County came to Prefecture City to make a living, and don't know which family it was.The gangsters under his command said they only knew what the Chenjia Pho Shop was, and they brought a lot of guys to the street to perform lion dances and set off firecrackers, and they even gave away free food.

Kui Liuye didn't know what hor fun was, but he went to see their announcement the next day.

Tsk tsk, with that posture, Kui Liuye rubbed his hands together.

Look at how much food this shop has distributed for free, it looks like a rich owner, fat sheep, he has waited.

The Chenjia Pho shop was officially opened, and he also went to try it out. First, he received the free samples from his subordinates. He felt that it tasted good and fresh.It is reasonable to see how much the monthly protection fee is charged.

As for the owner behind this store, he also found out.

At first, heard that there was a pho shop with the same name in Dongcheng District. thought it was a big deal, but behind that shop was just a family named Zeng who had lost power long ago. There was no threat.Prefecture City works.

So after finding out the details, Kui Liu swaggered in with four or five gangsters today to formally harass and make trouble.

The little uncle has been a shopkeeper, and has traveled all over the world. He has a lot of knowledge, so he naturally knows how to read. When he saw this group of people approaching menacingly, he knew something was wrong, so he asked a guy to go to the back kitchen to write a letter to Chen Nianguan., with a smile on his face: "Kui Liuye, have you brought so many people to our business today? Are you helping our Chenjia Pho shop?"

Kui Liuye has been to the Chenjia Pho Shop a few times these days, and as the shopkeeper, the little uncle naturally remembered the faces of the regular customers, and heard others call him Kui Liuye, so he followed suit.

It's just that the opening business was too busy, and other negligence, didn't expect that Kui Liuye had bad intentions.

"Stop talking nonsense! Our Sixth Master is here to do business." Kui Liuye sat down in the shop loudly, two of the four gangsters he brought sat next to him, and the other two stood by the counter, watchingSeeing the little uncle, he slapped the ground.

The timid people in the store saw the situation was not good and left, only the brave ones avoided the side to watch the excitement, and the prosperous shop suddenly became deserted.

The shops in the commercial street outside are all experienced. Seeing that Kuiliu brought people to smash the scene, they also gathered outside the shops to watch the excitement.

There is no way, since the opening of the Chenjia Pho restaurant, the popularity has not stopped. It has attracted many diners from the nearby restaurant and lost a lot of business. Seeing that the Chen family is in trouble, I am gloating in my heart, very happy!

"What's the business?" Chen Nianguan, who heard from the back kitchen that an unknown person was looking for trouble, also came out at this time, saw the two guys in front of the counter, and his eyes fell on the sitting Kui Liuye.

She knew a long time ago that if she wanted to open a shop in a Prefecture City that she was not familiar with, sooner or later she would run into these rascals.

Wasn't it because she was worried about this that she came up with the idea of joining the shop and letting a partner from another place open it!

Unexpectedly, their store hadn't heard any news yet, and someone bullied and came to their store first.

"It's easy to say, if you open a shop on my sixth master's land, you will give our sixth master the filial money, so that your shop can be kept safe and sound."

"Give filial piety to this sixth master? Who is this sixth master?" Chen Nianguan didn't back down and asked directly.

"Who are you?"

"I am the owner of this shop. If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."

Kui Liuye turned his head and looked at Chen Nianguan.

Chen Nianguan is still dressed as a young man, but with red lips and white teeth, bright eyes and cherry lips, he looks like a lady at first glance.

Kui Liuye became very interested, squinted his eyes, and stared straight at her: "Master Chen, according to the rules, this shop of yours has to honor me and my brothers for a month, one hundred taels of silver."

The people in the shop fell silent and gasped.

One hundred taels, daylight robbery!

"If you don't pay, then your shop will never be able to open on my sixth master's site."

"I just want to ask, who made the rules for my pho shop to pay filial money to Liu Ye?" Chen Nianguan avoided answering, and asked, "In what capacity did Kui Liuye collect the money?"

"What identity? You don't know?" The gangster sneered, watching Chen Nianguan shake his head, and looked at Kui Liuye in embarrassment.

Kui Liuye's face darkened, "What identity? Master Chen will find out after he goes out and inquires."

"Okay." Chen Nianguan didn't talk nonsense, sat down opposite Kui Liuye, and said with a smile, "I'll ask someone to find out later, since Liu Ye said it's the rules, we're new here, so we have to follow the rules, so, this filial piety, we will pay."

Things are going so well?

Kui Liuye's face was soothed, and the bastard winked.

It seems that this Master Chen is very good!

Everyone in the store was in a hurry, and the little uncle called out in a low voice: "Niece Wan Wan?"

Chen Nianguan turned a deaf ear and still asked with a smile, "However, one hundred taels of silver is too much, and we can't afford it. I don't know if Kui Liuye can accept less for Peng's sake?"

"Peng's family?" The gangster laughed, and heckled each other: "May I ask which Peng's family it is?"

"There is no Peng family in our city? I don't know which Peng family it is?"

"Is it majestic? This Peng family?"

Chen Nianguan looked at the laughing hooligans, then looked at Kui Liuye who looked disdainful, and said helplessly, "It seems that I am ignorant. It turns out that the Peng family in the capital city is so inconspicuous in Chuzhou Prefecture!"

"Capital City? Which one?" The hooligans were still smiling, and Kui Liuye asked one more question.

"Peng Shang's calligrapher from the Ministry of War."

As soon as the title of the second-rank boss was uttered, the bastards fell silent, Kui Liuye was startled, staring at Chen Nianguan with a pair of eagle eyes, as if trying to tell the truth from the fake.

"Full of lies."

"I'm afraid it's not a banner to fool us."

The gangsters still scoffed coldly, but they were not as angry as before.

Yes, Chen Nianguan is pulling the flag, but it's not fooling around.

After all, Mr. Peng's family has already signed a contract with her. He is a partner with her, and it can also be said that he is the owner of the shares related to the interests of the Chen family shop.

As soon as he heard that someone came to find fault, Chen Nianguan was thinking quickly about the partners he had recruited, which one could be pulled out to control the situation, and after careful consideration, he decided to come out to the Lapen family.

I have no power or power, so I still understand by taking advantage of the situation.Since you want to borrow, then borrow the most powerful one.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to Funing County to find out. Our Chenjia Pho shop in Funing County is next to Taoran Tea House!" Chen Nianguan said, "You can ask, who is the owner of Taoran Tea House?What's the relationship with our Chenjia Pho shop?"

"Taoran Tea House, who is the owner?"

"It's the nephew of Peng Shangshu's family." Chen Nianguan explained frankly, "This matter is also the same as Kui Liuye's identity, and it will be clear after inquiring. Speaking of Kui Liuye, you may not know that the Peng family is our Chen family rice noodlesOne of the owners of the shop!"

One of the partners can also be regarded as the owner.

Seeing that Kui Liuye stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something, Chen Nian smiled: "We don't want to break Kui Liuye's rules, but one hundred taels is too much for this shop, I can't afford it, can you lower it as appropriate?"a little?"

Kui Liuye fell silent, and the gangsters didn't dare to make a sound.

"Or, the face of the Peng family is not enough to make Kui Liuye take a step back. Does Kui Liuye look at the face of the Fan family?" Chen Nianguan saw that they showed no sign of letting go, and added another fire.

"The Fan family?"

"Hmm, have you heard of the Fan family in Funing County? Master Fan Shan of Qingyun Academy, do you know? With the Peng family, who is the in-law?" Chen Nianguan was not guilty at all.

Kui Liuye frowned: "What? Fan Shanzhang has something to do with you????? Chenjia Pho Shop?"
