The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 323
[Chapter 323 A conscientious businessman]
At this time, troublemakers suddenly appeared.
The shopkeeper didn’t know what he thought of, and walked out of the fireworks shop with a gloomy look on his face.
As soon as I walked out of the fireworks shop, I heard a burst of noisy discussion outside.
Looking up, I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a beggar kneeling on the ground, dripping with runny nose and crying and didn’t know what he was talking about.
Next to him, there were more than a dozen strong men standing. Just by glancing at them, he knew that they must be the servants of some wealthy families who were looking after the homes and courtyards.
Because the middle-aged man dressed as a beggar cried so miserably that he attracted a large number of passers-by to watch.
Today, Gujing Street in the south of the city is already the most prosperous area in the entire capital. There is a huge flow of passengers every day, and there is an endless stream of passers-by.
Although the location of the Fireworks Shop on Gujing Street is not the most central, it is not that remote either. Therefore, in just a short while, onlookers surrounded the entire Fireworks Shop, one level inside and one outside.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper took a deep breath, then, with a warm smile on his face, he took a step forward.
These people seemed to have been prepared for it. Although the shopkeeper had never seen them before, they recognized him.
Especially when the beggar kneeling on the ground saw the shopkeeper, he stopped and looked at him with a pair of resentful eyes. Then, he suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at him, and said loudly: “That’s him, their fireworks. I’m injured like this!
Moreover, they don’t accept the payment and are not willing to pay any money. Even the doctor’s medicine fee is my own!”
When everyone heard this, they started talking.
If they were placed in other places and heard this person’s accusation, they would have already pointed their finger at the Fireworks Shop.
But
they knew in their hearts that this fireworks shop was the property of Fang Mansion.
If we talk about which shops in the capital can be called conscientious, these ones in Fang Mansion can definitely be ranked high.
Although the queue time is a bit longer and the price is a bit more expensive, the quality of the products and the service attitude are all one level ahead of other shops in the capital.
They cannot be treated as equals at all.
Moreover, if something happens, whether it is compensation or apology, it is all very straightforward.
For example, some time ago, a person ate a hair while eating at Chunfenglou.
In other restaurants, this is not a big deal at all.
Cooks are also human beings, and their body, hair, and skin are affected by their parents. Of course they have hair. If there is hair, it may fall, and if it falls, it may fall into the food.
This is inevitable.
When most diners encounter this kind of thing, they will just make a joke or ask the store to add an extra side dish, and nothing will happen.
However, I happened to meet a poor scholar who was famous for his seriousness from all over the country, and I decided to make a fuss about it.
In the lobby of Chunfeng Building, he criticized the shopkeeper and the chef, and even quoted scriptures.
In this situation, if it were other restaurants, especially restaurants with distinguished backgrounds.
No need to think too much, he must have treated him as a troublemaker without saying anything and beat him up with a stick.
However, the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Restaurant called the chef over from the back kitchen, apologized to the diner together, and then made a new dish with a side dish.
Even if the poor scholar saw this attitude, he wouldn’t be able to say anything.
As the saying goes: you can see the whole leopard by looking at one spot.
From this we can see what Fang Mansion’s industry looks like.
Therefore, passers-by who knew a little bit about the Fireworks Shop and knew that it was the property of the Fang Mansion did not easily believe the beggar’s words.
The beggar cried so hard that his mouth was dry. He thought it would resonate with the passers-by around him and speak out together to accuse the shopkeeper of the fireworks shop.
But the result was different from what he imagined.
These people did not blame the shopkeeper of the fireworks shop. Instead, they focused more on themselves and commented on his clothes and image.
Hearing the discussion in his ears, he felt as if he had been greatly insulted. He gritted his teeth, stared at the shopkeeper in front of him with a pair of eyes, and said loudly: “Small businessman, you must be responsible for me!”
The shopkeeper When she walked up to him, she ignored what he said before and just asked lightly: “Who sent you here?”
His voice was not loud, but among these discussions, he had a stronger voice. penetrating power.
After hearing this, the onlookers all looked astonished.
“Let me just say, I bought the fireworks from this fireworks shop once. They were very safe throughout the process. How could it hurt anyone? It turns out they were sent by someone else.”
“This brother can actually afford fireworks?”
” Hey, it’s the birthday of a child at home, and I can’t afford to rent a No. 7 kite, so I can only buy some fireworks and set them off, as long as the child is happy.”
“”
When the beggar heard these words, his face turned blue and white, but he gritted his teeth and looked at The shopkeeper shouted: “I don’t know what you are talking about!
I only know that your fireworks hurt me.”
At this point, he took off his shabby clothes, revealing a variety of different sizes. The wounds, seen from a distance, are shocking.
“This is the evidence!”
The beggar pointed at the wounds on his body and shouted loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent for a moment.
Because there were so many wounds on his body, it made people feel frightened.
Even the shopkeeper of the fireworks shop was in a daze for a moment when he saw this scene, and began to doubt whether what this person said was true.
But
since the opening of the Fireworks Shop, he has been staying here and never left.
He kept in mind how many fireworks he sold, who bought them, and what model they bought.
In his impression, there was absolutely no such person who had ever bought fireworks at the Fireworks Shop.
Since I have never bought one, how can I say that I was injured by fireworks?
The shopkeeper looked at the scars all over the beggar’s body, frowned slightly, but still did not respond directly, and asked another question: “When did you buy the fireworks at the fireworks shop?”
The beggar blurted out without thinking: ” Seven days ago!”
“What model?”
“No. 3 fireworks!” When the shopkeeper heard this,
he
smiled and said lightly: “Since the fireworks shop opened, we haven’t sold any No. 3 fireworks.
He was injured by Fireworks No. 3, so that proves that the fireworks were not from our Fireworks Shop, but maybe from another shop. You remembered wrongly.”
Hearing this, the beggar had a look of confusion on his face, and then looked back at the hidden place behind him. Several strong men in the crowd also looked suspicious when they saw them.
He raised his eyes, looked at the shopkeeper, and changed his words: “I remembered wrongly. I bought No. 5 fireworks, not No. 3.”
