99: Chapter 98 Specialty Dishes_2 99: Chapter 98 Specialty Dishes_2 In less than two minutes, Bai Hongcai had been pelted into becoming the most hated rat crossing the street.
Seeing that Liu Hun had stabilized the situation, Bai Hongcai thought of slipping away, but Liu Hun grabbed him back in a swift move.
Liu Hun held Bai Hongcai and asked, “Director Bai, what exactly is the condition of Wanbao Village’s vegetables?
Shouldn’t you give everyone a statent, let everyone buy and eat with confidence?” He really needed Bai Hongcai to say it himself—Bai had to slap his own face.
With his head covered in rotten vegetable leaves and stinking eggs, Bai Hongcai just wanted to get back as soon as possible.
He quickly found an excuse to step down and said, “It was a misunderstanding!
It was our Cooperative that made the mistake!
The vegetables of Wanbao Village are fine, everyone can eat with peace of mind!”
“Scram!” Liu Hun told Bai Hongcai, stuffing a stinking sock in his mouth and then giving him a kick.
Accompanied by the laughter of the surrounding crowd, Bai Hongcai, protected by Ren Youtian and others, finally fled in a panic, and the now disreputed Cooperative imdiately closed its doors.
With the Cooperative’s doors closed, Liu Hun’s place opened up: gongs and drums beat, and the exclusive marketing model of Wanbao Village was set up.
Moreover, at the end, Liu Hun dropped a line: “Welco everyone to Wanbao Village to see, pick, and taste personally!”
With this act played by Liu Hun, the na of Wanbao Village imdiately exploded throughout the neighboring villages, and now almost everyone knew that once the gongs sounded, it ant Wanbao Village’s vegetables were ready.
Wanbao Village not only had good and fair-priced produce but also free shows—who wouldn’t want to buy from them?
Moreover, small vendors also flocked to Wanbao Village—the mont the vegetables in the fields ripened or the fruits on the trees turned red, they quickly waved their money to buy them all up.
As the saying goes, so are happy while others are sad; just as Liu Hun and Wanbao Village were thriving, Bai Hongcai had truly fallen into bad tis.
“What on earth has Liu Hun turned into?!
What on earth has he beco?!” Bai Hongcai slamd his hand on the table and asked Ren Youtian, still slling rancid, “For all these years, we had a rule, buying low from the left hand and selling high with the right hand, how co such a scourge ca out and ruined our business?!”
“Director Bai, could that kid really have turned into so kind of demon or spirit?” Ren Youtian asked Bai Hongcai, really pondering over this issue.
“Slap!
Slap!
Slap!” Bai Hongcai hit Ren Youtian a few tis with a file folder and said, “You start panting if I say you’re fat?
Idiot!
We need to think of sothing, we must take care of this kid, otherwise who will pee on our Cooperative in the future, what would we eat if no one urinates on us?”
Hearing this made it sound as if they were living off catching others’ pee, Ren Youtian thought to himself, but he ultimately didn’t dare to say it directly, only saying to Bai Hongcai, “Director Bai, what should we do now?
So many days have passed, and our Cooperative is getting worse each year.”
“Stop flaunting here!
What kind of nonsense are you talking?
Hurry up and think of a way to deal with this kid!” Bai Hongcai snapped at Ren Youtian, so unlucky he tried several tis to light a cigarette but failed.
“Right!
There’s a way!
There’s a way!” Ren Youtian suddenly thought of soone, banging the table before telling Bai Hongcai.
Scared by the bang, Bai Hongcai’s cigarette fell on the table, and after scolding Ren Youtian for a few sentences, he asked, “Who?!
Speak up!”
“Wang Tiankun!
This bastard used to be the successor eldest disciple of the Lin Family troupe, but after committing so beastly deeds, he was driven out by Lin Shanhu!
Now, he’s idling around like a loafer, but I heard he still has a few confidants in the opera troupe,” Ren Youtian said as he rubbed his bruised head.
Suddenly, Bai Hongcai’s eyes twisted like the sewage valve of a sewage plant, bad thoughts imdiately entered his mind, and then he said to Ren Youtian, “Hey!
That Ling guy just relies on the opera troupe to swindle and deceive, right?
If we bring down the opera troupe, let’s see what tricks he has left.
Don’t even ntion it, this really is a good card!
With this card, we could—play the landlord!”
Play the landlord?!
What does playing the landlord an?!
Ren Youtian pondered for a long ti but couldn’t grasp it, poor brain not made for thinking.
After discussing together, the two imdiately went to find the loafer Wang Tiankun; when the three t, it was like a match made in heaven!
Sitting down to discuss, a poisonous plan, like the fangs of a venomous snake, erged…
Over ti, Liu Hun’s sales plan really went smoothly.
Without Bai Hongcai’s exploitation and adulteration, the best and highest quality fruits and vegetables of Wanbao Village could reach everyone’s hands promptly.
In more distant places or when not coinciding with market gathering tis, it was the turn of the vendors who stocked from Wanbao Village to take the stage.
Overall, as days passed, Liu Hun earned not only money but also reputation.
That day, Liu Hun had just delivered a box of oranges to Ren Peiling and then returned to the Coming Clouds Restaurant.
As soon as he entered, he heard the noisy clamor inside.
“We can’t eat this al!
It’s definitely poisoned!
It must be soone with the surna Ling who’s behind this!” the disciple Li Gan said, slapping the table, and with a “smack,” he threw his bowl onto the floor.
“Hah!
It really is like a dog biting Lv Dongbin, not recognizing a good heart!
Liu Hun arranged for you to eat here, wanting to treat you well!
Your master is already unconscious, and instead of rushing him to the clinic, you’re here arguing with ?” Ying Nanhong retorted.
She was both anxious and angry, having prepared a table full of good food and drink to host the mbers of the opera troupe.
To her annoyance, Lin Shanhu had fainted not long after starting his al, and instead of seeking dical help, the troupe mbers had started accusing her of wrongdoing.
Lin ngi, holding her unconscious father, didn’t know what to do.
Having experienced Wang Tiankun’s betrayal, she distrusted everyone and beca even more indecisive due to her naturally indecisive character.
Li Tou thought Ying Nanhong’s words made sense.
He said to Lin ngi, “Senior sister, let’s just listen to Boss Ying.
If we delay, it could an trouble!”
“Senior sister!
Don’t listen to Li Tou and this woman!
Master must have been poisoned.
What can the clinic do about it?
Just let this woman hand over the antidote, and it’ll be settled!
Why bother with anything else?
Don’t you folks agree?” Li Gan incited the surrounding disciples.
Upon hearing this, the disciples thought there was sense in Li Gan’s words, and many voiced their agreent, leaving Lin ngi even more uncertain.
She didn’t believe Ying Nanhong was responsible, nor did she believe Liu Hun was behind it, yet she was still hesitant to make a decision.
“I say it wasn’t!” Liu Hun entered the restaurant at that mont.
Although he had heard only a few sentences, he had almost understood the ins and outs of the situation.
“Why should we believe it just because you say it wasn’t?” Li Gan glared at Liu Hun and challenged him.
“Shut up!” Liu Hun sternly glared back at Li Gan.
Li Gan shuddered, reluctantly shutting his mouth with a defiant toss of his head.
Liu Hun bent down and took the unconscious Lin Shanhu from Lin ngi’s arms and then laid Lin Shanhu on the chef’s bed in the inner room.
After a long wait outside, Lin ngi and the others finally saw Liu Hun walk out alone.
“How is my dad?” Lin ngi quickly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Hun to ask.
Liu Hun looked at Lin ngi and felt like he could sense a certain somber spirit around her, as if she had played too many roles onstage.
He patted the back of her hand and said, “Don’t worry, your dad…”
“Rest easy?
Rest easy leaving our master in the hands of this brute?”
A voice ca from the entrance of the restaurant.
The people inside turned their heads, and everyone opened their mouths in surprise.
“Eldest…
elder brother!” many disciples imdiately recognized the dapperly dressed Wang Tiankun.
“You bastard!
How dare you show your face here?” Li Tou glared coldly at Wang Tiankun.
Wang Tiankun looked at Li Tou with disdain and then turned his gaze to Lin ngi, saying, “Junior sister, I know what’s going on with today’s incident!”
