Chapter 158 I won't sell to Tian 2, no matter who I sell to.
That day, the Baishi Teahouse was empty of customers early on.
Tian Tian dismissed all the shop assistants and cooks from work.
He and his family sat in the shop, the door ajar...
The area in the direction of Fulai Restaurant remains bustling with activity.
"Business is booming at Fu Lai Restaurant today..." Liu San Niang muttered, leaning against the doorway.
Lu Tao looked up, her eyes filled with worry...
Although Tian Tian cooperated with the Qian family and remembered Qin Youyou's name, Qin Youyou only accounted for one-third of the business.
Third Sister...
“Third Sister…” Lu Tao walked up behind Liu Third Sister, about to say something.
Then Liu San Niang turned around and looked at Lu Tao with great gratitude.
Lu Tao was slightly surprised...
Tears welled in Liu San Niang's eyes. "Sister Lu, Tian Tian is so good to us, mother and daughter..."
"With Fulai Restaurant doing so well, she actually gave Youyou 30%..."
“I know this child is raising money for Youyou’s dowry.”
She even taught Youyou how to do business...
Lu Tao blinked. "You don't think it's enough?"
Liu San Niang raised her head in surprise, "Young?"
"How could it be too little?" She held up three fingers. "Sweetie only got 40% in total, and 30% of that went to Youyou. Is that too little?"
"My Youyou didn't do anything..."
Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her say that.
The two turned to look at the three sisters sitting at a table.
The three of them, not knowing what they were saying, held hands and laughed so hard they were bent over.
They are not blood sisters, but they are closer than blood sisters.
"Tian Er!" The shop's half-closed door was kicked open, and Qian Fulai rushed in.
"Godmother, Aunt Liu..." Qian Fulai caught his breath after seeing who was behind the door.
Tian Tian and the others stood up. "How was it?"
"Business is very good today, three times that of yesterday, totaling more than three hundred taels."
"So many!!!" Everyone except Tian Tian exclaimed in unison.
The turnover of Baishi Teahouse has stabilized, at around 300 taels a day. With the sale of gift boxes, it is about 400 taels.
Fulai Restaurant previously charged around one hundred taels of silver, but today the price has tripled.
"It's not over yet," Qian Fulai said.
It's already past midnight. In the past, he would have gone home to wash up and go to bed by this time. He's already had these dreams twice already.
But now...
Customers continued to arrive at the restaurant, saying they couldn't get a table during the day, so they came at night instead.
"Godmother, Aunt Liu... Eldest sister, second sister, youngest sister... You should go back early, don't wait up for me."
"I have to go to the county school tomorrow."
Qian Fulai really didn't know when the restaurant would close today. "I'll tell you the result first thing tomorrow morning."
"Alright." Lu Tao glanced at Tian Jinghe, who was practicing calligraphy.
This child is quite focused.

"We won't sell! We won't sell!!" Chang Baiwei angrily kicked away the stool beside him and shouted at the brokerage manager, "Manager, please leave."
The brokerage shop manager stood up awkwardly, "Young Master Chang, what do you think of your shop..."
He looked around...
Apart from the waiters, there wasn't a single customer in Baiwei Restaurant.
The guys were bored, some standing, some squatting, some spacing out... basically, they had nothing to do.
The white cloth used to wipe the table was cleaner than his own face.
"We don't have a single customer. Isn't this just a waste of money?"
Chang Baiwei, hands on his hips, squinted, "Who exactly wants to buy our Baiwei Restaurant?"
The broker's smile froze for a moment. "Young Master Chang, what does it matter who wants to buy...?"
"As long as the price is fair, isn't that enough?"
Chang Baiwei snorted, "Since the shopkeeper is unwilling to say, there's no need to talk anymore. Please."
The brokerage manager sighed helplessly, "Alright, young master, you'll have to think about it some more."
"Nowadays, Baishi Teahouse is constantly introducing new dishes, and Fulai Restaurant has added many new menu items. If this continues, it will be very difficult for Baiwei Restaurant to turn things around."
"Instead of stubbornly holding on, we might as well sell the shop..."
Chang Baiwei frowned, then suddenly his IQ skyrocketed, "The one who wants to buy my shop...could it be that Tian Er?"
The brokerage manager was surprised that he had guessed it. He paused for a moment, feeling guilty, which made Chang Baiwei even more certain.
"Hmph!" Chang Baiwei roared, "I'd sell to anyone but Tian Er!!"
"Shopkeeper, you're just relaying my words to her like this!"
The brokerage manager helplessly shrugged, "Young Master Chang, why are you doing this?"
"Miss Tian Er really wanted to buy your shop. She knew your family's situation, but she didn't try to lower the price by even a penny..."
Chang Baiwei waved his hand abruptly, "Should I thank her?!"
"If it weren't for her coming up with these strange and wonderful things, how could my Baiwei Restaurant have fallen to its current state?"
Of the three restaurants back then, his Baiwei Restaurant, even if it wasn't number one, was definitely number two.
result! !
It's all because of this Tian Er!!
His family's restaurant has now become the worst-performing business in Baishi County!
In fact, during this period, it wasn't just brokers who came to inquire about selling their shops; merchants from other places also asked.
But the other merchants wanted to start a trading company.
And Tian Er...
Without a doubt, she'll still be running a restaurant.
Chang Baiwei exhaled a breath of resentment. He would rather sell it to other merchants and let them do whatever business they wanted than sell it to Tian Er to be used as a restaurant.
If Tian Er's restaurant continues to thrive, wouldn't that further prove that the Chang family is useless?
Thinking of this, Chang Baiwei emphasized again, "I would never sell to Tian Er, no matter who I sell to!!"
His eyes blazed with fury, his expression fierce, and his teeth clenched so tightly they were grinding together. "I refuse to believe her business can stay this good forever!"

"Who would I sell it to?! I wouldn't sell it to Tian Er!" Tian Tian repeated this sentence...
The brokerage manager nodded, "That's right. I don't know how he guessed it. I didn't reveal a word of it."
"Second Miss, Chang Baiwei is so insistent, it seems unlikely that you will be able to buy his shop."
He told her everything he knew, “However, recently some businessmen have asked me how much a shop like Baiwei Restaurant is worth.”
"And I've also heard that some businessmen have approached the Chang family directly wanting to buy their shops."
"However, their prices are... relatively low, so the Chang family has not budged on their offer."
Tian Tian nodded knowingly, "Thank you, shopkeeper."
"I would appreciate it if you could continue to keep an eye on things for me, shopkeeper."
She took out a purse and handed it to him, saying, "Notify me immediately if there's any news."
"If this deal goes through, I will definitely express my sincere gratitude."
The brokerage shopkeeper gently weighed the purse in his hand; it should contain about twenty taels.
Miss Tian is so generous! She gave me such a big purse before the business deal was even finalized.
The brokerage shopkeeper carefully put away his purse. "Second Miss, I noticed that Chang Baiwei looks ruthless. You should be careful."
