Chapter 288: Rescue in the Alley
You must be kidding! Who knows if what he said is true or not?
It would be good enough if I could recommend it to him truthfully, but how could I let my family take the risk?
The old man walked with a swift pace.
Gu Dajiang and the others looked at each other helplessly and laughed.
Next, they visited several houses one by one according to the directions given by the old man.
As a result, I visited both homes but didn't see anyone.
When he arrived at the third house, Gu Dajiang went up to knock on the door, and a woman's voice asked from inside, "Who is it?"
Hearing that it was a woman's voice, Gu Dajiang signaled Miao to come forward and respond.
Miao smiled and stepped forward and said, "Sister, we are the owner of Daohuaxiang. We want to discuss something with you. Can you open the door? Let's talk in person."
When the woman inside heard that there was also a woman outside, she opened the door half the width of her body, stuck her head out, and saw several people in luxurious clothes in front of her.
The woman asked doubtfully, "I don't know you guys?"
Miao then introduced the identities of Gu Dajiang, Gu Ji and others, and explained to the woman in detail the purpose of their visit.
"I've heard people mention many times that the sister-in-law of this family is a capable one, so I'm taking the liberty to come and disturb you today. I hope you can forgive me for any inconvenience this may cause." Miao said with a sincere and enthusiastic smile.
The woman saw that although the men were dressed in luxurious clothes, they were friendly in their attitude. Then she opened the door and welcomed them in.
What the woman didn't say was that she had heard a few days ago that the owner of Daohuaxiang was teaching people how to make delicious food for free.
But the news circulating on the street was all bad, so she didn't dare to believe it easily.
But she loves food, and she also wants to find a stable livelihood for her family.
In fact, she has been hesitating these days whether to go and learn.
She has been discussing it with the head of the family, but he won't let her go because he is afraid that she will be cheated.
Unexpectedly, the owner of Daohuaxiang actually came to my door in person.
She wanted to hear what the boss had to say. After all, she was in her own home, how could they cheat her?
When everyone arrived at the courtyard, the woman asked them to sit down: "The courtyard is simple, with only a few benches. Please don't be disgusted."
Miao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite, and you don't have to call us nobles. We are just ordinary farmers. May I ask what your name is, elder sister?"
The woman said somewhat stiffly, "They all call me Sister Liu. You can also call me Sister Liu."
"Okay, Sister Liu, you take a seat too." Miao greeted with a smile.
Gu Dajiang and his companions sat down on the bench without hesitation.
Miao then instructed Zhiying to place the snacks on the wooden table in the yard.
He greeted her, "Sister Liu, you can try it first. These are the snacks we are going to teach people how to make, so that they can be sold on the street. Try them first and see if they suit your taste."
Seeing the food on the table soon, Mrs. Liu asked in shock, "Are you really free professors?"
"Yes, in order to fulfill the wish my grandfather made in front of the Buddha, we teach for free." Miao said affirmatively.
"You won't ask us to sign a contract to sell ourselves, will you?" asked Mrs. Liu.
"Don't worry, Sister Liu, our cooperation is just that we teach you the recipe, and after you learn it, you can sell it on the street of our shopping mall, so that our customers can buy it at any time.
Of course, we will also formulate regulations and need to follow our system. The food must be fresh and clean, and we must not cheat customers or have conflicts with customers.
If you are willing to abide by these, you can set up a stall downstairs in our shopping mall.
All the money you earn is yours, we won't charge you a penny, and in the first month, we can sell you the food on credit, and when you make money, you can pay us back." Miao explained to Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu was even more surprised when she heard this. Everything the landlady said was good news for them.
They are all ordinary people. It is a great honor for them to be able to make money. How dare they cheat customers or have conflicts with them?
Those who sell food must ensure that it is clean and fresh. Otherwise, if someone gets sick from the food, they will be sued. They are just ordinary people, how dare they do that!
Although she usually likes to cook, and her cooking skills are the best in this alley, it is far from being able to sell. After seeing what the Gu family brought out today, she couldn't compare to what she made.
In addition to worrying about not doing a good job, another reason is that even if they do, there is no place for them to sell them.
If you sell them at the morning market, you will get a lot of protection fees in private, so there is no profit to be made.
Now, as long as we cooperate with the Gu family, these two problems can be solved.
Mrs. Liu was very excited for a moment.
But in the end, Sister Liu still hesitated and asked: "My dear lords, can you allow me to discuss with my family before making a decision?"
"It's okay. You can discuss it and leave these things here, or let your family taste them. If you have agreed to make them, just come to Daohuaxiang to find us." Miao said with a smile.
"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much for your understanding!" Mrs. Liu bowed repeatedly in gratitude.
"You don't have to be polite, Madam Liu. You go ahead and do your work. We'll leave first." After saying this, they stood up and said goodbye.
Sister Liu walked her to the door. Miao said, "Sister Liu, please stay. We will go look somewhere else."
Several people left Mrs. Liu's house and continued to go to the next house. After explaining their purpose, they were directly rejected.
Several people were speechless...
Just as the few people were about to leave here and passed through an alley, they heard the sounds of fists and kicks.
A few steps walked to the entrance of the alley, and saw several thugs in the alley punching and kicking two half-grown children.
Gu Dajiang shouted sternly: "What are you doing?!"
When the hooligans saw someone coming, they kicked the two people who were curled up on the ground, then turned around angrily and ran away from the other end of the alley.
Gu Dajiang and Gu Ji had no intention of chasing after them, and hurried forward to help the two boys up from the ground, one on each side.
Gu Dajiang asked with concern: "What happened to you? How did you provoke those thugs?"
After the two boys sat down firmly, they shrank their bodies, avoiding the touch of Gu Dajiang and the other man, with a look of alertness on their faces.
The older boy spoke up, "Thank you for your help, gentlemen. We won't be in the way."
Seeing that the two boys were unwilling to talk more, Gu Dajiang did not ask any more questions and only said, "Do you live in this alley? Do you need me to send someone to take you back?"
"Thank you, sir. It's not necessary. We can go back by ourselves after we have a rest."
Gu Dajiang nodded, and seeing that the two boys were old enough to work, he said to them, "I am the owner of Daohuaxiang, and we are now teaching people how to make snacks for free.
I think you two are of the right age, are you interested in coming to our Daohuaxiang to learn how to make delicious food, so that you can find a stable livelihood for yourself?"
Before the older boy could answer, the younger one shouted, "Are you the rich man who wants to trick people into selling their bodies?!"
