Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Finally, they confessed that they didn't have enough chicken and had to use leftovers instead.

Madam Jia remained silent with a dark expression. At this moment, she was so frightened that she trembled and hid.

"Alright, the facts and evidence are clear!"

The business administration officials said, "We are issuing you a notice to suspend business for three days for rectification, and we are also fining you 1000 yuan!"

"You must pay the fine within three days, improve your business operations, and then we will have to come and inspect you before you can reopen!"

"gone!"

The business administration personnel left a note and departed.

Before leaving, they even put a seal on the door.

He Yuzhu and the others could only enter and exit through the back door.

"Wow……"

After everyone had left, Jia Zhangshi burst into tears.

One thousand yuan!

The fine is 1,000 yuan, and the department will be ordered to rectify the situation for three days.

What a huge loss that must be!

She cried with heartache.

He Yuzhu said with a dark face, "Alright, stop crying, old man. I told you we couldn't do it this way, but look at you... you insisted on being better than me and even called me stupid."

"Now look what you've done, you're not stupid after all... Heh!"

Even if He Yuzhu was an idiot, he still got angry.

Qin Huairu also said angrily, "Mom, look at you, everything goes smoothly when you're not here, and we can handle anything, but as soon as you're home, things are bound to get chaotic!"

"You always come up with terrible ideas!"

"Can you please stop giving me advice in the future!"

Later, Xiao Dang and Huaihua also began to criticize Jia Zhangshi.

Qin Huairu didn't even consider that just two hours ago, it was who made the final decision to use leftovers as new dishes.

A three-day business suspension is no big deal!

A fine of 1,000 yuan is no big deal; it's just a few more days of work.

However, Qin Huairu never expected that the article would be published in the newspaper the next day, and in a major newspaper like the Dragon Kingdom Daily.

Although it didn't make it to the front page, it still had a significant impact on the secondary pages.

This caused her small shop to become known to everyone in an instant.

Even more reporters came to interview Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu the next day.

Throughout the entire Hongxing Road neighborhood, and in the hundreds of courtyard houses surrounding it, everyone knew about He Yuzhu's small shop.

The shop's business plummeted.

At first, He Yuzhu's business was quite good.

The door is like a city.

Based on using high-quality, top-grade ingredients, one can earn 100 yuan per day.

Later, Qin Huairu secretly changed the main ingredient.

Business isn't good, but making seventy or eighty yuan a day is still not a big problem.

it's good now!

Because of Jia Zhangshi's commotion, the Dragon Kingdom Daily published it.

Everyone around knows.

He Yuzhu's business became so deserted that it could be described as empty.

Or rather, there were almost no people.

After all, He Yuzhu's restaurant was a small eatery, attracting people from the surrounding area.

And now this matter has spread like wildfire.

After hearing about it, who would still go?

It doesn't really matter if the ingredients are just not good.

The problem is that you're feeding people leftovers.

"How could this be?"

On the fourth day after opening, looking at the empty shop, Qin Huairu felt heartbroken.

The fine has been paid!

The shop has been reorganized, and they've even started buying top-quality ingredients again, just like they did at the beginning.

But there was no one there.

Chapter 188 Jia Zhangshi angrily berates Lou Xiao'e

Who would have thought that a mere leftover dish could have such a huge impact?

There's no one here at noon!

There was no one there when we ate dinner in the evening.

We bought top-quality ingredients, but we didn't sell a single meal.

Qin Huairu was extremely sad.

On the other hand, Lou Xiao'e's restaurant across the street is doing better and better, with customers coming and going, and many cars parked inside.

Every time a guest leaves, Lou Xiao'e personally sees them off to the door.

Everyone praised the food at Lou Xiao'e's restaurant.

The Jia family members looked at Lou Xiao'e's restaurant through the glass, each harboring a sour resentment.

Madam Jia pouted and said, "It's all Lou Xiao'e's fault... If it weren't for their restaurant, would our business be so bad?"

He Yuzhu coldly replied, "What does it have to do with them?"

"Our business used to be pretty good, it's all your fault!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Jia Zhangshi immediately jumped up: "Silly Zhu...you heartless bastard, what are you saying?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Blame it on your lack of skill!"

"You heartless bastard, I'll beat you to death... Now that you've grown up, you suddenly dare to talk back to me!"

"I beat you to death!"

Jia Zhangshi chased after He Yuzhu, wielding a spoon, and beat him up.

Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua all stood by coldly, observing.

He Yuzhu angrily said, "I'm leaving, I quit!"

Pack your things and go straight home.

Qin Huairu and the others also went home.

There's no business in the store, so I might as well go home and think of a solution!

In the blink of an eye, the Qingming Festival has passed.

The weather is gradually getting warmer.

The trees in the courtyard are sprouting new buds, and the unknown flowers are blooming brightly.

The neighbors pulled out their stools and gathered under the old locust tree in the courtyard to chat.

The Jia family members returned to the courtyard with long faces.

Xu Damao said with a smile, "Oh... isn't this He Yuzhu? Boss He, I heard your business is doing well, you can earn more than a hundred yuan a day!"

He Yuzhu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua glared at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao laughed loudly: "What's wrong? Why are you glaring at me? I didn't say that, Xiaodang said it himself!"

"So, I heard your store was fined a thousand yuan for serving leftovers?"

"How's business now? Are people still eating at your restaurant?"

Xu Damao launched three deep strikes in succession.

The Jia family's faces darkened even more.

"Alright, Da Mao!" Uncle Yi Zhonghai said, "Stop talking, it's not good for anyone... Come here, Zhu Zi, tell me what happened?"

He Yuzhu sat down next to Uncle Yi.

The rest of the Jia family went back inside.
