Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

After being the shopkeeper for more than ten years, this was the first time he was in such an embarrassing situation. Listening to the noise around him, the shopkeeper of Lvyuju became increasingly angry.

But these were all customers of the store, and he still expected them to continue to buy things at Green Jade House in the future. He could only apologize with a smile and said, "Everyone has really misunderstood. Our judges are absolutely fair and just."

The woman who was competing didn't believe it at all and asked, "If it's fair, why are all the people chosen the relatives and friends of the judges?"

The shopkeeper of Green Jade House kept smiling: "Of course it's because those people did a good job. When the judges are judging, they can't just not choose them because they are relatives or friends. Isn't that unfair?"

This made sense at first. The contestants choked for a moment, and then lowered their voices. "As the saying goes, there are always people better than you. It's not uncommon for the judges' families to do better than us, but sixteen of the judges' relatives and friends made it into the top thirty. It's hard for us to believe that there's nothing fishy about this competition."

"Yeah, one or two would be fine, four or five we can accept, even seven or eight would be okay, but it has to be sixteen, you guys are really too ruthless in your fakery."

"I think you just don't want to reward us, so you did this on purpose!"

The shopkeeper of Green Jade House did not expect that the more they talked, the clearer their minds became, and he became very anxious. At the same time, he cursed the shop assistants in his heart.

Since they were cheating, they didn't even bother to be careful, and ended up getting discovered. Now he's been surrounded by people, which is really embarrassing.

Seeing more and more people surrounding him, and thinking that the store would have to open for business in the future, the shopkeeper had no choice but to harden his heart and said, "Since everyone says there is something fishy, ​​bring out the exact evidence. As long as there is evidence, I will arrange for someone to re-evaluate."

"Our clothes were mixed up in the chaos just now, and they are dirty and damaged. How can we compete?" The woman standing opposite the shopkeeper of Green Jade House held a baby's clothes covered with mud in her hand: "If you really want to give us an explanation, just hold a new competition. As for the judges, find someone else to judge them."

"Yes, learn from Tingyu Handicraft Workshop. Their method is good and it is impossible to fake it." A bystander who was watching the fun shouted at the top of his voice.

The shopkeeper of Green Jade House: "......"

Li Yu stood outside, waiting for the Lvyuju owner's answer.

If she were the shopkeeper of Green Jade House, she would definitely follow the wishes of the people and re-compete and re-judge, even if it would cost a lot more money. After all, the reputation of the store is the most important.

The shopkeeper of Lvyuju knew well the interests involved. If he had not invited the people from Qingyuefang today, there would have been no problem in holding another competition. But the people from Qingyuefang were here, and if he held another competition under such circumstances, the money he earned from selling cotton dolls this time would be gone.

How is he going to explain to his boss then?

His cotton dolls were selling well recently and his boss was very satisfied with him.

If he had known earlier, he would not have held a competition like Tingyu Handicraft Workshop. Now he doesn’t know what to do.

A trace of regret welled up in his heart. After a while, the shopkeeper of Green Jade House gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do as everyone said and hold another competition. However, it won't be possible in the next few days. After these few days, I will arrange for people to prepare everything again and find judges, and then we can compete again."

The more he spoke, the more confident his tone became. The women competing beside him were slightly satisfied when they saw that he had come up with a solution.

"Since the shopkeeper is so sincere and considerate of us, we will accept your kindness. Please notify us before the next competition."

The shopkeeper glanced at the faces of the group of people and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, we will notify you one by one when everything is ready."

Although he said this, what he actually thought in his heart was that he would find someone to ruin the competition of Tingyu Handicraft Workshop and cause trouble. By then, the government would see that the competition was not safe and would ban it in order to avoid being too tired.

At that time, he could directly avoid the second competition.

Besides, when the boss saw that the workshop did not perform well in the competition, he naturally would not blame him too much.

I guess he will have to pay the money he got for trouble himself, which makes me feel really bad.

Li Yu left before the competing women dispersed.

Shopkeeper Sheng was also watching nearby. When he saw Li Yu, he hurriedly followed her and said, "Madam Li, do you believe what the shopkeeper of Green Jade House said just now?"

Li Yu shook his head: "I don't really believe it. I guess he will find a reason to avoid the second competition."

Shopkeeper Sheng: "I don't believe it either. I suspect he will cause trouble for us out of jealousy."

The two families held a competition together, and in the end one was in disgrace while the other was in great spirits. Considering how shameless the owner of Green Jade House is, there is a high probability that he would not do good things.

Li Yu glanced at Shopkeeper Sheng and said, "You are absolutely right. So be careful in the afternoon and don't let anyone bump into you. It's best to tell the guards in advance and ask them to dress up as civilians and mix in the crowd. Always pay attention to the surroundings. Don't let the civilians get hurt.

Find two more people to keep an eye on the judges. They are well-known in the capital, so don’t let anything happen to them.”

Shopkeeper Sheng said yes repeatedly.

Because the handicraft workshop competition in the morning went well, the number of people outside the competition venue in the afternoon increased by at least 30% compared to the morning.

Many people couldn't see it and stood on tiptoe to look into the venue.

There were also children sitting on the shoulders of their fathers or grandfathers, leaning their heads to look.

There are more stalls in the afternoon. In addition to food, there are also people selling other things, such as rouge, facial cream, lanterns, porcelain, and everything else.

Li Yu did not stand there and watch like he did in the morning. Instead, he found a small stool, sat under a tree and paid attention to the movements around him.

Fortunately, no problems occurred during the one-hour competition.

Until the end of the competition, when Manager Sheng was preparing to select judges, three dogs suddenly broke into Li Yu's sight.

*

The three dogs looked majestic, but seemed unattended. They were dirty and were running towards this side quickly with their mouths wide open.

Li Yu's pupils shrank and he immediately whistled.

The East Palace guards who were mixed in the crowd had already seen the dog. After hearing Li Yu's reminder, they trotted over to meet it.

They were not afraid at all. The moment they met the dog, they raised their feet and kicked the dog's neck.

They were all martial artists, and those dogs were no match for them. They were kicked two or three meters away, and then looked at the guards in fear, making threatening sounds in their throats.

The guards were not afraid at all and raised their feet again.

This time the three dogs were kicked even further away. They whimpered and dared not move forward. They tucked their tails between their legs, turned around in place for a while, and then ran back the way they came in shame.
