Volume Two Chapter 55 Sun Tu's Miscalculation

As soon as this was said, let alone those Tong family slaves, even Wu Li showed an incredible expression. He knew very well how wrong he had done was, and only wanted the second young master to be lenient, never thought he could be exempted from punishment, and even thought nothing had happened.

But what surprised them even more was that Tong Mu showed a deep thought after being stunned: "Isn't this a failure? Wu Li, are you willing to reform yourself?" This is really going to give him a huge opportunity.

Manager Wu was stunned for a moment, then knelt down again, and replied in tears: "Second Young Master, I know my guilt. If you can really give the little one a chance to correct me, I will do my best to manage my life in the future and dare not do that, otherwise I will ask the little one to hit the sky and will not die well!"

Seeing this, Tong Mu walked up to him, helped him up and comforted him, "Shopkeeper Wu, you don't have to do this. I know you were just forced by someone before, and you were confused for a while to do such a thing. You are the old man of my Tong family for many years. I believe you will be able to manage Liufangju well."

This made Manager Wu feel grateful and swear again with tears in his eyes. Sun Tu looked around and showed a smile. Tong Mu was just kind and not stupid, obviously immediately understood his intentions.

In fact, this time, the discovery of Liufang's illusion in the family was just a problem for Tong Mu, and it was far from the time to solve the problem. This was difficult to deal with Wu Li. It was not easy to deal with if it was light, but it would leave a harsh impression on people. This was contrary to his always-on character. Secondly, this matter also involved Zhou Yun, and the next thing was even more difficult. After all, they were nominal cousins, so they could not turn their backs on just this little thing, right?

The last and most important thing is, once this matter is really revealed, how will Tong Guan view him? He handed Liuxiangju to Tong Mu, but you actually caused such a scandal under your nose. Is it a testament to your incompetence?

Based on these considerations, Sun Tu came up with such a cold solution. As long as things are temporarily suppressed, they can not only cover up the imminent problems, but also completely gain Wu Li's loyalty. In this way, the love of the good will naturally be under their control. Zhou Yun will definitely fail if he wants to do anything. In the end, doing so ensures Tong Mu's name of kindness, which is really a good countermeasure to count birds with one stone.

Tong Mu comforted Wu Li a few more words before saying: "But Manager Wu, Liu Fangju's business is really bad now, and some changes must be made. Sanlang is indeed capable of helping you, so..."

"The little one naturally obeyed the second son's words and also listened to Mr. Sun." This time Wu Li did not dare to object anymore, and immediately responded to the matter. In his opinion, Sun Tu was also considered a benefactor who saved his benefactor, so of course he had to give him enough money.

After hearing this, Sun Tu also smiled: "After all, the experience of managing Liuxiangju is far from comparable to that of Manager Wu. I hope we can cooperate well in the future and make the business prosperous." This is exactly the result he hopes to see, but it is much better than taking the opportunity to remove him and establish another manager. Otherwise, if someone changes, not only will he not be able to do enough, but he will also have to worry that Zhou Yun can find an opportunity to take advantage of it.

But this is different from Manager Wu. He has to take the blame for his own sins and do everything in the future. It will naturally be much easier to cooperate. This is the way to use people. Sometimes, people may not necessarily use those with noble character. If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the person is checked, there will be no disciple.

After comforting Manager Wu and making a decision with him that Sun Tu would come to rectify the restaurant affairs tomorrow, Tong Mu finally got up and left. After coming outside, he specifically reminded the servants of the house: "You must not spread this matter. If I were to let me know that someone would spread the matter today, I would not spare you!"

The servants bowed their heads and thought that although they had not yet understood why the second young master had made such a decision, they did not have the courage to question it, and they did not dare to take risks.

&&&&&

The next morning, after returning from training horses outside the city, Sun Tu came to Liufangju directly. The business here is still deserted and there are no customers. Even though the wine was cut back yesterday, the price of wine outside is still much lower than that here.

Seeing Sun Tu coming to the door, Wu Li quickly ran out to greet him, with a hint of worry on his face: "Young Master Sun, do you think we can really do the business well?" Last night, he didn't sleep all night, and his mind kept thinking about how to redeem his sins, but he had no clue.

As an old shopkeeper who has been running a restaurant for many years, Wu Li knew very well how difficult it was to regain customer recognition for a hotel that had been deserted, because drinkers are used to it, and once they get used to eating and drinking, they will keep going. In addition, people's herd mentality, seeing that their family's life is so deserted, everyone will think that the restaurant is not well-fed, so they have no idea of ​​giving it a try.

Sun Tu seemed quite confident: "Of course, I have my own way to make our restaurant business better." As he said that, he had already picked up a table and sat down, and said to several guys who were still standing there with a look of surprise: "What are you still standing there? Come and try some of our specialty wine and food in the store."

These people really didn't expect that the attitude of Manager Wu's shopkeeper Wu changed completely in just a few days, so they looked at Sun Tu with a strange look. Until he saw him speak like this, Wu Li urged him, and they quickly agreed and went to the kitchen to prepare the food and drinks. They had a low status and dared not ask about the inside story.

Soon, several dishes and two pots of wine were delivered to Sun Tu's table one by one. Although these dishes were made by simple steaming and other techniques, they also had their own unique features. Sun Tu only ate a few bites and nodded repeatedly: "These dishes are good, especially this fish soup, which is even more delicious, and they are not something that can be eaten in ordinary stores."

Manager Wu nodded repeatedly: "What Mr. Sun said is that these dishes are the specialties in our building, but the prices are also a little higher. If you try this wine again, Yulu and Yuhuchun are both good wines in our building, and they are also somewhat famous in Tokyo."

Sun Tu nodded, then poured a cup of jade dew first as he said and tasted it.

He rarely drank alcohol since he traveled through time, and after coming to Tokyo, he had not touched the drink. The reason was that Sun Tu knew that his body had not yet grown completely, and it was always good to not drink alcohol; the other was that he did not have much hope for the wine in the Song Dynasty. In his opinion, the wine at this time was not even comparable to the bulk white wine in later generations, and there was no point in drinking it.

However, after he tasted the glass of jade dew, his original prejudice was immediately overturned. He felt that the wine was soft, the taste was sweet and sweet. Although it could not compare to the distilled liquor of later generations, its taste was not worse than those high-end liquors a thousand years later!

This surprised Sun Tu and his expression became solemn. He quickly poured another cup of jade pot and sipped it, and then his face became even more ugly, because he found that the wine was more mellow than jade dew and had endless aftertaste!

After all, he underestimated the ancients and thought that the wine from thousands of years ago was sour and unpalatable, and even the cheapest bulk wine in later generations could not compare to it. Now he knew how big the prejudice he had.

Sun Tu really took it for granted in this matter, because he had been exposed to the wine in Yuncheng County before, so he thought that the wine in the Song Dynasty was just like this. But in fact, everything in Yuncheng County and Tokyo is far from each other, so how could the wine in famous shops in Beijing be bad?

But in this way, what I thought I could do easily would be difficult. Sun Tu originally planned to take out the wine from the warehouse to replace Liu Fangju's original wine, thereby turning the situation around. But now, he can't get the bad wine at all, so what should I do?

Seeing Sun Tu's expression changed several times after drinking, Wu Li couldn't help but feel nervous: "Mr. Sun, is there any problem with this wine?"

Sun Tu then came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "Wine is all good wine, so there is no problem."

"Then I wonder if you have any good ways to change the situation right now?"

After he asked this, Sun Tu's face turned red again, and he could only vaguely say: "This, I have to let me think about it again." He was too arrogant, but now it has become a difficult situation, but what should I do?
