Chapter 116 Acute gastroenteritis + stomach disease + wind chill (poor me)
Hearing Cao Qing's proposal, the depressing old Liu who was sitting beside him suddenly showed a look of disbelief.

Afterwards, he let out a breath of white air, stepped across the distance between Cao Qing and Cao Qing, and said with a joyful and incredible expression:

"Here, big boss, are you really willing to sponsor me to open a shop? Are you willing to help me pass on my unique craftsmanship?"

Seeing the surprise on Old Liu's face, Cao Qing smiled and didn't say much. He just lightly tapped Huang Bo's shoulder beside him, indicating that all the next things will be done by him who often eats here deal with.

Obviously, Huang Bo, who likes Lao Liutou's cooking skills of Hu spicy soup, is also very interested in this task.

Soon, before Cao Qing had finished the remaining spicy soup in his bowl, he saw Huang Bo smiling and walking back from Old Liu Tou not far away. Apparently, he had completely finished Cao Qing's task. What Qing told him.

For Huang Bo's performance, Cao Qing gave him a thumbs up, and praised his efficiency:

"Not bad, neck. I didn't expect you to discuss the matter with Old Liu Tou so quickly. What's the result based on your measurements?"

Seeing Cao Qing's satisfied expression, Huang Bo shook his head and smiled. Not only did he not take too much credit this time, but on the contrary, he said to Cao Qing with a little apology:

"Boss, I just discussed with Old Liu Tou. After some discussion and consideration of Old Liu Tou's health, I propose to him on your behalf to buy this formula directly from him with a sum of money, and write it as contract."

"However, at the same time, no matter how big our Hu La Tang store is in the future, we must write an introduction about the recipe of this Hu La Tang in the store, declaring that the founder of this recipe is Liu Erzhou. It’s old Liu Tou, we just bought this formula from him and carried it forward.”

Hearing Huang Bo's words, Cao Qing frowned slightly. Even though he knew that Liu Erzhou probably wouldn't have so many calculations, he had personally experienced the battle of the century between Wang Laoji and Jia Duobao in his previous life. Cao Qing still noticed the latter point sensitively.

So, enduring his unhappiness, he softly asked Huang Bo:
"That being the case, given that this requirement is met, how much does Old Liu (Liu Erzhou) plan to sell his formula? 20? 30? It can't be [-], right?"

Keenly felt that Cao Qing's tone was dissatisfied, Huang Bo, who thought Cao Qing was really dissatisfied with the high price he had paid, hurriedly explained:
"That's not true. After all, although we bought this formula from him, our store still has his name on it to make him famous, so Old Liu's asking price for this is not high, and he only needs 1 yuan will do.”

Hearing Huang Bo's explanation, the anger that had just ignited in Cao Qing's heart suddenly calmed down. He raised his eyebrows, patted Huang Bo's shoulder, and then said in a calm and profound tone:

"Now go and negotiate with Old Liu. I am willing to give him more money for this formula, um... let's give him 8 yuan, but!"

"But there are two requirements for purchasing his formula:

First, this formula can only be sold to my family and cannot be sold to others in the future.

Second, I want to buy out his formula all at once. From then on, the ownership of this formula belongs to our company. Old Liu Tou only enjoys the founder’s naming rights without any other dividend benefits.In the future, except for his own small stall, anyone else, including his son, relatives, and even himself, will never be allowed to open a second shop. "

"About these things, you must explain everything to him carefully. If he sells it, he will sell it. If he doesn't sell it, he won't sell it. I don't care about this."

"But if I buy his things, he will make some kind of moth for me later, even though he is just an old man, I can still send him to the court and prison."

"Understood, neck?"

"Of course, use a better tone, as long as you explain things clearly, I just don't like others to touch my business indiscriminately, and there is no need to scare the old man with the tone."

Huang Bo, who fully understood Cao Qing's thoughts, nodded lightly when he saw this, and got up directly to negotiate with old Liu head again with Cao Qing's thoughts.

Obviously, this time the negotiation between him and Old Liu was not as smooth as the last time. Cao Qing only saw the two people dancing and negotiating with each other for nearly half an hour. It was only later that Huang Bo finally ran back with an expression of excitement after completing the task.

Seeing Huang Bo's appearance, Cao Qing, who knew that he should have completed all the content he had explained, showed a rare bright smile on his face.

"Looking at your excited face, I guess the result of your negotiation this time should be good? I don't know if I guessed right?"

With a bright smile on his face, Cao Qing put his arms around Huang Bo's shoulders who had successfully completed the mission and returned, and said in a cheerful tone.

"Hey, although there were some difficulties in the process, I still did not disappoint the trust of you, boss. After some difficult negotiations, I still succeeded in taking down Old Liu's head."

"But regarding the signing of the contract, Old Liu Tou will go home to discuss it with his son tonight. But as long as his son doesn't object fiercely, we can consider it a done deal."

"But if his son vehemently opposes it, there's no way around it."

After speaking, Huang Bo shrugged his shoulders regretfully, and expressed to Cao Qing that he had done his best.

"It's okay. If his son disagrees, we can just leave it alone."

"It's just a Hu spicy soup recipe, and I can't make a fortune. Although I want to try to set foot in the catering industry, I don't have to only have this Hu spicy soup recipe. If it doesn't work, I can change it."

Seeing Huang Bo with a somewhat nervous expression in front of him, Cao Qing smiled, and there was no intention of blaming him in his tone, on the contrary, he was somewhat noncommittal.

Seeing Cao Qing's reaction like this, Huang Bo's more or less uneasy mood suddenly calmed down, and several people returned to the normal chatting atmosphere again.

In this way, even though they finished eating the spicy soup in front of them, they still didn't leave right away with their stomachs full. Instead, they stayed in the stall and chatted with each other for a while, until ten minutes later, their stomachs gradually became a little bit weaker. After digesting it, Cao Qing and the others paid the money to Old Liu, waved goodbye and left.

After dinner, it was only eight o'clock and less than nine o'clock. At such an early time, Cao Qing deliberately asked Lin Zhiling for leave in order to go out to relax, so he must not be able to go back so early.

So after finishing their meal, a few people, thinking of digesting food, strolled all the way and slowly arrived near the bar street in the capital.

Of course, the capital is so big, there must be many bar streets, but in terms of fame in later generations, only Sanlitun and Houhai can truly be called the standard representatives of the capital’s bar streets.

And these two places, they are like Taobao and X Duoduo, chopsticks and Douyin in the previous life, they are undoubtedly competitors and mortal enemies.

These two places are very different in terms of the commercial environment of the bar street and the consumption styles of the two places.

Because Sanlitun is close to the embassy district where foreign-funded enterprises are densely populated and businesses are also developed, the customers are mainly foreigners, urban professionals, and white-collar workers. In addition, some insiders in the entertainment industry like to come here for consumption. Generally speaking It is more of a commercial atmosphere, a rotten smell, and a smell of money.

As for Houhai, although it is much more prosperous than Sanlitun Bar Street, and there are not many bars at present, this area is also slowly developing, with a unique culture and youth style. It is most popular among young literary girls, so-called artistic youths, and spiritual aristocrats.

In the year of 2001, since the great epidemic in 03 has not yet been encountered, it can still be regarded as the private land of this group of people, and the commercial atmosphere is not particularly strong for the time being.

And it is probably because the commercial atmosphere in Houhai is not so strong today, but it is still quite popular with Huang Bo and Liu Yijun, who are still somewhat young.

So in order to match their hobbies, although Cao Qingqing personally prefers Sanlitun Bar Street, the four of them still went to Houhai tonight.

And it’s different from general novels and movie plots where as long as you go out to relax, especially if you go to a place like a pub to relax, you will definitely encounter a charming girl and hit a peach blossom. During the whole night of bar consumption, I don’t know because The reason for Misaha's high appearance is also because of Huang Bo's low appearance. In short, after coming down one night, Cao Qing not only had no luck, but even got drunk.

That night, he, who was drunk like mud, and Huang Bo, who was also drunk like mud, were directly carried into the car by Mi Saha and Liu Yijun, who smelled like alcohol, and then were thrown into the car by him. The two of them were brought back to the house they rented, and they just hugged each other on the mat on the floor all night.

It wasn't until the next morning when Cao Qing woke up that he realized that he had been hugged by Huang Bo and slept all night.

"Tmd, neck you bastard, you can't sleep honestly, but you still put your hands on my waist."

"It's just you. If it's someone else, I'll have to chop off his hands now. I'm so sorry."

Sitting up from the mat, Cao Qing, who was a little angry and funny in his heart, kicked Huang Bo's ass which was sleeping soundly, kicking him awake from his sleep.

Looking at Huang Bo who woke up from sleep with unshaven beard, disheveled hair and blank expression, Cao Qing shook his head and did not speak any more.

Ever since he said he wanted to quit drinking, he really hadn't had a drink for a long time. He didn't expect that just like this last night, he actually got himself drunk again because of his bad mood.

Simply because Cao Qing has always been strict-spoken and has never had the habit of talking in his sleep, and Liu Yijun has always been silent and trustworthy, otherwise it would really be a bit nerve-wracking.

However, compared to this ultra-small probability problem that is not worth considering, there is one thing for Cao Qing that he needs to solve immediately.

This matter is how to explain to Lin Zhiling the fact that she didn't go back all night!
Although Cao Qing asked her for leave yesterday, and Lin Zhiling also clearly agreed to Cao Qing's behavior of going out to relax, Cao Qing did not tell her at that time that he would not go home for a whole night, and Lin Zhiling is currently A pregnant woman who is almost five months pregnant.

Pregnant women are biological creatures, everyone knows that they are often in a state of grumpy + unreasonable + emotions come to mind. For women in this special period, after two months, Cao Qing I already have a full understanding of it through the honing of my cohabitation life.

So, although he was reluctant in his heart, Cao Qing hurriedly called Lin Zhiling with his slovenly appearance that he just got up and didn't even wash up.

"Beep...beep..."

The phone was connected, and Lin Zhiling's clear and soft voice came from the other end of the phone immediately.

"Hey, honey, are you awake? Did you eat?"

"If you haven't eaten, I just finished cooking, and you can have it when you come back by car."

To Cao Qing's surprise, Cao Qing thought that if she called him early in the morning, she would be scolded and scolded by Lin Zhiling. However, the tone of Lin Zhiling heard on the other end of the phone was extremely gentle. This gentleness was even Cao Qing almost thought that he hadn't woken up yet and his mind was still in a dream.

With a slightly stuttering tone, Cao Qing followed Lin Zhiling's tone and said slowly:

"Ah, I just woke up. I'll come back soon after washing my face and brushing my teeth."

"I'm sorry dear, I got drunk with Yijun and the others last night, so I slept at Yijun's house all night and didn't come home, so my dear you are worried."

"But don't worry, I slept with my neck on the floor last night, and I definitely didn't mean to fool around outside."

I don't know if it's because Lin Zhiling's tone was too gentle. Cao Qing, who originally thought that if the other party's tone was too aggressive, she must not be too soft, now her tone became unexpectedly soft. stand up.

What's more, in most cases, he would not explain his whereabouts to Lin Zhiling in detail, but at this moment, he took the initiative to explain to Lin Zhiling like a normal husband.

And Lin Zhiling, who heard Cao Qing's confession, didn't say anything more about his absence this time, she just told him to go home early for dinner and didn't say anything else.

In this gentle communication environment, some of the original impatience on Cao Qing's face gradually began to fade. In the end, when he hung up the phone, there was even a slight smile on his lips.
