The older of them held a cigarette in their mouths, and pinned their hats behind their ears.

When he saw Shao Nian here, he also took the initiative, he took out half a box of foreign fire from the small bag where he took out the cigarette, and put it on the brown phosphorus surface that was half old and not new.

The patrolman took a deep look at Shao Nianshi, then brought the cigarette in his mouth to the fire, took a deep breath, and the cigarette was lit.

When he had spat out the bitter, tobacco-smelling ring, the old patrolman asked, "What do you want to know?"

After Shao Nian was inquired with approval, he bowed slightly, and then asked: "This chief, I am the newly appointed shopkeeper of the third grain store of the first family. ”

"I don't know how to get to this Maoming Street?"

When the old patrolman heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Shao Nianshi again, this time, the smile on his face was obviously much more sincere, he took off the whistle stick on his waist, and pointed in one direction along the city gate: "Hey! Which delayed little merchant should I be, it turned out to be the young and promising shopkeeper of the old man's family." ”

"Oh, I must have just come to take over the shop, and I'm not familiar with Liaocheng, so that's how it should be. ”

"What about you, go all the way from this road, and after three forks in the road, turn left and go straight until you reach the end, and you will be there. ”

"But at this point, you're going to have to hurry up. ”

"Don't be treated as a villain by our brothers who patrol the streets in the county, it's not good to be injured by mistake again. ”

Hearing the old patrolman's careful answer, Shao Nianshi was naturally grateful and thanked.

He arched his hand towards the three patrols in front of him, said a thousand blessings, pulled the bag on his body up, and walked towards the road pointed out by the patrol just now.

In a matter of moments, man was submerged into darkness.

There are only three patrols left to patrol to the gate of the county seat, you look at me, I look at you, and the topic started with the youngest shopkeeper of the Chu family.

"Which young master of the first family is this, who is so young that he can pick up the girder in a shop?"

"Hey, I saw that I came to train the new steward, and I specially took a tepid, can't lose money and didn't make much money for them to practice. ”

"If this shop earns more in any month, it will be regarded as the performance of these new stewards. ”

Two younger patrolmen were discussing with great interest.

Who thought about it, but was interrupted by the old patrolman who had quickly finished smoking a cigarette.

"No, I look at this young man, it's not like the usual ones. ”

"Think about it, how long it took you to relax your vigilance against him since you met him, and how long did it take for you to become familiar with him and willing to discuss the affairs of a person who has nothing to do with you?"

"Tell me, when you took the cigarette he handed over, did you have a good impression of people in your heart?"

"Ask yourself, the next time we meet, will you recognize him as a person?"

When the old patrolman said this, the two young patrolmen behind him were stunned.

Even if the night is so hazy and the lanterns are so dim......

But they clearly remembered Shao Nian's appearance, and remembered his occupation very clearly, as well as the shop he was about to work in.

This is not difficult for those who do patrolling.

But this kid is not the prisoner they care about.

He was just a pass-by greeting when he met in Pingshui, but everyone present remembered his rather angular face and bright eyes.

"Hiss......"

"It's amazing......"

Just because of the words of this old patrolman, it cast a mysterious and capable aura on Shao Nianshi.

But what they didn't know was that this young man, who seemed to be very capable, had less than ten years to really do business.

What is Shao Nianshi, who was over-interpreted by the old patrolman, doing now?

When Shao Nian, who had already rushed to the depths of the alley, he was raising his hands and banging...... Knocking on the door of the third grain shop of the first family.

"Bang ......"

There was a long knock on the door, and then a hoarse voice came from inside: "Who? It's closed! No more sauce or oil......

Shao Nianshi, who said this, subconsciously looked up at the lantern that had been extinguished outside the shop, raised his hand and knocked twice.

"I am the shopkeeper of this shop that the first family just sent when I was Shao Nian. ”

"Because my family is far away, I came a little late. ”

"I'm tired, it's Uncle Jiang, the storekeeper of the shop, right? ”

Shao Nianshi's voice was loud, and Uncle Jiang, who had planned to return to the house for dinner, turned around, turned back, pulled down the door inserted in the door panel, and squeaked the door open for Shao Nianshi.

There are no lights outside, just a little moonlight pouring in.

At the main entrance stood a tall, slender young man with a somewhat warm face that was reflected, smiling at him.

This made Uncle Jiang, who had been behind the shop, a little flattered, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, wanting to welcome Shao Nianshi in.

"Quick, come in......"

And Shao Nian didn't have any politeness, he walked through the main entrance of the shop, and with the guidance of Uncle Jiang, the two of them entered the backyard of the second courtyard.

Because the front yard has been completely converted into a shop.

For safety when you sleep at night.

At the arch of the cloister in the middle of the front and back yards, Uncle Jiang asked people to add a wooden door that was two fingers wide.

There was a padlock in the middle, and there was a door plug behind it.

Whether it's going in or out, it's a guarantee for people on both sides.

When Uncle Jiang passed through this door, he kindly said to Shao Nianshi: "I heard that the shopkeeper was coming, so I asked the young man in the store to match the key early." ”

In addition to the money handed over to you by the first shopkeeper and the key to the warehouse, our shop is inside and out, but wherever it is locked, I have asked you to have a set.

"You are the shopkeeper appointed by the first master, and the whole shop is heavily fortified against others, but it is not fortified against you. ”

Speaking of which, Uncle Jiang squeaked and opened the door to the backyard.

Then he took Shao Nianshi to the left, bypassed a small courtyard, and came to the residence where the clerks in this shop lived.

It is said that it is a large place for the people in the shop to live, and there are four wings on the left and right.

It's just that Uncle Jiang is the only one who really lives in this shop.

The room where he lived was next to the back door of the shop.

Because of his work, when he wakes up early and late, he has to wait at the back door to deliver goods to the storefront.
