As soon as he heard the shopkeeper Tian say this, Blacksmith Wang also sighed with emotion: "Who said it wasn't." This palace brother is really rare. ”

Speaking of this, Blacksmith Wang touched the back of his head and said with regret: "It's a pity to say, I only have that little son, if I want to have a daughter, I must marry her to Brother Gong." I'm going to take hold of this son-in-law. ”

Originally, when Gong Jian heard the words of the shopkeeper Tian, he instinctively felt that this was just his excuse. Only the simple and coarse nerve of the blacksmith Wang will be easily blinded by the shopkeeper Tian.

But after listening to Blacksmith Wang's words, Gong Jian felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly lowered his head to eat the food, pretending not to hear the words of the blacksmith Wang, but some of the red tips of his ears were exposed, and his mood at this time. Gong Jian didn't expect to talk about his private affairs all of a sudden.

Shopkeeper Tian also saw Gong Jian's performance. He glanced at the king blacksmith, "If you have a daughter, who would dare to marry the daughter of your family." ”

Blacksmith Wang glared, "What if I have a daughter? Why will no one dare to marry my daughter?"

The shopkeeper over there took a slow sip of wine, and then said: "If you want to have a daughter, and then look like you, who do you say dare to marry your daughter?"

Blacksmith Zhang obviously wanted to say, what is wrong with looking like me! But he was stuck halfway through, imagining in his mind that if there was a big and three thick like his own daughter, he would also tremble and chill. Well, with such a daughter, it is estimated that no one would dare to marry it.

Gong Jian was drinking wine and eating hot pot over there. He didn't pay attention to it, the two old friends joked with each other, and the main topic was accidentally set on fire. He should eat and drink well by himself.

But for some reason, Gong Jian always felt that the words of the shopkeeper Tian were not finished, although he now seems to have returned to the way he was at the beginning, arguing with the blacksmith Wang, but in general, he was dyed with a trace of sadness.

Gong Jian thought about it for a while, and the shopkeeper Tian didn't seem to have a family. Could it be that he is also a man with a story? And just now, I don't know which scene touched the string in his heart. Even if he tried his best to cover it up, he couldn't completely contain that sadness.

This is definitely not a topic that should be touched by a junior, Gong Jian hurriedly picked up the wine glass and toasted the two seniors, and he shifted the topic to other things. The three of them began to eat and drink lively.

This lunch lasted for more than an hour, and the three of them were extremely satisfied. The shopkeeper Tian was even a little too drunk, so Gong Jian said goodbye to the blacksmith Wang, and helped the shopkeeper Tian to walk slowly to the Tianji grocery store.

Of course, Gong Jian still carried a mouthful of hot pot in his hand. It took a lot of effort for him to get Blacksmith Wang to accept the money for the hot pot. But it was all worth it, and he was overjoyed.

When he returned to the grocery store, Gong Jian hurriedly asked the young man to make a cup of strong tea and relieve the hangover for the shopkeeper Tian. After seeing him better, Gong Jian mentioned the purpose of his coming today.

"Uncle Tian, have you been in a hurry to find me for anything these days? Is it because there is something wrong with the hot pot restaurant?"

Shopkeeper Tian also came to his senses at this time, he had a wisp of thought, and then said: "The reason why I am in a hurry to find you is mainly because of two things. This first one, of course, is to tell you about the current operation of the Beijing hot pot restaurant. That's the second thing. ”

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Tian stood up, he turned around, and took out a burden from the cabinet. Walking back to the chair next to Gong Jian and sitting down, he opened the burden on the table, and motioned for him to look at the contents of the baggage.

In the baggage was a thin ledger with a few sheets of paper pressed under it.

Gong Jian looked at the account, but he didn't reach for it, just looked at the shopkeeper Tian suspiciously.

Shopkeeper Tian smiled, he reached out and picked up the account and opened it, and handed it to Gong Jian: "This is the account of the hot pot restaurant for the past ten days." When the chief steward asked the bookkeeper to make the accounts of the hot pot restaurant, he specially copied a copy for you. This is what he sent in a hurry, you can take a look. By the way, there's also this one, which is also for you. ”

After speaking, Shopkeeper Tian picked up the pieces of paper that were originally pressed underneath. When he took the pieces of paper in his hand, Gong Jian realized that those were not ordinary papers, but several silver tickets of different denominations.

Gong Jian didn't rush to get the silver ticket, he took the account and looked at it carefully. The account book remembers very clearly, and the hot pot restaurant has made quite a lot of profits these days. In fact, it is far beyond Gong Jian's expectations, it seems that there are really many rich people in the capital.

Originally, in addition to being fresh and novel, the hot pot was more able to meet the needs of all walks of life. There is a wide variety of dishes, so both extravagant and frugal customers can find their favorite.

And the extent to which the people in the capital are rich must be unimaginable for Gong Jian, a poor boy in the poor countryside. When he saw the accounts, he already knew that this time Tian Kee Restaurant was really profitable. In just a few days, the profits of the hot pot restaurant have reached the point where he smacks his tongue.

Gong Jian slowly closed the account book, and he looked at the few silver tickets handed over by the shopkeeper Tian. What he didn't expect was that the chief steward would send his part of the profits over so quickly.

Shopkeeper Tian watched Gong Jian generously take the silver ticket in his hand, and he nodded with satisfaction. When the young man saw the huge profits on the ledger, he didn't show a trace of greed. is even more generous, taking away his part of the profits.

Now the shopkeeper Tian looked at Gong Jian and felt more and more satisfied. Such an excellent young man, he has never seen it in his life. I don't know how his family educated him to be so good.

Shopkeeper Tian thought of his heart-pounding thoughts before, and he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. If he hadn't gone back to the old mansion, he wouldn't have thought of such a good idea.

He looked at Gong Jian's eyes, and he was a little more eager. If your own ideas can come true, then you can be regarded as worthy of the cultivation and trust of the old master.

Over there, Gong Jian had put the silver tickets in his arms properly. He had just looked at the accounts, and he already knew the profits that had been distributed to him, and in just ten days, his wallet had increased by a thousand taels of silver.

At this time, he was very happy, not at all as light as he appeared on the surface. You must know that when he was in the county before, when he bought the private property of the house, he had already spent almost all the money, and this large amount of silver into the account was simply timely rain for him.

So thinking about it, he didn't notice the overly enthusiastic gaze that Shopkeeper Tian was looking at him.
