Chapter 228: Grocery Store
The young man was shocked by the sight that the manager actually paid according to Gong Jian's request just now! He never expected that the manager would actually give so much money. It's just the rhythm of the red rain in the sky and the sun coming out of the west. Besides, what do you mean by what the chief said to the boy!
It wasn't until the pheasant smashed on him that the young man came to his senses and instinctively grabbed the pheasant. As soon as he looked up, he saw a cold look from the manager, which made him tremble all over, and almost the pheasant in his hand was about to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and hugged the pheasant tightly with his other hand. At the same time, I thought silently in my heart: It seems that my ineffective work today has made the manager ruined. Next, he must be more cautious, and not let the manager catch anything wrong, otherwise he will spill all his anger on himself.
Manager Wang saw that the young man had taken the pheasant, and he didn't bother to talk to Gong Jian again, and most importantly, he didn't want to be seen by more people because he was so embarrassed. So he immediately turned around and walked to the back kitchen of the restaurant. The constant pain in his mouth reminded him that he had to go to the hospital to see the doctor quickly.
The more he walked, the more angry he became, don't let him know who is attacking him behind his back, and whether there are dog things under his hands, he will definitely not be able to spare them.
Gong Jian doesn't care at all now, the dirty psychology of those two. At this time, he happily clenched the silver in his hand, at least today was a victory. A pheasant was sold, and it was a penny of silver, which was indeed a good record.
But on second thought, he was troubled again. The situation of the only restaurant in the town, he can be considered to have a clear understanding today. It's not a serious place to do business at all.
Manager Wang, who is in charge of procurement, and his subordinates have such a face, and the owner of the restaurant is not much better? But there is only this one restaurant in the town, and their backstage is very strong.
After that, if the family hunts wild game, where will it be sold? Come here, it's definitely not going to work. He fooled that manager Wang this time, but next time, he couldn't use this trick again. The prey that he has worked so hard to hunt, of course, can't be cheap for these black-hearted guys.
Gong Jian thought about this as he walked. He didn't even pay attention, someone was beckoning him on the road, and he didn't react until his sleeve was pulled by someone.
It was the aunt he had just met in the morning who was tugging at his sleeve. "Big brother, where are you going? I've called you several times, but you haven't heard you. “
Gong Jian saw that she was relaxed at this time, and it seemed that the goods she carried on her back in the morning had been sold.
Hearing his aunt's question, he hurriedly replied, "Big, eldest sister, I'm sorry, I think things are fascinating." Have you sold all those baskets?"
As soon as the aunt heard him talk about this, she immediately said cheerfully: "Yes, our family has been dealing with Tian Kee grocery store for several years. Each other has to trust each other, so it was dealt with quickly. ”
"Big brother, where are you going? If you're not in a hurry, come, go to eat a bowl of chaos with the eldest sister. Thanks to you in the morning, if I hadn't been pressed by me this time, I would have smashed it in my hands. Big sister, I want to thank you!"
After speaking, without waiting for Gong Jian's reaction, the aunt pulled him and was about to walk to the wonton stall next to him.
"Eldest sister, you are too polite. In the morning, I did it too, and I really don't need your thanks. Gong Jian hurriedly excused himself. He knew that for most villagers, they were reluctant to spend money to buy food and drink in the town when they went to the town. In Gong Jian's back basket, there were cakes and water prepared for him by his mother in the morning.
The aunt pulled Gong Jian a few times, but found that he didn't move at all. Only then did she realize that this little brother was not as thin as he seemed.
"Oh, little brother, what are you still polite to the eldest sister? Although the eldest sister's family is not rich, it is still no problem to invite you to eat a bowl of chaotic money. “
Gong Jian also knew that the eldest sister sincerely wanted to thank herself. He hurriedly explained: "Eldest sister, I really can't afford your thanks." At that time, other people will be there and will reach out to help. ”
The aunt deliberately pretended to be a little angry: "If other people help, the eldest sister will also invite others to eat." Why do you have to let the eldest sister thank you?"
Gong Jian is also not good, always shirking the kindness of others. So he hurriedly spoke: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I really have one thing that needs my eldest sister's help." ”
As soon as she heard Gong Jian say this, the eldest sister also put her mind at ease, she let go of the hand holding Gong Jian, patted her chest and promised: "Little brother, you say it, but if the eldest sister can help, the eldest sister will definitely help!"
Gong Jian also suddenly had an idea, since this aunt is more familiar with the town than himself, then he can ask about the general situation of the two grocery stores in this town. Although he already knew, the aunt sold his goods to Tian Ji grocery store. But he also wanted to know the reputation of Tian Kee grocery store from his aunt's mouth.
What happened in the restaurant just now was that I didn't inquire in advance before, and I almost sold the pheasant at a low price. Gong Jian is even more worried that he is afraid of causing trouble to his family, after all, he has to consider the impact of the incident in every word and deed now. The illness at home, small and small, really can't withstand any blows.
He hurriedly thanked his aunt first, and then said: "Eldest sister is like this, I have a rabbit skin, I don't know, where will I buy it in this town?"
When the aunt heard him ask, she immediately smiled: "I thought it was something, but it turned out to be this." Let me tell you, this thing will be collected at the Tianji grocery store. ”
Before Gong Jian could ask again about the situation of Tian Ji's grocery store, the aunt began to talk to him endlessly.
"This Tian Kee grocery store has been open in our town for decades, and it has always been a fair price. In this radius, people in villages of more than ten miles like to go to Tian Kee grocery store if they have anything to sell. It's not because the shopkeeper there is fair. ”
"Those of us who have reached some age know that the owner of the Tianji grocery store is Tianyuanwai, and he is the richest man in the county, not to mention, the family is a family of people and benevolent people for generations. It is said that even the county lord and the state lord have good diplomacy with the field members. ”
Gong Jian didn't expect that the owner of the grocery store in this small town was actually the richest man in the county. He couldn't help asking, "Eldest sister, does this Tian family have any other industries in this town?"
