Early the next morning, Gong Jian went to town. He didn't expect that the shopkeeper Tian had asked the young man to come to him three times, which showed that he had something urgent to talk to him. But unfortunately, when he hurried to the Tian Kee grocery store, he was empty.

The young man said to Gong Jian: "Brother Gong, I'm really sorry, our shopkeeper was found just now." Not in the store right now. ”

Gong Jian didn't expect that it would be so unfortunate today. He could only ask the young man first, "How long has your shopkeeper been gone? Did he say where he was going? When will he come back? In the past two days, did your shopkeeper ask you to go to my house to find me?"

The young man hurriedly replied to his series of questions: "Our shopkeeper was just called away by the housekeeper of the old mansion. It is estimated that there is something going on in the old mansion, but the shopkeeper did not explain when he will be able to come back. In the past few days, I went to Brother Gong's house, and our shopkeeper asked me to go, and I ran three times. ”

When I heard that the young man said that it was from the old mansion of the Tian family, although he knew the whereabouts of the shopkeeper Tian, it was not easy for Gong Jian to find it. He could only continue to look for clues in the young man: "Then do you know, what is the matter with your shopkeeper looking for me?" Gong Jian asked what he had always wanted to know.

But the young man obviously didn't know the specific situation, he scratched the back of his head, and said embarrassedly: "This, Brother Gong, I don't know about this." The shopkeeper didn't tell me anything, just asked me to go to your house to see if you were home, and if you were at home, let me find you to see him. “

Gong Jian didn't expect that the shopkeeper Tian asked the young man to go to his house to find him, but he didn't tell the young man what the matter was, it seems that he can only know the reason when the shopkeeper Tian comes back.

He walked around the shop a few more times, but there was nothing to do. So, he found the young man again, and asked without giving up: "Then this morning, when the shopkeeper Tian was found by the housekeeper of the old mansion, did he leave me any words?"

The young man recalled for a moment, and then said: "When the housekeeper came very suddenly in the morning, the shopkeeper was also very surprised, and the two of them didn't say a word at that time, and the shopkeeper Tian followed the housekeeper away. He didn't leave anything to say to me. “

When Gong Jian heard him say this, he was also helpless. It seems that it is really unfortunate that I came here today. But now, he has no other way to do it than wait for the shopkeeper Tian to come back. This young man obviously didn't know anything, and he didn't know what happened to the shopkeeper Tian who was in a hurry to find him.

According to Gong Jian's guess, looking for him should be related to hot pot. The place where he recently got in touch with Tian Ji is the hot pot agreement that he signed with the chief steward not long ago. Although, Gong Jian originally guessed that there could be no problem in this matter now, but looking at the performance of the shopkeeper Tian, it seems that things are not as he expected.

After all, the chief steward has obtained the hot pot, and he must mobilize the forces of all parties to open as soon as possible in order to earn more profits. It is said that in this short period of less than a month, there should be no problems, and you need to find what you have on your head.

It's not a matter to wait like this, Gong Jian is thinking about whether he should leave first. Just when he was about to talk to the young man, he planned to make an appointment with the shopkeeper Tian at another time, and he rushed to the town again. At some point, a little boy appeared beside him.

This little boy with a tiger's head looked up at him for a while while while in Gong Jian, and found that he didn't notice him, so he stretched out his little fleshy paw and pulled Gong Jian's sleeve.

At this time, Gong Jianben was still thinking about whether to stay here and wait for the shopkeeper Tian, or go home first. Just when he sighed that he was afraid that he was going to run for nothing today, he felt that someone was pulling his sleeve, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, but found that there was no one there. But the tugging on his arm continued.

Only then did he react, slowly lowered his head, and realized that it was a little boy who had been pulling his sleeve. The boy looked a little familiar, Gong Jian hesitated, he should have seen this boy, but he didn't remember very clearly, where he had seen this child.

Seeing that he finally looked at him, the little boy smiled and shouted, "Brother Gong, Brother Gong." “

Hearing this voice, Gong Jian reacted, he had indeed seen the little boy in front of him, isn't this the youngest son of the Wang blacksmith's family, Huzi.

He hurriedly squatted down, took out another piece of candy from his pocket, and put it in the little boy's hand, "Huzi, why did you come here to play today?"

The little boy stuffed the candy in his hand into his mouth, and his glasses immediately narrowed into crescents. He knew that this palace brother had something delicious on him. Thinking of the delicious food, Huzi grabbed Gong Jian's sleeve again: "Brother Gong come with me, I will invite you to eat delicious." “

Gong Jian didn't expect that Huzi was young, but his strength was not small, and under his hard pull, he was actually driven forward a few steps.

He hesitated, but there was nothing he could do if he wanted to stay here, so he turned his head, greeted the young man, told him where he was going, and followed the pull of the tiger to the king's blacksmith's blacksmith's shop.

Just like the first time, before he entered the blacksmith shop, Gong Jian heard a clanging sound from inside. But the difference was that until he entered the blacksmith's shop, he didn't see the two figures who were supposed to be beating in front of the furnace. He listened carefully, and it sounded like the banging was coming from the backyard.

Gong Jian was still wondering when the two apprentices of the blacksmith Wang had moved from the store to the backyard to work, when he heard Huzi shouting as soon as he entered the door: "Daddy, I've invited Brother Gong, hurry up and prepare something to eat." “

Hearing his shout, Gong Jian felt that he seemed to follow Huzi like this, and there was some meaning of begging for food. He has been waiting in the grocery store today for the return of the shopkeeper Tian, and he was directly pulled here by Huzi, and he didn't buy any gifts at all, so he came to the door recklessly, which is indeed a bit rude.

Gong Jian hurriedly stood still, he squatted down, planning to talk to Xiaohuzi. Even if you want to eat something good at his house, let him go out and buy some gifts before coming back.

But before he could open his mouth to speak, the bold voice of the king blacksmith came from behind the first door. "Huzi, who are you pulling back to eat good food?"

It seems that this little tiger is habitual and will pull people home and treat them to dinner. is so bold and hospitable at a young age, and I don't know who he imitated. But when Gong Jian thought of it, the performance of the blacksmith Wang all the time, he knew that this was Xiaohuzi Xiao's father.
