Section 7: The Problem from the Boss
How to say it, the current life is very leisurely, San'er just stands guard every day, and when the time comes, he goes back to rest, and there seems to be nothing else to do. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no business, and the boss is also idle, just rocking around in the chair, drinking tea by the way, looking at the pedestrians, suddenly a little emotional, said: "Now the market prospect is not as good as a year." ”
San'er stood aside, thought about it carefully, and asked the boss suspiciously: "Why did the boss say that." ”
"Look at our tofu workshop, no one has been here for many days, and if it goes on like this, you and I will have to drink the northwest wind, this is not a recession?"
San'er immediately refuted the boss: "I don't know if the market is sluggish, I only know that we have been here for so many years, and we haven't seen us better." ”
"Business is not good, so isn't the market sluggish?"
"Look boss, what you said is not right, what you haven't seen on the other side is not hot every day. San'er pointed to the corridor opposite.
"Phew, what nonsense, do you still want to do it, I see, I just hired you to become like this, it must be that you don't work hard, oh no wonder, I guess I was hooked by the little goblins opposite, my mind is not on work, I'm afraid it will drift to other girls, I really regret that I fell in love with you blindly." The boss had a beard and glared at San'er.
San'er was about to shout injustice, and the boss severely reprimanded: "If you talk again, if you talk again, I will fire you, you collided with the boss today, I will punish you, punish you severely, I want you to sell a hundred catties of tofu, you can't sell it all, hum." The boss smiled slightly, "I'll deduct a month's salary from you." ”
100 catties? San'er silently calculated in his heart, this is a year's weight, how can I sell it, thinking about asking the boss for a favor, watching the boss walk into the room in three or two steps, the door "touching" the one called a tight, knowing that this thing has to be done, and if you don't do it, you have to do it, and you have to do it, so she silently scolded him in her heart, and had no choice but to go out.
Instead of trying your luck in the tofu shop, it is better to come out and look for opportunities, San'er thinks so.
Lin Xiangzi Tavern has not patronized the tofu shop before, and it can be said that it is the biggest customer. It is said to be a tavern, but it is the one that can be used in the town, even if it is called the largest restaurant in Chunni Town.
The tall three-section building is magnificent and magnificent. The first floor is the main place for ordinary people to eat, the second floor is not ordinary, the wall is painted with more than ten meters long landscape paintings, the clouds and mist are surging, the waves are magnificent, from time to time there is a sudden person who drinks a lot of temperament, write a few words, make a small poem, now the wall is full of all kinds of ink pens, and therefore, here is mostly the gathering place of literati and elegant guests. The third floor is on the top floor, the decoration is different from the other two floors, it is mostly splendid, red lacquer pillars, antique seats, exquisite tea sets, separated into small rooms by a piece of precious wooden boards, sold, the name is called "Accord", listen to the name and know that the third floor mainly receives rich businessmen and magnates, the children of official eunuchs. It sounds a little unbelievable, a small town, where did any giant businessmen and eunuchs come from? Actually, although the sparrow is small, it still has all kinds of organs, let alone a town that is much larger than the sparrow.
The tavernkeeper's name is actually not difficult to know, it is called Lin Xiangzi. San'er has met with the boss a few times before, the person is ordinary, and he is not talkative, leaving San'er with the impression of being loyal and honest, without the air that a big boss should have, while leaving a good impression, San'er also secretly admired: No wonder people can be so successful.
San'er found this first, and walked into Lin Xiangzi's tavern with the attitude of trying, not as black and pressed as imagined, bustling with people, on the contrary, three or three twos, there were very few people coming, and the slaps could be counted, scattered on individual tables, huge boundaries, and it seemed very cold.
When he went in, San'er also saw the guy at the counter dozing off. San'er walked straight over, "Dangdangdang" knocked on the table, and the guy woke up, "What do you want to eat for the guest officer?"
San'er is older than that guy, and the two have met more times, so they are familiar with each other, so they are used to calling the third brother.
"Business looks bad today. San'er said.
The guy sighed, "Third brother, you haven't been here for a long time, it's been a while like today, and business is not good." ”
San'er frowned and listened to him continue.
The guy came to the front of him, "Taxes are increasing year by year, and prices in all aspects are rising rapidly this year, so it's good to be able to maintain the current situation." You don't know that?"
San'er thought about it, but really didn't realize it, why had she never heard the boss say it? San'er carefully calculated the monthly salary, and drew a big question mark in his heart, the money should not be less, so thinking about it, I wanted to go back and see it quickly: No, I have to check the private money, whether the boss secretly deducted the salary I don't know.
"Third brother, third brother, what are you thinking?" the man stretched out his hand and waved in front of San'er's eyes, and said, "What are you doing here yet?" ”
San'er haha: "It's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'll come and have a look." It's okay, let's go. He waved his hand at the man and walked out of the tavern door. The guy looked at his back, always felt a little strange, and said to himself, "So leisurely?"
I went around and around a few taverns, and the news I heard was more or less similar to what Lin Xiangzi's men said, people's economy was in a depression, and San'er was not embarrassed to ask, and after wandering around for most of the day, a piece of tofu was not sold, but it was a lot of homely things. Seeing that the sun already has the meaning of going west, San'er's mood gradually became low, somehow, after listening to everyone's words, he inexplicably sighed, lamenting that he could not complete the task and deduct his salary? Or will he be more and more sad in the future? He doesn't know, and he can't say clearly.
"Da Da" in the distance bursts of horses' hooves came, looking up, rolling up with smoke and dust, four or five sturdy horses came from the side of the crossing, the head was a brown and red long mane horse, galloping embarrassed, at first glance it was very unusual, the rider whipped up, the mouth shouted "give way." ”
The sound passed through the crowd, everyone hid on both sides of the road and stood up, get out of the way, the horse was galloping, no one wanted to be injured, but there was another person standing in the middle of the road in a daze, the person stood sideways, looking at the costume was very familiar, not the old man Zhang, San'er shouted "Hide." Before the word was opened, the centaur had already collided together, and San'er hurriedly ran forward.
The horse neighed desperately, its front feet stopped in mid-air, and the rider tightened the reins and finally stopped the horse.
Old man Zhang was stunned, just stood like this, the man turned over and got off the horse, and before he could speak, the horsewhip crackled and was already drawn, and he was angry and shouted: "You old immortal, dare to stand in the way of the master, I will beat you to death." ”
Obviously he was wrong, and he was so arrogant, San'er was a little angry, and none of the onlookers went up to reason, and pounced to protect Old Man Zhang. Followed by a guard dressed as a guard who hurried to grab the person with the whip, and said, "This is the town, the young master is angry, and it is not good if someone dies." ”
San'er hurriedly supported Old Man Zhang and asked carefully, "How is it, how is it." "The old man waved his hand" is not in the way, these few times are not painful or itchy. ”
How could it be okay to whip a horse, San'er thought to himself, the person called the young master heard the old man's words, lost his temper, and threw over a horse whip again, the whip "snapped" in the air, and it was extremely loud, and it hit the old man Zhang and broke two knots, half of which was still in the man's hand, and half of it had flown out a few meters away.
San'er was angry, and had been paying attention to Old Man Zhang before, so he looked at that person squarely, and that was the son of the king in the town, Wang Jin.
No wonder no one dared to come up to judge before, it turned out to be a second-generation official.
A bow was hung on the horse's back, dressed lightly, and there was a faint smell of dust on the body, while the pheasants and hares behind them were tied and hung with arrows, and the blood was "ticking and ticking" down the wounds, and it seemed that they had just returned from hunting.
Wang Jin glanced at the half of the horsewhip in his hand, and said strangely: "It's only been a few days since I changed it, don't you say it's made of cowhide? ”
The person dressed as a guard frowned and looked at Old Man Zhang, and quickly said to Wang Jin: "Young Master, you can't delay, the old man is anxious to tell us to go back." ”
Wang Jin snorted: "All the good interest has been disturbed, and my father also asked me to come back at this time." ”
"Papa" someone clapped their hands, a few small guys grinned with their teeth, their faces were hideous, and they could see the words "Don't mess with me, I'm fierce" written on their faces from a few meters away. Forcing back the onlookers on both sides, the young man who clapped his hands came out, dressed in silk and satin, combed meticulous hair, sideburns braided into two braids tied up at the back of his head, and the red belt around his waist was embedded with colorful orbs, and chuckled: "Whose family should I be, so arrogant, it turned out to be Brother Wang Jin, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the temperament of your official family is becoming more and more obvious." ”
Wang Jin sneered, didn't look at anyone, and pointed at Old Man Zhang, "Count you lucky, let's go." "Got on the horse, and the group left.
I don't know if San'er felt wrong, but I always felt that the person in the guard uniform had been peeking at him. Subconsciously glanced at the person, who was also looking at himself before leaving, and suddenly smiled.
Is he smiling at me? San'er kept asking himself, recalling that person's smile, sincere with evil charm, evil with unknown meaning, the more I thought about it, the more weird I felt, I couldn't help but shiver, could it be ......
Hey, you can't think about it too much, San'er deeply abandoned this idea, and then he thought of Old Man Zhang, and when he looked back, he was no longer there.
Looking around, there was no one in sight, the secret path was evil, and he could still walk after being beaten for so long? I happened to see two shallow footprints where Old Man Zhang was standing. The ground on this road is very hard, and it has been stepped on like this, what should Old Man Zhang be like?
Not long after Wang Jin and his party left, there was a dull sound in front of the street, and they heard someone shouting, "Young master, your horse's leg is broken." ”
The boy who was surrounded by the little guy was dressed up happily, and his "popping" hand clapped more cheerfully, "Call you so arrogant, retribution, retribution, haha." ”
The little guys under his hands secretly looked at him one by one and pouted silently.
