Seeing off Chang Yanxiao and the others, I observed the situation in the store and found that there were quite a few customers, the seats downstairs were almost full, and the guys in the store were sweating profusely.

"Owner, business is really hot! We already have an income of fifty taels of silver. When I walked to the counter, the shopkeeper Hu said with a swarthy abacus.

I smiled and nodded to him and said, "I'll go back first, and you can watch it for me in the store." ”

Hu said: "Okay! ”

It's been out for a while, it's time to go back, Hu Pingping is a flexible master, give it to him to watch, I am very relieved.

I had just walked a few steps, and before I could go out, I turned back again.

"Hu Pingping, give me ten taels of silver." I shouted.

Hu Ping hurriedly scraped together ten taels of silver for me, all of which were loose money.

A few red-faced guests walked to the counter: "Shopkeeper, how much?" ”

Xiao Er, who was in charge of them, handed the consumption list in his hand to Hu Pingping.

Hu Ping "crackled" and dialed the abacus beads, but those people couldn't stay idle, and they all turned their targets to me who hadn't left yet: "This girl is really good-looking, I don't know which girl it is." ”

"This is the owner of our store." After Hu Ping finished speaking, he looked at the abacus again and reported their consumption.

"Yo, in such a big field, the boss turned out to be a woman, incredible. Don't know if you need help? A strong man leaned over to me.

I moved slightly to widen the distance, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, the small shop is newly opened, and I hope that a few people will take care of it in the future." ”

"Haha......, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, our brothers will definitely come often in the future, and if you have the opportunity, you want to have two drinks with the owner, and then I hope that you will appreciate the beauty." The strong man said with a snort of wine.

I just smiled and didn't answer, and the men dangled out.

Hu Ping stretched out his head: "Boss, it's better for you to show up less in the future, this world is mixed, you ......"

"A woman, huh!" I answered.

"Hey, you got it." Hu Ping sneered.

"Don't worry, your boss and I are not ordinary people, just these individuals, it doesn't matter if there are a hundred." I say.

"Blow it!"

Hu Ping muttered, and I heard it clearly.

"Why don't you try!" I squinted at him.

"Small mouthy!" Hu Pingdao.

"Forget it, I don't care about you. Also, in front of me, you don't need to call yourself small. You're my helper, but I want us to get along more like friends. I said.

Hu Ping looked at me with a hint of surprise on his expression.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"You don't have the boss at all, can you control us in the future?" Hu Ping said.

"I don't want you to need me to take care of it, you'd better be able to take care of yourself." I say.

"You're the most special person I've ever met." Hu Ping said with a smile.

I smiled and left the counter and walked out of the restaurant. I have to buy some things to go back, in the past month, the family has almost run out of rice to cook, and every day I eat wild vegetables and grown in the ground, and there is not a single star of meat foam. I can feel that Zhuo Ran's mother and son are thinner than before.

I hadn't started buying the things I wanted to buy yet, but when I passed by a teahouse, I saw two familiar figures walking in, as if one of them was Xu.

I hid my whereabouts and glanced at the door, and sure enough, I saw Xu and Yi Zhihua's father going to the second floor, and in front of them was the teahouse Xiaoer, followed by Yi Yuanwai's domestic servant.

Something must be going on. Seeing that there was no one in the teahouse, I instantly followed them invisibly into a private seat, and Xiao Er went out after serving the tea.

"Old Madam Zhuo doesn't know what to do with Yi?" Yi Yuanwai spoke first.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to talk about the marriage between Xiao'er and your daughter. I don't know what to do with the staff? Xu said with a smile.

Yi Yuanwai laughed and said: "This matter can wait for the other son to go to Beijing to catch the exam, if he marries at this time, I am afraid that it will affect the other son." ”

"Yes, yes, the staff is thoughtful, and the old woman sees it." Xu smiled and nodded, but her smile began to become unnatural.

I analyzed her opening sentence, and estimated that she wanted Zhuo Ran to marry Yi Zhihua as soon as possible, so that the family's dilemma would be alleviated.

But Na Yi seemed to be making another calculation, he said that after Zhuo Ran entered Beijing for the exam.

I scolded in my heart, this old fox, he wanted to wait for Zhuo Ran to get fame before marrying his daughter to him, and at that time, he would also follow fame and fortune. If Zhuo Ran didn't pass the exam, they wouldn't have decided on marriage anyway, and it was not up to him to decide whether to marry his daughter or not.

Before they left, I left first, bought a chicken, fish and meat, bought some rice and hired someone to carry it back for me.

"You're back? How do you buy so many things? "As soon as I entered the door, Zhuo Ran saw me.

I paid the two helpers I hired, and they thanked me and left.

"What is this?"

A surprised tone came from behind him. I turned around and saw Xu, who had just entered the door, staring at the pile of things I had bought.

"Xiao Li bought it back." Zhuo Ran said.

"Where did you get the money to buy so many things?" Xu looked at me in disbelief.

"I ......"

"By the way, you've been missing a lot lately. Say, are you doing something out there? Otherwise, where would the money come to buy these? "I haven't finished speaking, Xu can't wait to say it.

"Don't get me wrong, I earned this money myself, ...... today"

Before he finished speaking, Xu interjected: "How did you earn it?" You're a woman, aren't you ...... with that man?" she didn't finish.

This...... I can't help but wonder, do I look like that kind of person? In order to prevent her from continuing to speculate, I had to say bluntly: "I opened my own shop to earn it." ”

"Who are you fooling, where do you get the money to open a store?" Xu still didn't believe it.

Secretly rolling my eyes, I said, "I just opened today, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to do well, so I haven't told you." I borrowed the money from the bank, and you can rest assured that you will not be asked to pay it back for me. ”

"You didn't lie to us?"

"You'll find out just by looking."

"I'd love to see it, but I can't walk on my old legs. Ran'er, go and have a look. ”

Xu Shi said and sat down on a chair nearby. Zhuo Ran went to the kitchen and poured a cup of tea for his mother: "We should believe Xiao Li, don't go and see it!" ”

"Let's go!" Before Xu's attack, I pulled Zhuo Ran out.

Walking into the city, I hired a carriage and quickly took Zhuo Ran to the store.

"Owner, why did you come back so soon, I have gained a lot in half a day today."

When Hu Ping saw me appear, he immediately ran over, and when he saw Zhuo Ran, he asked me again: "Who is this son?" ”

I glanced at the restaurant, it was still early before lunchtime, and there weren't many customers.
