Gu Si looked at the short man in front of him, scratched his head unconsciously, and turned his head to look at the ancient shopkeeper.

This person looked familiar, as if he had followed Huang Erye once or twice before, but he couldn't remember his name anyway.

The ancient shopkeeper introduced a sentence without being salty: "This is the Mao steward of the Lu Mansion." ”

"Oh, Steward Mao." Gu Si greeted and scratched his head again.

Muzhaotang doesn't seem to be from the Lu family, right? What is this steward doing here?

Nowadays, Muzhaotang is very different from before, and the original scattered daily necessities have been sold at low prices. The vacated space has been newly made into a shelf, ready to be used back for wind flowers.

The original tables and chairs are still sold, but they only occupy a small space in the corners. Most of the places have folding tables and chairs of various sizes.

Nowadays, the best thing to sell, in addition to the tables and chairs used in restaurants, is actually a folding small bench, which is cheap, and many people buy it to go fishing, and even heard that there are also gifts with this.

Steward Mao didn't speak for a while, looking at the greatly changed shop, weighing what attitude should be appropriate.

In the end, Steward Mao piled up some smiles on his face and arched his hand: "Fourth Master Gu, congratulations!" ”

Congratulations? Congratulations on the Chinese New Year? Gu Si continued to scratch his head, quite a bit of the meaning of tearing off a few strands of hair, very unaccustomed to the title of 'Gu Siye', and replied for a long time: "Rejoice and rejoice, Wishing you prosperity!" ”

"......" This person is really, and the manager also has the urge to scratch his head, wasn't he talking about the New Year's greetings just now.

"I'm not congratulating you on this...... "Steward Mao was about to say the 'happy event', but he heard Gu Si ask strangely: "You mean, don't you congratulate me on making a fortune?" ”

"......" Steward Mao swallowed all the words that he had finally prepared, and said with a white face: "How come?!" Of course you want to get rich, and I'm here to congratulate you on making a fortune! ”

"Oh-," Gu Si understood, "then thank you, and made a special trip to Wishing you prosperity." ”

Why is this guy so boring. Gu Si muttered secretly, he didn't know it at all, even if he wanted to come over to celebrate the New Year, he should bring some gifts, right? Ah, Gu Si suddenly remembered that he was called to the front by the old shopkeeper to meet the guests, and his daughter-in-law was still guarding the pork at the back door.

"I'm going back to the backyard." Gu Si said casually, and he didn't care if anyone heard it or not, and ran back like a rabbit.

...... "I didn't say anything about it." Steward Mao looked at Gu Si's back, and couldn't decide whether to simply go to the backyard to continue, or let the old shopkeeper call Gu Si out again.

Although the surname of the Mao steward is Mao, it does not mean that he is interested in the Sangu Thatched House. was hung by Gu Si, and the Mao steward was sullen for a while, and then turned to talk to the old shopkeeper.

"This shop seems to be booming now?" Steward Mao glanced at the account book in the hand of the old shopkeeper, and wanted to reach out and flip through it.

The old shopkeeper squinted his eyes and laughed, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes stretched out, like an old fox.

"Steward Mao has worked hard," the old shopkeeper Gu did not answer Steward Mao's words, but opened the drawer, grabbed two small pieces of silver, and stuffed them: "What kind of charter is it, you and I have a thorough understanding." ”

This Mao steward, Gu Lao's shopkeeper has seen him several times, all of them came with Huang Er, and he wants to come to Lu Mansion, he is a person who is even worse than Huang Er, and now he is sent over, it must be because he knows him a little bit and has a face.

The lower the rank, the easier it is to buy. Because these people are relatively lacking in the big picture, they do not know the importance of the information they reveal, and at the same time, the relative value of money to them is relatively high.

Sure enough, the Mao steward weighed the two small pieces of silver, and felt that it didn't matter if he sued the old shopkeeper, anyway, he originally planned to let the old shopkeeper Gu help do the work of Gu Si, and even poached the old shopkeeper Gu together.

"Old man Gu," Steward Mao put the silver into his arms and said with a smile: "You guys are really lucky!" Now you know that this shop has changed owners. But the master above remembered the old days, and he looked for me two days ago, and specially explained that the old man in the shop could not be wronged because of the change of hands. ”

"I told the master about the situation of these people in the shop. The master spoke, Gu Si is a master, and he can go to work in another big carpentry shop at home! You say, isn't that a good thing to congratulate! ”

When the old shopkeeper Gu heard this, he couldn't help but jump in his heart, deliberately made a little unhappy, his eyelids touched, and he sighed: "Gu Si's wooden lump, where are you not doing?" I don't think you'd better bother with that. ”

Steward Mao's eyes rolled, knowing that if there was nothing to impress the old shopkeeper Gu, this old guy was afraid that not only would he not help, but he would also have to help.

Leaned over from the counter at the moment and said with a smile: "I haven't finished talking about it yet, you old man, it's also good!" If you are willing to go over together, you can also be a second shopkeeper over there. ”

Seeing that the old shopkeeper Gu had something to say, Steward Mao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't you want to." It's not to lower your level, but you must know that the shops on Giethoorn Street, this wooden light hall can't top up to ten or eight! The second shopkeeper over there is more noble and decent than your big shopkeeper today! ”

Giethoorn Street.

Gu Lao's shopkeeper caught a trace of information again, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that there are rules in one line, and I left like this, but I didn't ruin my reputation for many years, but I'm afraid that when I get there, I will be laughed at by my peers." ”

(Note: 'Apostrophe' means to throw down.) 'Cannon' means a weapon. The word "skimming" literally means throwing down a weapon, which means suddenly quitting. ）

Reputation is still very important in the shopkeeper's (professional manager) industry. You worked for this family and suddenly stopped changing jobs, so who would dare to invite you? What if you run away again? So there is not enough price, and generally no one is willing to do it.

Steward Mao was unequivocal, and said immediately: "As long as you are willing to help and let Gu Si pass the file, there will be twenty taels of cash to collect!" "Don't mention the fact that the old shopkeeper Gu also changed jobs.

In fact, the condition that the fifth lady opened was that she could give Gu Lao's shopkeeper a 'persuasion fee' of one hundred taels, but in the eyes of Steward Mao, one hundred taels was too unnecessary, so she folded it in half and folded it in half, and only offered a price of twenty taels.

This is also about the same amount of silver that the old shopkeeper Gu can get for a year. What's more, judging from Mu Zhaotang's previous business situation, Gu Lao's shopkeeper is afraid that he may not be able to get twenty taels a year.

Of course, Gu Si didn't have to pay for the silver he had to pay for jumping ship. I'll talk to him about the specific conditions, and you can help me beat the side drum. "Steward Mao continued to say 'generously'.
