Chapter 37: Exploration
Wang Jin and Wang Mu walked for more than half an hour, through several alleys, and arrived at the most lively incense room in the southwest of the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Standing at the door of the tea shop, Wang Mu hesitated and said, "Eldest sister, why did you come here?" Shall we go in? ”
Wang Jin looked up at the name of the shop that had not been changed, and winked at Wang Mu, "Don't you want to come and see?" ”
"But this shop has been mortgaged to Uncle Meng, although he used to interact with our family, I just don't like him." Wang Mu frowned.
"Then leave him alone, just treat him as if he came to buy tea, and don't we are allowed to go in and have a look?" Wang Jin saw that Wang Mu was still not very reluctant, so he took out a few copper plates from his arms and stuffed them to Wang Mudao, "If you really don't want to go in, go to the opposite side to buy a bowl of bean curd and wait for me to eat it." It just so happens that the bean curd made by Mrs. Qi, you haven't eaten it for a long time. ”
Wang Mu really didn't want to see the man, so he took the copper plate and walked to the opposite side. Wang Jin saw that she was sitting down on the shop, and Granny Qi greeted her very warmly, so she turned around and entered the tea shop with confidence.
"What kind of tea do you order, our tea shop has all the varieties of tea in the southeast, northwest and northwest!" Xiao Er, who was standing behind the counter, was busy bandaging tea leaves for a checkout customer, feeling that someone was coming and not raising his head, and opening his mouth was a mantra to say 800 times a day.
"I want West Lake, Longjing, Huangshan, Maofeng, Lu'an, Guapian, Junshan, Yinzhen, Xinyang, Maojian, Wuyi, Rock Tea, Yunnan Pu'er, Qimen Black Tea, Qingcheng Xueya, Xiaoer, do you have it all?" A sweet female voice jumped like a bean and reported a series of tea names.
The little second-hand shook his head and hurriedly raised his head, and the guest who was checking out next to him also looked at him with a surprised face.
"Miss Host! What are you doing here? When he saw the person who came, Xiao Er said with surprise on his face. He hurriedly sent the wrapped tea bag in his hand to the guest, hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, and greeted Wang Jin: "Miss, why are you free to come over today, hurry, come and sit in the room!" ”
Wang Jin smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother Dongzi doesn't need it, I just came to take a look, and now this shop is not mine, don't call me Miss Dongjia anymore!" ”
Dongzi insisted: "Miss is Miss, even if this shop changes owners, we old guys who have been here for many years can remember Miss!" Come in and sit down, I'll make you some jasmine slices, I remember your favorite is this flower tea. As he spoke, he turned sharply to make tea.
Wang Jin hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Brother Dongzi really doesn't need it, I just came to see if you are doing well in the shop, the new owner treats you kindly, I will leave if you say a few words, don't bother." ”
Seeing that she insisted on giving up, Dongzi heard her ask about the situation of the shop, and sighed slightly: "The shop is okay, we are also a more than ten years old shop, the signboard is there, and we can do some business with repeat customers." The new owner..."He hesitated slightly, thinking that it was better not to let Wang Jian worry about these things, so he said, "We are all old friends, and the new owner is an ignorant person, and we have to rely on us to take care of everything, where do you dare to be harsh on us, Miss, you can rest assured!" ”
Wang Jin was slightly relieved, and asked about Meng An's situation. "Brother Dongzi, do you know where Uncle Meng lives now?"
"What, Miss is looking for him?" Dongzi Qi Dao.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my mother told me to talk to him about what happened before." Wang explained.
Dongzi hesitated for a while before he said in a low voice: "Then Meng Dong's family lives in the shop now!" ”
"What?! Living in a shop? So where do you live, Brother Dongzi? Wang Jin was extremely surprised.
Dongzi couldn't hide this matter, so he simply told Wang Jian in detail: "On the first day when Meng Dong's family took over the shop, when he saw that the yard for us guys was tidy up, he said that he wanted to move in and live with everyone. Where is there enough for his family of four to move over? Brother Da Ming and I had to pack up a warehouse and come out, and the big guy squeezed in. ”
Wang Jian almost held his forehead and scolded: "Miser! Before going to see Jiang Qingliu this morning, she first quietly went to Meng An's house on the corner diagonally opposite her house to see if there was anything special to discover. At that time, when she saw a young woman about twenty years old coming out of it, she thought that Meng An had made a fortune, sold this small yard, and bought a big yard to live in, but she didn't expect to simply move to the shop. I guess it's renting out my yard, and I don't have to spend money to live in the shop and earn some rent. It's really something that stingy Meng An can do!
Wang Jin couldn't help but worry: "Then Brother Dongzi, can the four of you sleep in one room?" ”
Dongzi said calmly: "What does it matter if we have a few big men squeezed, that is, with female dependents, it is inconvenient in many places." Hey, I can't take a shower until I get home when I'm on vacation, it's going to be a little hotter, and we're going to stink to death with a room full of men! ”
Wang Jin looked at his sad face, but his tone did not have too much resentment, so he knew that Meng An should not be too harsh on them, and relaxed a little. She tilted her head and looked at the backyard, and asked curiously, "Will Uncle Meng be at home?" Brother Ming, what about them? ”
"Hey, don't mention it, Meng Dongjia took Brother Da Ming and them to the Cao Gang Helm early in the morning, saying that they were going to visit Lord Zhu Helm. I also wrapped a lot of tea leaves from the shop and brought them over! Dongzi was angry when he talked about it.
Really! Sure enough, there is a connection between them! Wang Jin's heart was shocked and excited, and the conjecture in her heart was finally confirmed. She couldn't help the agitation in her heart and asked, "How could Uncle Meng know the helmsman of the Cao Gang, that's not a character that ordinary people can get acquainted with!" ”
Dongzi said with a bitter face: "That's right, none of us can figure it out." But Meng Dong's family seems to be quite familiar with the helmsman, and he will bring some things to visit people during the New Year's holidays. And every time I have to call a few of our guys, drive the car and fight the horse for him, and run before and after, for fear that others will not treat him as the boss. Look, I'm here again, and I'm the only one left to look at the store! ”
"No, although our tea business is good, it is not the top class in Yangzhou City, how did it get into the eyes of the helmsman?" Wang Jian wondered.
"I don't understand it anymore. I have been to Meng Dong's house twice, and each time the proprietress and her daughter were personally received by Zhu Dong's wife, and even Meng Dong's family went to the house five times to see the helmsman twice. I really don't know where he got into the eyes of others. Dongzi remembered Meng An's stinginess on weekdays, and he always spoke sourly, so he looked down on it in his heart.
There must be something wrong with this! Wang Jian was extremely sure of this in his heart. She chatted with Dongzi for a few more words, and when she saw that a guest came to the door and asked what she should ask, she said goodbye to Dongzi and agreed to come back to see them in a few days.
The scene where she and Dongzi were familiar with the conversation in the tea shop was clearly seen by Xiaolian, who was buying dim sum for Miss Baiwei Zhai opposite. She saw that Wang Jian and the guy were talking happily, and they were pulling and pulling, and she was extremely disdainful. The last time I said something unashamed in the carriage, I would be like a little vixen with a young guy like this. That Jiang Gongzi actually made his own young lady shameless for such an unruly country girl, he was really confused! The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she wanted to rush to Wang Hibiscus on the other side to teach her a good lesson, but she remembered what Miss said that day, so she held back, and only walked towards the tea after Wang Hibiscus left.
