In the early morning of the second day after moving back to the shantytown, the two Xilin brothers walked around outside the Linglong Pavilion with their hands in their hands.
Today, the two of them have become household names in Maha City. Therefore, Xiao Li and the others also recognized the two of them.
"The shopkeeper, they've been hanging out of our shop all morning." After observing for a morning, Xiao Li realized the intentions of the two guys, so he reported to the night.
"Ignore them." Naturally, Lord Demon Shuai won't take these two pickles seriously.
At noon, the shop was deserted and deserted.
Auntie, they came to deliver food. Although Linglong Pavilion only hired Sanniang and Mei Duoer, the women cherished this job very much. For fear of not doing well, every lunch, they always participate in the whole team and strive to do their best.
In this regard, the night is also open and closed.
Women know who they are. Afraid of causing trouble to the guys, every time they go to the front shop to deliver food, on a hot day, they also wrap themselves tightly, revealing only a pair of eyes.
As soon as the meal was set, they retreated to the backyard. Except for clasping his hands together and saluting, saying "The meal is ready, please use it slowly", and he did not squint from beginning to end, and there was no other word.
Outside the door, Lord Xilin's eyes widened and he smiled: "It's the eldest brother and sister ......" Next to it, the third master of Xilin covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Then. The aunt and the others have retreated to the backyard. Yes, I don't know.
The guys listened to it and looked at the black shopkeeper in unison.
"Eat." The black shopkeeper picked up the rice bowl and, as usual, said lightly.
"Yes, shopkeeper." The men said no more, and bowed their heads to eat.
When the people of Maha City eat, they like to gossip from all over the world. However, the rule of Linglong Pavilion is that food is silent. No matter how important things are, they have to wait until they put down their jobs. Initially. They do find it quite unaccustomed. But. After half a year, they not only fully adapted, but also felt in their hearts that it was better to eat quietly and seriously like this. So, go back home. That's what they demand from their families. After a quiet meal. Make another pot of tea. Blowing the cool night breeze, talking and laughing with the family, I just feel that the years are quiet. It's so pleasant that the tiredness of the day is gone.
After the meal, the guys consciously packed up the dishes, packed them with rattan baskets for delivering rice, and put them at the door behind the shop.
After a while, the aunt and the others will carry them back to the kitchen.
At noon that day, as usual, Mei Duoer waited for the men to return the dishes and chopsticks, and then came over to hand in the needlework. At the same time, ten more needlework kits were bought.
"That's ten pairs of insoles." After Xiao Li finished inspecting the goods, he said with a smile, "They all meet the requirements." After deducting the money for the processing package, there are still twenty copper coins. Little Meiduo, is it still on your account? "The aunt was afraid that they would lose their hard-earned money, so they chose the way of bookkeeping. This is also the most common way to calculate the salary of women who participate in needlework. The reason is very simple, the black shopkeeper personally promised everyone that he would never disclose the account information to a third party. After the incident of Mei Duoer's mother and daughter, Linglong Pavilion is a living Bodhisattva in the minds of women, and more women choose to keep accounts.
Mei Duoer smiled and nodded: "Hmm." Trouble Brother Li. ”
Xiao Li waved his hand, opened the account book, added this pen, and then handed her the quill pen to sign.
Mei Duoer took the pen, and at the back of this account, wrote the word "Mei Duo" one by one. Her full name was originally "Sirinmedo". The little girl thought that the surname "Xilin" was too embarrassing, so she gave it up on her own initiative. She cherished the opportunity to learn from Master Mu, and she worked very hard, and in just a few days, she had learned more than 30 words, and her name was written decently.
Xiao Li nodded approvingly, hesitated slightly, and kindly reminded: "Xiao Meiduo, your uncle and uncle have been walking outside the shop for a morning. It was time for us to have lunch when the two of them left. ”
Although Mei Duoer is young, she is very sensible. Hearing this, her face changed greatly, she thanked her in a panic, and ran into the back of the shop with the processing bag.
After a while, a muffled cry came from the closed hut.
Xiangxiang stood under the eaves, looked in the direction of the kitchen, and touched the night with her elbow: "What should I do?" ”
The night shrugged: "The girl said, this is also a kind of experience." The implication is that Mu Wan has spoken, and he is not allowed to interfere.
So, Xiangxiang pouted and hummed, "Cheaper those two scumbags." ”
The night chuckled: "Don't be impatient." In the girl's place, they definitely don't end well. The girl said she didn't interfere, but she never stopped. Using Da Xilin's words to poke the lung tube of the city lord is exactly what the girl meant. He's just an executor.
These two goods are definitely annoying the girl. Hehe, Lord Demon Marshal had already lit a wax for each of them.
The two Xilin brothers were unaware. Early the next morning, the two of them put on the most decent robes and swaggered into the Linglong Pavilion.
The three iron laws of Linglong Pavilion are placed there. Xiao Li winked and motioned to the rest of the guys to care. He stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and greeted each other with a smile: "Two guest officers, welcome to Linglong Pavilion." Excuse me, is there anything you can do for both? ”
Lord Xilin held his head high and said with a full spirit: "We are here to withdraw money." ”
Xiao Li was confused: "Withdraw money? Two guest officers, are you mistaken? Our Linglong Pavilion is a shop, not a money number. ”
"What! You're trying to get rid of our money! "Lord Xilin was furious.
"Big brother!" The third master of Xilin hurriedly grabbed him and explained to Xiao Li with a smile, "This little brother, I'm sorry. It was my eldest brother who didn't make it clear just now. Aren't our five sisters-in-law working as buddies in your shop? The second brother is gone, and the eldest brother is the head of the family. According to the rules of the city, a woman cannot have private property. Their salary, the eldest brother has complete power. So. Please help us settle the salary. ”
Xiao Li pressed the disdain in his heart, his face was not obvious, he didn't understand, and shook his head blankly: "I'm sorry, the little one is just a guy who sells goods in the store......"
Before he finished speaking, Lord Xilin screamed wildly: "You are such a big shop, you want to lose our salary? It's shameless! ”
If it had been changed outside, Xiao Li would have swung it over with a fist and scolded, "Do you have a face?" But no. He's at work.
Take a deep breath. He held back the anger that was running up. He said as calmly as possible: "Two guest officers, our store is open for business, and we pay attention to treating people with integrity. Are you guys in the store? When did we owe you your salary? If you don't buy anything, please leave quickly. Don't disturb the other guests in the store. ”
In fact. Hit the two brothers as soon as they entered the door. The customers in the store don't care to pick anything. Qi brushed and stared at the two of them.
"Hey, it's really a debt!" Lord Xilin pulled his sleeves and blew his beard and glared. "Little thing, you don't go out to inquire, who is Lao Tzu!"
"So, have you two inquired about what the Linglong Pavilion is?" Xiao Li snorted coldly, like carrying a chicken, grabbed his back collar, mentioned the door, and threw it out, "Get out!" Linglong Pavilion is a serious shop, no wild! ”
Lord Xilin didn't stand still, and rolled on the ground twice in succession.
Xiao Li turned around and looked at the stunned Xilin Third Master.
The latter snorted and held his head in both hands: "Don't! I'm going, I'm leaving! With that, he fled.
"Hahaha...... "Guys are okay. The customers laughed happily one by one.
Mei Duoer was worried that her uncle and uncle would come to look for trouble, so when the shop opened, she hid at the back door of the shop. Seeing the situation in the store, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and ran back to the hut to report the good news to her mothers.
"Amitabha, Buddha bless." The eldest lady folded her hands, choked back tears, and knelt down to the west gratefully.
The other four also turned to the West.
didn't want to, but Mei Duoer stretched out her arms and stopped in front of the eldest mother: "Auntie, the Buddha did not bless us." It was Brother Xiao Li who threw the big bad guy out. We should be grateful to Brother Li. ”
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and nodded incessantly: "Yes, Brother Xiao Li is a good person." We are thankful to him. He, like the shopkeeper and Master Mu, is a good person sent by the Buddha to rescue us. ”
Mei Duoer shook her head vigorously: "The shopkeeper, and Master Mu were not sent by the Buddha." They don't believe in Buddha at all! We don't even have a shrine in the store. ”
"Nonsense!" The eldest lady hurriedly covered her mouth, lowered her voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense." If this word spreads, it will cause great trouble to the shopkeepers. ”
The other four also nodded incessantly, and whispered: "Mei Duoer, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Yes, the shopkeeper is a good man, and he is as kind to us as the sea, so he can't make trouble for him."
When Mei Duoer heard this, she immediately closed her mouth tightly.
In the afternoon, as usual, she went to the inner courtyard.
Linglong Pavilion has always run literacy classes, teaching ten words for a quarter of an hour every day. There is no cost, and if you are willing to learn, you can come to the inner courtyard to learn after work.
In Maha, reading is the right of the elite. The only academy never admits commoner children. So, guys are blind. In Linglong Pavilion, if you are illiterate, you will not be able to place an order, and you will always be able to be a junior buddy, and there is no hope of promotion. Therefore, whether it is a newcomer or the first batch of old guys recruited, they will come to read and write every day after work.
Mei Duoer is very studious, and will arrive a quarter of an hour early every day to prepare tea for everyone and sweep the sand table for practicing calligraphy. It was all of her own volition, and no one asked her to do so.
On this day, after studying, Mei Duoer waited for all the guys to leave, and walked cautiously in front of Mu Wan: "Master Mu, can I ask you a question?" ”
Mu Wan stopped, looked down at her, and asked softly, "What do you want to ask?" ”
Mei Duoer bit her lower lip, lowered her eyes, and said very distressedly: "Mothers said that it is because of the blessing of the Buddha that we can live a good life now." However, I don't think the mothers are right. I don't feel the blessing of the Buddha. Master Mu, is my thinking a great disrespect to the Buddha? Is it a sinful thought? ”
Mu Wan looked at her in a trance. For a while, it was as if I saw my childhood self.
"Flutter" chuckled, Mu Wan said: "Have you lived a good life? What a good day! Six people were crammed into a miscellaneous room with only two small beds, eating only one meal a day...... The blessings of the Buddha are very limited. ”
Meadow understood. She raised her little face in surprise, her eyes were shining, and she was cheering in her heart: Great, Master Mu really doesn't believe in Buddha. No big disrespect! Good people like Master Mu don't believe in Buddha, so I can't believe it!
