Chapter 123
As soon as the man left, Zhang Tieniu immediately put on a smiling face, and the rough man with a rough voice had to speak in a voice like a little loli, "What kind of cakes do you want to buy?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi trembled when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Tieniu with a bitter face, his eyes transmitted, 'Uncle Zhang, are you okay to speak normally?' 'Why is Zhang Tieniu's customer first, and he doesn't even look at her.
One of the thin-faced aunts felt the same way as Lu Xiaoyi, and reflexively grabbed the basket and shrank back, while the other round-faced aunt laughed, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this person is fine!" The last time I bought cakes, I saw that I had a lot of things, and he helped me send them home, he is a good person! ”
Zhang Tieniu was praised and laughed, this heartfelt joy drove the chest cavity to vibrate, the chest cavity drove the chest muscles to vibrate, and the chest muscles pulled the arm muscles, as if the whole body was electrocuted.
The thin-faced aunt took a step back in fright, and wondered, "Is this cake really that delicious?" Let's go! ”
The round-faced aunt enthusiastically pulled the thin-faced aunt forward, "It's delicious, it's delicious, when he used to sell it on a donkey cart at home, I always bought it!" Now that it has been replaced by a large store, more people are buying! ”
Zhang Tieniu finally finished exhaling the joy in his heart, and said with a light smile: "Auntie, buy that kind of flavor?" ”
Regardless of Lu Xiaoyi this time, even Xiaoding shuddered.
The round-faced aunt said: "Five original sesame seeds." Then he asked the skinny aunt, "How many do you want?" ”
The thin-faced aunt glanced at Zhang Tieniu almost invisibly, "Is it okay for everything?" ”
"Okay, okay! Anything! Zhang Tieniu was very happy, and he took six of all kinds of cakes. Carefully took it out and handed it to the two aunts respectfully.
If it weren't for seeing him rudely smash cakes before, Lu Xiaoyi would have believed that he was a good employee with thoughtful service and customer first.
The two aunts complained again when they paid the money, complaining that the cakes were too expensive, Lu Xiaoyi thought that Zhang Tieniu would throw out a sentence of "love to buy or not", who thought that he smiled and patiently explained: "Auntie, we are all a small business, and the profits are very thin, to tell you the truth, these cakes are also bought from other places." The purchase price has risen, and the selling price has to rise! And. You look at the three newly built shops in our house, large and small, a lot of money has been invested, and I don't know when I will be able to earn it back just by selling cakes. Ay! I'm still waiting for it to make money and marry a daughter-in-law! ”
The thin-faced aunt pointed at Xiaoyi Xiaoding and said, "You two girls are so old." Aren't you an old widower? ”
Zhang Tieniu had a very hurt expression on his face. Hurriedly shook his head and said no, Xiaoyi Xiaoding couldn't help but laugh and explained no.
The skinny aunt believed it. The round-faced aunt came to mend the knife again, and said in surprise: "You haven't married a daughter-in-law yet?" Tsk, I think you're the one who should hold your grandson! ”
Zhang Tieniu suffered great internal injuries, and Sister Xiao Yi sneered out loud, and the round-faced aunt immediately showed an embarrassed smile, "Don't mind, Auntie's eyes are not good." ”
Zhang Tieniu said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm old-looking, and it's common to be misunderstood!" ”
The round-faced aunt felt that Zhang Tieniu had a good temperament, and comforted: "Don't worry, auntie help you pay attention, who has a big girl who can't marry or a little widow who remarries, aunt will help you protect the matchmaker!" ”
Zhang Tieniu smiled, and praised the two aunts as good people, so the good aunts no longer cared about the price increase, paid the money and left with a smile.
Lu Xiaoyi asked Zhang Tieniu, "Uncle Zhang, why are you so fierce to the person who sold cakes before?" The attitude towards the two aunts in the back is very good. ”
Zhang Tieniu said with a smile: "That person has worked in our dart bureau before, and he doesn't care about his attitude if he is familiar, he scolds when he scolds, he roars when he roars, and there are not so many scruples between brothers!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi suddenly, at this time, someone came to buy cakes, and he was busy for a while, Xiaoyi Xiaoding also helped to help, after being busy for a while, Xiaoyi Xiaoding went to the backyard to see Xiao Geng, and saw that he was still hanging and playing on the wooden stake! Lu Pozi Yulan and Dongmei both came out of the east house and walked around the courtyard to breathe.
The men came back from the banquet, it was an hour later, Qi Shan drank so much that his cheeks were red and he was supported by Qi Feng and the remaining grain, Lu Zhong wanted to drive back to the village, he didn't drink much, but Lu Shouzeng and Lu Yong drank a little floating.
Lu Zhong wanted to say goodbye, but Qi Shan didn't let him, and after getting drunk, he raised his voice like a drum, pulled Lu Zhong and said: "Brother Lu, big brother told you something from the bottom of my heart, today is the happiest day I have been in these years, and it is also the day when I really dare to let go of drinking, do you know why?" ”
Lu Zhong shook his head, and Qi Shan smiled: "Because I am finally worthy of my wife, I will never let her worry about me anymore!" Yes, yes! Finally, I don't take that dart road anymore, and I can finally live a peaceful life, thanks to your help! Brother, I thank you! ”
Lu Zhongcheng said: "Don't dare to be, Brother Qi, let's help each other!" ”
Qi Shan laughed, "Brother Lu, don't be in a hurry to leave, let's drink a few more jars in the evening, and rest when we get drunk!" ”
There was no one at home, where was the Lu family willing to stay for a long time, insisted on leaving, Qishan wanted to stay guests, and there was a stalemate, but Qi Feng persuaded: "Dad, don't embarrass Uncle Lu, the coming day is long, Uncle Lu has the opportunity to drink with you!" Otherwise, it's rare for the aunts to go into the city and let Uncle Lu take them out for a walk, the grandfather of the Lu family and the uncle of the Lu family are drunk, just let them rest for a while, and when Uncle Lu comes back from shopping, they will return to the village together. ”
Qi Shan thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he asked Qi Feng to arrange it.
So, Mrs. Lu's son, Yulan Dongmei, and Xiao Yi and them got into the Qi family's carriage together, led by Qi Feng, escorted by Lu Zhong and Yu Liang, and slowly went to the prosperous city.
The most prosperous thing in Yifu City is the East Street and West Street, there are bustling people along the way, the countrymen don't have so many taboos, and Mrs. Lu doesn't have it, she lifted the curtain and looked out curiously, "Tsk, so many people are so lively!" ”
Qi Feng said: "Granny Lu, come down and take a look?" ”
Mrs. Lu nodded, "Since you're here, let's come down and take a look!" ”
Qi Feng was very familiar with West Street, turned to a vehicle storage office, paid two cents to get a numbered plate, and then took the Lu family to go shopping.
It is true that Mrs. Lu likes to see the excitement, and it is not false that she feels sorry for her grandson, so she grabbed Xiao Geng's hand tightly as soon as she got out of the car, for fear that she would be abducted by a kidnapper if she was not careful. Lu Zhong laughed at her for being too nervous, and Mrs. Lu scolded Lu Zhong with a dark face, until Lu Zhong put Xiao Geng on his shoulder, and Mrs. Lu was relieved.
West Street is still so prosperous, Lu Xiaoyi has not been here for a long time, but he can still feel the unique atmosphere that belongs to West Street, passing by the restaurant where he used to eat rice oil tea, and found that he has changed his face, and now he should do grocery business.
Lu Xiaoyi was a little stunned, why did such a delicious rice oil tea close the door, she still wanted to eat it again with the rest of the grain. Suddenly, seeing that Yu Liang was also looking over there, as soon as the two met their eyes, they looked at each other and smiled knowingly, and Lu Xiaoyi's mood improved again.
Lu Zhong said: "Mother, I went out today with money, if you want to buy anything, just ask." ”
"Ouch, it's a blessing, and the world's favorite thing to hear is this sentence!" Seeing that her son was so filial, Mrs. Lu smiled on her face and said, "If you want to buy things, you really want to buy everything, but you have to spend money to buy things." Glancing at Xiao Geng, "Forget it, save it for my grandson!" ”
Qi Feng interjected: "Granny Lu, just say what you want to buy, Uncle Lu is now in charge of Lu, not bad money!" ”
Lu Zhong smiled, "What nonsense, I'm just a cake seller." ”
Yulan said to Lu Zhong: "Since we are here, let's go to Buzhuang!" It's autumn, so it's time to buy some cloth to make some autumn clothes for your family. ”
Lu Zhong nodded, and asked Qi Feng about the cloth village, and Qi Feng pushed the most famous He cloth village on West Street.
According to Qi Feng, this cloth village was newly opened last year, although it is not as good as those time-honored shops that have been doing cloth business for generations, but the goods are complete and varied, and treat customers equally, whether rich or poor, noble or slut, as long as they step into the store, the clerk will warmly receive them, until they buy the goods they want, one year, He's cloth village will be prosperous, and the limelight has overshadowed the largest Fuxi cloth village in Yifu City.
Yulan was very happy to hear this, and said, "There is still such a shop?" Husband, have you ever heard of it? ”
Lu Zhong shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of it, our family buys less cloth, and it's normal to not know about the newly opened shop, even if you hear about it, thinking that it is a famous cloth village in the city, you will feel that we poor people can't get in, let alone go to find out." ”
Yulan was a little regretful, "It's a pity, I knew that this family was good, and I didn't go to those shops where people are low." ”
Qi Feng said: "Auntie, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, why are you angry about these people." Today happens to have an opportunity, let's go to He's Cloth Village to have a look. ”
Lu Xiaoyi listened silently, full of curiosity about He's Cloth Village, and wanted to see the Cloth Village that treats customers equally.
Qi Feng led the way, a group of people to the West Street to the top of the head, far away to see a huge signboard banner waving in the wind, on the book four thick ink characters, is He's cloth village, along the signboard banner down, is the spacious cloth village gate, in and out of the customer regardless of whether to buy cloth or not, all with a happy face.
Sure enough, as soon as the Lu family stepped into the store, a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe immediately greeted him, bowed to the Lu family, smiled kindly, and introduced himself: "Welcome to He's Buzhuang, you can call me Lao He." ”
Lu Zhong politely returned the salute, "I am a rough man in the countryside with the surname Lu Mingzhong, and I came to He's Cloth Village for the first time, and I bothered Uncle He to help recommend a few fabrics suitable for small families. ”
Qi Feng and Yu Liang also handed over their hands to report to their homes, Lao He nodded with a smile and agreed, and respectfully invited the Lu family to go to the counter on the west side of the store.
Lu Xiaoyi turned around and looked at the east counter, only to see that most of the customers there were Qiluo, and then looked at the west counter, most of them were cotton and linen clothes. It turns out that this store is not a pure rich and poor one, but a partition sale, the only thing worthy of praise is that the service attitude is really good. (To be continued......)
