Chapter 12: Temptation
"Excuse me......" a voice asked in a clear voice.
When the weather is bad, business is not always very good, the guy who is dozing off in the haze shakes suddenly, like a dog falling in the water, shaking the fur can leave a ** sleepiness behind, he stretched out his voice, and smiled all over his face: "Please - "
Hu Shijiu stood outside the door, with a small body, a shabby flower jacket, and the enthusiasm of the guy made her a little embarrassed. "Excuse me, do you need someone here?"
The guy blinked.
People, need! How can you open your door and do business without people?
"What do you want from the guest officer?" The guy smiled reluctantly, this little girl shouldn't be here to eat white food, right?
"No, excuse me, do you need help here?" Hu Jiujiu hurriedly waved her hand, and for a moment, she really wanted to run away, but thinking that Shen Ling at home was still confused, she clenched her fists, tried to raise her innocent little face, and said loudly: "I will do anything!" Very powerful! β
The guy didn't seem to understand what she was saying. With his mouth wide open and his eyes blinking, he turned to look at a tall, thin middle-aged man in his forties at the counter.
The man lowered his head and pulled the abacus, he listened to the conversation between Hu 19 and the buddy, at this time everything was silent, and suddenly there was no follow-up, he raised his sore head, opened his throat and scolded: "Tuesday!" Are you too rich? What teeth is white grinding at the door! β
"Oh! Oooh! The guy nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and the man's broken gong voice behind the counter made him completely sober up, he is also the "chief" guy in this store, is it really a bad business today, otherwise how could he chat with this little girl at the door early in the morning.
In fact, the fox clan is naturally good at charming, but Hu is still young at the age of 19, and she is a human body at this time, and she is even more unwilling to spend time studying here. As a result, the spell was inadvertently stumbled by her.
Hu Shijiu looked like the guy had just woken up from a dream, and he was also a little inexplicable. But looking at the situation, she estimated that the other party did not plan to give her a job, but she was unwilling to leave.
"Shopkeeper," At this moment, a man dressed in an earth-colored robe and holding a dark flower package in his arms slipped in. He first looked around and found that there was only a shabby-dressed child outside the store, and there were only the man behind the counter and the guy who was talking to Hu Shijiu just now.
He couldn't help but frown and walked quickly to the counter. And the shopkeeper, who was still scolding the guy just now, saw the thing in his arms, and hurriedly shouted: "Come!" Be careful! β
After pulling him to the counter again, the man with the package in his arms looked left and right again, and heard the shopkeeper clear his throat: "Tuesday!" You don't have to work anymore? Go and wipe down all the tables and chairs upstairs! It's really a waste of time to raise you on weekdays! β
I felt a little depressed on Tuesday, and almost all the right-hand men in the store today went out with the big shopkeeper to buy goods. It's just him and this mean second shopkeeper left, as well as a few new little followers who don't understand anything.
He agreed, and walked upstairs, only to hear a messy footsteps upstairs, "Look at what!" You don't have to work anymore! Tuesday picked up the gesture of the old man in the store, and was teaching the new guy who had just sneaked out of the second floor to watch the excitement.
The shopkeeper shook his head, he didn't have time to care about Tuesday's inappropriateness at this moment, so he could only hear him lower his voice and say to the visitor: "Is this it?" β
"Exactly!"
With that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The shopkeeper looked around vigilantly, realizing that there seemed to be something irrelevant, he stretched his neck, and found that Hu Shijiu was still standing outside the door and looking in. He immediately pulled down his face, craned his neck and shouted, "Tuesday, are you dead?" The doorway is so dirty! Don't clean me up yet! β
On Tuesday, I just went upstairs, and I heard a thunderous roar from the shopkeeper on the ground, and rushed down with a roll, and saw Hu Nineteen outside the door at a glance. He crossed his arms and walked out the door in a menacing manner. What a little broom star, from the moment she stood outside the door, she was really unlucky to be home today!
No matter how naΓ―ve Hu Shijiu was, he was once a fox who was hundreds of years old. Hearing this, he immediately understood that the other party was referring to Sang and scolding Huai. Before he could walk up to her on Tuesday, he sighed slightly, "What a fragrant almond flavor!" β
As he spoke, he slowly turned his head and walked down the steps of Xinghuafang step by step, and sure enough, there was a sound of hurried footsteps inside, and someone shouted: "Girl, stay!" β
Hu Shijiu stopped and looked at the man who was rushing from nowhere.
"Little girl, what did you just say?" The man who had just come with the package looked at Hu Shijiu incredulously, he should have heard it wrong, right?
"Excuse me, do you need someone to work here?" Hu Shijiu flashed a pair of big eyes, since the shopkeeper has a good eye for this person, it should be the same when he asks him. She asked wistfully.
"This ......," the man coughed dryly. did not answer Hu Shijiu's question positively.
Hu Shijiu looked up at him, and his sparkling eyes slowly became dim. The man couldn't help but think of his little daughter. He asked tentatively, "What did you just say so fragrant?" β
"Oh! It's almonds! Hu Shijiu made a deep breath expression, "Uncle, your almonds are so fragrant!" β
Hearing this, the man couldn't help but lose his color. In the package, it took them a lot of effort to "get" a little koji of "Drunken Immortal Wine" from the opponent's "Drunken Man Building".
According to the news passed on by the guys they placed in the Drunkard Building, they once saw a jar of fine almonds being sent to the secret brewery behind the Drunkard Building.
However, how to use these almonds and how much to put them? But I don't know.
However, the drunken immortal wine has been selling well, and several stewards of Xinghualou have only drunk their confidence after drinking several jars, but they can't drink the recipe in it at all. Even, even the almonds that I have eaten since the guy have not tasted a trace of taste.
At this time, Hu Shijiu's childish words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day in the ears of the steward of Xinghualou!
Even a small child can smell almonds!
Even a child says it tastes like almonds!
Is Xinghualou collectively losing its sense of smell and taste?
Heaven Dead Apricot Blossom Building! Heaven Dead Apricot Blossom Building!
Just when the steward wanted to cry without tears and almost went crazy, the guy who was scolded just now said in surprise on Tuesday: "What are you talking about? Where does the almond flavor come from? β
The man looked at the guy with a disappointed face, Xinghualou is such a fool, how can it be a comeback!
"Idiot! Get the hell out of here! The shopkeeper, who had already been stunned on the sidelines, couldn't help but say and slapped him. Tuesday was in pain, but he was still stunned.
It can't be evil, right?
"Little girl, where are the almonds?" The shopkeeper asked kindly.
Yes, maybe it's a coincidence!
The man regained his senses and glanced at the shopkeeper gratefully.
"That's it!" Hu Shijiu stretched out his slender fingers and pointed at it from afar.
Looking in the direction of Hu Shijiu, the two couldn't help but change color, Hu Shijiu was referring to the package that was not good-looking!
