The market is crowded, and there are many more people on Sanyuanfang South Street than usual, most of them are because of today's Dragon Boat Festival and want to watch the dragon boat race. The market is quiet, but it's not unusual. The noodle stall at the entrance of the street is still operating, the old Zhangtou father and daughter are busy greeting customers, today's business is much better than usual, the father and daughter are so busy that they didn't even see Fang Zi'an coming.

"A bowl of spicy Yangchun noodles, a big bowl." Fang Zi'an stood by the steaming stove and smiled.

"The guest officer waited for a while, I'm afraid I'm sorry to wait for the next pot before it will be your turn...... Oops, Fang Gongzi! Chun Nier, who was working with her head down, suddenly found that it was Fang Zi'an standing in front of her, and suddenly exclaimed with a smile on her face.

"It's Fang Gongzi, come and sit down. Daddy was still talking about why the son didn't come. Daddy, Daddy, bring a stool. Fang Gongzi is here. Chunni's face was slightly red, and she shouted at the old Zhang Tou who greeted the guests.

Old Zhang Tou turned his head and saw Fang Zi'an, hurriedly walked over, bowed and said, "Master Fang, Engong, hurry up and take a seat, specially left a stool for Engong." ”

Fang Zi An said: "What kind of father? Don't dare to be. Don't call me that. ”

The old man said, "Why not?" If you hadn't rescued us yesterday, we wouldn't have survived. Eun Gong, of course. Come, please take a seat. Nell cook noodles for Eun Gong. ”

Chunnier hurriedly agreed, glanced at Fang Zi'an, with a happy smile on her face, and quickly threw an egg in the pot.

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly and was speechless, but he didn't argue with Lao Zhangtou, picked up his robe and sat on the stool. Lao Zhangtou smiled beside him: "Engong, thank you so much." I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "What didn't you expect? ”

Lao Zhangtou looked left and right, leaned over and said with a smile: "Engong, how did you tame that Zheng Laoba?" We had just opened the furnace early this morning when he came. Nile and I thought he was looking for trouble. And guess what? He actually came to apologize. He said that he didn't know Taishan with his eyes, and he didn't know that Engong covered our father and daughter, and he was very unkind to us on weekdays. He said he would never come to harass us from now on. Not only that, but he also returned the silver given by Engong yesterday, ten taels of silver, nothing less. ”

As he spoke, Lao Zhangtou reached out and untied the bulging blanket from his waist, handed it to Fang Zi'an: "Engong will take it away, and the things will be returned to the original owner." ”

Fang Zi'an was stunned, and then burst out laughing. This Zheng Laoba is really acquainted, worthy of being a person who has been on the street for many years, and he sees the opportunity very quickly. After what happened last night, Jean should have understood that he couldn't make himself unhappy, because the handle was in his own hands. So he simply solved all the hidden dangers, came to apologize to Lao Zhangtou's father and daughter, and returned the silver. Of course, this is not because he has changed his sex, it is entirely because he clearly understands that he cannot offend himself and must ensure that the events of last night are not leaked, so he did this. In the end, it's for himself.

"Even if he knows each other, these dogs are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and they know that they are powerful when they are beaten by Fang Gongzi. But I don't know if what he says counts, and if he will come to harass us in the future. Chunni said beside her.

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Don't worry, from now on, he won't dare to harass you again." Chunni is right, these people are cheap, they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, and they can't be polite to them. The more we fear them, the more fierce they become. ”

Chunni nodded and smiled: "Childe is right, I will tell Aunt Li and them in a while, the next time you encounter these people to extort money, don't be afraid, fight with them." ”

Lao Zhangtou hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, they don't come to us to ask God to worship the Buddha, and take the initiative to provoke them?" In short, thanks to the help of my father-in-law, my father and daughter were able to eat. Otherwise, they will harass us at every turn, and we really won't be able to live. I talked to Niel the other day, and we all thought about going somewhere else. ”

Fang Zi'an smacked his lips and said: "If this is still the case at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Lin'an City, it may not be better to go to other places." I see that your business is very good, and the pasta made by Miss Chunni is very delicious, in fact, you can live well with one hand. Uncle Zhang, why don't you open a regular store? Set up a stall at the corner of the street, one is limited in scale, and the other is windy, rainy and snowy, and you can't do business. There are many stormy days in Lin'an Mansion, which affect business. Wouldn't it be better to open a noodle shop or a small food shop with a decent face than here? ”

Lao Zhangtou smiled bitterly: "What Childe said is extremely true, but it is naturally the case when it is said, but it is difficult to do." How easy is it to open a shop? The rent of the store is so expensive, and the rent of the ordinary shop is twenty or thirty taels of silver a year, how can it be rented? If you can't make money and still owe a lot of debt, there is no way to live. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded slightly and was silent, Chun Nier and Lao Zhang both shook their heads and sighed, and suddenly saw Fang Zi'an smile and said, "Uncle Zhang, Chun Nier, I have an idea." I don't know if it will work out. ”

Chapter XI

"Whatever Eun Gong wants to say, just say it." The old man said busily.

Fang Zi'an waved his hand and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't call me Engong, it looks awkward." Call me Zi'an. ”

The old man waved his hand and was about to speak, and Chun Ni said beside him: "Daddy, since Fang Gongzi doesn't like to call him that, you can call him Fang Gongzi." If you call Eun Gong...... It seems to be a little raw. ”

The old man blinked and said, "Birth?" Why didn't I feel it? That's it, just call Fang Gongzi, but it's more pleasant. Fang Gongzi's kindness is in his heart, but he doesn't have to talk about it. However, what does Childe have to say? ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "This is a bit presumptuous. That's right, I see that you two are also diligent in business, and you are also very thoughtful in dealing with people. The most important thing is that Miss Chunni's craftsmanship is good, and the guests are full of praise. I've been eating noodles at your house for a year or two, but I can't get tired of it. I really think that your father and daughter should open a shop in a serious way, and the business must be very prosperous. It's 10,000 times better than setting up a stall on the street. ”

Lao Zhangtou interjected: "Didn't I say it? We don't have the money to rent a shop, so we don't have enough to spare. ”

Chun Nier said angrily: "Dad, you teach Fang Gongzi to finish speaking." Why do you always interrupt and interrupt. ”

Lao Zhangtou hurriedly shut up when he heard this. Fang Zi'an smiled: "I know you lack capital, I have some spare money here, I might as well lend it to you to open a store first." I don't want interest or anything, just a favor for you. Besides, it's also for me to eat noodles for myself. You don't go out of the stall on a windy and rainy day, but I don't have anything to eat. ”

Lao Zhangtou was stunned and didn't react for a while. Chuniel on the side exclaimed happily: "That's great, I've been thinking about opening a store for a long time." If so, thank you so much. ”

Fang Zi'an was about to be humble, and Lao Zhangtou shouted beside him: "No! How does this work? ”

Chunnier was stunned and said, "Daddy, why can't it be?" Didn't you also say that you wanted to open a store? ”

Lao Zhangtou reprimanded: "I want to think about it, but it also depends on the situation." We don't have silver as the capital, and we can't open it. Fang Gongzi has good intentions, but how can we use his money to open a store? What is this? We are not related to each other, how can we repay us for receiving such a great favor? This also ...... It doesn't make sense. Why did Fang Gongzi help us so much? ”

The previous sentence is fine, but the latter sentence is exposed. Fang Zi'an heard the meaning of vigilance, the old Zhang Tou is a small person in the market, and it is okay to be bullied and oppressed, but someone suddenly treats him so well, which will inevitably arouse his suspicion. I don't know what he thinks he has in his heart. Or maybe he was a man of duty and would not be so favored.

Fang Zi'an thought for a while and said, "Uncle Zhang, I don't borrow this silver in vain, I also have a request." ”

Lao Zhangtou showed an expression of 'as expected' on his face, and smacked his lips and said: "Young Master Fang, it stands to reason that I shouldn't be ignorant of lifting, but I also want to touch my calves and stomach to see if I have that ability." If you borrow money and lose your capital, won't it make your son unhappy? I can't get over it in my heart, old man. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Don't worry, I mean, just take my shares." I will give you money, and you will give you men and crafts. Let's cooperate to open a store. If you earn an equal share, you lose my money, and you waste manpower, but you don't have to worry about paying back the money. Is this possible? ”

Old Zhang Tou looked at Fang Zi'an blankly for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't it too unfair to Gongzi like this?" Is that okay? Isn't it painful to lose your money? ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Don't worry, no one wants to lose money." Your craft is definitely profitable, and I'm not stupid. I have spare money in hand, but it's better to make some money in the industry, let's work together to make money, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

The old man turned his head to look at Chun Nier, who was full of excitement and joy, and said, "Nier, this is ...... Done? ”

Chuniel exclaimed, "Why not? Although the other son's son is a little unfair, let's take care of it and earn more money to return to Fang Gongzi. Daddy, it's not like you don't know my skills, I don't just cook noodles, but I still know a lot. Cooking cakes, sugar cakes, tea eggs, baked cakes, steamed buns, dumpling soup, what can I not do? ”

The old man smacked his lips and was silent, how could he not know his daughter's craftsmanship. Suffering from the inability to perform, the street stalls can only cook noodles and scones, otherwise the cost is too big and they can't be busy.

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Miss Chunni is right, do it well, make more money, and both of us will benefit." As for me, I only give money, and I don't talk too much, Uncle Zhang is the shopkeeper, I can do whatever I want, I will give some advice at most. It's up to you to take the idea. You will surely earn a lot of silver. ”

Lao Zhangtou is fascinated, he has never been a shopkeeper in his life, if he has his own shop, he is a shopkeeper, it is simply the pinnacle of life, the highest dream. It's hard to resist. Besides, he and his daughter only need to contribute manpower, and the money is not spent, where can I find this good thing? At first, I was worried about whether Fang Zi'an had any plans, but after thinking about it again, I was poor, I had nothing at home, what did others want to do with me? Could it be that Fang Zi'an is plotting Chun Nier's beauty? But isn't that a beautiful thing? People are scholars, and although Chun Nier is handsome and capable, she is just the daughter of an ordinary family. If Fang Zi'an can take a fancy to it, it would be a good thing. Therefore, he actually has nothing to be plotted by Fang Zi'an. It's definitely doable.

"Seriously...... Can you do that? The old man smacked his lips and said, always feeling that this was a little unrealistic.
