Chapter 80: Who is the Owner?
"Ho Kee Restaurant?" Mo Bai held a brush in his hand and looked at the shopkeeper Chen in front of him with some surprise and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, you don't want me to rewrite a signboard for the restaurant, right?" ”
"Yes, that's right, I don't know what is wrong with Brother Bai?" Shopkeeper Chen nodded with a smile, with a little expectation on his face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing that this was the case, Mo Bai couldn't help but have a little surprise on his face, with a little embarrassment, he spread his hands and said: "Shopkeeper Chen can afford to look down on him, of course there is no problem in him." It's just that the Guangui store occupies such a prosperous place, and it is so magnificent, presumably the signboard used must be a famous Mobao, but the first time to come to a small road, nameless and hopeless, how dare you be so arrogant and dare to compare with the famous people, you can't make it, you can't make it! ”
Seeing that Mo Bai not only did not put pen to paper, but immediately excused himself, the shopkeeper Chen not only did not blame, but in his heart he was even more admired for Mo Bai's maturity and courtesy, and he felt that this young man was extraordinary, and this temperament was by no means pretended, so he couldn't help but really make friends.
Shopkeeper Chen waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Bai, don't be presumptuous, just with your handwriting, sooner or later you will be amazed, Brother can invite you to a pair of ink treasures today, it is really a great blessing!" ”
"This, Shopkeeper Chen must not say this, it is really embarrassing...... Mo Bai shook his head again and again, not daring to be in charge.
Therefore, people in this era are still very particular about their actions.
Shopkeeper Chen desperately touted to let Mo Bai write.
And Mo Bai, no matter what, he doesn't dare to excuse himself.
It seems to be red tape, and it takes a lot of effort, but in fact, the Chinese people are polite, and this back and forth is necessary.
If Mobai really didn't say anything, he really dared to write, but this shopkeeper Chen couldn't say that he would think in his heart, whether he was a young man, he was still not calm enough.
After being entangled for a long time, seeing that Mo Bai always refused, it was a decision, this signboard said nothing, Chen Shopkeeper was helpless, and he looked up to Mo Bai a lot, but said in his heart: "This young man must be a strict family teacher, and he must be from a famous family, but I don't know how to fall into trouble to get to this ......"
But he didn't really just brag about it, and seeing that Mo Bai resolutely didn't write at the moment, he had to smile bitterly: "Brother Bai, my brother will tell you the truth, the reason why I asked my brother for a pair of ink treasures today is not for nothing, but for this reason, my brother is really embarrassed to speak......"
Mo Bai's eyes stared at Shopkeeper Chen's face, but seeing that he seemed to have another reason, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and also showed a little wry smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, this is really not hypocrisy, it is really ...... Ay! Since the elder brother really needs it, he has to be thick-skinned. I'm afraid that the reputation of your restaurant will be ruined, and then I can't afford it! ”
After speaking, Mo Bai hugged his fist at the shopkeeper Chen, dipped the brush in ink, and looked reluctant.
"Well, brother, take it slowly, since you have said this, fortunately I will tell you the reason." Seeing Mo Bai's reluctance, the shopkeeper Chen was afraid that Mo Bai would not be happy, but he had mistaken calligraphy, so he stretched out his hand to stop him, and was a little embarrassed by Mo Bai, and a little embarrassed: "Brother, my brother is also like you at first sight, I just hope you don't laugh at your brother......"
"What is this talking about, thank you for seeing, if the elder brother has something, just command, the elder brother will never refuse!" Mo Bai's face immediately turned straight, and even gave the honorific title that he had always insisted on, and officially began to call him brother and brother, and the distance between the two was shortened in an instant, and they became absolute their own people.
Although Mo Bai didn't know what was going on with this shopkeeper Chen, seeing that he had this opportunity to help here many times, he would not be reluctant in his heart.
When Shopkeeper Chen heard this, his heart suddenly felt a little more comfortable: "Brother Bai, please take a seat!" ”
It seems that these words are not short, Mo Bai is also good, hugged his fists, and sat next to the shopkeeper Chen.
After pouring tea again, the two of them were polite, and the shopkeeper Chen said with a little bitterness on his face, and a little helplessly: "Brother may not know, I have been working in this He Ji Restaurant for almost ten years, and I have been conscientious in these years, but fortunately, I have never made a big mistake, and I have barely made this restaurant business prosperous......
Mo Bai didn't interrupt, let him tell, and after a while, he understood the whole thing.
It turns out that if this shopkeeper Chen didn't make a mistake, as long as the restaurant was still there, then he should still be able to work as a shopkeeper in this restaurant for ten years.
The treatment here is needless to say, of course, the shopkeeper Chen will not be unwilling, but it's just that there are unforeseen circumstances, just some time ago, his position was finally looked at, he heard the rumors, just last month, there was another deputy in the store, although it was not explicitly said, but the shopkeeper Chen was worried that this was the owner of the family to send someone to replace it.
According to the shopkeeper Chen, this is not because the owner is dissatisfied with him, but because there are villains around him.
And although he didn't say who his owner was, Mo Bai was secretly in his heart, just listening to his tone, he knew that the identity of the owner of He Ji Restaurant was probably not simple.
Because in the mouth of the shopkeeper Chen, this He Kee Restaurant, which occupies such a luxurious area, has only been here once in the years he has been the shopkeeper, and it is obvious that this is just a dispensable industry for him.
Mo Bai's eyes flashed slightly, and he had a feeling in his heart that the owner of this restaurant might be an official figure.
"The reason why I asked my brother for a pair of ink treasures is actually because the owner is very fond of calligraphy, and he is simply obsessed with it, and when he saw Brother Bai's calligraphy today, he was immediately amazed, and he was really not inferior to the famous ......," Chen continued.
Need we say anything more?
Needless to say, it is obvious that this shopkeeper Chen wants to write a signboard in Mobai, so as to ask the owner if he can change the signboard, if the real owner really likes the ink treasure he offers, then needless to say, its position is naturally sitting.
Even if you don't like it, it doesn't matter, it's just a good thing to show up in front of the owner and leave an impression, it's better than being robbed of your position and having nothing to do.
But this means this, the shopkeeper Chen naturally wouldn't say that, I saw him look at Mo Bai, hugged his fists and said in a deep voice: "If the elder brother can help the elder brother with this favor, the elder brother will definitely remember this kindness, and he will not let the elder brother suffer, and ......"
Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Chen suddenly had a gleam in his eyes, looked at Mo Bai and said: "This matter is not harmful to the elder brother, if the owner really takes a fancy to your Mobao...... Brother's signboard might really be hung up! ”
"Why did the elder brother say this, thanks to your care, so that the younger brother has a place to stay, such kindness, the younger brother is worried that there is no place to repay. If you know the reason for this, as long as the old brother does not dislike it, he will naturally go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up, go, this will be written for the old brother! Mo Bai stood up, his expression solemnly clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
Shopkeeper Chen's face was full of emotion: "That...... Brother won't say more, please leave everything to my brother! ”
The two brothers and friends came to the desk again.
But seeing Mo Bai inhaling and concentrating, it was obviously twelve points solemn, and he didn't dare to have the slightest slackness, which made the shopkeeper Chen even more happy in his heart.
I saw Mo Bai find a good feeling, and did not hesitate, immediately started to splash ink, but saw the pen wandering, like a dragon and a tiger leaping.
Four big characters, with extraordinary momentum, jumped on the paper.
"Good, good!" Shopkeeper Chen's eyes suddenly flashed, and he clapped his hands in admiration.
However, after writing, I saw that the ink white momentum did not fall, the pen style was not closed, and he did not raise his head to speak, so he directly left the word "evergreen" at the bottom of the ink treasure.
Shopkeeper Chen saw that the handwriting had fallen in an instant, but he didn't interrupt it soundly, but glanced at Mo Bai with his eyes, and said in his heart that this young man was so keen.
But I didn't want to ink white, but the pen did not stop, and several handwritings appeared one after another.
"Evergreen book, give it to the shopkeeper Chen!"
Shopkeeper Chen snorted slightly, and his face was about to speak: "This, Brother Bai...... Well? ”
However, before the words could be spoken, they suddenly paused again.
Obviously, he originally wanted to dedicate this pair of words to the owner, but if he kept this line of words, it was obvious that he would not collect it for the owner.
But it was only for a moment, but he understood the meaning of Mo Bai again, indeed, leaving him the three words of the shopkeeper Chen was really the best way to help him.
In this way, whether the owner likes it or not, he may remember the three words of the shopkeeper Chen......
"Brother Chen, take a look, is it feasible, I only have this ability in the future!" Mo Bai put down the pen in his hand, and his face recovered a little bit and said a little more impressively.
"Wonderful, wonderful! This ink treasure of my brother definitely deserves the title of a famous artist...... Don't say anything, don't repay the kindness, the elder brother will remember the friendship of the elder brother! Shopkeeper Chen looked at Mo Bai and was affectionate.
……………………
……
The sun had set in the west, and Mo Bai still sat quietly at the table, watching the people in the street as if it were morning.
There is no doubt that the Jishi Medical Hall opposite is still very busy, and he has a quiet afternoon here.
Mo Bai was obviously very patient, he sat quietly in his chair, waiting quietly, and thinking about the ink treasure from time to time.
I was a little curious about what kind of character the owner of He Ji Restaurant would be, but he didn't really think that with a pair of words, he could really do something?
Even if people love calligraphy, who will really help you do something unconditionally because they like a pair of characters?
This is undoubtedly a fantasy, for the real powerful, even if it is a life-saving grace, it may not be able to help you with all their might, they have to consider the entanglement of interests.
But even so, for today's Mo Bai, if he can find a breakthrough and get in touch with some characters, it will naturally be good for his current situation.
Isn't the background relationship built step by step?
As a healer, there is always a time when you can help others, even if they are powerful......
The sun is gradually setting in the west, and it looks like the day is about to be done.
Xiao Er in the restaurant had already come out to invite him and asked him if the wine and food were ready, whether he would deliver it to his room or eat at the bottom.
Yes, he doesn't have to go back to the inn today, Shopkeeper Chen has already left an upper room for him here.
I was worried that if the owner was going to summon me at any time, I didn't have to look for people everywhere.
Of course, Mo Bai has no opinion, it is actually safer for him to live here.
As for the things in the inn over there, Tetsuo will clean it up.
Seeing today, it is estimated that it is a futile, Mo Bai is ready to close the stall, the tables, chairs and benches, but borrowing the light of the restaurant, there is no need to clean up, according to the shopkeeper Chen, and rest assured, no one will move.
Just roll up the flag.
"The No. 1 medical center in the world? That's not a small name! He was turning to hold up the flag, but suddenly he heard a voice from behind him.
