"A thousand words may be able to read everything"

"I can recognize hundreds of words," replied the third child.

The middle-aged woman Xiulian's tea Shanshan came late and put three teas on their respective coffee tables.

Shopkeeper He sat back in the Taishi chair, "Drink tea, drink tea". After finishing speaking, he picked up the tea, gently brushed the tea foam with the tea lid, took a sip, put down the tea bowl and said, "Fourth, I think this kid is an honest man, what is the business situation of Yu Hutchison this year, you also know that the manpower cannot be increased." ”

When Du Si and Xiao Sanzi heard this, they were disappointed for a while, thinking that they were afraid that they would be beaten with chickens and eggs, and listened to the shopkeeper's words, "Fourth, with your relationship with the old boss, you can ask the old boss for help."

"Hey, hey, shopkeeper, look at what you said, who are we? Who is the old club? Besides, the old club is older, so I don't dare to bother the old club's cleanliness about this matter. Besides, no one inside or outside the Hutchison Tea House doesn't know that you have the final say, and you have to take care of all the big and small things."

The old owner of Yu in the mouth of the shopkeeper He, named Yu Zhenyue, when he was young, he was very uneven, righteous and cunning, and he was also a bastard character in the township. Later, the Taiping Army rose up, marched into Hunan, disturbed the land of Sanxiang, had no livelihood, and was ruthless, leaving the doll and wife who had just turned one year old, and took a group of fellow villagers to go to Zeng Guofan, who was worried about running a regimental training in the township. After the suppression of the Hongyang Rebellion, the imperial court was afraid of the military power in the hands of Zeng Guofan, and Zeng Dashuai unexpectedly disbanded the Hunan army, which reassured the imperial court. Yu Zhenyue has fought all his life, and he is also physically and mentally exhausted, he no longer has a complete piece of skin on his body, and there is not one of the Jingning villagers he brought with him, and it is a miracle that he can survive. After the disbandment of the Hunan army, with some rewards over the years, the property looted by the Taiping Army, together with the fictitious titles of the registered general soldier and the martial arts general rewarded by the imperial court, returned to Jingning, bought a house and land, founded the Yu Hutchison Tea House, as well as restaurants, pharmacies and other industries.

And the father of the shopkeeper of He, is also one of the fellow villagers who defected to the army with Yu Zhenyue, but the luck was not good, he died early, just two years of fighting, he died in the chaos, neither meritorious service, nor much pension, after returning to Zhenshan to see that his family was in difficulty, he took him to Yu Hutchison, from the apprentice all the way to the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper He smiled, picked up the tea, took another sip, and said, "I have a job here, but I don't know if San'er can suffer or not." ”

"As long as you have something to eat, you can eat any bitterness," Xiao Sanzi said eagerly.

"Good, good, good, good" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "My brother-in-law, that is, the master Zhang of Jingning Mansion, will enter Beijing to participate in the spring of next year to participate in the spring ceremony of the Yimoke Branch, and now there is still a lack of a long follower who picks books, I see that you are also an honest man, and you have the strength to do it, since you can endure hardship, I will take you to my wife and brother to see if it is to his liking."

When Du Si heard this, he stood up suddenly, and said excitedly at a loss, "Oh, oops, this, this, this is really a great thing, a great good thing, San'er doesn't kowtow to the shopkeeper, thank you for the shopkeeper, oops, the shopkeeper, you are so kind, how do you say that you will repay you in the future, raise the master, lift the man's long-term follower, this is a matter of being literate, and you have to burn high incense for the ancestors."

"Little Sanzi, thank you for the shopkeeper's love", after speaking, he kowtowed respectfully three times.

"Hehe, hehehehe, get up, whether this thing can be done or not, I have to show my wife and brother, he agrees, okay, you have also picked more than 200 miles of mountain roads in the past few days, and you are tired, hurry back and rest, I have asked Master Zhang about this matter, and I will give you an answer." After speaking, he picked up the tea cup and brushed the tea foam on the water.

"The shopkeeper, you are busy first, we will go back first, what is the work of carrying water and chopping wood, you will know." After speaking, he made a gesture and led the little third son out of the door.

Xiulian, a middle-aged woman, watched Du Si and the two walk out of the door, came to the hall, and said as she cleaned up, "You won't really explain that black boy to my brother as a long-term follower, right?" ”

"Why not, I think that kid is very honest, and he has a lot of strength, the family has suffered a disaster, just give a stutter, and you don't have to pay the salary, hasn't your brother found a suitable long-term follower? Isn't that great? ”

"Being able to give my brother a long-term follower is a blessing that their family has cultivated for eight lifetimes, eh, I said that you are too attentive to Du Si, this is also tea, and it is for work, doesn't he just look at the door, can he give him such a big face?"

"What do you know, the woman is a family, the hair is long, the knowledge is short, Du Si is a benefactor who is smaller than the son, the old man Yu has always remembered this love, when the New Year's holiday, when the Yu family is less than Du Si's reward, three festivals and two longevity, it will inevitably give Du Si a package of happy money, less than the son 15 years old in Xiucai, in the entire Sanxiang land that can be regarded as the first one, the future is immeasurable, now do not build a good relationship, and when the younger son becomes a home, that is you go to ask him."

The middle-aged woman held her mouth and walked out.

It turned out that 10 years ago, when Du Si was young, in order to sell the Yellow Valley he grew for more money, he picked two burdens of Yellow Valley, walked two hundred miles of mountain roads, and went to the temple fair run in Jingning Mansion to sell it. Coincidentally, my family took my 5-year-old boy to visit the temple fair, and was attracted by a fun monkey man, and when my family didn't pay attention, I slipped out and was abducted by human traffickers. It is equivalent to the family finding out that there are no children, and they are all in a hurry, and there are too many people in the temple fair, and they can't find anything for a while, Yu Zhenshan plans to ask the people of Futai to send out officials to block the temple fair.

Coincidentally, the monkey trafficker ran along the river with the abducted boy Xiaogongzi, intending to leave Jingning. Du Si saw at that time, an adult holding a child, with a monkey, the child kicked and hit, cried and bitten, he knew that he had encountered human traffickers, and he had no intention of meddling in things, but because the riverside road was too narrow, Du Si's burden accounted for half of it, and was scolded by the traffickers, "Look at what to see, good dogs don't stand in the way." aroused Du Si's bloodiness, and he fought with the traffickers and saved Xiao Gongzi.

Du Si took the younger son to the temple fair to find his family, until he met the people of Yufu. Old man Yu did not lose his eldest grandson in his later years.

Afterwards, the old man Yu gave Du Si 100 taels of silver to express his gratitude, seeing that he was an honest farmer, and arranged him to Yu Hutchison Tea House to see the treasury, and asked Mr. Accounts to hand him over to read and write, but Du Si's own dog meat could not be on the table, and he fainted when he saw the words, and he didn't know a few words until now.

Du Si took the 100 taels of silver given by the old man, returned to the countryside to build three blue brick houses, bought a few acres of land, and went to Yu Hutchison to do things, Yu Hutchison Tea House has the largest tea shop in Jingning Mansion, accounting for more than 5 floors of the entire Jingning Mansion tea business, not only in the tea purchase and sales business, but also several large tea mountains. Du Si's work is to lead two people every day, anti-theft, fire-proof, moisture-proof, anti-rat and ant, but also to take care of the family, the work is easy, ICBC is considerable, a few years ago he brought his wife and children into the city, forget to get rid of the life of farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and return to the countryside Daduli Village, which is also the number one person.
