Xiao Er saw that the shopkeeper not only gave Mao Yulong half a bucket of rice, but also looked so respectful, he was puzzled, and muttered in a low voice: "So we didn't make some less money?" ”

Xu Jie gently slapped Xiao Er's head: "Short-sighted guy, I'll teach you some insight today." Then while walking inside, he taught: "This Xiucai Gong has become a Xiucai at such a young age, and he has been rumored to be a prodigy by Hangzhou Mansion, but you don't know Guan Qiao." ”

Xiao Er's eyes are bright, if you understand it, maybe your little brother can also benefit, you have to listen carefully.

"In fact, the imperial examination, at this level of Xiucai, does not have to have any real talent, but his style was taken into the heart of the examiner, so he was able to pass the examination. The prodigy said that it was not necessarily, but this little guy must have put a lot of effort into the examiner's essay before the exam, which shows that this son is thoughtful and acts unexpectedly. may be the case, this article's article must be in line with the examiner's taste, so he was named the head of the case and became the smallest talent in Qiantang County, Hangzhou, so he made a statement. And it is precisely because of his young age that he is rare to see in Hangzhou in a hundred years, and he will be remembered by future examiners. In the next exam, I will definitely be able to pass the exam again, so it will be a lifter, which is even our Qiantang County Commander has to come to the door in person to make friends. ”

The guy nodded again and again: "What the shopkeeper said is true." ”

Standing outside the shop and looking at it for a while, Xu Jie walked to the store, but did not return to his backyard house, he put his hands behind his back, greeted the old customer with a smile, looked out of the door with his eyes, and continued to talk to the guy: "And I see that this son looks calm and tranquil, although he has a talent at a young age, and he is famous in Hangzhou, but he is not arrogant and proud, and he will definitely be more diligent in his studies." In addition, he is young, and he is in the good years of studying and progressing, and he will not be able to say that he will be on the rise in the future. After that, we still can't stutter. ”

Xiao Er followed closely and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.

Looking at his clothes, he is the son of a poor family, and he can run for the family's livelihood at a young age, which is rare. At this time, we take out a little insignificant profit-sharing profit, which can be described as a charcoal in the snow, and will definitely be remembered by this little show, once he is in high school, then we will have a lot of convenience, which is always more thankful than when we add icing on the cake. ”

Then he glanced at the guy and saw a hint of disappointment in his eyes, so he slapped him again: "You useless thing, let me say what you do." ”

Then he left him and continued to walk around the store with his hands behind his back, his eyes still looking out of the door from time to time, as if he was expecting something.

After a while, Xiao Er ran over again and reported carefully: "Shopkeeper, that little show is here again." ”

The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and smiled, I really didn't expect that Xiao Xiucai was still a believer, saying goodbye, this will really be goodbye in a blink of an eye. Then he showed a playful smile on his face: "Interesting, really interesting." ”

As he spoke, he stood up in full clothes and greeted him in person.

Mao Yulong looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, and arched his hand as he walked: "Dimi Wudou, the shopkeeper, according to the original price?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled, looked at this little Xiucai's slightly panting and red face, and then looked at the little yellow dog squatting outside, and the shopkeeper smiled and said to the little two beside him: "Tea." ”

Xiao Er saw Mao Yulong's re-handed strip of rice to him, and his heart was full of disdain.

The former one is his own, but this time, he definitely bought it from others, and this kind of thing is common among those who are not bad at money, but it is just a matter of making a liter and a half bucket of price difference by turning the handle, such a thing, when putting rice, he always has this unique grain bank.

But that's what the family pickles do, but you are a showman, and you lost your identity for no reason, didn't you?

Handing over a new strip of rice, Mao Yulong calmly said to the shopkeeper: "There is an old lady and a little sister at home, and there is a small yellow who can eat, which is really unproductive, so make a little difference in price, and ask the shopkeeper to forgive me for a month's food and clothing for the family." ”

When he said this, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was definitely a natural indifference.

Xu Jie took it with a smile: "Like Xiao Xiucai, he can be ambitious at a young age but not arrogant, thinking about his mother and weak sister at any time, I admire such filial piety and thoughtfulness, where do I dare to laugh?" Then he said to Xiao Er: "Go to the counter and withdraw three hundred and twenty yuan to Xiucaigong." ”

When the two of them were talking, Xiao Er took out three hundred and twenty yuan and handed it to Mao Yulong.

Mao Yulong accepted it, and he was not polite, and after saying goodbye again, he left in a hurry.

Seeing a man and a dog disappear into the corner of the street again, Xu Jie pinched his beard and chuckled and muttered: "It's a little interesting, it's really interesting." ”

Then regardless of the inexplicable little er, he still didn't go back to the back, and after returning to the counter again, he continued to crackle and plan to plate, but this time he made a few wrong numbers, and he was really a little absent-minded.

was absent-mindedly calculating, but the little second reported again with a look of disdain and impatience: "Shopkeeper, that little guy is here again." ”

The shopkeeper immediately put down the abacus in his hand and got up suddenly, directly carried the corner of his robe and went out to greet him, walked two steps, and paused: "Hurry up and prepare six hundred and forty yuan to come out." ”

Xiao Xiucai was still sitting on the VIP chair waiting for Xu Jie.

Xu Jie arched his hands from afar and greeted with a smile: "Xiucaigong, welcome." ”

Mao Yulong stood up, saluted the shopkeeper in return, and said with a smile: "It's better to bother, fifteen buckets, nine hundred and sixty yuan." ”

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, but immediately turned around and ordered Xiao Er behind him: "Take another three hundred and twenty yuan." Then he stretched out his hand and asked Mao Yulong to sit down: "I see that it is getting late, and there are already people scattered there, so please sit down." ”

Mao Yulong smiled and shook his head: "There are still two old students waiting for me to pay the money with one hand and take the strip with the other." Then he rushed to the shopkeeper: "Tomorrow your store opens, I will trouble the shopkeeper." When he said this, his face did not have the shame and shamelessness of a literati talking about money and money, and on his face, it was taken for granted.

Xu Jie immediately instructed Xiao Er: "Today, we will close later, and we will close the door after Xiucai Gong has changed the rice grain." ”

Mao Yulong stood up and said with a grateful face: "Then thank you for it." ”

Xu Jie stood up: "I'm waiting for Xiucaigong, see you or leave." ”

Xiao Er really couldn't look down on Mao Yulong's insatiable greed, and snorted fiercely at the back of him and his dog.

As a result, Xiao Huang with his tail seemed to feel it, adjusted his little buttocks, and whispered twice at Xiao Er, as if Xiao Xiu had felt something, but he just turned his head and smiled indifferently at Xiao Er, and then greeted the puppy, and hurriedly walked away.

Xu Jie slapped Xiao Er again: "The dog's eyes look down on people." Then he smiled and didn't look at the aggrieved Xiao Er, just caged his sleeves and stood at the door waiting.
