Chapter 40 [What's Wrong with the Eldest Lady]
From the north and south wine shops to the account manager, and down to the chef Xiaoer, they have been very excited for the past two days, and they all have confident smiles on their faces. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info shop Xiaoer Xiaoliuzi is even more swept away the decadence of the past, walking tiger and tiger, even wiping a table is harder than in the past, eager to wipe the table off a layer of skin.
There's a reason for that, of course.
Two months ago, the eldest lady said that she was coming, but then she didn't come, saying that there was something to deal with and it would be delayed for a month.
Who knew that after a month, the eldest lady jumped the ticket again, making everyone who stretched their necks happy again.
Things in the world are often like this, just like waiting for a bus, when you wait until the earth is desolate, it will not come, but inadvertently, when you don't have any expectations, it comes.
Yesterday, the eldest lady came silently, without any advance notice, originally the county town brought a letter over, asking the second lady to go back to the county, who knew that when the second lady came back after going to the county, the eldest lady also came with her. And as soon as the eldest lady arrived at the shop, she gathered everyone in the shop, and said to everyone with a smile that the things in the county town were basically dealt with, and it should take root in the orange fragrance post for a long time in the future.
Isn't that exciting?
Of course, it's not that the second lady is bad, but in comparison, the shrewd eldest lady is really more reassuring. The shop has been in operation for so long, and it has not improved, everyone is a little discouraged in private, the second lady is also working hard, this guy can see so many pairs of eyes, but doing business is not just hard work, at this moment, the arrival of the eldest lady is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for everyone.
No, as soon as the eldest lady came, she brought a brand new sauce. Yesterday I tried it, the guests rushed to buy it after eating, the price was simply impossible to refuse, but the eldest lady actually smiled and said that it was not for sale, and the guest increased the price, the eldest lady smiled on her face, saying that it was not a matter of price, this sauce was not sold for the time being, and if you wanted to eat, you could only eat it in the shop. Although everyone thinks it's a pity, presumably the eldest lady must have her reasons for doing this.
Although Xiao Liuzi didn't know why the eldest lady of the copper sent to the door didn't make money, he couldn't ask about this kind of thing, and everyone obeyed any decision made by the eldest lady unconditionally, and there was no need to explain it to anyone. But in any case, Xiao Liuzi felt that this must be a good thing, at least it was some kind of subtle change - the change brought by the eldest lady seemed to release some kind of exciting signal.
The eldest lady is not only intelligent, but more importantly, she is also a very hardworking person. After a tiring journey, she rested for a night, and the next day she got up early in the morning, and took the account books of the past few days to look through them carefully--it was a thick stack, and it took Uncle Qi a long time to sort it out last night.
When Xiao Liuzi came to the shop after washing and eating, he wanted to open the door of the shop, and found that the door had already opened, and the eldest lady was already sitting at the counter, and she had already read half of the account book.
By the time the sun rose and shone in front of the shop, the eldest lady had read all the thick stacks of books, and had made many marks with a pen.
Xiao Liuzi casually found a stool and sat down alone, looking at the more and more people outside the door in a daze. It's not that he's lazy, it's not yet time, and there are usually no guests coming to the door, but he doesn't dare to make a noise, and it's too much of a sin to disturb the eldest lady.
But after that, Xiao Liuzi was a little incomprehensible.
After reading the stack of books, and making marks in some places, the eldest lady lowered her head and pondered for a while, and when she looked up and saw him sitting in the shop, she beckoned him, called his name, and told him to go and get something.
Xiao Liuzi ran over neatly, but after listening to the eldest lady's instructions, an unbelievable expression suddenly appeared on his face, and after thinking about it, he still stubbornly said: "Miss, I ...... those bricks I don't know if it's still there. ”
Chen Ruolan folded the account book in her hand neatly, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I went to the stable to see it as soon as I came back yesterday, and it was still piled up in the corner." You get a sack, get a damp cloth, scrub the bricks, and bring them to my room. ”
Xiao Liuzi was still hesitating, and Chen Ruolan said again: "Go Brother Liuzi, I'll help you watch the shop first, and you can send the things to the door of my room and then come over." ”
The eldest lady's voice is really good, and a "Brother Liuzi" called the little sixth son's heart warm, I haven't seen her for a few months, the eldest lady is still so approachable, with such a host, it is worth making less money.
"Okay then." Xiao Liuzi was helpless, put the cloth towel on his shoulder in the corner of the counter, turned around and lifted the curtain, and walked in the direction of the stable.
"What's wrong with the eldest lady?" Thinking of her solemn look, Xiao Liuzi couldn't help but mutter.
When I woke up early in the morning and read the account book, shouldn't there be other more important things to do? Why did you suddenly remember those broken bricks?
Thinking of those bricks, Xiao Liuzi wanted to laugh a little. About this, everyone was happy for a long time in private. For a while, as long as Daddy Yang was not there, everyone would secretly joke about it, and as long as anyone mentioned a brick, everyone would laugh without exception, and then someone - Bacheng was Chef Li, shouting in his yin and yang strange voice: "Come and buy, come and buy, a brick for a hundred coppers...... Don't miss the ...... as you pass by," and everyone laughed until their stomachs hurt. Once, when he was smiling happily, the curtain suddenly opened, and Father Yang asked blankly, "What's wrong with you?" What are you laughing at? ”
Then the expressions on everyone's faces were suddenly wonderful.
The bricks that had brought laughter to the lives of the people in a strange way had finally been forgotten and had been thrown in a corner of the stable, long covered with dust and two covered with cobwebs.
Xiao Liuzi found a piece of cloth, put it in a wooden barrel and wrung it, wiped it piece by piece, and whispered something while wiping it.
Soon after, a sack full of bricks appeared at the door of the eldest lady's room in the backyard. Sister Xiaocui, a maid who happened to pass by, stopped when she saw the struggling appearance of him carrying the bag before, and when he threw the bag down, he heard the sound of heavy objects crashing, Xiaocui stepped forward more curiously, opened it and took a look, the look on his face was obviously a little surprised, and then he loudly counted whether he had sent it to the wrong place. Xiao Liuzi explained for a long time, saying that this was what the eldest lady told him to do, but Xiao Cui still didn't believe it, but in the end she had to shrug her shoulders and leave.
