Besides, Zhang Shuting, since that day, he went to see Wang Qintang with Qi Zhankui, and Wang Qintang asked him to avoid it. He had no choice but to avoid it. But what he never expected was that the matter was resolved so smoothly, it was like a quick knife cutting through the mess. For a while, I realized that this new governor was different from the previous governors.

However, at this time, Zhang Shuting's attention was not on the new governor. Seeing that Qi Zhankui had terminated the contract with the North Burning Pot, he didn't say a word, so he immediately wrote a letter of appointment and sent it to Xiaoqizhuang, hiring Qi Zhankui as the shopkeeper of the South Burning Pot Store. When Qi Zhankui saw it, he immediately responded.

To say that Qi Zhankui has no feelings for Nan Yao Guo is also nonsense. Qi Zhankui apprenticed with his father Qi Lao Shopkeeper in the South Burning Pot at the age of twelve, and left the South Burning Pot at the age of twenty-seven, and he worked in the South Burning Pot for fifteen years, although he was just a guy, but it was longer than the time he worked as a shopkeeper in the North Burning Pot. If it weren't for the impulse back then, he had to go to the north to do what the shopkeeper was, a few years later, his father Qi Lao shopkeeper told the old man to return to his hometown, maybe the shopkeeper of the South Pot Shop was his. Regarding this point, it is also nonsense to say that Qi Zhankui went to the north to burn the pot and did not regret it.

The key is that Qi Zhankui also saw that Zhang Shuting invited him to be the shopkeeper of the South Pot Shop, which was completely sincere. It was precisely because he saw Zhang Shuting out of sincerity that Qi Zhankui immediately responded, and the reason was here.

Let's make a long story short, just talking about the day Qi Zhankui took office, although in front of the store, after three poles in the day, there began to be a series of wine-pulling vehicles, but early this morning, I saw that the guys in the store were still early in front of the store, and seven lanterns made of thick bamboo and red silk were hung out.

And I saw these seven lanterns, each of which was two floors thick and three feet long. Not only did he look tall, but he also saw seven lanterns, and they were strung with a great red silk cloth. For a while, in front of the already lively South Burning Pot Shop, there was a sudden increase in festivity.

Having said that, some people must ask: When a shopkeeper comes to take office, is it so exciting to hang lanterns? And why are there seven lamps hanging at once, and then they are strung with red silk? Supposedly, not really. But according to the rules of the Zhang family's ancestors, such lanterns, in addition to the New Year, must be hung on the day to welcome the new shopkeeper of the store. The seven lanterns represent the seven Runquanyong pot wine shops in Baoding City, Daimyofu, Hejian Mansion, Shunde Mansion, Zhengding Mansion, Beijing City, and Tianjin Weiqi. In other words, the hanging of the seven lanterns means that as a new shopkeeper, he must not only manage a pot shop, but also manage the seven liquor shops in other places.

Of course, in the distance, the seven liquor shops set up in other places in the south pot did not exist from the beginning. And the wine shops set up in other places were not seven at the earliest, but two. These two were first set up in Baoding City City God's Temple and Beijing City Dashilar, two shops, in front of the door hung an embroidered "Runquanyong" three words, and a big "wine" word wine banner. It is precisely because of the establishment of these two liquor shops that it not only made Runquanyong Shaoguo Liquor famous in Baoding City and Beijing City, but also earned more silver than buying wine locally.

At the end of the year, Zhang Shuting's ancestors not only sealed a few more silver for the shopkeeper, but also for the Spring Festival of this year, because of happiness, but also for a happy picture, Zhang Shuting's ancestors also specially found someone to make two large lanterns with coarse bamboo strips of red silk cloth, and hung them in front of the store. In the future, every year in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, two such large lanterns will be hung in front of the shop hall of the South Burning Pot.

Later, the shopkeeper returned to his hometown, and the new shopkeeper took office, which coincided with the Spring Festival, and the two big lanterns were still there. At that time, Zhang Shuting's ancestor greeted the newly appointed shopkeeper in front of the store, and when he spoke, he also pointed to two special large lanterns and said:

"These two big lanterns are still the old shopkeeper of the former shop who opened wine shops in Baoding and Beijing, and after earning more silver, I specially found someone to make them to celebrate."

When the new shopkeeper heard this, he thought that the owner was hinting at him with words, so he hugged his fist at Zhang Shuting's ancestor and said:

"I am also willing to open two more liquor stores in other state capitals for the owner, and if he earns a lot of money at that time, the owner can hang two more red silk lanterns to celebrate!"

When Zhang Shuting heard this, of course he was happy, so he said briskly:

"It's a deal!"

Later, the new shopkeeper really opened wine shops in Zhengding Mansion and Hejian Mansion, and also earned more silver than buying wine locally. By the end of the year, Zhang Shuting's ancestor not only sealed more silver for the new shopkeeper, but also did not eat the preface, and from this year on, he also hung four red silk lanterns in front of the store. Not only hung out four big red silk lanterns, Zhang Shuting's ancestor also pushed through the old and brought forth the new, after the New Year, when the shopkeeper returned to work in the store, he also hung up on the four red silk lanterns, and tied a big red silk to show the welcome to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was more loyal to the Zhang family.

Since then, Zhang Shuting's ancestor has also set such a rule: not only after the Spring Festival every year, the shopkeeper comes to work in the store, the Zhang family has to hang the lantern, and then tie a red silk to show the welcome to the shopkeeper, whenever the shopkeeper is newly hired, if the New Year's Festival has just passed, a red silk is now tied on the hanging lantern, if it is not the New Year's Day, not only hang the red silk lantern, but also tie the red silk to welcome the new shopkeeper. At this time, seven lamps were hung out, of course, it means that there are seven wine shops in other state capitals of Nanyao Pot.

However, of course, such things will not happen often, you think about it, Qi Zhankui's father Qi Lao shopkeeper, as a shopkeeper in the South Burning Pot Shop Hall, a few decades, in the past few decades, the South Burning Pot Shop has never hired a new shopkeeper, and later, his father Zhang Shumao "shoulder-picked" and no longer hired the shopkeeper, on weekdays, it is naturally difficult to see the scene of hanging a red silk lantern in front of the South Burning Pot Store.

Without further ado, let's get down to business. Although at this time, in front of the store, the wine trucks were continuous, as lively as ever, the guys went in and out, shouting one after another: "Dabeilou Li's deeper wine is clear!" Or: "Nancheng Zhao Luojiu's wine is clear!" Or: "Yu Jiazhuang Yu Laocai's wine, owe a sip of pottery altar!" "Shout here, and then listen to the big guy Lao Sun shouting again, "Dabeilou Li is more drunk!" Or: "Nancheng Zhao Luojiu's wine is clear!" Or: "Yu Jiazhuang Yu Laocai's wine, owe a sip of pottery altar!" ”……

But as soon as the carriage that took Qi Zhankui arrived, all the shouts stopped abruptly; Not only did the shouting stop, but I saw the men coming in and out of the store, putting down their belongings and rushing to the carriage. At this time, Zhang Shuting, who had been waiting in the store, also hurriedly greeted him, and saw that Zhang Shuting had just come out of the store, and then heard the courtyard behind the store, followed by seven roaring sounds. In order to solemnly welcome the arrival of the new shopkeeper Qi Zhankui, the seven rings of the gun can be regarded as the innovation of Zhang Shuting, the young owner of the South Burning Pot.

When Zhang Shuting led the guys in the shop and walked quickly to the carriage where Qi Zhankui was sitting, he saw Zhang Shuting hugging Qi Zhankui and saying:

"Zhang Shuting and all the guys in the Runquanyong Pot Shop, welcome to the arrival of Shopkeeper Qi!"

All the guys in the store also clasped their fists at Qi Zhankui:

"Welcome Shopkeeper Qi!"

Besides, Qi Zhankui had already jumped out of the carriage at this time, but he had never seen this kind of formation, his face couldn't help but flush with excitement, and he also excitedly hugged Zhang Shuting and the guys in the store:

"Zhang Dongjia and the guys greeted Zhan Kui like this, but Zhan Kui was really flattered!"

Zhang Shuting rushed into the air and hugged his fist again:

"The Zhang family's ancestors have such rules, and Zhang Shuting doesn't dare to disobey them!"

After that, he said solemnly:

"From now on, the Qi and Zhang families are a family, and the family does not have to speak two words, from now on, the Runquanyong Burning Pot Shop and the wine shops will rely on the service of the Qi shopkeeper!"

This Qi Zhankui is also a bold person, Zhang Shuting likes him, and the fundamental reason may be here. Seeing Zhang Shuting say this, he said boldly:

"Although the Zhang Dongjia can rest assured, since Qi Zhankui agreed to come to the south to burn the pot, he will definitely do his best to serve the owner!"

Zhang Shuting hugged his fists again:

"That's good, please in the shopkeeper Qi's shop!"

Qi Zhankui also said:

"Zhang Dongjia, please first!"

At that time, these county enterprises in China did not hold a welcome meeting to welcome a CEO-like figure. In this way, with a word, Qi Zhankui can be regarded as officially taking office.

But where did they know that their words had already been heard by one of the people in the crowd. This person is none other than a young man surnamed Gou in the North Burning Pot. I saw this young man surnamed Gou, and after hearing their words, he trotted out of the north gate.
