Two days later, Lin Dong met Liu Hua's brother in the front yard.

About twenty, not tall, although the face was white, but a little haggard, obviously did not come out of the shadows.

"Sit!"

After greeting him, Lin Dong sat down on the stone bench and instructed Liu Hua on the side: "Guests, serve tea." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Liu An hurriedly waved his hand, his expression slightly restrained.

"You're welcome, Liu Hua is upset about your affairs, I'm afraid he won't be able to do things at the inn, so let him find you to come over." Lin Dong pouted at the opposite side of the stone table and said with a smile: "Listen to him, you used to be very important to your boss?" ”

"Where is ......" Liu An hurriedly said modestly: "My own brother, of course my brother is trying to say that I am good." ”

"If you're not good, how can so many guys put together to fix you?"

Lin Dong looked at Liu An with a smile, a guy who can be envied by all the guys, it's nothing more than this guy's extremely bad character. Again, it can only be that this guy is too good, so good that with the help of the boss, he threatens all his companions.

In front of him, Lin Dong's first impression was good, and he believed that he should belong to the latter.

If that's the case, maybe he's still a superb fellow, and if not, he won't be a threat to all the fellows alone.

Hearing this, Liu An's face darkened, and he lowered his head and said, "Maybe I'm not popular in the shop!" ”

Lin Dong shook his head and said lightly: "If you have always been so humble in front of your previous boss, you really deserve to be united." ”

Liu An looked at Lin Dong in amazement, and immediately, his body trembled, as if he understood something.

"Come to our Lin Kee Inn!"

Seeing Liu An's reaction, aside from Liu Hua's loyalty, which has increased by two points, as long as Liu An is left in the inn, he can reach ninety points. Lin Dong is really interested in Liu An, his mind is flexible, and he is definitely no worse than Liu Xiu at the beginning, and he is definitely a step higher than Ma Chun, who is known for his eloquence.

People are clever, even if other castes do not meet the requirements of the best guys, as long as they are well explored and cultivated, their experience has improved, and they have seen more things, so that he can deal with emergencies in the inn, he is definitely a good hand.

If it can be confirmed that it is completely trustworthy, when the inn branches are opened more and more, Ma Chun is responsible for coordinating all the inns and diplomacy, and Liu An is responsible for dealing with all emergencies, and the two complement each other, even no worse than Jiang Kui and Qiao Tianhao, the kitchen partners.

Liu An looked at Lin Dong a little stunned, he had thought about it before he came, and only asked this shopkeeper Lin to help him clear his grievances, and then return to the shop.

But that burning gaze made him unable to refuse. Faintly, he had an intuition that once he refused, he would regret it for the rest of his life. The reason is that he has seen this kind of look, and the previous boss, when he looked at the account book every year, always had this kind of look.

Lin Dong was not in a hurry, he just looked at Liu An like that, and saw that he was restless, his mouth opened and closed, and he couldn't say a word.

When the atmosphere gradually became a little urgent, Liu Hua walked over with a tray, and after putting down the tea, he couldn't help but look at Liu An, who was in a cold sweat on his forehead, with inquiries in his eyes.

"Liu Hua, sit together." Lin Dong gestured towards the stone bench on the side.

Liu Hua nodded hurriedly and sat down between the two.

With his own brother here, Liu An's mood finally improved, looked at Lin Dong, and said: "Xie Lin's shopkeeper is kind, but I ...... it."

"Want to go back to your old shop?" Lin Dong said indifferently: "Which shop did you have before?" ”

"The 100-mile silk shop on Huakai Street in the south of the city." Liu An said: "Boss Li used to be very important to me, but this time, this time it's just because the silver was really lost, and the amount is not small. ”

"Is it important to you?" Lin Dong smiled: "How much do you get a month's salary?" ”

"A tael of silver." Liu An glanced at Liu Hua on the side and explained: "The boss will reward me with five dollars of silver every month, although it is not comparable to Lin Ji Inn, but among the guys, my salary is the highest." ”

"Moreover, your boss often praises you in front of your guys." Lin Dong smiled and said: "From time to time, I still take you as an example, once a guy does something wrong, he will immediately carry you out and scold him, right?" ”

"This, this ......" Liu An hurriedly argued: "To be the boss, of course you have to be like this, if you don't do this, how can the guys be diligent." ”

"We, Lin Ji Inn, did something wrong, and the horse steward only scolded a few words alone." Liu Hua muttered quietly.

Liu An wanted to say that this horse steward was not the boss, but seeing Lin Dong present, he had to swallow the words in his stomach.

Lin Dong said slowly: "If you guess correctly, after scolding, you have to deduct your salary, right?" ”

Liu An was stunned and blurted out: "How does Shopkeeper Lin know about our silk shop?" ”

"Otherwise, the big guy won't frame you, and he won't gang up to hack the ten taels of silver in the silk shop." Lin Dong wrote lightly: "In these days, it's normal to have one or two guys who eat inside and out. If there is a group of guys who eat inside and out, then there is a problem. What's the problem, you should be thinking about it now, right? ”

Liu An's face darkened, he really figured it out now.

"I really want to value you, it's only ten taels of silver...... Lin Dong said unceremoniously: "I've heard of a hundred miles of silk and satin shop, and it is also a good silk shop in the south of the city, only twenty taels of silver in the morning, it should be a rainy day that day, right?" Even if it is a business in ordinary times, twenty taels in the morning, it will not be lower than thirty taels a day, and after calculating, deducting miscellaneous costs, how can the profit of a day be three or four taels of silver. ”

Looking at Liu An's increasingly bleak complexion, Lin Dong did not hesitate to sprinkle a handful of salt on his wound: "For the sake of three days' profits, or in order to kill chickens to show the monkeys, just check and drive out your most important guy, your former boss is really righteous enough to kill relatives!" ”

"That's what the shopkeeper said!" Liu Hua said with a disdainful face: "I said a long time ago that your boss actually doesn't treat you well, you just don't believe it." He really has to pay as much attention to you as he says, why would he rather run the cloth village and the silk shop at both ends every day, rather than simply leave the silk shop to you? Like our Lin Ji Inn, the inn in Zealand City has always been handed over to Steward Zhang, and the shopkeeper hasn't gone back to see it for more than half a year. The inns in Autumn Wind City are also handed over to the horse steward. I don't know about Sealand City, we are here, if the horse steward is busy greeting guests, the guys will go to the counter to help the guests settle the bill, and then enter the account. It's like yours, the number of fabrics has a detailed amount, which is much easier to check than our inn, and the accounts are still firmly grasped by your boss. ”

Taking a breath, Liu Hua said proudly: "Look at our shopkeeper, when we encounter big trouble, like this time, all restaurants are desperately reducing prices or something, and the manager Ma can't make up his mind, so the shopkeeper comes forward to make a decision." If you really want to learn from your boss, our shopkeeper is still nesting in Sealand City and can't get out. ”

"That's because, because of ......" Liu An said helplessly: "Bosses and bosses are different, some people like to do it themselves, and some people like to hand it over to trustworthy people." ”

"It's not as tight as your satin shop, at least, it's not so much that the counter will be locked in the last thatched house." Liu Hua said disdainfully: "Speaking of which, it's not that no one of your bosses can believe it, in his eyes, the guy is desperate to do things for him." Although you are more diligent and clever, even if you can help him earn an extra hundred taels of silver a month, he is still afraid that you will take advantage of his absence to sweep away all the silver on the cabinet, otherwise, he will join forces with the guests to cheat the silver of the silk shop. ”

Liu An was speechless, blushing, unable to say a word.

On the side, Lin Dong slowly tapped his index finger on the table and stopped, and suddenly got up.

The two were startled and quickly stood up.

"You two, come with me to the backyard." Lin Dong said.

"To the backyard?" Liu Hua was a little confused.

"Makeup for you!"

Lin Dong nodded, according to this situation, it was not too surprising for Liu An to join Lin Ji Inn. However, even if he joins Lin Kee Inn, Liu An may still be nostalgic for his former boss.

With another boss in his heart, no matter how good he is, Liu An may not be able to be wholeheartedly loyal to Lin Ji Inn. If it's just an ordinary guy, this little thing doesn't affect them to do their best for Lin Kee Inn. But if Liu An really has the potential to be cultivated into a right-hand man, he must pull out the thorn in his heart, otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will invite his former boss to be a lobbyist in the future, and a small negligence is likely to lead to the leakage of secrets such as the delivery door.

Seeing Lin Dong pacing towards the backyard, Liu An couldn't help but look at Liu Hua.

"Let's go! What the shopkeeper says, we will do. Liu Hua patted Liu An on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Our shopkeeper is not only generous, but also one of the best people, otherwise, Lin Ji Inn would not have such a good reputation." I think the shopkeeper really takes a fancy to you, what will you do later, you must not object, if you can really enter our Lin Ji Inn, it will definitely be better than you in the Baili Silk Shop thousands of times, listen to me can't keep it wrong. ”

Liu An hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.

All the way to Old Man Ding's room, Lin Dong knocked on the door: "Old man, are you there?" ”

"Good boy, it's rare...... the door creaked open, and the old man Ding lay on the wooden bed, crossed Erlang's legs, hugged a wine jar, and burped comfortably: "You haven't asked me to drink for a while." ”

"I'll talk about it in the evening, but I have something to do with you." Lin Dong said with a smile.

"Business?" Old man Ding opened his hazy drunken eyes and said, "What can the old man do?" ”

"Of course, it's makeup, give me two whole guards." Lin Dong said with a smile.

Old man Ding couldn't cry or laugh: "Guard, do you still need to come out?" You won't be so poor that you don't have the money to hire a guard, so you can find two guys to put on a façade, right? ”

Lin Dong laughed and said, "Am I like the kind of person who slaps a swollen face and becomes fat?" If you plan to solve the case later, you have to form the person involved as a guard to bring it over. ”

"Do you know how to solve crimes?" Old man Ding said in surprise.

"I don't understand!"

Lin Dong's expression was relaxed, and sometimes, he could solve the case without knowing how to solve it.
