Chapter Ninety-Seven: Shopkeeper Zhong is invited
"Well, I see, sister (eldest sister)." Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi nodded.
At this time, Qi Shan's family, Qi Shan and Chi Lingmiao were also telling their families thousands of instructions, and everyone said that charcoal had been purchased once at home, and it was not easy to sell and they had never thought about doing business in this area again, as for spices, what was it.
The next day, Qi Jiuli and his party went their separate ways when they arrived in Jinshui Town, Qi Jiuli went straight to Qiuwei Restaurant, Qi Qizhu went to Jinshui Yaxing, and Qi Basong went to Fang's private school first.
"Little sir, our shopkeeper invites you to have a cup of tea in the tea house."
Qi Jiuli looked at the door of the Qiuwei restaurant a few feet away from him, and raised his eyebrows at the familiar face who had a relationship with him who reached out to stop him, how unbearable it was.
It was Hu Xiaofan, a guy from Piaoxiang Wine Shop, who came to invite people, and his expression was a little tangled at this time, because he recognized Qi Jiuli in front of him, who had found Piaoxiang Wine Store with a middle-aged man before, and he drove people away at the beginning.
The second time he saw him, he accidentally saw the two of them enter the Qiuwei restaurant diagonally opposite, but he didn't tell Shopkeeper Zhong about this, and he thought it was not a matter at first.
But now it's the shopkeeper of his own clock who has come to the door, it won't be a big deal, Hu Xiaofan flashed a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Little second brother, you are from Piaoxiang Wine Shop, I have seen it once before." Qi Jiuli smiled and said, "So the shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Wine Store is looking for me?" ”
"But I'm sorry, I'm already an apprentice at Autumn Restaurant." Qi Jiuli apologized, "I have to go to work." ”
"There's still a quarter of an hour before work, so it's just right to have a cup of tea." Hu Xiaofan said, "The sincerity of our shopkeeper has been waiting, Mr. Xiao is not going now, and my shopkeeper will still come to invite someone tomorrow." ”
Qi Jiuli nodded when he heard this, "Then please trouble the second brother to lead the way." ”
The tea house is very close, just opposite the Qiuwei restaurant, next to the Piaoxiang wine shop, Qi Jiuli followed Hu Xiaofan to the small private room on the second floor, and Zhong Zixin, the shopkeeper of the Piaoxiang wine shop, was already waiting there to drink tea.
"The little gentleman is here." As soon as Qi Jiuli entered the door, Zhong Zixin got up with a smile and greeted him, Qi Jiuli was a little flattered, this treatment was very different from the first time I saw him.
"Hello shopkeeper, the kid's name is Jiuli, you can just call the kid's name, the boy can't bear it." Qi Jiuli said slightly cramped.
"Okay, Jiuli, sit down." Zhong Zixin showed a kind smile to himself, "Xiaofan pours tea for Jiuli." ”
"Yes."
Qi Jiuli looked at Zhong Zixin who was smiling in front of him, and his heart was tired for a while, this person is not a little worse than Yan Chengtao, when he was in the Autumn Flavor Restaurant, although Yan Chengtao was the shopkeeper, he didn't have any shelves, and he also poured tea for himself kindly, of course, not only himself, but the rest of the people who did the work in the restaurant also enjoyed it.
When the restaurant is busy, Yan Chengtao, as the shopkeeper, will personally come to help, so everyone likes him very much.
Zhong Zixin in front of him gave people the feeling of being high and complacent, which Qi Jiuli could see from the first time they met.
"Jiuli, I am the shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Wine Shop, surnamed Zhong, before you came to Piaoxiang Wine Shop, I was busy but I didn't talk properly, now I take the opportunity to talk." Zhong Zixin introduced himself with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Zhong, is there something wrong with you looking for a kid?" Qi Jiuli said humbly, "Now the kid is an apprentice in the Qiuwei Restaurant, and he has to go to work later, and the family still relies on the kid to earn a meal." ”
"Eh, I heard that Jiuli has strong arithmetic ability, and any shop like you likes it, if you like it, come to Piaoxiang Wine Shop." Zhong Zixin expressed twelve points of kindness.
"Where does the kid have this ability, this time he is also lucky, he got the blue eyes of the shopkeeper Yan, and he got the job of an apprentice." Qi Jiuli touched his head embarrassedly.
"Oh." Zhong Zixin's expression was a little excited, and he couldn't help but step forward, "What did Jiuli do to make Shopkeeper Yan take it seriously." ”
"It's the boy's arithmetic ability." Qi Jiuli's eyes were shining, and he said, "When the kid went to ask for this job, the shopkeeper Yan took the school exam for a long time, and the kid answered." ”
"Shopkeeper Yan thinks that the kid has such a talent at a young age, so he wants the kid to be an apprentice first."
Zhong Zixin's brows furrowed slightly, "In this way, that's what you can do in Jiuli." ”
"By the way, I forgot to congratulate Mr. Yan, recently because of the new dishes in the autumn restaurant, the business is very hot, I have also been fortunate to taste a few of these dishes, the taste is very unique." Zhong Zixin said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Zhong also thinks it's delicious, right, kid thinks so too." Qi Jiuli seemed to have found a bosom friend, and echoed with a smile, "Chef Jiang is worthy of being an imperial chef in his ancestors, and his skills are good." ”
"Even though we can't eat the new dishes at work, we can occasionally eat leftovers from customers, even if it's soup or bibimbap." Qi Jiuli gave a thumbs up, looked very excited, and swallowed his saliva cooperatively, and then reached out to take the teacup with a little shyness and took a big sip.
"There's something in this water, Shopkeeper Zhong, this can't be tea." Qi Jiuli looked at the small green leaves soaked in the cup, looking like he had never seen the world, and said stupidly, "It's the first time for the kid to drink such a beautiful tea." ”
Zhong Zixin looked at Qi Jiuli's expression with disdain, but he still endured it in a flash, "By the way, I heard the shopkeeper Yu of Yu Ji Grocery Store say that you sell charcoal at home?" ”
Qi Jiuli looked at Zhong Zixin with some surprise, "I didn't expect Shopkeeper Zhong to know Shopkeeper Yu, that's right, I sold charcoal at home, so I sold it to Yuji Grocery Store, Shopkeeper Yu is good, it's past the New Year, and I also received our charcoal." ”
"But it's not a good business." Qi Jiuli said sadly, "I want to go to charcoal from such a far away county, charcoal is a precious commodity, and only large families use it, but there is no shortage of large households, where will they buy what we sell, fortunately, the shopkeeper Yu accepted it." ”
"After doing such a business, I found that selling charcoal is better than selling firewood, and there are many people in the town who buy firewood." Qi Jiuli said shyly.
"Aren't most of the new products coming out of Qiuwei Restaurant now using charcoal, and Shopkeeper Yan didn't buy it from you?" Zhong Zixin asked in a low voice.
Qi Jiuli's face was full of surprise, and then he smiled, "Shopkeeper Zhong said with a smile, how could Shopkeeper Yan buy from us, it is better to buy from us than to go to the county seat to buy it, the price is always cheaper." ”
Zhong Zixin pondered for a while, and the smile on his face was already very reluctant.
Qi Jiuli looked at Zhong Zixin's expression and knew that things were almost over, "Shopkeeper Zhong, you see that the kid has to go to work......
Zhong Zixin waved his hand, "Well, you go." ”
Qi Jiuli said goodbye and went downstairs to Qiuwei Restaurant.
