At noon the next day, a carriage stopped in front of Hejia Pharmacy in Hekou Town.

After the coachman unloaded the two large boxes, it was not long before the middle-aged man, who was short but wearing brocade clothes and soap boots, came down, accompanied by a young woman dressed in a bewitching manner.

The man looked at the plaque on the door of the pharmacy and strode in with a disgusted face.

Tong Wencheng at the counter looked inexplicable, and felt that the man's face was a little familiar.

Suddenly, he finally remembered that this person seemed to be the elder brother of a concubine beside Second Master He.

"This big brother, sit inside. May I ask if the owner sent him to take over the errand of the shopkeeper Song? ”

Tong Wencheng greeted him politely, because he was not sure, so he asked more.

Song Ercai was about to resign, and he had heard about it.

After sitting in the car for two hours, the people who came were tired and thirsty, and when they heard Tong Wencheng call that big brother, they were instantly unhappy, frowning and asking, "Who are you?" You also call me big brother, hurry up and serve tea. Also, get something to eat, I'm going to starve to death. ”

The man sat on the chair at the examination table with a big grin, followed by the woman in the pink shirt, and looked left and right, full of disgust.

"Uncle, didn't you say that it's a good errand to have a medicine garden and a shop, why is this shop so small."

The woman pinched her sleeve and fanned the wind, and when she saw the young man coming out with tea, she poured a cup very irritably, and wanted to drink it herself, but when she saw the man looking over, she smiled and handed it to his mouth.

Looking at the style of these two people, it goes without saying that you can know who it is.

Tong Wencheng went to the back and called out Song Ercai, who was settling accounts.

Song Ercai heard that someone was coming, so he put away his things and went out to greet him.

For the shopkeeper in charge, the person who came was quite polite.

His surname is Zhang, his single name is a super character, he is the shopkeeper of the pharmacy arranged by the He family, and the woman he brought with him is his concubine.

Come to these places to do things and bring a concubine, Song Ercai smiled and didn't say much, invited people into the inner hall and was about to talk about the situation here, Zhang Chao frowned and waved his hand and said: "I have heard the situation here The chief steward has said, the shopkeeper Song is talented, and he takes care of the shop and the medicine garden, and it is a pity to leave now." But the second master also said, respect your opinion, although you are gone now, but if there is a fate in the future, we can work together again. ”

You can see that this man is very good at talking.

Song Ercai arched his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang approves of it." In this case, I will hand over the account to you in the next few days, and when I enter the city at the end of the month, I will resign to the second master and the chief steward. ”

Song Ercai's reason for resigning was to accompany his relatives to other places for a period of time, in fact, it was not a big deal to let go, and now there is more Tong Wencheng in the shop, and there is also a steward on Yaoyuanzi's side to watch, and it will not hurt him to go for half a year, but at that time, he mentioned it, and the chief steward nodded and agreed without asking anything.

The co-author's business is good, the medicine garden is up, and people still hope that you will give up your seat.

After working in the He family for so many years, Song Ercai must be cold, but it doesn't matter.

He went back to his room and packed up what little he had, and gave up the place.

Since opening a shop in the town, most of his family has moved over, and it is easy at this time.

It's noon now, and Song Er still has to go home for dinner, so he will leave and come back in the afternoon.

"Shopkeeper Song."

Song Er had just gone to the street, and Tong Wencheng chased him out and stopped him.

"I'll give you a drink today."

Tong Wencheng stepped forward and hugged Song Ercai's shoulder and said with a smile.

Song Ercai nodded, "Tong Guan will go to the restaurant to sit down in advance, and I will squeak when I go home first." ”

"Okay."

The two parted ways at the door of the restaurant, and Song Ercai returned home to talk to Chang, and soon returned.

Tong Wencheng had already ordered wine and sauce meat, and when Song Er sat down, he filled it up for him, and said, "It's rare to meet one and get it, I didn't expect you to leave again so soon." ”

Song Ercai looks so kind when facing everyone, if you want to get along, you can get along with everyone.

Especially just now, when the old and new shopkeepers are compared, it is clear who is doing things more easily.

Tong Wencheng is an ordinary person, with no advantages or major disadvantages, fortunately, his heart is not bad, Song Ercai raised his lamp and touched him and said: "Left and right will be in the town from now on, so you have to come to me when you are free." ”

Tong Wencheng nodded, the two drank for a while, and then asked about their future plans.

Song Ercai has any plans, so he naturally clings to his shop.

The cloth village has not been open for more than a month, but the action is very big, Tong Wencheng also heard that there are dozens of embroidery girls recruited there, and the scale is not small.

He really didn't expect this person to be so big before, but now it seems that he has been prepared.

"Where's the boy steward?"

Song Er saw that this person not only invited him to drink, but was still a little depressed.

"Me?" Tong Wencheng laughed at himself, "What can I do, continue to do this, and when I can't do it anymore, I will find other work." You don't know, the shopkeeper Zhang, I've heard of him before, it's not the first time to be a shopkeeper, in other places before, the shops have been opened and closed, and there is a sister who is a concubine for the second master in the house, otherwise who will invite that kind of person. ”

Tong Wencheng shook his head, the owner was so unfair, he felt that there was no hope for him to continue to mix.

These days, he saw that Song Ercai had developed well in a big way, but he wanted to jump out and follow him, but when he thought of his daughter-in-law's previous advice, he suppressed those thoughts again.

Song Ercai poured him a glass of wine with a smile and said, "Speaking of the owner, your mother is still in the house and knows a lot of people, can you help me inquire about the main clan in Jiangnan." Last time, I heard you say that Jiangnan took over a batch of embroidery workshops, and you also know that I am doing this now, learning more from others and seeing how their business is done. ”

Tong Wencheng didn't think much about it, and responded with a mouthful, as long as he could inquire about the news, this matter would be fine.

In the afternoon, Song Er returned to the pharmacy on time, only to be told that Shopkeeper Zhang and the concubine were still taking a nap in the room.

There was no way around it, he handed over the matter to Tong Wencheng in the front hall first.

The young man in the shop sighed when Lang Zhong knew that he was going to leave, everyone had seen it at noon, and a few people ate cakes and mixed vegetable soup, but he wanted to fry two dishes separately, and meat dishes.

This kind of behavior, not to mention whether they can make money or not, they are uncomfortable to serve.

Song Ercai just smiled when he heard those little complaints, after all, there was no place for him in this place.

At the time of the unitary, Song Er was about to go back after finishing the affairs of the pharmacy, but when he looked up, he saw Song Hong coming over, standing at the door waiting for him.

I only talked to my son about this person last night, but I didn't expect to come today.

Song Ercai stepped forward and asked him how he was doing in the academy these days.

Song Hong is already fourteen years old, it is the age of growing physique, and he has grown taller in the school hall for a few months, and he is very strong, and his red complexion is excellent.
