Chapter 223: Shen Chuntao's Jealousy
Jiang Zipei was checking the ingredients sent, he usually didn't care about these things, but he happened to get up early today and came to Yunlailou, so he came to take a look.
At this time, the morning market is lively, and it is the apprentices of the two cooks who check the freshness of the ingredients, and the one who takes the sign is the one who goes to the front to find the shopkeeper to receive the silver, which can be regarded as orderly.
Hearing Brother Li's words, Jiang Zipei saw the extraordinary little Orion among the people in line at a glance, even if he was wearing a rough cloth clothes, Jiang Zipei felt that there was no way to hide the light on his body.
Jiang Zipei didn't think deeply, but after all, he was Shen Shuang's friend, so he naturally gave a little thin noodles, so he took the initiative to say hello, and asked Xiao Li to take the sack he was carrying first, only to find several prey inside.
Jiang Zipei knew that hunting was not easy, and when he saw that these prey were not small, he knew that he had the ability.
"Brother Orion, it seems that your skills are really good, these prey are still fresh, and they can be sold for a good price, go to the valuation, and bring the silver directly over here."
Xiao Li responded, and hurriedly dragged the sack into it with some effort to let people evaluate it.
Little Orion waved at Jiang Zipei, "Thank you Jiang Gongzi." ”
Jiang Zipei felt that something seemed wrong, but he still subconsciously replied with a smile, "Brother Orion, you don't have to be polite, there are a lot of vegetable farmers who come to hand over vegetables at this time, how about we go in and sit down and eat something together?" ”
Little Orion naturally knew that Jiang Zipei was so polite to him because of Shen Shuang's face, but he didn't like to climb up the pole, others were polite, he also had to be interesting, Yun Lailou was very busy at this time, and he didn't want to bother.
"Thank you Jiang Gongzi for your kindness, it's inconvenient to go in and bother, just wait here."
Jiang Zipei didn't like to force others, he nodded, although he was a little puzzled, because he still felt something weird, "In that case, Brother Orion, you wait a minute, there is still something in my building, go in and get busy." ”
Jiang Zipei turned around as he spoke, but halfway through the turn, he realized that something was wrong, he didn't seem to have talked to the little hunter before, and Shen Shuang clearly told them before that he was a dumb person who couldn't speak, but what was going on now?
Jiang Zipei is usually a relatively calm person, but at this time, he turned his head to stare at the little Orion not very steadily, and even had a little mouthful, "You speak...... Brother Orion, you're not, no, Brother Orion, can you speak? ”
Little Orion was slightly stunned, at first he thought that Jiang Zipei was quite calm and self-controlled, and he felt a little funny to see him like this, but he didn't show it on his face, just looked at him with his chin, "I was poisoned before, so my throat couldn't make a sound, and after a period of treatment, it has recovered." ”
Jiang Zipei nodded suddenly in realization, "I see, that's really congratulations to Brother Orion." ”
But Rao is like this, Jiang Zipei is still very puzzled, it just so happened that Jiang Ziyan deliberately came over to get up early and come to Yunlailou to eat breakfast, so he also said such a thing.
Jiang Ziyan glanced at him lightly while eating rice rolls and said, "The world is so big, there are no surprises, I did hear before that there is a poison that will make people unable to make a sound after drinking, but it will not be fatal, which is not strange." ”
"But the strange thing is that such a poison can appear in Gushan Town, which is only found in the southern country, even if it is a merchant from the south to the north, it can be seen that that person is not an ordinary person."
Jiang Zipei remembered the appearance and temperament of the little Orion, and nodded, "Indeed, I see that Brother Orion should not be an ordinary person, not only has the ability, but also the appearance is top-notch, although I don't know why he appears here, but maybe it is the unspeakable secrets of others." ”
Jiang Ziyan put down his chopsticks a little unconvinced when he heard the words 'appearance is even more top-notch', "Seventh brother, are you exaggerating your words?" Top looking? Doesn't this describe a woman? ”
Jiang Zipei knew that his brother was not convinced by his description of the little Orion, and said with some amusement, "Fifth brother, that Orion brother is indeed extraordinary, and his appearance is indeed as I described, he should still be in the backyard at this time, I can also introduce you to you, if you see it with your own eyes, you won't think I'm exaggerating." ”
Jiang Ziyan saw the breakfast on the table that he hadn't enjoyed, although he was not very reluctant, but he also got up curiously and wanted to take a look, but it was a pity that when the two of them walked to the backyard, the little hunter had already got the silver and left, Jiang Ziyan was a little pity, but he had a lot of curiosity about the little hunter who had never met.
These days, the business of Yunlailou is good, the Manfu Building opposite is not open to the morning market, after all, people in the town are used to making breakfast at home, but since Yunlailou began to sell fresh 'breakfast', the guests are endless, of course, there are not many people who get up early to eat breakfast, but there are many people who come to buy early to go home.
Especially the big families in the town often ask their little maids or maids to come out to buy breakfast, and Shen Chuntao is one of them.
Recently, Shen Chuntao's life in Yang's Mansion has not been very good, Mrs. Yang's health has not been very good recently, she not only has to take care of patients every day, boil medicine every day, the house is full of medicinal smells, but also from time to time Mrs. Yang thinks of ways to scold.
Mrs. Yang naturally knew that Shen Chuntao was worried about her son, so she might just wait for the old lady to make the decision and raise her as her aunt, but where could Mrs. Yang look down on a scheming country girl.
But what worries her is that her son is so obsessed with ghosts, and he likes the country girl quite a lot.
Mrs. Yang also expects her son to go to her mother's sister's house in the capital to study with the sons of those nobles in the capital.
Taking advantage of the fact that the old lady was sick and had no time to meddle in the family's big and small affairs, Mrs. Yang changed her way to ban Shen Chuntao's feet, not let her go out, guarding the old lady every day, and at the same time letting people keep an eye on her son reading.
The two of them haven't seen each other for a few days, and Mrs. Yang also found her son a maid who looks better than Shen Chuntao, and is well-behaved and obedient and easy to handle, stuffed into her son's room.
Finally waited for Old Madam Yang's health to improve, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she also heard about Young Master Yang and a girl who had a room, and she was so angry that she was going to die, but she was helpless.
She was sent by Mrs. Yang's mother-in-law to buy Yunlailou early, but she didn't expect to meet her second brother Shen Tusheng.
Shen Tusheng was wearing the uniform clothes of Yunlai Building, and he was helping to sell breakfast at the door of Yunlai Building at this time, it was still early at this time, so there were more people in line, if he hadn't turned a corner, it was estimated that he would have to line up at the door of Manfu Building.
Shen Chuntao also accompanied Mrs. Yang out to Manfu Mansion to eat before, Yunlai Lou was a closed restaurant at that time, but now this situation makes her feel that she really hasn't gone out for a long time and doesn't know anything.
What surprised her even more was that her second brother turned out to be a guy from Yunlailou!
"Second brother, why are you working here?"
Shen Chuntao didn't want others to know that her second brother was a buddy here, but quietly gave him a look and asked him to step aside to talk to him, and he spoke with a slightly disgusted tone.
If it were Shen Tusheng before, it is estimated that he would not be able to hear what her tone was, but now that he has been a buddy in Yunlai Building, he has met all the guests, and even if he hears that his own sister is disgusting himself.
The relationship between Shen Tusheng and Shen Chuntao is not so deep, after all, in the Shen family, Old Man Shen and the Wan family have always regarded Shen Musheng as the second grass, and Shen Tusheng is the second grass in the family, because Shen Tusheng has always been able to say good things about sycophants, and the Wan family still loves him, but no matter how painful it is, it is not as good as the third Shen Shuisheng and his sister Shen Chuntao.
Shen Tusheng is a little smart, and he doesn't care much about many things, and he has already started to look for work in the town before he gets married, and he hasn't stayed at home much over the years, so his relationship with Shen Chuntao's sister is really not deep at all.
At this time, Shen Tusheng looked impatient, "What's the matter, why can't I work here?" What's the matter with you, I'm still busy and haven't seen so many guests? ”
Now Yunlailou's business is getting better and better, often from morning to night, and also recruits a lot of new guys, Shen Tusheng is about to become the manager of the new guys because of Shen Shuang, and his monthly silver has changed from one tael of silver to three taels of silver, although it is harder, but he is very motivated.
Shen Chuntao also realized that what he said just now was not appropriate, but he still spoke in the identity that he was his sister, "Second brother, this Yunlailou may go out of business at some point, although the business is very good now, where can it compare to the Manfu Building opposite?" And you work here, you are called and drunk every day, there are several meanings, you might as well honestly carry goods to people to make money, you still quit this job quickly, I will ask my young master if he has any good work and then introduce it to you. ”
Shen Chuntao didn't say anything, she saw that her swarthy second brother was now wearing better clothes than her, and her heart was a little unbalanced, of course, mainly because she was afraid that the people of the Yang Mansion would know that her second brother was a partner here, because her young master had a good relationship with the shopkeeper of Manfulou, and she was afraid of being implicated.
Shen Tusheng didn't know what she was thinking, but compared to the days when he was tired and tired and maybe could only earn a few copper plates a day before, he was very satisfied, and he didn't look down on his sister to go to a big family to be a maid, and give the master's and urine.
"Chun Tao, if you can introduce me to a good job, why don't you introduce it before? Why am I bored here? Eat and drink spicy food every day, sleep in a good house, and take three taels of silver every month, why don't you say it's boring if you serve and urine to people every day? ”
Shen Tusheng is a straightforward and fast-talking character, but he can't see her talking nonsense here that Yunlailou is going to go out of business, and he won't delay after speaking, seeing that he can't be busy over there, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, and hurriedly walked over to help collect the cashier.
