Chapter 217: The Snack Bar's Dilemma

"Yuanhua, I didn't say you, your apprentice has followed his father back for more than a month, and now eighty percent is at ease to live his rich second-generation life, you just grab his photos every day to see, is it interesting?"

Shi Xing reached out and poked me in the shoulder, looking at me with disdain: "If you want him, give him a call, and since Xiao Tongze left, our three small shops have become deserted day by day, if it weren't for Yuanyuan often coming to chat with us, I would have gone crazy." ”

After finishing speaking, Shi Xing's face suddenly became very silent: "Speaking of which, when that kid was there, I hated him every day, and I didn't have the energy to meditate with peace of mind, but now that this kid is gone, I feel like there is something missing in this family, and there is no popularity at all." ”

Hearing Shi Xing's words, I smiled bitterly, put the photo of Tong Ze in my hand on his cash register, turned around and grabbed the pen and answered Shi Xing's words on the writing board: "Forget it, he finally found his biological parents, seven years, how many seven years can there be in life?" Now that the family of three is finally reunited, let's not bother. ”

"You, you, you just love to die, obviously you miss that little guy very much, but you still have to put on a stinky look of indifference! It's exactly the same as your brother Yuanyuan! Knife mouth tofu heart! ”

Seeing that I put away Tong Ze's photo, Shi Xing knocked my head angrily: "By the way, Yuanhua, I have to tell you something important." ”

Seeing that Shi Xing's face was not very good, I didn't write, and I looked at him with my brow raised.

"That." Shi Xing stretched out his hand and grabbed his bald head, and looked at me with an embarrassed expression: "The economy has not been very good recently, although there are still some customers in your snack bar who come to eat every day, but this doesn't make much money, if it weren't for Yuan Yuan and I can still go to Chaodu and catch ghosts to make some money, we would have run out of food a long time ago." ”

I nodded my head to make it clear.

"But you've also seen it recently, there are fewer and fewer ghosts that come out of this neighborhood to harm people, and now that someone has passed away, the relatives have directly asked the staff of the crematorium to contact the mage Chaodu, because we don't know the people in the crematorium, so there has been no business recently."

Listening to Shi Xing's words, I furrowed my eyebrows slightly, grabbed the clipboard and asked Shi Xing, "What exactly do you want to say?" Don't beat around the bush. ”

"Okay, then I'll say it."

Shi Xing saw the question on my clipboard, hesitated, and told me: "We have no money, and we already owe a month's utility bills, if we don't pay the utility bills this month, we will be cut off from water and electricity." ”

Shi Xing's words made me frown, I know what he said, and the money I earn from this snack bar alone is indeed not enough to cover the water and electricity bills of the three stores.

It turns out that Senior Brother and Shi Xing can still go out to earn money, plus from time to time someone will come to their shop to tell fortunes or buy Buddhist utensils, although the life is not very rich, but it can also support the monthly water and electricity bills.

But with the recent exposure of those qigong masters on the Internet, it is becoming more and more difficult for Shi Xing and his senior brother to do business.

Originally, I was going to use the money I saved back then to let us carry this time if I had no choice, but last time Jiang Xiaoshan's father was sick, Shi Xing and I donated all our money, and later after the senior brother learned the news, he handed over all his savings to Jiang Xiaoshan and told her not to worry.

So now we can say that we have run out of ammunition.

In the end, it is because our industry is not suitable for living in the sun, since ancient times, the Taoist priests of the peaceful and prosperous times have been retreating to the mountains and forests, and only when the world is in chaos and the demons are everywhere will they go out of the mountains to subdue the demons.

Now the three of us have only one way out, either the three of us will wait for the water and electricity to be cut off and starve to death, or the three of us will shrink our shops and rent out two of them.

But these three shops, Foyin Pavilion is what I owe to Master Shiye, if it weren't for me, Master Shiye wouldn't have died under the claws of the Corpse King back then, and I also had a life, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be standing here today to talk to Shixing, I would have died in the hands of the Corpse King in that year.

I owe too much to the elders of Shi Xing, and this Foyin Pavilion is just a little bit of heart that my uncle and I used to repay Shi Xing, since this is the case, then Foyin Pavilion feels that it can't be rented out.

The three of us shops plus the house of the little nine tails were all purchased by Uncle Shi alone, and now Uncle Shi is staying in the mouth forever for the sake of all sentient beings, and his only inheritance is the fortune-telling parlor next to it, and it is even more impossible for me to rent it.

Then all that's left is this sweet snack bar of your own.

Thinking of this, I sighed, ignored the obstacles of the release, turned around and walked to the printing shop across the road, printed a piece of paper for renting out the house and pasted it at the door of the snack bar.

At the same time, I also posted my own posts on online post bars and various rental forums, and left my contact information, hoping that someone would come and rent a house soon, so that our small shop would not close due to money problems.

It's also very ironic to say, when I was young and vigorous, I felt that money was just something outside my body, and I didn't take it with me if I didn't bring it to death, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Later, when he encountered Jiang Xiaoshan's incident, he laughed at Jiang Xiaoshan's snobbish relatives countless times in his heart.

As a result, I, a self-proclaimed person, ended up having to rent out the inheritance left by my uncle for the ridiculous money.

I sat at home for three days in a state of flux, and during those three days, I sat in front of my computer all the time, constantly refreshing the web page in front of me, hoping that someone would see my post and connect with me so that I could get through this difficult time.

But the click-through rate of that post in three days was only twenty, and I didn't even remember it on my phone once.

"Hey."

Just as I sat down at the cash register with a sad face and sighed, the door of the snack bar was suddenly pushed open.

I felt the man walk to his cash register, and I looked up as I held up the paper I had already written.

"Welcome, what would you like to eat?" I'm disabled and I can't speak. Thank you for your understanding. ”

"Hey Master, I said that we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you remember me?"

Hearing this voice, I raised my head again, only to find that Xiao Tongze was wearing a high-end sportswear, standing in front of me with a smile on his face!

Seeing that I had fallen into a stupor, Tong Ze looked at me with a wicked smile: "Master, I am a nostalgic person, I have discussed it with my parents, I still went back to my original high school to study, the environment here makes me more comfortable, and my father also bought a house opposite for me, guess where?" ”

Faced with this little boy's question, I shook my head blankly.

"Haha! I knew you couldn't guess, let me tell you, my house is just across the street from Sister Mei! ”

After finishing speaking, Tong Ze took out the rental notice I posted at the door with a wicked smile: "I saw on the Internet, Master, that you have been a little nervous recently, but don't worry, I have decided to do some small business and take down your shop, and I will be the owner of this sweet snack bar in the future, and you will be my employee." ”

Happiness came too suddenly! Before I could react, Tong Ze handed me a bank card and told me the password, indicating that the contract had taken effect and I couldn't go back.

Looking at the bank card handed over by Tong Ze, a warm current suddenly surged in my heart, it seems that this kid has found his parents, and he has not forgotten my master.

"Okay, Young Master Qiu, you will be the shopkeeper of this snack bar in the future."

When I held this sentence in front of Tong Ze, Tong Ze suddenly looked at me and smiled, stretched out his hand and hugged me: "Thank you, Master, Tong Ze will never forget you for the rest of his life." ”

As soon as the words fell, the senior brother and Shi Xing pushed the door and walked in excitedly, and as soon as they entered the door, Shi Xing opened his throat and shouted to me: "Yuanhua, I want to tell you good news!" ”

Before the words could be spoken, Shi Xing saw Tong Ze who was hugging me, he and his senior brother were stunned for a second at first, and then Shi Xing let out a cheer and ran over to take Tong Ze into his arms.

"Little one! You're finally back! ”

After Tong Ze told his senior brother and Shi Xing about his plans, Shi Xing smiled even more and praised Tong Ze for having a conscience.

Seeing that the room full of people were happy, I took the time to grab my clipboard at this time, and asked Shi Xing, who was dancing and chatting with Tong Ze, "You said you have good news to tell me, what is the good news?" ”

Seeing my clipboard, this time it was the senior brother on the side who laughed.

Shi Xing grinned at me twice: "Didn't you say that Zhang Qiubai was rescuing last time?" Let me tell you, that Zhang Qiubai was fine last month, and she even found your senior brother, and she stalked hard, no, today your senior brother finally couldn't bear her entanglement and agreed to marry her! ”

"What!"

Tong Ze on the side heard the news and jumped up from the sofa: "Uncle Master is getting married!" ”

"Yes." Senior brother only opened his mouth at this time, and he nodded at Tong Ze: "Qiubai said that if I don't marry her, she will lie in front of my fortune-telling parlor every day, and in the end, there is no way, with the consent of her father, we are going to get married this month." ”

Looking at the happy smile on my brother's face, I also smiled slightly.

It seems that today is really a good day, not only is his apprentice back, but his senior brother also has a lover who has finally become a family and is going to get married.

It's a double blessing!
