At the moment when Du Jinning was drinking tea with Guan Lehe and others, Zhong Yanqing slapped the table at home and scolded: "I can't even handle a small thing, how can I trust this home to you in the future?" ”

Zhong Shengming, the eldest young master of the Zhong family, was scolded by his father and was very depressed. Although he has a family in his twenties and has children, this family is still in the hands of his father Zhong Yanqing. The shopkeeper resigned for such a major matter, did he dare to deal with it without his father's consent? If he dared to do this, his father would find out later, and he would have to beat him with a big stick!

But these words, he only dared to slander in his stomach, but he didn't dare to say them clearly.

"If he wants to leave, just let him go. I don't believe that my Zhong family can't function without him. Zhong Yanqing said impatiently.

"Yes...... However, he is gone, who will take care of our rice shop in the west of the city? Also, those wealthy households in the west of the city were originally directly contacted by Shopkeeper Liu and delivered rice to the house regularly. As soon as he left, these ways would be cut off. The villain thought, will someone dig up Liu's shopkeeper just for these big customers in the west of the city? Otherwise, the shopkeeper Liu has no capital to be the owner himself, and the second is not a windfall to enjoy Qingfu, and he is not very old, what will he do if he resigns from the function of the shopkeeper? ”

"It's good that you can think of that." Zhong Yanqing said, "In this way, don't agree to Shopkeeper Liu's resignation first, drag him for a while." In addition, you find a capable and reliable second shopkeeper in the shop, follow you, run through the homes of those rich families in the west of the city, and tell them that our shopkeeper is going to be replaced, and the new shopkeeper will send them rice in the future. Whether they are our customers or not, you can run around that place these days, and if you can't, call your brother along. ”

Saying that, he said earnestly: "Brother Ming, you are also so old, you are all a father." As for me, I'm getting older and older, and my energy is getting worse and worse, and in the future, it's all up to you. You have to be a family member and take care of things when they come along. I don't look at the process, I only look at the result. As long as you can take care of this matter, I will hand over more business to you. ”

As he spoke, he patted his son on the shoulder with trust and went straight out the door.

When he was about to go out, he asked his eldest son to call him back to take care of his business. After such a delay, when he arrived at the Boyue Teahouse, the teahouse was already full of people.

He was very depressed, and called Si'er: "You go in and see if Master Li is inside, and if they help us occupy a place." ”

Si'er agreed, and wanted to drill in.

But at the door of the teahouse, two men who looked five big and three thick came out of nowhere, and stopped Si'er directly, but his attitude was very polite: "I'm sorry, it's full inside, I can't go in again, and the guest officer still has to wait for the next one." ”

Seeing this, Zhong Yanqing hurriedly squeezed over, stepped forward and said, "I came with friends for two games yesterday, and I sat in the VIP seat. It's late today, and my friend may have reserved a seat for me. ”

The big man looked at Zhong Yanqing and asked, "Are you Zhong Yanqing Zhong?" ”

Zhong Yanqing was overjoyed, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Exactly." ”

"Originally, some guests said to help you reserve a place, but there were too many people to come, and you were not sure whether to come, and other guests discussed with your friends and sat down on the seat left for you. Your old friend even called someone to come and talk to us, and said if you came, let us help explain. So I'm sorry, Master Zhong, please wait for the next one. ”

Zhong Yanqing was suddenly depressed.

But it's helpless, there's no place, it's useless for him to make trouble. Besides, he didn't dare to make trouble. This teahouse has a college background, even the county lord doesn't dare to provoke him, he is a small rich family, so let's stay honestly.

He glanced at the many people standing at the door of the teahouse, and smiled at the man: "I don't know my brother's surname?" ”

"Your surname is Zhao, my name is Zhao Dahu."

"Brother Big Tiger, can you keep the VIP seat for me in the next show? I'll be on time. ”

Before Zhao Dahu could speak, someone said dissatisfiedly: "What to stay?" There's always a first-come, first-served approach, right? We've been lined up here early in the morning, and he'll keep it for him as soon as he comes, so what's the point with us standing here? ”

Zhong Yanqing is a businessman, and he pays attention to harmony and wealth. Although the man was a seven-foot man, with a scruffy beard and a soap-colored cotton jacket of coarse cloth, he did not look like a rich man, he still smiled very politely and explained: "I sit in the VIP seat, and it has nothing to do with your friend's seat." ”

The man rolled his eyes: "Who is not sitting in the VIP seat?" Twenty dollars, you can't afford it. ”

He was a butcher with five sons. Now a son is in charge of a meat stall, and the family has a lot of income. He has no other hobbies, he likes to listen to chivalrous stories. Yesterday I heard from the neighbors that the storyteller of this teahouse told a wonderful story, and he came to listen to it in the afternoon, and it was really amazing, after listening to it, he was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night last night, so he remembered to come to listen to the book. But he didn't want to wait for him to watch his sons slaughter the pigs, put the meat on the stalls, and rush over again, the teahouse was full.

Originally, with his identity, he liked to sit in an ordinary seat. But isn't he greedy for the comfort of the VIP seat? It's only twenty yuan, and he can't afford to spend it, isn't it just a matter of half a catty of pork? It's just that there will be no discounts in the teahouse in the future, and he won't blink his eyes for forty dollars. He has nothing else to butcher, but he is not bad for money.

Zhong Yanqing was choked by Butcher Zhang, and his face was a little unsightly.

He said lightly: "Even if you sit in a distinguished guest seat, brother, aren't there still seven?" You can't finish it alone, brother, right? ”

But he didn't want the butcher to pull in front of him: "Why, several of these people are helping their masters line up to occupy a seat, and they all sit in the guest seats." ”

There were six people in front of Butcher Zhang, and when they heard this, everyone turned their heads and nodded at Zhong Yanqing.

Butcher Zhang pointed behind him again: "There are many of these people who want to sit in the VIP seats. Eight seats, there really aren't any seats left. ”

Zhong Yanqing looked back, and when he came, it wasn't long before the opening time of the first game, so there were only about a dozen people in line. But in just a few moments, there were seven or eight more in the team.

"This, this...... There's still an hour left until the second game, right? Zhong Yanqing suddenly felt that his brain was not good.

It's winter! In the middle of winter, the cold wind blows here for an hour, just to occupy a place to listen to a storytelling, aren't these people crazy?

Zhao Dahu kindly explained his doubts: "Most of these people who come to line up are subordinates. Mr. Zhong, if you don't mind sitting in an ordinary seat, you can also ask your little guy to stay and queue up. Of course, I'll just say that, and don't mind if you don't say it well. ”
