Chapter 240: A Booming Business

Zhang Kuo raised his eyebrows, and he had that lazy look again, "Who said that my official was reinstated?" The prefectural magistrate said that my style problem had not been corrected, and ordered me to continue to be punished here, when to quit the problem of greedy beauty, when to go back. ”

He Mai looked at him in surprise, "Then don't you have no expectation of being reinstated?" ”

Zhang Kuo sneered, "What's the good of going back?" I can't do what I want to do, and I have to be controlled everywhere. Isn't it interesting to manage the vendors here, eat steamed buns, and talk to the little girl? Where's your Rokuro? ”

"He's gone to town to buy stones, what are you looking for him?" She was still a little wary of Zhang Kuo's approach to Rokuro.

"What are you so nervous about? I'm the Street Division, not a headcatcher, just ask. Zhang Kuo's voice stretched out a long voice, and he glanced at the people who surrounded the Yongyi porridge buns, "Now that your shop has been given a plaque of Yongyi porridge buns, the business will be much more prosperous in the future." ”

He Mai nodded, "I think, I'm afraid I want to plan and find a helper for the shop." ”

"The business is too good, I'm afraid I will be jealous." Zhang Kuo touched his chin and said.

"Don't be afraid, you're on the other side, and you'll definitely come to help me." He Mai said with a smile.

Zhang Kuo chuckled, shook his head noncommittally, yawned and said lazily: "You hurry up and start doing business, I won't leave you here, it's all people watching, it's very noisy." ”

"Okay, thank you, Zhang Kuo." He Mai raised his voice to him.

She looked at the lively vendors gathered around, and shouted at them with a smile: "Yongyi porridge bun shop, porridge is a bowl, there are sweet and salty toppings with meat, the buns are fried in lard fragrantly, the vegetable buns are one penny, and the meat buns are two pennies!" Guaranteed to be delicious! ”

In the midst of the shouting, many people had already rushed to the low table to find a place to sit down, ordering all kinds of buns.

"Little lady, five meat buns, a bowl of sweet porridge!" Someone couldn't wait to shout.

"Two vegetable buns, a bowl of porridge, and the toppings should be with meat!"

There were more than three times as many guests as usual, and even if He Mai had two more hands, he couldn't keep busy, and Wang came over early, serving buns and porridge to the guests, but it was inevitable that it was still a little slow.

Some customers simply do it themselves, go to the desk of the store to scoop porridge and serve steamed buns, and the front of the store is very lively.

Not far away, the two men who came out of the Li family's bun shop looked at the scene of Yongyi's porridge bun shop with red eyes, very jealous.

"A broken bun shop, and a plaque was given by the yamen, phew!" The old man spat disdainfully, "Morning and evening yellow stall!" ”

The other beside him glanced at him, his eyes were very disdainful, "What's the use of being jealous?" Business is still doing well! I think that little lady must have a leg with the street division, otherwise, why would the street division take care of her so much? ”

"Yes, there's a leg!" The old man nodded viciously.

"We can't let them go on like this, this business is all robbed by them, what are we going to eat?" The man frowned, and his face gradually revealed a sinister look, "I have to give them a little disgust and let them know that this Xiao City in Qinglu Village has to have the final say from the people of our Li family's bun shop!" ”

"Yes, yes!" The old man nodded in agreement, "What should I do then?" ”

"Just ask me, and you should think about it too! Didn't you go through it last time? Can't think of a way right now? The man glared at the old man with a look of disgust.

The old man turned his head stupidly and muttered, "I can't think of it...... If I think about it, you can think about it too......"

Rokuro came back from town very early and was shocked to see a new plaque on his bun shop and a full number of guests.

However, he was not busy asking what happened to Hemai, but began to greet the guests, carry the steamed buns and pass the porridge, and clean up the table to receive the silver.

When it was time for the stall to close in Xiaoshi, the stall was still full of people.

After entertaining this wave of guests, He Mai hurriedly packed up the low tables and benches with Rokuro and closed the shop.

When Rokuro brought the donkey cart from the livestock shed, and Hemai jumped on the cart, he deliberately glanced at the plaque of the porridge bun shop, and was very happy, squinting until the plaque disappeared from sight, and then turned back.

"I'm afraid our porridge bun shop is going to recruit people again," He Mai said to Liulang with some sadness and some joy.

Liulang answered and asked her, "What about Li Changan?" Why didn't you see him? ”

"That stinky boy didn't talk to me, and ran away without saying a few words," Hemai whispered.

As she spoke, she pursed her lips and looked at Rokuro's back for a long time, but she didn't choose to ask him anything.

After a while, she said another thing, "Liulang, Li Ruchun is dead, will Li Jiazhuang find us trouble?" ”

Rokuro's back straightened, his face turned slightly, and his voice said clearly, "No." ”

"When Li Ruchun died, there were no outsiders around us. The government will not spread the news that a killer in Lijiazhuang was killed by a civilian. Besides, even if the people in Lijiazhuang found out that I killed Li Ruchun, it wouldn't be anything. ”

He Mai looked at Liulang Chengzhu's chest, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

But she still followed Rokuro's meaning and asked, "Why?" ”

Du Mingcheng almost led troops to encircle and suppress Lijiazhuang, and this incident was enough for Lijiazhuang to stop for a while. Li Ruchun is dead, for them, it is a matter of killing chickens and monkeys, and they will not retaliate against anyone because of this. Because no matter how high Li Ruchun's martial arts are, he is just a chess piece in Li Zheng's hand, and he will not be allowed to take revenge. ”

Hearing what Liulang said, Hemai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and sighed in his heart, but his face was very calm.

When he returned home, He Mai entered the house with ten taels of silver, took off his shoes and pulled out the small copper box on the kang.

After Rokuro tied the little donkey, he also entered the house, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he watched He Mai staring at the silver and copper coins, and the words in his mouth.

"Today, there are three hundred and twenty copper coins a day, and ten taels of silver given by the county commander, and I have earned a lot today!" He Mai said with a big smile.

"Plus the silver we saved earlier, ......," she pushed the small copper box forward and said with a smile, "Rokuro, do you know how much silver we have saved now?" ”

"How much?" For the money at home, Rokuro really didn't count.

"Counting today, we have a total of thirty-four taels of silver on hand." He Mai said cheerfully.

"Thirty-four taels," Rokuro sighed, "Isn't it much worse to leave the town and buy a house?" ”

He Mai straightened up and said righteously, "But there are quite a few." Our business is getting better and better, and we will make more and more money every day in the future. ”

He Mai shook his head and reasoned, and laughed again and again when he saw Liulang on the side.
