Chapter 103: Be kind
Chapter 103
Shopkeeper Wu looked at the things on the counter and was stunned, then raised his head and responded, "There is no such precedent in our store, it was your fourth uncle who asked you to return?" ”
Cheng Xi shook his head, his eyes flickered, and he said, "This was originally a birthday gift that the fourth uncle bought for me, but I don't want this thing at all, so I want to secretly exchange it for silver, so you can help me with the shopkeeper." ”
Shopkeeper Wu looked at Cheng Xi with a smile, "You didn't tell the truth, did you?" I used to be classmates with your fourth uncle, what kind of morality does he have, cough, what kind of person he is, I still know a little, how could he give you this little girl? ”
Cheng Xi knew from the fact that this person helped him pit Xu Wenyu before, this person definitely didn't want to see Xu Wenyu, and he definitely couldn't fool by pretending to be stupid at this time, so he went straight to the point, "No matter what, this thing has already arrived in my hands and has become my thing, isn't it?" But these things are not of much use in my hands, can the shopkeeper do me a favor and return these things? ”
Shopkeeper Wu looked at Cheng Xi, "How do I know if you listened to your fourth uncle's instructions and ran back to return the goods?" ”
Cheng Xi replied with a light smile, "Why did my fourth uncle buy these things, how unwilling he was when he bought them, presumably the shopkeeper should have seen it very clearly, it took so much effort to let him buy these things, and I ran back to help him return them, do you think I am full of food?" ”
"And your purpose?" Shopkeeper Wu asked.
Cheng Xi didn't bother to hide it, "Of course, I let these things in my hand turn into silver, and it just so happens that I am very short of silver in my hand." ”
Shopkeeper Wu looked at the little girl in front of him who was only eleven or twelve years old with a smile, obviously such a big grade, she was so old when she spoke, and she dared to calculate Xu Wenyu's old fox, and let the old fox suffer in her hands, which really impressed him.
didn't rush to promise Cheng Xi to return the money to her, but the shopkeeper Wu asked first, "Your name is Fourth Uncle Xu Wenyu, are you his niece?" ”
Cheng Xi replied with a smile, "Nephew." ”
Shopkeeper Wu looked at Cheng Xi in surprise, "At your age, you actually got married?" ”
Cheng Xi said helplessly, "Yes, the shopkeeper, can you return it?" If I can't get it back, I'll find another way. ”
Shopkeeper Wu wanted to know what else Cheng Xi could do, so he asked curiously, "Think of another way?" I'd like to see what I can do. ”
Cheng Xi looked at the shopkeeper and pulled a lot of things with him, but he didn't say whether he could return the goods, and estimated that there was no precedent for returning the goods, so he had to say, "Since it can't be returned, then don't bother the shopkeeper, but please cooperate with the shopkeeper for a while." ”
After that, he took his things and went to the door of Yipinxuan, waiting for a guest to come to the door.
The shopkeeper followed curiously, and when he saw Cheng Xi standing at the door, he asked curiously, "What is the girl going to do?" ”
Cheng Xi shook the things in his hand and responded with a smile, "Someone will sell the things in their hands to them when they come to the door." ”
Shopkeeper Wu has been a shopkeeper for a long time, and he instantly understood what Cheng Xi meant, and said in his heart that this little girl is really smart, and she doesn't plan to embarrass him anymore, and said, "Come in, I'll help you return the goods." ”
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment before he said, "Can I return the goods?" ”
Shopkeeper Wu replied with a smile, "Did I say that I can't return the goods?" ”
Cheng Xi thought about it carefully, as if there was really none, it was all his own foolishness, so he raised his head and smiled very obediently, "Thank you, shopkeeper." ”
Holding the six taels of silver in his hand, the corners of Cheng Xi's mouth bloomed with a smile, and he went out happily, and the little two on the side looked at his shopkeeper with some confusion, "Big brother, you just said that you would be unhappy if you sold less, and you actually returned it to someone else at this time?" ”
Shopkeeper Wu stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Er's head, "Let you call the shopkeeper in the store, turn around and forget it." Do you remember what your eldest brother told you before? To be kind, how can you buy things from others at will? Don't mention this matter again, just go to work. ”
Xiao Er reached out and touched the back of his head that was patted with some pain, why is the eldest brother so strange today? Also capricious. glanced at his eldest brother suspiciously, and then turned to work.
When Cheng Xi returned to the restaurant, Xu Sanlang was already in the backyard of the restaurant, busy packing up poultry and other things with Bao Sui, Chef Zhao had already passed by, Xu Sanlang also learned a rough idea from him, seeing that Cheng Xi didn't have anything in his hand, he asked, "The thing has been returned?" ”
Cheng Xi nodded, but she didn't want to say much about it, after all, there were not only her and Xu Sanlang in this courtyard, but also several other people, and she didn't want this matter to spread.
Cheng Xi didn't mention the matter of recruiting money now, but went to the dormitory, changed his clothes and started to go to the kitchen to get busy.
It wasn't until noon was over, after lunch, and when he was resting in the afternoon, Cheng Xi had to pull Xu Saburo into the house and ask, "How is Yu Zhaocai?" Is it arranged? ”
Xu Saburo responded, "It should be no problem, the people in his hands are very useful, very smart, I mentioned it according to you, and they will understand that they will come and arrange it." ”
Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." ”
Xu Saburo continued, "I also wrote the letter you asked me to write, and gave it to them to take to Fucheng, don't worry too much; I'm a little worried about the fourth uncle's side, if I know that you lied to him like this, I'm afraid I will retaliate. ”
Cheng Xi didn't care about pouting, so he wouldn't admit it, "I didn't lie to him, he asked for it himself, you can blame me." ”
Xu Sanlang was a little uneasy, and said in a very solemn tone, "My fourth uncle is very dangerous, you still don't provoke it." ”
Seeing Xu Sanlang staring at him tightly, as if he would not give up if he didn't agree, Cheng Xi had to nod and respond, "Okay, I won't provoke him, and when I finish taking him to meet the Zhao family this time, I will try to stay away from him in the future." ”
But they all ignore that there are some things and some people, and it's not like you're okay if you don't provoke them.
In the next few days, Cheng Xi took Xu Wenyu to meet several people surnamed Zhao one after another, including the shopkeeper in the restaurant and the bookkeeper in the gambling house.
However, Cheng Xi was repeatedly instructed by Xu Saburo not to calculate Xu Wenyu again, so as not to anger and retaliate after Xu Wenyu was disappointed, Cheng Xi had to obediently take Xu Wenyu to meet people, and no longer set Xu Wenyu.
After seeing the last one surnamed Zhao, Xu Wenyu found that there was no one he was looking for, and he was also very depressed, thinking about whether Cheng Xi had concealed it, and called Xu Sanlang again, and inquired about it on the side, but he still found nothing.
Xu Wenyu was willing to give up like this, so he had to continue to track down whether the two had concealed other people surnamed Zhao, and carefully check again from the people surnamed Zhao he had seen.
Ruyi Restaurant, and finally found the person who succeeded Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi, and Steward Xu planned to let Cheng Xi and Xu Saburo take the two of them for a few days, and then let the two leave.
In this restaurant, if you want to say that you are most reluctant to the two of them, you can count these people in the back kitchen, especially Chef Zhao, as soon as Cheng Xi leaves, he is afraid that he will not be able to be so leisurely lazy, and he has been very bored and sighed these days.
Cheng Xi Xu Saburo went back to Cheng's house and told them about the situation and began to prepare.
Originally, Cheng Xi planned to move to the small courtyard rented by the Cheng family first, and everyone squeezed together first, and the eldest uncle and second brother were not there, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to live, but Xu Sanlang was unwilling and said that he wanted to rent a house again.
Cheng Xi thought about his grandmother's attitude towards Xu Sanlang and Bai Sui, if he went back to live in that small courtyard, he was afraid that this day would really not stop, so he had to nod his head.
These days, someone has taken over their affairs, and they are not too busy, so they go to the streets from time to time to wander around, and by the way, look for a place to live and a suitable place to set up a stall.
In a blink of an eye, it was already February, and the matter on the side of the restaurant had almost been dealt with, Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi was worried about the place where he lived, after all, the two of them had a child, and it was not cost-effective to rent a large yard, and the funds in their hands were limited, but it was not easy to rent a room or two.
Most of them have separate courtyards, and one or two rooms have to share a courtyard and other infrastructure with others.
Besides, to live in a small courtyard with a complete stranger, Cheng Xi always felt inconvenient.
After struggling for several days, I looked at several places, and finally found a satisfactory place, near the vegetable market, a small courtyard, a row of houses on the left and right, and a row on the left has been rented out, a family of three, the man is a pig killer in his thirties, the woman sells meat in the market, and there is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old son who is learning the craft of killing pigs from his father.
The right side has been empty and cannot be rented, one is because the vegetable market is too noisy, and the other is because the pig killers who live in the wing room on the left go to the countryside to collect the pigs themselves, kill and sell them themselves, and the howl of the pig killing can be heard in this yard at any time, and it is filled with a bad smell.
Cheng Xi is quite satisfied, it is close to the vegetable market, the rent price is cheap, she also has a way to deal with that smell, and the left and right rows of houses have their own independent kitchens, the only defect is the howl when the pig is killed, and it will be over after enduring.
