Chapter 217: Eating the Bitter Fruit
"Thank you, thank you." Liu Yunsheng hurriedly thanked him, carried the firewood and walked to the back door with the shopkeeper, and helped him deliver the firewood to the backyard kitchen.
Seeing that there were only two bundles of firewood left in the kitchen in the backyard, he said: "Little second brother, you are good, I still have two loads of firewood in my house, I will sell them to you, okay?" As long as three pennies a load. β
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, most of the firewood on the market cost five or six dollars a load, the shopkeeper picked up a piece of firewood and broke it, seeing that the firewood was indeed dry, and the firewood was bundled intensively, all of which were good firewood without moisture, and the price was extremely cheap.
"You see, we've got enough firewood." The shopkeeper frowned, Liu Yunsheng's waist was bent lower, and he was about to speak, but he heard the shopkeeper say: "Seeing that you are indeed pitiful, I will buy five cents and two loads." β
"Five cents and two loads, this is ......" Liu Yunsheng hesitated a little, and said: "The firewood on the market costs five or six cents a load, and I have been cutting this firewood on the mountain for a long time." β
When the shopkeeper heard this, Yu Guang saw the guy in charge of boiling water coming in, so he raised his voice and said, "If you sell it, you can sell it, forget it if you don't sell it, now there are so many people selling firewood, do I have to buy yours?" β
"Sell, sell, sell!" Liu Yunsheng saw that the shopkeeper was angry, so he hurriedly bowed down and said a few good words to the shopkeeper, and then the dog left with his arms around his waist.
After a while, he came over with two loads of firewood, and the kitchen couldn't fit a little, so the shopkeeper stood it by the wall.
Anyway, firewood is needed every day in their teahouse, such a good firewood, selling five cents is not a problem, and a report with the shopkeeper is a net profit of seven cents, although it is not much, but it is also a small half-day salary. Windfalls are always a joy to behold.
After Liu Yunsheng got the five cents, he left with a thousand thanks, and when he went out, he took a sip, these people are too cheating, and they bargain so hard, so it is difficult to do business these days.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but praise himself in his heart, feeling that he was really a conscientious buyer, even if he met these firewood sellers who urgently needed money to sell firewood, he never lowered the price.
After leaving the store far away, Liu Yunsheng walked around the street twice before returning home and changing out of his tattered clothes.
Liu Man'er heard the sound and saw Liu Yunsheng, so she said hello: "Are you back?" β
"Hmm." Liu Yunsheng walked over, glanced at the softness in Liu Man'er's arms, and said with a doting face: "My Rourou is really good, come, let my uncle hug me." β
Xiao Rourou didn't recognize anyone at this time, and she didn't cry, so she obediently let Liu Man'er transfer it to another embrace.
"The first mission is done, and the rest will be the night." Liu Yunsheng coaxed the child and said to Liu Man'er.
"I'll be with you in the evening." Liu Man'er said.
"Come on, your little arms and legs, you'll be in trouble if you fall and get hurt." Liu Yunsheng shook his head and said, "Call you, I might as well call the two girls in the store." β
"You can call them." Liu Man'er nodded and said, "Someone helps, the action is always faster, originally I wanted you to be with Uncle Han, but Uncle Han's courage is too small, so I won't call him." β
"That's okay, I'll call two girls at night, anyway, don't worry about it, it's right to take care of the children." Liu Yunsheng said.
"Then it's bothering the second brother."
The two siblings exchanged a look, both of which were cunning.
"Brother Liu, why did you come back so early today?" While the siblings were talking, a soft voice came, "I haven't had time to cook yet." β
As soon as Liu Yunsheng saw Yun Niang, the roots of his ears were a little red, scratched his head, and said, "It's not in the way, there is no business in the store today, and I want to see my little niece quickly, so I came back early." β
"I see." Yun Niang touched Liu Yunsheng's eyes, and she was also a little shy, and said, "Then you brothers and sisters will talk, I'll go cook first." β
After saying that, he turned around and walked away with broken steps.
"Hey, Yun Niang, why are you walking so fast." Liu Man'er teased her behind her, and when her figure disappeared, she looked at Liu Yunsheng and said, "What do you think of Yun Niang?" β
"It's good." Liu Yunsheng still scratched his head, the previous aura was gone, and he became a little naΓ―ve.
"Although she was married, she was really a good girl in an IKEA." Liu Man'er said: "I really hope she can have a good home." β
"Hmm." Liu Yunsheng responded absentmindedly, to be honest, he was a little hesitant in his heart, if Yun Niang had not been married, he would definitely ask to marry her, but she had been married, and she could not have children.
There are some things that Liu Man'er doesn't know, Yun Niang has confessed all this to Liu Yunsheng, she is not without feelings for Liu Yunsheng, but knowing her own situation, after confessing to him, she can only pretend to be open-minded, and wish him to find a good lady in the future.
Liu Yunsheng couldn't see through his heart, he felt that he should like Yun Niang, but he was not filial piety, and he couldn't make up his mind, he could only drag and refuse other girls, but he couldn't be sure that he could accept Yun Niang.
Liu Man'er knows that the word love is the most difficult to understand, so she doesn't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, only let them feel it themselves, after a long time, those meaningless things will be washed by time, leaving only the most innocent heart.
Because Liu Yunsheng came back early today, dinner was earlier than usual, and after eating, it was not yet dark, Liu Yunsheng hurriedly went to the shop with a food box.
After Liu Man'er coaxed Rourou to sleep, she began to write a script again, but she was always a little worried, she couldn't write anymore, so she could only take Ye Tianchen to play.
After Ye Tianchen also went to sleep, she went to see Ye He and Cao'er embroidering, which made the two of them feel so strange.
After watching it for a while, Liu Man'er felt bored, and went to compare Liu Fusheng and Ye Feng's homework, until everyone in the family was ready to wash and sleep, she picked up the pen again, and slowly, those messy things receded from her mind, and she only focused on writing the script.
Today is not a special day, at this moment, there is a curfew, except for a few guards and a few officials on patrol, the streets are empty.
A sneaky figure came out of the alley, he looked around, saw that there was no one, and beckoned to the back, and then two more petite figures came out.
The two carried the ladder, and after a while, they came to the door of Liu Man'er's teahouse, put the ladder down, and in an instant, the figure before was scurrying up the ladder and took down the plaque at Liu Man'er's door.
Next, they came to the rouge shop opposite, and removed the plaque of the rouge shop, and then the three of them came to the shopkeeper Mo's Pinmingxuan.
The man before jumped up the ladder and hung the storyteller's plaque on Pin Ming Xuan, and then hung the plaque of Drunken Huayin on the shop opposite Pin Ming Xuan.
As soon as all this was done, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the darkness, "It's dry!" Watch out for the candles! As soon as the three of them heard this voice, they hurriedly ran into the alley on the side.
Tear off the veil on his face, revealing three familiar faces, these three people, Liu Yunsheng, Feihua, and Piaofu, all showed relieved expressions on their faces, and the two maids patted their chests: "It's so exciting, it scared us to death just now." β
Liu Yunsheng didn't speak, only the sound of their heavy breathing was left in the darkness, and when the husband passed, Feihua couldn't help but ask: "Shopkeeper Liu, why are we doing this?" β
"This teahouse wants to trouble the owner, and the owner has asked us to cause trouble, so that he can taste the taste of this self-inflicted fruit." Liu Yunsheng only confessed to the two maids at this time.
"Oh." The two maids nodded, and said with the same hatred: "It's right! Does it work, though? β
"It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, as long as they don't have the intention of harming others, if they have a harmful heart, they will eat the bitter fruit." Liu Yunsheng poked his head out as he spoke, looking at the shop not far away, at this moment, this "Pin Ming Xuan" had become a "storyteller".
The two girls also poked their heads out, and in the dark, two more sneaked over, looking around and looking at the plaques of the shops on both sides.
"Big brother, look, drunk Huayin." One tuggs at another's clothes.
The man laughed, looked across the side, and sure enough, it was: the storyteller.
The two found their purpose, and she was happy, and then tiptoed to the teahouse "storyteller", and after a while, they climbed over the wall.
If it was daytime, they would have been able to easily find out that something was wrong, but at night at the moment, what they were doing was a bad thing, where could they tell so clearly? So I didn't think about it so much, just touched the location of the kitchen, lit a few fires, and left in a hurry.
When they climbed over the wall and disappeared on the street, Liu Yunsheng and the others came out again, hurriedly ran to the doors of the two shops, and took down the plaques again.
After changing the plaque, Liu Yunsheng escorted the two little girls back to their home, and he went to this tea shop again, and saw that there was already a fire in the courtyard.
He stood in the hidden alley, and when the fire grew uncontrollable, he approached the courtyard and shouted, "Go out of the water!" β
Naturally, there was a shopkeeper in the courtyard, and when he heard this sound, he was suddenly awakened, and when he saw that there was a fire outside, he hurriedly took water to extinguish it.
The people in the shops next to them were also awakened and hurriedly took buckets to help put out the fire.
When Liu Yunsheng saw this situation, he was not worried about affecting others, and retreated from the alley.
By the next day, all that was left was the black-gray smoking skeleton of this tea xuan, and it was gently touched and fell down.
The onlookers pointed and pointed, and the people from the government were checking, but they couldn't see anything famous, and they could only attribute it to the carelessness of the people in the teahouse, and the fire at night was not extinguished.
Fortunately, it was discovered early and did not affect the surrounding stores, which is also a blessing in misfortune.
