Chapter 34: New Ways to Make Money
The shopkeeper was late and heard the last sentence.
He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that he definitely couldn't offend the guest, so he hurriedly called Cheng Zhongqian to apologize.
Cheng Zhongqian said with a cold face: "No need, I'm not here to see a doctor." ”
After saying that, he bypassed the shopkeeper and returned to the ox cart, with a chill on his body.
Lingbao looked at the place, turned around and went out to find Daddy.
The little girl can't discern the implicit meaning from the plausible words, but she is sensitive to people's emotional perception.
Cheng Yi couldn't hide something in his heart, snorted at the apprentice, and went out with him.
The shopkeeper looked left and right in embarrassment, and looked at Cheng Yun, who was gentle and good-tempered at a glance: "This ......"
Cheng Yun didn't answer his words, but mentioned turmeric: "Shopkeeper, can you accept it?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded: "How many of you have collected?" ”
It's really a medicinal herb!
Cheng Yun suppressed the surprise and doubts in his heart, and asked indifferently, "What is the price?" ”
The shopkeeper asked if there was any concoction, and after learning that there was not, he said: "Twenty-five wen a catty, how many do you have?" ”
Cheng's family doesn't have a scale, the village chief estimates that it is about fifteen catties, Cheng Yun shook his head and said, "No, you should have a scale, right?" You can weigh it yourself. ”
The shopkeeper immediately asked him to carry the sack.
Cheng Zhongqian stood beside the ox cart, but he didn't even bother to give them a look, and he didn't even move away when it was inconvenient for them to lift.
There is more than one hospital in this county.
The apprentice felt extremely aggrieved, he didn't do anything wrong, didn't he let him in, why was he so careful.
"A total of fifteen catties and a half taels, I'll add you an integer, four hundred wen, it will be regarded as our Miaorentang's reparation, Xiao Langjun, do you think it's okay?" The shopkeeper said.
Cheng Yun smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes: "There is no need for integers, you get what you pay for, how much it should be." ”
The shopkeeper's eyes moved, paused slightly, and nodded with a smile.
After the silver and goods were sold, the shopkeeper asked, "Xiao Langjun, what happened just now?" I also want to apologize to my father. ”
"The shopkeeper may wish to ask him."
The pointed apprentice's scalp tightened, just because he knew the manager's temper, he would definitely be reprimanded.
Cheng Yun bowed slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, and walked out with his eyes ahead.
The shopkeeper saw Cheng Yun say a few words to Cheng Zhongqian, Cheng Zhongqian glanced here, although his face was still ugly, but he was not so cold to him.
The shopkeeper hurriedly wanted to return a smile, but Cheng Zhongqian really just glanced at it, and he actually saw it high up from the bearded face.
Two years ago, he had been to the capital once full of nobles, and the dignitaries there had such expressions. It's not something that can be expressed, but something that comes out of the bones.
came back to their senses, Cheng Yun and they had already left.
The shopkeeper's face sank and he asked, "Tell me, what have you done?" ”
The apprentice shrunk his neck, not daring to hide it, and told what had happened, and said aggrievedly: "He is so dirty, he can get everywhere when he comes in, how troublesome it is to clean up." ”
"Then you're not going to let him in?" The shopkeeper's rhetorical question.
The apprentice argued, "I let him in." ”
"Did you let him in? Anyone who isn't a fool can hear what you mean! The shopkeeper scolded, "Our Miaorentang is to treat the people, the people are poor, how can they be dressed up clean and beautiful?" After a trip to the county office, you don't know who you are? ”
The apprentice was scolded for being embarrassed and ashamed.
...... He was indeed a little flustered.
"Next time I see that Cheng Langjun, remember, you must apologize."
The apprentice nodded repeatedly: "I see." ”
The other side.
The village chief quietly pulled Cheng Yun and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with your father?" It's not nice to look at. ”
Cheng Yun said first: "It's not a big deal. ”
The village chief was relieved.
Cheng Zhongqian urged: "Where is the head shaving stall?" Take me there. ”
Ling Bao also took Cheng Yun's hand and urged, with an excited face: "Come on, big brother, let's go and shave Daddy!" ”
This one is big and one is small, and they are worried about shaving.
"Let's go."
However, the heavens did not grant the wish.
When I arrived at the place, I didn't see a shaved stall.
"Are you in the wrong place?" Cheng Zhongqian asked, "Why is there no one?" ”
Cheng Yun just glanced at it inadvertently before, and he really couldn't be sure that it was here: "Is it really wrong?" ”
"That's right, this is it." The village chief said, "Shave your head." Maybe I didn't show up today, so I'll ask. ”
After a while, the village chief returned: "They said that the boss's family has something to do, and it is estimated that it will take several days to come out of the stall." ”
Cheng Zhongqian was extremely disappointed, he made a mess of himself, and he also suffered from the white eyes of others, isn't it just to shave!
Ling Bao asked in a daze: "Then can't Daddy shave his beard today?" ”
Cheng Yun nodded: "I can only come again next time." ”
Cheng Zhongqian said irritably: "Who is still coming?" I'm not coming! ”
"Dad, don't be angry, it's just not a coincidence, it's the same next time." Cheng Yun is patient.
Cheng Zhongqian said angrily: "If you can't come, you won't come." ”
The village chief thought to himself, who is the father and who is the son.
Luckily, the noodles were spread.
The boss still remembered them, and said with a smile: "It's you, here you are again, how many bowls do you want this time?" ”
Cheng Yi drew a "six" and said happily: "Come to six bowls!" ”
"Okay, I'll put more marinade for you."
After eating, the village chief took out a few copper plates from his arms and was pressed back by Cheng Yun, the village chief was unwilling, he was not the kind of person who loved to take advantage.
Cheng Zhongqian said: "Don't shirk, you drive an ox cart to send us, if you don't want to pay for a bowl of noodles, it's really ridiculous and generous." ”
The village chief scratched his head: "What's generous?" ”
"It's what it means to be laughed at." Cheng Yun said, "So the village chief, take it back." ”
The village chief couldn't help it, so he could only take it back, but he had a little change of opinion about Cheng Zhongqian, and his temper was a little bigger, but he was very good.
Cheng Yun wanted to buy something again, but Cheng Zhongqian didn't want to be embarrassed anymore, so he went to the city gate with the village chief to wait.
After shopping, passing by the bookstore, Cheng Yun paused.
In a trance, I hadn't touched a book for three or four months......
In the past, without being supervised, Cheng Yun did not fall behind in reading and practicing calligraphy, and he still enjoyed it.
"Big brother, do you want to go in?"
Without waiting for him to say that he didn't want to, Cheng Yi pulled him in: "If you want to go, you can go." ”
There are only two or three scholars dressed in the bookstore, quietly, with a unique smell of paper.
Lingbao is already a person who has seen the world, and she doesn't make a fuss at all, there are not as many books here as there are in her library!
Hearing someone coming in, Cheng Yun looked up.
The person who came was wearing a robe with wide sleeves and a scarf on his head, took something out of his bosom and handed it to the shopkeeper, and said unhurriedly: "Boss, you can check if there are any typos or omissions." ”
Cheng Yun didn't understand what they were doing at first, until the store checked it, put the book aside, and gave him a string of copper coins, and suddenly he was stunned.
Manuscript!
