Chapter 136: The Xu Family
But after that, Sun Li didn't say much, just nodded, and then walked straight towards Song Daquan.
Song Daquan was indeed counting the accounts, more than a dozen account books fell on the table in front of him, one hand kept flipping, and the other hand was holding a brush to write and draw, so busy that he didn't even have time to wipe off the sweat left on his head.
Moreover, Song Daquan was extremely engaged, and it wasn't until Sun Li walked to the front of the counter and knocked on the countertop that Song Daquan realized that someone was coming. The head was slowly raised, his eyes quickly swept, and he fell back to the ledger, and while continuing to calculate the accounts, he spoke without a match.
"Well, guest, do you have anything to do? If you settle the bill, just talk to the person who runs the hall, and if you don't think the service is considerate, you can tell the manager over there that you will definitely deduct the guy's salary. And if the food is not right, you can also tell the steward to let him deduct the cook's money, and you will be satisfied anyway. ”
"However, I think the shopkeeper of this restaurant is incompetent, who should I talk to?"
"Ahh......h I...... Sun Gongzi!"
Saying the last word, Song Daquan suddenly exclaimed, but as soon as his voice came out of his throat, he seemed to remember something, and then slapped it in his mouth, and he blocked the last three words in his mouth.
Sun Li smiled, "Boss Song, don't worry too much about it now, you can call me by my name." ”
"Oh. Song Daquan put his hand down from his mouth at this time, looked at Sun Li with a look of surprise, and said, "Sun Gongzi, why are you here?" By the way, your senior sister left a few days ago, saying that she was looking for you, I don't know if you have met it." Also, the business of these three stores is a little too good now, I don't think I can see it in a snapshot, why don't you hire another shopkeeper?"
"I know about Senior Sister, don't worry. As for the shopkeeper's affairs, you don't have to worry too much, the three stores are still in charge of you now, and as for the problem of being too busy, I will write a charter to you later. ”
"Oh. Song Daquan nodded, and then continued, "And, there's more." The vinegar master who has a vat of aged vinegar has been getting older lately, and he needs to hire a new one. On the opposite side, there is an inn house, which is also somewhat dilapidated and needs to be repaired. In addition, there were two stewards in this restaurant before, one of them was sick and returned to his hometown, and now there is only one left, I want to choose one more from the guys, but it has not been decided yet. ”
"If the vinegar master is to stay, let him stay, let him just use his mouth to command, and if you really can't do it, you must invite someone who has experience. If the inn house is dilapidated, repair it, remember, it should be repaired in batches, and don't let the inn close. And, don't be afraid to spend money and hire the best masons. As for the person in charge, this ...... Well, don't you have a guy named Wei Xiaobao under your hand, I think he's good. If you can, let him act as an agent for a few days, and then talk about it. ”
"Oh. Song Daquan nodded, his face obviously relieved, but then continued, "By the way, there is also that ......"
"Stop!" Sun Li saw that the form was wrong, and if he continued like this, Song Daquan had to explain all the problems in the past four months. However, this is not his goal at all, he is not here to check the class, it seems that he should not have said the sentence "dissatisfied with the shopkeeper" just now.
"Stop" Sun Li waved his hand to stop Song Daquan from continuing to speak, and said with a bit of solemnity, "Boss Song, you can just watch and do the rest of the things, don't ask me." I'm here today mainly because I have something to do with you. “
"Something?"
"Yes, there is something. I want you to help me find someone, or rather, find this person's family. ”
"Who?"
"His name is Xu Youcai, and he entered Jinhua Mountain with me with the Daoyuan card, and he should also be a rich and noble family in Ping'an County. ”
"Surname Xu?" Song Daquan frowned and thought about it, "There is a family in the south of the city that seems to be surnamed Xu who bought vegetables and made a fortune, a family in the east of the city that sold dog meat and made a fortune is also surnamed Xu, and there is a family in the west of the city that sells baked cakes and seems to be surnamed Xu...... I really have to inquire about this to find out which one it is. ”
"Well, you try to ask, but be quick. By the way, if I'm not mistaken, this family has had a white affair recently. ”
"White matter?" Song Daquan was stunned, but Sun Li nodded, "It's a white matter, tell me after you find out." ”
"Good. Song Daquan answered, then walked out from behind the counter and began to order people to go, but Sun Li was beating on the counter rhythmically with one hand, looking at the corner where no one was around, and said to himself, "Xu Youcai, Xu Youcai......"
......
I have to say that Song Daquan's work efficiency is still quite fast, less than half an hour, Sun Li just finished writing the latest charter in the private room on the second floor, Song Daquan hurriedly ran in, "Sun Gongzi, Sun Gongzi, I found it." ”
"Found it? Sun Lidao, while handing the constitution he had just written to Song Daquan, asked, "Which one is it, the one that sells vegetables in the east of the city, dog meat in the south of the city, and roast cakes in the west of the city?"
"Oh...... Neither. ”
"Neither?"
"Yes, none of the three just now, the person you are looking for should be a family in the north of the city that sells grits. Song Daquan replied seriously, "The owner of this grits shop, Old Man Xu, is said to have fled more than 20 years ago, and he opened a small shop with the help of the people of this county. And this old man Xu is also grateful for his kindness, his family's grits are more than those given by other families, so people are willing to go to him to eat, and he will slowly make a fortune.
However, in recent years, the price of rice and meat has risen, and Lao Xutou is still a big bowl full, and the price has not changed, but he doesn't make much money. So before, when Sun Gongzi said that he was a rich and noble family before, I didn't think about Old Man Xu here. And just now, I asked people to inquire, and I learned that Old Man Xu had a son named Xu Youcai, and he died without knowing why. The day before yesterday there was a funeral, and tomorrow it will be a funeral.
It is said that the old Xu Tou is such a son, and he doesn't know if he can stand it, alas, God doesn't bless good people. Why, Sun Gongzi, you ......"
"Okay, I got it. Sun Li said in a low voice, his face was a little ugly, and then he looked at Song Daquan, "How much silver can be used on the account now?"
"About six thousand taels of silver. ”
"Okay, take out four thousand taels and exchange them for a silver ticket, I want to use it. Also, send me someone to show me the way. ”
"Oh, I'll do it right away. Song Daquan nodded, turned around and left, returned after a while, handed a thick stack of silver tickets worth 100 taels to Sun Li, and said, "The person who guides the way is waiting outside the restaurant, Sun Gongzi, do you call him over now, or ......?"
"You don't have to call him over, I'll go out. Sun Li stuffed the silver ticket into his clothes, turned around and walked out of the restaurant, and then saw a familiar face waiting for him.
Dressed in a coarse cloth shirt in green clothes, with a slightly thin figure, and a shrewd and capable face, it is not Wei Xiaobao before, who else will it be.
