The next day, Tang Tong went to Tongju Grain Stack again, and Lao Guo had already begun to prepare the continuation noodles, because some raw materials were not enough, and there were not many preparations. Now the person in charge of the grain stack is Min Rongchao, he can only control the overall situation, and he is not good at the business of the grain stack, so he can only be responsible for management matters, and the specific operation is still very lacking.

Tang Tong felt that it was necessary to find a grain store shopkeeper as soon as possible, and this matter was discussed many times with Wu shopkeeper, and Wu shopkeeper did not have a suitable candidate, so he could only look for it slowly. Tang Tong also thought about promoting one of these guys from the grain store, but after the inspection, none of them could really expand the territory. If the shopkeeper can't find it, you have to go to other grain stacks to dig up one or two guys who are really good at it, especially the big guys.

Tang Tong took this idea to Tongxing Changnan Goods Store to find the shopkeeper Wu, and when he heard Tang Tong explain this meaning, the shopkeeper Wu suddenly patted his head, "Why didn't I expect that the big guy does have such a choice, he is Lu Youzai of Yuansheng Grain Store.".

Shopkeeper Wu then told Lu Youzai about the situation. Yuansheng Grain Stack is the Cao family's industry, and there are five branches in the inner city, except for the Xingsheng Grain Stack of the Qi State Gongshang family, there is no one who can compare with it. But they sell rice and noodles, not grains. Lu Youzai has worked in Yuansheng for more than ten years, and he is still a big guy. The affairs of the five branches are all in Zhang Luo, and the current shopkeeper is his master.

Although he is so capable, he has nothing to do with him when he is the shopkeeper, because his second brother is also his master's only son, and his ability is also very strong, and the master intends to cultivate his son, so he is a little disheartened. Tang Tong thought about it and decided to go to meet this Lu guy, and it would definitely not work to go directly to Yuansheng to meet, so he could only find another way.

Lu Youzai also lives in the outer city, but sometimes it is too late, so he lives in the store with his buddies. Tang Tong told the shopkeeper Wu to pay attention to it, and if he was at home at night, he would visit. Since tomorrow and Min Rongchao will go to Tongheng Coal Stack, they can only push it back. Reading books during the day and practicing at night, as long as there is time, no matter the wind or rain, it is not interrupted, and every day is naturally very busy.

When I was ready to go on the road in the morning, Su Su went home and walked together. Tang Tong and He Wang rode horses, Min Rongchao and Su Su rode in a carriage, Xiao Ningzi drove the car, and the five of them went to Fengkou Town together. Tang Tong and He Wang talked and laughed without any worries, Su Su and Min Rongchao were not familiar with each other, so they kept silent.

When they arrived at the Tongheng Coal Stack, the shopkeeper Hu Fuhou ushered in, and Tang Tong asked about the situation. The briquettes according to Tang Tong's request have been made. Tang Tong tried to put briquettes into the stove to burn, and found that there was a problem with the stove, so he asked Hu Fuhou to hire a good stove master to improve the sealing and warmth of the stove. Hu Fuhou is Tang Tong's old neighbor in Xuanfu, and Tang Tong was specially invited to be the shopkeeper of the coal stack. I ate some indiscriminately at Hu Fuhou's house, and also went to Feng's house to take a look, Feng Susu's mother's illness was no longer hindered, and she was able to do heavy work, Feng Susu's parents were very grateful to Tang Tong, and repeatedly asked their daughter to wait for Tang Tong, which made Feng Susu embarrassed.

Since Min Rongchao wanted to organize the Tongheng coal stack, he would go to Zhoukou Village tomorrow to take care of the water mill, so Tang Tong and He Wang rode east through the Taiping Bridge to the inner city, and then transferred to the outer city of Tang Mansion.

Lu Youzai lives in Mao'er Hutong on Youquan Street, which is very close to Wanquan Inn when Tang Tong first came. I happened to be passing by with He Wang that night, so I got up to visit him.

The area around Youquan Street is also a very prosperous street in the west of the outer city, and the sky is bustling with black people. When I was about to go to the front alley in front of Mao'er Hutong, I found that it was crowded, and there was a family to do a happy event. As long as it is a passing person, there is a piece of glutinous rice, if you are hungry and anxious, you can ensure a day's hunger, Wen Xun came to crowd the alley, don't underestimate this piece of glutinous rice, it is also a large amount of expenditure, the average person can not afford it, it seems that this family is really open.

Looking for someone to ask Lu Youzai how to go, he didn't want the person to shout directly to a person not far away: "Youzai daughter-in-law, someone is looking for your man.", while saying and beckoning the person to come over.

The woman came with the two children in her arms, looked at them and asked, "Who is looking for my house?"

He Wang pointed to Tang Tong and solemnly introduced, "This is our master, I have something to discuss with Lu Da's guys.".

The woman looked at Tang Tong for a while, but she was a person in the army, and it was not easy to find out in front of everyone. Shaking his head, he said: "He didn't go home, he went to the grain store to find him.".

The two children around him, the eldest is a girl who is about ten years old; The youngest boy is only five years old, one hand is held by his mother, and the other hand is holding glutinous rice cakes. The girl holding the hand has been let go, and apparently the son is more important.

Tang Tong looked at the boy and was still chattering after eating the glutinous rice cakes, which was not a good thing, indicating that his family was poor. So he instructed He Wang: "You go buy some food for the two children!", He Wang heard the sound and went.

Wait and wait, and then ask the woman, "When will the big man Lu come back?".

"Who knows, one day I'll come back in a bad mood.", it seems that the daughter-in-law also knows her husband's difficulties, and she doesn't care, she only cares about the snacks her son wants at this time, and is waiting a little impatiently.

He Wang didn't turn around, and Tang Tong didn't want to leave alone, so he had to stay aside. At this time, a familiar voice came, "Brother Tang!" Why is it here?", Tang Tong didn't need to look back, he knew that it was Chen Dingxian.

Tang Tong, who turned around, saw Chen Dingxian and three peers, Chen Dingxian beckoned them, "You go in first, I'll be there later.", and explained to Tang Tong, "They are all neighbors, so coincidentally met Brother Tang here?".

Tang Tong didn't want to explain, and seemed very casual: "I happened to pass by and went to meet an acquaintance. Chen Shao came to this house as a guest?", afraid that Chen Ding would ask first, so he changed the topic.

Chen Dingxian nodded and invited very warmly: "This family and I are distant relatives, and we have known each other for many years. If Brother Tang has nothing else to do, let's go and have a good time.", said and went to drag Tang Tong.

Tang Tong is a person who doesn't like to join in the fun, so he waved his hand and refused, "It's not good!" I'm still waiting for me to go back at home, so I won't bother, Chen Shao, go ahead!", he said and pushed Chen Dingxian's hand away.

But his hand was blocked, Chen Ding was determined to Tang Tong at first, and simply dragged him away. Very sincerely; "My brother hasn't seen him for a long time, and then I went to see the beauty, and if I missed it, I would regret it for half my life.".

It seems that he has regrets and wants to find someone to listen to. Tang Tong didn't want to get rid of Chen Dingxian again, so he left him alone, dragged on for a while, followed him, turned around and waved his hand to He Wang. then said to Lu Youzai's daughter-in-law on the side; "Some things are not good to say in public, I will not be too late to visit next time.", followed Chen Ding first.

When you enter the courtyard, you can see that it is a courtyard house, which is about the same size as the scholar's housekeeper. Chen Dingxian sighed and said, "This house was given by my brother, and it has been some years, do you know who the groom is?".

Tang Tong shook his head and said that he was not interested. Chen Dingxian didn't want him to answer, and quickly continued: "Dali Temple Qing Jin Shijun, how can we compare with it.", the resentment in his words was extremely deep, and Tang Tong was also involved.

Tang Tong was noncommittal, it had nothing to do with him, let him say. Chen Dingxian didn't care about Tang Tong's reply, his eyes were still looking for something, and he kept looking around.

At this time, the son of this family greeted him, waved his hand and said, "Chen Shao! You're late, the brothers are waiting for you.", seeing the face of life, he looked at Tang Tong and asked, "Who is this?".

Chen Dingxian introduced very vigorously, "Mr. Tang Qian, the owner of Tongxingchang.".

The boy immediately changed his face and waved his hand respectfully, "Even the arrows are like thunder. I have long wanted to get acquainted, in Shimoda Changdong.", he looked very stammering, not because Tang Tong was an official, but because of his murderous shocking force.

Tang Tong waved his hand very casually, "Brother Tian is lucky!".

Tian Changdong stretched out his hand, "The two of you go to the living room and sit and drink tea!".

The three of them came to the living room, there was no other person sitting, it seemed that the Tian family did not have valuable relatives and friends, Chen Dingxian should be the most famous, otherwise how could there be no distinguished guests in the living room. The Tian family is Tian Changdong's principal, and the fact that the father in charge of the family does not come forward is a strong proof.

After drinking tea for a while, Chen Dingxian was a little uncomfortable, "Brother Tian doesn't need to greet the two of us, there is something to do!"

Tian Changdong hurriedly shook his head, "Chen Shao is a distinguished guest, the matter has been done properly, and there is nothing to be busy with, and I want to rest.".

Having said so, Chen Ding is not good at first and then forced. He also saw that Tian Changdong seemed to have something to ask for, and said very casually: "Please tell us if you have anything, just as we are a family, don't be too polite!".

Tian Changdong hesitated, a little embarrassed. But he still spoke cautiously, "I don't know many officials, can Chen Shao support me tomorrow morning, I'm afraid that my brother-in-law will look down on me.".

Chen Dingxian is in this dilemma, firstly, he has no official position, and secondly, Jin Shijun treats people harshly, for fear that he will be careless for a while and lose face. At this time, I happened to see Tang Tong and suddenly had an idea.

Picking up the shelf, he said to Tian Changdong: "This is the reason why I brought Brother Tang here, with the two of us, I will definitely not let Brother Tian lose face, and kill Jin Shijun's prestige.", said and turned his head to look at Tang Tong, "Brother Tang!" Tomorrow you come in official uniforms, and we will increase the momentum of Brother Tian together.", gestured a few times as he spoke, hoping that Tang Tong could understand..

Tang Tong had long known that Chen Dingxian was a person who wanted to save face, and he didn't care about the feelings of others. Under the roof of others, he had no choice but to be aggrieved, and nodded hurriedly, "Just do what Chen Shao said!".

Chen Dingxian smiled heartily, and it was not difficult to talk to someone who understood. Tian Changdong was even more grateful from the bottom of his heart, and kept giving his hand, "Thank you!" Thanks a lot! Let my sister hold her head up.".
