Yuansheng Grain Inn is located in the bustling Xingye Street in the inner city, with a good stall and many people, it is the first business operated by the Cao family, which has been open for more than 20 years and has a good reputation. In addition, they are all excellent rice and noodles, and the purchase channels are unblocked, so the business is prosperous.

As usual, Teng Buying sat in the shopkeeper's room in the middle of the second floor and looked at the account book, when a voice came: "Master!", without looking up, Teng Buying knew that it was his apprentice Lu Youzai. After a pause, he closed the ledger and looked up, "Yes, come in!", his eyes were a little evasive, but his expression was serious.

Lu Youzai bowed his head and walked straight to the master, respectfully. Still wearing a coarse cloth shirt and a small round hat, although he is a big man, he has a family to support, and he has to buy some fields in his hometown, and he does not have enough money.

"Something?", Teng Buting knows this apprentice of his too well, he is very smart and thoughtful. But he doesn't hide what he thinks in his heart, and he can see at a glance that he has something to say.

"Someone asked me to be the shopkeeper, and I agreed.", to his master Lu Youzai didn't want to beat around the bush, this is due to his character.

"Oh!", said softly, this is a matter of time, to stay in Yuansheng for more than a year, this has long exceeded Teng Buting's expectations. Where are you going?", or asked with concern.

"It's the Longxing Grain Stack that went out of business in the outer city, and now it's Tongju.".

Longxing Grain Stack Teng Buting knew that it still couldn't hold up after three years of opening in the cracks, and finally closed down after the year. But he doesn't know about the owner of Tongju Grain Stack, there are as many as they are poured every year, and he doesn't need to know now, as long as he can pose a threat to Yuansheng, he will naturally know when the time comes. But he still asked with concern: "Are you right?".

"It's a protégé of the Marquis of Qingyuan, it's very affectionate, I want to try it.", Lu Youzai didn't hide his thoughts, this is also a routine notice.

"Oh well! Master hopes that you will have a good time.", the twisted melon is not sweet, and it is embarrassing for the two of them to work together, it is better to let him go and do it alone, Teng Buting has long had this meaning, but he can't bring it up himself.

"Thank you Master for all these years of teachings, I will keep it in my heart!", Lu Youzai did not forget to show his loyalty, he didn't want to leave a bad reputation, he had to say what he had to say.

"When are you going to go?".

"Today and tomorrow, I will finish what I have in hand. What else does Master have to explain?", Lu Youzai's eyes looked at his master at this time, maybe this is the last time to listen to the teachings, and it is very likely that he will be a strong competitor in the future.

"Yuansheng will always be your home, I will keep the position of the big guy for you, and work hard there!", Teng Buting said this a little far-fetched, knowing that the apprentice in front of him would not eat back, but he couldn't say anything about it, he had to give people a way back, instead of closing the door and driving the dog as soon as he left.

Seeing that the master agreed so happily, Lu Youzai was a little uncomfortable, and he was stunned for a while, and he didn't make a sound. Teng Buting sensed that he still had something to say, so he asked, "Is there anything you want me to help you?".

"Zhu Xun is always against Haiqing, I want to take him away, so as not to cause trouble to the master, and my nephew Lu Bo.", in fact, there are still people who want to follow themselves, but they just don't want them to put a good income, go out with themselves, not to mention the low income, and the future is bleak, I can't bear it, and the master in front of me will not let go.

This is not too much to ask, Zhu Xun is a stunned young man, always complaining about his master Lu Youzai, and does not put his son in his eyes. Lu Bo has not yet graduated from the school with his uncle, so it is natural to take him away." Good! I'm still the same sentence, you don't have a big guy after you leave, keep it for you!", now that he is the son of the second shopkeeper, he has been idle, this is not a good thing, it is better to let him do the big guy, you can refine him, and you don't owe Lu Youzai, why not?

"Thank you, Master! If there is nothing to do, I will go and hand over the unfinished business, so as not to miss anything.", Lu Youzai looked at Teng Buying in front of him, full of thoughts, and was about to leave, but he couldn't help but be a little reluctant.

Teng Buting hesitated for a moment, and then stopped. Waving his hand, he said, "Go ahead!" The night after tomorrow, I will go to Master's house for dinner and see you off!".

Nazhi Lu Youzai hurriedly stretched out his hand to refuse, "No! I will be busy in the middle of the night after tomorrow, and the next day I will get up and go to the meeting, and then come back to visit the Master.".

Teng Buying was a little surprised, there were many things to handover, although it was very time-consuming, but it was not so much that he couldn't even squeeze out the time to eat. Think about it, since last year, except for the New Year's Festival and my own birthday, I will never come to the house again. That's because of resentment towards oneself and not wanting to get together so as not to be embarrassed. So he nodded and said, "Okay then!" I'll let Haiqing help you.".

also got Lu Youzai's refusal, "No! It's all a broken thing left over, and it can't help the junior brother to come, and it's a waste of his mind.", saluted and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Lu Youzai's departure, Teng Buting was even more emotional, he originally asked this apprentice to be the second shopkeeper, but he couldn't stand the repeated entanglement of his wife, so he changed his mind, but this can't tell him that he still has to save face. I can only blame myself for being weak, I really hope that he will be promising, but he can't be too promising, that will jeopardize prosperity and eventually harm his son. I didn't want to think about it, I didn't want to think about it, I couldn't help but sigh, at this time, his departure might as well be a relief for me.

Lu Youzai happened to meet Teng Haiqing when he came out, he lowered his head in the middle of emotion, and said that there were people coming and going on the second floor, and he didn't notice Teng Haiqing who was coming, and passed by. Originally, there were few greetings in the past year, Teng Haiqing didn't care, just after passing shoulders and walking a few steps, he looked back, he really didn't want to see him, but he would still meet often.

When he came to his father, he saw that he had a sad face, and not only asked, "Father! What's wrong with you?".

Teng Buting didn't rush to answer, and sighed after sitting down, "Your senior brother is leaving Xingsheng!", he couldn't help but feel a little ridiculed when he spoke, but he still continued, "It's good to go!".

Teng Haiqing couldn't see what his father was thinking, so he couldn't help but feel angry, "Dad! You don't want to think about how difficult it is for your son this year, the people below are not looking at it properly, it's not because of him!".

"That's because your senior brother has the ability, you don't send him a star, let alone being a person.", he knows his son Teng Buying too well, and he speaks very directly.

"Then who is your son who has such a help to outsiders?", listening to his father's words, Teng Haiqing was a little emotional, he was no match for Lu Youzai in his eyes, and he spoke very loudly, not talking to his father at all.

"What do you know? As long as there is one heaven and earth, he will surpass your father and even endanger you, you know?".

Seeing his father say such a big thing, Teng Haiqing was disdainful, "Is it enough to have the ability?" Then there has to be a thick owner, don't look at who is in the background of the prosperity?".

Seeing that his son, who couldn't see the reality clearly, was still contemptuous of the other party, he couldn't help but be more worried about his son. But he still suppressed his anger, "There are tumblers, not to mention rising stars, the world is unpredictable!".

Teng Haiqing will see a deeper level, "That's right! Lu Youzai would be so coincidental that he ran into a shit luck?".

Teng Buying flicked his sleeves when he heard this, and said loudly angrily: "Go investigate who is the owner who took over Longxing!" lest you die and don't know it.", said and sat on the chair, overly angry for a while, and couldn't help but panting, after all, he was old and no longer brave.

Teng Haiqing didn't want to go, and felt a little fussed, but after thinking about it carefully, he still listened to the old father, and replied softly: "I will keep it in mind, do you want to tell the second son about this?".

It's right to be cautious, but let's take a look and say, Teng Buting hurriedly waved his hand, "It's not time yet, investigate first, as long as it doesn't threaten prosperity, after all, it's your own family, you have to give it food!".

Teng Haiqing also thinks so, things can't be done too much. If you want to climb on your head, that's another matter." I'll investigate it clearly, and if it's a small fight, I'll open the net.".

Teng Buting didn't want to say any more, his right elbow supported the table, and his right hand supported his brow, he had worried enough this year, but the most annoying thing was his own flesh and blood, "Go!" I'll squint!"..

Teng Haiqing left silently, thinking that the time had come for him to be the master of the house, and he really had to make some achievements, and he couldn't let his father look down on him. There are still a few people who have to be rectified, Lu Youzai is gone, he can do whatever he wants, and gradually establish his prestige.

Thinking about the happiness of rectifying people, I couldn't help but ripple in my heart, especially Zhu Xun's house, if I didn't climb him down, I wouldn't be called Teng Haiqing, and my lips couldn't help but smile proudly.
