The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and he is not a hairy boy in his twenties, so he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he has to take his time.

When the two came out of the back kitchen, the time was almost up, and in half an hour, it would be the agreed time, so the shopkeeper Wang beckoned the guys to hurry up and serve the food.

Shen Yingniang stopped, she said: "Wait, let's warm these dishes in the pot first, let's go to the door to greet us, I don't know when Lord Zhao will come, don't wait a while, what do you say?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang is also nervous now, and going out to stand and blow the wind can also make him calm down, so he naturally agrees, but he thinks that Shopkeeper Shen is not necessary, so he said.

"Shopkeeper Shen, or you still wait in the house, I'll go outside and take a look, and once I find Lord Zhao's car, I'll call you out."

Shen Yingniang shook her head: "No, the first time we meet, we still have to leave a good impression, but we can't treat it specially." ”

Shen Yingniang didn't want to be treated specially, her identity as a woman was already special enough.

If she hides inside, and Lord Zhao comes, she will either think that she is a woman and can't endure hardship, or she will think that she is putting up a fight, it is better to stand outside and wait together.

More is better than less, at such a critical moment, Shen Yingniang does not want to give birth to a moth.

Shopkeeper Wang knew that Shen Yingniang had always been a self-reliant person, and since she couldn't persuade her, she would not persuade her anymore, and the two of them stood outside the door and waited together.

Those guys also stood in two rows in the inn according to Shen Yingniang's request, waiting for the distinguished guests to come.

It's just that the guys in the inn can still be lazy, but Shen Yingniang and Shopkeeper Wang can only stand at the door all the time.

Of course, they could send their guys to the side of the street in advance to watch the wind, and come back to remind them when they found the car, but Shen Yingniang felt that she must impress the other party with sincerity this time, so she still used some stupid methods.

However, just standing like this is not a problem, so Shen Yingniang simply talked to Shopkeeper Wang about some of her future plans, which is some layout after winning the spring equinox county.

After listening to Shen Yingniang's detailed introduction, he admired Shen Yingniang even more, and gave Shen Yingniang a thumbs up again and again.

"Shopkeeper Shen, you are really powerful, it seems that our business will really succeed in the future."

Until the time was up, Shen Yingniang's legs began to be a little sore, and there was still no expected carriage coming.

Shen Yingniang frowned and said, "Lord Zhao was delayed by something?" Why haven't you come yet? ”

Shopkeeper Wang also couldn't stand a little, after all, he was older than Shen Yingniang, and he had been standing at the door for nearly an hour, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet, and when he heard Shen Yingniang's words, he hesitated to speak.

"Shopkeeper Shen, why don't we go in and wait, what time is this, it's sincere enough for us to stand here, if Lord Zhao really has something to delay, let's stand here and wait, isn't it a little stupid?"

Shen Yingniang really wanted to impress the other party with sincerity at the beginning, but Lord Zhao was late, it was nothing, doing business sincerely, the other party was sincere, Shen Yingniang naturally doubled the support, but now, ......

Shen Yingniang's eyes darkened, and she agreed with the statement of the shopkeeper Wang: "Then let's go in and wait, send someone to inquire about the news, and then send someone to guard the intersection." ”

Shopkeeper Wang immediately greeted two clever guys and sent them out to run errands, so Shen Yingniang and Shopkeeper Wang sat by the window of the inn and began to use snacks.

I waited too long, and I was indeed a little hungry, and I drank tea while eating snacks, and the shopkeeper Wang rubbed his knees and said.

"Shopkeeper Shen, you said that this Lord Zhao will not not come, ordinary people have made an appointment, but anyone who attaches some importance will arrive a moment in advance, but when it comes to the appointed time, this Lord Zhao has not come yet, I am worried about ......"

"Shopkeeper Wang, we have to be patient now, after all, we are begging others to do things."

Shen Yingniang opened her mouth to interrupt the shopkeeper Wang, but she was also a little unhappy in her heart, after all, in Shen Yingniang's opinion, if she really made the business of Lei Gong Express bigger, it could be regarded as helping Lord Zhao revitalize the economy of Spring Equinox County.

The spring equinox county is so poor, the people are naturally not comfortable, and the crops who rely on the sky for food are the worst, after all, living in the county, even if the economy is not good, they can more or less make a living by selling some things.

But the croppers are different, they have no scruples when they have children, and if they are born and have a conscience, they have to be raised, and not every father and mother are so ruthless to lose their children.

But a family of more than a dozen people, just relying on those lands? If the harvest is good, if the harvest is not good, then you will have to be hungry, Shen Yingniang doesn't believe that Lord Zhao doesn't know this.

Entrenched in the spring equinox county for so many years, if Lord Zhao really doesn't know these people's livelihood and suffering, it is a proper faint official, but judging from the things that Lord Zhao did before, he still has some conscience.

Shen Yingniang had also heard the news that Lord Zhao had built a lot of Salesian homes in Spring Equinox County, specifically taking in some homeless elderly people and children, so it could be seen that Lord Zhao was not a ruthless and mediocre unconscious official.

Therefore, it is even more necessary to talk about business with yourself, but she was late for the first meeting, and Shen Yingniang could only think that the other party was deliberately putting on a show, but unfortunately, Shen Yingniang still thought too well.

Next, Shen Yingniang and Shopkeeper Wang waited for another hour, but there was still no movement.

The shopkeeper Wang was unwilling, pulled the man and asked, "Is it because you have bad eyes?" Did you miss it? ”

The guy said helplessly: "The shopkeeper, the small one really opened his eyes wide, and even if the small one missed it, isn't there a Cui shopkeeper leading the way?" It shouldn't be possible ......"

"Okay, okay, go, go."

Before the man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper Wang, and the shopkeeper Wang directly asked people to go down.

The guy was aggrieved and stepped back.

Shopkeeper Wang thought for a moment before he said to Shen Yingniang: "Shopkeeper Shen, you say...... Could it be something that goes wrong in the middle? Or did the shopkeeper Cui not get things done? I knew that it was not appropriate to hand over the matter to Shopkeeper Cui, his mouth was too stupid! ”

Today's plan is that Shen Yingniang and Shopkeeper Wang will set up a banquet and wait, while Shopkeeper Cui will pick up people, when has it been, and it has been so long to pick up someone?

Shen Yingniang also felt that something might have changed, so she immediately made a decision, and got up directly and said, "Send someone to ask, if something really happens, we may be able to help." ”

Shopkeeper Wang's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes!" Help! ”

It's good to help a little, what helps is to owe favors, even if they are in different relationships, Lord Zhao has to be polite to them.

When the shopkeeper was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, a man hurriedly ran in and said, "Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper Shen is here! Here it comes! ”

The guy looked delighted.

Shen Yingniang and Shopkeeper Wang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly went out to greet them, and sure enough, a simple carriage not far away was driving towards them, and it was Shopkeeper Cui who was sitting in the carriage.

Seeing this familiar face, Shen Yingniang and Shopkeeper Wang should be happy, but both of them noticed Shopkeeper Cui's stiff expression, especially when the other party lowered his head after seeing them.

Wrong!

Shen Yingniang felt bad in her heart.

When the carriage approached, Shen Yingniang couldn't help but take a few quick steps, went down the steps, and took the initiative to meet it, and said with a smile after the carriage stopped.

"Lord Zhao, Shen Yingniang, the shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Building, has been waiting for you for a long time."

Shen Yingniang said this very politely, and then her eyes fell on the face of the shopkeeper Cui, and then she saw the shopkeeper Cui with an expression of swallowing flies.

Shen Yingniang was puzzled, and when she was about to ask something, the carriage curtain was lifted from the inside, and then a man wearing a long robe leaned out...... It's not like Lord Zhao.

And the bearing on her body does not look like that of a magistrate, Shen Yingniang frowned, but she did not show her doubts, she just looked at it curiously.

"Dare to ask if it's Lord Zhao?"

Who knew that the man got out of the carriage and said, "The girl is the shopkeeper Shen, right?" It's not Lord Zhao below, it's the master next to Lord Zhao, Master Dong, Lord Zhao didn't come today, so he specially sent the villain to say it, and I hope that Shopkeeper Shen doesn't mind. ”

said explanations and apologies, but Master Dong had an expressionless and indifferent attitude, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a sincere apology, just a formality.

To sum up, I just didn't take Shen Yingniang in my eyes.

Shen Yingniang's face was not good-looking for a moment, after all, the business has been done for a long time, and most of the people around her are businessmen who value harmony.

Even if Shen Yingniang is not pleasing to the eye in his heart, or he wants to rob Shen Yingniang's business, he has done enough to save face, and he will not lose face with each other, unless there is a grudge in the first place.

But this Lord Zhao ...... Isn't that excessive?

Shen Yingniang thought so in her heart, but she could only show a surprised and regretful expression on her face.

"So that's the case, speaking of which, it's not ours, after all, this meal appointment is in a hurry, we should have made an appointment for this meal earlier or later, we can't compare to Lord Zhao, we are busy with local affairs, and we can't afford Lord Zhao's apology."

The shopkeeper Wang, who was standing next to Shen Yingniang, was staring directly at the shopkeeper Cui at this time, his eyes were full of condemnation, obviously saying:

Aren't you guaranteed to get things done? What about people!

Shopkeeper Cui could only show an aggrieved look, but he didn't explain anything, Master Dong is still here, what can he say?

Today's meal, Shen Yingniang doesn't want to have no gain at all, since she is busy, she must have some gains, whether it is more or less depends on her ability.

So Shen Yingniang arched her hand at Master Dong and said: "Master Dong, you have come all the way, we didn't know each other before, this meal, I originally wanted to invite Lord Zhao and Master Dong to eat together, since Lord Zhao is not here, and Master Dong is a powerful person next to Master Zhao, then this meal is not in vain, and please ask Master Dong to appreciate his face, let's have a meal together today, just as we know each other?" ”

Shen Yingniang was very polite, and after finishing speaking, she also looked at the shopkeeper Cui, at this time, it is time for the shopkeeper Cui to contribute, otherwise would she just look at it like this? It's important to be adaptable.

Shopkeeper Cui understood Shen Yingniang's eyes, so he immediately smiled at Master Dong and said: "Yes, brother-in-law, you are here, Shopkeeper Shen and Shopkeeper Wang both want to know you, since Master Zhao didn't come today, if you are someone next to Master Zhao, then let's go have a meal together." ”

Master Dong glanced at Shopkeeper Cui lightly, although he didn't say anything, his eyes were very sharp, and Shopkeeper Cui subconsciously restrained his expression and stood farther away.
