It wasn't until Shopkeeper Liang stopped outside the door of a house that Su Qingluan was so familiar with, that she was finally sure that she didn't have an illusion, and she did recognize this family!

Sure enough, as if to confirm Su Qingluan's complaint, the doorkeeper saw Su Qingluan and smiled "Oh, oh" and asked with a smile: "Su Xiaolangjun came to visit my old man again?" Unfortunately, the old man is not at home today. ”

Immediately, the housekeeper Ding turned to look at the shopkeeper Liang, because he was with Su Qingluan, and he brought many gifts, and the janitor Ding was also very polite to him: "Dare to ask ...... this Langjun is?" ”

Shopkeeper Liang reported his name, and then asked, "May I ask if Xu Yuanwei and Xu Langjun's family live here?" I heard that he was not feeling well, so I came to visit him. ”

"Guests come in," the Ding led Su Qingluan and the shopkeeper Liang to the front hall of the hospitality, and brought fragrant tea and snacks, and another servant saluted and announced: "My master will be here later, please sit down for a while." ”

As for the men who followed, they followed the servants to another side hall to rest.

The servants went down, leaving only two people to wait outside the door, and only Su Qingluan and Liang were left in this Ming Hall.

"Xian's niece actually knows Master Xu's family? So why bother asking how to do it? Shopkeeper Liang sighed with a smile.

Su Qingluan shook his head: "Although I know the master here, I don't know that this is Master Xu's house. ”

"Oh?"

"Speaking of which, I know that Uncle Liang should also know," Su Qingluan blinked, "And you also bought something in that shop." ”

"There are so many people surnamed Xu, there are more than ten shops in this town, how can they remember them one by one?" Shopkeeper Liang smiled and took a sip of tea, "The virtuous niece doesn't have to play dumb riddles like this." ”

Su Qingluan sighed in his heart when he heard this: Yes. Didn't she herself never associate Xu Yuanwei, the master chef in the back kitchen, with the courteous and even a bit of fairy style and old man Xu Kekuan?

In the final analysis, although they all have the surname "Xu", this is not too rare surnames after all, such as Aunt Yang and her own aunt, aren't they also the same surname? No one would think that the two are a family member because of this.

As soon as the three words "Lang Moxuan" came out, the shopkeeper Liang understood: "It turned out to be the old man - I passed by his shop today." ”

"How does the old man look?"

"I was just walking all the way at the time, and I saw it carelessly, but the old man seemed to be settling accounts with his buddies at the time."

"Huh?" Su Qingluan was a little surprised, "Old Man Xu and Master Xu should be father and son, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Liang nodded: "Although I have never met Master Xu's father, I have heard him say it a few times, and I can match the appearance of that old man Xu Kekuan." ”

Su Qingluan frowned when he heard this: "Uncle Liang, don't you think it's strange?" The son is sick at home, but the father goes to the shop to do business as always? ”

If the Xu family is very poor and urgent, and they have to pay for medical expenses with the money they work that day, then Xu Kekuan's behavior is very natural.

However, looking at the bright hall around him and drinking the fragrant tea, Su Qingluan said in his heart that it has nothing to do with the word "very urgent", right?

What's more, Uncle Liang also said that Old Man Xu was taking inventory?

Now is not the end of the month, and the inventory needs to be meticulous and patient, if Master Xu is sick, does Old Man Xu still have the leisure to take the account at this time when it is not very necessary?

As if to confirm the various doubts in Su Qingluan's heart, Xu Yuanwei walked into the living room wearing a gray-brown dark pattern collared robe at this time.

His face did not have the haggard look characteristic of a sick person, and even the cloth towel on his head was not messed up, and he did not look like he had just gotten up from bed.

Su Qingluan is the only junior here, and after Xu Yuanwei entered the Ming Hall, she hurriedly got up and saluted first.

Xu Yuanwei nodded, looked at the shopkeeper Liang again, sighed and hugged his fists and said, "The shopkeeper is tired of running on purpose." ”

Shopkeeper Liang obviously also saw that Xu Yuanwei didn't look like he was sick - at least his current mental head didn't seem to be to the point where he was sick in bed and couldn't go to the kitchen.

Although I don't understand why Xu Yuanwei wants to pretend to be sick, but with Liang's shopkeeper dealing with his own chef for many years, Xu Yuanwei has an upright personality, although there are many small problems, but overall it is very reliable.

Such a person will never quit for no reason.

So the shopkeeper Liang's expression became more cautious: "Brother Xu, I think I hired you to be the chef and treat you well, but today is a foolish brother, what did I do wrong, so that you don't feel happy, brother?" ”

Xu Yuanwei's face changed, and finally he simply sat on the empty chair next to him, and asked a little angrily: "Xu Mou doesn't dare, now that he is about to be dismissed, how dare he not be happy?" ”

Although he said "I don't dare", "I'm just not happy" was written clearly on his face.

Su Qingluan was surprised: Should this master say that it is better to have a clear mind, or is it better to be simple-minded? In short...... It's very easy to understand.

He had opinions about Hongfulou and Liang's shopkeeper, so he showed it unabashedly, and even dared to pretend to be sick.

As for offending the shopkeeper, people are not afraid at all.

But think about it, although Xu Yuanwei's craftsmanship is not particularly amazing, it is better to be solid and distinctive, he has been in charge of the kitchen in Hongfu Building all these years, and naturally has a group of loyal diners as supporters, and there are other businesses at home, so naturally there is no need to look at the face of the shopkeeper.

But Shopkeeper Liang didn't feel offended, but just felt very wronged: "Where did the word 'dismissal' come from? "Why doesn't he, the shopkeeper, know?

Xu Yuanwei snorted coldly: "Xu is self-aware, I am a straightforward old man, my skills are not as good as Su Xiaoniang, and I don't have the ability to skillfully send out diners like yesterday, the shopkeeper fired me and hired Su Niangzi, and I was also convinced to lose - but I kept me in the dark, which is really unkind!" ”

At this moment, Su Qingluan also felt wronged: how could this still have anything to do with her? And when did he become hired by the shopkeeper Liang?

Su Qingluan hurriedly explained: "Master Xu, you misunderstood, my relationship with Uncle Liang is only a cooperative relationship at best, and I don't plan to work in Hongfu Building. ”

Shopkeeper Liang was also busy nodding: "The contract I signed with Mrs. Su is still in the restaurant, if my brother doesn't believe it, you can check it?" ”

At this moment, Xu Yuanwei was stunned, and stared at Su Qingluan and Liang Shopkeeper in disbelief: "You haven't coaxed me?" ”

Shopkeeper Liang smiled bitterly: "What are we doing to coax you?" Could it be that we have been running Hongfu Building together for many years, brother, don't you know me? ”
