Chapter 111: Doing Business
How to say, sometimes, the bad relationship between people is mainly a cut and untidy and messy.
When Old Man Mei and Mei Dahu met Mei Youqian on the earliest boat in the early morning, they were silent with each other.
Yesterday, Mei Youqian dared to directly confront Mei Dahu and Mei Yang in public, but this does not mean that Mei Youqian dared to directly confront Mei Old Man and Mei Dahu today.
Mei Youqian didn't mean to cause trouble, and Mei Dahu didn't want to deal with Mei Youqian.
Old man Mei saw Mei Youqian taking Mei You and Mei Berry, and after being silent for a while, he asked, "Are you going to take these two girls to the county to find work?" ”
"Huh?"
Not only was Mei Youqian asked, but Mei Berry and Mei You were also confused, and it took a long time to react to what Old Man Mei asked.
"Didn't you go to the county to find work?"
Looking at the reactions of the three of them, Old Man Mei's expression was also indescribable.
"No, it's not."
Mei Youqian shook his head, "...... brought them over to play."
When Old Man Mei heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.
Playing?
"By the way, Dad, what are you doing here with your eldest brother? Looking for a job? ”
didn't want to be led by the other party, Mei Youqian simply asked them what they were going to do.
"Bring your eldest brother over to play."
Old man Mei is now learning and using.
Mei Dahu: "......"
Mei Youqian: 6
The topic of each other was just talked about to death.
Plum Berry could tell that her grandfather had lost the desire to communicate with her father.
And he and Mei You took the initiative to give up communication a long time ago.
Plum berries bow their heads and play with their fingers on the side;
Mei You turned her head to look at the window;
The two sisters fight one who doesn't cause trouble, and the other doesn't take the initiative to stir up trouble.
The whole body reveals a sense of alienation of "don't suffer Lao Tzu, or I will be crazy to show you".
However, not talking to each other does not mean that each other is not careful.
Mei Berry lowered his head to play with his hands, and from time to time raised his eyes to look at Old Man Mei and Mei Dahu sitting opposite them.
Mei Berry saw that the two of them were dressed in simple clothes, their hands were empty, and they didn't bring anything.
That's even worse than their family.
After all, Meiberry is still carrying a small satchel, and her father is still carrying a bamboo basket.
Looking at it this way, it does look a little strange for this father and son to go to the county.
They weren't like Plum Berry and her dad were really inexperienced in the city for the first time yesterday, and they didn't need to do it.
They don't need to take them with them for what they do.
And Old Man Mei's eyes also fell on Meiberry and Meiyou from time to time.
The two little girls seem to have grown a lot.
Compared to looking at home, both the size and temperament are very different from the past.
Especially Mei You, the big change is amazing.
In comparison, the little girl of the second family seems to have changed little.
It's just that Old Man Mei just thought so, and as a result, he looked at Mei Berry coldly.
The black and white eyes look at people from below, and the feeling of blue sky and white day is still a little scary.
Old Man Mei: "......"
Mei Berry also immediately staggered his eyes, and he howled in his heart about the captured bag he had just peeked at, and the overlapping fingers were also pinched a little tighter with each other at the moment.
But fortunately, Old Man Mei didn't say anything after that, and the five of them were okay with each other.
When they got off the boat, Mei Youqian specially took his daughter and niece to wait behind Old Man Mei and them, and the three of them did not get off the boat until they got off the boat.
After getting off the boat, Mei Youqian and Mei Berry went their separate ways.
However, there are also a lot of people entering the city, and when they get to the city gate, Meiberry and Meiyou have to queue up to enter.
Mei Berry stood in the team and looked forward, but looked back but never saw the figure of the old man Mei who was one step ahead.
Just as she retracted her gaze and thought that they might go in first, Mei Berry suddenly saw that the old man Mei and the two men were actually walking in the opposite direction.
The two of them did not enter the city, but walked towards the mountains outside the city.
Just when Plum Berry wondered if they were going to other places if they didn't go into the city, Plum Berry saw that many people were leaving the city while they were queuing.
Those directions seemed to be the same as Old Man Mei.
"Auntie, do you know what these people are doing when they go out of the city? How did I watch the way up the mountain? ”
Meiberry turned her head to look at the kind aunt behind her, and tried to talk.
Sure enough, the one who seemed to know the truth looked at Mei Berry and said, "Girl, you haven't been to Jinyun County much, have you?" That direction is to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. ”
"Ah, the temple?"
"That's right, make a wish!"
Plum berry felt even more ridiculous when she heard it.
Her grandfather took her uncle up the mountain to worship the Buddha?
"What's wrong?" Mei You lined up, listening to Mei Berry's chirping behind her, who seemed to be talking to her, and when she turned her head, she saw that Mei Berry had just turned around.
The doubts on his face that have not yet dissipated look very conspicuous.
"Just now, I saw that my grandfather and uncle seemed to have gone to the temple."
"Oh, what's the problem?"
Mei You doesn't think there's anything wrong with Old Man Mei asking God and worshiping Buddha, after all, they don't talk to you about science in this era.
"I didn't ...... I just didn't think they would pray to God and worship Buddha......"
Mei Berry was still thinking about her check-in to investigate the identity of the old man Mei, she looked up at Mei You, and saw that Mei You had no doubt about this, so she didn't say anything more.
Sooner or later, she will have to subtly let the heroine face up to this check-in task.
***
After the two of them entered the county seat, Mei You did not immediately choose a store, but first inquired about the famous rouge gouache shop in the county, as well as the store that sold groceries.
According to the priority level, they first went to one of the best rouge gouache shops here, Linlang Pavilion.
It's just that the two of them just stood at the door of He Linlang Pavilion, but they were directly blasted open with a broom by Xiao Er at the door.
Before they could even say anything, they heard the shopkeeper say directly: "Alas, go and go, here is where a little lady like you can come in?" Just buy some from the big roadside stalls, go and ......"
"You ...... man"
Mei Berry was directly angry with this wave of dog's behavior of looking down on people, and just wanted to have a seizure but was pulled by Mei You.
Mei You glanced at the shopkeeper, and then saw that the shopkeeper in the store was courteously entertaining those little ladies in brocade clothes and jade ornaments.
From the perspective of the shopkeeper, he could definitely see what the shopkeeper was doing, but the other party's indifferent appearance, Mei You directly blacklisted this Linlang Pavilion in his heart.
By the way, I pulled the plum berry who wanted to talk about the second little shop.
"Let's go, they'll regret it."
After Mei You finished speaking, she turned around, and when she heard her say this, the shopkeeper sneered, and Mei You was not annoyed when she heard it.
Mei Berry turned her head and stared at the plaque of Linlang Pavilion several times, as if she wanted to engrave this store directly in her heart!
The shop is a big bully!
Mei You took Mei Mei to another shop they had previously favored.
Although there are not many people at the door of this shop, because of the good geographical location, the large shop, and the goods and other ornaments in it are also good, they are considered by Mei Yousu.
The name of this shop is also very interesting - Jiubaoxuan.
"Do you need any help from the two little ladies?"
Jiubaoxuan's Xiao Er's attitude also looked much better than the guys in Linlang Pavilion before.
Seeing Mei Berry and Mei You standing at the door for a while, they didn't think if they could afford it, so they stepped forward and asked.
"We have a business we want to do with your shopkeeper."
Mei You looked calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and told Xiao Er about her intentions, but the other party was surprised.
He looked at the two young women in front of him, just mocking, not impatient, and only let the two of them enter a store.
During this period, he asked again, what kind of business is he going to do?
Mei You looked at Mei Berry, and Mei Berry took out a goat's milk soap in her waist bag.
Xiao Er only glanced at it, and then said, "Wait a moment", he wanted to take the goat milk soap in Mei Berry's hand with both hands, and Mei Berry did not hesitate, anyway, she still had a few pieces in her bag.
The shopkeeper who took the goat milk soap walked towards the back of the store.
"This little two looks a little big-hearted."
Mei Berry tilted his head and whispered to Mei You about his discovery: "He saw his attitude towards us, and after welcoming us in, he didn't see any other juniors in such a big shop, so relieved that we are here?" ”
"Because the valuable ones are not put on the surface, they will be dropped." Mei You glanced at the items in the store just now, and she could only say that they were average.
Although there is everything, nothing stands out.
No wonder business is bad.
Mei You thought.
After a while, Xiao Er walked out, made a gesture of invitation, and only said: "Today, our owner happened to come here to check the accounts, and I saw that the things provided by the little lady were very novel, and I wanted to talk about this business with the two little ladies, and I also invited the two of you to step into the side hall." ”
When Mei Berry heard this, she frowned, such a mysterious appearance made her heart beat a drum.
If she had known, she should have dragged her father over.
This little two doesn't think that the two of them are girls and think that it is not good for them to trick them into a place where no one is, right?
"Trouble leads the way."
Mei You is calm, not worried that the other party will harm herself.
Seeing that Mei You was so calm and not afraid, Mei Berry also followed with a slight reassurance.
"Huh? Little lady of the Mei family, why are you here? ”
Mei Berry and Mei You had just entered the side room of the shop to entertain distinguished guests, when they heard a familiar voice.
As soon as Mei Berry looked up, he saw Lin Shoucai and another ordinary-looking middle-aged man standing left and right in the middle of a man in black.
Half of the man's face was also wearing a mysterious silver mask with intricate patterns, and a pair of sharp eyes instantly locked on Plum Berry when she looked at him......
Xie Changchen: I have left, don't cue.
