I'm against it. As the old pedant's voice fell, there was a moment of silence in the hall.

The shopkeeper glanced sideways at him, and then squeezed a smile from his face and said to the half-cut immortal.

"Lao He, we may have to discuss it again, how about you take your cousin to the backyard to have a look first?"

"Oh, good. The half-cut immortal nodded hurriedly, and as he spoke, he pulled up Li Si and said.

"Come cousin, I'll take you to the backyard. ”

"That's fine. Li Si naturally noticed the atmosphere in the hall, so he could only smile bitterly and follow the half-cut immortal.

The backyard is not large, divided into a firewood room, a kitchen, and a utility room, as well as three guys' housing. Empty shelves for drying clothes, wooden stakes for chopping firewood, benches with a broken leg that had not yet been repaired, and a pile of miscellaneous things made the yard look a little crowded.

"Business is not good during this time, everyone thinks more and has a worse attitude, don't mind. ”

Standing still under the eaves, the half-cut immortal touched his forehead and said.

"Well, I know. Li Si raised his eyebrows and nodded, indicating that he didn't care about this, and then asked to the half-cut immortal.

"Hey, but aren't you the boss behind here, why don't you just look at it and don't help something?"

"Aren't I here?" the half-cut fairy rolled his eyes.

"As for money, I opened a store to make money, not to lose money, if I directly spend money to help them settle this time, then what will I do in the future? Since I am doing business outside, I will inevitably stumble, and they will have to learn to stand firm on their own. ”

"Makes sense. Li Si pursed his mouth and put his hand in his sleeve. Half a sound, he hit the arm of the half-immortal with his elbow and laughed.

"Then you can see it quite thoroughly. ”

"Of course. The half-cut immortal statue patted Li Si's shoulder quite really.

"Don't look at how long I've been in this world, what can't I understand?"

After that, he looked at the sky with vicissitudes of life, as if he had seen through the red dust and had insight into the world.

Yes, give some color and you can open a dyeing shop.

Li Si stopped talking with interest, just looked at the rain in the yard, and asked with a sigh.

"Speaking of which, how long are we going to stand here? ”

It's a rainy day in October, and it's still quite cold.

"I don't know, I'll have to wait for them to call us. Speaking of this, the half-cut immortal lost his spirit, stood by the wall, and rubbed his palms.

······

In the lobby, seeing that Banjuxian and Li Si walked into the backyard, the shopkeeper immediately lay on the table, looked around and asked.

"Okay, now let's talk about what you guys think. ”

"Hey, hey. The handyman girl hurriedly approached the shopkeeper's side, grabbed her hand and asked.

"The new brother is quite handsome, does he have a family?"

"You just look at people's looks. The shopkeeper gave the girl a blank look, and then touched his chin and considered.

"But in this way, he looks white, and can be used to support the façade. Well, you have a useful piece of advice. ”

"yes!" The girl named Xiao Cao saw that Li Si had the possibility of staying, and secretly gestured excitedly.

As for what she said, it was taught to her by a merchant from the Western Regions, and it seemed to mean a good thing when I heard it.

"It's like I've never seen a man. The cook gave her a disgusted look, sat down and continued to nibble on the steamed buns.

"Hey, can I be blamed for this?" said Xiao Cao, who crossed his waist and said to the cook.

"Look at our shop, there are still a few men left since they quit, one is old, one is young, one only knows how to eat, and the other doesn't know when he will leave. I just want to marry someone, am I easy?"

"No, you say who only knows how to eat. The cook stuffed the steamed buns in his hand in a few bites, sat up straight, and looked like he was about to confront Xiao Cao face to face.

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand to stop the dispute, looked at the account room sitting next to him and asked.

"Old Luo, tell me, what do you think, why don't you want him to stay. ”

The bookkeeper called Lao Luo raised his drooping eyes, knocked on the abacus on the table twice, and then said.

"Know the person, know the origin, eyes, body and mind need to be heard······"

The old pedant was only halfway through his sentence when he was impatiently interrupted by the other three people present.

"Speak human words!"

"Whew. Sighing helplessly, Lao Luo put down the account book in his hand and looked at everyone and said again.

"That Li Si doesn't look like an ordinary person, whether it is his demeanor or conversation, or his eyes. And his hands are too white to be a rough worker. ”

There was silence on both sides.

I have to say that although this old Luo speaks in a tortuous way, he does have the ability to look at people. With just a few glances, I noticed all the details that everyone hadn't noticed.

"Also. Lao Luo briefly looked at the ledger in front of him again.

"We have a deficit in this month's accounts, and we can't recruit anyone, and if we don't improve next month, I don't know if everyone here can stay. ”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy, Xiao Cao stopped smiling, the cook was no longer annoyed, the shopkeeper lowered his head, and the trotting hall sitting in the corner also had red eyes.

"Well, forget it. After a long time, the shopkeeper finally made a decision.

"Call Lao He and them. ”

By the time Li Si and Banjuxian sat back in the hall, the air in the hall was obviously a little lower than just now, and the expressions of several people at the table were not very good.

Li Si didn't know how to ease the atmosphere, but he understood that he shouldn't be able to stay.

"Lao He. The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said to the half-cut immortal.

"As for the situation in the store, you know, it can't recruit people anymore. Tomorrow I'll help you ask a few shopkeepers on the neighboring street to see if they still want people. ”

A few shopkeepers on the adjacent street are nothing more than those people in the rice shop and the rouge shop, and the relationship between several shopkeepers in the past was not bad, this little favor should be able to help.

"Oh well. The half-cut immortal was about to agree.

But at this time, Li Si said suddenly.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here this time, mainly because I want to go to my cousin. After all, people who are not familiar with each other have a good relationship with each other. I've heard from my cousin that it's not easy in the store lately. Otherwise, I won't get paid for the next few months, just have food and shelter, and when the situation in the store improves, it's not too late to pay me again. ”

"Bang!"

Li Si's words fell, only to hear the sound of a clapping case, and the shopkeeper was sitting at the table, looking at Li Si with bright eyes.

She didn't hear what Li Si said, she only heard the words "don't get paid".

What she lacks now is such a person, good boy!

"We want this person, who is for it and who is against?"

The cook licked his mouth, it seems that he will have to prepare an extra pair of chopsticks in the future.

Lao Luo, the bookkeeper, started to calculate again, and seemed to be calculating that it would be a few months before he could pay Li Si for his salary.

Trotting Hall looked at Li Si with intent, and in his opinion, Li Si was really a good person.

Xiao Cao's eyes lit up again, and she seemed to have the hope of marrying again.

The half-cut immortal hung his head helplessly, he knew that he should not be able to shake off this trouble.
