The drizzle, like fog and silk, shrouded the entire empty street, as if covered with a light veil, moisturizing things silently.

The streets are a little wet, with few pedestrians, and the occasional passerby is hurried and hurried.

Li Mubai, who was bored in the lobby, couldn't help yawning, rubbed his eyes and muttered, "It's so boring." ”

"Xiaobai, you're bored, aren't you? Look at the table, it's greasy everywhere. You haven't even cleaned up properly, and you're still sitting here stupidly and saying it's boring?"

A woman in a bright red dress lifted the corner of her skirt with one hand and walked slowly down the stairs.

Li Mubai had no intention of getting up, supporting his chin with one hand, and said casually: "Shopkeeper, look at it, how can there be anyone in this ghost weather?

Seeing Li Mubai's tired look, the shopkeeper was angry, and scolded: "You know that you quibble, you won't clean up if the weather is bad? You are lazy to make excuses, what should you do if the guests come? Seeing this, is there anyone still coming to eat? When I first came, I was quite diligent, but now, it has been less than a month, and I have become lazy, why did I recruit you in the first place?"

The shopkeeper glared at Li Mubai, chattering endlessly.

Li Mubai didn't say a word, and it was easy to wait for her to take a breath, and she was busy making a sincere and frightened appearance: "Shopkeeper, don't say it, I'm afraid of you, I'll go right away."

The shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction: "Knowing mistakes can improve a lot, people can be poor but not lazy." You have to remember that people are poor for a while, and people are lazy and poor for a lifetime. What about the others?"

Li Mubai replied while wiping the table: "Brother Zhou is busy in the kitchen, Brother Tang is in the backyard, and as for the monkeys...... Look there. ”

Following the direction pointed by Li Mubai, the shopkeeper walked over and saw the monkey sleeping behind a pile of books at the counter.

The shopkeeper picked up the feather duster on the side and pumped it on the counter, and with a "snap", the monkey was startled and jumped up, with a blank face: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Hearing this, the monkey immediately regained his consciousness and smiled: "Isn't this the shopkeeper?

The shopkeeper sneered and said, "If I don't come down, how can I see someone sleeping here in broad daylight?"

The monkey rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it a little difficult to read a book last night and see the highlights and can't extricate yourself? Besides, there are no guests anyway, right?"

"Reading a book?" The shopkeeper raised his voice.

The monkey nodded again and again, and the shopkeeper poked the monkey's chest with the feather duster in his hand, and his pretty face was shrouded in anger: "Do you think I met you on the first day? Look at you, you're twenty-three or four, you're still alone, you don't even have a daughter-in-law, can't you have a snack? Read a book? You fool yourself? Read the little yellow book is about the same! Also, the lack of guests is the reason why you are lazy, it seems that I am too indulgent to you!"

The shopkeeper's chest was constantly rising and falling, and the waves were turbulent, obviously because he was so angry.

Li Mubai ran over at some point, holding a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Come, shopkeeper, drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger, don't be like this monkey, it's not worth it if you are angry!"

The monkey looked at Li Mubai with a dog's leg, and pointed at Li Mubai with his finger: "You ......"

"You what you. Li Mubai slapped the monkey's hand away, "Look at you, you can't grow a little bit and make the shopkeeper angry like this!"

The monkey looked at Li Mubai in disbelief as if he had eaten a piece of Xiang: "I ......"

Before the monkey could speak, Li Mubai interrupted directly: "What am I, just know that you are wrong!"

The shopkeeper praised: "Xiaobai's consciousness is very high, and he will change his mistakes, unlike some people who die without repentance, and they have to quibble!"

The shopkeeper glanced at the monkey, the monkey was powerless to argue, his face was gloomy, and he said, "Xiaobai, you have changed!"

Li Mubai turned his head away from looking at him: "No way, this is society! We can only keep adapting, and we are powerless to resist!"

"So you're cheating me like this?" The monkey glared at Li Mubai.

Li Mubai's expression was indifferent, and he said: "Dead Dao friends don't die in poor Dao, so ......"

The monkey was so disappointed that he said hatefully, "What a wicked society!"

The shopkeeper took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, you two don't play treasure here, bring Liuxiang and the Quartet, and we'll have a meeting." ”

"Oh!" the two nodded obediently, and then went separately to call someone.

After a while, everyone arrived, and the shopkeeper sat in the first place, looked around, and said, "I called you to come to the meeting today because the recent business of our inn is really bad, do you have any solutions?"

The four of them looked at each other, and in the end, Tang Liuxiang spoke first: "Shopkeeper, business has been bad recently, it's because God doesn't appreciate food, and it has rained for five or six days, so I can't help it!"

The shopkeeper sighed helplessly, she didn't know the reason, but no one came to the door for several days, she was in a hurry!

Li Mubai suddenly spoke at this time: "Shopkeeper, we can hold a discount activity to see if we can attract people." ”

"It's useless, not to mention how many people it can attract, and how much money it doesn't make in the first place, isn't it not profitable to do this?" the monkey retorted.

The monkey's original name was Hou Yaozu, born in a scholarly family, but unfortunately his family was in the middle of the road, and he made an account room in this Hongchen Inn, because he was thin and had no two or two meats, and his surname was Hou, so he was called a monkey.

"Then we can raise the price first, and then discount!" Li Mubai remembered the methods of those unscrupulous merchants in his previous life.

When the shopkeeper heard this, his expression was serious: "Xiaobai, although I really want to make money, but I can't go to people, honesty is the king, you don't have to talk about this crooked way!"

Li Mubai touched his nose and smiled, not annoyed, but admired the shopkeeper very much, a gentleman loves money in a good way, it is easy to say, but under the temptation of money, how many people can do it?

"Shopkeeper, why don't you study new dishes?" It was Sifang who had been silent all the time who spoke, with big shoulders and a round waist, thick hands and feet, and not tall, which really responded to his name - "Sifang".

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "The dishes you cook are still very good, but the problem now is that there is no one, and it has nothing to do with this!"

The shopkeeper swept the crowd again: "Looking at your appearance, I guess there is nothing I can do, let's disperse! Close the door early today, and everyone will rest early." ”
