The Landlord And His Wife

Chapter 74: : troublesome boy

    Liu Xuer could only stand still, Shi Cheng's father had seen it, smiled and waved her hand to signal her to do her own thing, and Liu Xuer also couldn't care about being polite, so she quickly lowered her head and wrote it down.

    When I look up after a while, there is no one outside.

      To her: "Put the money on when you have time!"

    This hemp rope is two cents a piece, and now it’s not for sale, I can’t use it all!

    Liu Xuer can only find time to thread the money into the hemp rope, count a thousand coins and tie it, this is a coin. After wearing it twice, I saw a few swaying teenagers coming to the door, all about thirteen or fourteen years old, looking like a rogue.

    Liu Xuer was taken aback and was about to call Shicheng when Shicheng called out, "Wait a minute!" and jumped out.

    The teenagers shouted when they entered the door: "Where is the shopkeeper? Where is the shopkeeper?!"

    Liu Xuer was so shocked that she put the silver box under her feet and kicked it into the counter. Those teenagers came over to the counter, and when they saw a child standing inside, they slapped the counter fiercely and shouted, "Why is it a child? Where's the shopkeeper in your house?! Hurry up and call me out! "

    Liu Lin hurriedly rushed over and smiled: "How many young masters are looking for our shopkeeper? Here we come! It's outside!"

    Those teenagers, the leader of them leaned on the counter, looked at the whole shop disdainfully, and raised his chin again. A few of them, like thugs, wandered around in the shop, picked up the handkerchief from the counter, took a look, put it under the nose, sniffed it, and smiled lewdly.

      The guests who noticed it went out a little scared.

      Inside the counter, Liu Xuer, who was staring at these people, didn't respond, and saw Uncle Chen appearing out of nowhere, with three strong men in their twenties, and came in and sniffed the one with the handkerchief. The young man was caught and pulled out.

    The one who took the lead has not had time to make trouble! When Uncle Chen came over, he was also caught out: "Why? Want to make trouble? Don't even look at this place!"

    The young man was quite arrogant. When he was pushed out, he called: "What place?! Is it still the place of the emperor? The young master is here..."

    "Who do you call your grandfather? Feeling your head is still in your arrogance! Boy, it's not your turn to play! Hurry up, take advantage of the good mood of your grandfather, if you are long-winded , the lords will send you to the yamen gate, and you will know who the lord is when you go in!"

    Those teenagers are the rogues in the neighborhood. They often bully people because of the number of people. Yes, the rogue boy was a little cowardly, his mouth was still fierce, and he stepped back: "You wait for me! One day I will come back to find you to settle accounts!"

    A young man next to Uncle Chen rushed forward: "Why don't you hurry up? Waiting for the New Year?!"

    The teenagers screamed and ran away! There are people watching the excitement around, laughing hahaha.

    Liu Xuer was back to her senses when she was behind the counter. Looking at Shicheng and her two brothers, she continued to greet the guests with a natural expression. There was also the guest who was too stubborn to choose something. He was so focused that he didn't even notice the riot just now.

    Liu Xuer couldn't help but sigh, these people... are too calm! Shi Cheng's reaction was really fast! Does this happen often?

    She was thinking wildly, and there were more people in the shop, and six or seven chattering little girls came in, about the same size as catkins, but all of them were dressed like little butterflies. You asked me one sentence at a time: "Is there any colorful silk thread?"

    "How much is the string of calf and shrimp that I saw last time?"

    The willow tree is honest, and was frightened by the group of little girls and took a few steps back. Shicheng and Liulin hurried up to say hello: "The colorful silk thread is gone."

      After a long time, I found a bunch of them, and the girl obviously wanted it very much, and waited eagerly by the side.

    “How much?” the little girl asked.

    "Ten texts."

    The money was paid here, and the little girls who came in together asked if they had dantouhua, and if they had goose oil and pancreas!

    A group of girls chatted for a long time, bought a few things and left. Shicheng and Liulin came over to pay, and Liushu hurriedly tidying up the counter over there. On the wooden shelf that could turn, the small pendants had become scattered, and a few hooks were empty, and they were dragged from Shicheng just now. Take the small pendant out of the box and replenish it.

    It was only at this time that Catkins discovered that there were other styles in the pendant, not only small wooden fish and small mallet, but also small gourd and small peanut shapes, but even simpler. She took one and looked at it carefully and smiled in surprise: "Dad's brain is quite active!"

    Shicheng and Liulin paid the money and hurriedly cleaned up the counter, cleaned up the messy things, and counted the big things to see if there was any lost.

    I was so busy that noon was over. When a few people finally finished their work and gathered at the counter to talk, Uncle Chen came in with a smile: "Shicheng, you guys What do you eat at noon? It's all here, go out to eat or are you here?"

    Shicheng asked Liu Xuer: "What do you want to eat? Why don't you still eat sangzi noodles and ask them to send them over?"

    Liu Xuer was a little uneasy, and whispered: "It's not good... we... eat, live, and say nothing, how can this be? Your father came over in the morning, take care of us Gotta talk about it..."

    Shi Cheng somehow didn't understand what she was saying, but Xiao Chen understood it and said with a smile: "Xiao Xuer, don't worry! Your two brothers are there all day. Helping here, it stands to reason that our boss should pay us wages! The one who lives is with our young boss, so what’s the point of eating?”

    Shi Cheng sneered when he heard this: "That's right! Willow and Willow still help all day long! I didn't say anything about calculating wages for them." Then he called Uncle Chen: "Then eat sangzi noodles, four bowls!"

    Uncle Chen agreed to buy it for them, and Liu Xuer said anxiously here: "My two brothers came, and it wasn't your father who asked for help seriously, we came by ourselves... Photo The ideal apprentice has to pay instead..."

    Shi Cheng looked at her and smiled in surprise: "Why are you so serious? You two brothers were invited by me. I told my father to ask for help from two people who are about the same age as me. Uncle Chen is sometimes inconvenient for female guests to come here. It happens that your two brothers are here, and they have a good relationship with me. They are neighbors... This is what my father and I said. At that time, he talked about wages. I told them to live with me and sometimes have meals together, so I don’t need to pay wages.”

    Liu Xuer blinked, no matter what she thought, she felt that her own family took a lot of advantage, there was a place to learn to do business for free, and free food and accommodation... Well, Shicheng has to say It seems to be helping him, that is...

    Saozi noodles came, each of them ate a bowl, and then they started busy again. When they were eating, Uncle Chen came in and tidy up the counter, so he could roughly know the point and asked Shicheng: " Are you particularly busy in the morning? Do you need to come and help in the afternoon?"

    Shi Cheng still shook his head: "No, we are busy enough to come over, I guess there will be more big girls and big ladies buying needles and threads in the afternoon."

    Uncle Chen agreed. If he told him to have something to do, he should rush over to find him. He would be able to come over soon, and then he left.

    The afternoon was even busier than the morning. For a while, the catkins were so busy that she couldn’t lift her head up. She even sold a few cords and ribbons at the counter over there, and she didn’t have time. Happily, I hurriedly memorized it, but now I don't care about writing it in the ledger, but I just write it down on paper first, and I will transcribe it later in the evening.

    When she finally finished memorizing and raised her head again, she exclaimed in surprise, "Ouch!" It was dark outside! She quickly asked, "What time is it?"

    An old lady was choosing a pendant, and she said, "It was already time when I went out." Then she picked up a pendant and swayed: "Little girl, you are the shopkeeper standing there. Can this make it cheaper for me? That short one is only seven or eight cents a piece, and this eighty cents is too expensive."

    Liu Xuer of course knows how to be flexible in business, and thinks about it: "Seventy-five wen, it can't be cheaper, sister, this necklace is made of the finest silk thread, and the one above it. The knots are the latest style. You can count them. There are four or five knots. There is only one knot at the top of the short one. Also, this Yingluo came from the south of the Yangtze River, and the style there is newer than the one in the capital! Seeing what is good in Jiangnan, the capital will learn it..."

      , smiled and rubbed Liu Xuer's head: "The little girl's mouth is so sweet! How can she be so good at doing business? She is so clever!"

    Liu Xuer sticks her tongue out here, Shicheng waits for the big lady to leave hahahaha. Liu Shu only smiled, only Liu Lin touched his head and said, "Yes! I'm so stupid!"

    You must have learned something.

    Several people came one after another, but no one came into the shop. Uncle Chen ordered a few bowls of wontons to eat. Wait a minute, Uncle Chen and Shicheng discuss closing the door, right? Otherwise it's too late.
