The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 700 How is it different?

Gu Chengyu felt that this Dayou was quite clever, and he probably wouldn't go back to the restaurant in Jingyuan Mansion for several years.Therefore, he needs someone to tell him the situation here, and this Dayou is a good candidate.

It's a pity that such a guy is generally illiterate, even if he is flying a pigeon to pass on a letter, or writing a letter to be taken to the capital, it will not work.Even if he could find someone else to write for him, Gu Chengyu felt that it was too troublesome, so he might as well find someone else.

Who wants to grin his mouth wide, and said with a smug smile: "My master doesn't know, I learned a few characters a year ago, and I know a little bit. It's just that my family is poor, and my father is not in good health, so I didn't read it." .Later, I found an opportunity to learn some words by myself. Even if I don’t know much, I can read ordinary letters from home.”

He said that he was afraid that Gu Chengyu would not believe him, and he also swore that he read all the family letters in his neighborhood.

Gu Chengyu was really surprised, he didn't expect Dayou to be really literate!

He nodded in satisfaction, "I have a job for you to do. Since you can read and write, it will be easy to handle. The job is much more than your monthly salary as a clerk. I am very optimistic about you!"

Dayou was overjoyed when he heard that, but he didn't expect that today he really got shit luck.

"I don't know what kind of work the boss is talking about? The little one will definitely do it for you!"

Gu Chengyu waved his hand, "My entourage will tell you later, and serve us the food first. Remember, no one can tell what happened today."

Afterwards, Gu Chengyu ordered a dish of squirrel fish, mapo tofu, saliva chicken, and two vegetarian dishes.

After Dayou left, Zhu Pang asked Gu Chengyu curiously.

"That's what you told him? What if he can't control his mouth and talk to the shopkeeper?"

Gu Chengyu smiled, "Didn't you notice that we are missing one person?"

After Gu Chengyu's reminder, Zhu Pang quickly searched around the house and found that Gu Chengyu's entourage, Ming Yan, was missing.

"Where's Ming Yan, your entourage?" He asked strangely.

"What do you think?" Of course, Gu Chengyu couldn't believe Dayou's one-sided words. He had already sent Mingyan to follow shopkeeper Xing secretly.

If shopkeeper Xing had done something wrong to enrich his own pockets, seeing that he was here, and he was obviously suspicious of him just now, he would definitely transfer his belongings and account books.

Anyway, let Ming Yan follow shopkeeper Xing, Gu Chengyu believes that there will be gains.

If the shopkeeper Xing didn't make money from it, he would still greet the guests at the counter downstairs.

However, Gu Chengyu has already seen that shopkeeper Xing must be greedy.It has only been three years since he bought Shopkeeper Xing, yet he has enough money to raise a concubine?
There is also the jade wrench on Shopkeeper Xing's thumb, which is not a cheap item. With the monthly money of Shopkeeper Xing, he can't afford such a wrench.

Zhu Pang knew Gu Chengyu well, so Gu Chengyu must have watched him.

It seems that the shopkeeper can't escape this time, he doesn't understand business matters, and he doesn't even know how Gu Chengyu manages, so of course he won't point fingers.

No matter how Gu Chengyu knew there was something wrong with the shopkeeper, he felt that Gu Chengyu would definitely be able to handle it well.

After the two had dinner, when Gu Chengyu went downstairs again, he saw that the cashier was already standing behind the counter, paying the bill and collecting the money.

Accountant Ding couldn't help feeling excited when he saw Gu Chengyu coming down the stairs.

Although the last time I met Gu Chengyu was more than a year ago, he still has a very good impression of Gu Chengyu's appearance. Isn't this their boss?
The other accountants hired by the shop only thought that Gu Chengyu was the young owner, and Gu Chengyu could only trust servants who had a contract of sale.

Those guys don't even know Gu Chengyu's identity, so as not to cause trouble if it is rumored.

If those censors knew that Gu Chengyu was still running a restaurant outside, he would definitely be impeached. Those officials would even take care of the jealousy of wives and concubines in the backyard.

Accountant Ding's eyes lit up, he should have guessed a long time ago, why did shopkeeper Xing call him out of the big kitchen today?
Since he rejected Xing Yang more than half a month ago, Xing Yang asked him to help in the big kitchen on the pretext of lack of people.

Who would have thought that he would be unable to come out after entering the big kitchen, smelling the oily fumes every day, his hand holding the pen was scratched several times by the firewood in the kitchen, and his decent muslin clothes were stained. Grease.

He has been trying to find a way to report this matter to Guanshi Yu and his boss, but he has never found a chance.Unexpectedly, the boss really came today, and he couldn't help crying.

Gu Chengyu couldn't help being amused seeing Accountant Ding looking at him excitedly.

It seems that Ding's accountant has indeed had a hard time recently, probably because he was afraid that the oil from the kitchen would stain his clothes.

Wearing bunts all over his body, standing behind the counter at the moment seemed a bit awkward.

Gu Chengyu walked to the counter, put a 50 tael bank note on the table and waited for the checkout.

This is a rule set by him. No matter who it is, even if he comes to eat, he must be recorded in the account, which is convenient for management.

"Boss." Shopkeeper Ding called out softly, his expression a little anxious.

"Come to my house after closing at night, I have something to tell you."

Gu Chengyu glanced around, and found that shopkeeper Xing was not in the restaurant, and Ming Yan was not even there.

Thinking that Ming Yan might have discovered something, he might have done it.

"You make the account of the restaurant well. Shopkeeper Xing has something to do, so he might not be able to come here today. You can't mess up here. If you have something to do, let Dayou help you."

Gu Chengyu also thought that if he knew how to read, it would not be a problem to greet and send, maybe he could help.

Accountant Ding couldn't help becoming more excited when he heard this.Does the owner already know what shopkeeper Xing has done?It seems that he is about to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

"Jinyu! Is there anything fun here at night?"

Seeing that Gu Chengyu had finished his work and hadn't left Juxianglou, Zhu Pang couldn't wait to ask.

Gu Chengyu thought about it, and there was nothing special about the night in Fucheng, and the curfew was earlier than in Beijing.

Of course, those fireworks places and casinos that are open at night are naturally full of guests.

"There is no year or festival, and there are no lantern festivals. You must not be interested in those poetry festivals, and the nights in Fucheng are not interesting."

Zhu Pang looked disappointed, "Isn't that less fun than the capital?"

Gu Chengyu nodded, the rich families in Fucheng also have dudes, most of them hang out in brothels and Chuguan, no different from those sons and daughters in Beijing.

Zhu Pang was so bored, he never thought he would be so bored when he went out.But then, he suddenly had an idea.

"Jinyu! I don't know how the brothels in Fucheng are different from those in Beijing? Are there any oirans here? How does it compare to Xiyan?"

Gu Chengyu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, this guy can think of brothels and girls wherever he goes.

"I don't know, I haven't been there. I think you should put your mind to it. You will get married in a few months, so don't worry about those girls in the brothel."
