"Is that so? Well, then I'll go through the amount of silver first. After the counting of the silver is over, I'll treat you later."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "What's the name, Amei and Axiang? Just for this little money, the three of us carried it into the house."

Duan Wuji stepped forward, picked up two bags of silver on the ground, each bag weighed more than 100 catties, Duan Wuji carried a bag in each hand, and immediately walked towards the house.

Tie Niu saw it and said with a smile: "Boss, I will sneak in the remaining money by myself, so you don't have to do anything else."

Tie Niu also picked up the silver into two bags. Tie Niu wrapped up all the silver on the ground, and there was not a single piece of silver left. Tie Niu worked hard, and the two bags of silver were gently lifted up. Niu Tie slipped two bags of silver into the house without much effort.

The owner of the tea shop was taken aback.

"Both of you! I didn't expect that you are all supernatural! I've never seen someone as powerful as you, and I've opened my eyes today."

After hearing this, Tie Niu joked with the owner of the tea shop: "Boss, what is it called? If you give all the 7000 taels of silver to my job, I can move them all to the car at one time. If you leave a piece of silver Even if I lose, boss, are you convinced by this strength?"

The owner of the tea shop was taken aback.

"Ah? Do you really have that much strength? It's hundreds of catties! If you can lift these thousands of taels of silver onto the cart at a time, can your brother lift it up?"

Tie Niu smiled slightly.

"My brother is stronger than me. You say I can lift it into the car, but can he lift it?"

Duan Wuji put the silver beside the counter, and then replied with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, don't tease the boss, if you win him the 7000 taels of silver, I dare say, he will cry for three God. If you don't believe me, let's try."

The owner of the tea shop laughed and said: "Oh, Boss Duan, you really know how to joke! Let me tell you, if you win my 7000 taels of silver, it will not be as simple as crying for three days! Then I will at least You have to cry for three years!"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Boss, why are you so stingy? As the saying goes, will a thousand gold come back after it's gone! Why care about such a small gain?"

The owner of the tea shop laughed and said: "My two big bosses, you don't know how hard we have worked in selling tea. Tea is too expensive to sell, and tea is cheap to make money.

Rent a house, buy food, let children study, what do you think should not be spent!You don't know how difficult it is for us to save a small amount of money. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Boss, don't praise us. In fact, we are not much better than you. We are just running around to make a living. We are with each other."

Duan Wuji said to Tie Niu: "Brother Tie Niu, hurry up and call my brother in. My brother is thin-skinned. If you don't call him, he won't take the initiative to come in."

After hearing this, Tieniu was about to go out to call Duan Changsheng, when the owner of the tea shop waved his hand.

"Brother, don't go out. It's best for me to go out and invite him personally. Who asked me to be the host today? If you say that the master doesn't invite him, isn't it too rude?"

After speaking, the owner of the tea shop walked out.

Not long after, Duan Changsheng walked in under the warm invitation of this tea shop.

Duan Wuji looked at the owner of the tea shop and said, "Hey, Brother Niu, are our horses tied up?"

The owner of the tea shop said with a smile: "Three, let me introduce you."

The owner of the tea shop smiled and pointed to the older beauty and said, "This is the wife I married the year before last. Her name is Huang Amei. Their hometown is from Hangzhou. She is better at making tea than I am." Well, I learned a lot of how to manage tea from her."

The owner of the tea shop pointed to the younger girl and said: "This is my little Jiumei. Her name is Niu Junxiang, and her nickname is Axiang. We were born to the same mother. She is here this time." It also helps me with my business.

Ah Mei, Ah Xiang, these three are the big customers of our small shop that I often mention to you. This is Duan Niutie, and this is the number one boss who patronizes our small shop. His name is Duan Tianji.That one is his own brother, his name is Duan Changsheng.

Why don't you two come over and meet them? "

After hearing this, the two beauties came to bow down in front of the three of them.

"Little girl pays homage to the three nobles. May your business prosper and your wealth prosper."

The three of them quickly turned sideways to return the salute.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "It is said that Wuyue gave birth to beautiful women. When I saw her today, it is true! These two people are so beautiful."

The owner of the tea shop laughed and said, "Brother, you can really talk. Everyone loves what you say."

The owner of the tea shop said to the two women: "You guys put away the money, and after you put it away, go back to the back hall to cook. I'm going to have a banquet for my friends at noon today."

The two women promised to be busy collecting the money, and when they finished collecting the money, the two women turned and went back to the back hall.

The owner of the tea shop whispered: "Brothers, come on, let's sit down and drink tea first, it will take a while for this meal to be ready. Come, come, let's drink first."

After speaking, the owner of the tea shop filled four cups of tea and put them on the table.

After the four sat down, they began to drink tea.

The owner of the tea shop looked at the three of them while drinking tea and said: "Three brothers, my little sister is staying in the boudoir now. I plan to find her a husband's family in our Shanxi border. Some of you are willing to marry her." what?
Our family is also a small family, and the property in the family is not much, but we have many brothers and sisters, so life is more difficult.

Which of you would like to marry her?We don't care about being a concubine for our wife, as long as we live a good life. "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji put down his teacup.

"Boss Niu, Brother Niu, do you think our house is feasible? You have also been to our house. Although life is not very rich, food and clothing are not a problem."

Boss Niu put down his teacup after hearing this.

"Brother, would you marry her? That would be great."

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this: "Boss Niu, you misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to marry her, but I plan to tell her to my brother. My brother is already 20 years old now, but he hasn't married yet. You See if it works?"

The owner of the tea shop looked at Duan Changsheng and said, "Brother, to be honest, are you willing to marry her?"

Duan Changsheng blushed immediately when he heard this.

"Brother, I'm afraid this is inappropriate? Marriage is about the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. My parents don't even know about this. Besides, there is not even a matchmaker. How can this be possible?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open. Am I not the matchmaker? How can you say there is no matchmaker?

As for the fate of our parents, I'll go back and talk to our parents about it, and you don't have to worry about it.

As long as you fancy it. "

Duan Changsheng laughed and said: "Brother, as long as we talk about it, we will do it. To be honest, I really like this girl, and I am afraid that people will disagree."

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Boss Niu, I think it's settled like this. You can talk about Lingmei's side. Don't worry about our side. Do you think this will work out?

Hey, Brother Niu, you can go and tell Lingmei later and let her see my brother. If she is right, we'll settle this matter.

If she doesn't match, let's talk about it separately. How about this? "

The owner of the tea shop laughed out loud.

"Okay, okay! Let's do this. Drink your tea first, and I'll go in and talk to her."

After speaking, the owner of the tea shop stood up, turned around and entered the back hall.
