Piao Miao journey

Chapter 510: Mortal Life (1)
Li Qiang said solemnly: "I need a job. It doesn't matter how much the salary is, as long as I have something to eat."

The middle-aged woman stammered: "You...you, we don't need hired workers, you can try somewhere else."

Li Qiang will not give up until he achieves his goal. He pretended to be downcast and said: "Oh, I wandered to Haishi, looking for a job, spent all my savings, and will be on the street tomorrow, auntie, I'm just counting on this job." A little bit of confusion was added to the words.

The middle-aged woman was about to shed tears, and she said pitifully: "Poor child, then work in our store. The salary may not be much, and you can eat enough."

Li Qiang was secretly ashamed that he had to use such a method to stay.He hastily thanked: "Thank you, Auntie." After finishing speaking, he felt a little embarrassed.

The middle-aged woman shouted into the room: "Xiaorong's father, come out!"

A middle-aged man came out, wearing a white apron, with white flour on his hands, deep wrinkles on his face, and an honest look.He asked, "Li Hong, what's the matter?"

Li Hong smiled and said, "I hired a helper for you, by the way, young man, can you make pastries?"

The middle-aged man raised his head in surprise, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and he said: "Li Hong, we are such a small pastry shop, we can't afford to hire workers...you..."

Li Qiang hurriedly said: "Uncle, you can pay as much as you want, as long as you have a place to stay and eat." He used the method of sound confusion again.

How can the two mortals resist Li Qiang's confusion, the middle-aged man wiped his hands with the hem of his apron, and said in a muffled voice, "Well...well, I will give you 500 yuan a month for food and lodging in the store. "

Li Qiang just wanted to stay, and he didn't give money or food.He said: "Thank you uncle, thank you aunt, my name is Li Qiang, you can call me Xiao Li."

Li Hong said: "Xiao Li, my surname is Cai, you can call me Aunt Cai, there are only three of us in this small shop, and the child's father's surname is Qi, you will call him Uncle Qi from now on, he is an honest man, he will only do nothing Well, we also have a daughter who is also helping in the store. Usually, the child’s father will play the newly launched mobile game Piao Miao Journey. You have time to discuss with him..."

Before she could finish speaking, the girl came out of the room and shouted: "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about... Huh... Who is he?" Seeing Li Qiang, she couldn't help being stunned.

Li Qiang's temperament has changed a lot since he reached the Qixingtian realm. Under the deliberate cover-up, he is not much different from ordinary people, but his appearance is extremely handsome.

He didn't change his appearance this time, because the Chongxuan sect has rules, the leader must get the consent of the inheritance brother, and he must not force the brother. Back then, Fu Shan had waited for Li Qiang for several years.

Now it's the same for Li Qiang, he can't lie to this little girl, he can't even use tricks to confuse her.

The little girl was shocked by Li Qiang's appearance, and she lost her mind for a moment, making her face flushed.It's no wonder, after all, Li Qiang is a super expert in cultivating gods, and his aura cannot be resisted by ordinary people. Fortunately, Li Qiang has tried his best to restrain himself.

Cai Lihong said: "Xiao Li, this is my eldest daughter. Her name is Qi Xiaorong. She just graduated from university and hasn't found a job yet, so she's helping out at home."

Li Qiang said: "Hello, sister Xiaorong. My name is Li Qiang. I will work in your store from now on."

Qi Xiaorong seemed to be very different. After a moment of trance, she waved her hands and said, "Hey, who is your sister? Mom, why do you accept a stranger as a helper? Does he have an ID card... Hey, show me your ID."

She held out her hand unceremoniously, with a look of distrust on her face.

Li Qiang's state of mind is extremely peaceful now, he smiled and took out the ID card Zhao Hao gave and handed it over, saying: "Sister Xiaorong is very cautious, this is my ID card."

Qi Xiaorong took the ID card, glanced at it, and exclaimed in a fuss: "Oh my god, 28 years old? I thought you were! Well, forget it, I'll return it to you, anyway, my mother hired you, I don't care .” She threw her ID card to Li Qiang, turned around and went back to the back room.

Cai Lihong said a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Rong has a stubborn temper, don't take offense...By the way, do you have other things to deal with? Or go to work now?"

Li Qiang said: "Aunt Cai, I'm fine, let's go to work now."

Uncle Qi said: "Xiao Li, you can help sell pastries here, you don't need to help out in the kitchen." He thought that Li Qiang would definitely not know how to make pastries, so he turned and went back to the back room.

Cai Lihong said: "Xiao Li, this is the price list of pastries. You should familiarize yourself with it first, and take care of the storefront. I'm going to buy vegetables and I'll be back in a while." She took off her apron and hurried out.

Li Qiang didn't expect the family to be so open-minded, and the newly hired people felt relieved to hand over the store to him.

He picked up the price list, quickly memorized it with his mind, and then quickly checked it with the pastries on the shelf. It only took him a few minutes to complete this trivial matter.

It didn't take long for Li Qiang to sell a lot of pastries. Without exception, he used audio to lure people to buy pastries. Even those who came in to have a look were encouraged by him to buy a lot.

He was originally a businessman, and he thought it normal to use tricks to get people to shop. Anyway, it was food, and there was no question of whether it was suitable or not, so he simply went outside to attract customers.

Following Li Qiang's confusing yelling, everyone who heard it poured into the shop.

When Cai Lihong returned to the store, she was surprised to find that all the pastries in the store were gone, and the shelves were empty.

Standing behind the counter, Li Qiang said with a smile on his face: "Aunt Cai, the pastry department is sold today. This is the money received, and every transaction is recorded."

Cai Lihong looked at Li Qiang in disbelief, this was too exaggerated, she only went out for an hour, and Li Qiang sold all the pastries in the shop.

She went to the cash register, checked the accounting computer, and found that Li Qiang not only sold the pastries produced that day, but also sold the pastries that were not sold out a few days ago and were about to expire.

She asked in surprise and joy: "Xiao Li, you...how did you sell it?"

Li Qiang only thought about how to flatter him, and only then did he realize that it was abnormal to do so. It couldn't be said that he was using sound to confuse others to buy it.He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Well, probably today... this... everyone wants to eat pastries, I didn't know they would be so popular, ha ha."

Cai Lihong blushed with excitement, she shouted loudly: "Xiaorong's father, come out, come out!"

Uncle Qi ran out from inside in a hurry and asked, "What's the rush?"

Cai Lihong pointed to the empty shelf and said, "Xiao Li sold all the pastries, this kid is really capable."

Li Qiang was dizzy when he heard this. If calculated according to the age of the earth, he would be many times older than Cai Lihong, and now he has become a child in her mouth. Thinking: "I don't want to lose a piece of meat when I call it a child. She can call it that way as she likes."

Uncle Qi had a look of joy on his face, and said, "I see, all the pastries that just came out of the oven in the kitchen were sold, and someone ordered more than a dozen cakes, and I have to work overtime tonight." All the wrinkles are stretched out.

Li Qiang was finally relieved, he was afraid that the old couple would doubt him, and it would be difficult to handle.

Cai Lihong said happily: "Let's close today. I'll make some small dishes to reward everyone. Xiao Li has a rest. I'll clean up the room first and arrange for Xiao Li to stay."

She walked excitedly to the back room, Uncle Qi smiled honestly, and turned around to go in too.

Li Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling warm in his heart, as if he had returned to his own home.

"Day and Night Cake Shop" is a small shop located in an alley in a residential area. It is a two-story low building with a very remote location.

The buildings in this residential area seem to be very old. Most of them are six or seven-story buildings, which are better than slums. Obviously, it is not a place for rich people to live.

Walking out of this residential area, two intersections later, there is a bustling commercial street. Therefore, many real estate developers are interested in this land, but it requires a large amount of demolition costs, which is not affordable for ordinary real estate developers.

Li Qiang was placed in a small room next to the kitchen, with only one single bed.

It used to be a storage room, and it was very small, with the single bed taking up most of the space.Li Qiang doesn't care where he lives at all, as long as he has a place to sit.

Cai Lihong said apologetically: "There are only two rooms upstairs, and there is really no place to arrange them, so I can only wrong you to sleep here."

Li Qiang said with a smile: "Aunt Cai, it's okay, I live downstairs and just guard the storefront."

The "Day and Night Cake Shop" is not open 24 hours a day, and usually closes at nine o'clock in the evening. Today, because all the pastries are sold out, it closes in the afternoon.

Cai Lihong was busy preparing meals, but Li Qiang couldn't help, so she asked, "Aunt Cai, is there a phone here?"

Cai Lihong pointed upstairs and said, "Oh, there is a phone upstairs."

Li Qiang went up the narrow stairs. There were only two rooms on the second floor, and the doors were tightly closed.Li Qiang scanned with his spiritual sense and immediately knew which room Qi Xiaorong was in.

He knocked on the door lightly, and Qi Xiaorong said loudly in the room: "Who is it? Come in."

Li Qiang pushed open the door, and saw Qi Xiaorong lying on the bed stretched out, seeing Li Qiang coming in, she screamed and jumped up.

Without waiting for her to get mad, Li Qiang said immediately, "I'm sorry, I'll borrow the phone."

Qi Xiaorong was so angry that she didn't know what to say, she pointed at Li Qiang, and only said one word: "You...you..."

Li Qiang nodded and smiled, "Me? I'm fine, thank you." He walked directly to the desk and picked up the phone.

Qi Xiaorong opened her mouth wide, unable to utter a single word.This is the first time she has seen such a self-talking person. She really wants to kick this guy out of the door, but this guy is too big and powerful. If he makes a move, he will definitely be kicked out of the room. It will be him, but it is quite possible for him.

She panted heavily, "wheezing and wheezing", thinking secretly in her heart.

The phone on Qi Xiaorong's desk is still an old-fashioned model, with no visible screen, only buttons.Li Qiang answered the phone and said: "Zhao Hao, it's me, Si, I'm in Haishi now, don't come over, I'll look for you after a while... Is there any clue to what I explained?"
