Chapter 7 The Shopkeeper Tests Mo Yang's Entry
It can be said that Mo Yang knows nothing about the car dealership business, and the original body does not know much about the operation of the car dealership.

Therefore, along the way, Mo Yang deliberately asked the buddy some questions, and induced the buddy to tell a lot of inside information about Renhe car dealership. In fact, this small car dealership also has a lot of knowledge.

The car dealership in this time and space is different from Mo Yang's original time and space. In addition to providing car rental services, it also undertakes the functions of providing accommodation and catering.

And the model it initially established was even used only by the government, and only the envoys who carried out the imperial order and conveyed the imperial order could use it, and the restrictions were gradually relaxed later.

Entering the courtyard in the third entrance, Mo Yang finally saw the big shopkeeper that the waiter said. This man had a surprisingly wide forehead, and his bald forehead didn't have a single crease, but there were two thin mustaches in the middle of the man. The robe on his body was lifted up and tied into the belt embroidered with gold thread, the black satin bloomers were put on the sheepskin boots, and he was playing with two jade balls in his hand, squinting his small eyes, standing there Just with a sense of not being an ordinary person.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to apply for a coachman..." The clerk was a little stuck for a moment, and looked at Mo Yang with a smile. He patronized the car dealership and bragged about the shopkeeper along the way, but he didn't exchange names with Mo Yang.

"Hi, shopkeeper, my name is Mo Yang." Mo Yang gave the shopkeeper a "cross-hand salute".

This cross-hand salute looks a bit like arching hands from a distance, but it is not completely arching hands. It has its own particularities - the left hand should hold the thumb of the right hand tightly, the little finger of the left hand should point to the right wrist, the four fingers of the right hand should be straight, and the thumb of the left hand should be facing toward the right wrist. It's like covering your chest with your right hand, but you can't get too close to your chest, you need a little distance.

Mo Yang has already learned that the etiquette of "crossing hands salute" is a very respectful manner for juniors to elders and subordinates to superiors.The reason why I chose to use this kind of etiquette is mainly to sneak into the car dealership more smoothly in this way of doing as the Romans do.

Mo Yang thoughtfully reported his name, which relieved the guy.

"My name is Sun Yuhu, and I'm the big shopkeeper here." The big shopkeeper stopped turning the jade ball in his hand, put the jade ball aside casually, and cupped his hands at Mo Yang, "May I ask you what you did for a living before? It doesn't look like it's been blown and rained all year round."

The big shopkeeper secretly guessed Mo Yang's identity. Looking at the other person's posture and demeanor, it seemed that even if the other person knew how to drive, it was probably because the family used to have a frame when they were rich and used it occasionally.

It's just that the job of a coachman is different from my family who only go out once in a while. He stays here all day, no matter it's windy, rainy, cold or hot, he has to leave at any time as long as he has work. Sometimes it is common to run around for several days. I can't bear the pain.

"I came to Qidi from another place, but I didn't want to encounter a famine. I had no choice but to stay here after I spent all my money." Mo Yang lowered his voice, making his voice sound more sincere, "I am young and strong and I am not afraid. Enduring hardships, I just want to find a part-time job to earn some travel expenses so that I can go home as soon as possible, and I hope the shopkeeper will be successful."

The big shopkeeper squinted his eyes and paused for a while, as if he was thinking about it, and the waiters at the side didn't dare to disturb him. The shouts from outside came into the room, but it seemed that it was quieter here.

Mo Yang lowered his hands and clasped them, silently waiting for the other party to make a decision, without even shaking his body.

"Success, then you can stay and see." The big shopkeeper said with a final word, "As for wages, the car dealers don't bully foreigners and deduct money from you, right? If you have studied, the rice grains will also be converted into copper coins for you. You. Just talk to them when you go to the cashier."

Er Fu smiled and cupped his hands at Mo Yang to express his congratulations.

"Thank you for taking care of the shopkeeper." Mo Yang also relaxed his expression, and bowed again to thank him.

The big shopkeeper's eyes turned on Mo Yang, thinking that the other party might have studied for a few years, and maybe he could recognize calligraphy, so he became a little interested.

He picked out a piece of calligraphy from the porcelain-white pot-bellied book jar on the side and unfolded it, pointing at it with a smile: "Have you read a book, can you recognize what is written in this calligraphy?"

Mo Yang practiced swords since he was a child, so he didn't know much about calligraphy, but although he was originally a martial artist, in this era, he has not yet formed the suppression of literati over warriors, and he pays more attention to both civil and military skills.

So he looked at the calligraphy carefully to identify it.

But the more he looked closely, the weirder Mo Yang's expression became, as if he had swallowed a boiled egg raw, choked in his throat and couldn't spit it out, and couldn't swallow it down.

"This is a bit difficult, no wonder you can't recognize it!" The big shopkeeper stroked his mustache proudly, "This is written by our master in big seal characters-the future is bright, and we will continue to open up the future. I have high hopes."

Mo Yang lowered his head firmly, pinching his palms with his fingernails to keep himself from laughing out loud. He felt that these words clearly meant "catch the toad and piss out".

After that, the shopkeeper lowered the difficulty of the retest, and asked three simple literacy questions to test Mo Yang's knowledge.

This is not difficult for Mo Yang, he can answer them one by one without any hesitation.

Seeing this situation, the shopkeeper had a better understanding of Mo Yang. It seemed that the person in front of him probably knew Braille, but his knowledge was limited and he didn't know much about seal script.

However, because of this, he lost interest in deepening his understanding of Mo Yang. Although he could read some words, he was only a part-time worker from outside after all, otherwise he could have given him a better job.

Now that he can only be a groom for a short time, there is no need for further conversation.

"Okay, come here, go down and do things in peace. Since Mr. Lang can read some words, there is no need to go to the herringbone store. You are not used to it. Go to the local store to have dinner. This is not a disservice to cultural people. Er Fu Take him to get familiar with him and teach him the rules." The shopkeeper casually picked up the two jade balls again, sat back on the chair, half closed his eyes and ignored Mo Yang and the others, hummed a little song softly, "Looking through the autumn water, but not returning home, my tears are like numbness. I miss him and hate him at the same time, holding red embroidered shoes in my hand to tell ghosts..."

Mo Yang said nothing more, he bowed to the shopkeeper and walked out with Er Fu, and he also closed the door gently so that no one would be disturbed.

The place where Mo Yang was going to work was not too distinctive, there were many carriages parked in the flat and spacious yard.

The coachman was reluctant to put the reins on the horses he was in charge of when he was free, so three or five lazily got together.
