Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 155

While Du Jinning, Guan Lehe and the others were tasting tea, Zhong Yanqing slapped the table at home and cursed at others: "I can't even handle a small matter well, how can I trust you to leave this home to you in the future?"

The young master of the Zhong family, Zhong Shengming, was very depressed when his father scolded him.Although he has already married in his twenties and has children, his father Zhong Yanqing is still in charge of this family.The shopkeeper's resignation is such an important matter, does he dare to make his own opinion and deal with it without his father's consent?If he dared to do this, his father would have to hit him with a big stick when he found out later!

But he only dared to slander these words in his stomach, but he didn't dare to say them outright.

"If he wants to leave, just let him go. I don't believe that my Zhong family can't function without him." Zhong Yanqing said impatiently.

"But... But, he's gone. Who will take care of our rice shop in the west of the city? Also, the wealthy households in the west of the city used to be directly contacted by shopkeeper Liu, and the rice was delivered to the house on a regular basis. As soon as he left, these connections were cut off. The villain thought, would someone poach shopkeeper Liu just for these big customers in the west of the city? Otherwise, shopkeeper Liu would have no money to be his own boss, and secondly, he would be able to enjoy life without making a fortune. , he is not very old, what will he do after resigning his position as shopkeeper?"

"It's good that you can think of these things." Zhong Yanqing said, "In this way, don't agree to shopkeeper Liu's resignation, and delay him for a while. You can also find a capable and reliable second shopkeeper in the shop, and go with you. Those rich households in the west of the city went to the homes and told them that our shopkeeper is about to change, and the new shopkeeper will deliver rice to them in the future. Regardless of whether those people are our customers or not, you will take care of the place in these days Run once, if it doesn’t work, call your brother to go with you.”

As he spoke, he said earnestly: "Brother Ming, you're so old, you're already a father. As for me, I'm getting older and my energy is getting worse and worse. From now on, this family will depend entirely on you." That's it. You have to be a family member and deal with things properly. I don't look at the process, only the result. As long as you can handle this matter well, I will give you more business."

With that said, he patted his son on the shoulder trustingly, and went straight out the door.

When he was about to go out, his eldest son called him back to deal with business.After such a delay, when he arrived at Boyue Teahouse, the teahouse was already overcrowded and there were no empty seats.

He was very depressed, so he called Si'er and said, "Go in and see if Master Li and the others are there, and if they have held a seat for us."

Si'er agreed, and wanted to drill in.

But at the entrance of the teahouse, at some point, two tall and thick men came to stop Si'er, but his attitude was very polite: "I'm sorry, the inside is full, so you can't go in anymore, the guest officer, please wait." next game."

Seeing this, Zhong Yanqing hurriedly squeezed over, stepped forward and said: "I came with my friends for the two games yesterday, and sat in the VIP seat. I came late today, and my friend may have reserved a seat for me. "

The big man sized Zhong Yanqing up and asked, "Are you Master Zhong Yanqing?"

Zhong Yanqing was overjoyed, nodded quickly and said: "Exactly."

"Originally, a guest offered to reserve a seat for you, but there were too many people here, and you were not sure whether to come or not. After discussing with your friends, other distinguished guests took the seat reserved for you. Your old My friend also asked someone to come and tell us that if you come, let us help explain it. So I'm sorry, Master Zhong, please wait for the next game."

Zhong Yanqing was suddenly depressed.

But there's no other way, there's no place left, and it's useless for him to make trouble anymore.Besides, he didn't dare to make trouble.This teahouse has an academy background, and even the county lords dare not provoke him, so he is a small rich family, so he should just stay here honestly.

He glanced at many people standing at the entrance of the teahouse, and smiled at the man, "I don't know your name, brother?"

"Miangui's surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Dahu."

"Brother Big Tiger, can you reserve the VIP seat for the next show? I'll be there on time."

Before Zhao Dahu could speak, someone said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you staying here? There must be someone who comes first, first come first, right? We have lined up here early in the morning, and we will reserve it for him as soon as he comes. What's the matter with us standing here? "

Zhong Yanqing is a businessman, he pays attention to making money with harmony.Although the man was a seven-foot man with an unshaven beard, wearing a coarse soap-colored padded jacket, and did not look like a rich man, he still smiled very politely and explained: "I am sitting in the VIP seat, and my friend and yours Seats are irrelevant.”

The man rolled his eyes: "Who doesn't sit in the VIP seat? Twenty Wen, you think I can't afford it."

He is a butcher and has five sons.Now a son manages a butcher stall, and the family earns a lot of money.He has no other hobbies, but he likes to hear stories about knights.Yesterday, I heard from a neighbor in the neighborhood that the storyteller in this teahouse told a wonderful story. He came to listen to it in the afternoon. I want to come to listen to the book.But he didn't want to wait for him to watch his sons slaughter the pigs and put the meat on the stalls before rushing over. The teahouse was already full.

Originally, with his status, he prefers to sit in an ordinary seat.But isn't he envious of the comfort of the VIP seat?It's only twenty Wen, and it's not like he can't afford it, isn't it just a matter of half a catty of pork?It's just that there will be no discounts in teahouses in the future, and he won't even blink if he spends [-] Wen.Zhang Butcher has nothing but money.

Zhong Yanqing choked on butcher Zhang, and his expression turned a little ugly.

He said indifferently: "Even if you took one VIP seat, brother, wouldn't there be seven more? You can't finish it all by yourself, brother?"

But I didn't want Butcher Zhang to swipe in front of him: "Well, several of these people are helping their masters to occupy seats in line, and they all sit in the VIP seats."

There were six people in front of Butcher Zhang. After hearing this, everyone turned their heads and nodded to Zhong Yanqing.

Butcher Zhang pointed behind him again: "Many of these people want to sit in the VIP seat. There are really no more eight seats left."

Zhong Yanqing looked back. When he came, it was not long before the opening of the first round, so there were only about ten people in line.But in such a short time, there were seven or eight more people in the team.

"This, this... is there still an hour before the second round?" Zhong Yanqing suddenly felt that his brain was not working properly.

This is a big winter!In the middle of winter, the cold wind blows here for an hour just to take up a seat and listen to a storybook. Are these people crazy?
Zhao Dahu kindly explained to him: "These people who came to line up are mostly servants. Master Zhong, if you don't mind sitting in an ordinary seat, you can also ask your servants to stay in line. Of course, that's all I said. , don’t mind if you don’t speak well.”
