lying down

"Hey, that young man, what should you do?" The old shopkeeper finally drove the old yellow mule cart to the door of the restaurant, but when he saw a group of people crowding around and about to enter the restaurant, he yelled anxiously.

Everyone looked back in unison, only to see a dazzling array of New Year's goods piled up on the car, and their eyes were dazzled.You must know that Ouyang is not here, and everyone is not very interested in buying. The old lady just ordered Yun Niang and Chu Xiang to buy things necessary for the New Year. Who would have thought that Ouyang would bring a whole car full of New Year's goods for food and clothing. , playing, wearing, and playing, there is never a shortage of anything, and it is very convenient to buy.

"Xiao Lang is careful!" Yun Niang went to take the old lady's arm again, and praised without saying a word.

"I came back in a hurry and brought a carload of New Year's goods. Let me see, ho! There are also Xingyang Tukuchun and Jiannan Shaochun! Wulang Qilang, come and see, there are actually Yicheng Jiuhong and Xiamaling Lang Guanqing It’s so difficult to make these wines these days! Xiao Lang, it’s not bad, we brothers don’t need to blame you, this wine, it’s all ours!” All the men burst out laughing.

Mrs. Lai squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and said pleasantly: "I said it was too late to buy playthings for my two little grandchildren. Look, there are touches and horses on the cart. They are playing cards and playing cards." Chess? Good, good! Yun'er, Xiang'er, hurry up and pick out a few for Wei Niang."

At this time, Qin Feng walked up to the crowd and said respectfully: "Auntie, don't choose any more, this car was bought by Brother Ouyang."

"What?"

"Did I hear you right? You actually bought a whole car?"

"Yao'er...it's really different! It solved the urgent needs of all of us, great job!" The old lady praised Ouyang again and again, making everyone laugh happily.

Embarrassed, Ouyang hurried up to pay the money, and called everyone to unload the car and move the goods.

By the time everyone tidied up, it was already dark.The door panel of Guiyun Building was put down early, and a piece of red paper was pasted on the door, which read "The landlord is happy".

In the middle of the first floor of the restaurant, six tables were put together to form a neat flowing water table. The cook did his best today, and the table was filled with all kinds of special dishes.

However, the people sitting by the flowing water table made an exception. According to the old rules, a big family like the Li family, as well as Ouyang's brothers with a different surname, accountants, cooks and other restaurant staff were present, and the female family members of the Li family should be Avoid seats.Who would have thought that the old lady had spoken, firstly because everyone had worked hard all year, and secondly because Ouyang had returned safely, so the rules of those ancestors were avoided, and everyone sat at the table, regardless of male or female, and only sat in order of seniority.

Regardless of what other people think, just a group of old and young men in the restaurant feel warm in their hearts after hearing this. Consolation is hard work, and even close relatives and family members will not be called to sit at the same table.

As a result, at the age of 19, Ouyang actually ranked last among all the people. He sat calmly, and his calm and steady skills in nourishing Qi made the whole family laugh at him.

The old lady is in the first place in the middle, and Wang Shiwen, the accountant, is in the first place on the left. This little old man who is only one year old and will know his destiny is so moved that he doesn't even know how to hold the chopsticks.Wulang, Qilang, and Ge Ye left first, followed by Pan Jiang, Zhao Danyang, and Song Jingang.On the right of the old lady are seven people including Yuniang, Chu Xiang and a group of restaurant staff.

Looking at the crowded table, the old lady was filled with joy in her heart. She sipped her throat-moistening tea and said in a warm voice: "Although tonight is not a small year and New Year's Eve, it is better than that New Year's Eve in my eyes. How many people will be in the store tomorrow?" The master is going home to celebrate the New Year, and this moment is the reunion night for us, men, women and children. Come, and join me in toasting the masters of the restaurant!" After speaking, he raised his glass and drank the wine cup to the bottom. upside down.

The old lady's words hit the heart of the restaurant staff again. Starting from the accounting room, several chefs and staff were a little uneasy. They kept saying they didn't dare, but they were pressed down by Ouyang and others Receive this ceremony on the chair.

"I still have something to say!" Ouyang looked at the people seated with a smile, and left his seat and walked around slowly: "My new owner is incompetent. I just took over the restaurant and disappeared a few days ago. I didn't return until today. So Well, since the mother has expressed her position, it would be unfilial if the son did not express it."

He took out the last three ingots and taels of gold from his pocket and lightly placed them on the table in front of Wang Shiwen, the accountant.

"Boss, what are you?..."

"30 taels of gold!"

Everyone was surprised, not knowing what he was going to do with such a large sum of money.

Ouyang grinned, pointed to the gold and said, "Calendant Wang, you are the chief manager of the money inside and outside the restaurant. This gold is placed with you. After Xi San distributes the gold equally to all the staff, regardless of monthly salary or position, you Can it be done?"

When Wang Shiwen, the old accountant, stood up in shock, he said in a hurry: "Master, you can't do this! You really can't do it! According to your instructions before you left, no one will miss a day's salary, and the restaurant is short of money. I am losing money every day, and I have long been uneasy with my monthly salary, mostly because I am worried about the future of the restaurant, and I ask the owner to take back the 30 taels of gold!"

There are many restaurant staff who are jealous of Huang Jin, but they all know how to write "conscience" son, Qiqi got up and echoed the old accountant's refusal.

Ouyang turned his face hard on purpose, and a chilling smell gushed out. This temperament was tempered by nearly [-] battles in the past and present.

When Yunniang saw it, she thought he was going to use force.In her heart, Ouyang is no different from her own brother. He has never been so rude. What happened today?Just as she was about to speak to dissuade her, the old lady stretched out her hand under the table and pulled her.

The waiter in the restaurant saw the owner's face changed, and secretly complained in his heart.But then Ouyang said softly: "If you are still determined to be the owner of the restaurant, if what I say can still count, and don't say too much if you take the gold. In a certain heart, no matter how much gold you have, you can't get it back. All of you are here Persevering for many months! I am young, but I understand the meaning of the four words "to compare my heart with my heart". You didn't abandon me yesterday, how could I treat everyone poorly? Let alone a little gold and silver." He said here with a complexion With a slight turn, the voice has washed the hearts of the people like the spring breeze helping the willows.

He stepped back to his seat in two steps, propped his hands on the table and said, "Don't you really think that our restaurant is going to end? Let me put a word here, I, Ouyang, either don't do it, or do it to the best! Don't talk about this little one North Street is the huge Jinyang City and Bingzhou, or my magnificent Tang Dynasty. Why not be the best restaurant in the world? Don’t be blinded by the confusion in front of you, the good days have just begun !"

After finishing speaking, he sat down in the chair, pinched his two fingers and gulped down the wine in one gulp.

There was no sound in the hall, except for the heavy breathing of everyone.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on Ouyang, but each had a different expression.

The faces of all the restaurant staff were flushed.As if he was already in the No. [-] restaurant in the world, he felt inexplicably excited and yearning.

Yun Niang's eyes flashed with memories, as if he was still the one who led the crowd to fight the drought and exterminate locusts more than a year ago.A slight tremor from the soles of his feet woke him up from the memory.When she looked down, it was her mother-in-law's feet trembling uncontrollably, and the old lady was still on the table in a calm manner.

Goro and Qilang knew that the eighth brother was decisive and far-sighted.After hearing Ouyang's words, I just felt that this should be the case, and my heart became much brighter.

Ge Ye raised her eyebrows and raised her lips, smiling and nodding secretly.And Qin Feng's face softened a lot.These Ouyang brothers regard money as dung, but also have affection and righteousness, ambition and means.Both of them felt that this brother had to be entrusted to him, and the future was limitless!

"Okay! I, Wang Shiwen, have never met such a 'heart-to-heart' person from my master since the beginning of my apprenticeship. I will share this gold equally, and this restaurant will also be my entrustment for the rest of my life. Thank you, my master!" Pick up the glass and drink it...
