Chapter 1223 Feelings


Chapter 1223: Sentiment

The soaring clouds are like smoke, and the dense rain is like loose threads.

Due to the continuous rain, there are few pedestrians on the main roads in the county. Many shops on both sides of the street are closed. Even the shops that are open are deserted. There are few pedestrians and the business is naturally deserted, as if they have been forgotten. of. At this time, the vast majority of people have their wives and children sitting on the hot bed, sleeping at home.

Suddenly, a group of seven people appeared on the street, which made the shopkeepers and clerks in business excited.

No one was seen on the street for more than half an hour, and now seven people suddenly appeared. How could they not be excited.

"Sir, sir, please welcome me inside."

The waiter, who had been doing nothing for a long time, stood excitedly at the door of the restaurant and shouted enthusiastically.

Whether pedestrians come to the store or not is not important. What is important is that you don’t want to take the blame, so that the shopkeeper will not put the blame for poor business on his own head.

Oh my God, it has been raining for five days in a row. All the young and old men are sleeping at home and no one goes out. Naturally, the business in the store is not good. This is because God doesn't reward me with food, so what does it have to do with me? The shopkeeper also wants to take advantage of me. I just sat there for a while, and the shopkeeper gave me several looks.

So, when I saw pedestrians on the street from a distance, a group of seven people, the store clerk hurriedly came out to show off.

What excited the store clerk was that when he shouted, the seven pedestrians actually rushed to their store.

"Please come in, sir. It's raining outside. Come into the store to take shelter from the rain and have a rest." The store clerk greeted excitedly.

After walking in, the store clerk saw clearly that the leader was a young man, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. He smiled and nodded to himself. He shook off the rainwater from the raincoat and bamboo hat at the door before entering. shop.

The young man walked into the shop, took off his bamboo hat, smiled slightly, and said to the waiter, "Brother, are there any pancakes in the shop? If so, give us thirty pancakes, using waterproof oil paper. Give us a package Get up. Oh, by the way, if you have any pickles, give me half a pound of them, cut them into shreds, and wrap them all in oil paper.”

Da Ming’s pancakes are full of ingredients, and thirty pancakes are enough for seven. That’s enough for two meals per person. Half a pound of shredded pickled vegetables is enough to serve with the pancake.

"Yes, yes, yes. Sir, please take a seat. Pancakes and shredded pickles will be delivered shortly." The shop assistant responded repeatedly.

When the waiter went to the back kitchen to prepare pancakes and shredded pickled vegetables, he felt that this group of customers was strange. They asked for thirty pancakes and pickled vegetables, as if they were going on a long trip. of.

It’s raining outside now. Do you want to go on a long trip? !

The store clerk couldn't help but shook his head.

Because there is little business in the restaurant, the kitchen cooks the pancakes very quickly. The pancakes and pickled shredded vegetables were already ready while the group of seven waited for tea time. Following the boy's instructions, he wrapped it in oil paper.

"One piece of pancakes is three cents, half a catty of shredded pickles is ten cents, and the sincerity is one hundred cents. Because the customer asked for a lot of pancakes, our store gave the guest two extra pancakes." The store clerk handed over the pancakes and shredded pickles. Gave it to the boy.

"Thank you." The young man smiled and cupped his hands, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the shop assistant.

"Thank you, sir. Come back after your meal."

A business was done, and the shopkeeper smiled like a flower. Now he no longer has to worry about being looked down upon by the shopkeeper.

Thinking about this, the shop assistant glanced at the shopkeeper quietly, and was shocked to find that the shopkeeper was looking directly at him, his eyes were as excited as if he had finally seen something to eat after being hungry for three days. Yeah, my eyeballs are almost bulging out.

Isn't it just a penny? How could you be so blinded by money? This money-grubbing Zhou Papi!

The store clerk was instantly speechless at the shopkeeper.

The next second, he saw the shopkeeper, who had not moved for a long time, running out from the counter with an agility that did not match his fat body, and running straight towards him, with a look of excitement on his face. Incessantly.

Isn’t it? ! The shopkeeper is also serious, can I still be greedy for this money? !

The store clerk was even more speechless.

The next second, the store clerk was shocked to find that the shopkeeper ran past him, without even looking at himself or the broken silver in his hand. He ran all the way and stopped in front of the young guest officer.

"County Lord, are you the County Lord?" the shopkeeper asked excitedly. When the young man first entered the door, he glanced at it without paying much attention. When the store clerk was collecting cash, he habitually stared at it. , the provincial store clerk kept it privately. It didn’t matter at this glance. I was shocked to find out how the young guest officer looked like the county magistrate. The more he looked at it, the more he looked like him.

Looking at the six people behind him again, he recognized one of them at a glance. Isn’t that head catcher Liu Dadao? It was immediately confirmed that the young man was the county magistrate. The county magistrate came to my store to buy pancakes. How could the shopkeeper not be excited?

What? County honor? !

The store clerk opened his mouth in surprise and turned to look at the young guest who had already walked to the door.

After being recognized, Zhu Ping'an did not deny it, but smiled and bowed his hand to the restaurant manager.

“You greedy idiot, you even accepted money from the county magistrate.”

The shopkeeper turned around and scolded the shopkeeper, snatched the broken silver with one hand and wanted to return it to Zhu Safety.

The shopkeeper, who is so greedy for money that he wants to take away the grains of rice carried by passing ants, doesn’t accept cash? ! Is this still the same Zhou Papi? !

The store clerk opened his mouth in surprise, as if he didn't recognize the shopkeeper.

"Haha, is it okay for the shopkeeper to bribe in public?" Zhu Pingan refused and joked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you saved all the people of Jingnan from the Japanese pirates, and you also prayed for us people and reduced the taxes. This is a little bit of my gratitude."

The shopkeeper explained .

"I'm just performing my duties." Zhu Pingan shook his head and insisted.

The shopkeeper tried several times, but finally failed. He had no choice but to collect the money.

"My lord, it's still raining outside. Are you going on a long trip?" the shopkeeper asked curiously.

"It has been raining continuously in the past few days, and the rainfall is quite heavy. Our son is worried about the hidden danger of water logging, so he took us to investigate the rivers and reservoirs in the towns below to check for hidden dangers." Liu Dadao returned for Zhu Ping'an. road.

When Zhu Ping'an and his entourage disappeared in the wind and rain, the shopkeeper stood at the door and sighed to the store clerk, "Did you see, this is our magistrate. If you come to the store, you will not be blown by the wind or wet by the rain. How nice, you are still whining and whining. Look at us. We, the magistrate of the county, are such a rich man, so he brought pancakes and pickles and went out in the rain to inspect rivers and reservoirs to check for hidden dangers. What a misfortune.”

The store clerk was scolded so much. Many times, this was the first time he was scolded without any complaints in his heart.

Yes, it was raining heavily outside, and the county magistrate took pancakes and pickles with him and went to the wilderness to survey the water conditions in the rain. Who am I to complain? (End of chapter)
