Bishop's Retirement

Chapter 40 Knock on the Door

The next morning, the sun was shining

In front of Zuixian Tower.

Shen Xiang took off his tattered clothes and put on a plain long gown.

The red fire monkey in his arms was still asleep, its appearance was very different from yesterday.

From a distance, it really looks like a fairy.

Beside him, Si Jianming was dressed up and wearing a bamboo hat, looking like a knight-errant.

"Brother Jianming, don't you want to stay longer?"

Looking at Si Jianming in front of him, Aji asked.

Although the contact time is not long, but somehow we have fought against the enemy together.

Si Jianming wanted to leave this time, but Aji felt a little bit reluctant.

"Well, this time I'm going down the mountain, Master wants me to protect the gods."

Hearing Aji's words, Si Jianming smiled slightly, and said, "Now that the god has appeared, it's time for me to escort him to a safe place."

"Furthermore, I also promised Shopkeeper Wang that I will leave today and never stay any longer!"

As he said that, Si Jianming's eyes turned and fell on Wang Ye.

At this time, Wang Ye leaned against the door frame of Zuixian Tower and yawned with an impatient look on his face.

After hearing Si Jianming's words, he waved his hands impatiently: "Yes yes yes, hurry up!"

"This kid hasn't had any good things since he moved in, so leave as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble for me every day!"

"By the way, you guys are going to take the waterway soon, right? Be careful when the time comes, the sea is windy and the waves are rough, be careful of shipwreck..."

While speaking, Wang Ye's face was full of impatience, wishing that Si Jianming would leave quickly.

"You old money junkie!"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Aji said, "I really doubt what else you have in your eyes besides money?"

"Do you have the word love in your eyes?"

"What is affection? How much is a catty?"

Regarding Aji's words, Wang Ye rolled his eyes and asked lazily: "Do you want me to sell you five taels a catty?"

"I have no money!"

Aji rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"Is this over?"

Seeing Aji's appearance, Wang Ye said, "You have affection, but you can't get any money in exchange. Do you have to work under my heartless hands?"

"I…"

For a while, Aji was speechless.

What Wang Ye said was not pleasant, but he couldn't refute it for a while.

"No more words, kid?"

Wang Ye smiled slightly, stood up straight, and said, "Affection is not worth a thousand taels of gold, passion is always hurt by ruthlessness!"

"I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, just learn from it, little bastard!"

Between the words, Wang Ye's words were a little more proud.

"Eating so much salt won't kill you..."

When Wang Ye was proud, Aji whispered.

"Hahaha, shopkeeper Wang is a transparent person!"

Looking at the appearance of Wang Ye and Aji, he smiled and said to Wang Ye: "Before leaving, I will also send a word to shopkeeper Wang!"

"Hey Yo"

Hearing this, Wang Ye's face instantly turned into a flattering smile: "I will definitely listen to the good words of the old god!"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, the expression smiled slightly: "Close the door and ignore the matter before the court, and pay the plum blossoms to decide on their own..."

After finishing speaking, Shen Xiang turned around slowly and walked towards the ferry.

Seeing the god leaving, Si Jianming saluted Wang Ye and Aji with fists cupped, then turned around and chased after him.

"old man…"

Looking at the back of Shenxiang going away, Wang Ye shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's up to you..."

What Shenxiang said just now was clearly telling himself not to meddle in other people's business, so he could continue to live in seclusion.

But how could he not know this truth?
There are endless disputes in the rivers and lakes, and he is still at ease as an innkeeper.

Only when I eat too much will I intervene in those bad things...

"Shopkeeper, what did Shenxiang tell you? It's behind closed doors and on its own initiative, why can't I understand a word?"

Just as Wang Ye was thinking secretly, Aji approached with a big face and asked.

"My god says, if you don't work hard, I will deduct your wages!"

Seeing Aji's big face, Wang Ye slapped it violently: "I don't want to do any work for a day, so I just know what to ask. Why don't you go to the west to learn scriptures when you are so free?"

After saying a word, Wang Ye walked into the Zuixian Tower with his hands behind his back.

"Wang Papi..."

Looking at Wang Ye's back, Aji said something in a low voice.

Immediately, he returned to the Drunken Immortal Tower in despair.

……

Time flies, before you know it, three days have passed.

In the evening, Zuixian Tower had already made its prototype.

The three of Wang Ye sat around in the hall and had dinner.

"Shopkeeper, hire a handyman!"

Aji took a chicken leg and chewed it, his mouth was full of greasy food: "Recently, there are more and more customers, and they are endlessly busy."

"I have martial arts, it doesn't matter if I'm tired, but you also have to consider Chen Chong!"

"Hey, you little brat!"

Hearing Aji's words, Wang Ye put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and said, "If you want to hire another handyman, just say so, don't take Chen Chong along!"

"I didn't take Chen Chong along!"

Hearing this, Aji shook his head, pointed at Chen Chong, who was eating sullenly next to him, and said, "It's because you pick and search and don't ask for chores, and Chen Chong has to help clean up after cooking, and Chen Chong is exhausted every day, you see He has dark circles under his eyes!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ye turned his head and looked at Chen Chong.

But he found that Chen Chong's eye sockets were deeply sunken and faintly black, obviously because he had not had a good rest.

"It's not... Are you so tired?"

Seeing Chen Chong's appearance, Wang Ye scratched his head and said, "I think it's okay, the day passed without doing anything, how can it be so hard?"

"nonsense!"

Before Wang Ye could finish speaking, Aji said from the side: "You are not tired of yelling at the counter every day, but you have to think for us!"

"I do a few chores by myself as a waiter and odd jobs. Chen Chong cooks vegetables during the day, helps clean up at night, and sharpens knives at night..."

"Speaking of sharpening the knife, I am puzzled. Chen Chong, do you chop wood with a kitchen knife every day? Sharpen the knife every day?"

As soon as this remark came out, Chen Chong, who was silent at the side, was startled slightly, and said, "Aji, you boy can't spit out ivory like a dog's mouth."

"Which knife cuts mutton every day and kills chickens. It is stained with grease and blood. If you don't sharpen it for a long time, the knife will become blunt. When the time comes, you have to go to the Cuishing Workshop to sharpen the knife. The gain outweighs the loss!"

"Look, look!"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ye nodded, and said to Aji: "Look at Chen Chong's awareness, and then look at you, every day except stealing, cheating, and talking back to me."

"It's all workmanship, why is the gap so big?!"

"Hey, I don't like to hear that!"

Hearing this, Aji put down the drumstick and was about to speak.

Bang bang bang!
And at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door...
