Chapter 201 On Miscellany

The second shopkeeper of the Weixian Building removed a door panel with his own hands, and looked back anxiously. Who would have thought that, if he didn't pay attention, the door panel would slip from his hand and hit the ground with a "boom". In the early morning, it aroused the reverberation of half the street, and many people were shocked.

"Oh, you should be more careful." The big shopkeeper ran out with lingering fear, looked at the floor-to-ceiling door panel, and said, "You have a lot of life, look, you almost fell on your foot. You still have to break the back of your instep?" He pointed to the door panel and said, with a look of fear on his face.

The second shopkeeper also broke out in a cold sweat, wiped his forehead with a white cloth towel, and wiped the back of his neck.

The door panel fell just a few feet in front of his toes, if it was any more crooked, he would have to lie on the bed.

"Hey, what is this for?" The shopkeeper of Suji Tea Garden laughed, and idly wiped the white dishcloth on the counter in his hand, while jokingly elongated his voice: "Are you thinking about it?" That micro-zhi-yue-huh?"

This made everyone around me laugh.

Not to mention, since the building was opened, the business of all the merchants on this street has improved a lot, especially the restaurants and teahouses, which are almost full every day, and even set up tents to sell steamed cakes on the street Yes, it is also full of diners every day.

After careful calculation, there have been four posters of the Wei Zhiyue of the Yuanlou.

Some people have counted their days, and from the second one, the posting interval of Wei Zhiyue is fixed at seven days, and today is the day when the fifth Wei Zhiyue is posted, so the second shopkeeper of Xianweilou is so attentive Restless.

"That's right, why haven't you posted it at this time? Are you not in a hurry?" After a few steps away, the second shopkeeper of Shuixianju also came out at this time, looking at the direction of the Yuanlou not far away, stretching his neck Get old.

While the few of them were talking, there were gradually more pedestrians on the street, men, women, old and young, looking at their direction, they were heading straight for the building.

This is also a common scene on Donglaifu Street recently.

On the days when the Weizhi is posted on the Yuanlou, many common people and even servants of the gentry's family ran outside the teahouse to watch the excitement. He also brought a pen and ink, and copied the content of the notice back to show the master.

With these gentry as examples, it also gave birth to a new thing, that is, copyists.Some nimble Han students would move a table and sit on the side of the street to help people copy notices when Weizhiri posted them. Some merchants would spend as much as two dollars for their help.

While the shopkeepers were busy with their work, they all cast their gazes in the direction of the Yuanlou, and they kept talking. When the boy from the fruit cake shop saw him, he rolled his eyes and ran away. Back to the inner hall.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, hurry up and take a look outside, everyone is here." The boy kept looking back as he spoke, as if he was afraid that the people outside would disperse.

The shopkeeper was sitting drinking tea, and when he heard the words, he rolled his eyes in displeasure, and spat, "Why are you panicking, you look like a ghost in such a hurry, you don't look at all." The face is full of satisfaction: "It hasn't been posted yet, so we can wait for customers."

"Oh, that's not what I'm talking about," the little boy was so anxious that his head was sweating, "You still don't go outside to see, which one still asks the guy to remove the door panel? It's all the shopkeepers talking outside , since I was the one who came out of our shop, how could I have the face to approach them?" He was very eloquent and quick-witted, and he explained the situation outside in a few words.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, Huo Di stood up, walked out hastily and complained: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Then he suddenly stamped his feet, turned around and asked the boy, "Help me see , is the collar of my clothes crooked?"

The little guy shook his head hurriedly: "It's not crooked, it's neat, you should go quickly."

The shopkeeper's soles were windy, and he walked out quickly. Not long after, his loud greetings came from outside. The mandarin with a southern accent was completely different from the accent of the locals.

The little boy curled his lips in the inner hall, and followed out with his arms swaying. Seeing that the shopkeeper was unloading the door panel and talking non-stop, he was so happy that he leaned against the front of the counter. Look back.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a commotion in the crowd gathered in front of the Yuanlou, and immediately heard someone say: "Come, come."

With this sound, the shopkeepers of several shops all stopped talking and looked across the street.

The morning sun shines on the lintel of the Yuanlou, which is not tall, illuminating the words "Yuanlou Teahouse" brightly.The door panel under the plaque moved, and a piece was removed immediately. A half-pocked guy appeared behind the door rubbing his eyes.

"Ah Gui, good morning." The second shopkeeper of Weixian Building greeted him immediately, his voice was extremely loud, and after the greeting, he smiled affectionately at the clerk named A Gui, looking quite familiar .

"Do you know him?" The shopkeeper of the fruit cake shop immediately approached, with a bit of envy on his face: "How did you get in touch with him? The guys in this shop don't care about people." He went to look again as he spoke. That guy named Agui wished he could have a hook in his eye to lure him over.

The second shopkeeper of Weixian Building gave a lukewarm "um" and said perfunctorily, "I just said a few words, so I'm not too familiar with it." He looked unwilling to say more.

The big shopkeeper at the side came over at this moment, said with a haha: "That's right, he is amazing, how can we make it through." Then he winked at the second shopkeeper.

The second shopkeeper understood, turned around and went into the inner hall. Not long after, the big shopkeeper followed in. As soon as he came in, he immediately lowered his voice and complained: "What are you showing off? If someone asks you, how can you evade it?" As if he was afraid that someone would hear him later, he turned his head and said happily, "Fortunately, he is from the south, and he is not familiar with the local situation. If not, I will see how you end up."

The second shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and bowed to admit his mistake: "Yes, yes, I didn't think that much at the moment."

The big shopkeeper scolded him, then dragged him a few steps in, and found a secluded place where no one was around. Fang asked in a low voice: "That one named Agui, would you like to bring a message to their boss?" gone?"

The second shopkeeper shook his head, and said bitterly: "This kid is a cunning man. Although he looks young, he acts calmly. I have invited him to drink three times. His wine photo Drink, eat as you want, just refuse to let go, don’t know anything when asked, except that their boss’s name is Fu Peng, and don’t say anything else. It’s really bad for a young man to be so crazy.” He said While spitting on the ground, his face flushed red.
