Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 60, Uncle Joe
"Sister Xiao, hahaha, I thought it was something, it turned out to be this matter, it's a trivial matter!" Zhou Chuan took a step closer to her and said, "Sister Xiao, you should have heard Zhou Ji say that after the guest restaurant re-opens the account , I set up an exclusive private room, that private room is not for outsiders, that private room is prepared for Xiao Meizi and Xiao Meizi’s family, no matter when Xiao Xiaozi comes to Laibin Restaurant for dinner, all consumption in that private room is free of charge. It's also to thank you. Yu Liu, Zhou Ji and I discussed the gifts for you. I was thinking about meeting you one day and telling you in person. Since it's your son, then the members of Mr. Li's family, I Just arrange them in Xiao's private room, do you think so?"

Is this asking for Xiao Qing's consent?

Xiao Qing didn't expect Zhou Chuan to repay her so much, he set up a private room for their family in Laibin Restaurant, there was such a long line outside, and he could still spare a private room for her, which was much more valuable than the lo mei he gave her just now up.

Zhou Chuan really regarded her as a benefactor!

"Sure, of course, I don't know how to thank you for such a big gift from shopkeeper Zhou." Xiao Qing said gently for such a big gift: "Then trouble shopkeeper Zhou, when he invites the Li family into the store, I attribute all this to Qiao Hong, their young servant, and hope that Master Li's family can treat Qiao Hong better."

They are not business partners now, but friends.

Zhou Chuan hummed, and he thought for a while and said, "Sister Xiao, I have actually inquired about your family's situation, and I can see your changes. If you want to redeem your son and daughter, you need some silver. I can lend it to you! You don’t need to pay me back, as long as I give you two catties of dogwood noodles each time, can you consider it?”

The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth curled up into a wry smile, knowing that they would get to know her better after getting to know the details, so he nodded: "Thank you, shopkeeper Zhou, I will make a note of it."

Zhou Chuan smiled: "Sister Xiao, the store is busy, I'll go back first, I will ask Zhou Ji to find Qiao Hong and Master Li's family later."

Xiao Qing cupped his fists at him: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhou!"

Zhou Chuan waved his hand: "There is no need to say thank you between you and me, this gift is too outrageous, I will go back."

Xiao Qing hummed, turned around and walked towards the main entrance of Laibin Restaurant.

She stood at the main entrance and saw that Qiao Hong was still queuing at the end, and at this moment Zhou Ji came out of the store, and when he saw Xiao Qing, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and quickly ran to the end.

He stood in front of the people in line and asked, "Which one is from Mr. Li's family?"

Qiao Hong lowered his head and lined up at the back. He still stood there without hearing anything.

Xiao Qing smiled helplessly.

Zhou Ji shouted again: "Which one is from Master Li's family? Come with me!"

Qiao Hong heard the sound, thinking he heard it wrong, seeing the people around him looking back and forth, he raised his hand timidly, "Yes...it's me!"

The manager Li over there heard Zhou Ji's call the first time, and he thought he had heard it wrong, and then he heard the waiter calling, so he raised his hand faster than Qiao Hong: "Here, here!" What about here?"

Guanshi Li squeezed in front of Zhou Ji from the crowd: "It's me, it's me, I'll go with you, I'll go with you!"

Zhou Ji asked him, "Are you Master Qiao Hongqiao?"

Li Guanshi was startled, and shook his head in doubt, when did this Qiao Hong become Uncle Qiao, he was just a slave.

Did the waiter in this shop admit the wrong person?

"Xiao Er, we belong to Mr. Li's family, and my servant is Qiao Hong, but he is just a rough servant. Your store is famous, how can you let a rough servant come in?" Li Butler said with a smile .

Zhou Ji frowned when he heard this. In the past few days, in their shop, everyone went up to Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou, down to the county magistrate and his family members. Who didn't he greet here personally?He didn't call on this little bookkeeper.

"Guard Li, we only recognize Mr. Qiao Hongqiao. The shopkeeper has something to say. Uncle Qiao is the guest of honor at our Laibin Restaurant. We want Mr. Qiao to bring Mr. Li's family to the restaurant in person. As for whether to bring Mr. Li, It depends on whether Uncle Qiao is willing to take you there." Zhou Ji said loudly, afraid that the people in line would not hear.

Li Guanshi's face was embarrassed for a moment. Although he didn't know when Qiao Hong became an uncle, he recognized this waiter these days. He only served distinguished guests, state governors, county yamen, military commanders, salt envoys, and people from the Hou's House. , he cannot be offended, to offend him is to offend everyone above.

"Okay, okay, Shopkeeper Zhou, I'll call Uncle Qiao here."

For a while, Uncle Qiao Hongqiao spread word of mouth among the people in line, how sacred is this, even more noble than the governor of the state, the county government, the military commander, and the family members of the Houfu Bofu?
To be personally invited by the shopkeeper of Laibin Restaurant?

"Uncle Qiao is more noble than the mother next to Mrs. Hou's mansion?"

"What's the history of this Qiao Hong?"

"Is he a member of the military commander?"

"Is it someone close to Lord Hou?"

"No, no, didn't you say that you are from Master Li's family?"

"Look, look, people are coming out, people are being pulled out!"

People in the line turned their heads to look at Steward Li, wanting to see what Qiao Hong looked like.

Li Guanshi held back the anger in his heart, and when he heard the words in his ear, his face was gloomy and cold.

His master is the master bookkeeper in the yamen, and their masters have to line up in person, so a rough slave boy can be called a master by the guest restaurant.

Qiao Hong stood at the back with his head down, listening to others talking about him, he didn't dare to raise his head anymore.

"Qiao Hong, come here!" Steward Li called out to him.

Qiao Hong walked timidly from the team, and under everyone's attention, he walked to Li Guanshi's side step by step.

Everyone looked at him from top to bottom, a cowardly and immodest child dressed in coarse clothes, as thin as if he had been abused for a long time.

"Look, that's Uncle Joe!"

"Who is this person, I have never seen it before!"

"It turns out that he is a servant of a rough envoy. What background does he have? Could it be that he is from the capital?"

"Didn't you say Uncle Qiao? Why are you a rough envoy?"

For a moment, Qiao Hong walked into everyone's line of sight and left a deep impression on them.

Manager Li looked around from the corner of his eye. Seeing Qiao Hong walking up to him, he asked in a low voice, "Do you know Shopkeeper Zhou of Laibin Restaurant?"

Qiao Hong shook his head cautiously: "The steward, the villain doesn't know him, and the villain doesn't know the name of the guest restaurant."

Seeing Qiao Hong's astonished face, Guanshi Li couldn't guess the reason, so he was put in the position by him today, so he hurriedly invited the master in. The master waited for a few days, and if he didn't let the master in, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to escape the punishment .

"Since I know you, I would like to take this opportunity to talk to shopkeeper Zhou and Zhou Ji more often. You can go in with the waiter first, and I will invite the master."

"Yes, steward!" Qiao Hong replied.

Qiao Hong came to Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji looked at him and asked, "Are you Master Qiao Hongqiao?"

Qiao Hong immediately waved his hand: "I can't call you a master, but the villain Qiao Hong!"

Zhou Ji pulled Qiao Hong, faced all the people in line, and solemnly announced: "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet!"
