Yoshida Mii

Chapter 146
Mrs. Li asked a fortune teller who set up a stall on the street for the date of opening. However, Dong Bao said that he had always been skeptical about the professionalism and accuracy of this fortune teller.

Mrs. Li took fifty dollars to ask, and the fortune teller with two mustaches seriously flipped through the torn book in his hand. Since the cover of the book was torn off, Dong Bao also I had no idea what kind of book that was.

"The 29th and [-]th of next month are both good days." The fortune teller finally came to a conclusion.

Dong Bao waved his hand and said to Li Shi: "It's too late, let's get another person to settle the matter."

The fortune teller hurriedly grabbed Dong Bao, squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I'll look through it again, there must be good days this month."

Mrs. Li looked at Dongbao dumbfounded. This girl's ideas are getting bigger and bigger. A few days ago, she was a matchmaker for her cousin. Afterwards, Mrs. Li didn't know how to say good things about her, didn't know whether to praise her or scold her. Now he "threats" the fortune teller again.

"The 28th of this month is a good day, the day after tomorrow!" The fortune teller smiled, pointing to the messy words printed on the torn book, and read: "May 28th in the Renxu year, it is suitable for marriage and groundbreaking. , business is sure to be booming.”

Dong Bao nodded in satisfaction, counted out ten of the fifty coins in his hand, and put them on the fortune teller's table.

The auspicious days of the zodiac have to obey the reality, right? !

After Li's mother and daughter left, the fortune-teller shook his head and sighed, holding the copper plate on the table. This little girl is quite shrewd.

On the opening day of the shop, not only Liang Zi came to congratulate him with a few yamen servants, Master Yan also brought Xiao Xu over early, and gave Dong Bao a red firecracker with [-] rings.

Liang Zi lit the firecrackers with incense, and the sound of crackling firecrackers resounded through the whole street. The smoke cleared, and the ground was covered with exploding red firecracker papers. firecracker.

After the firecrackers were set off, Dong Bao moved out a table from the house, and brought out tofu, bean sprouts, and a large pot of bean curd, and the crowd of onlookers gradually increased. The onlookers laughed and said: "Everyone, uncles and aunts, big brothers and sisters, today is the first day that our Baoji Tofu opens, a big bowl of bean curd costs two cents, and if you buy two bowls of bean curd, you will get a catty of bean sprouts for free. This is cheap! Most of you should have tried our Baoji bean curd and tofu, we are a time-honored brand!"

Before Dong Bao could finish speaking, Lord Yan dragged Xiao Xu into the shop, and said simply to Mrs. Li at the door: "Two bowls of bean curd, two rice dumplings, and one pancake."

Dong Bao hurriedly said loudly, "Okay! Auntie, weigh a catty of bean sprouts for this guest, and bring them after the guest finishes eating!"

Liang Zi and a few yamen servants also followed behind into the house with a smile on their faces, and said to Zhang Xiuyu, "I want five bowls of bean curd and five rice dumplings, and we don't want the two catties of bean sprouts. Can you spare us two pancakes?"

Zhang Xiuyu responded with a blushing face, and began to serve the bean curd.

Dong Bao looked at it with a smile, Xiaoyou, the future little cousin-in-law openly "molested" the little cousin!
Mr. Yan was wearing an ordinary linen shirt today, not official uniforms, but Liang Zi and the others were wearing the soap clothes of the yamen. Seeing the officials, they went in with confidence and boldly. It became a shop, but the price did not change, and many people rushed in.

Not only old customers came into the shop, many first-time customers also came in for the benefit of eating two bowls of bean curd and giving a catty of bean sprouts.After a while, the shop was full.And at the place where Li Shi used to set up a stall, Li Shi also asked Mrs. Geng and Lao Chen, if anyone asked them why the bean curd stall didn't come out, please trouble them to point the direction of the shop to the customers.

Baoji had a good reputation before, and today is the first day of opening of the new store, and Gui Zhi has come to help, but a few people are still busy with their feet on the ground, and many people can't find a seat in the house, so they have to squat with bowls When they went to eat under the eaves, Dongbao was busy collecting money and keeping accounts. Guizhi and Li Hongqin, who were in charge of serving the bean curd, wished that one person could be divided into two people.

"Ouch! Isn't this Xiucai's sister-in-law!" Someone shouted in surprise at the door.

Mrs. Li was busy filling the bean curd, and when she heard the sound, she looked up and saw Shan Qiang standing there in a gray silk shirt with his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face.

"Hey." Li Shi responded lightly, and didn't mean to talk to Shan Qiang. When she saw Shan Qiang, she couldn't help but think of the past. It was so difficult at that time, and Song Yang took care of this hair so much. Little, but how did Shan Qiang treat them?Although the past has passed and Li Shi has survived the most difficult days, it does not mean that Li Shi is a person who heals his scars and forgets the pain.

Shan Qiang heard the sound of firecrackers when he was doing accounts in his grain shop.When an ordinary small shop opens, it is just a [-]-shot firecracker, but the sound of the firecrackers heard this time, not to mention the loud sound, which has not stopped for a long time, is obviously a [-]-shot long whip.He thinks he has lived in the town for ten years, and he can touch any place in the town with his eyes closed, but he doesn't know which big shop is open today, so out of curiosity, Shan Qiang came out to have a look, He didn't expect to see something that surprised him when he saw it.

Looking at the busy women, Shan Qiang had a smile on his face, but he was quickly thinking about it in his heart. If he remembered correctly, around the Qingming Festival this year, this woman still brought her "tiger girl" daughter He went to his house like the two beggars, but he didn't see him. From Shan Qiang's point of view, it's no wonder that he is the reason. The water flows to the lower places, and the people go to the higher places. Now the difference between the Shan and Song families is too big. Wouldn't it be a joke to be in-laws?
The second time I saw Li's mother and daughter this year was before the Dragon Boat Festival. At that time, Li's mother and daughter were no longer wearing patched clothes, and bought a lot of rice and white noodles. Obviously, they were living a very good life.At that time, he didn't think much about it, it was just setting up a stall to make ends meet, no matter how good the business was, it was just earning hard money, and he didn't pay much attention to the little money Li earned from the few shops he owned.

However, this third meeting today really surprised him.It was less than a month since they last met Mrs. Li, and they actually bought this shop!In such a short period of time, they actually saved so much money!
"Sister-in-law, you've made a fortune! Seeing that the business is doing well, the sum of my shops can't compare to it!" Shan Qiang flattered him with a smile, and asked tentatively: "Will you buy this shop? Less money?"

When Li Shi saw Shan Qiang, his heart was blocked and uncomfortable, and he didn't want to talk to him, but he stood in front, talking loudly. Before Li Shi could speak, Dong Bao next to him smiled crisply and said: "Master Shan knows how to speak." The joke made us poor and happy! Who in the entire Yuanshui knows that Mr. Shan has the biggest business! Mr. Shan has a single grain and oil shop, and our dozen or so shops combined!"

Shan Qiang was blocked by Dong Bao's few words, looked at Dong Bao with squinted eyes and smiled, pointed at Dong Bao and said with a smile: "Look at this girl, she looks handsome, and her mouth is also sharp and sharp, follow me That scholar brother looks the same!" He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sister-in-law, your life is lucky, a girl is worth as much as others!"

Nonsence!Dong Bao couldn't help but let out a piss in his heart, she was not like the Phoenix man's father!
Mrs. Li sighed. Shan Qiang is talking nonsense when he sees people, talking nonsense when he sees ghosts. He is no longer the weak young man who hugged his newborn son and cried at the door of Song's house ten years ago, and he is not swearing against the sky. It's time to repay Song Xiucai's man.

"Master Shan, our shop is rented by others. We can earn two or three a month, and the food for our orphans and widowed mothers is enough to pay the rent." Li Shi said, "It's not as profitable as what Master Shan said. !"

The smile on Shan Qiang's face faded quite a bit, and he still said with a smile: "Seeing that my sister-in-law is out of touch, what are you calling me a master! Just call me Shan brother, our two families have been friends for decades!"

Don't others know that he still doesn't know?The original owner of this shop wanted to sell it. He had never heard that it was going to be rented out. When I was there, I was told that the shop had changed hands.

Mrs. Li clearly bought the shop, but she refused to admit it.

"Master Shan, you have been looking at it for a long time, would you like a bowl of my home's bean curd?" Dong Bao smiled, "It only costs two yuan a bowl."

Shan Qiang laughed a little stiffly. The little girl clearly said that he had stood there for a long time without buying, so she took out a few copper coins from her sleeve and handed them to Dong Bao, "Then have a bowl!" The servants have bought the tofu made by Mrs. Li, and it tastes good.He also heard from the servants at home that the tofu curds made by this shop are delicious, but he is a master, so he can't eat roadside stalls like the servants, so he never came to taste it.

"Then please come to your room." Dong Bao smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Just as Shan Qiang was about to go in, he saw Master Yan pulling Xiao Xu out of the house.Even though Mr. Yan was not wearing official uniform today, Shan Qiang recognized it at a glance, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Yan, are you coming to have breakfast too?"

Although Shan Qiang is very rich, he is the last businessman. When he sees Mr. Yan as an "official", he can't help but humble himself and flatter him.

Master Yan took a look at him, bowed his hands politely, gave Dong Bao a handful of copper coins with an indifferent "Yeah", and there were about thirty of them, then took Xiao Xu out, and before leaving, told Dong Bao And Mrs. Li said hello, "You are busy, I will take Xiaoxu and leave first."

"Hey, Uncle Yan, let Xiaoxu come to our place for lunch at noon!" Dong Bao laughed.

Master Yan nodded, Xiao Xu still wanted to talk to Dong Bao for a while, but seeing that Dong Bao was very busy, he had no choice but to follow his father first.

Shan Qiang stared dumbfounded, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He was shocked again today.

Li's mother and daughter actually know Mr. Yan, and the relationship seems to be quite familiar!
