Yoshida Mii

Chapter 147
"You, do you recognize Master Yan?" Shan Qiang blurted out.

Dong Bao glanced at him, seeing that Shan Qiang's white and fat face was blushing with excitement, and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Yan and Mr. Yan like to eat my bean curd. Doesn't Mr. Shan also recognize Mr. Yan? Why? , Master Shan, what's your opinion?"

Shan Qiang smiled embarrassingly, waved his hands and said: "How can I have any opinions!" Then he raised his legs and entered the room, and saw Liang Zi and others sitting and eating bean curd and meat dumplings. After being surprised, he had to go forward again He greeted him with a smile, then called Dong Bao and asked, "How much did Master Liang spend on this table?"

Dong Bao did some calculations and said, "Five bowls of bean curd cost ten renminbi, five rice dumplings fifty renminbi, pancakes are raotou, a total of sixty renminbi."

Shan Qiang quickly took out two strings of money from his pocket, and laughed loudly: "I invite you for this table, I invite you." He stuffed the money into Dongbao, and said with a smile: "No need to change, the rest of the money will be given to the messenger. Serve some bowls of tofu curds and rice dumplings!"

"It's not going to work!" Liang Zi stood up and said with a smile, "How can Master Shan spend money!"

Shan Qiang quickly waved his hand, bent slightly and smiled and said, "Master Liang, a mere petty money, don't take it to heart! The poor masters work hard on patrolling the streets on weekdays. Just a little bit of meaning is not a respect, it is not a respect!"

Liang Zi is also used to the tricks of this group of merchants. He just had an early meal, which is not considered "bribery". Just now, he was just being polite. After thanking him, he sat down and continued to eat bean curd, while Shan Qiang sat until he was close to Liang Zi. on the far table.

Dong Bao calculated the price in his mind, and after Shan Qiang gave two hundred dollars, he put five pea flowers and twelve rice dumplings on Liang Zi's table.When it was Shan Qiang's turn, Dong Bao served him a bowl of bean curd and a peeled zongzi, and said with a smile, "Master Shan, try our Baoji's meat zongzi!"

"Thank you, Miss Dongbao!" Shan Qiang smiled, the fat on his face piled up together, since he knew that Mr. Yan and Dongbao and the others were close, and Liang Zi also praised Baoji, he was very concerned about Dongbao. Bao's attitude took a big turn.

Dong Bao smiled and went out. In fact, there was no need to thank Shan Qiang. He also paid for the meat dumpling. existence!It is simply high and unattainable.However, Shan Qiang, who is "powerful and rich", is cautious and humble in front of Mr. Yan and even Liang Zi. If the villagers see this, I am afraid it will be unbelievable!

Then I got in touch with the big shops in Anzhou City where people come and go, and the octagonal building known as the first building in Anzhou. The business is booming, which can be described as making money every day. It's just a piece of property of the Wang family. Compared with the Wang family, Shan Qiang can only be regarded as a local rich man with a little money.

Thinking of this, Dong Bao became more and more contemptuous of Shan Qiang, couldn't help but chuckled, and decided that her goal at this stage was to surpass Shan Qiang, and she wanted to become a wealthy local richer than Shan Qiang. What's the next step? Consider keeping up with the Wang family.

One hour before noon, the crowds in the market gradually decreased. Dong Bao and the others were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Li Shi and Li Hongqin were able to handle it, so Dong Bao and Zhang Xiuyu went to the backyard. The kitchen in the house started cooking the meals to be sold at noon.

Two days ago, Dong Bao had already told the students of the college that they would not bring vegetables here from now on. If the students wanted to buy food, they would walk a few steps to Baoji's shop.

When the academy was over at noon, students in twos and threes entered the shop together. The leaders were Zhang Qian and Lin Shi. As usual, as soon as the two entered the shop, they helped serve the dishes. Serving bowls and dishes for their classmates, the two also I don't think this is a shameful thing to see, and I have a calm attitude.

Zhao Zihui also followed Zhou Pingshan into the store. At first, Dongbao thought that Zhao Zihui would not come to eat their food after being rejected by Zhang Xiuyu. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zihui and Zhou Pingshan would still come here every day just like before, but they would never look at them again. Zhang Xiuyu was gone, and he stopped talking to Zhang Xiuyu, and left after ordering food.

After a while, Xiao Xu also came bouncing over with his schoolbag on his back, jumped on Dong Bao from behind, and said with a smile, "Sister Dong Bao, I'm here! What's there to eat?"

It was Dongbao's suggestion to let Xiaoxu come to eat at noon. Mr. Yan is an out-and-out "single dad" who takes care of Xiaoxu's life in every detail. However, he is busy with work and is unwilling to let Xiaoxu Eating outside was afraid that it would be unclean, so I had to hire a woman to cook for Xiaoxu.Once Xiaoxu complained inadvertently, saying that the mother-in-law's cooking was unpalatable and the dishes were always stewed too badly. Dongbao suggested that Xiaoxu come here for lunch. many.

At noon, Liang Zi also ran over and asked for Cengfan, and said with a cheeky smile: "This is great, I will have a place to eat in the future!"

Dong Bao glanced at Zhang Xiuyu, who was hiding in the kitchen with a red face, and asked Liang Zi half-truthfully, "Is there still room for you to eat? Someone treats you for breakfast!"

If he wants to eat a meal, those merchants who want to curry favor with him can't happily treat him to a big meal!

Liang Zi looked aggrieved, "Those people are entertaining guests, maybe they have some crooked ideas in their hearts! I don't dare to eat it!" This is the truth, Mr. Yan is upright, and he doesn't allow his subordinates to have any crooked thoughts.

Dong Bao thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the matchmaker he told Zhang Xiuyu was a bit too hasty. Judging from today's situation, Liang Zi was quite popular with the merchants in the town, and Shan Qiang was respectful to him. If Shan Qiang had a daughter, would he marry Liang Zi?Then why did Liang Zi fall in love with Zhang Xiuyu?

"Hey, come here, I have something to ask you." Dong Bao pulled Liang Zi and walked to the back of the shop.

Mrs. Li stomped at the door and said with a smile: "This kid, why is he getting more and more ambitious!" Fortunately, Dongbao is only ten years old. Gossip!
"What's the matter?" Liang Zi smiled.

There was no one in the backyard, Dong Bao looked up at Liang Zi, and asked seriously, "Why do you want to propose to my sister?"

Liang Zi couldn't prevent Dong Bao from asking this right away, almost choked on his own saliva, coughed for a while, blushed and said, "You're a child, why ask this?" Did I say media!Liang Zi couldn't help shouting in his heart.

At the same time, Zhang Xiuyu hid in the kitchen and eavesdropped on her face.

"Ask you serious!" Dong Bao was very dissatisfied with Liang Zi's attitude, and said, "I see, the old man who does business in this town should be very happy to see you, so it's not difficult for you to say goodbye, right? Someone proposed marriage to you? How come you just nodded when you mentioned my sister?"

Liang Zi was amused by Dong Bao's serious appearance, and thought it was interesting to discuss marriage with him, knowing that Zhang Xiuyu was listening in the kitchen, so he said seriously: "My parents are gone, and my family was poor a few years ago. Not to mention that there is no land, and the house is too dilapidated to live in. I am almost dying, and no one comes to say goodbye to me, let alone the big boss in the town, even a girl from a tenant farmer in the country, no one thinks highly of me. In the past two years, Master Yan has taken a fancy to me and recruited me as a yamen servant, so I... Those big bosses have money in their families, but they are also the best at watching people order dishes. In the past two years, there have been a few who came to kiss me. Well, I didn't hit any of them! I just fell in love with your sister."

Those girls are not as good-looking as Zhang Xiuyu, and they are not as gentle and quiet as Zhang Xiuyu. More importantly, he is just a yamen servant, and he doesn't even have a staff. If he offends someone, he may leave at any time. Those merchants told him Yes, it's not a serious daughter, either a distant niece who is too old to marry, or a concubine born to a concubine who can't stand on the stage.

Liang Zi didn't study much, but he didn't want to tie his life to someone who plotted against him. He just wanted to find a virtuous girl who could live a good life.Zhang Xiuyu met his requirements very well, and Zhang Xiuyu was young and beautiful. As a grown man, of course he liked Zhang Xiuyu better.But he didn't dare to tell Dong Bao about this, this little girl couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes.

"That's good!" Dong Bao heaved a sigh of relief. It was the first time in her two lifetimes that she was a matchmaker, and she was afraid that something might go wrong and cheat this good cousin.

Zhang Xiuyu squatted in the kitchen in embarrassment at Liang Zi's last words, ashamed to go out anyway.

In the afternoon, the streets of the town became deserted, and several people had been busy for a long time without touching the ground. Only now did they have time to sit down and rest. Gui Zhi missed her husband and children at home, and went back to Tagouji up.

"We have to hire two more people, and we have to add a few more items for breakfast, such as buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, eight-treasure porridge, etc., all have to be made." Dong Bao said, from the perspective of passenger flow, after changing to a shop, come to eat bean curd There are many more people than before, not only old customers come to eat, many people wearing long gowns, people who seem to have ample money also come in to eat, and they are also generous when they buy early. Eating at side stalls is not clean, but it also loses one's identity.

"It's not necessary." Li smiled, and thumped her sore leg, "It's not much work, I think I can bear it." Although she was tired, she was happy in her heart. It's your own, and the money you earn is also your own.The main reason is that Mrs. Li is a frugal and careful person. Hiring people means paying more wages, and the corresponding profits are less.

Dong Bao smiled and shook his head, "Mother, you are so tired today, do you still have the energy to make tofu in the afternoon? I have to hire someone, and I will ask Aunt Guizhi and Aunt Qiuxia to introduce us to some reliable ones."

Mrs. Li thought for a while, then nodded with a smile, "Hey, it's because I'm getting old, I don't want to move when I sit down. If you hire someone, just hire someone. I'll listen to my daughter." Then he asked: "What does Dongbao have? Any ideas?"
