Across the Market

Chapter 28

In the early winter morning in the south, the eastern morning glow dyed most of the sky red. The thin layer of ink in the sky seemed to be wiped away by a pair of invisible hands in an instant, and replaced by a blue sky and white clouds.People came and went in the market, and their breaths were covered with white mist, covering each other's faces.

Facing the light, Zhu Fu couldn't see the boy's face clearly, but he yelled in a high-pitched voice: "Where is this little girl running to make trouble? Don't you know where this is? This is the gate of our Jingbin Building!" "Business was not good at first, but now I have to deal with the people who come to welcome guests from the opposite door and send them to make trouble. It's hard to survive these days. The little guy jumped up anxiously, "Go back where you came from." I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you, you go back and tell your boss, if you dare to play tricks like this next time, don’t blame our boss to sue the magistrate.”

This little guy looks fragile, but his throat is high, and every sentence is yelling at the opposite door to welcome guests.

As soon as the voice on this side fell, a burly waiter came out of the opposite door to greet the guests. He threw the white cloth strip over his shoulder and shouted with his head held high: "Quan Erfu, what are you calling in the morning? My boss Business is not good, who are you referring to as Sang and Huai? Report to the county magistrate? Well, if you have the courage, go now and see if the county magistrate will help you to respect the guest building, or help us to welcome guests."

Everyone in the county knows that the magistrate of this county is a master of money, and whoever gives more money behind his back will help him. He is very old and confused.

"You..." Quan Erfu was so angry that his legs were trembling, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the old waiter at the opposite door, "You have the guts to stand here and talk when you eat all kinds of food? Our boss used to treat you well, here you go The salary is five taels of silver per month! Your old lady is not in good health, and she has been lying in bed for several years, but the boss personally sent someone to the provincial capital to invite a doctor to see your old lady, but you How did you repay it?" After he finished speaking, he paused, seeing more and more people watching the excitement around him, Quan Erfu gave the old waiter a cold look, "Fatty Li, you are that poisonous snake, you will repay your kindness with revenge, steal I bought the secret recipe of the owner’s signature dish and sold it to Yingke Lai. Presumably, I made a lot of money? You are the chef of the dignified Jingbin Building, but you went to Yingke Lai to be a small running hall. If I were you, I would be ashamed Come out to meet people! I'm pooh!"

This Big Fatty Li was originally a chef in the Jingbin Building, and he earned a full five taels of silver a month. Later, he saw that Jingbin Building's business was not good, and he liked himself when he came to welcome guests, so he rolled up his bedding and came to greet him. guest.Unexpectedly, to welcome guests is not to invite myself to be the chef, but to ask myself to be the waiter.

Working as a chef in the Jingbin Building, I can earn five taels of silver steadily for a month, and sometimes I can bring some dishes home to eat.But as a waiter for welcoming guests, he doesn't even have a tael of silver for a month, so he really can't live.But the other person has already come out, so it's not easy to go back, right?
Because of this old face, he can't go back. Besides, the business of Jingbin Building is not good now, and it might close down at some point.With this in mind, he also stayed in Yingkelai for several months. Seeing that Yingkelai's business was booming, he always wondered, maybe when the boss would let him into the back kitchen.

Fatty Li also spat at Quan Erfu, stomped his feet and shouted at the group of onlookers: "Let's go, let's go, see whatever you want! Do whatever you want!"

He listened to a group of people pointing at him, and he didn't know where to put his old purple-colored face, so he shrank his neck and ran away.
