The wood mage and the native brother
Chapter 71
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, shops open.It’s just that Fei Nuo has been enjoying the spring breeze for the past two days. He is sticky with Ji Deng. The face powder prepared in advance was not enough when things came to an end.
Ji Dengben was still thinking about getting up from the bed early to make one more box, but before he lifted the quilt, he was hugged back by an arm stretched out from the side, and the dark blue head followed closely come here for a while,
"Don't do it, don't do it, there are few people these days, so don't worry for a while."
Ji Deng was also yawning profusely, and was quite greedy for the warmth of the bed. Hearing that, the little struggle disappeared, and she lay down obediently again.
In a daze, the two heads rested together and fell asleep, it was extraordinarily warm and harmonious.
It was just going back to the cage to sleep, and when the two of them went out, it was already broad daylight.
Fortunately, the season is still in the middle of the New Year's Eve, and shops generally don't open as early as usual, and it's normal to delay the previous hour.
When the two arrived at the shop, many shops had just opened.And at the door of his own shop, there were two small figures standing, each carrying a rather large pannier on their shoulders.
When Ji Deng saw it from a distance, he patted his head regretfully.I forgot that there is another boy who is coming today, but it made people wait for so long in this cold weather.
So he quickly ran forward in three steps and two steps, took out the key to open the door, and apologized,
"It's been freezing outside for a long time, come in and warm up, blame me, blame me, I got up late today."
"It doesn't matter, we haven't been here for long."
replied the taller boy.
Ji Deng faintly felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and when he looked back, he couldn't help being surprised.
"It is you."
Fino, who came trotting behind, followed Ji Deng's line of sight and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"Is he your brother?"
At this moment, most people are still walking around the streets to pay New Year's greetings. After all, there are only a small number of people who come to the streets to shop, so there are naturally no people in the shops.The stove has been placed by the counter, and the surroundings are warm, and people's laziness is also on the top.
Ji Deng boiled some tea and handed it to the two brothers who were sitting stiffly,
"Drink something to warm you up."
"Thank you."
The elder brother thanked Ji Deng first, then he took the teacup, and he and the younger brother took a small sip to drink.
Fino held Ji Deng's hand in his own, leaned lazily on the back of the chair and raised his eyebrows, saying,
"Cooperating with my elder brother to sell fish at the door of our shop without paying the venue fee is not counted. If my younger brother comes to our shop to steal some incense powder, is this because of our family?"
When the elder brother heard this, his face turned pale, he quickly stood up, and knelt down facing the two of them with a plop.When the younger brother saw it, he quickly knelt down beside his elder brother.
"Hey--"
Ji Deng was soft-hearted, and was about to scream, but was pinched by Fei Nuo a few times, knowing that Fei Nuo had something to say, so he had no choice but to restrain himself and not speak.
Just listen to my brother,
"I was fortunate enough to sell fish in front of your door to earn money without paying fees. I received your kindness but never repaid it. Although my younger brother came to steal it, although I was instigated by others, it was also a kindness. It is really useless to repay us for lending us money for medical treatment and food. I came here today to send the fish I caught these days. Although it is not worth much, it is the only thing we can do at present. If you have anything If you need it, just find someone to run errands to Wuming Street and call us, I will definitely come and do my best. Thank you for your great kindness, I wish you a long life and prosperous business."
After speaking, he took his younger brother and kowtowed vigorously, untied the basket and put it in front of Fei Nuo and the other two, and then took his younger brother to leave.
"and many more."
Fei Nuo calmly called the two of them to stop, and asked his brother,
"Have you studied?"
The older brother was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said,
"Yes, I learned a few words with my late father."
"What's the name?"
"My name is Jiahe, and this is Pingle, Shedi."
Fei Nuo nodded, but raised his eyebrows and mocked,
"You guys just walked away. When you promised to do a year's free labor a year ago, you made a vow that we only lent you the money. Now that you have turned your face and refused to recognize anyone, where do you ask us to find a buddy temporarily? Now that you have studied, why? I don't know the truth that a gentleman's words are hard to follow, but I don't know as much as a foreigner like me."
"This……"
Jiahe was stunned.Fino's words mean...was it true that they were asked to be buddies before?He thought, he thought, it was just a momentary kindness of Fei Nuo and Ji Deng, just talking.
Seeing that the two children were stunned, Ji Deng quickly pulled them back and said with a smile,
"He's scaring you. If you don't have a job, you might as well be a boy in my shop. It's better than ice-cutting and fishing in winter."
Ji Deng has also tasted that feeling. His body is stiff and numb from the cold in the winter, but he still has to fish in the icy water to sell money. It's not that he is poor and can't open the pot. Who wants to do that work and suffer that.Because of this, Ji Deng often buys a few fish at home and here to take home, which can be regarded as a good relationship.
"Really, is it really possible?"
Jiahe was stunned at first, then became very excited, his body trembled slightly.Xiao Pingle even rolled his eyes with a happy smile, tugging at the corner of his brother's clothes and jumping up and down.
If someone else dismantled Fino's platform so early, Fino would have drawn a magic circle and thrown it over.However, this was a young man who had been abducted with great difficulty, so Fei Nuo had no choice but to put aside his arrogance, but still looked down at the two brothers - although he was thin and weak, his height was not inferior to ordinary people at all.
"Since you can read, hurry up and learn to do the work in the shop these few days. When there are more than 15 people, if you still can't support it, you can go back to where you came from. I will wait until the time comes. Take money with interest."
"Hey!"
There is a difference between home and where, the people living on Wuming Street are all poor families, and they built a straw hut as a place of residence. It is a luxury to have a full meal, let alone have a stable life. For a job, I should find a job on Zhuolian Street.
There are many people who want to come to Zhuanxiangyuan to work as employees. Although there is no wages, they borrowed the money from Fei Nuo, and they should pay back the money. At worst, they can do other things to earn a living after work. Yes, they saved the three hundred yuan, and there is still a lot left in their hands. It should not be a problem to gather these money together to live, so they quickly nodded in agreement.
"very good."
The effect of beating is not bad, Fei Nuo nodded in satisfaction,
"Go around and write down the names and efficacy of each fragrance powder. Ask if you know it. I'll check it later."
"Hey!"
Jiahe nodded seriously, and then took Pingle to look from the end of the shop, carrying the sign on his back while muttering.
Fei Nuo touched his chin proudly, and whispered to Ji Deng,
"The older ones are clerks, and the younger ones are running errands, adding coal to the stove and bringing water to the guests, which saves you and the little sister a lot of trouble. A literate mate doesn't cost a copper coin, and you don't have to find a place to live, right? Great? Am I the smartest?"
Ji Deng gave him a helpless look. These days, Fei Nuo has become more and more glib. If he were an ordinary person, he might be scared to retreat, but as a husband, he has to accept it completely, so he nodded and said,
"Yes, yes, it's just that it's not appropriate to not pay wages?"
Fino spread his hands indifferently,
"Why is it inappropriate? They still owe us hundreds of Wen, and they are already kind people who didn't ask for interest."
Ji Deng wanted to say more, but after thinking about it, he still kept his mouth shut.Fei Nuo has always been a successful man, since he said so, it should be his idea.
……
Taking advantage of the fact that there are not too many customers in the shop these few days, Ji Deng is busy making some incense powder to make up for the stock. Fortunately, Fei Nuo has a sense of proportion, and these few days are no longer clingy, so that people can't do anything.When Ji Deng was grinding spices in the shop, he walked around the shops on the street a few times, and when he saw something suitable for his shop, he asked the assistant to send it.
Brother Deng was busy making incense powder, and after he took care of his worries and these trivial matters, Brother Deng would be more relaxed and free, and he would have time to stay in bed with him.
Thinking of this morning's rubbing hands, Fei Nuo couldn't help narrowing his green eyes in recollection, and his steps on the street became much lighter.
Thanks to Fei Nuo, the censer in the shop has a lot more incense in the past few days. Ji Deng and his family put some incense powder in it and hang it up. It can not only provide incense, but also decorate it. Being able to sell it can kill three birds with one stone.
Apart from these miscellaneous things, Fei Nuo focused on visiting the spice shop.
Like the incense powder shop, there are several spice shops on Zhuolian Street, each with its own unique high-quality spices, Zhuanxiangyuan usually buys from several shops, so Fei Nuo also came to shop.
In comparison, there are more customers in the spice shop, but most of them are shopkeepers of the spice powder shop on the street, and they also come to buy some raw materials during these few days.Seeing the green-eyed man from Zhuanxiangyuan pacing in leisurely, he couldn't help but sharpen his peripheral vision.
When meeting with colleagues, I am extremely jealous.
This is true.What's more, although Zhuanxiangyuan has only come to Zhuolian Street not long ago, it already has a group of regular customers that can be called large-scale.There are only so many people in the vicinity of Zhuolian Street. If there are more people in Zuixiangyuan, there will be fewer people in their shop.
It's just that this foreign man surnamed Fei is said to be a soft eater, and the shopkeeper and incense powder in Zhuanxiang Garden are all handled by the shopkeeper Xiao Ji himself, so I don't want to meet him here today.
Several shopkeepers and shopkeepers looked at each other tacitly, with a bit of contempt for Fei Nuo in their eyes, but it was just a good face, and it was fine to say hello without smiling.
Fei Nuo smiled, and pretended to return the salute, so as not to see these people again.
Seeing that Fei Nuo was strolling around the shop, but no one liked it, the clerk of the spice shop went up to greet him and paid a New Year's greeting before saying,
"Mr. Fei, what do you want? There are still some spices in the shop that have not been processed, and it is too late to put them out. You told me that I will go to the backyard to find them for you?"
Fei Nuo reached out his hand and grabbed a handful of Imperata sativa in the basket, and twirled it, then turned to ask the buddy,
"Is there any processed Imperata coulis? It should be as it is, not ground."
The guy nodded repeatedly,
"Yes, yes. It just opened this year, and many spices haven't been ground yet. If you want it, I'll get it for you."
As he said that, he turned around and walked to the backyard.Log in to [Romance 888m.yanqing-888.net] to read novels, fast updates, no pop-up windows, free reading!
