Otherworldly Days

The next morning, Cao Xiangnan came to Yipinzhai. As soon as he came to the store, the waiter saw him and warmly led him inside, "Mr. Cao, please go upstairs. Our shopkeeper is upstairs. If you say you come, I will let you go straight up." .”

"What is your shopkeeper looking for me for?" Cao Xiangnan asked the second brother.

He went over to listen to the second brother say a few words, shopkeeper Fang is here?Cao Xiangnan knew about Shopkeeper Fang.But there is one more?Even Shopkeeper Fang and Shopkeeper Liu are waiting on the sidelines, so who is it?

With doubts in his heart and some guesses, he followed Brother Dian up the stairs.

"Knock, knock—" Cao Xiangnan stood in front of the door, knocked on the door, and waited outside.

Shopkeeper Liu came to open the door, and saw Cao Xiangnan coming, said something to him in a low voice, led him in, bowed and said respectfully, "Master, this one is Mr. Cao Xiangnan."

He also named the other party's identity in one sentence.

Shopkeeper Liu had never seen their big owner of Yipinzhai before. He had been the shopkeeper of Yipinzhai here in Fenshui Town for so many years, and he only had contact with Fang shopkeeper in Nanyang City. He had been to Nanyang City and met a few The second shopkeeper.Originally, he thought that only shopkeeper Fang came over this time, but he didn't expect that he brought the big boss along with him this time.

As soon as Cao Xiangnan came in, he saw the young man sitting in the first place. He was only about 20 years old, dressed in black, and his face was like jade.The man pinched the cup with his slender fingers, put it on the table beside him when he came in, and looked at him with a pair of cold eyes. Cao Xiangnan arched his hands and made a bow to the other party, and said, "Cao Xiangnan."

"En." The man responded, pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "Sit down."

Cao Xiangnan thanked him and sat down politely.

"You don't have to be so polite. I heard shopkeeper Fang mentioned you. I just came here to meet you when I was in Nanyang." Fang Ziye was originally in Nanyang City, and he had eaten a new dish from Yipinzhai. The taste was no better than what he had eaten before. The best dishes were not good, so after asking, I found out that these dishes came from Fenshui Town, and after asking, I found out about Cao Xiangnan.

Just in time, he came here for a while.

"I would also like to thank you for the recipes for Yipinzhai. Now Yipinzhai has more customers every day, and the business is much better than before." Fang Ziye gave a look, and the shopkeeper Fang took out a bank note from his sleeve and went over. , "This is a small thought of mine."

Cao Xiangnan didn't reach out to pick it up, but shook his hand and refused, "Sorry, I can't ask for this. Shopkeeper Liu has already given me money before, and after that, shopkeeper Liu also gave me a sum of compensation. I must never take this money again." gone."

How can there be a thing that is sold and charged three times? Besides, he was the Yipinzhai he found at the beginning, and he talked with shopkeeper Liu. He sold the prescription to shopkeeper Liu with a clearly marked price. He was compensated a lot of money through Shopkeeper Liu.Now that the big boss has seen him and wants to give it again, he himself is too embarrassed to take it.

And now that he has Yipinzhai, it will be much easier for him to sell anything in the future. In this regard, he is also taking advantage of Yipinzhai.

Some money can be taken, and some money cannot be taken. Cao Xiangnan also has a ruler in his heart.

Shopkeeper Fang took a look at their boss's house, took the bank notes back, and respectfully stood beside his boss's house.He didn't see the little brother Cao that shopkeeper Liu was talking about when he came up, but he did see him today, and a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes. It's no wonder shopkeeper Liu likes this kid so much, he looks good too.

"In the future, if you have new ideas and sell them to Yipinzhai, I will definitely treat you badly." Fang Ziye saw that the other party was not greedy, and he had a good impression of him, he said.

"Okay, okay." Cao Xiangnan was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly agreed, a little flattered.

As a poor country boy, he is already very lucky to be able to climb into Yipinzhai. Now he can only rely on Shopkeeper Liu for everything he has.At this moment, the boss of Yipinzhai came to see him in person, said these words to him, and promised him that he would definitely not treat him badly.

Fang Ziye couldn't help laughing when he saw the other party's dazed look, and said, "I heard that you opened a restaurant in the town."

"Well, yes, it just opened a few days ago. It was originally a stall on the dock. Thanks to Shopkeeper Liu's help to find a shop, I saw that the location is suitable. The other party thought it was a good idea to rent a shop for the sake of Shopkeeper Liu. It was cheap, so I rented it out. Hehe, small restaurants are all small businesses, just enough to support the family.” Cao Xiangnan saw that the other party mentioned his restaurant, so he knew that it was shopkeeper Liu who was talking about his own. Although the restaurant is not comparable to Yipinzhai, he is still quite proud of the restaurant he built. The original purpose of the restaurant was just to support his family. Now it is much better on this basis, which is good.

Seeing the smile on the other party's face, Fang Ziye's closed eyes flashed a light, the corners of his mouth curled up, the smile on his face was a little unclear, and he said, "Most people in the world just want to support their families."

Afterwards, they chatted for a few words, and Fang Ziye's face showed a look of exhaustion.

Shopkeeper Fang accompanied him all the way here, knowing that their boss was feeling unwell, and seeing their boss looking tired, he proposed, "Boss, you are not feeling well after taking the boat all the way, why don't you go and rest for a while. The young master is right here, you can meet him anytime later if you want to."

"Yeah." Fang Ziye felt uncomfortable. He didn't feel uncomfortable when he was on a boat before, but this time he felt dizzy and a little nauseous. Since shopkeeper Fang proposed, he also nodded along the way.

"If Xiang Nan is not in the town, he is still in Cao's Village. It will take half an hour to come here. If you want to see Xiang Nan, just let Shopkeeper Liu send someone to inform Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan can come anytime." See The face of the other party is not very good, Cao Xiangnan said hastily.

"it is good."

"Big boss, the wing room has been prepared." Shopkeeper Liu said.

When the other party left, Cao Xiangnan still stayed there, knowing that shopkeeper Liu would come over later.Sure enough, not long after shopkeeper Liu left, he came with shopkeeper Fang. Unlike the serious face just now, shopkeeper Fang will be smiling now.

"Master Fang." Cao Xiangnan hurriedly bowed his hands when he saw the person, and shouted respectfully.

"You're welcome, I came here in a hurry last time, I didn't see you and hurried back, now I finally see you, um, you're a good boy." Shopkeeper Fang patted Cao Xiangnan on the shoulder, and walked towards the round table In the past, sat down and said, "Sit down, don't be so reserved, just treat me as an old brother like shopkeeper Liu."

Cao Xiangnan smiled sheepishly, and looked at Shopkeeper Liu.

"Haha, little brother, you don't have to be polite with Lao Fang, everyone is your own. You sit down first, and I'll send someone to bring over two small dishes and a pot of wine. Let's have a drink." Shopkeeper Liu walked over and opened the door. out.

Without their big boss here for a while, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.

Cao Xiangnan sat down on the seat next to him, looked at shopkeeper Fang, and said, "Treasurer Fang, the batch of dishes you ordered has been marinated, and it will be ready in a few days. Send it to you."

"Success, success." Shopkeeper Fang asked after listening to shopkeeper Liu that the boy's family was building a house, "The house at home is finished."

"It's almost done, and the work will be finished tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Cao Xiangnan said.

The house was half as fast as he expected, and half of the manpower was hired later, and the progress was quite impressive.In fact, the wages are the same. This work is calculated on a daily basis. If there are fewer people, you will work for a few days, and if you have more people, you will work for a few days.

Now I can still finish the work before the promising date, and it is exactly three days later that I will go to Li Banxian to see the house. Cao Xiangnan asked, "How long will Manager Fang stay here? Three days later, Xiangnan's house will enter the house. If shopkeeper Fang is here at that time, I would like to ask shopkeeper Fang to come over and have a drink."

"Three days later, okay, okay, if you are still here by then, you will definitely pass by." When he will leave depends on his big boss, shopkeeper Fang will follow, and he will follow his big boss when the time comes Walk.

When shopkeeper Liu came back, he saw the two people inside talking happily.

Cao Xiangnan also talked to shopkeeper Liu about his family moving into the house in three days, and invited shopkeeper Liu to have a drink when he is free.Shopkeeper Liu agreed with one gulp, and said, "Okay, I must go over and have a drink then."

The waiter brought up the dishes, and specially asked the kitchen to make a big pot of fish with pickled cabbage for Shopkeeper Fang to taste.Shopkeeper Fang picked up his chopsticks, gave a long "hmm" and said, "This tastes good, there are sour and spicy, is this the sauerkraut fish you mentioned?"

Because there is no sauerkraut in Nanyang, this dish has never been made, so it is also the first time for shopkeeper Fang to eat it.

"Yes, everyone who comes to eat in the building now must order such a dish." Shopkeeper Liu was very proud when he said this. You must know that the business in their building has been booming since Cao Xiangnan came, and there are no fewer people.

The three of them were chatting while drinking in the private room, and Cao Xiangnan didn't bother to inquire about the man just now, listening to Shopkeeper Fang and Shopkeeper Liu talking, he was by the side, occasionally saying a word, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Later, the wine was almost drunk, and when it was almost noon, more people came to eat at Yipinzhai. Knowing that the shopkeeper Liu was busy, and his own restaurant was also busy, Cao Xiangnan took advantage of the situation and proposed to go back.

"Okay, let's drink it another day."

"to make."

After bidding farewell to the two shopkeepers, Cao Xiangnan left Yipinzhai and went back to his own shop.

There were a lot of people coming to eat at noon, and he was busy as soon as he went back, and he was busy until after noon, when there were fewer people coming to eat, so he sat down to drink a glass of water, rested for a while, and sat down with Sun Ji and the others have lunch.

After the number of people coming to eat at the stall next door decreased, Sun Bailian also came over, and Aning was watching the shop over there.
