Fisherman

The efficiency of the restaurant is quite high, after all, it mainly sells wine, and after noon, all the wine is delivered to the shop.

After Zhao Qian accepted it, he opened the wine jar and took a sip. It was quite spicy, but the boss didn't trick the customer into adding water to it.

"In the future, the guests will ask if there is any wine, and finally the wine can be brought out." Brother Zhou clapped his hands after finishing the wine jar.

After tidying up the shop, the couple slowly opened the shop.

While lighting a charcoal fire, Zhao Qian said, "We don't have much seafood anymore. When we go back to the village tomorrow, we can buy more from the folks."

"Okay." Brother Zhou agreed, and it was true that he didn't go back for a long time, and it took ten days in a blink of an eye.

The two of them talked about each other, and it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon when the shop opened. There was a sudden bustling noise from the normally quiet alley. Zhao Qian looked at the street and saw a sedan chair Going inside, the people passing by are all amazed, it is extremely rare for sedan chairs to come in this street.

He watched the sedan chair being carried all the way, and finally stopped at the door of the shop, making the narrow street even narrower.

Brother Zhou put away the tablecloth, stretched his neck and looked out, wondering, a middle-aged man came down from the sedan chair, and then came out with a petite woman inside.

The woman among them is Cao Fang. Brother Zhou has never seen that man, but Zhao Qian has, and it just so happens that she saw him in a restaurant today, and she walks with a big belly and stuffs her face. He is also very rich and magnanimous. With the charming and charming Cao Fang on his arm, he is telling everyone who doesn't know him: I am very rich.

Zhao Qian sorted out the things on the shelf, and sneered in her heart: I didn't expect it to come.

But what surprised him and Brother Zhou the most was that the man behind Cao Fang turned out to be this man who looked like he could be her father. Thinking back, Cao Fang scoffed at all the young men in the village, so money is the best thing to do.

Qiu Fusheng walked into the shop, took a long breath, and smelled the tantalizing aroma of the meat skewers on the barbecue grill, and his interest was suddenly aroused. Hearing everyone's praise, he wanted to see if it was worthy of the name. But it doesn't look like it was in vain.

"Bring me some of the signature dishes." Qiu Fusheng said proudly.

The visitor was a guest, so Zhao Qian asked Zhou Geer to invite people to come in and sit down. At this time, Cao Fang, who had been smiling and looking at Qiu Fusheng, seemed to have noticed him, covered her mouth, and her eyes were full of surprise: "Brother Zhao! Brother Zhou! This shop is yours." Did the two drive?"

Looking at the startled face, Zhao Qian didn't expose her poor acting skills. Instead, she cooperated with her performance and said, "Who are you?"

"Brother Zhao, you don't know me anymore!" Cao Fang laughed like a silver bell.

Qiu Fusheng looked at the beautiful woman who had just passed the door beside him, and asked doubtfully, "Do you know them?"

Cao Fang nodded: "Master, Big Brother Zhao used to be in the same village as me, so he's a great guy."

"Oh, that's still familiar."

Cao Fang looked at Brother Zhou who was busy on the side again: "Brother Zhou, I saw you outside the tailor shop yesterday, and you left in a hurry without saying hello, I want to chat with you for a while In other words, ask the folks in the village how they are."

Zhao Qian smiled, as if he suddenly realized: "So it's Cao Fang, didn't you leave with Xue Yao before? Is this master?"

Cao Fang's complexion did not change, but with a smile on her face: "This is my husband."

"Okay, don't bother chatting, are the things baked?" Qiu Fusheng was not very interested in the conversation between the two, but kept staring at Zhao Qian's hand that was constantly steaming and smelling on the iron net Chuaner.

Cao Fang saw that Qiu Fusheng seemed to love Zhao Qian's roasted food very much, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to humiliate Zhao Qian today, and let him see how he humiliated her back then, and what she is living now life, and what kind of poor life did they live.

She walked up to Zhao Qian and looked around the shop for a week: "Brother Zhao, this shop of yours is too remote, why don't you rent a bigger one for the market, it's not as big as a toilet in any random shop in my husband's house." Woolen cloth."

"It's remote and small, but it's not for you to find it." Zhao Qian said calmly.

Cao Fang smiled: "That's right, thanks to Brother Zhao's good craftsmanship."

Then she turned to Brother Zhou again, looked at the skewered meat skewers and seafood in the cabinet, picked them up and smelled them: "The weather is so strong, don't let them go bad!"

Brother Zhou picked up some barbecue and put it in front of her nose: "Then you should smell it carefully to see if it's rotten."

She hurriedly took two steps back, afraid of rubbing her face, and said angrily: "I just care about it, everyone is a fellow countryman, brother Zhou, don't be angry, it looks like your temper is still the same as before, follow along like this It’s not good for Big Brother Zhao to come out to do business.”

Zhao Qian put the roasted barbecue in front of Qiu Fusheng, and said, "Boss Qiu is worthy of being a businessman. Even sister Cao Fang, who can't read Chinese characters, knows business when she gets married."

Qiu Fusheng stared at the barbecue, and couldn't wait to take out his chopsticks to taste it. He almost slapped the table and said it was delicious. He called Cao Fang: "Fang Fang, come and taste it. It's very fragrant and not bad."

Cao Fang gave Zhou Ge'er a sneaky look, and slowly walked over: "Since the master likes it, it's great."

"This barbecue is really delicious, and it's not in vain that everyone praises it. Brother, Fangfang is right. Your shop is remote, and the business must not be very good. Why don't you come to my house, and I will give you a meal every month. The starting salary is guaranteed to satisfy you, and you don't have to be so tired every day." After eating half a plate of barbecue, Qiu Guisheng threw an olive branch to Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian smiled, as if they were a couple: "Although the shop is small, it's comfortable, and I only know how to do it. I'm afraid I'll be sorry for your wages when I go to Boss Qiu's house."

"Brother Zhao, our master also appreciates you. It's much better to be in the house than here. You get up early and sleep late every day, and you can't earn a few copper coins. Why are you doing this?" Cao Fang helped Qiu Guisheng persuade, She smiled slightly, and took Qiu Guisheng's wrist: "Besides, the master sees that you and I are from the same hometown, so you will pay more wages, which must be much better than if you open a shop here."

"Really? But we country folks are honest, we can't take shortcuts."

Cao Fang frowned, these words sounded so harsh, she was about to put on a miserable face and ask Qiu Guisheng to speak for her, when another man came rushing into the shop.

"Zhao Qian, send some barbecue to the yard tonight." The person who came was the handyman in the Goulan yard. He squeezed over from the side of the sedan chair and couldn't help but grunt: "Which big family stopped the sedan chair?" On the street."

After confessing to Zhao Qian, he glanced into the shop and smiled, "Yo, Fang Xian'er is here too!"

As soon as the words fell, Cao Fang cast a vicious look, and the handyman quickly slapped himself twice: "Look, I said something stupid, and now I am the third aunt." He is not afraid of Cao Fang, but taboo Qiu Guisheng on the side quickly said: "Boss Qiu, don't take offense, I'm just stupid."

Qiu Fusheng raised his eyelids, as a frequent visitor to Goulan Yard, he recognized the handyman inside, and reprimanded with a smile: "It really should be beaten."

The handyman slapped his mouth a few more times in a decent manner, and then said with a chuckle: "Boss Qiu, don't get angry with us little bastards."

"What's the matter, the girls in your yard also like to eat here?"

"Isn't that right, I'm being urged to run here every day, I'm almost turning from a handyman to an errand runner."

While the handyman was chatting with Qiu Guisheng, Brother Zhou and Zhao Qian looked at Cao Fang meaningfully several times. From the handyman's words, they heard that Cao Fang seemed to have stayed in the Goulan courtyard before.

Brother Zhou thought that he went to the yard yesterday, and the scene inside was unsightly. Unexpectedly, Cao Fang had stayed in it, so his eyes changed a little.

Cao Fang was keenly aware of the changes in Zhao Qian and Zhou Ge'er after being told by the handyman that they had exposed their mouths. It seemed as if they were about to break through her gorgeous clothes and be admired by everyone. She took Qiu Guisheng's hand: " Master, I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go back."

"What's the matter?" Qiu Guisheng asked.

"Let's go!"

"Oh, really, it's up to you." Qiu Guisheng stood up, and dropped a bank note on Zhao Qian's table: "Think about it carefully."

Zhao Qian glanced at the bank note, but it was only a ten tael bank note, and he really dismissed him as a countryman: "Brother Zhou, give Boss Qiu some change."

Brother Zhou promptly calculated the money and handed it back to Qiu Guisheng, which was very obvious.

"Hmph! I don't know what is good." Qiu Guisheng snorted coldly, grabbed the money, and threw it to the handyman beside him: "It's a reward for you."

The handyman looked at a loss, and then he reacted happily: "Boss Qiu, go slowly!"

After the sedan chair walked away from the alley, the handyman sat down, put the money away, and said to Zhao Qian, "How did you offend Boss Qiu?"

Zhao Qian also sat down: "He wants me to be his cook."

"Being a cook?" The handyman sighed softly: "Boss Qiu is really generous, but your shop business is so good, there is only one in the market, if it were me, I wouldn't do it."

"But Boss Qiu is not easy to mess with. He is a well-known big family in our market. You have to be careful now."

Zhao Qian pondered for a while. It would be strange if this situation did not offend anyone. He thought for a while and asked, "Then is there his deadly enemy in the market?"

"Why are you asking this?"

Zhao Qian made a few skewers of barbecue and brought them to the handyman, who quickly took them and immediately changed his tone: "Actually, it's okay to tell you, anyway, we honest people like us can't be flattered."

He lowered his voice and said: "Boss Qiu apparently runs a jewelry shop, but he also has a gambling house in private. His deadly enemy is another owner of a gambling shop in our market, named Di Guangzu. The two of them In the early years, I fought to the death."

"Let me tell you, don't mess with Boss Di. He has a hot temper, but he's not as easy to talk to as Boss Qiu."

Zhao Qian frowned, she had some ideas in her mind.
