Chapter 1223： with emotion

Chapter 1223 Feelings

The clouds are rising like smoke, and the rain is like loose threads.

Because of the continuous rain, there were few pedestrians on the main road in the county town, and many shops on both sides of the street were closed. Even the shops that were open were deserted. At this time, the vast majority of people are wives and children on the kang, and they are cats at home.

Suddenly, a group of seven people appeared on the street, which excited the shopkeepers and shop assistants who were in business.

There was no one on the street for more than half an hour, and now seven people suddenly appeared, how could they not be excited.

"Guest officer, guest officer, please let me go inside."

The guy who had been doing nothing for a long time, stood excitedly at the door of the restaurant and shouted enthusiastically.

It doesn't matter whether pedestrians come to the store or not, the important thing is that you don't want to take the blame. The provincial shopkeeper will blame the bad business on himself.

God has been raining for five consecutive days. The young and old are all at home, and no one is going out. Naturally, the business in the store is not good. It's because God doesn't reward the food, so what does it have to do with me, the shopkeeper also wants to blame me, I just sat for a while, and the shopkeeper gave me several supercilious looks.

So, seeing pedestrians on the street from a distance, there were still a group of seven people, the shop assistant hurriedly came out to show.

What excited the store clerk was that the seven passers-by really rushed to their store after he yelled.

"Guests, please come inside. It's raining outside. Come into the shop to take shelter from the rain and rest your feet." The shop assistant greeted excitedly.

After walking in, the store clerk saw clearly that the leader was a young man wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, and nodded to himself with a smile.

The boy walked into the shop, took off his bamboo hat, smiled slightly, and said to the waiter in the shop, "Brother, do you have any pancakes in the shop? If so, give us 30 pancakes and wrap them in waterproof oil paper. Oh , By the way, if there are lumps of pickled vegetables, give me half a catty, shred them, and wrap them in oiled paper."

Da Ming’s pancakes are full of ingredients. Thirty pancakes are enough for two meals for seven people. Half a catty of shredded pickled vegetables is enough to serve with pancakes.

"Yes, yes, yes. Sir, please sit down, pancakes and shredded pickled vegetables will be delivered later." The shop assistant responded repeatedly.

When the store clerk went to the back kitchen to spread the word to prepare pancakes and shredded pickled vegetables, he felt that this group of guests was strange. They actually wanted thirty pancakes and pickled vegetables, as if they were going on a long trip.

It's raining outside now, and you have to go out? !

The store clerk couldn't help shaking his head.

Because there was not much business in the restaurant, the back kitchen made pancakes very quickly. A group of seven people waited for a cup of tea, and pancakes and shredded pickled vegetables were ready. According to the boy's instructions, it was wrapped in oiled paper.

"A piece of pancake is three yuan, half a catty of pickled vegetables is ten yuan, and sincerity is one hundred yuan. Because the customer asked for a lot of cakes, we gave the customer two extra pancakes in the store." The shop assistant handed the pancakes and pickled vegetables Gave it to the boy.

"Thank you." The boy smiled and cupped his hands, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the shop assistant.

"Thank you, guest officer. Come back after eating, guest officer."

A deal was made, and the store clerk smiled like a flower, so now you don't have to worry about being stared at by the shopkeeper again.

Thinking so, the shop assistant glanced at the shopkeeper quietly, and was surprised to find that the shopkeeper was looking at him straightly, his eyes were so excited that he finally saw something to eat after three days of hunger, his eyes were about to protrude Out.

Isn’t it just a penny, why do you see money eyes open like this? This money-greedy Zhou Paipi!

The shop assistant was instantly speechless to the shopkeeper.

The next second, I saw the shopkeeper who hadn't moved from the nest for a long time, ran out from the counter with an agility that didn't match his obese body, and ran straight towards him, with an excited expression on his face.

Isn't it? ! The shopkeeper is also true, can I still be greedy for this money? !

The shop assistant was even more speechless.

In the next second, the store clerk was astonished to find that the shopkeeper ran past him without even looking at himself or the broken silver in his hand, and trotted all the way to stop in front of the young guest officer.

"Xian Zun, are you the county zun?" The shopkeeper asked excitedly. When the young man just entered the door, he glanced at him and didn't pay much attention. Zang, it doesn't matter at first glance, he was surprised to find out how this young guest officer looks like a county official, the more he looks, the more he looks like him.

Looking at the six people behind him again, I recognized one of them at a glance. Isn't that the head catcher Liu Dadao? It was immediately confirmed that the young man was the county magistrate. The county magistrate came to my store to buy pancakes, how can the shopkeeper not be excited.

What? County respect? !

The shop clerk opened his mouth wide in surprise, and turned to look at the young guest officer who had already walked to the door.

After being recognized, Zhu Pingan did not deny it, and smiled slightly and bowed to the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

"You money-grubbing idiot, you even take money from the county magistrate."

The shopkeeper turned his head and scolded the shop assistant, grabbed the broken silver with one hand, and wanted to return it to Zhu Pingan.

The shopkeeper who is so greedy for money that he can't wait to take all the rice grains that pass by the ants will not accept money? ! Is this still that week's skinning? !

The store clerk opened his mouth in surprise, as if he didn't recognize the shopkeeper.

"Hehe, is it okay for the shopkeeper to offer bribes in public?" Zhu Pingan refused to accept it, and joked with a smile.

"Honorable County, you saved all the people in Jingnan from the Japanese pirates, and pleaded for our people to reduce or exempt taxes. This is my heart."

The treasurer explained.

"I'm just performing my duties." Zhu Pingan shook his head, insisting that he would not accept it.

The shopkeeper tried several times, but finally failed, so he had no choice but to collect the money.

"Master Xian, it's still raining outside, are you going on a long trip?" the shopkeeper asked curiously.

"It has been raining continuously for the past few days, and the amount of rainfall has not been small. My son is worried about the hidden danger of waterlogging, so he took us to investigate the rivers and reservoirs in various towns and towns below to investigate hidden dangers." Liu Dadao replied for Zhu Ping'an.

When Zhu Ping'an and his party disappeared in the wind and rain, the shopkeeper stood at the door and expressed emotion to the store clerk, "See, this is our county magistrate. Let you come to the store, the wind can't blow, the rain can't get drenched, how wonderful, you still Grinding and chirping. Look at our county magistrate, what a precious man, he brought pancakes and pickled vegetables, and went outside in the rain to survey rivers and reservoirs, check hidden dangers, what a pain."

The store clerk has been scolded by the shopkeeper too many times, this is the first time he has been scolded without any complaints in his heart.

Yeah, it’s raining like silk outside, and the county magistrate brought pancakes and pickles to the wilderness to investigate the water regime in the rain, so what right do I have to complain.
