Chapter 505

To tell the truth, Erfu was angry when he spoke, and he never thought of doing this, but after listening to Bai Jiao, who was sitting on the side, her eyes lit up, she gave a thumbs up, and echoed with approval: "It's still the master's cleverness, this is a good idea, and just let Master Gu advance a few months' monthly money to solve these problems!"

"Do you think this idea works?" said Erph, staring at a pair of almond eyes, with some surprise.

Bai Jiao pulled a delicate gilt abacus and said with a smile: "Of course."

Master Gu's fixed monthly money is five taels, plus the commission money for the production of goldware, there is a small ten taels per month, and even if the monthly money is sixty taels for half a year, the master will reward him with another fifty taels, and it is almost enough to buy a good dowry. ”

"Okay, let's do it.

But I estimate that even if you don't bring this up, Master Gu will be able to come to you in a few days, after all, even I can come up with a method, Geng can come up with it, don't embarrass them when the time comes, just give them the silver ticket. Erfu nodded slightly, pondered what Bai Jiao said, and said with a smile.

After finishing the business, Erfu poured bitter water with Bai Jiao again, complained about the unobtrusive rumors in the lower house, and then beckoned Yaoqin and Xiaowen, who were guarding the door outside, and asked Yaoqin to go to the teahouse to greet Zhao Dezhu and them, and then led a string of small buns, and Shi Shiran walked out of the dazzling color workshop.

As soon as she reached the door, Erph pricked up her eyes in anger.

On the corner of the street, on a fat and strong, black-headed horse, the fourth master was wearing a brocade robe with dark blue auspicious dark patterns, and a melon skin hat inlaid with rubies. is holding a girl who can't see clearly, but has a bewitching figure. I don't know what I'm talking about.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Yaoqin, who was lowering her head and playing the curtain. Seeing that Erfu didn't move for a long time, he got up and asked a little strangely.

Hearing this, Erfu sorted out the sea of vinegar churning in his heart, squeezed out a somewhat reluctant smile, raised his hand and stroked the gilded step on his sideburns, and said softly: "It's nothing, as soon as I came out of the shop coldly, the sunshine was really a little dazzling."

Well, it's getting late. Let's go straight to Baiweiju. After speaking, Xiao Qi, who was about to say something, hurriedly walked towards the sedan chair, and slipped into the sedan chair like an escape, urging him to go quickly.

"Eniang, that's Amma, right?" Sitting in the sedan chair, Xiao Qi looked at Erfu's miserable little face, raised his hand and pulled Erfu's sleeve, and asked in a low voice.

Erfu really didn't want these messy things to pollute Xiao Qi's young and pure heart, but she didn't want to deceive Xiao Qi. With a wry smile, he glanced at the uneasy Xiao Qi, raised his hand and touched her head, and said softly, "You saw it?"

"Hmm. Xiao Qi made a bitter face and nodded.

"It is estimated that there will be new people in this house again. Is Xiao Qi worried about Eniang?" Erfu looked at the heavier and heavier water in Xiao Qi's eyes, and his heart warmed, revealing a loving smile. Asked softly.

Xiao Qi noticed that Erfu's mood had eased a little, and he hugged Erfu's waist in a small way. The little face with the big slap was close to the crook of Erfu's arm, and he said in a muffled voice: "Eniang is sad!"

"I've known for a long time that there will be a steady stream of women around you, Amma. E-Niang won't be sad about these things, it's just that she thinks that a person as old-fashioned as you Ama will actually ride a horse with a woman, and it's a little uncomfortable!" Erfu didn't want Xiao Qicai to worry about her when she was so old, so she suppressed the sourness in her heart, pretending to lift the sedan curtain easily, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and said with a smile that the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Erfu, who has always been not very good at lying, did not deceive Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi tilted his head, looked at Eniang who had wandering eyes, smiled lightly, and showed a shallow pear vortex at the corner of his mouth, holding Erfu's arm very affectionately, and said in a childish voice: "Eniang, you have me and my brother and sister." ”

Erfu smiled and rubbed Xiao Qi's hair, leaned over and dropped a kiss on her forehead, and whispered with relief in her tone: "That's right, Eniang has Xiao Qi's pistachio with her, which is better than anything else!"

After speaking, he pointed to the sedan curtain, signaling that there were still people following Xiao Qi outside, and it was not good to talk about these topics again, so he transferred the signature dishes of Baiwei Curie - fried sea cucumber with green onions, bad fish fillet, hibiscus dried scallops, dragon liver and phoenix eyes and other famous dishes, Xiao Qi's mouth flowed, and he put aside all the troubles in his head.

Looking at Xiao Qi looking at the scenery outside the sedan chair expectantly, Erfu slowly exhaled a turbid breath, shook his head, and said secretly: After all, she is still a child, and only a few bites of food coaxed her to be happy, and sure enough, people are not easy to be happy the more they grow up, and remember that when she was a child, as long as she could have a lollipop to eat, she would be happy all day.

Which Cheng thinks about it now, she clearly knows that there will be more and more women around the fourth master, and she has always persuaded herself not to care about these, after all, men in this era are three wives and four concubines, and there is no ideal life of one life and one couple at all, how can she still see that there are women around the fourth master, she is so sad!

Forget it, forget it, get by......

Why ruin your mood for these things, and finally be able to go out with a few children!

Reluctantly let herself leave the fourth master and the inexplicable woman's figure behind, Erfu reached out to wipe the dust on Xiao Qi's face, and smoothed the hair next to Xiao Qi's windblown cheeks with his hand, smiled and grabbed her little shoulder, pointed to the shop that flashed outside the sedan chair, and said that she heard the legends of various time-honored brands from Bai Jiao, Yuqing and others, but it made Yaoqin, who had been worried outside the sedan chair, completely relieved.

Actually, Yaoqin was pretending to be stupid before.

Although she was leaning over to lift the sedan curtain, but her afterglow had been paying attention to the movement of Erfu's side, when she found that Erfu's face was stiff, she had already looked up, just to see her master for the woman who was riding a fast horse with him to lift the broken hair in her ear, how could she not know that Erfu saw the fourth master, will reveal that sad face that is more sad than death!

But as a servant, her most important accusation is to take care of her master, which not only includes taking care of her master's daily life. She had to take care of her master's face, she was afraid that her master would not be able to suppress the anger in her heart. Directly let the guards carry the sedan chair to chase after him, and directly on the street, he tore his face with the master.

Fortunately. There are little masters around their own masters......

Unlike Xiaowen, who was checking out at the counter and didn't know what had happened before, Yaoqin had been listening to the movement in the sedan chair and listening to the conversation between Xiao Qi and Erfu after she found out that Erfu showed that sad look, and her heart was also sour.

It's hard for his own master to be such a straight person who will wronged himself and talk to the little master with a smile, in the end, the master feels sorry for the child, and he doesn't want the little master to worry about it.

Just when Yaoqin was so wandering in the world, the sedan chair slowly stopped at the door of Baiweiju, and the two young men with white handkerchiefs on their shoulders who greeted the guests at the door were busy smiling and greeting them. Only then did Yaoqin reflect and said softly, "Master, it's here." ”

"Yes. Erfu answered gently, adjusted her posture slightly, and raised her hand to tidy up the gown and long skirt on Xiao Qi's body, which allowed Yaoqin to open the curtain and lean out and walk out of the sedan chair.

The first-class floor-to-ceiling glass windows clearly present everything in the shop in front of Erfu's eyes, and the wooden square tables with a modern style. Arranged irregularly around the small stage facing the doorway, a man in a muslin robe was holding a striking wood in one hand and resting it on the edge of the table with the other. Speaking with high spirits, the diners are either listening intently or whispering and laughing. Or busy adding the delicacies on the table to their stomachs, a dozen young men in uniform clothes. Holding the tray in his hand, he worked hard like a bee. It's very lively.

"Look at the popularity, let's go in!" Erfu smiled and admired, turned his head to Yaoqin and said, after speaking, let the young man lead the way and walk towards Baiwei Juli.

The shopkeeper standing behind the counter was also a discerning person, although he didn't know Erf, but he didn't look down on her because of Erfu's plain and light clothes, and hurriedly walked around from behind the counter, and arched his hand to Erfu, humbly but not flatteringly, and said with a smile: "Madam, you are auspicious, I don't know if you want to be sharpened, or live in the hotel?"

"Shopkeeper, you're welcome.

We are all from Beijing, and we have long heard that the dishes of this Baiweiju are good, and I have always wanted to try them, but it is rare that the weather is good today, so I brought a few children over. Erfu smiled and picked up a few small buns standing beside him, bowed to the shopkeeper's chin, and said softly.

"Then madam, please go upstairs, there is a private room upstairs!" the shopkeeper smiled and raised his hand, beckoned a young man to go upstairs to prepare, turned his head to Erfu, and said respectfully, after speaking, he bowed slightly, led the way in front, and led Erfu and his party upstairs.

In addition to a large dining table, there is also a delicate carved Arhat bed on the window, which is convenient for guests to sit aside and drink tea and other people, and it is also convenient for guests to enjoy the singing and dancing downstairs after eating and resting, or the show.

The private room of the shopkeeper, who led Erfulai, was facing the direction of the stage, and through the delicate bamboo curtain of falling tassels, the voice of the man downstairs telling the story was clearly heard, and the hustle and bustle of the diners downstairs was cut off, and it was very exquisitely designed.

"Shopkeeper, don't be busy, bring us all the signature dishes, and then open a table for my entourage on the side. Erfu looked at Zhao Dezhu's appearance of wanting to speak, and said loudly to the shopkeeper next to him with a smile.

After speaking, he asked Yaoqin to give a reward to the young man and the shopkeeper who were putting dried fruits on the table, and then he lifted the skirt slightly with one hand, pulled Xiao Qi with the other, and greeted Hongxuan, Fangfang, and Yuanyuan in his mouth, and walked towards the Luohan bed by the window.

The shopkeeper's eyesight is good, looking at the demeanor of Yaoqin who was waiting with Erfu, he was secretly surprised by Erfu's identity, and as soon as he went out, he was busy telling the young man to serve carefully, and ran to the back kitchen again, telling the chef in charge, and then returned to the back of the counter and continued to sort out the errand at hand.

The big shopkeeper before let people pass the news that this Baiweiju is going to open a branch store in Dongcheng, and in terms of manpower, I am afraid that he will have to allocate a group of people in the past, and then his manpower will be a little insufficient, so he must think about it carefully, so as not to make the manpower uneven and offend the distinguished customers who come to the store.

"Shopkeeper, another distinguished guest is coming!" Before he could demarcate the personnel to be divided, the young man who was in charge of greeting the guests at the door hurriedly ran in and said urgently.

"What kind of distinguished guest?" the shopkeeper looked up with a smile, but only saw the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but ask in a bad tone.

The young man hurriedly raised his hand and pointed to the direction of the stairs behind the screen, and replied in a low voice: "The guest has gone upstairs, you see the shopkeeper, do you want to go up and say hello?"

The shopkeeper had to put the account books back into the secret compartment under the counter and lock them again, dusted off his robe a little depressed, and asked with doubts: "What kind of guest, why are you in such a hurry!"

"Two guests, a man and a woman.

The little one saw that the man's braid was still decorated with red tassels, and he came on horseback, he was afraid that he was a big man, and the woman was wearing a banner man's hair bun. The young man was worried that the shopkeeper was in a bad mood, and he would show some bad face when he went up, so he hurriedly reminded in a low voice.

But he didn't want to, as soon as his voice fell, the shopkeeper who had already walked to the stairs took his legs back, and walked towards the counter without looking back, the young man scratched his head in confusion, hurriedly chased after him, and asked in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, why don't you go?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he raised his hand on the little man's head, knocked it lightly and heavily, and said in a deep voice with great anger: "Since it is a man and a woman, I am afraid that I don't want anyone to go up to disturb me, so let's not go up and make people suspicious."

When you go up to deliver food later, you should also be careful not to disturb people's good deeds. After speaking, the shopkeeper restrained the seriousness on his face, showed a somewhat obscene smile, and made a strange expression of "can only be understood but not spoken" to the young man, then lowered his head and took out the account book and other guys who had just been locked, and continued to think about the transfer of manpower.

The young man was a novice, but he was not a fool, and he soon understood the meaning of the shopkeeper's words, and nodded with a lewd smile, then carried a pot of good Longjing tea, shook the towel board, and went up to the private room on the second floor to serve the distinguished guests.

On the other side, Erfu didn't wait for the young man to add a table at the door without waiting for the young man to put all the dishes, and ordered a few special dishes, so that Yaoqin and Xiaowen didn't have to wait in front of them, and sat down to eat, "Don't talk about those useless things, when you are in the house, I rarely let you serve at the table, let alone outside!"

Alright, alright, after eating, we have to go to Dashilar for a walk!

If anyone delays the work, don't blame me for leaving you here!" After speaking, Erfu raised his little fist as if threatening, took Xiao Qi, beckoned Hongxuan and other little buns, and came to the table to sit down.
