After Zhang was picked up by Song Jingang, a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Old man Song officially became the shopkeeper of Zhang's Dim Sum Workshop, and came to the account office on time a few minutes before the store closed every day to withdraw the day's operating profits.

The original account office was also dismissed by him, and he himself served as the account office and was in charge of finances.

In this way, it will be more convenient for him to fish for oil and water.

He originally wanted to fire Xing'er and Huan'er together, but later found out that the two of them were indispensable in the store, so he kept them, but the clerk's salary was reduced to less than half.

Gradually, the clerks began to complain and cut corners in their work, and the quality of the dim sum products in the dim sum shop dropped sharply, and the number of customer complaints increased, and the turnover became less and less.

Gradually, the clerks began to complain and cut corners in their work, and the quality of the dim sum products in the dim sum shop dropped sharply, and the number of customer complaints increased, and the turnover became less and less.

Old man Song scolded these people every day for not working hard, dismissed several skilled hands that the Zhang family had worked hard to train, and casually recruited a few people with cheaper wages to come in, and as a result, the quality of dim sum in the dim sum workshop became worse and worse.

Zhen Mingku hadn't been to the store for a long time, and the Ordnance Division, which ate and lived in the General Youtun Guard's Mansion every day, seemed to have forgotten that the Zhang family was taken away.

He asked Huan'er and Xing'er not to worry about Old Man Song, lest Old Man Song go home and find trouble with Zhang's family, so Xing'er restrained herself from bumping into Old Man Song.

The two wanted to resign and quit, but Zhen Mingbitter made them endure for a while, saying that this was Zhang's shop, and Zhang's would have to rely on it to survive when he came back in the future.

On this day, Huan'er found that Zhen Mingku was tinkering with a thin metal wire in a smelting room in the Ordnance Division.

The clothes on his body were the same ones he had worn a few days ago, and they were so dirty that they were almost shiny.

Huan'er placed the basket containing the hot food beside him, and the smell of stinky tofu mixed with pickles emanated from him, she leaned close to her nose and sniffed it, making sure that it was from him, and couldn't help frowning and covering her nose.

"Brother Zhen, you haven't taken a bath for a few days?"

Zhen Ming raised his head and grinned when he heard this: "Forgot ...... What's wrong? ”

Only then did Huan'er see his appearance clearly, his face was full of scum, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was unkempt, and there were a lot of copper shavings on it.

"It stinks! Can't you smell it yourself! Huan'er covered her nose and retreated three or four meters away, and said angrily.

Zhen Mingku lowered his head and sniffed in his armpits, "No, there is no taste at all, is there something wrong with your nose?" ”

"You're the one who has the wrong nose!"

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Is it really so stinky?" You said I'm going to find your sister Zhang, can I carry her back after she is stunned? ”

Huan'er looked at him stunned for a while, then suddenly squatted on the ground and cried loudly.

Zhen Mingku's face was inexplicable, he pinched his fingers and suddenly said: "The day is here, and my mood is unstable." ”

Huan'er stood up when she heard this, turned around and left, Zhen Mingku shouted behind her: "Remember to eat more toffee, your mood will be much better." ”

"Stinky scoundrel! Don't talk to me again! Huan'er shouted, turned and ran away.

……

Zhen Ming looked at Huan'er's departing figure, with a wry smile on his face, and tied the brass wire he had pulled in his hand into a roll and put it aside.

There were already several bundles of these brass wires beside him.

He stood up, patted the dust on his body, took out the food brought by Huan'er, and feasted on it.

After eating, he turned around and went out the door, went to a bathhouse, took a bath, changed into clean clothes, hired a carriage, and said to the coachman: "The eldest grandson's clothing and jewelry store." ”

The carriage stopped at the door of the eldest grandson's clothing store, and Zhen Mingku got out of the car and entered the store.

There were a few ladies in the store who were choosing clothes and accessories, and the shopkeeper surnamed Gao was making calculations in front of the counter, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Zhen Mingku, and greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle Gao, it's been a long time."

Gao Shilian was pleasantly surprised: "What a rare guest, the old man went out today and met a magpie branch calling, guessing that there would be a distinguished guest, I didn't think it was Zhen Gongzi you, please come in!" ”

"Uncle Gao doesn't have to be so polite, just make my life miserable, is Miss Belle here?"

"Yes, yes."

Gao Shilian responded again and again, took him into the living room, asked his subordinates to make a cup of good tea, and asked him to call the eldest grandson Belle.

As soon as he sat down, Gao Shilian praised endlessly: "I heard Belle say, I didn't expect this salt gang to be unstoppable, and there was no way to take you, alone and broke into the well-prepared Luoyang City, this arrogance, I am afraid that even many hot-blooded men are unattainable, and now in such a short period of time to create such a famous dim sum shop in Luoyang, the old man knows that you are not an ordinary person, fortunately you are not a clothing store, otherwise the eldest grandson clothing store is afraid that it will close down." ”

"Uncle Gao looks up to the kid too much." Zhen Mingbitter smiled modestly.

Gao Shilian's eyes became brighter and brighter when he saw him, as if he was staring at a fat prey, and said a few words of appreciation, and suddenly asked inexplicably: "What do you think of our Belle?" ”

Zhen Ming was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Miss Belle has a blue heart, she is talented and beautiful, and she is naturally a first-class beauty in the world. ”

"How about the old man marrying her to you?"

Zhen Ming took a bitter sip of tea and almost didn't squirt out, but when the old man said this, an anxious and angry reprimand sounded at the door: "Uncle! ”

The eldest grandson Belle rushed in from outside the door in time, pulled Gao Shilian up, and pushed him to the door.

"This kid, I still have something to say to your bitter brother, why are you so ignorant!"

"You're not sensible, he's here to find me, what are you making a fuss about!" The eldest grandson, Belle, was so anxious that her face was slightly red, and she wanted to cover her uncle's mouth with her hand.

"I'll say a word to your bitter brother and leave."

"Not allowed!"

"Just one ......"

When the eldest grandson Belle pushed Old Man Gao out of the door, Old Man Gao still didn't give up, and winked hard at Zhen Ming: "We'll talk about it in detail another day......"

Bang -

The door closed, and the eldest grandson Belle leaned against the door angrily, her pretty face flushed, turned around, and threatened Zhen Mingku, who was smiling: "You are not allowed to meet my uncle alone again!" Hear me! ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Gao's kindness is difficult, and I can't refuse in person, I'll explain to him another day that Miss Belle doesn't have to worry, I see that Uncle Gao is also eager to marry a girl, so he is sick and rushed to the doctor, so even people like me can look at it." ”

The eldest grandson Belle glanced at him, "I didn't mean that, don't be so sensitive." ”

"Miss Belle doesn't need to explain, I understand."

The eldest grandson Belle breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What are you doing with me?" ”

"I'm here this time to ask Miss Belle for a favor."

……

In the Song Mansion in the west of Luoyang City, a carriage stopped at the door.

A pretty slave helped the eldest grandson Belle get out of the car, walked to the door of the Song Mansion, and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and a family member walked out, and when he saw the slim eldest grandson Belle, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and his originally impatient face became respectful, and asked, "Who is the girl looking for?" ”

"Is your lady here?"

"Are you looking for the eldest lady or the second lady?"

"The one with the surname Zhang."

"Oh, you said Second Madame, what's the matter? Master Song said that without his permission, the second lady could not meet guests casually. ”

The eldest grandson Belle was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is your master here?" ”

"No, I just went out, but our eldest lady is at home."

"You just tell your eldest lady that the eldest grandson Belle from the eldest grandson's clothing store came to her."

Will I tell you that this is a cool article that is bitter first and then sweet? Apparently not.
