Blacksmith Wang put the small wine jar that he had been holding in his arms on the table, and said mysteriously to Gong Jian: "I have kept this jar of wine secretly for many years. Even Lao Tian doesn't know about it. We both want it today.
If you don't get drunk, you won't come back. Once you get drunk, you will rest."
Gong Jian looked at the jar of wine and was moved. At the same time, he was not afraid of Blacksmith Wang's rhetoric. Since he became familiar with the Hotan shopkeeper, he often drank with him.
From the first time he drank, Gong Jian discovered that his body's tolerance to alcohol was really high. Every time Shopkeeper Tian felt dizzy, face red, and tipsy, Gong Jian was completely
There is no feeling.
Therefore, when it comes to drinking, Gong Jian is really not afraid. It's just that he doesn't understand why Blacksmith Wang is so enthusiastic about him this time. Even shopkeeper Tian is reluctant to bring out the good wine when he comes, and he also brings out the good wine to entertain him.
Although Gong Jian felt strange in his heart, after all, he had only met Blacksmith Wang for the third time. No matter how he thought about it, he didn't feel that he and Blacksmith Wang had any particularly deep friendship.
It's not quite right to say that it's because of Shopkeeper Tian, but Blacksmith Wang said that Shopkeeper Tan Jiu Tian didn't know.
But he couldn't ask directly, so he asked Blacksmith Wang another question: "Then I'm in a good mood today. I just don't know yet, what do you want from me, Master Wang?"
Blacksmith Wang saw that his two apprentices were still busy, carrying dishes up. It seemed that it would take some time to prepare this sumptuous hot pot meal.
So, he pulled Gong Jian and sat down on the chair next to him. After pouring Gong Jian a cup of tea, he slowly said: "It doesn't matter. I just want to thank Brother Gong."
.”
Gong Jian was even more confused when he heard what he said. He has been running around at home and in the county these days and has not done anything at all. He needs Blacksmith Wang to thank him. This time Gong Jian did not hide it.
He looked at Blacksmith Wang in confusion, hoping that he could explain it clearly to him.
Blacksmith Wang saw the look in his eyes and knew that his words were not clear, so he continued: "Don't you want to thank Brother Gong? You introduced me to a good business."
Speaking of good business, Gong Jian thought for a while and then tried to speak: "When Master Wang talks about good business, does he mean making hot pots?"
Blacksmith Wang slapped his thigh and immediately replied: "Hey, by the way, it's just hot pot."
Gong Jian understood a little, and when he contacted Blacksmith Wang and asked him to leave, he took hot pot home with him. He asked: "That was after I went back last time. The chief steward ordered a lot from Master Wang."
Hot pot?”
"That's right!" Before Gong Jian could finish speaking, Blacksmith Wang said, "Isn't it just thanks to my little brother? Tian Ji's general manager, all the hot pots made in our store after that day were priced at a high price.
Go buy it.”
Thinking of this, Blacksmith Wang's face glowed brightly and he said excitedly: "This time I will just make hot pots. I will earn more money from this business than I did in previous years."
Blacksmith Wang was very excited at this time, "Not only that, the general manager also signed an agreement with me, allowing us to continue to make hot pots and provide them to him. Although these hot pots made later will not be as high as the price at the beginning.
But the manager requires a lot. From now on, we can make a lot of money just by relying on this hot pot."
After saying that, Blacksmith Wang looked at Gong Jian with eyes full of gratitude to him.
Gong Jian now understood that Blacksmith Wang had made a lot of money because of this time, so he always wanted to find an opportunity to thank himself.
He hurriedly declined and said: "Master Wang, you can't thank me for this. The main reason why I received this business is because of your good craftsmanship. At that time, if you hadn't accepted my order and were willing to make hot pot for me, and
How could there be anything after that? So, if you want to thank me, you should be thanking yourself."
When Blacksmith Wang heard what Gong Jian said, he hurriedly waved his hands: "You can't say that. If it weren't for Brother Gong's plan, I wouldn't have such a good business. Come on, today, I will do my best.
Thank you very much for the banquet, Mr. Gong."
When Gong Jian saw what he had said, he stopped refusing. It could be seen from Blacksmith Wang's attitude that he really made a lot of money this time. So eating him a meal by himself would make him feel more at ease.
In his heart, he really didn't feel that he was helping Blacksmith Wang. On the contrary, Gong Jian felt that Blacksmith Wang was just his noble person. Without him, his hot pot wouldn't be able to interview so early.
Besides, who knows if something new will pop up in my strange brain in the future, and I will need help from a blacksmith. If I can establish a good relationship with Blacksmith Wang, it will also provide convenience in the future.
When Blacksmith Wang saw that his two apprentices had placed a table full of dishes, he called Gong Jian to get up and walk to the dining table: "Come on, Brother Gong, we are going to get drunk today."
But before he could finish his words, a familiar voice suddenly jumped in: "Okay, you two went behind my back, eating and drinking, and you actually got drunk."
Gong Jian and Blacksmith Wang were startled at the same time, but the voice was familiar to both of them. Sure enough, when they turned around, they saw Shopkeeper Tian standing at the door with a smile, and he was about to step into the door.
Everyone is acquaintances, and Blacksmith Wang's two apprentices also know the relationship between Shopkeeper Tian and their master, so when they saw Shopkeeper Tian walking in, they did not stop them at all. Especially when they heard Shopkeeper Tian's words
, both of them stood outside, looking at shopkeeper Tian happily, waiting for him to go find his master to settle accounts.
Here, Blacksmith Wang and Gong Jian were both overjoyed to see Shopkeeper Tian. One of them was a good friend for many years. Although they said that they were opening a jar of good wine behind his back today, which they did a little unethically, they saw that their friend actually did the same.
When we came over, Blacksmith Wang was still very happy.
As for Gong Jian, he was even happier. He came here just to find Shopkeeper Tian. Before, he was still depressed about how he missed the time when Shopkeeper Tian was in the store. Now he saw Shopkeeper Tian rushing to the store.
After coming over, he felt relieved. Now he could eat slowly first. After he was full of wine and food, he could slowly ask shopkeeper Tian to find out his reasons.
The main reason why Gong Jian is not anxious anymore is because he can see that Shopkeeper Tian has a rosy complexion and relaxed eyes. He does not look worried about anything at all. In other words, although Shopkeeper Tian is anxious to find him these two days, it should not be anything.
