Upon hearing what Shopkeeper Tian said, Blacksmith Wang was quite emotional: "Who says it's not the case? This young man from the palace is really rare."
Speaking of this, Blacksmith Wang touched the back of his head and said with regret: "It's a pity that I only have that little son. If I want to have a daughter, I must marry her to Brother Gong.
I will hold on to this son-in-law."
When Gong Jian heard what Shopkeeper Tian said, he instinctively felt that it was just an excuse. Only a simple and crude person like Blacksmith Wang could be easily fooled by Shopkeeper Tian.
But after hearing Blacksmith Wang's words, Gong Jian felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly lowered his head to eat the food, pretending not to hear Blacksmith Wang's words, but the red tips of his ears exposed his mood at this time. Gong Jian was
Unexpectedly, he suddenly mentioned his personal affairs.
Shopkeeper Tian also saw Gong Jian's performance. He glanced at Blacksmith Wang and said, "Just you? If you have a daughter, who would dare to marry your daughter?"
Blacksmith Wang glared, "What would happen if I had a daughter? How come no one dares to marry my daughter?"
Shopkeeper Tian over there took a slow sip of wine and then said: "If you have a daughter, who looks like you, who do you think would dare to marry your daughter?"
Zhang Tiejiang obviously wanted to say, so what if he looks like me! But he got stuck halfway through the sentence. He imagined in his mind that if there was a girl who looked like his own daughter, he trembled all over and felt evil.
Han. Well, I guess no one would dare to marry such a daughter.
Gong Jian was drinking wine and eating hot pot comfortably over there. He didn't pay much attention to it. The two old friends were joking with each other, mainly because this topic accidentally caused him to get angry. He had better eat and drink by himself.
For the Lord.
But for some reason, Gong Jian always felt that Shopkeeper Tian had not finished what he said. Although he seemed to be back to his original self of bickering and joking with Blacksmith Wang, overall, he was tainted with a hint of sadness.
Gong Jian thought about it. Shopkeeper Tian didn't seem to have a family. Could it be that he was also a man with a story? And just now, he didn't know which scene touched the string in his heart. Even if he tried his best to cover it up, he couldn't completely restrain it.
A piece of sadness.
This was definitely not a topic that a junior should touch upon. Gong Jian hurriedly picked up the wine glass and toasted the two seniors. He changed the topic to other things. The three of them started eating and drinking lively again.
This lunch lasted for more than an hour, and all three of them were extremely satisfied. Shopkeeper Tian even drank a little too much, so Gong Jian said goodbye to Blacksmith Wang and supported Shopkeeper Tian as he walked slowly towards Tianji Grocery Store.
.
Of course, Gong Jian was still holding a hot pot in his hand. It took a lot of effort for him to get Blacksmith Wang to accept the money for the hot pot. But it was all worth it, and he was extremely happy.
After returning to the grocery store, Gong Jian hurriedly asked the boy to make a cup of strong tea for Shopkeeper Tian to relieve his hangover. After seeing that he was feeling better, Gong Jian finally mentioned the purpose of his visit today.
"Uncle Tian, why are you so anxious to see me these days? Is it because there is something wrong with the hot pot restaurant?"
Shopkeeper Tian also woke up at this time. He gathered his thoughts and then said: "The reason why I came to you in a hurry is mainly because of two things. The first one is, of course, to tell you that the Beijing hotpot restaurant is currently operating
situation. This is the second thing."
Having said this, Shopkeeper Tian stood up, turned around, and took out a baggage from the cabinet. He walked back to the chair next to the palace fitness room and sat down. He opened the baggage on the table and motioned for him to look at the contents of the baggage.
There is a thin account book in the baggage, with several pieces of paper pressed under the account book.
Gong Jian looked at the account book, but he did not reach out to take it. He just looked at Shopkeeper Tian in confusion.
Shopkeeper Tian smiled. He reached out and picked up the account, opened it, and handed it to Gong Jian: "This is the accounts of the hot pot restaurant for the past ten days. When the general manager asked the accountant to do the accounts of the hot pot restaurant, he copied a copy for you.
He sent this here in a hurry, please take a look. By the way, there is also this one, which is also for you."
After saying that, Shopkeeper Tian picked up the pieces of paper that were originally pressed underneath. When he took the pieces of paper in his hands, Gong Jian discovered that those pieces of paper were not ordinary pieces of paper, but had different denominations.
several banknotes.
Gong Jian was not in a hurry to get the banknote. He took the account and looked through it carefully. He remembered the account very clearly. The hot pot restaurant has made considerable profits these days. In fact, it far exceeded Gong Jian's expectations. It seems that there is something in the capital.
There are so many rich people.
In addition to being fresh and novel, hot pot can also meet the needs of all walks of life. There are a wide variety of dishes, so both luxurious people and thrifty customers can find their favorites.
The level of wealth in the capital city must be beyond the imagination of Gong Jian, a poor boy from a remote rural area. When he saw the accounts, he already knew that Tianji Restaurant had really made a lot of money this time. In just ten days, the hot pot restaurant
The profits were already astonishing to him.
Gong Jian slowly closed the account book and looked at the few banknotes handed over by shopkeeper Tian. What he didn't expect was that the manager would send his share of the profits so quickly.
Shopkeeper Tian watched Gong Jian generously take the banknote in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction. When the young man saw the huge profit in the account book, he did not show a trace of greed. He took it away generously.
to get his share of the profits.
Shopkeeper Tian now looks at Gong Jian and feels more and more satisfied. He has never seen such an outstanding young man in his life. He doesn't know how his family educated him to be such an outstanding person.
Shopkeeper Tian couldn't help but get excited when he thought about the idea that had made his heart beat before. If he hadn't gone back to his old house, he wouldn't have thought of such a good idea.
He looked at Gong Jian with a bit more eager eyes. If his idea could come true, then he would be worthy of the cultivation and trust of his old family master.
Over there, Gong Jian had put the banknotes safely in his arms. He had just read the accounts and already knew the profit that had been allocated to him. In just ten days, his wallet had increased by another
Thousand taels of silver wealth.
At this time, he was extremely happy. He was not as carefree as he appeared on the surface. You must know that when he bought a house and private property in the county, he had already spent almost all his money, and this time
The large sum of silver in his account was a timely blessing for him.
So while he was thinking carefully, he didn't notice the overly enthusiastic look that Shopkeeper Tian was looking at him. (To be continued)
