North and South groceries

On the first night of Nanbei Grocery's opening, it was full of voices.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Luo Yong checked to see if it was going to work. There were too many people, so he had to find two disciples to stop at the entrance, let the customers behind line up, and wait for a group of people to come out from the exit. , put in another batch at the entrance.

"Fortunately, I listened to Master's words. If we followed our thinking, the store would have been emptied by now." A disciple stood on tiptoe and looked at the crowded scene in the store, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I've told you, listen to Master, you're right." Another disciple hummed.

That being said, in the past two or three days, Luo's posture of throwing money really surprised them. Let alone the money for buying milk, how much money would be spent in a day. Like a mountain stream on a rainy day, rushing out.

These disciples didn't have much money on them, so they couldn't support Luo Yong. Fortunately, Aunt Luo was straightforward and didn't ask too much. She gave whatever she wanted and bought whatever she wanted.

Lin Wulang was frightened by the attitude of the two siblings spending money, after much deliberation, he finally spoke to Aunt Luo: "If you don't, then persuade Sanlang to take it easy and don't be so anxious. What if we can’t get back the money in time.”

Aunt Luo said: "When Saburo promised you and me two hundred cash per month, he never worried about not being able to pay back the money. Later, he entrusted me to take care of such a large shop, and he never worried about not being able to get back the money. Why do you pay some money from me today, and you and I have to worry that he won't be able to pay back?"

Lin Wulang blushed immediately when he heard this, and said that he didn't care about Luo Yong, and he was not willing to spend money on him.

Aunt Luo doesn't blame him. People who have never spent a lot of money in their life will inevitably have some worries and uneasiness in their hearts when they see people spending so much money. She herself told Luo Yong earlier that he wanted to If it's safe.

"It's just some money, even if it's all lost, the sky won't fall down. Just relax, Saburo knows it well." Aunt Luo comforted Lin Wulang.

Since then, Lin Goro didn't say anything more, although he still felt a little uncomfortable, but he endured it by himself.

The Lin family has always been diligent and thrifty in managing their family. They don't make money quickly, and they are very cautious in spending money. In Lin Wulang's concept, the so-called family wealth is accumulated bit by bit in such a stable manner.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Wulang was helping Aunt Luo at Guangdefang. He heard that the business at Fenglefang was booming. There is a batch, just the cream cakes alone, I am afraid that thousands of them have been sold by now.

"Sanlang's mind and vision are really beyond the reach of ordinary people." Lin Wulang said to Aunt Luo at that time.

Aunt Luo smiled and said to him: "You just watch and learn, as time goes by, there will be some differences."

At Guangdefang, Aunt Luo and the others were also very busy that night, not to mention at Fenglefang, Luo Yong and his disciples were even more busy, just coming and going Replenishment can make people tired enough.

It's rare that there is no curfew during the Lantern Festival, and Luo Yong doesn't want to keep Si Niang and the others at home, but he doesn't have time to take them out to play.

It just so happened that Bai Yimao and others came over this afternoon, saying that they wanted to go out with Siniang and Wulang, and the two of them, Liulang and Qiniang, wanted to go too. Luo Yong was still a little worried at first, but Qiao Junlin later said that he would also go together Then Luo Yong agreed. Compared with Bai Yimao and others, Luo Yong was obviously more at ease with Qiao Junlin.

So this evening, the children of the Luo family happily went out to enjoy the lanterns in the Bai family's ox cart with pocket money given by their elder brother.

When the ox carts reached a crowded place, they couldn’t get away. A group of people got off the car and walked, squeezed into the crowd, looking at the rows of colorful lanterns, as well as the tall flower wheels and flowers. Trees and flower buildings, the children are dazzled by seeing them.

A group of people walked and wandered all the way, read all the novels, and guessed a lot of lantern riddles. They guessed two correctly, and got two small lanterns, which were carried by Liulang and Qiniang.

"Do you two want lanterns?" Bai Yimao asked Si Niang and Wu Lang.

"No." The siblings shook their heads together. The lantern looks pretty, but it's useless to buy it. The more beautiful lantern is also quite expensive, so it's better not to buy it.

"Once a year, it's also rare. Which one do you like, how about I buy it for you?" Bai Yimao smiled.

"No need." The siblings still shook their heads, the Bai family's money didn't come from a strong wind, so they didn't have anything to do with it to buy that.

Bai Yimao saw that the two of them were so persistent, so he didn't say any more, the group walked and watched, and when they were tired, they went to a small restaurant next to Zhuque Street, went in and ordered some hot tea and snacks, It's right next to the window on the second floor, enjoying the scenery while eating snacks.

The location of this restaurant is close to Suzaku Street, and it has two floors. It's a bit of a pity that it covered a little of the view, but on a day like tonight, the really good place to watch the lanterns is probably already full of people at the moment, and the servants of the Bai family found it hard for them. With such a position.

"Wow! It's so bright!" The children of the Luo family leaned against the window, looking at the countless lanterns on the street outside, feeling that they were more numerous and brighter than the stars in the sky.

"Stop blowing the wind, come over and have some hot tea." Qiao Junlin cooked several cups of hot tea and invited them to come over for tea.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather in Chang'an City is still relatively cold. Tonight, lanterns are lit everywhere, and it seems to be much warmer than usual. But the night wind blowing on his face is still a bit freezing. That kid Liu Lang was just so excited. , Sweating and blowing the wind, at this time a small snot has already begun to hang.

"Hey, isn't this Bai Dalang? What a coincidence." At this time, a group of young men and women came up on the second floor of the restaurant. It seems old acquaintance.

"Today there are no vacancies even here, and the shopkeeper said that they want to add another table to us. Look, it's full, where else can we add it?" A familiar person said at this time: "If we don't Make it convenient for Bai Dalang and the others to stay together."

"I hope Bai Dalang doesn't dislike him." Several young people smiled and bowed their hands to Bai Yimao.

"Why do you say you don't like it, please feel free." In such a situation, there is no room for Bai Yimao to say no.

The group of people took their places to sit down. Among them, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was walking and bumped into Qiniang who was running from the window with a teacup.

Qiniang was small, she staggered and sat on the ground, but the girl seemed to have touched some dirt, she didn't even look at Qiniang on the ground, she just patted her clothes to make sure there was nothing on them filthy, then Shi Shiran got on the wooden couch and sat down by himself.

Many people present saw what happened, some showed displeasure, and some didn't care. Bai Yimao's face darkened, and the atmosphere on the table became somewhat awkward.

Although these children are dressed in ordinary clothes, it seems that they are from small families, and they are not of the same social class as them, but since they are brought out by Bai Yimao, they should give some face, how can they be disgusted with contempt Be so obvious?

"Did you fall?" Someone asked.

"It's nothing." Si Niang walked over, reached out and pulled Qiniang up who was still sitting on the ground.

Qiniang's little girl is still young and doesn't understand anything, but she doesn't know why at this time, she just feels a little wronged.

His eyes were already red, but Si Niang's understatement said nothing happened, so he held back and fell down a bit. He was about to cry, be careful, sister will scold her again later.

Si Niang took Qiniang to the wooden couch and sat down, then smiled and said to everyone: "My elder brother taught us a game a few days ago, do you want to play it?"

"What about games?" After all, they are still teenagers, and they were born in such an age that lacks entertainment. When they talk about games, many people become interested. They also deliberately showed enthusiasm, hoping to ease the atmosphere.

"Look, I have four teacups here, called 'Shen, Lai, Qi, and Wang'. Each cup corresponds to a word. When I knock on a cup, you have to report the corresponding word, my brother. Said that this game is the best test of a person's ability to react." Si Niang said solemnly, placing four teacups on the low table in front of her.

"Who is your brother?" Someone asked.

"It's Lishi Luo Sanlang." Bai Yimao helped to answer.

"Oh, so you are the sisters of Luo Sanlang's family in Lishi." Someone said with a smile.

After learning the identities of Si Niang and the others, some of these people were surprised, some were curious, some were indifferent, and of course some were contemptuous. In terms of background, the Luo family was far behind them, especially when they just met The girl who killed Qiniang even wrote contempt on her face.

"Do you want to play this game?" Si Niang asked with a smile as if she hadn't seen it.

"I'll come first." I heard that when Luo Sanlang first took office, he used a simple and ingenious question to clean up a student of the Taixue. Those students of the Taixue used his question to come out all the time. To cheat people, at least nine out of ten will be tricked.

I don't know how the small games they play in their home are different from other places.

"You're very energetic, remember." Si Niang said, and tapped the third teacup with her chopsticks.

"Ding."

"gas!"

"Ding."

"god."

"Ding ding."

"God!

"Ding ding ding."

"Excellent."

"Ding ding ding ding."

"..."

The boy who was the first to participate in the game was not slow to react, he persisted for a while, but in the end it was Siniang who raised the speed to a certain level, so he couldn't keep up.

When the people next to them saw it, they became a little bit interested. It turned out that the Luo family used to play games like this on weekdays. If they slipped through such a small game, they would probably not step on the one plus one equals three game. the pit.

It is inevitable that young people are a bit competitive, always wanting to prove that they are smarter than others and quicker to react than others, so the people at the table played one by one, no matter men or women, they did not give up.

When it was the girl Qiniang's turn to bump into, Luo Siniang was also smiling, knocking on the teacups one by one and guessing with her.The little girl didn't think too much, what kind of background is she, what kind of background is the Luo family, she can not give the Luo family face, how can the Luo family not give her face?

"Ding!"

"god!"

"Ding Ding Ding!"

"The gods are prosperous!"

"Ding ding ding ding!"

"Want Want God, God Want!"

"Ding ding ding ding ding!"

"Shen Shen Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang!"

"Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding..."

"Want wang wang wang wang wang..."

Bai Yimao couldn't hold back for a long time, so he turned his face away and snickered, this little girl is still looking serious and eager.

The others also reacted one after another at this time, and they burst out laughing after a while, and Luo Liulang and Luo Qiniang were also laughing, rolling on the wooden couch with joy.

"Wangwangwangwang!"

"Hahaha!"

"Wow wow wow wow!"

"Hahahaha!"
