Just after noon, the pedestrians on the street were deserted, and there were only a few sparse people.

"Hey, this business is getting harder and harder to do." A young man dressed as a servant of the [-]th or [-]th year was lying on the counter with his chin resting on his hands, and his big eyes were eagerly looking at the passers-by outside.

Next to him, a skinny young man in his late thirties flicked the beads on the abacus with his fingers, and reminded softly: "It's fine to think about it in private, don't say it in public, and be careful to let the head of the family hear it." .”

Hearing this, the young man immediately made a bitter face, sighed and said, "It's hard work being a lady, and I don't know how long I can last."

The young man stopped counting, raised his eyes to look at the street, his eyes were dark, "As long as you can last as long as you want, as long as the head of the family is still there."

In a blink of an eye, at dusk, there are still few patrons.

The young man complained while packing his things: "If the loss continues like this, I'm afraid even the life in the house will be affected."

The young man here came over, raised his hand and smacked the young man on the head, "Speak less, don't make trouble for the master."

"Understood." The young man hugged his head aggrievedly, thinking that he was also wholeheartedly for the good of the head lady.

The two continued to tidy up and remained silent, feeling a sense of desolation in their hearts.The hundred-year-old store was so brilliant at the beginning, but now it is in dismal operation. The store has shrunk to only two rooms, and each room is equipped with only two or three servants, so there are few customers.

"Excuse me, does Liuyunfang need manpower?"

Very sudden sound.They turned their heads one after another, only to see a young man in his twenties, with a burden on his shoulders, stepping into the crowd with two feet, standing still slightly, with a somewhat awkward appearance.

Not looking for trouble.The young man looked him up and down, but he couldn't see any threat, so he slowed down his tone and asked, "What advice do you have, little brother?"

The young man, that is, Xiao Yi, after talking about job hunting for the first time, the second time is naturally much easier, "I'm from out of town and I want to find a job. Do you need manpower?"

After finishing a few words, before the young man answered, the young man next to him took a step forward and said, "The waiters for tea and water delivery are full, please go home."

Xiao Yi: "..." Does Liuyunfang still have a division of labor such as serving tea and delivering water?Are you sure it's not an inn?

The young man was also silent, stretched out his hand to pull the young boy back, and said to Xiao Yi: "Liuyun Fang is indeed not short of manpower, little brother, you should go and observe the next house."

"Don't you need the staff in the back kitchen?" Xiao Yi continued to ask.

"It doesn't take so many people to chop wood and make a fire. I see that your hands and feet are weak, and you can't do that kind of work." The young boy bluntly said that it was not because of his nature, but because of past events that hurt him.Back then, Liuyunfang's deadly rivals hired two people to sing in Liuyunfang, one begged and the other persuaded, expressly saying that they were sorry for Liuyunfang's century-old reputation, admired it for a long time, and couldn't bear its decline, but secretly ridiculed it for having no successors , Seeing that it was about to collapse, the boy was in a panic on weekdays, only staring at the pedestrians and lights on the street.

Later, the two sang all the way to the opposite side, and got a small steward to do it, which made the onlookers watch a good show.The young boy has hated this for a long time, that's why he picks and chooses Xiao Yi like this.As for why he subconsciously put Xiao Yi in a position that needs to be guarded against, it is really that the defeat of Liuyunfang is a foregone conclusion, and now he is just dying, and no one with a discerning eye will try to find a future in Liuyunfang.

Xiao Yi didn't care about the young man's sarcasm, after all, what he said was the truth, and there was nothing to argue about.But he still decided to try again, saying: "I didn't want to chop wood and make a fire, that's not my strong point."

Xiao Yi took out his trump card, "I have a new formula, do you really not think about it?"

Hearing this, both the young man and the young boy paused for a moment, looked at Xiao Yi with questioning eyes, then retracted their eyes at the same time, and looked at their own people. The two of them had the same thoughts at this time.

This can be a bit tricky.

It was hard for the two of them to make a decision, so they had a little discussion, planning to let him meet with the head of Liuyunfang, and let the head make a decision.But it was getting late at this time, and if someone saw him taking a stranger to the head's house, it was inevitable that someone with a heart would make a fuss about it and make irresponsible remarks.

After thinking for a while, the young man told the young man, "Xiaohe, go and ask what the master means first, I will stay here and have a chat with this little brother."

The boy named Xiaohe nodded and ran out to spread the word.

Xiao Yi put his eyes on the young man who seemed to be interested in him. The young man gave him a friendly smile and said, "I am the accountant here, Bai Qing. Please come in and sit down, little brother."

Thinking about walking over, Xiao Yi touched his nose and told the truth, "Then what, sir, I don't have anything to say. If you don't mind, I can show you."

Mr. Bai Qing, the accountant who intends to find out his background first: "..."

"That's not urgent." Bai Qing smiled.

Xiao Yi thinks that this gentleman may feel that there is something wrong, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong. When someone is questioning or someone wants to talk nonsense to you but you don't want to talk nonsense, it shouldn't be the best way to speak out with your strength. good way?

"Is there any problem?" Xiao Yi asked sincerely.

"No problem. It's just," Bai Qing shook his head slightly, and he could see that he was a straightforward person, so he stopped making those roundabouts. "Little brother, we all pay attention to making money with kindness when we come out to do business. As for the subordinates At the very least, everyone wants to be clean and not cause trouble for the boss."

Xiao Yi was a little dazed, hesitatingly said: "Then I...should be fine, right? I'm just an ordinary person."

Subconsciously, Xiao Yi didn't feel that he was such an important person. Zhuang'er's master had already let him go, which meant that it was probably because he was useless and the chances of finding him were very small.As for the Jun family... Xiao Yi refused to think about it.

how to say?He doesn't really want to go back, and as far as the current situation is concerned, it seems that it is not suitable for him to go back.

Who cares, the Jun family is too dangerous, he still doesn't know why Zhuang'er's master is following him.Is it because of that damned rumor?But Jun Han has already married Princess Sixteen.

These thoughts are just the blink of an eye, and Xiao Yi quickly came back to his senses.

Xiao Yi talked to Bai Qing, and Bai Qing closed the door of the shop and took him to the backyard.Not long after, someone hurried in from outside with a lantern.Seeing Bai Qing sitting up to meet him, Xiao Yi followed without thinking too much.

One was tall and the other was short. Xiao Yi recognized that the shorter one was a young boy named Xiaohe. As for the other one, he was dressed as a young man with all his hair tied up, with a serious expression and pursed lips, which seemed unusual. laughing people.It's just that with that delicate and indistinguishable face, it doesn't look so serious.

Thinking of the previous events, Xiao Yi looked at the person curiously. Is this the young female head of Liuyunfang?

At this time, Bai Qing yelled "The head of the house", which can be regarded as helping him to confirm the identity of the person who came.

While Xiao Yi was secretly curious about strangers, the head of Liuyunfang was also quietly observing Xiao Yi, an unexpected job seeker, and his first impression was: too tender.in various senses.

But she is not dissatisfied, such a person does not have so many thoughts, so it is easy to grasp.As long as he is not a mediocre person who cheats on him, she will consider it carefully.

"I'm in charge of Liuyunfang, Jiang Yan. What's your name, little brother?" Jiang Yan smiled slightly.She is not the kind of person who doesn't like to laugh naturally, it's just that too many troubles in recent years have oppressed her to become mature, cautious, and she no longer laughs so often.It's just that on some occasions, she won't make others feel depressed with a cold face.

"Master Jiang." Xiao Yi nodded slightly and greeted, "My name is Xiao Yi."

Jiang Yan nodded, and said directly: "I heard that you want to work in Liuyunfang?"

Xiao Yi nodded, and his attitude became more correct.You must perform well in front of your boss, this is related to your own future.At the same time, Xiao Yi secretly commented that Jiang Yan has a good temperament. Although she is a woman, she is somewhat heroic when she disguises herself as a man.Xiao Yi liked the direct questioning without beating around the bush.

Jiang Yan faced Xiao Yi and said: "To tell you the truth, Liuyunfang is not short of manpower because it is doing small things now. But I heard that brother Taiwan has a new prescription, this is different. If you dislike the small place of Liuyunfang, then Liuyunfang welcomes it."

This is a real honest man.Xiao Yi cleared his throat, and then said: "Master Jiang, I'm here for the first time, and I don't know the specific situation, but I really want to seek development here, and I came up after consideration. I also ask Master Jiang to judge whether my qualifications are enough. Stay in Liuyunfang."

Before Jiang Yan came, Xiao Yi had passed a lot of news with Bai Qing, so he still had some confidence in speaking.As long as Jiang Yan can look at him differently, then there is no need to worry about this job.

Jiang Yan also agrees with Xiao Yi's words, if it is a donkey or a horse, you will know if you take it out for a walk.

On the other side, the lights are dimly lit.

"Shopkeeper, there hasn't been any movement in Liuyunfang recently, do we want to..." The man stopped talking, but the two people present knew what he meant.

The middle-aged man who was called the shopkeeper stretched out his hand to stroke a small beard on his chin, a gleam flashed across his slightly narrowed eyes, and said slowly: "No need. The defeat of Liuyunfang is doomed, and sooner or later it will become yesterday's yellow flower, Another touch will damage our reputation. Let me wait until the day it closes down, I have plenty of time."

"Yes." The man said respectfully, and did not forget to take the opportunity to flatter him, "I believe that day will not be too far away."
