Rouge wrong

Chapter 3

The store recruited a buddy, but Shen Cuo was temporarily unable to be the hands-off shopkeeper.Although she herself had never figured out the price of things before.

The quantity of inventory, but at the beginning, it is still necessary to bring the buddies to familiarize themselves with the situation in the store.

In order to test the school Erya, Shen Cuo deliberately got up early the next day, opened the store door and saw that the little girl was waiting at the door early.

The early morning in September was already a bit chilly, Erya was dressed thinly, curled up by the door with her hands and feet curled up, when she heard the sound of the door opening she hurriedly tried to stand up, but accidentally fell back.

"Shen, Shopkeeper Shen."

"Hmm..." Shen Cuo frowned unconsciously, and condescendingly glanced at her from the corner of the eye, without any intention of helping, "It's quite on time, come in."

Erya's hands and feet were numb, but she didn't dare to neglect, she got up in a hurry, and followed Shen Cuo into the store.

The two stores look very spacious. Two rows of wooden buckets are placed against the walls, containing wheat, flour, beans and dry goods, and the two rows of shelves in between are some groceries of rouge and gouache.

The counter is near the door, and there are some containers on the wooden shelf behind it, with the words wine, vinegar, sauce, oil, etc. written on it.

Items are fairly neatly stacked, but they are rarely moved rather than cleaned frequently.

In addition to the counter and chairs, there was a noticeable layer of dust on the shelves as well as the wooden bucket covers.

Shen Cuo is a typical example of not working hard and not distinguishing grains from grains, but he always likes to be clean, and he barely wipes clean the places he wants to touch.

Second Aunt Li occasionally helped her clean the shop, but it was not her job after all, so Shen Cuo didn't force her to do so.

Erya had been back and forth before, but she didn't dare to take a closer look, but now that she was able to take a closer look, her eyes were dazzled.

Growing up so big, she has never seen so much food, let alone those rouge and gouache.

"You should write down the price of the goods today, and ask me if there is anything you don't understand."

Er Ya nodded obediently, Shen Cuo ignored her, and went into the back room without knowing what to do.

The prices were marked on the goods, and although Erya could read the numbers, Shen Cuo's flamboyant cursive script was really hard to read. She struggled to read the numbers for a while but couldn't recognize them.

Shen Cuo turned out from the back room after a while, holding a satin-covered sky-blue padded jacket in his hand, and threw it on Erya casually.

"Put on your clothes, seeing you shaking like this, I'm getting cold."

Her sudden movement startled Er Ya, and she almost missed the padded jacket.

"Shen, Shopkeeper Shen..."

The little girl was holding the clothes in a panic, not knowing what to do.

"I don't like to say it twice. If you can't understand the instructions like this, I can only fire you."

Shen Cuo was impatient, and Er Ya was taken aback, and hurriedly put the clothes on her body.

She had never seen and touched such beautiful and thick clothes, so one could imagine the anxiety in her heart.Shopkeeper Shen looked stern, but she only knew how to obey orders.

What Shen mistakenly took was a short jacket, but Erya was too thin, and it looked like a long jacket on her body.

"I'm dressed..."

Shen Cuo is quite dissatisfied, but this is already her youngest old clothes, so she can only give up now.

"Go to work as soon as you are dressed, and memorize the price of the goods early."

Erya nodded, and then said anxiously: "Shopkeeper Shen, I, I can't read the words..."

"Didn't you say you know numbers?"

Although Shen Cuo didn't care whether Erya really knew numbers, she hated liars, and her tone couldn't help being a little harsh.

Erya was at a loss, and stammered: "But, what you wrote is not very different from what my sister wrote..."

"trouble……"

Shen Cuo is quite proud of the grass in his hands, and he always uses cursive script for correspondence, which has made the whole teaching staff miserable.In the past, she naturally wouldn't accommodate others, but now she can't.

Erya watched helplessly as she turned into the back room again, and brought out a piece of good rice paper after a while, on which the cursive script was correspondingly marked in lower case.

"Look at..."

This was probably the limit of her patience. Before the other party answered, she turned and went to the counter, took out a book and read it.

Erya was terrified in the morning, and only then was she slightly relieved, the padded jacket she was wearing brought warmth to her.

Shen Cuo has always believed that merchants have copper stink, and it is indeed not a material for doing business, so where did he spend any thought on the shop?

The prices of the items were marked in a mess, and even Erya gradually noticed something was wrong.

When my sister was there, she was in charge of the household, and she heard from her side that even if the price of grain fluctuated from time to time, the price of coarse grain would always be lower than that of polished rice.

Er Ya was full of doubts, she turned her head to look at Shen Cuo sitting in front of the counter, and had to suppress these doubts for the time being.

Although she didn't have much contact, she also saw that the shopkeeper was impatient. Instead of asking each one now, it would be better to gather together and ask her.

In the morning, the second aunt Li made a meal and came to the front to call Shen Cuo, and saw Erya yelled affectionately.

Erya immediately replied sweetly: "Second Aunt..."

Second Aunt Li had some friendship with Erya's mother-in-law, and secretly took care of the two siblings on weekdays, she was one of Erya's few people who was not afraid, so Second Aunt didn't show any timidity at all.

Shen Cuo couldn't help but looked up at her, and saw Er Ya's eyes were bright, and there was a faint smile on her immature face.

"Shopkeeper, lunch is ready."

"Hmm..." Shen Cuo wanted to eat and remembered that Erya's lunch was not arranged. Second Aunt Li is the cook, so she doesn't stay with her all day, and she doesn't take care of the three meals.

But this guy stays in the store all day, so the lunch should be returned to the store, "What did you do for her?"

It's no wonder that Young Master Shen suddenly became enlightened and thought so carefully, Second Aunt Li was stunned when she heard her words, she didn't know how to answer.

How could she dare to make lunch for Erya without the shopkeeper's order?What's more, the villagers bring their own dry food when they go out to work and farm, and they have never heard of a free lunch.

"Shen, shopkeeper Shen, I brought it myself."

Second Aunt Li was in a dilemma, Er Ya quickly answered by herself.

Shen Cuo was dumbfounded again, and looked her up and down: "You brought it yourself? What did you bring?"

Her memory and insight are very good, this little girl came in empty-handed, how could she bring anything?

Erya carefully took out a piece of blue cloth from her arms: "I brought a steamed bun..."

Just looking at the blue cloth, Shen Cuo immediately recalled the unbearable past, and bitterness appeared on the tip of his tongue.

Seeing that her face turned blue, Er Ya didn't know what she said wrong, and looked at her helplessly.

"Don't eat this..." What kind of bun?It's black and hard, more unpalatable than a stone!Shen Cuo wanted to lose his memory immediately, "Don't eat it, throw it away."

While speaking, she got up and walked to the backyard, shaking her head with her hands behind her back, as if she was fleeing from some scourge.

Er Ya was sad and lost, she didn't know what to do when she held the bun in her hand.

Seeing Shen Cuo's attitude, Second Aunt Li felt hesitant, and said kindly: "Erya, wait a moment, Second Aunt will bring you something to eat later."

"But shopkeeper Shen..."

"It's okay, you look at the shop first, Second Aunt will come back as soon as she goes."

"Um……"

Second Aunt Li walked into the hall, where Shen Cuo was already sitting upright.The food has not been touched yet, and there is a large celadon bowl on the table, which is completely different from the exquisite tableware used by Shen Cuo, and I don't know where she dug it out.

"You pick some food for her, is that something for people to eat?"

Shen Cuo's brows were still wrinkled, unhappy as if his eyes were stained by something.

If this remark was heard by other people in the village, they might be so angry that they wanted to kill this pampered young lady in their hearts.

However, Second Aunt Li gradually understood her temperament, and knew that the shopkeeper had a good heart, otherwise which shopkeeper would worry about the shopkeeper's food?

"okay……"

Second Aunt Li had just picked up the bowl, when she heard Shen mistakenly say: "Wash it, wash it clean, I don't know how long it has been left."

Second Aunt Li felt that her hand was clean, so she still replied, "Understood, shopkeeper, you can eat at ease."

Shen Cuo was not a life to worry about, seeing that she paid attention to it, he didn't say anything, picked up the bowl and started to eat slowly.

She didn't eat or sleep, and Aunt Li knew that she would stop talking after eating, so she abducted herself to the back kitchen.

Shen Cuo eats less, but Second Aunt Li doesn't really cook that little per meal.Shen Cuo is quite picky about what to eat, and Second Aunt Li was not sure about her taste at first, and it is likely that only one of the several dishes can be eaten.

She doesn't embarrass others, she just chooses what she likes to eat, and often finishes eating one dish without touching the others.

Second Aunt Li naturally didn't dare to cook less, the leftovers were still half hot, and she would help her to see which dish she ate too much.

This kind of carefulness is very serious, and she doesn't care about her little thought of taking the leftovers home.

Erya sat alone in the shop, holding a bun in her hand.It was noon, and many peasants who went to work in the fields also went to the ridges to eat.

The sun was so hot that the few big trees in front of the grocery store became a good place to enjoy the shade.

Erya went to work every day, and these people had to look at them.For a mere little girl, the monthly salary is much higher than theirs, which is really unsatisfactory.

"Ah, it's time to eat."

The second aunt pressed a bowl full of food for her, and the rice was covered with broth, and the aroma could be smelled a few meters away.

"Second Aunt?" Er Ya's eyes were staring straight at the sight, and she couldn't help swallowing, "This is..."

"Shopkeeper Shen asked me to bring it to you, so feel free to eat."

Polished rice has never been the staple food of farmers, and Erya has never seen white rice.Looking at the bacon and jerky on the rice, Shi was too scared to reach out to pick it up.

Even the village chief's family only eats this way during the Chinese New Year and holidays, and this meal does not know how much money it will cost.

"But……"

Second Aunt Li patted her head kindly: "Shopkeeper Shen seems to have a bad temper, but he is actually kind-hearted. From now on, you don't need to bring your own food. Eat quickly, and you can start work after eating quickly."

When it came to starting work, Erya didn't dare to be negligent any longer, she took away the steamed buns, and sat in the corner with a big bowl in her arms.

good to eat……

Erya couldn't think of other descriptions other than delicious, this was food she had never eaten before, and the happiness brought by the deliciousness filled her whole body.

But besides happiness, she couldn't help feeling a little bit guilty: How great would it be if she could let her sister and younger brother have a taste of it?
