Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

Very kind.

Pan Jinlian looked very happy, thinking that this matter was considered complete, but she didn't see that when the boy from the restaurant brought the food box, there was a gray shadow quietly flashing from the next door.

14 Chai Kee

After a few days, Chaide came over and sent someone to ask for the formula. Pan Jinlian counted the days and guessed that he had found someone to make it but failed to make it, so he had no choice but to come here honestly.She had already guessed that if Chaide got his own process, he would have to find the craftsmen behind closed doors to make some appearances first, to see if it suits the taste, and more importantly, if he can save [-]% of the bonus.Only when his ambition is broken, can he get his share in the future.

Pan Jinlian was not in a hurry, she just sat at home and waited for someone to come to her door.The one who came to get the formula was the young man who followed Chai De to mediate in those few days. It is said that he used to be the third young master of the Chai family, and now he is the shopkeeper's servant. When he saw Pan Jinlian, he still looked embarrassed and stood at the gate with his head down. Explaining why she came, Pan Jinlian gave up her seat with a smile, and seeing that he was determined not to enter the room, she asked him to wait outside, and went back to the room to change into an embroidered jacket with narrow sleeves, a long skirt with white flowers on a blue background, and a double-breasted hem Back, took a handkerchief and a bag of prepared powder, locked the door, but suddenly stopped:

"My little brother, may I ask your name, Gao?"

"Oh, Chai Ziyu, my name is Chai Yu. When my father got me, he happened to get a piece of high-quality ancient jade, so he gave me this name. Later, when he came out to do business with the shopkeeper, he was obviously feminine, so he asked someone to name me. , called Ziyu." The young man blinked, and hurriedly added: "I am the fifth in the family, and the lady can call me Chai Wu."

"Chai Wu? This name is not loud enough. Chai Ziyu sounds better, and he looks like a person who has studied. But how do we go, I will walk on the street with you two, let people see or gossip .”

Seeing that it was still early, Pan Jinlian was not in a hurry. After thinking about it, she felt that it is common in modern times to follow a man so hastily.

Chai Ziyu nodded, and had already made arrangements:

"I've already hired a sedan chair, and I'm waiting at the entrance of the alley."

"Okay, so what if I go with you."

Pan Jinlian glanced at him with a smile, and then went to Sister-in-law Liu's house to explain that she had a relative whom she hadn't seen for a long time in Yanggu County, and asked herself to go there for a reunion: "If you haven't come back at night, let me join the head of the family and uncle to Chai." Remember that the wine shop is going to find me, and I must remember to tell them, so that everyone will not be panicked, and those bad-mouthed gossips will be made again."

Sister-in-law Liu readily agreed, and Pan Jinlian carried her skirt and followed Chai Ziyu out of the alley, and sure enough a small sedan chair was waiting there.Looking up and down, the pine-colored silk sedan chair body is covered with silver feet, and beside it are two middle-aged bearers leaning on the sedan chair to pick their teeth.

Originally, she had wanted to sit in this legendary sedan chair, but she never got the chance. Pan Jinlian was pleasantly surprised, and slowly got into the sedan chair, feeling up and down, and found that the seats inside were also made of wooden boards, and the upper floor The sapphire blue cotton cushions were used, and since most of the seats were women, they did not see the so-called windows.

Suddenly there was a shaking, the sedan chair left the ground, and started to go to Chaiji Wine Shop.

************************************************** *************

Pan Jinlian felt that she was not getting out of the sedan chair, but was thrown out of the sedan chair. After sitting on this thing, two words can describe it: boring, shaking, so Pan Jinlian, who has never been seasick, airsick, or car sick The young lady fainted from sitting in the sedan chair.

After standing on the ground looking for a feeling for a long time, Pan Jinlian finally saw the road ahead, looked at Chai Ziyu who seemed a little surprised beside him, waved his hands, lifted the skirt and walked to the back of the shop:

"Brother Chai, where is the back door?"

Chai Ziyu's face suddenly turned red inexplicably, and pointed to an alley next to the wine shop:

"Enter that alley, and I'll take you there."

As he said that, he didn't even let her go, he raised his legs and hurried in, as if there were many people chasing after him.Pan Jinlian couldn't figure it out for a while, and followed him in, thinking that this ancient man was quite reserved, and would always blush.

The two of them entered the workshop and entered a moon gate. Inside was a neat two-entry courtyard, which was neatly tidied up. There were cannas lining the wall and a small garden separated by two bamboo fences. Some unknown things were planted in it. , a piece of green, a grape shelf was built in the center, and some rattan tables and stools were placed inside.

"It's well cleaned up. Is this the yard where your shopkeeper lives?"

Pan Jinlian took a peek around and joked with a smile.Chai Ziyu was five steps away from her, but he heard it clearly, nodded quickly and agreed:

"Exactly, when we came here, our shopkeeper and the store's accountant and I lived in this yard. I looked a bit desolate, so I planted these things. The main room is where our shopkeeper sees customers. He has long Wait, I will take my wife there."

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the elegant courtyard he renovated. Pan Jinlian was a little surprised. Seeing that although this person was handsome and handsome, there was always a slight inferiority complex between his eyebrows. Come to this place.I just didn't expect him to have such elegant leisure, so I couldn't help but smile:

"Then I will trouble Brother Chai."

As soon as he arrived at the door, Chai De was already sitting upright in the upper part of the living room. When he saw the two coming, he just bowed his hands and greeted the little girl next to him:

"Come, pour tea for the lady."

"Shopkeeper Chai, please be polite. I still have a lot of chores at home, so I'm not too polite. Please, Shopkeeper Chai, move the staff in the winery to another place for now. I just need a little time."

Chai De was stunned for a moment, nodded his chin to Chai Ziyu, and asked him to go out to make arrangements, while he ordered some tea on the table in a leisurely manner, chatting with Pan Jinlian with a smile on his face:

"How is the lady's house?"

"Thank you, shopkeeper Chai, for your concern. We are in charge of the business, and my uncle is a catcher in the yamen. They are all doing well, but shopkeeper Chai works hard for the wine shop every day."

Pan Jinlian replied with a half-smile, picked up the cup and took a sip, feeling that the tea leaves were very astringent, so she put it down again.Just as Chai De was about to say something, Chai Ziyu had already entered the hall:

"Boss, everything has been arranged."

Pan Jinlian had already been on the road to find out how much malt Haochai's family used this time, and figured out how much hops, cinnamon and ginger powder they needed, and didn't bother with them any more. She just went to the winery, took a look at it, and hid it in her sleeve. When the powder arrived, he stirred it with the wooden stick next to him, and walked out slowly, clapping his hands.

"All right?"

Chai Ziyu was standing at the door guarding Pan Jinlian, and was pacing around. It was unexpected to see her come out so fast, and there was an inexplicable expression on her face.Pan Jinlian looked around, only heard a thud on the back wall, as if some heavy object had fallen, she didn't care, just waved her hands and smiled:

"Okay, it's just to put some things in it, how long will it take? Oh, brother Chai, go tell the shopkeeper, and I won't bother him anymore. Before, I let the sedan chair sit at the back door Wait, go home now."

"Ma'am, please wait a moment. I'll tell the shopkeeper and I'll be right back."

Chai Ziyu responded, walked quickly towards the inner courtyard, and came back after a while:

"Our shopkeeper twisted his waist just as he was walking, and said that he would not keep his wife, and asked me to send her home safely."

Pan Jinlian thought it would be safer for someone to follow her, so she couldn't help but have a good impression of Chai De, and followed Chai Ziyu back to the alley along the same road. After noon.

After sending Chai Ziyu away, Pan Jinlian reheated the leftovers, cooked a vegetarian dish, filled her stomach, and then lay down on the bed with her eyes closed and rested.I haven’t been out for such a long time since I arrived here, and I started to feel tired. It’s really not as good as before, or my body didn’t have much exercise, let alone rough work, so it’s so fragile. One-tenth of the spirit of the subway, presumably it may not be the case now.

Pan Jinlian suddenly felt like laughing. The equality between men and women that has been said so many times in modern times is finally reflected in the bus and subway stations. I don’t know if it’s luck or misfortune, but anyway, I can’t go back, so it’s not very useful to think about it so much , It is the most important thing to earn money honestly.

Turn around and start to plan for the future. Although Wuhan University is a good place, it is not a long-term solution. In the future, I have to find a place for myself, but I am not familiar with the place here. She is still at a loss as to where to go. She can only wait. opportunity.And if he left, he would have to come over every year to ask for money from the Chaijia Wine Shop, so it might not be easy for him to be alone.

After thinking about it, the best way is to find a reliable person to marry, so as to solve all the problems, but where is this person?

Pan Jinlian was a little annoyed, she got up and went to the kitchen and decided to eat lily and lotus seed soup first to calm down her anger and bring beauty to her face, so as not to worry too much about wrinkles that would appear again.

There is still a little rock sugar left in the house. I steamed carefully selected huge lotus seeds in a steamer and stewed them with lily and wolfberry. I sat in front of the window and watched the bustling pedestrians in the distance while eating afternoon tea. After packing up, the shadow of the sun slowly Moving to one side, the sky was filled with sunset, it was time for Wu Da and Wu Song to come back, Pan Jinlian began to put all these things behind her, thinking about what to cook for the two of them at night
