husband in another world

"Excuse me, do you need a shopkeeper here?" A middle-aged man stood at the gate of the cloth shop, wearing a cotton robe, and speaking politely.

Looking at his demeanor, one can tell that this person is an experienced person in charge, and he must have been in this industry for many years.

Zhou Jing stood up and said with a smile, "Come in, I don't know where you got the news from?"

The middle-aged man walked into the cloth shop, stood opposite Zhou Jing, and said respectfully: "I was told by some old friends in the industry, so I thought about coming here to try my luck."

The fact that Zhou Jing wanted to recruit shopkeepers was only circulated among the peers in a small and medium-sized circle, and there was no formal recruitment on a large scale, and it was not the shopkeeper of the cloth village here but the shopkeeper of the sausage shop.

Buzhuang makes a lot of money here, so they dare not recruit people casually, for fear of attracting attention, so they plan to ask someone to replace Shen Lin and Wang Ren from the sausage shop. shares.

Zhou Jing asked: "I don't know which companies you have worked in before? Why didn't you do it?"

The middle-aged man lowered his head slightly, his expression darkened, he didn't answer right away, but paused as if reminiscing and said: "The owner of the previous family transferred the shop because of some family matters, and the master who bought the shop himself I can take care of it, so I didn’t continue to hire me.”

"Oh, that's right. Then I don't know the name of the shop you used to manage?"

"Splendid cloth shop."

Zhou Jing's complexion changed slightly, and then he smiled again: "You have rich experience, and you are suitable for my family, but unfortunately, someone took the first step yesterday, and it has already been decided."

The middle-aged man suddenly raised his head to look at Zhou Jing, only to see nothing but a smile on his face.

The middle-aged man said nothing, nodded, and left.

All the way around the corner of the street, I came to a remote area, and a teenage child came out from a dark place, with a dirty face, wearing burlap shorts, piles of patches, and big holes in the straw sandals on his feet , Eight out of ten toes can be exposed.

He stepped out from the middle-aged man diagonally, without even looking at the middle-aged man, as if he didn't know him, but when the two of them crossed paths, he heard the middle-aged man say: "It didn't work."

The child seemed to have expected it a long time ago, without pausing, he said calmly: "Zhou Jing, he is not simple."

In Buzhuang, Shen Mo brought out a jug of chilled honey and grapefruit water, and poured Zhou Jing and Chen Huihui a glass each.

Chen Huihui picked it up and took a big sip, so sweet that her eyes narrowed. "It's delicious and sweet."

"Drink more if you like, and chill it in the ice cream in the cellar." Shen Mo also took a sip himself, feeling cool and comfortable.

Chen Huihui drank it all in one gulp, feeling that most of the midsummer heat had been driven away, she stretched out her hand and poured honey grapefruit water and asked, "Master, I saw that your complexion was not right after that person mentioned 'Splendid Cloth Village' just now, it is that Jinxiu What did Bu Zhuang say, so you don't have to be willing to use him?"

Actually, the shop didn't recruit anyone, that was just Zhou Jing's perfunctory excuse.

"'Jinxiu Cloth Village', the name sounds so familiar."

Shen Mo mumbled a few sentences over and over again, and suddenly remembered.

"Our sausage shop used to run a cloth shop, right? It can't be the shopkeeper of Mrs. Zhou's cloth shop?"

"Our family still has a sausage shop?" Chen Huihui just touched the tea wall with her lips, and before she drank a sip of water, she exclaimed when she heard that the Zhou family had another shop.

Zhou Jing and Shen Mo continued to talk about each other as if they didn't hear her question.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's him."

"Him? He came to our house to apply for the shopkeeper, especially the shopkeeper of the sausage shop. I don't know what's his plan?"

"No matter what he thinks, since we bought the sausage shop, it is ours. It just so happens that the younger brother and the others will come over soon, so tell them to be careful."

"Well, that's fine." Shen Mo looked at the empty teapot, got up and went to the kitchen to refill it. "Brother Jing, the shop is not busy at the moment, ask Xiaohui to watch, let's go to the backyard to see Xiaoyu, the master has been here for half an hour, it's about time for the child to rest for a while."

The master was teaching Zhou Yu how to read, when he was suddenly interrupted, he frowned and looked displeased, but when he saw Zhou Jing and Shen Mo outside, he smiled and stood up.

"Master Zhou Zhou Fulang is here, please sit down."

Shen Mo came to the table with the teapot in his hand, picked up the cup and was about to pour water, but Zhou Yu took it over, he first poured a cup of honey grapefruit water for his wife, and after serving it to his wife, he turned back to the table and gave it to the table again. Poured himself a glass.

"Xiao Yu is a diligent and studious kid, and he is also very smart. He can understand a little bit. He is really a rare young seed." The master praised.

It is happier to praise one's own child than to praise oneself, Shen Mo said cheerfully: "It's the master who bothered."

"It's nothing. Teaching and educating people is my responsibility." The master said with a serious face.

"By the way, Mrs. Chen, I have something else to ask. My son Xiaoyu was seriously injured before, and he started to study when he got better in the past few days. Master, please let him rest for half an hour."

The master hurriedly said: "Xiao Yu is injured, where is the injury? The child didn't say anything, otherwise I would have told him to rest."

Shen Mo was afraid that Mr. Chen was suspicious, and thought he was blaming him, so he said: "This child is tolerant, and he keeps everything to himself and never talks about it, so I can only ask Mrs. Chen to take the trouble to watch it for a while, so I will let you go." Take a break, kid."

Master Chen said with a smile: "This is what a man does. He is so responsible at such a young age. It will be great in the future."

"Thank Master Chen for auspicious words." Shen Mo and Zhou Jing left after a few more polite words. When the door was closing, they heard Master Chen asking Zhou Yu to go to the study room to lie down with a cup of tea before continuing to study.

In the evening, Shen Lin and Wang Ren came over and brought a roast chicken and three catties of sausage.Chen Huihui took a look at the roast chicken and sausages wrapped in oiled paper, and found that the pattern on the oiled paper bag belonged to Zhouji Cooked Food.She remembered the sausage shop that Zhou Jing and Shen Mo had mentioned in the morning, and it turned out to be Zhou Ji Cooked Food.

Of course she knows about Zhou Ji's cooked food. Her family lives in the town, so she knows how famous Zhou Ji's cooked food is.I heard that the sausages of Zhouji Cooked Food have three flavors, five-spice spicy and original, among which five-spice spicy is the only one, and it is not sold in other shops.I remember going to the neighbors to find the little sister to play with, and when her father came back from buying sausages from Zhouji Cooked Food, he talked about the little sister and her for three days.Since then, Zhou Ji's sausage has left a very deep impression in Chen Huihui's mind. Whenever I mention it, even though I have never eaten it, I feel that it is too delicious.

It turns out that this well-known shop also belongs to the Zhou family, the master is really capable.

After Shen Lin entered the shop, he went straight to the kitchen. He made a pot of honey water and poured it into a big cup before he felt comfortable.

"I'm dying of thirst. Brother Ren and I walked over from the shop. We're sweating all over in this hot day."

Seeing Shen Lin who was so careless and entered the shop as if he had come to his own home, Chen Huihui frowned unhappily.

She knew Shen Lin. On the night when Shen Mo carried Zhou Yu back, Shen Lin and Wang Ren came to see him. At that time, Zhou Fulang introduced to her that he was his younger brother.

But Chen Huihui felt, so what about her younger brother, this is always Master Zhou's home, how could he be so casual, as if he was in his own home.However, Chen Huihui didn't know that before Shen Lin got married, he lived in Zhou's house. Although Zhou Jing and Shen Mo were elder brothers and brother-in-law to him, they were actually more like parents.Returning to my eldest brother means returning to my natal family, how could I be so cautious in my natal family.

"Brother, brother-in-law, would you like a glass, I added more grapefruit juice, it's delicious."

Although Shen Mo had just drank it, seeing Shen Lin drinking like this made him feel a bit greedy.

"Then pour me a glass too." Shen Mo picked up the cup and took a sip when he almost spit it out. He swallowed reluctantly, his whole face wrinkled. "Little brother, why is the grapefruit you picked sour? It's killing me!"

Shen Lin took another sip and said strangely: "It's not very sour, besides how sour grapefruit can be."

Wang Ren was also thirsty and tired after walking, and the grapefruit water that Shen Lin poured for him was too sour.

"Xiao Lin, it's really sour. You seem to be particularly good at eating sour food recently. The sour dried radish makes me grit my teeth."

"Why didn't I feel that." Shen Lin drank the grapefruit juice in his hand while talking.

After a few days like this, the shopkeeper could not be found in the shop, so Zhou Jing came up with the idea of ​​buying someone.

When the two came to the dental shop, as soon as they said they wanted to buy people, the dental dealer pulled out a row like livestock, and knelt down for Zhou Jing and Shen Mo to choose.

There were men and women among these people, all of them lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads.They have been worn out and are not suitable to be shopkeepers. Even if one or two of them have been shopkeepers before, they are all unclean and have betrayed their masters. Zhou Jing dare not use such people.

In the end, only two women were selected. One used to be in charge of cooking in the kitchen of a rich family. Because the ingredients purchased by the kitchen steward were not fresh, the dishes he made spoiled the young master's stomach. They were tracked down by the master, and all of them were distributed. come out.In fact, this matter itself has nothing to do with the mother-in-law. The younger brother who is in charge is a concubine of the master, and he usually uses his status to show off his might and do evil.Someone once reported it, but was beaten up instead, and no one dared to take care of it after that.The other cleaning woman also came from that old man's house. The two of them looked honest, and they said nothing when they asked. Zhou Jing's family was so busy with business that it really needed two women to do housework.

As soon as he led the two women out of the dentistry shop, a woman ran towards him, crying and crying as she ran.

"Help, help!"

Behind her were three burly men, and behind the three burly men was a woman who was running out of breath.The woman wears heavy makeup and revealing clothes, scolding while running.

"You little bitch, if you can run away, don't be caught by me. Tell my mother to catch you and deal with you. Aren't you unwilling to serve men? My mother will tell you to lie on the bed and serve men day and night... ..."

Someone recognized it and pointed to the cursing woman and said, "Isn't this the old bustard in the Chunfeng Building? She's abusive. This girl from another family fell into her hands. It's a pity that a good girl was ruined in vain." girl."

In just a short while, the three burly men grabbed the woman running in front and pinned them to the ground.The old bustard ran over, raised his arm and slapped her hard three times.The woman's nostrils were bleeding from being slapped.

"You run, you run away. Let me tell you, if you enter my Chunfeng Building, it will make you feel bad every day. Be good to my old lady, and wait for the man to come. If you get money, my old lady will make you popular." Drink spicy ones, otherwise my mother will ask people to serve men day and night, and they are still that kind of men." The old bustard pointed to a sloppy beggar who was begging on the side of the road.

The woman was lying on the ground, staring up at the old bustard, she didn't know where the ruthlessness came from, she gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I die, I won't let you succeed."

After saying that, he bumped to the ground, knocked his head until his head was bleeding, and he passed out.

"Oh, my little face, such a beautiful little face, was ruined by me. It's worthless. Now it's all right, I really have to serve those beggars."

Shen Mo was terrified when he saw it, and moved with compassion, "This woman's face is already disfigured, and it's worthless if you take her back. Why don't you sell it to me? My family just needs a cleaning girl."

The old bustard felt upset, and raised his head to stare at Shen Mo, thinking that it was just a pair of sons, who could be from a good family, and how much money he could have.Unexpectedly, he was stunned when he saw it. Although the pair in front of him was not as rouge and powdered as the other pairs, the clothes on his body and feet were all made of silk.Looking back, he saw Zhou Jing.Zhou Jing didn't know the people in Chunfeng Building, but the girls in Chunfeng Building knew that they had 'met' the shopkeeper of cloth village, Zhou Jing.He was a tough and handsome man, especially his nightdress, which was most liked by the girls.

The old bustard looked at Shen Mo and then at Zhou Jing, and remembered the rumors saying that the main room of the shopkeeper's house of 'meeting' was a husband, it's a pity for that capable man.

"So it's Zhou Fulang, I don't know Mount Tai anymore."

Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, "How do you know me?"

The old bustard looked meaningfully at Zhou Jing behind him.

Zhou Jing was so frightened that he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Fulang, I swear I've never been to that kind of place! I swear, I swear!"

Shen Mo glared at him bitterly, glared at him hard, gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't been there before, how could they recognize you at a glance?"

"Then how do I know, I am wronged!"

The old procuress covered his mouth and laughed: "Zhou Fulang, you don't have to be jealous, I don't dare to see him like this. As for why I know him, don't forget, what kind of shop do you run in your family?" Yes. Speaking of it, I would like to thank your master Zhou, because of the nightgown he got. My girl has made a lot of money."

Now Shen Mo was embarrassed and blushed, should he say thank you for your support?

The old procuress laughed enough and said: "This girl is lucky. You are willing to help her when you meet Zhou Fulang, and I will not be that heinous sinner. It's just that our girl has a price to enter the Spring Breeze Tower. You can't give it to her." Set a precedent, otherwise the girls will follow suit in the future, what should I do?"

Zhou Jing came up and said, "You tell me the number. If it's reasonable, we'll buy her."

The old bustard rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "How about this, you see, how about asking my girl to go to your shop to choose two dresses?"

"Your calculation is really shrewd. The skirts in my shop are expensive for 800 taels. Are you girls in Spring Breeze worth this price?"

Seven 800 taels?Those who watched the fun were taken aback, and looked at Zhou Jing and Shen Mo with different eyes.The two women who followed behind didn't know what kind of big family bought them.

"If you want a dress from my shop, I can promise you, but it can only be a piece of less than 200 taels, which is a lot. This woman is already disfigured, and 200 taels is a sky-high price."

The old bustard knew it too, and nodded in agreement.
