Chapter 402 Chen Siwu made great contributions
Chen Siwu?
Xie Xian squinted his eyes and recalled carefully.
It seems that he has never heard of this name.
And even his appearance is very unfamiliar.
So he asked tentatively: "Have we met?"
Chen Siwu chuckled: "You haven't seen me, but I have seen you! I have seen both of you!"
"I was a refugee who came here to escape. Did you often hang out with Master Fang? I saw you on the street!"
"Master Fang is very kind to this little man! May I ask...is Master Fang here too?"
Xie Xian and Zhou Tie suddenly realized.
It’s not surprising that he is a refugee.
Xie Xian smiled and shook his head: "I didn't come. Mr. Fang is in Beijing. Maybe he will come again if he has the opportunity in the future."
After hearing this, Chen Siwu showed a trace of disappointment on his face.
"Hey, shopkeeper, your business is good. I was a refugee before, but now I have opened my own shop!" Xie Xian praised.
Upon hearing this, Chen Siwu instantly became happy again.
He looked at his humble tea stall with pride on his face.
There were two malnourished waiters inside who were busy serving tea to the guests.
"Speaking of which, this is all the blessing of Master Tuo Fang! He gave the villain fifty taels of silver back then, so he had the capital to open a tea stall."
Xie Xian asked: "How is your life now? Are you making money?"
Chen Siwu was happy again: "Profit! The villain has turned around now!!"
Thinking back to the beginning, he was very happy working in the Sun family.
But as time goes by, I naturally have higher requirements for life.
But before his salary increased, his reputation as a "high-quality laborer" began to fail to scare people.
As you get older, after all, no matter how hard you work, you can't compete with a young man in his twenties.
The housekeeper of the Sun family was very jealous and helped him lower his wages on the spot.
Later, he lost interest in life and chose to fish at the construction site.
But after all, it is a construction site, there is a supervisor, and it is very dry, so there is no way to touch it!
Fortunately, I still have the fifty taels of silver that Fang Zhengyi originally rewarded me with.
He gritted his teeth and fucked her, quit!
I didn't get overtime pay, so I paid Sun's family 50 cents for the loss of work clothes, and I went out to start my own business!
Fortunately, the co-workers usually gather together to chat, so he understands their needs very well.
These laborers just want to drink some tea to quench their thirst and refresh themselves.
But where is the tea stall with so much dust everywhere?
Simply! Chen Siwu had the courage to start a tea stall by himself!
I rented an open space for twenty taels of silver a month, and without spending much money, I made a lot of bad tea, brewing a large vat of tea at a time.
The workers are here, you can drink whatever you want for two pennies! Unlimited renewal!
Although the profit was small, it had already begun to make a little profit, and of course some higher quality tea was added later.
When Xie Xian heard that he had made money, he was also pleased and encouraged: "Okay! Although your tea stall is small, the prices are fair and affordable. The business will definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future!"
Chen Siwu smiled happily and said, "Oh, I'd like to lend you your kind words!" But he turned around and started to sigh again: "Hey, it's a pity that Mr. Fang didn't come."
"You don't know, we hard laborers will suffer a lot as soon as Mr. Fang leaves."
Zhou Tie heard this and slapped the table: "What? Our Lord Fang told us not to abuse refugees, so how come someone dares to bully them as soon as he leaves?"
Chen Siwu immediately complained: "That's right!"
"The first two months after Mr. Fang left were fine, but after that, those stupid landowners started to cut our wages."
Xie Xian frowned and asked, "Why don't you go work elsewhere to save money? Could it be that they have joined forces?"
"No! It's because the prices our workers charge are too low! You don't know, because children under the age of twelve are admitted to schools outside the city for free. When word spread, many people from other places came here for this!"
"Just think about it, so many people suddenly flocked to the city just for their children to go to school for free and to have food to eat. His requirements for himself are no longer so high."
"Later on, those landowners who recruited workers only provided two meals a day before people were willing to work, so no one could get paid."
After listening to Chen Siwu's complaints, Zhou Tie raised his eyes and looked at Xie Xian.
"We didn't get anything done...what should we do?"
Xie Xian looked at the workers who were occasionally busy on the street and said: "It was inevitable that we acted in a hurry. Now that we are here, it seems we have to find a way to solve it. Shopkeeper, I see you have two
Man, how much do they make a month?"
"What kind of salary do you need? Two meals a day, do it as much as you like!"
"..."
Xie Xian looked at the honest and honest Chen Siwu speechlessly.
The fact that you opened a shabby tea stall is no different from the dog landlord you talk about...
Seeing that they were silent, Chen Siwu took the initiative and said, "I just heard you two talking about salt dealers... do you want to buy private salt?"
Zhou Tie and Xie Xian immediately looked at each other in surprise.
There was an unexpected gain!
Xie Xian hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Not bad! Do you know where I can buy private salt?"
"have no idea."
"...."
Chen Siwu raised his head and recalled, and then hesitantly said: "There really isn't any now, you can't buy it anywhere!"
"You could buy it in the past. When I was working at the Sun family, I saw them buying private salt!"
"We had so many co-workers at that time, it was boring to work without salt."
"The Sun family was reluctant to give salt. Later, when they saw that they didn't work hard, they had no choice but to buy more salt. I saw him sneaking around with the salt dealer and I knew he must have bought salt privately!"
"At that time, I went to Sun's house to collect my wages. When I came out, I saw the housekeeper and that person together at the corner. It was a cart full of salt. The housekeeper even tasted it twice and said it was good."
Zhou Tie touched his head and asked, "How are you sure it's a secret?"
"I saw the guy selling salt enter Fenghualou! I saw him several times on the street! How can a person selling government salt be so rich and so blatant?"
"Who doesn't know that Shopkeeper Xie's Fenghua Building is a gold-selling cave? No one with even a few thousand taels dares to take a look inside."
Xie Xian waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "No, no, it's not that expensive."
"So, do you know that person?"
It seems that things have suddenly turned around, and Xie Xian is in a good mood!
"You'll know him when you see him!" Chen Siwu promised, patting his chest.
"Okay! Can you please shopkeeper Chen do me a favor and live in Fenghua Building for a few days to identify this person? You don't have to open the tea stall. I will compensate you for the loss!"
Chen Siwu said happily: "No, no! It's such a small thing, I know you are helping Mr. Fang, so it is worth more than anything else to let me enter Fenghua Tower!"
Xie Xian and Zhou Tie burst into laughter.
"You're welcome, Shopkeeper Chen! I still have to pay the money that should be paid. I will have to write to Mr. Fang in the future to introduce talents like you!"
Introduce to Master Fang!?
Chen Siwu was immediately ecstatic! He turned his head and shouted behind him: "Tiedan! Serve tea! Serve fragrant tea!"
"You two, feel free to drink! Drink to your heart's content! I'm here to treat you today! Please also thank the shopkeeper for giving me a kind word for this little guy!"
Xie Xian laughed dumbly. He didn't expect that this little old man was quite motivated at his age.
"Don't worry, it's a trivial matter! You don't have to be polite. I think your stomach-clearing and detoxifying tea is good. I have never heard of this tea in the capital. What kind of tea is this?"
Chen Siwu rubbed his hands, looking embarrassed and very hesitant.
Finally, when he saw Xie Xian and his two men staring at him curiously, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Nothing...just...a little...added some laxative..."
"..."
"Fuck!"
Xie Xian's face suddenly fell, and he slowly put down the tea cup that had been brought to his mouth.
Chapter completed!
