Chapter 44 Processing

None of the doors or windows in the box next door were open, and the paper-carved windows were covered with curtains, making the surroundings even darker, and even the air seemed to be cold.

The deputy shopkeeper sat on the ground with his eyes tightly closed, his hands and feet tied up and unable to move.

Hearing the noise, the deputy shopkeeper slowly opened his eyes. The light coming from the door was a bit dazzling. He could only see the hem of the shopkeeper's clothes and the hem of a girl's skirt.

The deputy shopkeeper subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but suddenly remembered that his hand was restrained and could not move, so he quickly closed his eyes again to adjust to the light.

But if you think about it, you can figure out who is coming in.

It's just that there has been no water for many hours in a row. The burning sensation in the deputy shopkeeper's throat became more intense. He couldn't help coughing and then called out in a hoarse voice: "Girl... girl."

Jiang Xian took a look and said, "Pour him a glass of water."

The shopkeeper quickly complied.

The deputy shopkeeper took the cup and said in a low voice: "Thank you..."

The shopkeeper shook his head to indicate that you're welcome, and sighed again.

"Cough..." The deputy shopkeeper's throat felt better after the cold tea fell into his dry throat.

Jiang Xian did not rush to interrogate him, but first asked the shopkeeper: "Did the cook send it to Nanfeng Pavilion?"

The shopkeeper bent down: "Yes."

"Has his family been dealt with?"

The shopkeeper replied politely: "The cook's family has an old mother and a newly married wife. I sent a message to them to tell them the situation. The girl was kind and gave them the cook's prostitution fee and some money. If the bride is filial,

It’s more or less enough to support my mother throughout her old age.”

Jiang Xian said lightly "Hmm".

"Say it." Jiang Xian squatted down and looked at the deputy shopkeeper, leaning his elbows on his knees, holding his chin together with his white fingers, his voice was clear and careless.

"Is there anything you think I might be interested in?"

The deputy shopkeeper stared at Jiang Xian for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: "I told you, can you please forgive me?"

Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows: "Are you threatening me? Or are you negotiating terms?"

"The little one doesn't dare, but I'm just asking for a way out." The deputy shopkeeper couldn't help coughing twice, his tone was low and pitiful, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just that the little one has an old father and mother, a wife and children, and the little one is still crying for food.

, how would we live our lives without my little one?"

"You didn't think about the consequences when you did this?" Jiang Xian chuckled, "Since you did something wrong, you have to pay the price."

What would have happened to Zuixianlou if she hadn't discovered it in advance? Where would she have followed her up and down in Zuixianlou?

Just sending him to Nanfeng Pavilion wouldn't give him an advantage?

The deputy shopkeeper said feebly: "Girl, I thought, if I hadn't done this and known this secret, wouldn't you have been kept in the dark about this secret for the rest of your life?"

"So now I just want to make up for my mistakes and ask the girl to give me a chance."

Jiang Xian raised his eyes and curled his long eyelashes upward: "What if I don't give it?"

The deputy shopkeeper said lightly: "Then let this matter turn into a cup of loess along with me."

"Ha..." Jiang Xian stood up, his voice clear and clear, "If he doesn't want to say it, forget it."

waste time.

Jiang Xian looked at the shopkeeper: "Send it over."

Where to send him?

Nanfeng Pavilion?

This is the end?

The deputy shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat, feeling that things were getting more and more out of his control. He looked at Jiang Xian's back in disbelief as he was about to go out, and shouted with all his strength: "Young lady really don't want to know about this?"

Jiang Xian paused and said lightly: "How long do you think it will take for me to find out something that you already know?"

The deputy shopkeeper was silent.

A few seconds later, he confessed honestly and without any hesitation: "I don't know who the people from Zuixian Restaurant and Quanjia Restaurant are, but there are more than one."

"And there are people posted by other restaurants. If there are many, you have to check them yourself."

Jiang Xian's eyes widened.

Zuixianlou doesn't care much about it, but I didn't expect those restaurants to stretch their hands so far.

"More than one"? How many? Zuixianlou really needs to take care of itself.

As for whether what the deputy shopkeeper said was true or false, she would naturally check it out.

She said: "Has the construction of the Yi Canal begun? Send him there, and remember to find someone to look after him."

Upon hearing this, not only the deputy shopkeeper was overjoyed, but even the shopkeeper felt relaxed.

"Thank you, girl, thank you very much, girl."

No matter what the deputy shopkeeper did, he brought it up all by himself. The shopkeeper couldn't bear to send it to a dirty place like Nanfeng Pavilion.

But now for the shopkeeper, there is one more thing that needs to be ordered by Jiang Xian...

"Girl, it's my fault for not taking care of Zuixianlou. Please punish me!"

"It's indeed your fault." Jiang Xian didn't hesitate.

The shopkeeper's head lowered even lower.

"but--"

Jiang Xian changed his mind: "I will investigate this matter myself."

Jiang Xian did not accuse him, but only said: "The matter of the Jiangnan branch may have to wait for a while, and we cannot do without you in the capital."

The shopkeeper's wife's hometown is in Jiangnan. He has been waiting for Jiang Xian to open a branch of Zuixianlou in Jiangnan, promote the deputy shopkeeper to take charge of Zuixianlou in Beijing, and then go to Jiangnan with his wife, children and children.

When the shopkeeper saw that Jiang Xian was not angry, he quickly said: "No, no, no matter where I am, I am lucky to be able to work for the girl."

This is flattery, and it is true.

On weekdays, the boss doesn’t come to Zuixian House often, so he basically makes the decisions at Zuixian House. Besides, he doesn’t exactly ask for a share of the meal at Zuixian House, Zuixian House still has his share. According to the boss’s words,

That's called "shares."

Since joining my boss, the food and clothing in his family have become much more comfortable.

The deputy shopkeeper's eyes darkened.

Going to Xiuyi Canal is naturally better than going to Nanfeng Pavilion, even for a man, it is a thousand times better. But the conditions there are difficult, not as good as those in the capital, and they have to be strictly guarded and endure the pain of separation from their close relatives.

If I hadn't been blinded by lard...

But what Quanjia Restaurant promised itself was gold!

How many people are unmoved in front of gold? You can’t blame yourself!

After the matter was settled, Jiang Xian opened the door, and Jiang Sheng from the box next to him happened to come out.

Liu Zhongran was smiling all over his face. Jiang Sheng was talking to him when he caught a glimpse of Jiang Xian and came over: "Sister."

"Well, is the deal settled?"

Liu Zhongran said: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be so knowledgeable at such a young age. I feel ashamed."

Jiang Xian looked at Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Xian blinked and then curled his lips.

Jiang Xian said to Liu Zhongran: "If nothing happens, I will take my sister back home."

Liu Zhongran responded: "Okay, okay."

On the way back, Jiang Xian asked casually: "What did Liu Zhongran say to you?"

Jiang Sheng said: "Mr. Liu said that he encountered a problem a while ago. I promised to go with him to the medical clinic when I have some free time."

"Oh." Jiang Xian didn't ask any more questions.

Jiang Sheng's heart moved.

The boss sister didn't get to the bottom of it. Was it because she didn't care, or did she already know that she was not the original person? She even knew that she was also a disguised person?

Thinking about it, she has never deliberately concealed anything, including her painting and medical skills, including her behavior.
