When Jiang Ning returned to Chang Gong's yard, the weather was already calm, but from the corners of Chang Gong's slightly red eyes, it could be seen that Chang Xiuzhi had already told him the news of his parents' death.
The pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man may not be something he can understand, but Jiang Ning can still feel the sadness from this old man. When Chang Gong saw him coming back, he didn't say much, and exchanged greetings with him as usual. .
Seeing that it was already noon, Mr. Chang invited Jiang Ning to have lunch here. He just mentioned this briefly, then entered the kitchen without any refusal, and drove out Chang Xiuzhi who was following him to light the fire, saying: "How can Let the guests stay alone? I’ll just come here, and you go to accompany the guests.”
Chang Xiuzhi couldn't hold him back at all, so he came to the courtyard dumbfounded, and said to Jiang Ning, "My grandfather is still the same as before, extremely stubborn."
Jiang Ning smiled slightly and said: "Old people are like this, you have to take care of them."
Chang Xiuzhi shook his head helplessly, the two of them sat in the yard, listening to the wind blowing through the trees, after a while, Chang Xiuzhi suddenly said: "Shopkeeper, I..."
Jiang Ning turned to look at him, waiting for him to continue, but after waiting for a long time, Chang Xiuzhi seemed to be stuck, opened his mouth, and refused to say anything, Jiang Ning asked simply: "Do you want to stay here?" Suzhou?"
Chang Xiuzhi closed his mouth tightly, and after a while, he said: "Yes... I have this idea, but..."
When he said this, he sighed again, and said: "Grandpa is getting old, I don't worry, I, I..." He frowned deeply, obviously in his young eyes, this is a matter It's a big deal, but since his parents passed away, he has made all the decisions by himself. Even at the current situation, he never thought of asking others for help.
Jiang Ning nodded, expressing his understanding, and said: "It's not urgent, you should think about it carefully." After a pause, he added: "You might as well discuss it with Mr. Chang, maybe he can give you some advice."
Chang Xiuzhi was stunned for a while, and then said: "I see, thank you shopkeeper."
After lunch, while Chang Xiuzhi was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, he really hesitantly mentioned this matter to Chang Gong. After hearing this, Chang Gong turned cold on the spot, and said with displeasure, "Put the bowl down for me."
Chang Xiuzhi was a little confused, and said, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Chang Gong ignored him, and still said: "Put it down, come here."
Chang Xiuzhi didn't know why he put down the bowl, and walked in front of him. Mr. Chang suddenly picked up a broom and slapped his ass hard twice. He turned his head and saw that Mr. Chang was trembling to catch up, he stopped hesitantly, stood where he was, and allowed Mr. Chang to whip a few big brooms violently.
After smoking, Mr. Chang threw the broom and cursed: "No prospect!"
Chang Xiuzhi felt a little wronged immediately, and before he could speak, Chang Gong continued to scold: "A man, how can he be so petty? What's the use of guarding me, a bad old man, in a corner? His eyes are three inches shorter than others! "
Chang Xiuzhi couldn't help muttering and defending: "Aren't I worried about you?"
Chang Gong frowned, and his tone was slightly angry: "I'm an old man, and I have troubled you, why don't I feel at ease if I die now!"
Hearing these words, the veins on Chang Xiuzhi's forehead twitched, but he has always been a calm temperament. At least he didn't quarrel with Chang Gong. He just took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, and said in a good voice: "I'm just asking, the matter is not yet settled, why are you so excited?"
Seeing that the two were quarreling, Jiang Ning said to Chang Gong: "It is indeed as Xiu Zhi said, the matter has not yet been settled, and there is always room for discussion."
After hearing this, Chang Gong finally looked better, Jiang Ning secretly winked at Chang Xiuzhi, Chang Xiuzhi immediately packed up the dishes, greased the soles of his feet and ran away.
Just as Mr. Chang sat down, Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chang may already know that Xiuzhi is working in my shop now."
Chang Gong's expression softened a lot, he nodded, and said politely: "I'll thank you for taking care of him these days."
Jiang Ning said with a smile: "Xiuzhi is very organized in doing accounts, and he is very calm in dealing with people. When I am not around, he is the one who helps me, and I dare not mention the word "take care of me."
Chang Gong shook his head and said: "You don't have to be polite to me, at first he was just a child who didn't understand anything, if it wasn't for you, who would teach a young child to be an accountant? A shop delivered to him?"
When he said this, he sighed, and said: "Xiuzhi is still young, and he still has a long way to go in the future. However, his parents left early, and there are still many things that are too late to teach him. Grandpa's is really powerless, so I still have to trouble you."
Jiang Ning waved his hands with a smile, paused for a while, and then said: "As the saying goes, parents are here, and they don't travel far. They cultivate their filial piety and want to stay. It's just because they worry about you. You should be happy."
Chang Gong listened, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "Of course I know... This child has been like this since he was a child, and no one knows it better than me, but," he raised his head and looked at the big boy. Outside the opened courtyard door, he said to Jiang Ning: "You have also seen that this corner of Xiaoqiaozhuang is just us useless old men, only peasants with mud legs are willing to stay. We work at sunrise and rest at sunset. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, I just face the loess and my back to the sky, endlessly. I am an old man who has half of his body buried in the soil. What is he doing guarding me? Why don’t you take advantage of your youth and go out to wander and gain experience? Stay here Watching the sky and eating, people's spirits are exhausted."
He sighed for a long time, as if he was burdened with a heavy burden, Jiang Ning paused, and said: "I originally planned to open a tea shop in Beidi, but now that I think about it, this tea shop might as well be opened in Suzhou Now that the city is finished, Xiuzhi can not only help me run the tea shop, but also take care of you, which is a good thing."
Hearing this, Chang Gong quickly waved his hands and shook his head, "How can this be? Opening a tea shop is a big deal, how can it be such a trifle?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chang. In fact, after I arrived in Suzhou City two days ago, I have seen the current situation of the market in the city. There is a shortage of tea in the north, and there are few channels to buy tea. My regards."
Chang Gong frowned slightly, and Jiang Ning said again: "I also decided this matter after careful consideration. Businessmen seek profits, so how can I do business at a loss?"
Hearing this, Mr. Chang's face softened, and his firm refusal seemed to have begun to loosen gradually. After thinking about it, he said: "The custom of drinking tea in Suzhou is indeed prevalent. As you can see, even if there are no guests at home, ordinary people Tea should be brewed at least two or three times a day, not to mention four or five times at least, seven or eight times at most after guests come, and the tea leaves are consumed quickly."
He said, half-closed his eyes, and continued: "Drinking tea is as indispensable as eating and drinking water every day. If you don't drink tea for a day, you won't be able to do anything well."
After Jiang Ning heard this, he simply chatted with Chang Gong about the situation of tea in Suzhou. The two chatted in the yard for a long time, and Chang Gong's previous worries were dispelled. At this time, Chang Xiuzhi also washed up. Bowl, come out from the kitchen.
When Chang Gong saw him, he waved to him and called, "Come here."
Chang Xiuzhi didn't know what he was going to do, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at the broom before, Chang Gong laughed and scolded angrily: "I won't beat you, come here."
Only then did Chang Xiuzhi feel relieved, came over as he said, and said in a good voice, "Grandpa, if you have something to say, please say it." He is such an adult, and he was beaten by a broom in front of the shopkeeper, and he had no place to put his face okay?
Jiang Ning couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Chang is doing it for your own good. I just told Mr. Chang that you can stay."
Chang Xiuzhi's eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"
Jiang Ning nodded and continued: "At the beginning, I thought about setting up a tea shop in the north. The tea in the north is scarce and the price is high. It is indeed a good market. Now that I think about it, I might as well set it up in Suzhou City. Then you Being able to manage the tea shop and take care of Chang Gong can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Chang Xiuzhi's expression was still calm, but with a little joy in his tone, he cupped his hands to Jiang Ning and said, "Then thank you, shopkeeper."
Jiang Ning sat with Chang Xiuzhi for a while, and returned to Suzhou City in the afternoon. On the same day, he found a shop, signed the deed, and ordered a plaque. It can be said to be very fast. The shop is located in the most prosperous part of the market, and the rent is naturally high. , but in Jiang Ning's view, these will be earned back sooner or later, and the first branch of Yu Nian Tea Shop was established in this way.
After the store was sorted out, Jiang Ning recruited a few more clerks and a manager. The manager had an honest personality and was calm and cautious in doing things, but he was a little dull, but Jiang Ning didn't worry too much. Where to go, what's more, Chang Xiuzhi's accounting method was taught by him, so there will be no problem.
After the tea shop got on the right track, it was already the end of June. Jiangning's merchant ships set off again and continued to travel northward. After a month, they finally arrived at the destination of the business, the imperial capital of the Daze Kingdom, Shangjing .
Shangjing is indeed different from other cities, there is naturally a bustling scene at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the sky just got dark, and the boat just landed, the people sent by Shi Tianhua came over, saying that their young master invited Jiang Ning to the Zuixian Tower in Shangjing Syria.
The pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man may not be something he can understand, but Jiang Ning can still feel the sadness from this old man. When Chang Gong saw him coming back, he didn't say much, and exchanged greetings with him as usual. .
Seeing that it was already noon, Mr. Chang invited Jiang Ning to have lunch here.
