Chapter 223： little gentleman (1/2)

The shop has been open for a few days, and it is sold out every day. Except for the first few days, the sales are relatively slow, and there are not enough sales every day after that, and it is sold out early and closed.

Cheng Bo was afraid of trouble and wrote a sign. As soon as it was sold out, he would put up a sold-out sign at the door, and then quickly closed the door. In case there were any officials with a background to buy it, he had nothing to sell. .

Just closing the door and cleaning slowly can save a lot of trouble.

The last guest had just left today, and before he came and closed the door, another small guest came to the door. Seeing that the little girl was gorgeously dressed, with a large gold collar inlaid with jade around her neck, and the guards beside her were also equipped with knives, he felt a little nervous, this little girl looked extravagant, not like ordinary people.

He quickly stepped forward and apologized respectfully: "I'm sorry, you are late, little noble, and all the vegetables in the shop are sold out."

The little girl looked around in the shop in confusion: "I just heard that you have silver needle vegetables, and they are also open in the afternoon. Why are they sold out so quickly?"

Cheng Bo smiled apologetically: "The small shop only sells 60 kilograms a day. When it is sold out, it will close at any time. There have been many customers coming to the door recently, and the sales are fast. Xiao Laoer is about to close the door."

She frowned and stomped her feet with a displeased expression on her face, "Then why don't I have to run for nothing? No, I don't care, you have to help me prepare a few pounds. My father is not at home, and my mother has a bad appetite recently. , I'm going to buy something to honor her."

"Little old man doesn't dare to deceive the little noble. Today is really gone, there is nothing left, can you come back tomorrow?" He saw the noble's dissatisfaction, and his attitude became more humble.

Seeing the dissatisfied look on the little master's face, the maid behind him said, "Didn't you say that you prepare sixty kilograms every day? Then you can put the preparations for sale tomorrow and give us a few kilograms in advance?"

"It's not that I didn't sell it on purpose to make it difficult for customers. It's really not. Tomorrow's food will not be delivered until tomorrow morning, and it's not available in the store now. Otherwise, I won't have to wait for tomorrow, and I'll just take it out and sell it." , he was about to break out in a cold sweat.

"I don't believe it, you go in the backyard to see if there are any." The little noble said to the servant with the knife behind him.

Cheng Bo didn't dare to stop him, so he could only stand aside and let them go to the backyard to search.

"It's really not, the little old man dare not lie."

"Whose shop does this shop belong to?" the maid asked, glancing at the shop.

To her, the shop seemed too rudimentary, with only a set of tables and chairs, a row of wooden shelves on the wall, and two large wooden barrels leaning against the other wall. I don't know whose family it belongs to, it's too simple, and the more I look at it, the more I frown.

Cheng Bo hesitated to answer.

At this moment, several servants with knives also came out from the backyard, "Qi, the county lord, there is nothing in the backyard."

Hearing the answer from the attendant, Cheng Bo was scared to his knees, knowing that this was a nobleman, but he did not expect to be a little ancestor.

I was very annoyed, how did I summon this ancestor. How can this be good?

The county chief Xuexi put his hands on his hips and said softly, "What about you, who owns this shop?"

Cheng Bo was in a cold sweat and did not dare to answer, for fear of causing trouble to the master.

The maid scolded: "You're a loyal little old man. Our county lord won't embarrass you. We just ask who your shop is, but you don't know whether it's good or bad. You don't say that you will know when the county lord goes to the yamen to check."

Cheng Bo kowtowed, now he didn't dare to hide it any longer. Like she said, the whole of Liaodong is under the jurisdiction of the palace, so it's not easy for a small county to know what to do.

"The villain doesn't dare to hide, the shop belongs to Master Zhou, Commander of Zhaowu."

"Ah?" The little county owner glanced at the maid in surprise, "Caiwei, is it the little brother who saved me on the Yuan Festival? I heard from my mother that their family just got promoted to the captain of Zhaowu, I remember. ."

"Yes, the county magistrate, the eldest son of Master Zhou, the commander of Zhaowu, is the boy who saved you." The maid Caiwei said affirmatively.

As a personal maid, she must not be deaf and blind. She must listen to the master in advance, so that the master can answer directly when he asks. Knowing that the Zhou family was in office, she went to inquire in advance.
