The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 322

[Chapter 322: Why not just call it… sweet potato]

“Young Master, Young Master,”

Qian Zheng trembled, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, Fang Xiu took a step forward, patted his shoulder and said, “This matter is of great importance. You must do it with vigilance and do your best. You must not relax, let alone neglect.”

These words were What Emperor Chu originally said was given to him was now handed over to Qian Zheng intact.

After Qian Zheng heard about one thousand taels of silver, he felt very uneasy, but after hearing this, he saw the expectant look in the young master’s eyes.

I don’t know why, he suddenly calmed down, with a firm look on his dark face, nodded, and said very seriously: “Young man must live up to the young master’s expectations!”

The same sentence, said by different people, is the same. Have different effects.

For example, when Fang Xiu said this, others would think it was perfunctory or even frivolous.

But what Qian Zheng said was inexplicably reassuring.

No matter what the final result is, whether sweet potatoes can take root and sprout on this land, as long as he shows this attitude, it will give Fang Xiu more confidence.

“Okay, let’s go down.”

Fang Xiu patted Qian Zheng’s shoulder again, waved his hand and said.

Originally, I always felt a little uncomfortable when others tapped me on the shoulder, but when I patted others on the shoulder, I felt inexplicably comfortable.

“Yes, Master!”

Qian Zheng responded, but did not turn around and leave. Instead, he stood there, hesitating to speak, as if he had something to say.

When Fang Xiu saw him, he asked, “Is there anything else?” Qian

Zheng said hurriedly, “Master, this new crop doesn’t have a name yet. I would like to ask you to give it a name.”

Name?

Hearing this, Fang Xiu was slightly startled, and his face showed a momentary look of trance.

In just a moment, he returned to normal, with a smile on his face, and said: “This thing is red all over, and it is buried underground. It looks like a field mouse, so it might as well be called a sweet potato.”

Compared to Qian Zheng’s joy, on the other side, south of the city The shopkeeper of the fireworks shop had a sad look on his face.

The Fireworks Shop has been open for more than half a month, but the business is still not improving.

Of course

, this is only relative to the kite workshop next to it.

The shopkeeper felt depressed when he thought of the kite workshop.

It opened at the same time, and now the money it brings in every day is almost ten times that of its own store.

Not to mention anything else, there are countless people queuing up at the door every day.

Even the newly opened Beijing Grand Theater has spawned a new breed of professional scalpers.

It’s just that this scalper is not that scalper. In addition to reselling kites, kite scalpers do more work of lining up for others.

Therefore, there is nothing to blame.

Seeing that the business next door is getting more and more prosperous, but my own shop is getting worse day by day.

When it first opened, there were still many residents who took advantage of the excitement to go inside and browse.

When I find one that suits me, I buy one and go home to play with my children.

But as time goes by, the novelty of most people has worn off, and fewer and fewer customers come to the door.

In fact, the shopkeeper himself understands this.

This is not something you can control.

After all, in addition to playing with children, the kites in the Kite Shop can also be placed in the sky and used for promotion by shops. What about your own fireworks?

If it’s a festival, there will be many wealthy people who want to buy it back for good luck, but on weekdays, who is willing to buy this thing that has almost no other function besides being beautiful.

According to the young master, this is called the nature of the product that determines the upper limit of sales.

In the past month and a half, he has finally figured out where the sales of fireworks are headed.

“Hey”

thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh, raised his eyes, glanced at the empty shop, opened his mouth, and wanted to tell the store clerk to go outside and yell.

However, after thinking about it for a while, I gave up.

After all, these fireworks are expensive, and you can’t attract customers with just a few shouts.

But at this moment, a young boy ran in from the door, with a panic look on his face, and shouted loudly: “Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, something bad is going to happen!” When

the shopkeeper heard this, he didn’t take it seriously at all. .

The Fireworks Shop is already like this, no matter how bad it is, how much worse can it get.

So, he glanced at the waiter and said angrily: “What do I tell you on weekdays? Don’t panic when something happens, stay calm. How can you be so rude when you are in a panic? If others see it, they will think that our house has no rules.” “

When the clerk heard this, he lowered his head and forced himself to calm down. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, “Shopkeeper, a group of people came outside and said they were injured by the fireworks in our fireworks shop. , let us pay!”

The shopkeeper was slightly startled when he heard this, and then asked with a look of surprise: “How many people are here?”

The waiter thought for a while and replied: “A dozen people.”

A dozen people?

The shopkeeper was startled at first, and then became confused.

During this period, the fireworks shop sold less than twenty fireworks in total. How could more than a dozen people be injured?

Could it be that these people came to make trouble?

It’s just that in this capital, he seems to be the only one engaged in the fireworks business, and the income is not good, it can even be said to be bleak. How can he still be hostile to others?

This shopkeeper was originally the manager of Fang Mansion.

These days, no one who can be a manager in a distinguished family like Fang Mansion is without brains.

After just thinking about it for a moment, he realized that the target of this group of people was not his own fireworks shop, but the Fang Mansion behind the fireworks shop.

Thinking of this, a gloomy look appeared on his face, and he ordered the boy: “You will go out through the back door later and go to the Capital Grand Theater to report that someone is causing trouble and ask them to send someone over quickly.”

The south of the city was just a few meters away .

The mansion is not very close, and it takes at least more than an hour to go back and forth. By the time the mansion responds, things here are probably over.

However, the Fang Mansion has many properties in the south of the city. If they are not protected, some blind gangsters will cause trouble. At this time, the guards of the Fang Mansion need to come forward.

Therefore, at the Capital Grand Theater, where conflicts are most likely to occur, and in the square where football leagues are often held, there is a standing guard of Fang Mansion, with a total of fifty people.

Except for a few strong men selected from the victims, most of these fifty people were the original guards of the Fang Mansion. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were veterans who had retired with General Dingyuan.

Dealing with some idle gangsters is a completely dimensionality reduction attack, not on the same level at all.

Therefore, for a long time, the gangsters in the south of the city walked around Fang Mansion’s property.

Whether it’s the Capital Grand Theater, Chunfeng Tower, Zhuxuan Zhai, or your own fireworks house, everything is peaceful.

Yes
