Chapter 404 Looking for Auntie
On July 21st, Chi Sheng arrived at Yancheng with Yuanbao.
Although the journey was not very hard, the more than ten days on the water were really grueling.
Yuan Bao also lost the energy he had when he first got on the boat. Now being held in Chi Sheng's arms, his face looked pale, as if he was ill.
"Brother, is Yuanbao okay?" It was the fourth master who spoke.
Seeing the little girl like this, he felt a little uncomfortable.
It would be very uncomfortable for adults like them to run around, let alone a little baby.
"fine."
Chi Sheng shook his head and gently touched his daughter's head.
The group did not rush to the county government first, but found an inn to stay.
After all, we are here to do something, so we can't just go there dirty.
Early the next morning, Chi Sheng took Yuan Bao and several brothers to go out in four groups to inquire about the matter.
It is nothing more than to inquire about the trends of the imperial court and the economy of Yancheng.
Chi Sheng and several brothers agreed on a meeting place, and took Yuanbao to Sanweiju with a small jar of wine.
He remembered that the girl was the shopkeeper of Sanweiju. If he could really negotiate business, everyone's livelihood would be guaranteed in the future.
"Dad, shall we go find grandma?" Yuan Bao lay in Chi Sheng's arms with his head drooped, his little face flushed by the sun.
"Yes." Chi Sheng shielded the little girl from the sun and walked faster.
Liu Da was one of the first batch of clerks, and now he has become a steward.
Zhang Yun was an honest man, so he always followed Wang Sheng to teach new people.
It was noon, and the seats at Sanwei Juli were all packed, and the guys couldn't stop walking among the crowd.
The sun was scorching outside, making the bluestone on the ground very hot. Seeing so many people in the room, Chi Sheng was still a little puzzled.
Aren't they hot?
As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I felt a chill coming over me, blowing away some of the heat from my body.
"Guest sir, how many are there?"
"two."
As Chi Sheng spoke, his eyes scanned the entire lobby.
There was a water tank placed in each of the four corners of the room, and bursts of cold air were coming out.
"Sir, please come this way." Seeing him staring at the water tank on the side, the new guy explained with a smile.
"It's hot, so our shopkeeper specially puts ice in it. With this thing, the room can be much cooler."
Looking at the huge water tank, Chi Sheng was a little surprised.
The price of ice is not low. There are four cylinders in the lobby alone. Could it be that this is a black shop?
Seeing his doubts, the waiter's face became a little prouder.
"Our shopkeeper is really awesome. Now our restaurant has to use more than 30 blocks of ice every day!"
A piece of ice costs about one tael of silver, which is why their shopkeeper is generous enough to be willing to use it like this!
In the whole of Yancheng, where else can you find another place where you can enjoy ice cubes in the summer for just one penny?
"Such a big gesture?" Chi Sheng's eyelids twitched, a little surprised.
The net expenditure for a day is more than thirty taels. This restaurant is probably not simple.
"What do you want to eat, sir? I see that the little girl is a little hot. We also have ice cream that the kids like to cool down. Do you want some?"
"Let's have one." Chi Sheng nodded and was not in a hurry to find someone.
"Hey, okay."
Yuan Bao's face looked better as he sat at the table, staring out the window in a daze.
"Dad."
"What's wrong?" Chi Sheng took a sip of tea and poured another cup for his daughter.
"Drink some tea first."
"Brother Xiaoqi really doesn't like me?" The little girl struggled for more than half a month and finally asked what was in her heart.
"Why do you think so?"
Chi Sheng stopped drinking tea and looked at Yuan Bao in surprise.
He said why the little girl was so depressed all the way. He thought it was because she was not used to the local environment and was not feeling well from the long journey.
From the looks of it, could it be because of Xiao Qi's incident?
"Dad, I am already five years old." Yuan Bao pursed his lips and his eye circles began to turn red.
She didn't want to be sad at first, but when she thought that brother Xiaoqi hated her, she felt uncomfortable.
"I'm not a little baby anymore. I know Brother Xiaoqi just doesn't like me."
"You girl, do you know what liking means?" Chi Sheng was a little helpless because none of the dolls nowadays look like children.
I started thinking about love when I was four or five years old.
When Yuan Bao was three years old, he just thought that the little girl didn't understand, and he finally liked it after seeing a new face.
Now look at it, this little girl really likes that boy Xiao Qi.
And whose daughter wants to get married at the age of five?
Chi Sheng was worried.
My eyebrows were all worried and turned into the character Sichuan.
"I know." Yuan Bao raised his mouth and looked at Chi Sheng with his big round eyes, full of accusations.
She is almost five years old.
Seeing his daughter's appearance, Chi Sheng had two heads and two heads. At this moment, the waiter had already brought a bowl of ice cream, which diverted Yuan Bao's attention.
"Sir, this is the ice cream cheese from your store. Please use it with caution." The waiter smiled and placed the bowl in front of Yuan Bao before continuing.
"If you have any more instructions, just call me."
"Man, I want to ask, is your shopkeeper here? I have something to say to her."
Chi Sheng thanked him and then asked again.
He felt that if he continued to get involved with Yuan Bao like this, he might not be able to fool this little girl.
What kind of love is something that a little baby should understand?
As for these messy things, it’s better to move them later.
"This..." The man was stunned and hesitated.
"Brother, can you help me find my grandma? Just say that Yuanbao misses her." Yuanbao stared at the guy with a pair of big watery eyes, which made people unable to refuse.
"Well, wait a moment." The man scratched his head, but still couldn't say no.
As a result, as soon as he arrived in the backyard, he met Wang Sheng.
"Li Zi, what are you doing here?" Li Zi is his apprentice. This kid is young but he does things neatly. He quite likes it.
"Master, there is a man outside with a little girl looking for the shopkeeper." When Li Zi saw his master coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and recounted what had just happened.
"Really?" Wang Sheng frowned, feeling a little strange.
My boss just got married a few days ago, and this little girl suddenly appeared and said she was here to see my grandma, but she couldn't be someone with ulterior motives.
Wasn't Li Jun jealous of their good treatment and regretting being kicked out in the past? He was still spreading rumors and gossiping about their shopkeeper a few days ago.
As a result, even the restaurant where he worked was investigated, and a dealer in illegal salt was finally caught.
"Yes, the little girl said her name is Yuan Bao and asked me to help her find her grandma."
"Ingots?"
Wang Sheng was stunned, he knew this name.
