Qin Tian, ​​who was beside him, had already recognized that Xu Fuquan who the eldest wife was talking about was the man who greeted him outside the gate in the morning, the chief shopkeeper of Shengshi Tea Shop - Shopkeeper Xu.

The eldest lady instructed: "Take this young man into the inner room, make a pot of Erquan silver cents, and let the young man taste it! It's a good life to entertain!"

Shopkeeper Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, madam, the little one must greet this distinguished guest." Then he said to Young Master Xie, "Young Master, please come here!"

Xie Gongzi bowed again to the eldest wife and then followed Manager Xu into the inner room.

When passing by Qin Tian, ​​he paused for a moment and looked back at her. Qin Tian felt that when he met his gaze, he raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, and his bright smile seemed to be able to shine. human eye.

Qin Tian didn't dare to look any further and lowered his head.

Xie Gongzi muttered, "Aren't you quite bold?" After speaking, he chuckled softly, took big strides, and followed Manager Xu away.

After he left, Cuiwei whispered to Qin Tian, ​​"This young master looks really good."

Qin Tian flattened his mouth and said softly, "I think the eldest young master is good-looking."

"That's..." Although Cuiwei said so, but there was a look of pity in her eyes.

No matter how good-looking the eldest young master is, there is still no good-looking daughter willing to marry him...

Qin Tian naturally didn't know what she was thinking, she kept looking at the eldest wife, and after seeing her greeting the rest of the guests, she walked to Fan Tian's side, her face was a little gloomy, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Fan Tian lowered his head in fright, standing there and didn't dare to move.

The eldest wife looked at him, then looked back at Qin Tian, ​​and said, "There are many guests here, come with me first."

After the eldest wife finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards Qin Tian. Fan Tian followed closely. When the eldest lady passed by Qin Tian, ​​she said coldly, "Qin Tian, ​​come here too!"

Qin Tian didn't dare to say more, turned around and walked to Fan Tian's side, the two looked at each other with apologetic eyes.

The two followed the eldest wife to the backyard, all the way to the room where the eldest wife usually worked.

The eldest lady sat down on the sandalwood scroll chair and looked at the two of them coldly.

Fan Tian and Qin Tian both lowered their heads, not daring to let out the air under the sharp eyes of the eldest wife.

Yueniang and Cuiwei stood behind the eldest wife, watching them anxiously.

Both of them knew that the eldest wife was very strict in the tea trade. Once, when a man neglected the guests, the eldest wife actually transferred him to the tea team, no matter how much effort it took to train a man. Qin Tian had bumped into his wife once, and he didn't know how his wife would punish her.

Although Qin Tian hasn't been in the yard for a long time, she is a little girl who never talks too much, just works hard, and has a cute smiling face all day.

At this time, the eldest wife looked at Fan Tian with a heavy tone: "You are an apprentice, you should know that apprentices who are not yet full teachers cannot directly contact guests!"

As soon as the words came out, Fan Tian knelt down to the eldest wife with a "thump" and kowtowed heavily, "Ma'am, it's all my fault, I offended the guest, Qin Tian will help me, and the wife will punish me if I want to. Me, it's none of Qin Tian's business!"

Qin Tian was startled, but he didn't expect Fan Tian to be so loyal. Seeing him kneeling down, she had no choice but to kneel down, so as not to appear too unruly.

The eldest lady looked at Qin Tian again, "Qin Tian, ​​what do you say?"

Before that, Qin Tian had thought about how to get through this difficulty, but after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that this might be his chance!

No matter how good a maid is, she is still a maid. The big deal is to rise from a third-class maid to a second-class maid. If you are lucky, you can still be a first-class maid, but after all, you are a slave and cannot escape the fate of being manipulated by the master. To be honest, even though Qin Tian has always reminded himself to do his duty and keep a low profile, could he be a slave for life with such a low profile duty? Then the master will point it to another slave, and he will give birth to children and grandchildren.

Of course, there is another way, that is to climb into the bed of the master and young master, be a concubine, use all your strength to lift the mistress, seduce the young master, give birth to a son, if you are lucky, you can also wear gold in the house. Wearing silver, orders the servants.

For Qin Tian, ​​the former path is humble and the latter path is humble, neither is the life Qin Tian wants.

So why didn't she try another route?

Qin Tian first kowtowed to the eldest wife, then raised his head to look at the eldest wife and said, "Ma'am, it's true that Qin Tian bumped into the guest, but it's not wrong for Fan Tian to greet the guest. The slave thinks, even if it's wrong, it's wrong. It's not about him, it's about the management of the tea shop, there is something wrong with the way the tea shop operates, that's why this kind of thing happened today!"

The eldest wife was stunned, and quickly lowered her face: "What did you say?"

Later, Yueniang and Cuiwei both turned pale. The tea shop has always been in charge of the eldest wife. If there is a problem with the operation of the tea shop, doesn't it mean that the eldest lady is wrong?

"Qin Tian, ​​what can a little girl know about you? Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and apologize to the eldest wife!" Yueniang shouted.

Cuiwei also winked at Angel Qin. Fan Tian next to him saw that Qin Tian dared to be so bold in front of the eldest wife, and saw her eyes widen in surprise, making his eyes even more round.

"Mom Yue, I know you're doing it for my own good, but there are some things I can't help but want to say..." Qin Tian looked at the eldest wife and said respectfully, "The wife is a reasonable person, can the wife let Qin Tian After finishing what I want to say, if Qin Tian is right, it will definitely benefit the tea shop, and if Qin Tian is wrong, it will not be too late for the wife to punish Qin Tian!"

Yueniang wanted to say something, but the eldest lady reached out her hand to stop her.

The eldest wife bent down, looked at Qin Tian, ​​and pointed her finger at her, "Okay, I'll give you this chance, but if you make me dissatisfied, the punishment will be doubled, do you understand?"

"Qin Tian..." Fan Tian whispered beside him, and Cuiwei also stood behind the eldest wife and waved to Qin Tianzhi.

Qin Tian glanced at them, then met the cold and stern gaze of the eldest wife, a little timid in his heart, but still straightened his back: "I understand."

The eldest lady nodded, "Okay, just say what you want to say!"

Qin Tian took a deep breath and said slowly: "The tea shop does not allow apprentices to greet guests. Naturally, he is afraid that the apprentice's inexperience will neglect the guests, but in the situation just now, if Fan Tian didn't come forward, that Mr. Xie might have no one to entertain him. , take a look and leave, don't you also lose customers?"

"Guests like our tea leaves, and they will come back next time. There are many things like this every day, but it's not a big deal, but once you leave a bad impression on a guest, you will not only lose the guest forever, but also affect the prosperity of the world. reputation!"

When the eldest lady said these words, there was no special expression on her face.

"But ma'am, the customer is left out, and the mood is naturally unhappy. When he walks out of this door, he will go to other tea shops. If he receives good hospitality in other tea shops, he may become a regular customer of that tea shop in the future. For us, it can be considered that we have lost this guest forever!" Speaking of these things, Qin Tian's expression naturally revealed a kind of confidence, his eyes radiated brilliance,

"Although Fan Tian is an apprentice and is inexperienced, he has kept the guests well and bought time for the other guys, so I don't think Fan Tian is wrong in this regard! Besides, I think, tea The company's business is so good, it's not enough to have only a dozen people standing in the hall, which has a great impact on the business of the tea store!"

The eldest lady frowned: "I know this too, but it's not easy to train a clerk in the hall. First of all, you have to choose those who are articulate, nimble, and pleasant-looking, and teach them to read, distinguish various types of tea, and identify real people from an early age. Fake, master some tea knowledge and skills, these few years of effort will not be able to fill the teacher."

Even if you leave the school, you will be lost due to illness, virtue, or other reasons. When you reach a certain age, you will not be able to greet guests again without that kind of dexterity. Otherwise, why would she be unwilling to add some more stand-up guys.

At this time, the eldest wife's tone already carried some negotiating meaning, and others didn't hear it, but Yueniang understood it, and she couldn't help being secretly surprised.

Qin Tiandao: "That's why the servant said that there is a problem with the way the tea shop operates."

The eldest lady looked at her, "Then according to you, what should I do?"

What Qin Tian was waiting for was the words of the eldest wife!

She has her strengths, and her strengths can be fully used in this tea shop. As a woman, the eldest wife can manage the prosperity of the world in this era of male superiority and inferiority, and she is respected by most people. Mindfulness and understanding of nature are different from ordinary people.

In that case, why didn't she try to get out of the house of the house and set foot on the big stage of the tea shop?

As long as she can really make achievements in the tea shop, she will not get what she is now. As long as she becomes a useful person, she will naturally be valued by others, and she will have a greater chance of redemption in the future. Even if she cannot regain her freedom, At least the master will never be so casual when treating her!

As long as she has her own value, then she has the confidence to live, no matter how the situation changes, there will be room for her to survive!
