Chapter 343 Love at First Sight ([-])
Yonghe Residence is quite a distance from Carpenter Jin’s home. Zhang Chu walked down the streets with Carpenter Jin with a large bag of tools on his back. The sun was scorching outside, but there was no shade of trees along the way.When the master and apprentice arrived at Yongheju, they were sweating profusely, as if they had been fished out of the water.

Manager Zhang has been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Carpenter Jin coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Carpenter Jin has worked hard all the way here. The weather must be too hot. Come here, here is the herbal tea that I made yesterday , Come and have a drink first."

After drinking a cup of herbal tea each, Carpenter Jin and Zhang Chu felt alive.

"Is the cabinet still in its old place on the second floor?" Carpenter Jin asked.

"Yes, we didn't dare to move it where it was, for fear that it would be damaged again." Manager Zhang said, "It just so happens that the window frame is also on the second floor. It's strange to say that it was fine yesterday, and it was fine this morning." As soon as Xiao Cao came here, he found that the window frame was broken and told me. It didn’t rain last night, why it broke for no reason, whether something hit it, really makes people wonder.”

"It's just a broken window frame, so it's not troublesome to repair." Carpenter Jin poured himself a glass of cold water after drinking his herbal tea, and drank it down, "Manager Zhang, please find someone to lead my apprentice Go upstairs and look at that window frame, and I'll fix the cupboard."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Manager Zhang turned around and wanted to catch a young man, but he happened to see Cao Guixiang who was sneaking at the kitchen door and wanted to peek at Zhang Chu, and waved to her: "Guixiang, come here, take this little girl Master Zhang went upstairs to repair the window frame."

Cao Guixiang originally wanted to find a hidden place to peek at Zhang Chu, but unexpectedly, she was caught by Manager Zhang. He touched his face a few times indiscriminately, and grabbed two handfuls of hair as if trying to mess up his hairstyle. Looking better, he walked out slowly with his head down.

"Well, Master Xiao Zhang, I'll take you upstairs." Cao Guixiang said in a low voice, her voice seemed a little weird because of her throat.

"Girl, didn't you feel fine this morning? Why did your voice change like this now?" Manager Zhang asked.

"The second senior brother was frying fish in the kitchen just now, and I choked on it." Cao Guixiang chose to throw the pot to Qin Guisheng.

Zhang Chu went out to repair things for someone for the first time, and he was also very nervous. Just now, he had been digging through the tools in the big bag he dragged, without looking up at all, and he didn't see Cao Guixiang's face clearly.

Cao Guixiang led the way, and Zhang Chu followed behind him. The two of them did not say a word the whole time until they reached the window frame that was probably broken by Cao Guixiang himself last night.

"That's it. When I came this morning, I found that it was suddenly broken." Cao Guixiang opened her eyes and said nonsense.

Zhang Chu stepped forward to check, and the cut was so neat that even Jiang Feng could tell that it wasn't broken naturally, it was probably broken by someone else bumping or knocking it off.

"This fracture doesn't seem to be broken due to damp, but it seems to be broken by something bumping into it." Zhang Chu murmured, and he was just an inexperienced newcomer who had never repaired window frames, so he dared to say to himself Talk to yourself, don't dare to make a judgment.

Cao Guixiang, however, heard Zhang Chu's self-talk clearly, thinking that her petty actions had been exposed by others at a glance, and she was a little flustered immediately, saying indiscriminately: "Didn't there be a heavy rain last month? Maybe it was at that time It must have been damp, and it might have been broken by a bird or something last night, I don’t know, it was already broken when I saw it this morning.”

What Cao Guiqiang said just now was fast and in a low voice, and Jiang Feng only heard the general idea. Zhang Chu was concentrating on looking at the section of the window frame and thinking about how to connect it. Jiang Feng felt that he probably didn't understand what he just said What did Cao Guixiang say?

In other words, he didn't even notice what Cao Guixiang said.

After Cao Guixiang finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Chu nervously and with some expectation, hoping that he could answer her, but Zhang Chu kept staring at the window frame and ignored her at all.Cao Guixiang thought that Zhang Chu thought she was too long-winded and didn't even bother to reply politely, so she left with a distraught and sad face.

Jiang Feng wanted to see how Zhang Chu would react when he found out that Cao Guixiang was gone, so instead of following Cao Guixiang downstairs, he stood beside Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu stared at the break of the window frame, looked left and right for a few minutes, then turned around and asked, "Comrade, your store..."

"Hey, where's that comrade just now?" Zhang Chu looked confused.

Unable to find Cao Guixiang, Zhang Chu relied on his own efforts, walked towards the gold carpenter, and asked loudly, "Master, where do you have..."

Jiang Feng didn't hear the rest, because he had already rushed downstairs to see what Cao Guixiang was doing.

When Jiang Feng came, he noticed that there were very few guests in Yongheju today. There is no table of guests on the 2nd floor, and there is only one table of guests eating on the 1st floor. In theory, it should be because I didn’t meet Mr. Che on the opposite side during the time of storytelling. It must be because the weather is too hot, so hot that customers don’t want to go out to eat , It was so hot that Mr. Che missed work and stayed at home to enjoy the cool.

The absence of customers meant that the back kitchen must be very idle. As soon as Jiang Feng walked into the back kitchen with ease, he saw Cao Guixiang and Qin Guisheng sitting in a row with two small stools drinking herbal tea.

"What should I do? He must think I'm very long-winded. Does he not want to see me or talk to me in the future? If the window frame of our store still breaks in the future, would he come to repair it?" Cao Guixiang held the window in his hands. Teacup looked sad.

Qin Guisheng almost spit out the herbal tea in his mouth when he heard her last sentence, and he stuttered.

"Master...Master...Junior Sister, the window frame of our shop has to be broken?" Qin Guisheng thought about it in his heart, if the two of them secretly did things last night were discovered by Master, because of Master's love for Junior Sister, they might be killed To keep people, but for him, it is probably a pain to kill and kill relatives righteously.

He was only in his 20s, and he only held hands with Amin. The two were not engaged yet, so they couldn't just die like this.

"Of course it has to be broken!" Cao Guixiang said, "I went to ask Manager Yin yesterday. Carpenter Jin won't take on other jobs after taking over the job of Qiangong Bed made by her. Qian Gong Bed is going to Manager Yin. It was built in another courtyard of our house, and it is not the same road as ours, and he will never pass our street on his way back from now on, nor will he stay there to listen to Mr. Che's storytelling."

"Little junior sister, don't be impulsive, let the second senior brother do the calculation for you. When you led him up, did he say anything to you?" Qin Guisheng asked.

"He just told me 28 words: 'This fracture doesn't seem to be broken due to damp, but it seems to be broken by something bumping into it.', just 28 words." Cao Guixiang looked sad.

Qin Guisheng:? ? ?

Are you sure this is speaking to you and not to yourself?

"Emmm, this is..." Qin Guisheng didn't know what to say for a moment, "But no matter what, we can't smash the window frames anymore. Anyone in our store would think it strange if the window frames were broken every now and then. Besides, you smashed the window frames." The way the window frame is used is too dangerous, and I even climbed onto the outer wall to smash it, if one day you fall down, I will be finished, Master must not take my skin off."

"What are you doing again? My father wants to skin you?" Peng Changping appeared behind them at some point, "What are you talking about so focused that you didn't even hear when you were eating?"

"It's nothing, oops, dinner is ready, let's go, let's eat quickly, junior sister." Qin Guisheng jumped up after rubbing it.

Probably because of the hot weather, the meals are very simple, stir-fried watermelon rind, patted cucumbers, cold tomatoes and scrambled eggs with peppers. The staple food is white flour steamed buns. There is no soup but herbal tea is enough.

Cao Guixiang gnawed on the steamed bun absently, and picked up a watermelon rind from time to time, her mind wandering.

"Guixiang, what are you thinking? The food is not good." Master Peng tapped the back of her hand with the end of his chopsticks.

"Ah, oh, master, I'm wondering if it's not good for us to eat like this. Should we invite Master Jin and Master Zhang to eat together, they are still working on it." Cao Guixiang said.

"In the past, there was such a rule that the master not only had to pay the money but also had to take care of the food when he came to the door, but now the rules have changed. If the money is paid, he doesn't care about the food, otherwise it will be a bad rule. There is a fixed amount of money and food in our store. If you act like this, it will be difficult to report at the end of the month." Manager Zhang said.

"But I remember that Mr. Zhang doesn't charge money for repairing window frames. Since he doesn't charge money, we have to take care of it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too unreasonable." Cao Guixiang said.

"That's the reason, how about this? The money will be deducted from my salary for this month. Guixiang, you can make a bowl of noodles with fried sauce for Master Zhang later." Master Peng nodded.

Cao Guixiang was excited immediately, finished eating the steamed buns in two mouthfuls, and slipped into the kitchen.

"Master, I'm going to make Zhajiang noodles for Master Zhang!"

"Stop eating?"

"I'm full!"

Master Peng shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "This child, the older he gets, the less he looks good."

Master Wang saw some clues, and smiled mysteriously: "I think it's Gui Xiang who is getting older. Have you seen that little Master Zhang upstairs?"

Qin Guisheng almost choked to death on a mouthful of steamed buns.

"Hey, looking at Xiao Qin's reaction, it seems that Gui Xiang really likes it." Master Wang said.

"Master Wang, don't talk nonsense, I didn't say that, you said that." Qin Guisheng repeated.

"However, if Guixiang really fell in love with that little master Zhang upstairs, it would be a little troublesome. That little master Zhang is a well-known handsome young man in his alley, and there are many little girls who like him." Master Wang said .

Hearing what Master Wang said, Qin Guisheng immediately became unhappy: "Master Wang, look at what you said, my junior sister looks the same... Our Yongheju is famous for being beautiful, besides, my junior sister may be able to transfer in two years at a young age. Now that she has become a regular worker, Zhang Chu is just a carpenter's apprentice who hasn't graduated yet, and has no serious income. In terms of work and appearance, my junior sister is not good enough for that Zhang Chu, it is Zhang Chu who is not good enough for her. "

There is only one female employee, Cao Guixiang, in the entire Yonghe Residence.

Everyone laughed.
