掌柜

掌柜说：『哦！』

The shopkeeper said, “Oh!”

掌柜也不再问，仍然慢慢的算他的账。

The shopkeeper didn’t ask any more and continued slowly working out the bill.

阿苏你向掌柜解释一下

A-Su, explain it to the shopkeeper.

掌柜仍然同平常一样，笑着对他说，『孔乙己，你又偷了东西了！』

The shopkeeper, as usual, smiled and said to him, “Kong Yiji, you’ve been stealing again!”

所以过了几天，掌柜又说我干不了这事。

So a few days later, the shopkeeper said again that I couldn’t do the job.
