Chapter 49: The Helper
Murong Xiaoxuan looked at Sister Shi's condemning eyes and was speechless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info She opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start. If I knew this, it was better to make it clear to Sister Shi from the beginning. Well, now, I didn't tell her in detail at that time to save trouble. Is this considered digging a hole by yourself, but you ended up falling into it?
What happened to me is really not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. It's just a way to deal with it, and it's probably not acceptable to the public. Murong Xiaoxuan thought about it, but decided not to explain.
Senior Sister Shi looked at Murong Xiaoxuan and lowered her head in annoyance, thinking that she already knew that she was wrong. I didn't say anything more, and some things could only be pointed. If you talk too much, it is easy to arouse the disgust of others, but it is not beautiful.
She thought that Murong Xiaoxuan was pregnant, so she didn't let her into the kitchen anymore. Just ask her to help greet guests, collect money or something.
"Little lady......" and other customers in the store have left, and no customers have come to the door. Sister Shi wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen.
Murong Xiaoxuan shook the goosebumps on her body, and finally couldn't help but interrupt Sister Shi's words: "Sister Shi, you still call me Sister Murong as before, or just Murong, I really don't get used to listening to this 'little lady'." ”
"Murong, that's right. My parents have two eldest nephews, one is nineteen years old and the other is twenty years old. They had been working as servants in the landlord's house before, and the landlord had quit them a few days ago on the pretext of excuses. Isn't your shop about to be renovated, and I'm wondering if I can find something to do for the big one in the store. I'll stay in the store to help me with the little one, you see......" Sister Shi wiped the sweat from her forehead, Murong Xiaoxuan is indeed not very old, since she is not allowed to call her 'little lady', she is embarrassed to call her 'big sister' again. After thinking about it, it is better to call her 'Murong', touched her face and said to Murong Xiaoxuan.
It's hard to find things now, and the two eldest nephews of her mother's family are loyal, but they're too wooden and can't speak. She thought that Murong Xiaoxuan's store was not being renovated, it was opened, and she would definitely not be able to be busy by herself, not to mention that she was still pregnant with a child. Thinking that she is a woman alone in Beijing and pregnant with a child, she must need to find a helper.
It just so happened that her two eldest nephews were looking for jobs, and then she thought of them. Of the two eldest nephews, the eldest only got married last year, and the niece and daughter-in-law have been taking care of the housework at home. is also an extremely virtuous woman, if Murong Xiaoxuan wants to give birth in the capital, she can also call her nephew and daughter-in-law to serve her. If she weren't a person who knew the roots, she wouldn't dare to introduce it to ordinary people.
It just so happened that Murong Xiaoxuan didn't want to fry rice in the store for the sake of the fetus in her womb. Even if she was willing, when her belly was big, she wouldn't be able to continue to help Sister Shi fry rice. But now that the business in the store is so good, only Sister Shi and Li Xiaochuan's mother and son can't be busy. Now that she has found someone to help her, Murong Xiaoxuan is also happy for her.
"Yes, Sister Shi, I believe in your vision. Well, see when he can come to work. I mean let him learn how to scramble eggs and fried rice with you at your place first, and when my side opens, he will go straight over and take charge of it. What is the salary...... I don't know how much the boss is paid. Anyway, I will give him the salary of the master, and I will give him as much as others give, do you think it's okay? "Murong Xiaoxuan is worried that she can't find a suitable person, since Sister Shi has someone who knows the roots, it saves her a lot of trouble.
Sister Shi: "How can he afford to be paid by the spoon, you can give him a big salary, you can look up to him." ”
"How can this work, I invite outsiders to please. Give as much as you want, I can't make it difficult for you to be a person in the middle. Murong Xiaoxuan did not accept Sister Shi's suggestion, since she wants to use people, she must let others do things with peace of mind. You can't chill other people's hearts because of a few wages.
Murong Xiaoxuan put her hand on her abdomen and felt the fetal movement: "Sister Shi, I also want to find a woman to help with cleaning, washing dishes or something in the store." It's best to be married, and you can take care of me for confinement at that time. It's just that the salary has to be paid once every six months, I don't know if you have a suitable person, Sister Shi? ”
Everything else is okay, but it is paid once every six months, and it is estimated that it is not easy to find someone. However, Murong Xiaoxuan had no choice, she only had a total of one hundred taels of gold, and she spent ninety taels of gold on the store. Of the remaining ten taels of gold, five taels of gold were used for store decoration. When the new store opens, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, everything will cost money. Murong Xiaoxuan really can't help it, she really hates less money when she uses it.
"That's it, Murong, my eldest nephew just got married last year, and that nephew and daughter-in-law have been taking care of the housework at home. She doesn't have any children now, and she doesn't have in-laws to honor. Why don't I help ask her if she's willing? If she wanted to, it just so happened that they didn't have to be separated for a long time. As soon as Sister Shi heard Murong Xiaoxuan's words, she thought of her eldest nephew and daughter-in-law.
If the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law can also be brought over to help, not only can the economic situation of their small family be improved, but the young couple will not have to be separated. Sister Shi is ninety percent sure that her eldest nephew and daughter-in-law will not refuse this matter.
As for the salary, Murong Xiaoxuan's situation, Sister Shi also knew that she basically spent the one hundred taels of gold that the emperor rewarded her in the new store, and she really didn't have much money in her hands now. Sometimes, she had to admire Murong Xiaoxuan's courage.
But the prospect of Mu egg fried rice, Sister Shi is still very optimistic. Take the business of her shop, whether it used to prepare 50 bowls a day, or now she prepares 150 bowls a day, there is no day when it will not be sold.
And the location of Murong Xiaoxuan's new store is much better than the location of her small store, which is a real downtown area, so there is no reason why the store opened by Murong Xiaoxuan is not profitable.
"Then it's hard for Sister Shi." As soon as Murong Xiaoxuan heard Sister Shi's words, she felt that there was no more suitable candidate than her eldest nephew and daughter-in-law.
The two young couples can do things together, and it is estimated that they can't ask for it. Murong Xiaoxuan saw that the egg fried rice in Sister Shi's store had been sold out, and thought that there would be nothing to do next, so she said hello and went back.
Although Murong Xiaoxuan's store has not yet opened, there is still a lot of preparatory work that has not been done in the early stage. For example, which family's rice should be used for rice; Which family's eggs should be used for eggs; Which green onion should be used? This needs to be investigated by her family, whether she can make an excellent bowl of egg fried rice, but it depends on whether these ingredients are selected well or not.
So in the next few days, Murong Xiaoxuan shuttled through various food stores every day. Fortunately, as soon as everyone heard that she was opening a store, they were willing to give her the materials on credit first and agree to the monthly settlement. This made Murong Xiaoxuan, who didn't have much silver in her pocket, breathe a sigh of relief.
"Rong'er, I heard that you have a shop. Isn't that the one? Murong Xiaoxuan was flipping through the yellow calendar at the counter, looking at which day it would officially open, when she heard a familiar voice coming from the door.
