Chapter Seven: The Story of Wu Dalang's Concubine (7)
Volume III: Underworld Shock
Chapter 7 Wu Da Lang Concubines (7) Asking for Votes
In the evening, Wu Dalang couldn't take care of eating, so he took Xiao Er to hire a few ox carts to buy fresh vegetables and live chickens and fish in villages outside the city. He was sent back to the shop in the city overnight, and it cost more than 200 yuan to bribe the yacha guarding the city gate alone.
Fan Jinyan also went out to hire people as soon as he put down his chopsticks, he was too busy and tired today, and if he didn't hire a few helpers, he didn't even want to do it.
The miscellaneous helpers are easy to find, and the neighbors find five people as soon as they shout, but the chef is a little difficult. Generally, men in the family don't know how to cook, but women can only cook for their relatives, and if outsiders know that what they eat is made by other women, then his shop will be considered to be the end. Because, in the eyes of the Song people, women cook and other men cook, and they are worse than prostitutes. Of course, the exception is for guests who come to their own home.
"Master Niu, this helper is here, but the chef, I'm really in trouble, do you know that there can be a chef there!" Fan Jinyan asked the chef in the store, Master Niu.
This chef Niu is also an honest man, and he also hopes that there will be a helper in the store to help him share some of the burden, so he said: "The shopkeeper, cooking skills are not only family heirlooms, but also someone specializes in teaching cooks." Master Wang in the east of the city specially took in some children from poor families and taught them cooking. ”
Fan Jinyan was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Master Niu to Master Wang's house, now time is money, one step slower, tomorrow will make a lot less money.
Soon, the two of them took a small road to Lao Wang's house, and since it was already night, the gate of Wang's house was already locked.
Knock knock knock......
Fan Jinyan stepped forward and buckled the door.
Soon. An old voice came from inside.
"Who...... Huh? ”
"The junior is the shopkeeper of the Chengnan Hotel, and he came to ask Wang Lao for a few apprentices." Fan Jinyan hurriedly expressed his intentions.
Crunch. The door opened, and a mick came out. An old man with a white goatee.
"It's so late, the old lady has already fallen asleep."
Fan Jinyan also knew that it was too late, but the time was urgent, so he could only beg bitterly: "It's bothered, it's really a last resort, and I hope the old man will report it." ”
Although the old porter was full of complaints, he still opened the door and led them to the hall, and said a word, wait a moment. I went into the backyard to report it.
Soon, Master Wang dressed in civilian clothes and entered the hall. Looks like I've fallen asleep just now. As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly asked, "I heard that you want to hire a chef?" I don't know which store the shopkeeper is. ”
Fan Jinyan hurriedly got up and clasped his fists and said: "That's it, I ordered the shopkeeper in the east of the city the day before yesterday, and it just opened today, but there are not enough people, so I came to your mansion overnight to hire two chefs." ”
"You're the shopkeeper of a fast-food restaurant? Wu Song who took down Lao Xu's shop for a penny? Master Wang was surprised.
"It's down here, and I hope that Master Wang will help." Fan Jinyan smiled.
Master Wang said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a talented person!" Just a few days. Your Excellency's name is known to everyone, and everyone knows it! It just so happened that two of the old man had already completed their studies, so I sent someone to summon them. However, the old man had a reluctant request. ”
Fan Jinyan was stunned. Why did the ancient people have this hobby, and they all had reluctant invitations, can't they still give me a girl? Although I wondered in my heart. But he still hugged his fists and said: "Master Wang, but it doesn't hurt to say." ”
Sure enough, what Boss Wang said. almost didn't let Fan Jinyan bite his tongue.
"The old man has a little girl, who has just come of age. The old man was thinking about finding her an in-law. Today, the virtuous nephew is arrogant, brave and strategic, and he wants to marry the little girl to the virtuous nephew, I don't know what the virtuous nephew wants! ”
Holy, isn't it? Let me guess? I won't be so lucky.
"Uh...... This, Master Wang is very loving, Wu Song is grateful, but this marriage matter is decided by his parents, and Wu Song does not dare to make a decision in private. ”
Master Wang laughed and said, "What the virtuous nephew said is very true, this marriage event should not be a child's play, it should be so." The old man is waiting at home for the good news of his nephew. Hahaha......"
Soon, two young men in their early twenties were brought to the palace, and Fan Jinyan didn't have time to delay any longer, so he left the palace with the two of them in a hurry. As for the employment money, Master Wang didn't say anything, and he also forgot about it, as if he knew it tacitly.
On the way, Fan Jinyan felt that his back was already wet with sweat. I thought, this mission seems to be very lucky, someone sent the house in front, and now someone sends the daughter, is it that someone will send money directly next time? The house can be collected, but the daughter-in-law does not dare to marry indiscriminately, and at this time, you can't look at the appearance before getting married, and the ghost knows what it will be like to marry back. If it is a long crooked melon and oblique jujube, wouldn't it be very sorry for the real Wu Song.
However, this Master Niu kept boasting about Fan's good luck all the way, and kept instigating him to send someone to inform his parents so that he could receive this good fate. However, Fan Jinyan still started a business as a man, and then started a family to block the chattering Master Niu.
Back at the restaurant, Wu Dalang and the others had already moved the ingredients they bought, and they were leading people to wash vegetables, kill chickens and fish, just waiting for the chef to come on the scene.
Fan Jinyan hurriedly arranged for Master Niu to take the two little masters to the kitchen to prepare the things to be used tomorrow first, so as not to be in a hurry like today.
It wasn't until late at night that everyone dragged their tired bodies to rest. Fan Jinyan didn't want to chill the big guy's heart on the first day, so he not only cleaned up the two rooms in the backyard, one for the three cooks to rest, and the other for the helpers to rest. Moreover, each person also gave a red envelope, of course, there are more chefs than helpers, and Master Niu has more than the two little masters.
After the arrangement, Fan Jinyan and Wu Dalang slowly walked home, and on the way, Wu Dalang reported to Fan Jinyan how much money he spent on what he bought.
"Stop, Dalang, don't report this to me, you just know." Fan Jinyan still had the leisure to listen to this, and hurriedly interrupted.
Wu Dalang smiled and said: "That's not possible, what is this to buy, how much money was spent, you have to report it one by one, brother, settle the account." ”
"Wu Dalang, why do you think of me as Wu Song again, don't forget what we came back for. As long as your long-cherished wish is fulfilled, we will still go back, do you understand? Fan Jinyan really couldn't stand Wu Dalang's clumsy appearance, and said in a somewhat heavy tone.
Wu Dalang stayed for a while, and said to himself: "I know, you all think I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid, but I don't know how to say it." Every time I treat you as my brother, it's because I can't rest assured of him. I also know below that he died a miserable death in the end, and I also hope that after we leave, he can run this shop well, get a wife, have children, and live a peaceful life. ”
