Chapter 53: Take-in
Zhong Chunfeng was laughing at Zeng Yuan, and only said, "What about your kindness?" If you can save this family for a while, can you save a lifetime? The other victims are also short of food and clothing, and I heard that more than 20 people have starved to death every day in the past two days, can you still save them all? You still rely on others to eat......"
Zeng Yuan ignored him, knowing that when this friend had a bad reputation, he was bought off by someone to spread the rumors spread by those poor people, so he always hated these poor people. However, Zhong Chunfeng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and the man suddenly came over and asked such a question, which made him stunned for a while.
"How's it to see? Isn't that just catching up? Hehe, let you abuse kindness. Zhong Chunfeng had nothing to eat, and his mouth was simply used to speak.
When the man at the door heard these words, he couldn't help but plush his face, clenched his fists tightly, took two deep breaths, and turned around to leave.
"Hehe, not only do you ask people to take care of your food, but you also have to be so arrogant......"
Zhong Chunfeng laughed twice, but was glared at by Zeng Yuan, and heard him annoyed: "If you don't say a word, no one will treat you as a dumb person." Not everyone owes you, so why bother? I can't read, and I know how to hurt people with bad words. â
Zhong Chunfeng was silent, and here Zeng Yuan stopped the man, walked up to him and said softly: "I'm sorry, I can't call the shots, so ......" He said this, and suddenly remembered that Xinghua had said to himself two days ago that the store was going to recruit apprentices and find reliable people, although the man and woman in front of him were in their early thirties, but it was also the time when they were in the prime of life. How do you know if you can't learn how to cook? What's more, this man looks simple and honest, not what Zhong Chunfeng said he didn't know, if he really took them in at this time. But it's the grace of life, and I'm afraid that they won't do their best in the future?
When I thought about it like this, I hesitated a little, so I muttered: "Wait a minute, I'll find someone who can speak to the master......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw several carriages turn in at the end of the alley, and they came in this way. When they arrived at the door, several brightly dressed men came out of the car, fat, thin, tall and short. But they are all good-bearing.
Zeng Yuan's heart jumped, and he hurriedly stepped forward, only to see one of them turn his head and look around, and then laughed loudly: "This place is not bad." Bright and quiet. When Gonggong Chen said it, I didn't believe it very much, but now I believe it twice. â
So everyone else hurriedly echoed, and this person turned his head and saw Zeng Yuan, so he smiled and said, "You are the shopkeeper here?" I heard that the shelves of your Baiwei Pavilion are very big, and you have to wait an hour for a meal. Well, we'll just wait for now. â
Zeng Yuan hurriedly and enthusiastically let people in. He said to Zhong Chunfeng again: "You help say hello, I'll call the Xinghua girl to come over." â
Before the words fell, I saw Zhong Chunfeng's eyes roll, and snorted coldly: "Do you think I am the material for greeting people?" Alright, I'll call someone for you, you stay here. After speaking, Shi Shiran walked out, and then turned back and said, "After I finished shouting, I will wander around the street, you leave me some food." â
Zeng Yuan was helpless, so he had to hurry to the kitchen to gather candied dried fruits. And when the people of the stricken family saw these many nobles, they became more and more awe-struck, and hid themselves under a great tree, and looked this way, and after about half an hour, they saw a carriage coming, and then two bright maidens came out of the carriage, and entered the gate like a gust of wind.
"Daddy, I don't think the business of this restaurant is very good, can they take us in?" The woman couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she looked at the dried fruit preserves on the table in the hall, and asked her man softly.
"Those two girls just now seem to be the ones who can call the shots, although this restaurant has few customers, but didn't you hear what the group of people said just now? It's just because the place is remote and the shelves are big, but since such dignitaries and nobles are willing to come over to cheer, then they are still worried that there will be no business in the future? Take 10,000 steps back, even if they don't want us to help, but these guests want a table of food, there will always be a little left, and when the time comes, let's ask for some food, you haven't eaten seriously for three or four days, and the shopkeeper is a good person. â
The windows are open in the spring, so the chatter of those guests floats into the ears from time to time, the more the man listens, the more surprised his face is, Yunzhou is close to the capital, he used to work as a coolie on the dock, and his horizons are also broad, at this time I heard those people talking, it sounds like someone is a court worshipper, that is the imperial merchant, for them these poor people, that is through the heavens of the storage zĂ i.
After a while, the food probably came up, and there were many voices of praise and discussion, and the men and women looked forward to it, and finally looked forward to these people coming out with enough food and drink, and seeing Zeng Yuan send them to the carriage, those people also smiled and praised the unique food here, and only said that they would definitely spread the news for Baiwei Hall after they went back, and left their own names, so that Zeng Yuan could find them if he had difficulties in the future.
This family was even more surprised, a dignified businessman and a few wealthy people could talk so kindly to a young man like Zeng Yuan, at best, Zeng Yuan was just the shopkeeper of a restaurant, how could these people be handed over? The man became more and more sure that this restaurant was not simple, so he wanted to leave, such a place to the sky was not something that their family of refugees could afford.
Because he pulled his wife and children to leave, the wife suddenly disappointed her hopes, very reluctant, looked back frequently, and suddenly saw Zeng Yuan watching the carriage leave, she looked over, she grabbed her husband, sure enough, I saw Zeng Yuan walking a few steps forward and said: "The person who can call the shots is here, we happen to lack two people in the restaurant, you come with me, but I said it first, and I may not be able to leave you all." â
The man was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "We don't dare to have such delusions, we are already grateful for allowing us to do work and change food." The snow crushed our only house, and we had no work in the fields, so there was no way to survive in Yunzhou. â
Zeng Yuan nodded, led the family into the hall, turned left and came to a side hall next to him, only to see a beautiful girl sitting on the top chair, wearing a peach-colored satin gown, a green pleated skirt on the lower body, and two bright golden hairpins on her head. The man and woman looked at each other, and then lowered their heads and did not dare to look again.
Xinghua saw that she had frightened the couple with this gesture, so she slowly put down the teacup and said softly: "What's your name?" Where did it come from? â
"Back to the girl's words, my name is Shi Gui, this is the insider Shi Yang, these are my two sons, the eldest is called Shi Leiluo, and the younger is called Shi Tandang. The daughter is still young, and she hasn't named her yet, so she only calls her Sanya on weekdays. â
Xinghua nodded, this man doesn't look like a scholar, a man who lives honestly, and can give a child a name like Frank and Frank, which means that his heart will not be bad. She asked a few more questions carefully, and even the children did not let go, and finally concluded that this family was very reliable, at least for now, it should be more loyal than herself, so she smiled and said to Zeng Yuan: "Brother Zeng, just accept their family, we will be busy here in the future." The girl said that I would come in the morning and go back in the afternoon from tomorrow. â
"Oh, good." Zeng Yuan hurriedly nodded in agreement, and listened to Xinghua say to the family: "You husband and wife will learn to cook with me first, if you can succeed, you will first have five hundred yuan per month, and then process the money when the business is good in the future; If you can't do it, you can help you get started, three hundred dollars a month. The three children are still young, but you can let them help wipe the tables and chairs, burn the fire and boil the water, just 100 yuan a month, and the food and accommodation are in the store, what do you think? Of course, if you do it well, you will process money in the future. â
This family was just expecting to be able to eat without starving to death, but when they suddenly heard Xinghua say this, this was no longer a surprise of pie falling from the sky, it was simply an escape from death. At that moment, Shi Gui and Yang pulled the child to kneel down together, and Xie Xinghua was in tears like rain, but when he saw her standing up and avoiding the side, he said in a deep voice: "Don't thank me, this is our girl's business, I just take care of it for her, if you want to thank her, when the girl comes, you thank her in person." â
Shi Gui and Yang nodded their heads, here Zeng Yuan watched Xinghua advance and retreat calmly, and couldn't help but envy and like it tightly, when Xinghua got up and looked over, he hurriedly lowered his head again, and said softly: "Since the girl said so, I will go and arrange a room for them." â
"Okay, then it's going to trouble Brother Zeng." Xinghua was very polite to Zeng Yuan, and seeing that he took the family down, she said to Chunyu: "Look at this situation, there will probably be no more guests, let's talk to Brother Zeng later, and go home." The old lady has become more and more unhappy in the past two days, and the girl is in a bad mood. â
Chunyu nodded, gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "The old lady's body, it must be the wife who makes it bad, but we can't find it out hatefully, the Xiao family is going to be hired tomorrow, and the girl will postpone the marriage date, what can I do?" I hope the lord doesn't listen to the girl. â
"It's impossible for the master not to listen to the girl, this is the girl's filial piety. What's more, we feel that the girl should marry as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night, but in the girl's own heart, the old lady is really very important to her, if she really marries in a hurry, I am afraid that she will not be able to untie this knot for the rest of her life, just let it be. â
Xinghua sighed, she knew Gu Qiluo's thoughts very well, because she was walking around the house, she was thinking about why Zeng Yuan hadn't come over yet? I heard a voice outside: "Let you have a good look today, what does this taste only exist in heaven, how many times can you taste it in the world?" Hum! (To be continued......)
