Originally, Lin Xiangyi had no intention of bothering Chen Yue, but by chance when she came today, she met Chen Yue washing clothes, and although Lin Xiangyi didn't think there was anything wrong with washing clothes, she always felt that when the morning dawned on the frozen people, the eight children couldn't see it alone, she still had to find a few more people and the women who cooked, and bring Chen Yue, first, to know the roots, secondly, Chen Yue could also help her watch other hired people when she was away, and thirdly, it was also an income for Chen Yue.

Chen Yue has a good heart, Lin Xiangyi has known this for a long time, so when Chen Yue promised her that she would be willing to help when the children go to school in the future, Lin Xiangyi was not surprised at all.

"Godmother, I'm closer to Bangguo's school than here, and those children I brought back are also of school age, and you let Bangguo come to the store to eat for lunch and dinner on weekdays, and you don't have to run back, he also has a companion."

"Well, I'm going to cause you trouble." Chen Yue hurriedly shook her head and said, "Let's talk about it in advance, and the godmother will help you, but you won't charge money." ”

"Godmother, now in Shanghai, I want to find a trustworthy person is too few, and you also have to support your family, I have to pay for anyone I find, there will be a harvest in this world, I don't give you money like anything, don't say anything else, let's have a relationship, don't be so foreign, I have to ask Godmother to help me find a chef again, it's best to have a man, there are many people in this store, if you fire alone, there are more than 20 people in the store, and the woman's strength is small, and she can't bear it."

"Oh, you said that this is a coincidence, the old man Wang in the alley next door was not used to seeing the Japanese rampant in the restaurant a few days ago, this said a few words, was beaten and drove back, he cooked so badly, these days I see that he is also worried about his livelihood in the future, the wife and children at home have to be raised, I will take you to see, as long as you can see it, I think he will be happy."

"It's better to come early than to come early, so the godmother will take me to see it now? Now I take out every day, and I've eaten enough. But can people be trusted? Lin Xiangyi thought in his heart, if the old king can, his daughter-in-law is also cheap, so he simply invited it together, how can he say that this world can stand up and refute the Japanese people, Lin Xiangyi thought, this person has the backbone and sense of justice, and he should be a good person.

"Trustworthy, neighbors and neighbors for decades, godmother will pack tickets with you." Chen Yue smiled and took off the apron on her waist, took Lin Xiangyi into the house and said hello to the old lady in the house, and then took Lin Xiangyi out to find the old king.

When Chen Yue came here, Old Man Wang was cooking food at home, Lin Xiangyi smelled the taste and felt quite good, now she has learned not to rely on Bigu Dan to solve the problem of hunger and satiety, although she will accumulate a small amount of garbage in the body because of food, but the feeling of enjoying food and dining with friends really makes her unable to give up, so now, Lin Xiangyi has gradually had higher requirements in eating.

"Old man Wang, what are you doing at home, I can smell it through the door." Chen Yue greeted the old man Wang in the kitchen with a smile, "Why don't you see your sister-in-law?" ”

"It's the third family, why did you come here today, and you still have guests here?" Old man Wang, who was chatting with Chen Yue quite casually, saw that there were still people behind her, and suddenly became polite and polite, and took a bowl full of crispy meat from the crispy meat that had just been cooked and gave it to Chen Yuedao, "It's nothing delicious, this is not a birthday for the young, the child hasn't eaten meat for a long time, today I take this opportunity to give them two little cubs to satisfy their hunger, come, you can also taste it." ”

Lin Xiangyi said thank you, and followed Old Man Wang and Chen Yue into the hall of Old Man Wang's house with a bowl.

"This girl is your relative? I've never seen it, it's so pretty. "Old man Wang actually knows Lin Xiangyi's existence, after all, the first time he came, he helped Chen Yue drive away the two of Liu Lao's third cousin's family, and this reputation has spread all over the alley, although the daughter-in-law of the family said that the girl's family is too powerful, but the old man Wang admires Lin Xiangyi's character, and the two of the Liu family, the old man Wang, feels that it is not too much to beat the broom out.

"Come, Xiangyi, Godmother will introduce you, this is Old Man Wang, you can just call Uncle Sheng." Chen Yue smiled and pulled Lin Xiangyi to introduce to Old Man Wang, "This girl's name is Lin Xiangyi, she is the one in my family who knows her goddaughter, who studied medicine, and now she has opened a beautiful woman on the street in the French Concession, her business is very good, and this girl's medical skills are also very good." ”

"Does your old Liu recognize his goddaughter? In the past few years, Lao Chen Liu has no news at all, but he sent you a good girl. "Who wouldn't say nice words, to be able to open a shop in the French Concession, Old Man Wang knew with his heels that this person must not be simple, so the more praise the better.

"That's right, it's not easy to make some money outside, and it's not easy for my Lao Liu." Chen Yue smiled and diverted the topic, "Old man Wang, have you found a job?" ”

When it came to work, Old Man Wang was a little sad on his face, and he sighed and said: "It's not easy to find a job for this dry body, no matter how black-hearted the boss used to be, this salary is eighteen yuan a month, and it's enough for a family to save a little, but now, don't say that you don't ask for a salary, as long as you have a job, it's all because of my mouth, I can't control it, I will cause trouble, I can't find it, and my life will be a problem next month." ”

Lin Xiangyi was speechless, this boss is dark enough, the most basic thing she gives to a few girls on weekdays is twenty-five, Liu Yun and Zhang Fang have to be ten yuan higher, and if the business is good, there will be additional bonuses, such a comparison, Lin Xiangyi really feels that this world is really unfair, as far as she knows, this cultural person and people who work in government departments have one or two hundred a month, and this salary gap is really a bit big. If you count some money that is not visible and embezzled, the income gap between this official and the common people is really very different.

"Old man Wang, I also have nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, my goddaughter wants to find a cook, three meals a day, cook for twenty people, salary, you two discuss." Speaking of money, Chen Yue was not good at giving Lin Xiangyi the decision, so she hurriedly motioned for Lin Xiangyi to speak.

However, Old Man Wang was obviously an anxious man, and he didn't wait for Lin Xiangyi to speak, he said: "About twenty people, three meals a day, I don't want much, you give me fifteen yuan, how about eating and lodging?" ”

"Fifteen?" Lin Xiangyi originally thought that she would have to give twenty, after all, the basic salary of the girls in the store is this number, and she also has her commission for serving customers alone, so Lin Xiangyi feels that the basic salary is the least for cooking, as for the godmother, she said that she will not treat her badly, and she has to take care of her own people more, anyway, she also plans to secretly sell some precious drugs in the black market or Xu Da, so she really has no shortage of money to raise people, she has a good heart, and she doesn't like to oppress others to get rich.

"The girl thinks it's too much, then you say a price, I can accept it and go with you." Old man Wang is a cheerful person in his bones, and he mistakenly thought that Lin Xiangyi's surprise was too expensive for her, so he didn't want to give up the initiative to Lin Xiangyi.

Lin Xiangyi is also a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, everyone is like this, she is naturally polite and kind: "I didn't mean that, I can ask one more question, Uncle Wang, how old is your child?" ”

"The eldest is nineteen years old, and now he is going to college, and the younger one is still young, only two years older than your godmother's family, and he has just entered the first year of junior high school." Although Old Man Wang didn't understand the meaning of Lin Xiangyi's question, he still said truthfully.

"Are there any elderly people at home who need to be taken care of on weekdays?" Lin Xiangyi just came out of Chen Yue's house and found that he had missed his godmother, and this godmother called her over, and no one usually took care of her godgrandma, so this would be a detailed question.

"My parents have lived with my eldest brother, and I just need to give me some living expenses every month." Old man Wang smiled and said to Lin Xiangyi, "Girl, don't worry, my ancestors of the Wang family are here, and my parents are on the street of your mother's house, I am an honest person, and I will not do anything to be sorry for my employer." ”

"No, Uncle Wang misunderstood." Lin Xiangyi explained with some embarrassment, "I have a front yard and a backyard in my store, and the front yard basically doesn't need manpower, I mainly took in a few orphans this time, no one took care of me and wanted to find a few people, it was originally a troublesome godmother, but I thought that there was still a godmother to take care of at home, so I asked my godmother to come and take care of my godmother on weekdays, and I went home to take care of my godgrandma if I had nothing to do, so I thought that if Uncle Wang's aunt could also take time out, then we would help me together, the salary for the two of you is twenty a month, including food and accommodation, Children can also come to eat after school, and several children are also lively together. ”

Old man Wang sighed, thinking that this treatment is really good, and it doesn't take much effort to take care of the children, if he promises to his daughter-in-law, he won't even worry about food for three meals a day and forty yuan at home, Old man Wang immediately felt that Lin Xiangyi's doll was really kind.

"Okay, I'll answer for my family, don't worry, she has sharp hands and feet, and she is good at taking care of children, washing clothes, and cleaning up the house." Old man Wang said, "But does this affect your business?" We're not going to be good kids. ”

"On weekdays, everyone goes to school, and there is not much trouble, mainly at noon and evening, my store is an appointment service, generally there are no people at these two points, and my front yard and backyard are separated by a corridor, planted with bamboo forests, which does not affect the front yard, and the backyard also has a gate to enter and exit, which does not affect each other." Old man Wang is a caring person, Lin Xiangyi naturally replied more patiently, "If Uncle Wang can call the shots, then we will go to work tomorrow, you and your godmother will come to my store in a while, I will pay the money for buying vegetables once a month, and Uncle Wang will give me a budget and pay it every month." ”

"It's not good." There is a greasy thing in this grocery purchase, and in the past, the purchases in the restaurant were all relatives of the boss, so the old man Wang subconsciously felt that he was afraid of being suspicious in the future, so he hurriedly excused himself.

"What's wrong, I can trust Uncle Wang's character. It's also expensive for me to take out outside, Uncle Wang was introduced by my godmother, I can trust my character, I don't know what is good and what is bad, Uncle Wang understands this, and I have to worry about Uncle Wang in the future. Lin Xiangyi's store is doing well now, and in addition to her salary in a month, her net income is □□ hundred yuan, which is not counting the customers of high-end customers, so it is really not difficult for her to raise a few children and a few people who take care of them.

"That girl, forget it, can I call you Xiaolin?" Old man Wang can also look at people, this will see that Lin Xiangyi is indeed not the cautious person who cares, and he feels that the girl is far away.

Lin Xiangyi said yes, and the old man Wang said: "Since Xiaolin can trust me, then I won't be pretentious, what are your requirements for the quality of the food?" I'll make a preliminary budget for you, so I'm going to work tomorrow, so I went to the morning market early to buy the day's supply. ”

"There are nine girls in my store, add me ten, eight children, plus your family and the country, that is, eleven, two godmothers and grandmothers, two uncles Wang's family, and this is the number on weekdays." Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "In terms of quantity, I hope to have meat and vegetables, now it is not easy for everyone, don't save too much on eating, but don't waste too much, just cook at home." ”

When Chen Yue heard that Lin Xiangyi counted her mother-in-law as well, she hurriedly said no, but she said that she couldn't help Lin Xiangyi, and in the end she could only listen to Lin Xiangyi's arrangement.

Old man Wang calculated quickly, this is rice, noodles, vegetables and meat, and it didn't take long to figure it out: "Five a day for five, will it be too expensive?" ”

Lin Xiangyi calculated it himself, these thirteen adults and eleven small ones, five yuan a day is really not expensive, so he simply said: "It's not expensive, I'll give Uncle Wang three yuan today, let's eat it for two days first, where is it less than enough and needs to be adjusted, I'll add money." ”

Lin Xiangyi directly took out three yuan from his pocket and handed it to Old Man Wang, and said with a smile: "Then tomorrow's will be entrusted to Uncle Wang, you can decide what you eat, and the taste will be good, but although I am open at nine o'clock in the morning, the girls usually come after eating, so it is the children and me on weekdays, and Uncle Wang may have to be a little earlier, after all, the children go to school early." ”

"It's no problem, I can't sleep when I'm old, I wake up at five o'clock every day." Old man Wang carefully put away the money and said, "You sit and eat meat first, and I will call the old woman back, and I will take her to the door in a while, and I will directly buy vegetables and go to the store tomorrow morning." ”
