Taking advantage of Zhao En's busy boiling hot water in the kitchen, Zhao's sister-in-law took out today's account books and reported to Lin Mo that she had collected a total of 38 taels and 44 coins and 8 cents of silver today, excluding various costs and expenses, and the actual profit was 221 yuan.

Lin Mo nodded after hearing this, and said with a smile:

"I just earned a river fish feast today."

"What river fish feast?" Zhao En asked as he entered the door.

"It's Yuelaiju's signature dish, a total of thirty-six dishes, all made of fish, a total of twenty taels of silver."

Zhao En was a little surprised when he heard this: "Twenty taels of silver? I didn't expect that there would be such a luxurious banquet in Chennan. ”

"By the way, is these twenty taels today's profit?" Zhao En asked curiously.

Sister-in-law Zhao glanced at Zhao En, and Zhao En realized that she had said the wrong thing, and looked at Lin Mo very apologetically.

Lin Mo said indifferently:

"It's okay, Brother Zhao is now the shopkeeper, and he should know these account information, in addition"

Lin Mo paused and said, "In the future, I will give you at least twenty taels of wages every month." ”

In fact, Lin Mo originally planned to give the husband and wife 10% of the profits, that is, one percent, according to the shareholding system in the previous life, but Lin Mo himself was not sure what would happen to the restaurant business in the future, if it was a loss, the husband and wife would also lose, and the two of them still had a small tycoon to take care of, and their lives were under a lot of pressure.

It is better to first follow the basic salary plus commission, a basic salary of twenty taels of silver per month, plus some additional silver rewards. In this way, they can get a good income every month, and their lives will be much better.

The husband and wife originally refused, but Lin Mo insisted on doing so, and the two had no choice but to agree.

In this way, for about six or seven days, Shi Weitian has already gained a firm foothold in Chennan, and there is no need for Lin Mo to work hard anymore in terms of business, and Lin Mo can also take a break to do other things.

The first thing Lin Mo had to deal with was Zhao Heng's academic problems, and he had to arrange Zhao Heng as soon as possible and study early.

On this day, Lin Mo took Zhao Heng to receive some gifts and took Zhao Heng to study at the mentioned Li Xiucai.

When he came to Li Xiucai's house, Lin Mo heard the sound of reading aloud.

Lin Mo knocked on the door, a middle-aged man opened the door, and Lin Mo said:

"This eldest brother, I came with my nephew to study from Mr. Li today, I don't know if you can help us introduce him."

"Then come with me."

The man glanced at the gifts that Lin Mo and the others were holding and returned to the house with their hands behind their backs, and Lin Mo and Zhao Heng also followed. Passing by the side hall, a group of teenage children were shaking their heads and reading, and Zhao Heng looked at it with a blazing light in his eyes.

The two of them came to the main hall and sat down, and the man sat in the main seat, next to which was a vermilion lacquer desk with a cup of steaming tea.

Lin Mo knew at a glance that this person was Li Xiucai, so he took Zhao Heng to bow down. The man picked up the teacup and didn't look at Lin Mo, and the two lowered their heads and took a sip of tea.

Lin Mo frowned,

"In Xia Linmo, this time I came to study with my young nephew, and I also asked my husband to accept my young nephew."

"You're Lin Mo?"

Li Xiucai looked at Lin Mo strangely.

"It's down there, I don't know how Mr. knows about me."

Lin Mo was also very puzzled.

"Last time, I had a banquet in the restaurant, as well as many gentry and wealthy businessmen in Chennan, such a sensational event, it is difficult for you to know if you don't know."

Li Xiucai looked at Lin Mo and continued

"I have long heard that Lin Gongzi is talented, and the two adults of the county order and the county Cheng are praised. In that case, why did you bring your nephew to study with me, isn't it to torture me? I'm afraid it's not good to accept Lin Gongzi's nephew. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Heng intentionally or unintentionally. Lin Mo heard that he was tired of it, and here Li Xiucai estimated that it was because he was praised by the county magistrate and the county, and he had some fame among the scholars in Chennan.

If he accepts Zhao Heng, it means that Lin Mo can't teach by himself, but he can teach, doesn't this show that he is more talented than Lin Mo in disguise.

Doesn't that mean that Zhou Xiancheng, a lifter, is almost the same as his own showman? In this way, it is equivalent to offending Zhou County, and offending people like Zhou County.

So Zhao Heng is a student, and he can't accept it.

Although Lin Mo doesn't agree with this truth, it is an invisible iron law for these readers, safeguarding the interests and privileges of readers from different classes.

However, Lin Mo heard that there was something in Li Xiucai's words, and he just said "it's not easy to collect" instead of "can't be accepted".

So Lin Mo took out the gift and the silver wrapped in red paper and put it on the table next to him, Li Xiucai's eyes were immediately attracted, and his eyes were full of greed.

Lin Mo secretly glanced at Li Xiucai with disdain when he saw it, and put the silver back in his sleeve.

Then he got up and said goodbye to Li Xiucai

"Since Mr. Li has difficulties, it is not easy to force them. There are a lot of disturbances this time, and when my young nephew and I are going to visit a good friend, I won't bother Mr. Li. In the future, if there is a chance, I will definitely set up a banquet to invite Mr. Li to exchange and learn. Xiao Heng takes his things, come back with me. ”

As soon as Zhao Heng heard this, he immediately picked up the gift and followed Lin Mo and walked out. Li Xiucai was suddenly at a loss by Lin Mo's actions, he never expected Lin Mo to leave so directly,

"Could it be that my own words are too vague."

Li Xiucai thought to himself. After Lin Mo and the others came out, Zhao Heng couldn't help laughing,

"Uncle Lin, you are so bad, you entertained that Li Xiucai so much, then Li Xiucai's face turned green when he saw us leave."

Lin Mo also laughed when he heard this, this Li Xiucai is a master who sees money, and he is not afraid of spending money, but he is worried that if Zhao Heng follows his conduct, it will be over if he is taken by Li Xiucai, and he is really not at ease when such a person hands over Zhao Heng to him.

Lin Mo took the gift from Zhao Heng's hand,

"It seems that you will have to be a few days late to enter the school, don't worry, let's find a good gentleman with good conduct, don't look for such a guy to be a gentleman. Xiao Heng remembers, you can be unlearned, but you can't be without character. ”

Zhao Heng listened and nodded seriously.

Lin Mo blamed himself a little, then Li Xiucai still had some truth in what he said, he was famous, but it was difficult to send Zhao Heng to school, I am afraid that few people in Qian Nan would dare to accept Zhao Heng into school, but there are no absolutes, and if you look for it yourself, you may be able to find a private school that is willing to accept Zhao Heng.

Lin Mo shook his head and took Zhao Heng, and the two went back to the restaurant with the gifts.

Zhao En saw that the two of them were back, still carrying gifts, and were a little puzzled, Lin Mo explained briefly and told him to rest assured that he would take Zhao Heng to other people's places to see again. Zhao En and his wife also understood Lin Mo's good intentions after hearing this, and they were also grateful to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo is now thinking about where to find a suitable teacher, and now it is estimated that the county school is left to accept Zhao Heng, but it needs to be recommended by others to take the unified exam, and now that the time for the exam has passed, do you want to ask Song County Ling and Zhou County Cheng yourself?

Lin Mo will never go back to beg them unless he has to, after all, he doesn't want to have too much to do with officialdom, and Lin Mo has already seen the terrible officialdom.

Lin Mo sat on the bench in a daze, without a clue.

At this time, a fragrant wind hit, and Lin Mo couldn't help but sniff it with his nose, a very familiar smell, but he couldn't remember where it was.

At this time, Zhao En said: "Why is the second lady free to come over today, do you want to try the new dishes in the store?" ”

Lin Mo turned his head to see that Ma Ruoya was leading Liu Xin'er to stand next to him and stared at him.

Lin Mo hurriedly got up to greet him, and Ma Ruoyan smiled:

"I heard that there was a new dish in the restaurant, so I came here to try it. Genius, why are you in a daze here, why are you worried? ”

Lin Mo led the two to the private room, and then briefly talked about today's encounter.

As soon as Ma Ruoya heard that it was for Zhao Heng to go to school, and listened to Lin Mo's story, Ma Ruoya thought for a while, and then giggled.

Then she rolled her eyes and said, "The little woman knows a place to go, so that Xiao Heng can enter the school and avoid the worries of the big talent." ”

"Oh, where is it? Could it be a county school? ”

"What are you thinking about, how did Xiao Heng get into the county school at his age, and it will do no harm if he really enters."

Ma Ruoya looked at Lin Mo like a fool.

Ma Ruoyan said that the minimum age for county school is also twelve years old, and it needs to have studied Mongolian studies and have certain attainments. Zhao Heng is still too young now, and it will only be a waste of time to go.

Lin Mo looked at Ma Ruoya eagerly, and Ma Ruoyan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten, our Ma family's home school?" ”

"That's right, the gentleman of your family school is Wu Fuzi, and he used to be the gentleman of the county school. How did I forget him, but it's your home school, can Xiao Heng go if he is an outsider? ”

Ma Ruoya looked at Lin Mo a little helplessly:

"Have you forgotten that you are my cousin! Xiao Heng is your nephew, and there are still some relatives on the surface, and the Ma family's school is not only for the people in the family, but also for some talented teenagers to go in and train, and do things for the Ma family in the future. ”

Lin Mo suddenly realized when he heard this, so he hurriedly called Zhao Heng over, saluted Ma Ruoyan to express his gratitude, and then stuffed the gift to Ma Ruoya.

Ma Ruoya looked at these gifts and looked at Lin Mo with some amusement: "Great talent, do you think I lack these things?" ”

Lin Mo shook his head

"I know that there is no shortage of Second Miss, these are entrusted to you to bring to Master Wu, please give him more guidance to Xiaoheng."

Ma Ruoyan was stunned for a moment when she heard Lin Mo's explanation, and said angrily and funny: "Are you looking for happiness there?" Your words have broken my body completely."

Lin Mo smiled: "Of course I want to thank the second miss, I will let the second miss cook a meal, no, I will personally cook it for the second miss, and the second miss will not charge any money for dinner in the future, Xin'er, you can accompany the second miss here." ”

Liu Xin'er reacted to Lin Mo calling herself,

"Huh? What's the matter? Brother Mo? ”

Lin Mo looked at Liu Xin'er strangely,

"I, let you talk to the second lady here, and I'll make you something to eat."

"Oh, I know, Brother Mo, go ahead."

Liu Xin'er nodded, Lin Mo glanced at Liu Xin'er suspiciously, turned around and went to the kitchen, Zhao Heng also went to help his mother collect the bills, and in a blink of an eye, Ma Ruoya and Liu Xin'er were left in the private room.
