Chapter 42: Jia Ming's Secret
Although Han Fei heard that Jia Ming's voice was a little strange, he only thought that he cared about himself, and said with a smile: "Brother, you think too much, let's not talk about whether I can pass the top prize, that wild and willful girl, I don't dare to ask for it!" β
"Big brother...... You have made a promise......"
"That's just a joke, it doesn't count! Okay, let's not talk about this, I'll go to the restaurant to have a look, you stay in the house to arrange the refining of saltpeter! β
Jia Ming looked at Han Fei's back, with a sad expression on his face, his mood was very low, and he slowly walked back to his room.
Han Fei rushed to Yuelaiju Restaurant, briefly inspected the situation in the kitchen of the guest hall, called the shopkeeper Wu to the meeting room, and explained the situation of the negotiation with He Cuiqin.
"Uncle Wu, it is said that the eldest sister should be consulted for such a big matter in the restaurant, but the eldest sister has already explained, don't ask her about business matters, just discuss with you, what do you think of these plans?"
"Childe is proficient in the way of management, why do you need to ask the old? The cooperation between Gongzi and the He family is the best policy, which not only solves the problem of the shortage of people in charge of our business, but also rapidly expands the business route of cooked food, and the old man is very supportive! β
"The He family is strong, and cooperating with them is an ideal method, and we can also use the deposit they paid to expand Yuelaiju's own restaurant business!"
"Childe, this deposit has to be repaid, how can we use it?"
Han Fei smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, the deposit is nominally to be repaid, but the cooked food business has expanded, and the huge profits are too much, are they willing to give up?" Even if the He family can't renew the contract for some reason, there are other businesses willing to take over! Besides, if the deposit is not refunded before the appointment expires, we have already earned it back for such a long period! β
"Childe Shengming!" Shopkeeper Wu thought about the manpower problem again, and said gloomily: "Childe, even if we have funds, we still lack the person in charge!" β
"It's a big problem!" Han Fei pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Wu, find a reliable shopkeeper as soon as possible, let him take over this restaurant, and you go to Yingtianfu to form a new Yuelaiju restaurant!" After all, the pattern of Gaochun County is too small, if we want to make our business bigger and stronger, it is best to take Yingtianfu as the center! β
Speaking of Ying Tianfu, Shopkeeper Wu seemed to have thought of something sad, and his face was full of sadness.
Han Fei asked suspiciously, "Uncle Wu, what's wrong with you?" β
"Childe, the Liang family originally had several stores in Yingtianfu, but now ...... Alas! β
"Uncle Wu, there is no good flower for a thousand days, there is no prosperous family, ups and downs are normal, as long as the younger generations make unremitting efforts, there is always hope for revitalization!"
"But the Liang family's vein is completely hopeless......
All the men in the Liang family died, not a single man and half a woman remained, only a little widow remained, which was considered to have completely cut off the incense.
In this era, etiquette is strict, and Mrs. Liang was born in a big family, so it is not easy to remarry. A widow in her twenties, with no hope in life, waiting for death every day of her life. It's no wonder that she has no intention of taking care of the family business, her heart is like ashes, and she locks herself in the backyard all day long, looking like a living dead.
Thinking of this, Han Fei sighed deeply, especially for the little widow who closed herself in the backyard and was in her prime years, he was full of sympathy and pity.
"Uncle Wu, you are the old man of the Liang family, if you have the opportunity, you should persuade Mrs. Liang, don't be too cheap, live well, the Liang family's family business still needs her to be in charge!"
"Why didn't the old decay be persuaded? Just, alas...... The master left too early, and he didn't even leave a man and a half woman, and the lady had no hope......"
"Uncle Wu......" Han Fei thought about the wording for a moment and said, "Mrs. Liang is still young, she can recruit a husband or adopt a child!" β
"Madame is from a big family......"
Large households, which look glamorous, are sometimes a heavy shackle.
For Han Fei, this problem is unsolvable. Although he and Mrs. Liang had a verbal relationship, he couldn't find a suitable way to help her.
Han Fei checked the progress of making the simple refrigerator, gave some guidance on the details, and then returned to Liangfu. He walked to the single courtyard where saltpeter was refined, and saw Qinglong guiding a few newly bought family members to do things, so he couldn't help asking, "Qinglong, where is Brother Jia?" β
"Back to Young Master, the little one hasn't seen Young Master Jia all the time!"
Qinglong's words made Han Fei very strange, Jia Ming has always been very enthusiastic about refining saltpeter, why didn't he come to arrange work? Could it be that he is sick?
Han Fei hurriedly walked towards Jia Ming's room, Jia Ming's door was closed, he pushed it open and walked in in a hurry.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Brother ......"
Jia Ming was taking a bath in the wooden barrel, and subconsciously stood up when he heard the sound.
In the next second, the two of them seemed to have been immobilized, their eyes widened, and they froze!
Jia Ming turned out to be a woman!
At this time, she was like a hibiscus out of the water, standing in the center of the wooden barrel, up and down her body, hills and valleys, at a glance, completely blinding Han Fei's eyes.
"Ahh
Jia Ming finally woke up, let out a startle, and shrank into the water.
"Brother, brother...... I didn't mean to......"
Han Fei quickly escaped and returned to his room, he was still in a trance.
How could Jamin be a woman? I haven't been with her for so long, I didn't tell the difference, and I used to laugh at Liang Shanbo for being a stupid goose who couldn't distinguish between male and female, but it turned out that he was also a stupid goose!
To be honest, Han Fei has never thought about the question of whether Jia Ming is a man or a woman all along, but now that he thinks about it, many of Jia Ming's actions are indeed very feminine, and he is too negligent.
Actually, it's not to blame Han Fei, Jia Ming's makeup skills are very good, and his chest is obviously a D cup, but she tied it into an airport, so how can he distinguish between men and women? Do you want a medical check-up? Of course not.
Han Fei thought that Jia Ming was very sensitive to Liang Zhu's story, and it seemed that he had already pointed out!
Brother Jia, oh, it's time for Sister Jia, Han Fei is overjoyed.
Jamin? Kana? Could it be that the name is also fake?
Han Fei waited for half an hour, thinking that Jia Ming was almost cleaned up, and he walked to the door of Jia Ming's room again. Jia Ming's door was still closed, and he hesitated for a moment, but knocked on the door anyway.
"Big brotherβ"
Jia Ming opened the door, his face was crimson, his head was bowed, and he looked shy.
"Brother...... Sister Jia, I have something to ask you! β
Han Fei walked into the room and said apologetically: "I didn't mean to ...... today"
"Don't blame Big Brother! It's all the little sister who is not good, you shouldn't hide it from the big brother, don't be angry with the big brother! β
Han Fei saw Jia Ming's expectant look on his face, and said with a smile: "I have such a good sister like a fairy, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be angry?" β
Jia Ming lowered his head and muttered softly: "I don't want to be my sister's ......"
Han Fei thought about Jia Ming's origin and didn't hear what she said.
"Good sister, can you tell me about your background? And your name is also fake, right? β
"Hmm-" Jia Ming said quietly: "My name is Baoqin, I am from Jinling, my father has passed away, and my family is ...... No one cared about me, I left the house penniless...... If I hadn't met my eldest brother, I would have starved to death! β
When Han Fei heard this, he automatically made up his brain, Baoqin must have died of his father, his family was ruined, his relatives were separated, and he was called Huazi in the rivers and lakes. When he thought of this, he sighed deeply.
"The past is all over, big brother will protect you well!" Han Fei patted Baoqin's fragrant shoulder and said, "Your name is Jia Baoqin?" Good name! β
Jia Baoqin raised her head and looked at Han Fei, her mouth opened, she wanted to say something, but she seemed to have some scruples, and finally lowered her head and didn't say it.
Han Fei suddenly said, "Baoqin, are you from Jinling?" Did you know Mrs. Liang before? β
