Chapter 282: All in hand
After pondering for a moment, Lin Dong decided: "Send someone to stay at the Humen Inn and be responsible for waiting for her." ”
Jade Peony nodded happily, and the two of them worked together, not to mention that they could take revenge two or three years in advance. After waiting for more than 20 years, I finally have hope.
"Again...... The salary is the same as that of other chefs in our Lin Kee Inn, and there are additional rewards for doing well, and I can't treat you badly. Lin Dong said slowly.
Everyone nodded silently, they didn't care about the salary. Lin Dong really wants it, and it doesn't matter if all the income of the Humen Inn over the years has been contributed.
"Finally......" Lin Dong glanced at the jade peony up and down, and said slowly: "The jade shopkeeper will be a cook in the future, whether it is for the guests or the guys and cooks of the inn, there is no need to be too hospitable." If you really can't help it, you can withdraw the money on the counter casually, as long as it doesn't cause trouble and affect the reputation of the inn, you can pick it on the street. If you think it's better to be a bandit, you can take three or five days off a month. ”
Jade Peony was in a good mood, and she didn't care about Lin Dong's words, her chest straightened, and she just wanted to say a few words of disgust, but after seeing Yun Lan's gaze, she was afraid that she would be very happy and sad, so she hurriedly swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
Liang Shangtian and the others laughed sullenly, staying at the Humen Inn, if there was anything that made them dissatisfied, only the jade peony was too hospitable.
"It's the same with you, I'll have people separate the kitchen, and if you get into a conflict with the other cooks, don't blame me for being rude." Thinking of Qiao Tianhao, Lin Dong added: "Of course, if you are reasonable, and the other party is the number one chef of Lin Ji Inn, and it is night, as long as you don't kill him, I am worried that no one will practice with him." ”
Liang Shangtian and the others shrunk their necks, and the last sentence is worth playing.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lin Dong knew that they had misunderstood, and couldn't help laughing: "He only has the strength of the mind period now. ”
Liang Shangtian and the others grinned, the meaning of these words had to be reversed, the new boss to the number one chef, even if he really wanted to find him some people to practice tricks, it was estimated that there was a lesson in him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have added the phrase as long as I don't kill Xi Tingzun.
"Alright, so be it!" Lin Dong slapped his face and said, "We should also go." ”
"Young Master Lin, old ......" Huang Wanli hurriedly stood up.
"Huang Lao seems to have something to say to me just now?" Lin Dong said with a smile.
Huang Wanli nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The old man has a reluctant request, and I hope that Lin Gongzi will agree." ”
"Huang Lao, please say, I will definitely help." Lin Dong's words were conclusive, the old Huang in front of him was likely to be another carriage of the management of Lin Ji Inn, he was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid that Huang Wanli would have no problem and ask him for help.
Huang Wanli thanked him and hurriedly explained: "I also ask Lin Gongzi to help and save another granddaughter of the old man." ”
"Huang Lao also has a granddaughter?" Lin Dong was stunned, why did the first mathematician and bookkeeper in the Han Kingdom lose his granddaughter in front of him?
Huang Wanli nodded, hugged his granddaughter, who was already a little drowsy in his arms, and said with a sad and indignant face: "The old only son and daughter-in-law left us widowed and lonely because of an accident the year before last, and the old man was disheartened, so he took his two twin granddaughters back to Jiuhu County to care for the elderly, and was favored by his master Jiang Dening. The family property was exhausted, and my poor granddaughter was also arrested, so I had no choice but to sneak out of Nine Tiger City with Xiaolian, planning to go to the capital to ask the housekeeper of the palace for help. Unexpectedly, when passing by here, I just came out of the tiger's den and broke into the wolf's den. ”
"Beast!"
Lin Dong, Liu Hua, and Wu Guang scolded together, the twin granddaughters, and the other one was naturally the same as Xiaolian in Huang Wanli's arms, all of whom were only twelve or thirteen years old. In the Great Han Kingdom, it is normal for a woman to marry early, but at the age of twelve or thirteen...... Unless the man is also of the same age, anyone will scold the beast.
"Lin Gongzi ......" Huang Wanli couldn't get up, so he had to give his hand and say: "Lin Gongzi can even subdue the inn that the mountain bandits are afraid of, and I hope that Lin Gongzi can remember the pity of our ancestors and grandchildren, and save my poor granddaughter." ”
"Master Jiang Dening!" Lin Dong said suddenly: "Is it a goatee, who likes to hold a folding fan in his hand and shout all day long to raise money to return to the mountains and forests?" ”
"Yes, yes, that's him!" Huang Wanli nodded hurriedly.
"He wasn't dismissed?" Lin Dong suddenly felt a flame in his heart, he had seen this Jiang Dening when he came to Nine Tiger City to find Wang Bin and Yiyi a few months ago, not only broke one of his legs, but when he went back, he also found someone to mention Li Jiancheng, but he didn't expect that this guy could still be at ease.
"I heard that I offended a big man in Autumn Wind City a few months ago, and my leg was also broken, and I was held accountable from above." Huang Wanli said helplessly: "But this beast has a lot to do with the county commander Wan Shuiyong, and he is a brother-in-law, although he has been removed from the identity of the master, but no one dares to mess with him in Nine Tiger City." ”
Lin Dong nodded and said coldly: "Don't worry, Huang Lao, I will definitely help you get your granddaughter back." ”
Huang Wanli was overjoyed and wanted to say thank you, but Lin Dong asked, "Old Huang, when was your granddaughter robbed?" ”
"Seven days ago!" Huang Wanli was suddenly shocked in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Lin Gongzi, it's still too late, if you rush over now, my little fragrance will still have time not to be ruined by that beast." ”
Lin Dong felt a lot more relieved and asked, "Why?" ”
"This beast believes in feng shui and thinks that the third day of the sixth month is a good day, so he set the time for marrying a concubine on the third day of the sixth month."
Lin Dong calculated, there are almost two days left, hurry up, there is enough time!
"Liu Hua, Wu Guang, set of cars! I didn't arrive at Nine Tiger City in two days, and I picked your skin. ”
"Don't worry, if you don't arrive in two days, you don't need the shopkeeper to do it, we will peel each other."
Liu Hua answered and ran towards the door. Wu Guang nodded and chased after him.
"Let's go!" Lin Dong greeted.
"Thank you for the shopkeeper Lin, old and old, old and ......" Huang Wanli was grateful, and he couldn't speak.
"Huang Laoxian, don't be busy thanking you, I didn't help this for nothing."
Lin Dong smiled and walked out of the door, if it was an ordinary person, if he met it, he would just do him a favor for free. If the other party has something in his hands that he can see, he still disdains to repay the favor.
Huang Wanli is different, this is a fragrant bait, and he has to sit on the ground and start the price while he has a request for himself. Otherwise, Huang Wanli would really be reluctant to go to Lin Ji Inn to do the accounting room afterwards, but it would be a great white joy.
Looking at Lin Dong's distant back, thinking of the scene of the jade peony just now, Huang Wanli had already guessed a little, and immediately without any hesitation, he hugged Xiaolian and followed out.
Entering the carriage, with Liu Hua waving the horsewhip, the carriage slowly drove out of the Humen Inn, turned all the way out of the path and entered the official road, and then galloped forward.
When the carriage stabilized, Lin Dong looked up at Huang Wanli.
"Lin Gongzi, do you want to ask the old man to be the bookkeeper?" Huang Wanli asked in a low voice.
Lin Dong nodded and said with a smile: "Lin Ji Inn is about to open more branches, and there will be more and more branches in the future, so you need an account room." Huang Lao didn't think that if he was condescending or had any strength left, he hoped to agree. In terms of wages, it is guaranteed that it will not be lower than Huang Lao in the palace. ”
Huang Wanli shook his head slowly: "If Shopkeeper Lin doesn't dislike the old and old people, he will not be able to repay the old and old people for this great kindness." ”
Lin Dong was overjoyed and said busily: "In addition, I also asked Huang Lao to help take in a few apprentices, I don't know ......"
Huang Wanli hesitated for a moment and asked, "How does Gongzi Lin look at my two granddaughters?" Xiaolian and Xiaoxiang have been interested in arithmetic since they were children, especially Xiaolian, if the time comes, they will definitely not be worse than old decay. If one day they are old and decrepit, and they are not yet of marriage age, they can contribute to Lin Gongzi and rely on them more. ”
"They are too young, they should go to the academy for a long time, so let's be a companion to my family Lin Shuang first! When I'm older, I'm really interested in the accounting room, and it's never too late to learn. ”
Lin Dong looked down at the sleeping little girl, and shook his head slowly, no matter how interested he was, at such an old age, he shouldn't focus on one aspect. The two little girls are really as good as Huang Wanli said, and it will be the same for Xiaoshuang to be helpers in the future.
As for the Lin Ji Inn, in the future, I will find a way to pick a few reactions from the escort team, and the intelligence is almost the same, and I am loyal enough.
"But the old body ......," Huang Wanli hesitated.
"Elder Huang rest assured, just like my talent and Jade Peony guaranteed that their sisters could grow in strength." Lin Dong said confidently: "Don't dare to say anything else, I guarantee that Huang Lao will give us Lin Ji Inn another one or two decades of hard work without any problems." ”
Huang Wanli's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Lin Gongzi is talking about the stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves in Lin Ji Inn?" ”
"I didn't expect Huang Lao to know the signature dish of our Lin Ji Inn." Lin Dong laughed.
Huang Wanli nodded happily and said: "I once heard people chatting about it, saying that the stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves in Lin Ji Inn, after eating, can cure all diseases." ”
"Treating all diseases is just a myth, but it can really enhance physical fitness." Lin Dong smiled and said: "Give Huang Lao one a day, Huang Lao wants to ask for leave in the future, but he has to think of other reasons." ”
Huang Wanli smiled, as if he remembered something, and said carefully: "This stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves, I heard that it is several taels of silver a piece, this ......"
"In my eyes, the value of Huang Lao is not calculated in a few taels or taels." Lin Dong didn't explain too much, Lin Ji Inn is still unknown all over the Han Kingdom, and when he says it, it is estimated that it is a bit ambitious.
Huang Wanli was about to be modest for a few words, when Lin Dong suddenly said: "Old Huang, I heard that you have performed thousands of arithmetic before, I wonder if you are interested in publishing a book?" ”
Huang Wanli was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Old man used to publish a book with silver, and then give it to the deans of major colleges. As a result, it is not uncommon for people to say that there are enough in the six arts, and any more will only increase the burden on the students. ”
Lin Dong was dumbfounded, the deans of those academies in the capital were probably all on the scribe quota and a few martial artists.
After thinking about it, Lin Dong asked, "How many copies did Huang Lao print in total?" ”
Huang Wanli explained: "In addition to all the colleges in the capital, I also sent a few books to my old friends, a total of twenty-six books. ”
"Too little!" Lin Dong said without thinking: "It's only twenty-six books, and I definitely won't meet anyone who is interested." What's more, it is better to find the academy to promote, than to find the yamen to promote. ”
Huang Wanli smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me for the imperial court, the Ministry of Rites, how can an old man enter the palace account room, not to mention persuading them to add these arithmetic to the six arts." ”
"It's okay, it's on me. Not to mention anything else, at least Huang Lao can print as many copies as he wants, and besides, it can be promoted in Autumn Wind City in a short time. Lin Dong said.
Huang Wanli was overjoyed and said excitedly: "This is the lifelong wish of the old man, if Lin Gongzi can really do it, even if it is promoted in a county, the old and the old ......."
"Huang Lao can help me teach a few apprentices well."
Lin Dong smiled brightly, if Huang Wanli could really do things for Lin Ji Inn wholeheartedly, it would be equivalent to Ma Chun having another powerful assistant.
