Saying that, Lin Jiu bypassed Chen Nong and walked into the ear room.

Although the house is simple, it is clean, and it can be seen that Chen Nong is a careful person, but although Chen Nongniang is tossing and turning on the sickbed, there is no trace of medicine in the house, which shows that he has not taken medicine for a long time.

When Chen Nongniang saw Lin Jiu walk into the house, she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and said to Lin Jiu: "Girl, no, the old body is seriously ill, don't give the girl too sick, let's go out quickly!" ”

Chen Nong also said beside him: "That's it, Miss Lin should come out." ”

Ignoring the words of the mother, Lin Jiu walked straight to Chen Nongniang's bed and sat down, Chen Dongniang saw this and hurriedly curled up and moved to the couch: "The girl is still far away from me." ”

Lin Jiu did not respond to Chen Nongniang's words, but asked, "How long has Auntie been sick?" ”

Chen Nongniang smiled bitterly: "I'm sick, I've had it for ten years, I could barely support it before, but then I couldn't afford to get sick, and I couldn't afford to read so well as my children's books, so I could only go to be a toothman...... Now, although my son has suffered, but when I kick my legs, my son will not have so many burdens, and then he will sell his house and go to other places, without the oppression of the county order, and with my son's intelligence, he will be able to make a good life. ”

Unexpectedly, his mother had already thought of this step for him, Chen Nong hurriedly stepped forward to stop his mother and said, "Mother, how can you say such a thing, you will be fine, your son will definitely be able to earn money to treat you." ”

Crying and holding Chen Nong's hand: "Son, my mother has dragged you down long enough, and I can't continue to drag you down." ”

Chen Nong choked up and couldn't speak, so he could only hold his mother's hand tightly and refused to let go.

Lin Jiu had been sitting on the sidelines, quietly listening to the crying between the two mothers and sons, and after a long time she spoke: "Aunt don't worry about this matter because of me, I will naturally solve it." ”

After speaking, Lin Jiu looked at Chen Nong again: "You know that I bought a shop, and now I am going to open a restaurant there, some things are inconvenient to come forward, and I have to bother you, so I am willing to pay five taels of silver a month, if you do well, it can rise again, are you willing to follow me to do things?" ”

Chen Nong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he heard every word of Lin Jiu's words clearly, but he still couldn't believe it, he couldn't figure out why Lin Jiu wanted to hire him for so much money.

Chen Nong was hesitating, but Chen Nongniang reacted first, and hurriedly pushed her son and said, "Son, quickly agree!" ”

It turned out that when Chen Nong was a tooth lang, his monthly income was only two taels of silver, and now it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, Chen Nongniang is naturally unwilling to let her son give up this opportunity.

Lin Jiu didn't speak again, and kept looking at Chen Nong with burning eyes, after all, although she wanted to help Chen Nong, she still had to agree with the parties.

Chen Nong thought about it for a long time, but after all, there was no better choice at the moment, and now the top priority was to see his mother.

Only then did he speak: "Thank you Miss for your support, Chen Nong will do his best for Miss in the future, but five taels of silver this month is still too much, you can give me two taels." ”

Lin Jiu shook his head: "I have my own reason for giving you five taels of silver, you just need to make yourself worth the value of these five taels of silver." ”

Chen Nong heard the meaning of Lin Jiu's words, telling himself to do things more dedicatedly, he nodded vigorously: "Please rest assured, Chen Nong will do his best for the girl in the future." ”

After this was done, Lin Jiu talked to Chen Nongniang for a while, then got up and left, and Chen Nong sent her out.

When the two walked to the door, Lin Jiu suddenly stopped, took out five taels of silver directly from his purse and handed it to Chen Nong, saying, "This is your first month's salary, you can take it and buy medicine for your aunt first." ”

Chen Nong hurriedly excused himself and refused to obey his subordinates: "How can this be, I haven't worked yet, how can I take your money!" ”

Lin Jiu directly stuffed the money into Chen Nong's arms: "It's important to see a doctor, if you want to work, after you take care of your aunt, you are busy, you treat your aunt first, and then go to me when everything is right here." ”

In the end, she reported the address of the Zheng family's grandmother's house.

The Zheng family's house had originally hung a sign in Fangshiju, so Chen Nong was naturally familiar with it, and he bowed deeply to Lin Jiu gratefully: "Girl's great grace, Chen Nong remembers it." ”

Lin Jiu looked at Chen Nong and nodded with a smile, then directly pushed the door and left.

After doing this, Lin Jiu went to the market to buy some vegetables before going home, and now the meals at home are all made by Lin Jiu himself, also to make some medicinal food for the Zhao family.

In the days of waiting for Chen Nong, Lin Jiu silently made plans for his hotel in his heart, since he wanted to use hot pot as a signature dish, then each table needed to make a special table for placing hot pot.

She had investigated before, the blacksmiths and coppersmiths of this era were very backward, they would only make the most ordinary things and the price was still very high, it would be too reluctant for them to make charcoal hot pot, so she still planned to start from the table.

Just like the last time she did it at home, make a hole in the middle of the table, put the hot pot on the hole, and set up a brazier underneath to keep the pot hot.

However, if a brazier is placed under the table, the guests will not be able to spread their legs and feet at the table, and it is easy to touch the shelf and cause a fire.

So she wanted the carpenter to fix the shelf directly under the table, thinking like this, Lin Jiu drew it on the paper, but it was barely enough to let her paint some cloth shapes, and it was really difficult for her to draw this construction drawing.

It took two days, plus the final draft that was revised and revised, and Lin Jiu was finally satisfied.

For the decoration of the shop, Lin Jiu also had a superficial understanding of criminal psychology when she was a special soldier in her previous life, but all fields of psychology are figured out, so she knows that color has a great impact on the psychology of diners.

In addition, she also plans to separate each table with a half-height screen, so that the dine-in guests downstairs can experience a little private room feeling for less money.

And the hot pot is steaming hot, and the current houses are all wooden structures, and in the long run, it may cause damage to the house, so she has to ask a good painter to repaint the house.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiu only felt a headache. When she first bought the shop, she didn't think of this, she just thought that since her craftsmanship was good, she would definitely be able to make money by opening a restaurant, but she didn't expect that there were so many things now, which was a great torture for people like her who just wanted to make money lying down.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to invite Chen Nong back, so Lin Jiu recorded her thoughts one by one on paper, and handed over these things to him as soon as Chen Nong came.

Chen Nong, who took care of his mother at home, didn't know how many things Lin Jiu had arranged for him in the days when he was away.

About three days later, Chen Nong came to the door: "Thank you girl for the money she left me, I have found a good man to show my mother, and I have also taken medicine, now her condition has stabilized, girl, you can tell me if you have something." ”

Lin Jiu was so happy when she heard the news, she hurriedly went back to the room and took out the list she had listed and handed it to Chen Nong: "Look at it, this is the list of guys, I have thought of so much for the time being, if there is anything else that needs to be added, you can add it." ”

Chen Nong looked at the long list and couldn't help but have a headache, thinking in his heart that the five taels of silver were indeed not easy to earn, but he still nodded: "Okay girl, then I'll go to the carpenter first and ask him to type out the furniture." ”

"Okay, you remember to find a better carpenter, I have the drawings here, and tell him to make them exactly the same according to the drawings, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher."

Chen Nong nodded: "I know the girl." ”

After speaking, he folded the list a few times and stuffed it into his arms, and left Lin Jiu's house.

Although Chen Nong was only a Yalang before, because it took the whole city to accompany the guests to see the shop, he knew a lot of people and knew a lot of things, and it was not difficult to find a carpenter with good skills.

When he came out of Lin Jiu's house, he went straight to Carpenter Zhang in the east of the city.

Carpenter Zhang is a little fat, and he is happy to meet everyone, and he is skilled and fast, so the people in the town love to come to him for any carpenter.

After Chen Nong sold his house before, some customers asked him about carpentry, so he recommended Carpenter Zhang to them, so Chen Nong also took a lot of business for Carpenter Zhang, and the two knew each other.

Seeing Chen Nong coming, Carpenter Zhang greeted him with a smile: "Yo, the Chen family boy is here?" It's to introduce me to some big customers. ”

"Uncle Zhang, this time is indeed a big customer." Chen Nong also approached with a smile and replied.
