Chapter 157: Chen Yichun's Gambling Addiction

During this period, Chen Nong found a good lacquer maker, treated the beams and walls with anti-corrosion, and painted the walls with vermilion paint according to Lin Jiu's requirements, making the whole room look warm.

In this way, it was delayed for almost a month, but fortunately, Lin Jiu had dividends in the Zeng family, and the Zhao family was also making cloth art, so they didn't sit and eat empty.

After Lin Jiu studied all the dishes prepared for the restaurant, he didn't rush to recruit a cook, after all, he didn't know what the business would do now.

When the restaurant was fully prepared and ready to open, it was Chen Nong who reminded Lin Jiu that there was still a lack of shopkeepers in the restaurant, so she had to ask Chen Nong if there was any good candidate to recommend.

Chen Nong hesitated for a moment before replying: "My second uncle used to study for a few years, and he also worked as a shopkeeper in a small shop, and his life was quite prosperous, but then he accidentally became addicted to gambling and lost his family, but now he has not gambled for so long, I see that he has really changed, if the girl does not dislike it, you can ask him to give it a try." ”

As soon as he heard that this person was addicted to gambling, Lin Jiu was reluctant, but it was recommended by Chen Nong, and it was not easy to refute his face, so Lin Jiu said: "Then you let people come over first, I'll take a look, if I think he can't do it, then you can help me find someone else." ”

As soon as he heard this, Chen Nong was even more happy, this second uncle was very good to him in the past, and this time he suffered, other relatives all respected him, only this second uncle was willing to pull him.

Although the family doesn't have much money, they often send him some food, which also reduces Chen Nong's burden a lot, and if he can help Chen Nong, he is naturally happy.

After getting Lin Jiu's order, Chen Nong quickly called his second uncle Chen Yichun over.

In fact, it was indeed an accident when Chen Yichun was addicted to gambling back then, at that time Chen Yichun had a good child, and later they started a family, and the pressure of making money to support the family was very great, and they couldn't talk about these hardships with their wives and children, so the two often got together and drank a little wine to relax.

On that day, the two of them happened to be paid, and they had to take Chen Yichun to the casino to play two handfuls: "Small gambling pleasure, we don't come often, play two, relax and relax." ”

Because he didn't want to ruin the friendship between the two, Chen Yichun had no choice but to follow him.

When he first played, Chen Yichun's luck was very good, and he didn't play big, at most he pressed half a tael of silver, and he could earn back twice as much.

His hair is even more so, and he is bolder than him, and he is lucky, he actually pressed up that month's salary.

It's a pity that good luck doesn't always favor him, and in the end, he lost all the money in his pocket, but how could he be willing, he borrowed money from him when he saw that Chen Yichun still had money in his pocket.

Chen Yichun was reluctant at first, but he couldn't help his soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he also gave him half of his salary, which was five taels of silver.

Fa Xiao took the money and went back to the past and continued to gamble, although he didn't earn back the silver he had lost before, but he finally won back three taels, and took the money to repay what Chen Yichun borrowed before, and the two left the casino.

Although Chen Yichun won a little money, he still didn't have any interest in gambling, but his small hair saw the hope of getting rich.

In the days that followed, they got together and grew small. So he took him to the casino together, and after a long time, Chen Yichun also became addicted to gambling.

But after all, he gambled nine times out of ten, and he gambled with Fa Xiao, and he lost his family, until the debt came to the door, Chen Yichun's boss fired him, and his wife returned to her parents' house with the child, Chen Yichun repented, but it was too late by then.

Since then, he has completely cut off contact with the gambler Fa Xiao, and he has made up his mind never to gamble again, but he has only been a bookkeeper for so many years, and nothing else, and his body is not so tough, and it is not possible to do physical work.

Therefore, Chen Yichun has been earning some chewing money by doing odd jobs all these years, barely living a living, and has never gambled again.

As soon as Chen Yichun heard that Chen Nong had found a job for him, he hurriedly took out the good clothes at the bottom of his box, put the flat folds on his body, and followed Chen Nong to see Lin Jiu in a decent manner.

Lin Jiu looked at Chen Yichun for a while before asking, "I heard that you were addicted to gambling before, are you still gambling?" ”

"Back to the girl, I have been separated by my wife who was harmed by this gambling word, and I have made up my mind never to gamble again, please rest assured, girl." Chen Yichun's eyes are clear now, and Lin Jiu can see it.

And the Zhao family on the side also opened his mouth to persuade when he saw it: "Jiu'er, you just give him a chance, my mother sees that he is also sincerely repentant, and this prodigal son will not change his money." ”

Chen Nong had already used a lot of face to recommend the second uncle, and he didn't dare to say good things for the second uncle at this time, and the people in the courtyard looked at Lin Jiu cautiously.

After a long time, Lin Jiu said: "Since my mother also intercedes for you, then I will give you a chance, but if I find out that you are secretly gambling behind my back, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

"No, absolutely not, don't worry, girl, if I'm gambling, I'll call me Chen Yichun to die with a rotten stomach."

Seeing him swear poisonously, Lin Jiu also put away his fierce momentum: "Then you will be the same as Chen Nong in a month, if you do a good job of five taels of silver, it can rise again later." ”

Since being dismissed by the shopkeeper many years ago, when has Chen Yichun seen so much silver, he was so happy for a while, and even his voice trembled a little: "Aunt, girl, is five taels of silver too much?" ”

Lin Jiu waved his hand: "I never use useless people, if you think it is too much, try to be worthy of these five taels of silver." ”

Chen Nong had no choice but to say the same thing, it seemed that Miss Lin was too lazy to think of words in her perfunctory years, and seeing that Chen Yichun wanted to say something more, she hurriedly pulled him and said, "My second uncle and I thank the girl for her great kindness." ”

Lin Jiu nodded and ignored them.

Chen Nong is the shopkeeper, and Chen Yichun is the bookkeeper. In the end, Chen Yichun was in charge and recruited a guy he knew before, who was honest and capable, and Lin Jiu also thought it was good after seeing it, so he stayed.

They worked so hard for a month, Lin Jiu's hot pot restaurant was finally able to open, and Lin Jiu personally named the restaurant: Boiled World.

Before opening the store, Lin Jiu made a lot of plans, thinking about what discounts she wanted to make when she opened, and finally she decided to halve the consumption of the whole store in the first three days of opening.

Although Chen Nong and Chen Yichun felt that this was too expensive, the opening of a new store would always cost a little more, so they both agreed.

But what they didn't expect was that although there were sporadic customers who came to eat in the first two days of the store, no one had ever ordered hot pot, and the meal money in the past few days was discounted, so the cost could not be recovered, not to mention, and a lot of money was lost.

The dishes prepared in the store can't be eaten on the same day, and they can't be eaten again the next day if they are not fresh, looking at the large number of dishes that need to be processed in the kitchen, Lin Jiu felt distressed for a while, she thought about it all night the next night, and finally thought of the reason when the fish belly was white in the sky.

When she was selling seasonings, those customers also bought it after tasting the barbecue she made, so this hot pot is the same reason, everyone has not eaten it and don't know whether it is good or bad, so since this is the case, I will give everyone a taste of this hot pot.

Early in the morning of the third day, Lin Jiu got up early, although his face was a little ugly, but he was full of energy.

Zhao knew that business was not very good these days, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Jiu'er, don't worry too much, everything is difficult at the beginning, just get through these few days." ”

Lin Jiu smiled and nodded: "It's okay mother, I've already thought of a way, you wait and see, business will get better soon." ”

Zhao didn't answer her words, but felt that Lin Jiu was saying these nice words to comfort her.

After breakfast, Lin Jiu rushed to the boiled world, she asked Chen Nong and his men to prepare, and when it was almost noon, she set up a hot pot at the door, and then brought out a few large bowls of meat and vegetables, placed them next to the hot pot, and instructed Chen Nong and a few people from the shopkeeper to go outside to shout, so that the people passing by came to taste it.

Chen Nong and Chen Yichun were a little confused at first, but since the girl told them to do so, because there were almost no restaurants that held such tasting activities, and Chen Nong was very good at talking, so they quickly attracted a large number of onlookers.

At first, everyone discussed: It's just a pot of broth, put it in the water and soak it, can the meat be delicious when it is cooked, and will it be bad?

Everyone was suspicious in their hearts, but Lin Jiu's sauce and the bottom of the pot were very fragrant, and the bone broth was boiled over high heat, so that the fragrance wafted around, and these spectators couldn't stand it after a long time.
