Li Tao is this year's new buddy and the chef that Tang Chu focuses on cultivating, so he is naturally not clear about the relationship between Zou Shiyan and Tang Chu, which is why Tang Chu is relieved to explain him.

"Miss, let's go to the front hall, Sister Yaoyao said they all want to chat with you."

Shuangxi, who was guarding the front hall, ran over with a smile, and Tang Chu naturally couldn't be sloppy when he heard it, so he also walked over quickly.

Zou Shiyan, who was sitting by the window of the back kitchen, lowered his head and stirred his fingers, looking around from time to time, afraid that there were people he knew, but his stomach, and the energy in his body might not be able to support him in exchanging coolies for silver.

If he could, Zou Shiyan would naturally not choose to come to Tang Dong to beg for food.

"Alas, this steamed bun is almost sour, and it is steamed hot."

A man in front of him threw a bag of steamed buns out of the window as he spoke, and the hot steamed buns went directly into Zou Shiyan's arms, and he didn't have time to be happy, seeing the group of beggars in front of him who were looking at him, Zou Shiyan ran away.

"Shameless! And the beggars to grab food! ”

The beggar who couldn't catch up scolded angrily in the back, Zou Shiyan smiled, and rushed home full of energy.

This scene happened to make Tang Chu, who was back in the kitchen, bump into him, and he couldn't help laughing out loud while feeling distressed, how could he have seen him laugh like this in his previous life, even if it wasn't for himself, he hadn't seen anyone else, maybe he would have lived a more flesh-and-blood and richer life in this life.

"In the future, prepare steamed buns for him every day, no matter what the rhetoric is, just don't let him know that you did it on purpose."

"Oh, okay." Li Tao touched his head, he couldn't understand how the young man was so pitied by the young lady, could it be that he had a peerless face?

Zou Shiyan ran home in one breath, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard that the second aunt was choking her brother again.

"I didn't get paid and I still want to eat? You're hungry, don't you like to read? Let's go eat a book. ”

"Second aunt, you are unreasonable, usually my eldest brother works as a coolie for twenty yuan a day, and five yuan of silver for a day's food is enough, why don't you give me food." Zou Shichu was not convinced, thinking that the second aunt was too deductive.

"I just don't give it." The second aunt caught a glimpse of Zou Shiyan, in fact, the second aunt Zou was still a little scared of Zou Shiyan, after all, he was tall and knew martial arts, if he really started to move, he really couldn't beat him.

The second aunt slammed the door shut directly, Zou Shichu patted the door dissatisfied, and when he turned around and saw that the eldest brother was back, he said with a worried face: "Big brother, are you hungry, haven't you eaten for a day?"

"Let's go back to the house first."

In the past few days, Zou Shiyan can't find physical work to do, so he has no choice but to help people write letters and copy books, but he only makes do with more than a dozen dollars a day, and the second aunt takes it away, and only gives one meal a day.

It rained yesterday, and I couldn't help people write letters on the street, and I didn't bring my salary home, so I was locked outside by my second aunt and drenched in the rain all night, so I appeared in Tangdong today.

Fortunately......

"It's actually a white-flour steamed bun." Zou Shichu pinched the warm steamed bun in his hand, looked at the eldest brother with an incredible expression, and analyzed: "The steamed bun is only two pennies a piece, why don't we eat steamed buns every day, don't give money to the second aunt, it's better to save it yourself."

Zou Shiyan was silent for a while, and then asked, "Second aunt, did you care about your meal today?"

"No, she said that the eldest brother didn't pay her salary yesterday, I'm really angry, if we don't give money to my second aunt, I'm afraid I've saved a lot of money now, and we can support ourselves."

Zou Shichu finished eating a steamed bun in a while, and he was excited to eat another one, but he was afraid that the eldest brother would not be enough, so he retracted his hand.

"Eat, I've already eaten one before." Zou Shiyan put the two steamed buns in his little brother's hands, and then ate the last one by himself, and after eating, he began to light the lamp and copy the book.

Back then, Zou Shiyan put down his books because of his family when he was admitted to the township examination, and the current economic situation can only support Zou Shichu to go on.

In fact, if Zou Shiyan doesn't like this kind of life in the world, in fact, he yearns to become a generation of heroes and prove himself with strength and action.

"I'll go to work again tomorrow, you remember to practice your calligraphy well, as usual, everything is as usual."

Zou Shichu was extremely disappointed after listening to his eldest brother's instructions, how much he hoped that his eldest brother could lead him to resist and then break away from his second aunt, but Zou Shichu also knew that the eldest brother, who had always adhered to it, would not do this.

Early the next morning, Zou Shiyan went out, successfully found a coolie to move and unload the goods at the dock, and wrapped a meal at the end of the day and gave thirty yuan, which was very good for Zou Shichu.

Because of the good handwriting of the hand, Zou Shiyan will also go to the bookstore to copy the book, although this kind of work is long, but there are twenty texts in one book, practicing words to make money, Zou Shiyan will always take jobs here.

When passing by Tang Dong, Zou Shiyan subconsciously stopped, but for some reason another bag of steamed buns was thrown in his arms, and the man at the door looked at him with a spatula.

"You're lucky, this last bag of steamed buns belongs to you."

Although he didn't know what it meant, Zou Shiyan didn't feel disgusted with this kind of charity, and smiled and went home with steamed buns.

"Miss, do you still like Zou Gongzi?" Shuangxi was lying out the window looking at the man who was leaving, and couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's not like." Tang Chu looked at the window with great certainty, liking was a matter of the previous life, and in this life they can be friends, a friend who understands him very well.

The breeze blew, so Tang Chu gathered his clothes, looked at the beginning of the gray sky, and left Tang Dong to return home with double happiness.

In the past few days, Tang Chu often came home late because of the affairs of the restaurant, Tang Fuchang waited for her at dinner, and couldn't help but joke when he saw her belated: "You are busier than my father."

"Where, I don't have enough experience here to run around." Tang Chu cleaned his hands and sat next to his father, obediently serving his father vegetables, and Tang Fuchang was also very happy to see it.

The courtyard with four entrances and four exits is usually the only one except for the subordinates, because Tang Fuchang was separated from his family early when he was young, so he did not have very close contact with his family.

Although the two of them are a little cold, the two fathers and daughters always have endless topics.

"It's almost a month, have you found your new shopkeeper?"

The servants put away the dishes and chopsticks, and Tang Fuchang also started to talk after dinner.

"Daddy, can you not use the shopkeeper? Or do I come on my own? Tang Chu was a little helpless, it's not that she hasn't looked for it, it's just that those people can't believe it, after all, if those new dishes are leaked, they have been busy for so long.

After listening to his daughter's words, Tang Fuchang obviously disagreed, "The shopkeeper must have it, find a clever one who can solve things, and some restaurants can't solve it for girls." ”

Who doesn't want their daughter to marry a good family, Tang Fuchang is naturally the same, although he teaches his daughter to engage in business, but in the end his daughter still has to marry, which is a fact that cannot be changed.

If you make your reputation stink because of business, no son will dare to come to the door in the future.

"Okay, I'm looking for it, if I can't find it, I'll ask Uncle Wu if there is anything useful to recommend." Tang Chu naturally knew what his father was thinking, and he planned to work hard.

"It's okay to find Uncle Wu, he believed it."
