Chapter 113: The Five-Year Covenant

"But that kid is not familiar with the piece of Taiyuan." Wang Lin still said skeptically.

Lin Mei also knew Wang Lin's concerns, this purchase is also a very important errand, if something goes wrong, not to mention losing money, it is also related to the reputation of Yipinlou.

"So what do you say? For a while, I couldn't find the right person. Lin Mei pushed the muddy waters to him again.

Wang Lin glared dryly, and he really couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.

After pondering for a long time, he had to say: "Why don't I take him to Taiyuan and teach him so that he can understand the environment over there." ”

Lin Mei waited for him to say this, and never mentioned it, because she knew that Guan Buy's purchase relied on these resource news to eat, and if she really mentioned it, she was afraid that it would affect the affection of the master and servant for many years.

"Yo, Uncle Wang, that's too much trouble for you, in the future, you will help Taiyuan to keep an eye on more, and when you go, you will also take Gu Yu with you, let him learn more, he is a clever kid, and he may not be able to become a big steward in the future." Lin Mei's words can be regarded as a reassurance to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin saw that Lin Mei wanted to promote Wang Guyu, so he didn't say anything, but he was still very happy in his heart. Now that I'm older, I'm worried that I don't have a successor, and this purchase is much higher than the monthly account management.

"Then who is in charge of the two restaurants here?" Tong Fugui couldn't help but ask.

"I'll take care of these two sides for the time being, and I'll hand them over when I find a suitable candidate."

Tong Fugui immediately thought of his uncle, and now he is still idle at home.

I wanted to mention it, but I was afraid that Lin Mei would not agree, after all, the uncle had resumed his status as a civilian, and it was impossible to let him re-enter the slave nationality, but if he did not become a slave, how could the master be willing to let him be in charge.

Lin Mei saw that he had something to say, so she didn't take the initiative to ask him.

When the meeting is over, offer to keep him.

The other stewards didn't take it seriously, knowing that this was the master's advice to him, so they all left first.

"Tell me, I just had something to say."

Tong Fugui didn't expect Lin Mei to observe so carefully, and even guessed what she wanted to say, and she didn't hesitate, and directly said what was on her mind.

"Isn't he the shopkeeper in Xiyang Town?" Lin Mei was taken aback.

Tong Fugui sighed and said: "Yes, but who would have thought that after the Luo family's property was donated to the imperial court, the imperial court converted these restaurants into cash and sold them. He is also old, and he doesn't want to re-enter the slave status, so now he can only eat his old book at home. ”

Lin Mei sighed for a while when she heard this, this is not good for people to work, there is no sense of security, the boss wants it, no matter how strong your ability is, if you say don't want it, don't want it.

"Shopkeeper Tong has saved a lot of money all his life, so it should be no problem to provide for the elderly."

Lin Mei is knowledgeable, this ordinary shopkeeper does not talk about the monthly example of two taels of silver in a month, not to mention an experienced shopkeeper like Tong, there are five taels of silver a month, if the master is generous, there is a reward for silver at the end of the year, take Tong Fugui as an example, although he is still an ordinary shopkeeper, he can manage two restaurants, five taels of silver per month, and at the end of the year, he also shared a dividend of fifty taels of silver, and he can also save a lot of silver this year.

"Yes, my uncle has also saved a lot of silver over the years, but at that time he was a slave and could not buy land and buy a house in his own name, and my brother in the lobby was not angry, and he could still help work in the Luo family's Zhuangzi a few years ago, and with my uncle's backing, he could also support a large family. But since the restoration of the common people, the heart has become bigger, I want to learn from others to do business, all day long shouting to do something big for my uncle to see, my uncle did not agree at the beginning, but see that he has nothing to do all day, and then agreed, but who can think, he is not the material for doing business, let people be deceived, all the losses do not say, but also owe a lot of debts, the debt is released cruelly, if you don't repay the debt for three days, you will take your wife and children to pay off the debt, my uncle is also helpless, and finally took out the coffin, and borrowed a hundred taels of silver from me to repay the debt. ”

In the end, Tong Fugui felt sorry for his uncle, worked hard all his life, and couldn't even get an old age, and now he has to worry about the livelihood of a few people in his family.

"Then how do you want me to help him, you should know my Lin Mei's rules, there is no deed of sale, I can't let him be the shopkeeper, but let him be a hall runner or a helper, and it's too burying him." Lin Mei already understood what he meant, but she wanted him to be the shopkeeper of Yipinlou, his status as a commoner, Lin Mei was not at ease, and it was not fair to other stewards.

"Otherwise, I'll go back and persuade him again, he won't be able to eat this meal, so he can still manage the problem of face?" Tong Fugui saw that there was already a hint of this matter, and asked tentatively.

Lin Mei also knew that this matter was a bit embarrassing, and the shopkeeper Tong was a talent, if he could really be loyal to the Lin family, it would be a good thing, thinking about coaxing people over first, if not, it would be a good deal to help him train a few shopkeepers.

"Otherwise, you go back and tell him, if he can agree to this, I will help his family settle down, not to mention, five years, if he can help me bring a few shopkeepers out, I will restore his family as a common man." After Lin Mei finished speaking, she also said seriously: "I only treat it special for the sake of your face, you have to keep this secret, don't drop the chain for me when the time comes, and let my backyard catch fire." ”

Tong Fugui excitedly knelt directly in front of Lin Mei and swore an oath: "The sky is above, the villain Tong Fugui swears to be loyal to the master for a lifetime, if he violates this statement, may the sky thunder and split, and he will not die well." ”

"Hurry up, why did you make an oath, I didn't say I didn't believe you, I still expect you to be my manager in the future." What Lin Mei wants is his lifelong loyalty, otherwise he would not have taken such a big risk.

There are one and two of this, in case one day, let the other stewards know about this matter, and they are all clamoring for a five-year appointment, Lin Meike will be difficult to do. Today's family business is more and more inseparable from this group of people, if you really provoke these people, it is a small matter to provoke a child, and it is a big deal to sell people directly; But if you collude with outsiders and sell yourself, then there is nowhere to cry, and Lin Mei is also taking precautions.

Tong Fugui also knows her difficulties, and admires her in his heart for having such ability and courage, but he can't forget the grace of knowing that he encountered, if it wasn't for the uncle's hand, he still doesn't know where to go.

"Don't worry, master, except for my uncle, no fourth person will know about this matter!" Tong Fugui hurriedly reassured.

"Okay, this matter is settled, in case your uncle doesn't agree, you don't mention it to me." Lin Mei still said with concerns.
