Chapter 10: Her Kindness
Ruan Xiaodie didn't know whether to say that she was unlucky or lucky, so she only walked a few steps and met Zhang Maoyuan, who happened to go out, that Zhang Maoyuan saw that Ruan Xiaodie seemed to become more beautiful and moving than before after leaving Fu Laohan, and Ruan Xiaodie hurriedly walked to the side as soon as she saw Zhang Maoyuan, she didn't want to talk to this man with a beast's heart.
"Fluttershy, Fluttershy, where are you going so fast?" After all, Zhang Maoyuan is just a showman who only stays at home and reads all day long, and he is already out of breath after walking a few steps.
Seeing Zhang Maoyuan resting against a big tree, Ruan Xiaodie saw this, and hurriedly quickened her pace, she regretted a little why she didn't let Lu Chuan follow her, she always met some cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods when she went out, which was really annoying.
Finally got rid of the pestering Zhang Maoyuan, Ruan Xiaodie finally came to Wang Mei's house, she knocked politely on the door first, and found that no one responded inside, so she shouted loudly, "Sister Wang Mei, Sister Wang Mei, are you not at home?" ”
After a while, I heard Wang Mei's voice, "Eh, I'm here, Fluttershy." ”
Ruan Xiaodie thought that Wang Mei was in the house, but who knew that she actually walked from the back of the house with a bamboo basket on her back, and she looked at Ruan Xiaodie in surprise, "Xiaodie, why are you here?" Is there something wrong with me? Come on, come in and sit. ”
Following Wang Mei into her house, Ruan Xiaodie looked at it casually, they were all houses made of broken bricks and straw, very dilapidated, Ruan Xiaodie's heart couldn't help but tighten, Wang Mei warmly beckoned Ruan Xiaodie to sit down, and also took a few pieces of boiled sweet potatoes from the stove at home to her, "My home is simple, I can't take out any good things to entertain you, this is the sweet potato we just harvested, you can taste it." ”
"No, no need, Sister Wang Mei, you can keep it for yourself, I came here this time to ask you to help me, don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing this time, I will pay you."
"This ....." Wang Mei looked at Ruan Xiaodie suspiciously, "Xiaodie, you can't have a bad job, right?" You also know that many women in our village have been tricked into going to brothels. ”
"Don't worry, Sister Wang Mei, I don't want you to do anything, I just hope you can help me make buns, dumplings or side dishes like last time, just to start."
When Wang Mei heard this, her heart became much more steady, and she said with a smile, "I see, then naturally there is no problem, in terms of wages, I don't mind how much you give, Da Zhuang and I just want to fill our stomachs." ”
"I will definitely not treat you badly Sister Wang Mei, you have helped me and Sheng'er so much, and we should repay you for our kindness."
"What are you talking about? Everyone is a woman, and it is right to help each other," Wang Mei said with a smile, Ruan Xiaodie's heart was very moved, "Then when will I go over to help you?" ”
"Do you have time in the afternoon?"
"Yes, I've already collected the vegetables today, and I'm just doing housework at home in the afternoon, and I'll just wait for Da Zhuang to come back for dinner."
"That's okay, Sister Wang Mei, come to me in the afternoon, I'll teach you how to do it."
"Okay."
In the afternoon, the first two women in the kitchen were working seriously, and Lu Chuan was outside with Ruan Sheng, Ruan Sheng was squatting on the ground and playing with pebbles, "Brother Lu Chuan, when will my mother finish her work and play with me?" ”
"Sheng'er, your mother is busy making money, so she doesn't have time to play with you."
"Isn't it true that if you make money, your mother will be happy?" Ruan Sheng remembered the smile on his mother's face when she sold steamed buns before.
Seeing where Ruan Xiaodie and Ruan Sheng live now, and thinking of the tattered clothes they wore and their thin bodies, Lu Chuan understood why Ruan Xiaodie worked so hard to make money, "Yes, your mother will be very happy." ”
In the kitchen.
Ruan Xiaodie is teaching Wang Mei how to make beautiful pastries, she has already reconciled the dough, just wait for someone to come to make the dough into shape, fortunately, Wang Mei is very fast, Ruan Xiaodie taught her to make three or four pastries, she can already make her own. With Wang Mei's help, Ruan Xiaodie quickly finished the pastries that she handed over to Daoxianglou tomorrow.
"Sister Wang Mei, now, there are still some side dishes that I need you to help me do."
"Okay, no problem."
Although Ruan had discussed with the taverns that she would have to give them an answer later, she also wanted to see how well her food sold in the taverns.
Ruan Xiaodie took some cucumbers from the system and asked Wang Mei to wash them and cut them into strips, and she also took out some edamame, cleaned the hair, and then put them in a large pot to steam, and was busy until the evening, when the twilight grew thicker, slowly swallowing the last rays of light.
"Alright, you're done!" Ruan Xiaodie looked at the dishes on the stove with satisfaction, she turned around and looked at Wang Mei gratefully, "Sister Wang Mei, thank you so much, I don't know what to do without you." ”
"You're welcome, Fluttershy."
"As for the salary, I'll give it to you tomorrow."
"It's okay, Fluttershy."
After sending Wang Mei away, Ruan Xiaodie asked Lu Chuan to pull the ox cart out to a nearby tavern, and she made a few buns for the three of them to eat for dinner on the way.
Coming to the Yuelai Tavern near the town, Ruan Xiaodie asked Lu Chuan to look at the dishes outside, she stepped in first, and saw the boss counting at the counter, "Boss." ”
"Oh, it's Miss Fluttershy," the boss becomes very enthusiastic when he sees Ruan, "have you figured out how to work with us?" ”
"No, I haven't answered you this time, but I made some side dishes for you to sell, how can you buy and sell this business? I'll let you try it out first, it's not too late for us to talk about cooperation, not to mention that I lack people here, I do so much every day, and no one helps, I can't bear it. ”
"How can it, isn't there still your father-in-law outside to help you?" The boss teased.
"It's good if I don't make trouble, how can I expect him to help me?" Ruan Xiaodie smiled, but did not deny Lu Chuan's identity as a "father-in-law".
"Okay, then you're going to put things here, but it's free?"
Ruan Xiaodie covered her mouth and smiled, "How is that possible?" However, I can give you half the price, and I will give me twenty cents. ”
Before leaving, Ruan Xiaodie said to the boss, "Boss, if the trial sale is successful and you are satisfied, then please wait for my reply, the price will be more than 20 yuan." ”
How can a real business person care about a mere twenty pennies? As the saying goes, small wealth does not come out, and big wealth does not come in.
