Bai Zhi looked fixedly: "Shouldn't you be the old housekeeper here?" ”

Her heart was pounding, if it wasn't for Duan Xun taking her to dodge, she would probably be skewered.

"Yes, it's the old man, and the old housekeeper here is me," the person who came was dressed in a gray jacket, with patches on it, and his beard was slightly white, and he was clean and decent.

"Old butler, don't get me wrong, I'm the new owner here, that is, this house belongs to me now," Bai Zhi was afraid that he would give him another bamboo pole and hurriedly explained.

"Oh, the owner, the old man and grandson rang, you have been in this house as a housekeeper since you were young, and now you are the fourth owner in your hand, please take care of it," the old housekeeper bowed in a proper manner.

After listening to what he said, Bai Zhi also had a plan in her heart.

She is the fourth owner, and the first three have kept him, which shows that he has his strengths.

So he spoke: "Old butler, I don't know what kind of treatment the first three owners gave you, but it's different when you come to me, what do you want?" Mention it first, and see what you can satisfy, I will satisfy you. ”

Now she also knows how to be flexible, and she did not directly mention her benefits here.

The old housekeeper shook his head: "The owner, when I was young in the past, I must have needed wages to support my family, but at my age, I still have the face to take wages again, and I can manage my food and drink, let me live here, no need for wages, I heard Qianchang also said that you are a good owner, did not drive him away, but kept him, it is difficult to find a life this year, if you don't leave him, I'm afraid the whole family will starve to death during the New Year." ”

Bai Zhi's hand hidden in his sleeve couldn't help but tremble: "Old housekeeper, what are you talking about, you were already here when you were young, and now you should take more money and less, I also said, I am different from other owners." ”

Who knew that the old housekeeper shook his head: "Although I am old now, I have just turned sixty this year, and now I have a strong body, and I can still look at them again, without dragging down my children, I can take care of food and housing, I will take care of the doorman and cook, and there is no other luxury." ”

"Old butler, do you still cook?" She asked in surprise.

I saw the old housekeeper nodded: "Yes, I am here to take care of the house, and I have always been responsible for the kitchen, and the previous owners saw that I was diligent, so they kept me." ”

"Okay, old housekeeper, I have such a job, a salary, since you can guard the door and cook, then I will give you five thousand yuan a month, Uncle Sun, I will also give a price here for one or two silver a month, what do you think?" Bai Zhi gave her the most ordinary price in her heart, just because the store has not yet opened, I don't know how the business will be in the future, so I will give a little less first, and then give them processing money when the business is good.

Who knew that the old housekeeper knelt on the ground with a 'poof' after hearing her words: "Thank you for the great kindness of the owner, the old man will never forget, Qianchang used to pay only 1,000 yuan per month, and when I came to you, I turned it ten times, and our family will never go hungry again." ”

The reason why the old housekeeper did not leave was not only because he had nowhere to go, but also because he thought that when a new owner came, he would work in the kitchen, and he could quietly leave some leftovers for his grandchildren to eat.

"Old butler, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, don't kneel, just do things for me in the future," Bai Zhi stepped forward to help him up.

The old housekeeper stood up by himself: "I'm dirty, the owner still don't stretch out his hand." ”

Angelica Angelica: ......

"Steward Sun, in the future, you will be the housekeeper in my Baizhi house, just do what you did before, now just take me to see where I live, let me know."

Steward Sun bent down slightly: "The owner will come here with me first." ”

The old housekeeper first took them to visit the main hall and the second floor, and then went to the room in the courtyard next door outside the arch, which was also a two-story building, and there was an ear room in the courtyard, and in front of it was the kitchen, although it was relatively compact, but it was still very clean.

"Old housekeeper, you said that I am the fourth-generation owner, but the house here is not so old, has someone renovated it before?" Bai Zhi turned around, and was very satisfied with these two courtyards, not only living by herself, but even if there were people, it was enough.

The old housekeeper nodded slightly and replied to her: "Owner, these houses were built from the previous owner, the previous house was too dilapidated, so I spent a high price to rebuild the house, and even the courtyard wall was newly made, only four or five years before and after, so it looks very new." ”

Bai Zhi smiled: "Old housekeeper, which room do you live in now?" ”

He pointed to the ear room in the courtyard: "The old man has been living in the ear room, although there are many empty houses, but I have always been just a janitor, I can't make much effort, and I can be satisfied with living in the ear room." ”

He was telling the truth, when he heard that the shop had suddenly changed owners, he was worried that he would be kicked out by the new owner, but he didn't expect the new owner to be such a good talker.

"Old housekeeper, I think you are walking and doing things very neatly, you don't look like a sixty-year-old person, and the ear room looks pretty good, so I won't change the house for you," Bai Zhi saw that the ear room was also very spacious, in addition to the bed, there was also a table and a soft couch, such a room, he old man made enough.

"Oh, don't say it, that's what I mean! Although the other rooms are fully equipped, I still think that this room I live in is good," the old butler smiled happily, he really wanted to do it here.

After visiting the yard, when she walked to the kitchen, it was empty, clean and almost nothing.

"Butler, what are you eating these days?" She asked, confused.

The old manager didn't speak, and lowered his head for a long time before he spoke: "Originally, the business was not very good, the food was relatively simple, and the owner changed hands in the past few days because there was no new owner coming, so the kitchen could not add ingredients. ”

After Bai Zhi listened, her eyes instantly turned red, she didn't expect that such an old man was still hungry in his territory, so she threw out fifty taels of silver tickets and put them in his hand: "Housekeeper, since you can cook, I won't invite the cook, my mouth is more picky, and the people I bring eat well, I also know that this year is a year of natural disasters, everything is expensive, you take fifty taels, go to the street to buy fish and meat, and buy all the things that the kitchen lacks at one time." ”

Having said that, she was afraid of starving people of such an age, so she said again: "When I buy vegetables, I eat a bowl of beef noodles on the street by the way, and only when I am full can I have the strength to work. ”

The old butler nodded with a trembling note, and then looked at her pleadingly.
