Shen pomegranate burned two stoves together, one stewed vegetables, the other baked cakes, this time there was a lot of butter left, Shen's father also loves to eat butter pancakes, she just cooks one meal a day, and she is not afraid that Shen's father will eat three highs.

When the meal was ready, Zheng and Du Niangzi helped bring it to the table, Shen Shiliu went to wash his hands and face, and then the family sat down.

Du Xuanmo has now survived the busiest time of the yamen, and he basically came over to eat dinner together. Shen Shiliu pressed a table of people, except for Shen Shu, who was not there, all the people who were important to her were here.

"I want to recruit apprentices." Shen Shiliu suddenly said during the banquet.

The Shen family and his wife looked at it, this girl is only so little, and she is going to take an apprentice?

"Not really, right?" Zheng said, accepting apprentices is not something that can be collected, and if the apprentice's character is not good, after the front foot has learned the skill, the back foot may be against the master!

"Think about it carefully, Fengyang County is just such a size, it doesn't matter if you have a store, if you open another one in the future, it won't be profitable." Father Shen also persuaded.

When Shen Shiliu heard this, he also felt that it made sense, so he said: "Then we don't accept locals, but from other places, even if they want to open a store, most of them will choose to go back to their hometown to open a store, and we have nothing to worry about." ”

"That's ......," Zheng hesitated.

Du Xuanmo said at this time: "Don't teach the foundation first. ”

Shen Shiliu nodded: "I won't teach mutton soup and ice cream, and the rest are not afraid to teach." ”

Father Shen saw that Shen Shimei was quite thoughtful, so he said, "Then you can recruit it, and the notice will be posted tomorrow." ”

decided to do this, and after the meal, Du Xuanmo helped Shen Shimei write a notice.

"What conditions do you want, in addition to being a foreigner, do you need age?" Du Xuanmo asked.

"If you are old, you have to be sixteen or seventeen years old, too small is not easy to bring, too big and has many eyes, sixteen or seventeen is the best." Shen Shiliu said that apprentices should always be smart, but they can't be too clever, otherwise they will be used to be lazy and slippery, and their character will be damaged.

Du Xuanmo wrote two strokes, and then listened to Shen Shimei say: "...... with good character"

"Huh?" Du Xuanmo looked at Shen Shimei, do you still have to be good-looking?

"That...... If you are of good character, you can look at the past...... Hehe! "Shen Shimei only found out today that Du Xuanmo is actually a big vinegar jar.

"Yes." Du Xuanmo was relieved, Shen Pomegranate was officially in his prime, and he would have to leave Fengyang County for a period of time in the future, if he got some good-looking sixteen or seventeen young people to put his fiancée around, he would not be at ease!

After the notice was written, Shen Pomegranate put it away first, and Du Niangzi went to the backyard to chat with the Zheng family, so she came to the lobby and called Du Xuanmo to go back first.

Shen Shiliu had nothing to do, so he asked Zheng Erzhu: "Brother Erzhu, I have to recruit apprentices anyway, do you want to learn?" "Anyway, whoever is taught is taught, not worse than Zheng Erzhu.

Zheng Erzhu scratched his head and smiled: "Let me eat, I guess the pot will leak when I learn to cook!" "He's not interested in cooking anymore.

Shen Shiliu was speechless, but Zheng Erzhu didn't learn if he didn't learn, teach something else, even if he wasn't a cook in the future, he could be a shopkeeper to help people.

"Brother Erzhu, let's be literate, there will be more and more places to use words in the future, and it's not enough to just understand the menu." Shen Shiliu said, in the future, he will be entrusted with important tasks, like Shen Shu at that time, illiteracy is not successful, and it is easy to be deceived.

Zheng Erzhu didn't like to read and write before, but after reading Du Xuanmo's words today, he found that writing is also a pleasing thing to the eye.

"Can I write like my brother-in-law, then?" Zheng Erzhu said.

"Yes, I still have his copybook, you can copy it!" Shen Shiliu said.

Zheng Erzhu frowned: "Pomegranate, your words and brother-in-law are not like ......"

Shen Shiliu couldn't cry or laugh, his broken words even disliked Zheng Erzhu, was it really that ugly?

"I didn't study well, if you study hard, you will definitely look good!" Shen Shiliu went back to the house to get the notebook, and then took out a cookbook for Zheng Erzhu to use.

But now she is also pressed for time, and she will be even busier after accepting the apprentice in a few days, so she still has to find a teacher, and she has to think carefully about the "staff training" in the future.

As soon as Shen Shimei's notice for recruiting apprentices was posted, many people really came to ask, but as soon as they heard that they didn't want to be local, more than half of them left, plus the age requirement, and in the end there were only three people left.

"Name, age, where is home?" Illiterate? Shen Shiliu asked.

A tall young man saw that Shen Shimei was younger than himself, and said, "Are you looking for an apprentice?" Or are you an apprentice of a master? ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "I'm looking for an apprentice, I'm the master." ”

One sentence out, two more walks, and there is only one left.

Shen Shiliu saw that there was only one left, so he asked, "Why didn't you leave?" ”

"I don't think you're small, let me ask if you can eat and live?" The boy said.

The boy is very honest, not small, and the clothes on his body are a little small.

"How old are you?" Shen Shiliu asked, looking like he was older than sixteen or seventeen. The appearance is upright, and it looks very pleasing to the eye.

"I'm seventeen, I haven't eaten well since I was a child, and I haven't grown up." The boy replied.

Shen Pomegranate smiled, this big man still hasn't eaten well? How tall it would be if you ate better!

"I have a little pocket money every month, but I also have to do the work in the restaurant on weekdays, and we don't raise lazy people!" Shen Shiliu said.

The young man nodded: "Then do you accept it, I just eat more, I don't need that pocket money, as long as I am full." ”

When Shen Shiliu heard this, he asked, "How much can you eat in one meal?" "Ask first.

"I can eat eight steamed buns with big fists...... The young man of the five ...... seemed to be afraid that people would think he ate too much, so he changed his words halfway through the words.

"Eight?" Shen Shiliu asked, that's a bit much, but when a boy of this age can eat it, it's not so scary.

"What's your name? Where is your hometown? "Shen Shiliu wants to ask about the details, although he looks honest, but he also has to look at his character, don't be a lazy man.

"My name is Wen Huai, the locust tree of the locust tree, my hometown is Pinghui County, Yizhou Prefecture, my hometown is in trouble, and I can't go on here, so I come here to join my relatives, but who wants to make a disaster here, and the food is not enough to eat, so my cousin asked me to come out to find a job that can provide food and shelter, and the family can no longer support me!" Wen Huai scratched his head honestly in the end, very embarrassed.

"Do you want to go back to your hometown after that?" Shen Shiliu asked.

Wen Huai nodded: "There is still land in my hometown, and when I get through this period, my father and grandmother still want to go back to my hometown to live." ”

"Then I'm looking for an apprentice, if you mess around here, you can't do it, and we have to sign paperwork, at least three years." Shen Shiliu said that she had just thought about this, and if she just learned to leave, she would lose a lot.

Wen Huai thought for a while and said, "Can I go back and ask my father?" ”

"Yes, my father and mother promised you to come again." Shen Shiliu nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll go!" Wen Huai said and ran away.

"Don't worry, slow down!" Shen Shiliu was afraid that this big man would bump into him, so he shouted, but Wen Huai almost didn't laugh at Shen Shimei's words.

"I'm in a hurry, if it's fast, I'll be able to take care of lunch at lunch!"

Shen Shiliu smiled, it would be good for such an honest person to be an apprentice, and it would be good to learn the craft in a down-to-earth manner in the future, and it would be good to go back to his hometown to open a small restaurant after three years.

Wen Huai came back soon, and he brought his father and mother with him.

"Girl, you are the master, my stupid son will be entrusted to the girl in the future!" Wen Huai's mother looked like a simple farmer, which reminded her of the fathers and villagers in Chaoxia Village, but what she said seemed to be to "marry" his son to her!

"Auntie, don't worry, as long as he studies hard and is diligent and willing to work, I guarantee that he can learn the craft!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile.

Wen Huai's father was also silent, with a sad face: "There is such a son in the family, he is a fool, if there is something that is not done well, the master will directly beat him and let him have a long memory!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled, they were all raised by their father's mother, whose child is not her father's baby pimple, how can she fight with her hands.

"Uncle, don't worry, my temper is not so explosive, I can't beat people, I see that your Wen Huai is an honest man, and he probably can't do it if he deceives the teacher and destroys the ancestors!" Shen Shiliu reassured the second elder, she was just accepting an apprentice, and it was like "buying a child".

Wen Huai's father and mother hurriedly waved their hands: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

"Let's talk to your family and see when he can come directly." Shen Shiliu said.

Wen Huainiang said: "Let him come over, we won't go back to our hometown until the beginning of spring next year, and we're still here these days." ”

Wen Huai's father said: "Do you need him to stay here at night?" ”

"You don't have to stay, he can go home when the work in the store is almost done, and he can live in when you go back to your hometown. But I told him that he would have to work for three years before he left, and he told his aunt and uncle, right? Shen Shiliu said, and he had to make a document in a while.

Father Wen Huai nodded: "I know, we also agree, the field at home is enough for me alone, and he is also old, so it is time to practice." ”

Shen Shiliu nodded: "That's done!" ”

After sending Wen Huai's father and mother away, Shen Shiliu saw that the time was about the same, and said directly to Wen Huai: "At noon, you come to help first, and when you have dinner, I will take you to the yamen to make documents!" ”

"Yes!" Wen Huai agreed, he had heard that the food in this restaurant was fragrant before he came, and he was happy to work here.

Wen Huai just came, and Shen Shiliu wouldn't give him any big tasks, just watch first, do chores, and the kitchen was not in a hurry to let in, just adapt to the environment here.

As soon as the noon rush hour passed, Shen Shimei made a lunch meal, porridge with cakes, plus two dishes, and six people at a table sat in a circle.

Shen Pomegranate's dishes are large, and you don't need to make too many kinds of food at home, two large dishes plus a few side dishes are more than enough for one table.

"Oh, why is this dish so fragrant? It's better than the daughter-in-law of Wu Lao Er in our village! Wen Huai sighed after taking a bite.

Shen Shiliu smiled, and wanted to ask them if the second child of Wu in the village had sequelae of cerebral thrombosis!
