On the second day, because it was not the day of Mu Xiu, the banquet in Luofu was set up in the afternoon, and Xia Jin did not plan to go to the banquet, so after breakfast the next day, she changed into men's clothes and took Dong Fang out.

She promised Cen Ziman that the restaurant would open within half a month, not only to find all the cooks in this half month, but also to train the cooks, so that the chefs could make the dishes in her mind, and the time was quite tight.

What's more, it is much more difficult to find four or five cooks who are willing to sell themselves into slavery than to buy a few ordinary people with skillful hands.

After all, the chef is a skilled talent, no matter how bad the mix is, it is not a problem to fry vegetables in a small restaurant or help cook in a big restaurant. Who wants to sell himself into slavery if he does not have to worry about food and clothing?

But Xia Jin must hold the cook's deed of sale in his hand here to rest assured. Otherwise, if you just taught him a few specialties here, and he was dug into a corner at a high price, or simply went to open a small restaurant by himself, wouldn't she make a wedding dress for others?

Therefore, how to find a cook who is willing to sell his body and has solid cooking skills has become a big problem.

Of course, if Xia Jin is willing to turn to Luo Qian or Cen Ziman, these problems will be solved. But leaving aside Luo Qian's cooperation with Cen Ziman, she and Luo Qian are not even friends, so naturally they can't ask Luo Qian anymore.

As for Cen Ziman, Xia Jin believes that as long as she mentions this matter, Cen Ziman is likely to take her cooks out and let them serve in the restaurant. But the chef of the Cen family, does Xia Jin dare to mention that they should change the deed of sale? As soon as these words are mentioned, it is not clear that they don't believe in Cen Ziman and Mrs. Cen to properly find the rhythm of death. But if she didn't mention it, she would be tantamount to giving her own unique skills to the Cen family. When Cen Ziman returned to the capital, he found other interesting things. As soon as the restaurant and the cook were taken back, Xia Jin was busy in vain.

Therefore, even if it is a little harder, she has to find the cook herself and hold the cook tightly in her hands. At that time, Cen Ziman and Su Mu will stop playing, and the reputation of her restaurant will be made, and she will open in a different place. Business is still booming.

You have to find your own cook. Xia Jin didn't know many people, and he had no other way, so he could only turn to Bao to inquire about Liu San.

went to Liu San's place. Dong Fang went up to pat the door for a long time, Liu Sancai was disheveled with a belt and yawned to open the door, obviously he didn't know what to do last night. Dong Fang looked at him like that. He took a few steps back, his face disgusted and disgusted. provoked Liu San to frown and look at her several times.

Xia Jin had to step forward and haha: "My little guy is not sensible, wait for me to go back and teach her a good lesson." Brother Liu doesn't remember villains, don't be like her. As he spoke, he gently kicked Dong Fang with his foot again. scolded him, "What kind of expression do you have, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Liu Sanye?" ”

Dong Fang's eyes suddenly turned red. After a while, he bit his lip and apologized to Liu San in a voice as small as a mosquito.

"Haha. No, no, no. Liu San was easy to talk about, waved his hand and said, "It's normal that Brother Dong doesn't look down on me like this." I'm just a street gangster, I don't do a good job, I run away from my wife, I'm not a good person. ”

As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes meaningfully at Xia Jin, and said with a smile: "Come in and sit down." ”

Xia Jin wanted to be polite, but looking at his expression, he was stunned, turned his head and glanced at Dong Fang deeply.

"You take care of yourself, I'll go wash up." Liu San waited for Xia Jin's master and servant to enter the courtyard, and the door was not closed, so he stretched his waist and went to the kitchen.

Dong Fang was a little uncomfortable with Xia Jin's glance, but she was not blamed by Xia Jin like Calamus, Mint and others, she would lower her head and admit her mistake, but instead stubbornly looked at Xia Jin, and tears slowly filled up in her eyes.

Dong Yan did unexpectedly well in Zhiwei Zhai. He was only a little young at the beginning, and he was plucked out a few words by Xia Jin, but now he is getting more and more comfortable, and he has the taste of a professional manager in later generations. And Dong Fang also reined in the prickly hairs all over his body, and learned to be a subordinate in a low way, Xia Jin didn't take her to heart anymore during this time, and only waited for three years to let her out to marry.

But I don't want this child to dare to blow up with her when something happens!

"You stay here." Xia Jin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his words were very tough. After saying this, she didn't look at Dong Fang a second time, and strode into the hall of Liu San's house.

Dong Fang stopped there, looked at Xia Jin's back for a while, and then turned around angrily, preparing to go down to the tree next to him, not wanting to meet Liu San coming out of the kitchen and entering the toilet at the edge of the woods.

Dong Fang let out an "ah", took a sip secretly, and trotted to the gate to stay, far away from the kitchen, toilet and hall, with a look of shame.

Liu San cleaned up properly, and he was quite particular, so he went to the kitchen to clean his hands before entering the hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xia Jin sitting in the dirty hall of his house, without the slightest disgust and discomfort in his expression, but completely fell into a situation with her little girl.

"That girl is Xia Gongzi's sweetheart?" As soon as Liu San entered the door, he lowered his voice and winked at Xia Jin, then walked to the table next to him with a smile, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all.

Seeing that Xia Jin didn't speak, only looked at himself with his eyes, Liu San raised the cup with a missing corner in his hand, and said with a smile: "I don't have a clean cup or good tea, so I won't greet you." I drank wine last night and was very thirsty, so I took two sips. ”

After saying that, he poured water again, drank two glasses in a row, and put down the cup.

"Brother Liu has worked hard." Xia Jin said, "Last night's drinking, it must be for the younger brother's business." The younger brother asked the eldest brother to do things, but he didn't let the eldest brother spend money, these two taels of silver are considered wine money, and the eldest brother will not refuse. ”

She pulled a small ingot of broken silver from her sleeve and placed it on the table.

Liu San pushed the silver to Xia Jin's side, shook his head and sighed: "You take back this silver, I didn't help you do it." ”

"What, you can't find a cook?" Rao was mentally prepared, but Xia Jin still felt quite disappointed.

Liu San nodded: "Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, there are no disasters and no difficulties, and those who know how to cook do not have to worry about finding food to eat." Last night I was looking around, but I couldn't find a good cook who would sell himself into slavery. ”

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it, Brother Liu slowly inquired for me." Xia Jin pushed the silver over again, "Whether you find it or not, Brother Liu should work hard and work hard to find the same place, you can take this silver." If you refuse, I'll be embarrassed to trouble you if something happens in the future. ”

"Okay, I'll take it." Liu San was very short of money in his hands, and he really worked hard for Xia Jin yesterday and found a lot of favors, so he didn't shirk it, and simply received the silver into his sleeve.

Liu San has no problem here, even if Xia Jin is reluctant, he has to go to Cen Ziman, otherwise if the big words come out, he will not be able to open it in half a month, and it will be in vain.

She stood up: "In that case, then I'll go and think of a way elsewhere." Brother Liu, no matter what, please help me keep an eye on this matter, if there is a good subordinate or cook, you can inform Lu Liang directly. ”

Liu San also stood up and sent Xia Jin to the door. Seeing that Xia Jin was leaving, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, people have such a ......."

Xia Jin saw him snorting and said strangely: "What person?" "This person must be very unbearable or very troublesome, which makes Liu San have such an attitude.

Sure enough, Liu San smiled bitterly and said: "There is a person in the north of the city, who used to be a restaurant at home, and his ancestors have a good craft, and when it comes to Qian family cuisine, the older generation of people in Linjiang should still have an impression." It's a pity that there is no shortage of money in this generation, he is more mixed than me, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everything, making Lao Tzu Niang angry to death, all the ancestral property was sold out, and he sold his wife and daughter a while ago, and he still owes a lot of debts. No, I broke my leg last night because I didn't pay for it. I've eaten this man's cooking, and it tastes really good, that's how ...... he is."

He said, sighing and shaking his head.

Xia Jin was speechless.

Liu San himself is a loser, and now he has such an expression when he mentions that there is no shortage of money, you can imagine how mixed it has become! That's definitely a fighter among the scum.

"Is he willing to sell himself into slavery?" Xia Jin asked.

"Hey, he is even willing to sell his wife and children, what is it to sell himself? Besides, if he doesn't pay the debt, he will be beaten to death in a few days. You bought him to save his life, why wouldn't he? ”

Seeing Xia Jin's groaning, he seemed to be a little moved, Liu San hurriedly persuaded: "Otherwise, this person will forget it." When you buy him, you not only have to sell your body for money, but also help him pay off his gambling debts. I heard that he owed ten taels of silver. There are ten taels of silver, how many good cooks can't buy it? Besides, the money is not lacking, it is just a puddle of mud, and it will never work well for you. Well, within a few days of the scar, he will definitely go to gamble secretly. When the time comes, if you don't help him, you won't be able to do it, who will call you his master? Xia Gongzi, don't worry, I'll take care of the chef's affairs for you. There's no shortage of money for this thing, so don't touch it. ”

Saying that, he patted himself lightly: "It's also my mouth, if you want to take this person out and say it, you shouldn't have heard it, Xia Gongzi." ”

Xia Jin smiled and said, "It's okay, just tell me where he lives." As for whether to use him or not, I will consider it again. ”

Liu San persuaded him twice, but seeing that Xia Jin was resolute and couldn't, he had to tell Xia Jin the address where he was not short of money.

Xia Jin said goodbye to Liu San and got into the carriage, but before she could speak, Dong Fang spoke: "Girl, the master's medical hall is booming, and the family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, why do you have to run out and show up?" The man just now was not a good person at first glance. If it is known that you are associating with him, your reputation will be ruined. ”

Xia Jin's face softened a lot. In any case, Dong Fang persuaded her from the position of an ancient woman, and her words were full of good intentions, and she had to accept this love. (To be continued)
