Inside the house, Shopkeeper Chen looked at Xu Xiaoxi excitedly, and his eyes were shining.

Xu Xiaoxi said, "Shopkeeper Chen, can you give me the pair of pig intestines I cleaned up just now?" ”

Shopkeeper Chen nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, if the little lady wants, just take it from the restaurant in the future." ”

"No need, we can buy it, after all, it is useless, Chen shopkeeper rest assured, we are not greedy people."

Xu Xiaoxi's voice was not loud, but every word was resolute.

Shopkeeper Chen also understood that this little lady had the same temper as Lin Zhan, and he must not try to use small favors to entrap them.

Shopkeeper Chen looked at Xu Xiaoxi and said in a deep voice, "Little lady, since you have said this, I won't hide it, I want to hire you to be the chef of Furui Restaurant, Yueyin or something, you just ask." ”

Xu Xiaoxi didn't answer his words immediately, but asked, "I only made one dish, is Shopkeeper Chen sure that I can be a chef?" ”

Shopkeeper Chen's eyes were firm, "Furui Restaurant has a signature dish, I think the little lady can do it." ”

Such trust made Xu Xiaoxi a little surprised.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly said, "Twenty taels of silver per month, what does the little lady think?" ”

Twenty taels, it looks really tempting.

But Xu Xiaoxi also understands that this is not a modern workplace, and she has no fair opportunities. After accepting these twenty taels, she is only the chef of Furui Restaurant, and her hope for promotion in the future is very slim.

And Furui Restaurant is very messy now, she rashly came in for twenty taels of silver, and it will be very troublesome in the future.

With her strength, this is not her starting point.

She raised her eyes to look at Lin Zhan and asked for his opinion.

In that small mountain village, ordinary people can't earn 20 taels of silver a year, but now the shopkeeper Chen has offered a high price of 20 taels a month, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for their current situation.

Lin Zhan looked at her and said in a deep tone, "You can do it if you want to, don't do it if you don't want to do it, don't worry about me." ”

He is a man, and he naturally has a way to make money to support his family, rather than expecting a woman to make money to support his family after being busy in a restaurant.

Seeing his attitude, Xu Xiaoxi was relieved, and then said to the shopkeeper Chen, who was full of expectations, "Thank you Shopkeeper Chen for your promotion, but I don't want to be a chef, I still have two children to take care of at home, and I really can't take care of it." ”

"Ahh

Shopkeeper Chen never expected this result, and hurriedly said, "Little lady, don't you think there is too little moonsilver?" In that case, we can still discuss—"

Xu Xiaoxi smiled, and took out the money to buy the pig's intestines.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, the shopkeeper Chen gave her the pig's large intestine and the pig's water, so that there would be room for negotiation in the future.

Such a good cook, he would not let go so easily.

But Xu Xiaoxi still insisted on giving the money, and then left the kitchen with the pig's intestine.

When passing by the backyard, Lin Yucheng saw the few people who were provoking her mother outside the door, and immediately said loudly, "Didn't you say that my mother won't win?" Now that my mother has won, shouldn't you and the guys just climb out of here? ”

Those people avoided Lin Yucheng's eyes one by one, pretending not to hear anything.

Lin Yuli said angrily, "Hmph, coward, cheeky, I don't admit it if I lose—"

Xu Xiaoxi took the two children by the hand, glanced at the two people, and said in a deep voice, "Cheng'er, Li'er, in the future, you must remember to stay away from such arrogant people, be careful that thunder in the sky will affect others in the future." ”

Hearing this, the people around the women all subconsciously glanced at them and stayed away from them very tacitly.

At this time, Shopkeeper Chen said sharply, "Which few people were disrespectful to others just now, stand up and make amends!" ”

The words fell, and no one stood up.

Shopkeeper Chen shouted, "Don't want this month's salary? ”

As soon as they heard this, the women who provoked Xu Xiaoxi just now and the little boy who cleaned up the back kitchen were pushed out.

Although they were unwilling, they still made amends in front of Xu Xiaoxi one by one and learned to climb the turtle.

Lin Yucheng and Lin Yuli snorted, and then they were satisfied.

——

Leaving the restaurant, Xu Xiaoxi and the two children sat in an ox cart, Lin Zhan took them to buy the things needed to repair the bed, and then went to buy ready-to-wear clothes.

After learning that several sets of ready-to-wear clothes cost two or three taels of silver, Xu Xiaoxi decisively spent one or two taels of silver to buy two pieces of coarse cloth, and bought a slightly better fine cloth.

After all, there is not much money now, so it is better to save some money.

After shopping, I bought some pastries and sweets for the two children before the family set out on their way home.

"I just rejected Shopkeeper Chen's proposal, Xianggong - do you really have no ideas?"

Walking on the road, Xu Xiaoxi still brought up this topic.

Lin Zhan concentrated on catching the car, and didn't look back, only a deep voice came, "If you don't want to do it, don't do it, I will do it to make money to support my family, if you want, just take care of Cheng'er and Li'er." ”

His voice was as calm as ever, not taking seriously that she had turned down a good opportunity to make money.

Xu Xiaoxi thought about it, and decided to tell him what he thought in his heart, "I only made one dish today, so I only worth twenty taels of silver from Shopkeeper Chen, even if I make more in the future, it is just worth the money in the eyes of Shopkeeper Chen, and the master behind him will only think that this is the credit of Shopkeeper Chen, thinking that he has a good eye." ”

"This is not the result I want, even if I want to enter Furui Restaurant, it is not the level of Shopkeeper Chen to discuss with me."

Hearing this, Lin Zhan's calm eyes flashed with surprise.

Her thoughts—to his surprise.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Xiaoxi was afraid that he would think he was talking about a dream, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, although I rejected Furui Restaurant today, I will still think of making money, and I will never put all the burden of the family on you alone." ”

She had already thought about it, since she had come here, and the original owner's own parents were equal to not, it was better to follow Lin Zhan to live a good life.

As long as he can respect her and have a good personality, she will definitely work hard to make money, so that neither he nor his children will have to worry about food and clothing, let alone let them go to the dead end in the past.

At this moment, the ox cart suddenly stopped, and Lin Zhan also turned to look at her, staring at her with a pair of dark eyes.

Xu Xiaoxi's heart tightened when he looked at him, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

The atmosphere became tense inexplicably.

At this moment, Lin Yucheng suddenly said, "Daddy, you look at your mother like this, do you also think that your mother is very good-looking?" ”

Lin Yuli also crawled over, blocking her father's gaze, carefully examining Xu Xiaoxi's face, and then looking back at Lin Zhan, "I also think my mother is very good-looking, but Daddy, it's time for us to hurry home now, Xiao Li'er is hungry." ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhan looked at the pastry crumbs on Lin Yuli's mouth, and the corners of his lips floated with a touch of arc.

How does she look hungry?

And she just ate two big bowls of soup in the restaurant, and ate a lot of snacks on the way, and her little belly was round, who believed that she would be hungry?
