Chapter 24: Jiang Zimo

Hearing this, Jiang Zimo's eyes widened slightly, and there was some disbelief in his voice, "You want to hire me as a shopkeeper?" I am also allowed to read books while I work? ”

The girl's delicate face reflected in her eyes was full of smiles, and the corners of her lips were hooked in a playful arc, as if she was telling him that the weather was so good today.

But for some reason, he just believed her, not because she could afford to pay fifty-two taels for the car, but because of her pampered and calm temperament.

is obviously a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, but it always makes him feel that he doesn't dare to ignore her.

"Naturally, you are a scholar, I believe in your ability to take care of the shop, and I am not asking you to do a chorion, of course you can read books when you are idle." Looking at Jiang Zimo's somewhat surprised and sluggish face, Lin Yao straightened up with a smile, walked a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said, "Don't thank me, I just think that your life should not be like this, if you really win the top talent in the future, don't forget your boss and my promotion to you." ”

The girl's crisp and pleasant voice sounded in his ears, Jiang Zimo came back to his senses, he knew that what she said was just to make him look decent, and he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

He pursed his lips slightly, looked up at Lin Yao steadily, and said seriously, "Okay, I'll go!"

Hearing this, Lin Yao smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Okay, then it's decided, but my family is busy building a house these days, and I'm a little busy, but I promise you that within ten days, I will definitely come back to you, how about it?" ”

Jiang Zimo smiled and bowed his head, "Of course you can." ”

"Haha, that's good." Solving a problem in her heart, Lin Yao felt as if she was a lot more relaxed, and she didn't bother him to load the carriage, pacing slowly, secretly thinking that the shopkeeper had been invited, and it seemed that she was going to hurry up and prepare the Panjia store these days.

After loading the carriage, Jiang Zimo told Lin Yao a few more times about the skills of driving the carriage, Lin Yao listened carefully, and found that the horses here have been trained to drive the carriage since childhood, you only need to shout a tone word and control the strength of the reins a little, and the horses will naturally drive according to your ideas.

After Lin Yao understood, he practiced a few more times, and finally was able to get on the road safely.

She sat in the carriage and waved her hand to Jiang Zimo with a smile, "Goodbye, remember to wait for me?" Then he shouted "Drive!" and drove away with the reins in a dashing manner.

Leaving a thin Jiang Zimo in place, watching the girl's figure gradually disappear from his sight.

He didn't know how many years later, he found out that the most correct decision he had made was to promise Lin Yao to be her shopkeeper, and this girl was his salvation in the most difficult period.

——————

The breeze on the road blew on Lin Yao's face, she couldn't help but squint comfortably, after having the carriage, not only was it convenient for her to travel, but she could also lead Yao's mother and Xiaodouding to the town to have a good time when she was idle.

Thinking that there were still some things to buy, she did not rush home, but drove the carriage to the downtown area.

As soon as the carriage entered the crowd, Lin Yao let out a "call" and tightened the reins, and the horse instantly slowed down his pace and paced slowly.

When the people around saw that it was a little girl in tattered clothes driving the carriage, they all guessed that there should be a rich man sitting in the carriage, and she was just a maid who drove the carriage for people, but they didn't expect that this carriage would be bought by this inconspicuous little girl.

Lin Yao ignored the stares of the people around her, she first came to the rice store, bought one hundred and fifty catties of polished rice, and then found a seed store to buy some vegetable seeds.

On the way, she met a meat stall again, she spent five cents to buy ten pig bones, ready to boil bone porridge for the workers who worked tomorrow morning, next to the meat stall was a fruit stall, Lin Yao bought some pears and peaches by the way, and went back, ready to supplement vitamins for Yao's mother and Xiaodouding.

Thinking that all the vegetables at home had been eaten, she went to a vegetable stall again, bought some cabbage and green peppers, and then gave up with satisfaction and drove home in the carriage.

As soon as she returned to the village gate, the villagers who were chatting nearby saw her, and when they saw that she was driving a carriage, everyone exploded in an instant.

"My God, you see, the Yao girl of the Lin family is actually driving a carriage, isn't it that I am dazzled."

"I also saw it, I really have the ability, it's only been a few days, the house has been built, and I can buy a big horse, I'm really capable, this is not fifty taels of silver."

"Cut, who knows if it's rented, this horse is worth several houses, and she can afford a little girl no matter how capable she is?"

"Eh, her aunt, don't you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, this Yao girl's change is big in her eyes, why can't she afford to buy a carriage?"

……

Listening to the discussions of the surrounding villagers, Lin Yao didn't pay attention to it and drove straight to Lin's house.

As a result, before she arrived at the door, Lin Yao saw the villagers gathered on the construction site next to her house from a distance.

Confused, she drove the carriage into the yard and parked it.

Hearing the movement, the villagers who were still watching the construction site hurriedly turned around and found that it was Lin Yao who was unloading the carriage, and everyone looked at each other in amazement.

"Yo, Yaoyao is back, where did you get this carriage?" A sharp-eyed woman stepped forward and asked enviously.

Lin Yao smiled slightly and said, "I bought it." ”

"What? Bought? ”

"Eh, this Lin girl is really amazing, she can afford to buy a carriage, it's really a blessing in our village." The other woman rolled her eyes and said flatteringly.

"Yes, you have the ability......"

……

Lin Yao smiled and didn't reply.

Yao's mother, who heard the movement, found that it was Lin Yao who came back, and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards her like a big release.

She couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, it seems that she, a mother who is not good at words, is probably surrounded by these villagers and is at a loss.

She smiled at Yao's mother while unloading the carriage and said, "Mother, the family is all right." ”

Looking at the surrounding villagers, Yao's mother had a slightly twisted expression, and said with a dry smile, "It's okay." Seeing the carriage in front of Lin Yao again, he instantly pointed to the carriage in surprise and said, "Yaoyao, this is, you bought it?" ”

"Yes, mother, it's convenient to get to the town this way." Saying that, Lin Yao untied the reins, touched the horse's head, and led it to the yard to tie it.

Then she walked out of the courtyard and said to the villagers who were still watching the excitement, "Folks, it's not too early this day, so you should all go back quickly." ”

Hearing this, everyone also knew that Lin Yao was driving people away, and after watching the excitement, they left each other after a few words of greeting.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Yao's mother hurriedly rushed to Lin Yao, and asked with surprise and joy on her face, "Yaoyao, is this horse really bought by our family?" ”

"Of course, the receipt for this carriage is still with me." As she spoke, she took out the list from her arms and handed it to Yao's mother.

Yao's mother was illiterate, but she looked like it, so she believed it, grinned instantly, and hurriedly ran back to the yard to look at the brown horse, she stretched out her hand to touch it, but she was afraid that it would kick herself, so she never dared to do it.

When Lin Yao saw it, she stepped forward and touched the horse with some tears and laughter, and said, "It's okay, mother, you can touch it, it's a mare, very docile." ”

Hearing this, Yao's mother dared to touch it, feeling the warm and smooth fur under her palm, her eyes were full of joy, and she turned her head to Lin Yao and said, "Yaoyao, this horse is very expensive, can your rose water be sold for so much money?" ”

So Lin Yao told her in detail about selling meat sauce recipes, Yao's mother was secretly surprised while listening, she really didn't expect that a meat sauce recipe could be sold for one hundred and fifty taels of silver, her big girl's little head melon seeds are really good.

After happily touching the horse, Yao's mother helped Lin Yao carry all the things in the car into the house.

"Mother, I bought some peaches and pears, you and Xiaobao eat them when they are hungry at home, this fruit is very good for the human body." Saying that, Lin Yao put the fruit on the table, took out the vegetable seeds he had just bought, and said, "Mother, this is the vegetable seeds of radish and cabbage I bought, you can plant them in our yard when you have time, and you can harvest a crop of vegetables to eat before autumn!"

"Eh, my mother knows." Yao's mother happily remembered Lin Yao's words one by one.

Suddenly, she remembered the abnormality of the villagers today, and hurriedly said to Lin Yao, "Yaoyao, today the villagers came to our house and asked me if I could recruit workers, your second aunt said that her strong son happened to be at home and could come to help, and your aunt Wang ......"

"Mother, no need." Lin Yao hurriedly interrupted her, "These workers invited by our family are enough, if someone still stuffs people with you in the future, you can say that our family is no longer short of people, and there is no need to avoid too much." ”

Hearing this, Yao's mother nodded in understanding, "Eh, my mother understands." ”

After tidying up the things, Lin Yao began to cook dinner, and at noon, there was still some rice steamed by Yao's mother, so Lin Yao cut some meat and prepared to make a stir-fried meat with green peppers.

was stir-frying, and Xiao Douding's joyful voice came from outside the house, "Sister, sister, the horse in the yard is so majestic." ”

Xiao Douding ran all the way into the house with a basket on his back, and asked Lin Yao with a smile on his sweaty little face, "Sister, our family has a big horse, can I ride a big horse when I grow up?" ”

Every little boy has a hero in his heart, and Xiao Douding once said to the original owner that he wants to be able to ride a tall horse when he grows up, hold on to a machete, charge into battle, and defend his family and country.

Lin Yao replied with a smile while stir-frying, "Of course you can, but then you have to eat well, so that you can grow up and ride a big horse quickly." ”

"Hmm!" Little Douding ran out excitedly again, and put all the grass in the basket that should have been fed to the chickens beside the horse, while he stared at the horse grazing with great interest.

Lin Yao tilted her neck and couldn't help but chuckle when she saw it, shook her head, and continued to fry the vegetables.

After a while, Lin Yao cooked the meal, and called Xiaodouding into the house to eat, the little guy reluctantly entered the house, as if he thought of something, he suddenly came to Lin Yao's side excitedly and asked, "Sister, what's the name of this horse?" ”

This can be regarded as a question about Lin Yao, she blinked, looked at the horse outside the house and lowered her head to graze, instantly thought of something, pointed to the horse and said, "You see that the horse has a pinch of white crescent-shaped hair on the top of its head, why don't we call her Yue'er." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Douding's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily, "Well, it's called Yue'er!" It's so good!"

——————

At night, Lin Yao, who had been busy all day, lay in the bathtub and took a bath, she closed her eyes comfortably, thinking that she would go to see what better shops she would have after selling rose water tomorrow, so that her business could get on the right track as soon as possible, and she didn't have to run around so troublesomely.

Early the next morning, Lin Yao got up early, smashed the ten pig bones she bought yesterday, boiled porridge, and then served it to the workers who had already started working outside the house.

She found that the foundation was halfway laid, and it seemed that the process was quite fast.

"Uncle Li, there's nothing wrong here, right?" Lin Yao asked while serving a bowl of porridge and handing it to him.

Uncle Li took the bowl and said with a smile, "Don't worry, little owner, everything is going well!" You see that the dragon has been laid, I thought there would be some emergencies when I got started for the first time, but I didn't expect to do it according to the drawings you gave the little owner, and it went surprisingly smoothly!"

Hearing this, Lin Yao smiled and nodded reassuringly.
