Chapter 68: Tiger Girl
"So you're saying you can't go home?" Sun Yunniang said.
"Yes, even if I go home, I will still be sold to the tooth shop again, and now the house has long been unable to open the pot, and they will never take me in."
The little girl suddenly raised her head, "The left and right are also going to be sold, so it's better to follow the lady, at least the lady is a good person, I can really do any job, chop wood and make fires, clean and cook, and, by the way, I'm still very good at curling hair!"
Haircuts?
A flash of light flashed in Sun Yunniang's eyes, and she was accurately captured by the little girl.
Hurriedly said: "Don't look at me, lady, I was born in a farmer's family, I have been very talented in braiding hair since I was a child, but all the noble girl head style I have seen on the street, as long as I look at it a few more times, I can do exactly the same!" That's why all the haircuts in the village love to come to me to braid their hair, why don't you make a show for the lady now?"
Sounds like a good look, Sun Yunniang hesitated for a moment, and then sighed again.
"Actually, I'm not a good person, it's just that when I saw you just now, I remembered some of the past, and I bought you temporarily, I'm not the one who is wronged, I am kind when I see people, how do you know that following me is better than Zhang Yuanwai's house."
"That Zhang beat and killed the girl at will, and insulted and abused the girl to death...... Even if the lady beats me, at least I can live..."
The little girl's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked at herself as if she were pleading.
The small body shrunk and shrank, just like the two of them who talked back to Ya Po before.
Sun Yunniang sighed silently, under this feudal system, it is really as cheap as grass.
As long as you get the deed of sale, even if it is a killing and insult, it is not a strange thing, and it is not much different from livestock.
"My family is not one of those high-ranking compounds, nor is it a rich tyrant, and I can't afford to support people who eat idle food, have you thought clearly?"
As soon as Sun Yunniang's words fell, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to speak, "Think clearly! I will never let the lady spend six taels of silver in vain, I can endure hardship, the people in the family say that I come diligently, I will take this lady!"
The little girl lifted the snack box in Sun Yunniang's hand, the corners of her mouth were crooked, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.
Sun Yunniang was a little helpless, but when she saw the little girl's ecstatic appearance, she felt a little inexplicable lightness in her heart.
It's just that I hired a live-in nanny.
"My name is Sun Yunniang, what's your name?" Sun Yunniang asked.
"Back to the master, my name is Tiger Girl, Tiger of Tiger." Tiger Girl grinned.
Master?
Sun Yunniang immediately frowned when she heard this, she is a modern soul, where can she get used to hearing such an awkward name.
"Don't call me master, remember, you are not from my family, just call me Yun Niang."
Hu Niu touched the back of her head, as if she understood it or not, she only felt that the master didn't like it, and she didn't call it that anymore, but she still couldn't call her by her name.
"Yun, Master Yunniang!"
Sun Yunniang was speechless for a while, it is better not to change...
Thinking about it again, how could the deep-rooted concept of high and low in this feudal society be easily changed by her small person.
"That's it... Call me whatever you want."
"Master, do you want to change my name?" The tiger girl looked at Sun Yunniang with a smile,
I heard that once they are sold, the masters will change their names, after all, everyone's original names are very cheesy, and many masters don't like them.
"Do you like your current name?" Sun Yunniang looked at her steadily.
"Well, although the tiger girl is not good, but my mother gave me a name, I have been used to it for more than ten years, and I often dream that my mother calls me "Tiger Girl"." The tiger girl lowered her head, as if she remembered something, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.
Sun Yunniang also smiled slightly: "Then don't change your name, just like it."
The tiger girl raised her head suddenly, her eyes were full of stars, she had picked up a baby master.
Sun Yunniang was only easy to be satisfied with as a child, and looked at the tiger girl in shabby clothes
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he took back the food box in Hu Niu's hand and handed over a money bag.
"I still have some business to do, you go buy a few clothes and shoes first, pick your favorite dress style to buy, don't deliberately save this money, I still can't shorten your food and clothing, I will change into clean clothes later, go to the Sun's hot pot restaurant in the east to find me."
The tiger girl took the money bag in a daze, and stopped talking a little.
As if she saw something, Sun Yunniang touched Hu Niu's head again, "Don't worry, if I don't agree, I won't break my promise, go buy clothes, I'll wait for you in the store, just go in and report my name."
Hu Niu put her mind at ease, nodded vigorously, and was just about to find a ready-to-wear shop, but she took two steps and ran back, and handed back the deed of sale in her hand to Sun Yunniang.
"Since the master has left me, I still want this."
Sun Yunniang's eyebrows were twisted, how to explain to her that she couldn't accept the concept of master and servant at all.
simply took the deed of sale and tore it to shreds.
"Tiger girl, remember, you are working with me to be self-reliant, earning money from your own labor, from this day on, you are your own master, and no one can control your destiny."
Until she finished speaking and turned to leave, the tiger girl couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and muttered like a dream: "Self-reliance, no one can control my destiny?"
Years later, when Hu Niu recalled that the woman in purple said these words confidently, she still had tears in her eyes.
The person's body shone brightly, as if the Nine Heavens Fairy had descended to earth to save her life.
From this moment on, she will no longer be the wandering duckweed, and one day she will become such a self-reliant woman.
After the two separated, Sun Yunniang soon arrived at the hot pot restaurant, but the shopkeeper invited Zhang Hongsheng to take care of him for two days because of something at home.
As soon as Zhang Hongsheng saw Sun Yunniang, he led her to the box, and the joy in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, "Sun Niangzi, the matter of the capital is done!"
Sun Yunniang was taken aback, and listened to it in detail, it turned out that Qin Zhongyi contacted a wealthy businessman in the capital, and the other party had patronized Sun's hot pot in Xiuwen County many times, and he was very interested in the hot pot restaurant, and after consulting for several days, he decided to cooperate.
I heard that the scale and investment of this store are comparable to that of an ordinary small store, and the franchise fee alone paid 3,000 taels of silver.
Zhang Hongsheng immediately handed over the nine hundred taels of silver tickets, which made Sun Yunniang feel a little trance for a while.
Even if I expected the opening of the franchise store in the capital sooner or later, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in my chest.
Zhang Hongsheng was also full of joy when he talked about this, "That rich businessman is very generous, and he wants to build a store for the powerful and famous, so it will take a month to prepare in the early stage."
"Then, do you need me to go to the capital to help one or two recently?" Sun Yunniang asked.
"Not for the time being, now that the lady is gone, the store is decorating, and there is nothing to do, why don't you write a letter? If you have some good ideas that will help you start a business..."
"Opening guidance, huh?" Sun Yunniang immediately remembered this.
"Yes! It seems that the lady was talking about the "opening guidance plan" at that time, which is very subtle." Zhang Hongsheng finally remembered.
Sun Yunniang nodded and smiled, "When I go back and sort it out, I will write out the plan in the next two days, and then let someone send it to the house, which can be used as a reference for the new shopkeeper."
As he spoke, he looked at the silver ticket on the table and put it away with peace of mind.
It was as if something suddenly came to mind, and said, "Actually, there is something I want to do the shopkeeper a favor today."
Zhang Hongsheng smiled heartily, "What's the matter, although Mrs. Sun speaks, we have such a friendship, but if I can help, it is incumbent on me."
Sun Yunniang told Zhang Hongsheng that she wanted to buy a house in Xiuwen County.
The other party was stunned, didn't this little lady move to the noble man's house, what kind of house do you need to find.
Sun Yunniang saw his doubts and explained, "I'm just borrowing it temporarily, there are many uncertainties in the future, at least for now, what is his, and what is mine is mine."
Seeing that her eyes were faint and her tone was calm, Zhang Hongsheng knew that the two were not quarreling and contradictory, and he admired this woman even more in his heart.
could have married directly into the high gate to enjoy the success, but he had to be resolutely self-reliant and self-reliant, and did not depend on anyone.
Before, he was worried that she would be led by the nose, but it seemed that these thoughts were superfluous.
The matter was almost discussed, and Sun Yunniang took out the food box and prepared to add another heavy dish to the store today.
Just as he got up to go to the kitchen, a guy led a girl into the door.
"Sun Dongjia, this little girl said she came to you."
As soon as Sun Yunniang raised her eyes, a little girl in an emerald green floral cloth skirt entered the door.
The clothes are much neater, but the hair is a little messy, but it can be seen that it should be tidied up, and even the dirt on the face has been scrubbed.
So, at first glance, I didn't recognize who it was.
It wasn't until the girl shouted "master" that she suddenly realized.
After looking at it a little, in addition to her yellow face being too thin, this little girl's facial features are quite delicate.
turned around and mentioned to Zhang Hongsheng, "Shopkeeper Zhang, this is a tiger girl, and she will probably follow me to learn the craft in the future."
The tiger girl hurriedly stepped forward and gave a salute.
Zhang Hongsheng nodded and smiled: "It seems that the lady is going to train a successor."
Sun Yunniang smiled silently, and led the tiger girl to the kitchen together.
When she entered the kitchen, several chefs and men shouted "Sun Dongjia" in unison, and bowed respectfully to her.
Hu Niu was stunned on the side, why did everyone call the master the owner, and then remembered again, isn't this restaurant called Sun's hot pot restaurant?
Could it really be that the master opened it?
It's amazing, isn't it?
Before this surprise passed, I saw a few guys bring up seven plates and eight bowls of things, "Sun Dongjia, you made all the ingredients prepared before!"
Sun Yunniang glanced at the contents of the bowl, nodded, put on an apron and set up the pot.
I poured rapeseed oil into the wok, then picked up a bowl of meat and showed it to a few chefs.
"This is a strip of beef, which has been marinated with salt, cooking wine, egg whites and wet starch for a while, and the oil in the pan can be heated at four or five percent."
Then he turned around and poured the beef strips into the oil pot, as soon as he entered the pot, the big iron spoon slid the beef strips, and after stir-frying for a while, he took them out and put them aside to control the oil.
