Volume 1 Chapter 7 Three people share a room
Hou Ping and Li Tian are also about the same age, and he feels that he and Li Tian can talk about it together, and they don't talk a lot along the way.
Now we talk about the women in the courtyard
"Xiaotian, you can call your aunt or Aunt Wang, I heard that after my aunt came here, we have changed a lot.
When the aunt didn't come, one day let the thief take advantage of the loophole, the big guys rushed to work that day, and they didn't ask for leave to rest that day, and there was no one in the yard to attract thieves. It's useless to report to the officer.
Since Aunt Wang came, there has been no such situation.
Later, when the restaurant was busy, we guys got up early and returned late, and we didn't have time to wash clothes.
At this time, someone suggested that the big guy pool money to hire Aunt Wang to help wash it, and after the shopkeeper knew about it, he discussed it with the Wang steward, and the Qian Restaurant came out and hired Aunt Wang to sew and wash the clothes for the guys and clean up the courtyard. Since then, the chores on the side of the house have been taken care of by the aunt. ”
Walking outside a room with a closed door, Hou Ping said, "It's here"
"Come in, the room is a little messy, don't dislike it" Hou Ping smiled and pushed open the door of the room.
There are actually no objects in the room, except a square table in the middle, which is used for eating or putting some small objects. There is also a lit candlestick on the table.
If it weren't for the wax oil left over from the candle burning, which had spilled out of the candlestick and overflowed all around the candlestick, the table would have looked pretty neat.
Li Tian looked inside again.
There was an empty wooden bed in the corner, and there was no bedding, Li Tian thought to himself, it seemed that this was the wooden bed he was going to live in.
There's a lot of chaos up there. I don't know who put the shoes, brooms, rags and other items in a mess, and there is even a food box that Li Tian saw in the kitchen of Tianxiang Restaurant not long ago.
There was a strange smell in the house, saying that the tide was not a tide, as if something was moldy, Li Tian glanced at Hou Ping, Rao is Hou Ping was thick-skinned, and he couldn't hold back, after all, the house was like this, he couldn't get rid of it.
Two plank beds, visibly inhabited, are placed on either side. One bed was messy, the quilt was not folded, and the old clothes that had been changed were piled up haphazardly.
Hou Ping followed Li Tian's gaze and found that Li Tian was looking at the bed over there, Hou Ping smiled as if it was his bed.
What shocked Li Tian the most was that he looked carefully and found that the bed of the other resident was still lying on someone.
Because the man covered himself in the quilt and didn't snore, if Li Tian hadn't seen the quilt rising and falling slightly, he really wouldn't have found him.
"Huh? Are you lazy again? Envy...... It's really enviable~" Hou Ping also found out that there was someone on the bed, and said in a strange tone.
"Let me tell you directly, this is the shopkeeper who brought Zheng Yifan, the name sounds like a crepe, the shopkeeper's own cousin, can read and settle accounts. The raw materials of our restaurant are purchased, and the shopkeeper is not worried about others doing it, so he will hand it over to him. ”
To say that Zheng Yifan slept deep enough, both of them spoke in front of Zheng Yifan, but he hadn't woken up yet.
Li Tian was afraid of disturbing Zheng Yifan, so he put down the burden on his back. Pulled Hou Ping out to talk.
Looking at the little girl who didn't know what to play under the tree in the distance, Li Tian said to Hou Ping with some worry: "Brother Monkey, I heard that the employment arrangements of our restaurant are all in charge of the Wang Steward, and the shopkeeper arranged such an important position for Zheng Yifan, can the Wang Steward agree?" ”
Hou Ping looked left and right at no one, and the person in the room who didn't know whether he was asleep or awake was not the person in charge of the king. Only then did he whisper.
"Don't look at the king's steward, who usually shouts five and six, but he is not doing his job, and he is not so capable of managing the restaurant. The shopkeeper was hired back by the third master, and the account side has always been the shopkeeper's deal, and he goes to the third master every quarter to let the third master look at the accounts. In my opinion, the king is the third master looking at the shopkeeper. ”
Li Tian nodded thoughtfully.
Hou Ping had taken Li Tian for a long time, and he could see that Li Tian was a little absent-minded, and asked, "Xiaotian, if you have anything to say, Brother Monkey will do it for you if he can help." If you can't help, I can give you an idea. You're welcome to come, we'll all eat in the same pot in the future. ”
"Brother Monkey, I won't tell you, at Tianxiang Restaurant, when I introduced myself, the shopkeeper may misunderstand that I can read. Actually, I've heard people introduce me like that. Li Tian was still very afraid that this matter would be known to the king.
I didn't know the benefits of being a junior before, but now that I've heard others say that being a shopkeeper is better than going to the firewood room to do work, Li Tian is reluctant to go to the firewood room. I want to ask Hou Ping if there is any way.
This matter is obviously misunderstood by the king's steward, how can Li Tian be literate? It was because the family didn't have much money and didn't send him to study and read, and the Li family had a relationship with the Han family, so Li Tian could come to Tianxiang Restaurant.
Hou Ping quickly understood when he heard this, and asked Li Tian not to worry, and said that if he was a junior second, he didn't have much of a requirement, as long as he could tell the restaurant's signature dishes and good wine at various prices.
When the guests come, remember the dishes ordered by the guests, report them to the shopkeeper and the chef in the back, and then be responsible for serving the dishes, serving the wine, and finally tidying up the table after the guests leave. That's it.
"Xiaotian, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you are literate or illiterate, if there is no shortage of people in the front hall after half a year, go to the firewood room, you see that Lao Zhangtou is not so tired every day, and he still gets paid every month." Hou Ping comforted Li Tian.
Speaking of this, Li Tian suddenly understood, maybe Steward Wang didn't think he could read, otherwise he didn't verify it at that time.
Li Tian thought back and couldn't help but feel funny. At that time, it should have been Steward Wang who said a polite word, and he took it seriously, thinking that he could be a junior second.
Li Tian thought to himself, except for himself, maybe everyone understands this. The front hall is a fat errand, there is no shortage of people at all, and now the old Zhang Tou has not left, and the Wang steward does not want him to be too idle. I let myself go to the front office to help.
When Lao Zhangtou leaves, he will definitely have to go to the firewood room.
Thinking of this, Li Tian felt a little lost and a little relieved.
The disappointed thing is that the little two in the front hall can make more money, and nine out of nine have no chance with themselves.
Relaxedly, you don't have to feel as if you've been fooled by something. I feel a lot better.
At this time, Li Tian looked at the aunt who came over with the futon in her arms, and suddenly remembered that the aunt asked the two of them to clean up the house.
"Suffered, my aunt brought something, we haven't cleaned it up yet, Brother Monkey is coming......"
"Eh, I forgot about this stubble, here it is......"
The jingling sound of the two of them cleaning up their things finally woke up Zheng Yifan, and the three of them reached out together, and soon emptied the sundries on the bed before Aunt Wang arrived.
