Chapter 262: Hu's Careful Thoughts
Chu Jianmu hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't want to buy him, I just asked him if he would like to come to work in my shop, I will take care of his food, and give him the money to start work." ”
The woman's eyes showed surprise, her son was too young, except for selling it to a rich family as a subordinate, almost no one was willing to hire such a young child, and now Chu Jianmu was willing to give him a place to live and give him a bite to eat, even if she didn't pay her, she was willing.
So, when Chu Jianmu came back, there were four more people in the carriage, in addition to the mother and son, and the woman who was kicked out by her in-laws, there was also a little girl who was driven out by her in-laws.
Chu Jianmu looked at the little girl who called her master with a milky voice, and for a while he had some doubts that he was still not the stingy Chu Jianmu he used to be, how could he see that people were pitiful, so he asked her to bring her little girl with her?
Although this little girl doesn't use labor and doesn't eat much, but such a small baby can't do anything, and she has to be coaxed by someone, alas, this person really can't be too kind-hearted, otherwise he can only dig a pit and bury himself.
Chu Jianmu thought so, and the carriage returned to the villa.
During this time, He Yue braised four more pots of lo-mei, and it didn't take long to sell out, and many people still ate well yesterday and took a carriage to buy it today.
Seeing Chu Jianmu coming back, there were two more big and two small four people behind him, and He Yue was still a little stunned for a while.
In order to avoid suspicion, she asked Chu Jianmu to buy a woman back as much as possible, but she didn't say buy a child? The older of the two children is okay and can help with some small work in the store, what can the little one do? I also have to worry that she won't be burned by hot soup because of playfulness.
It's just that after listening to Chu Jianmu talk about what happened to their two families, where would He Yue, who was already soft-hearted, still complain about Chu Jianmu? With tears in his eyes, he told the two women to work hard in the shop, and their family would not treat them badly.
The woman, who was originally afraid that her mother would be difficult to get along with, also put her mind at ease at this time and promised He Yue that she would not be lazy.
Don't look at Chu Jianmu's heart just now, but there must be rules, compared to the hired people, he has much more requirements for these two women.
It's just that in the car that came back, in front of their children who didn't say anything, let the two children sit in front at this time, Chu Jianmu called the two women to the back, and said the rules he set with a calm face, if they dared to cheat and play tricks, he didn't mind selling them back to the tooth shop.
The woman, who was originally grateful to him for not separating their mother and son, promised again and again that she would do things well and would not disappoint the old lady.
With the help of two women, she doesn't have to do much to kill chickens and deal with ingredients, only when she is too busy, she only has to do stir-fry the ingredients on weekdays, and look at the heat of the pot, and she will be relaxed all of a sudden.
Chu Jianmu, who was in the front, was not idle, collecting money, greeting guests, and busy with the back store from time to time after finishing the front store, the whole person was like a spinning top.
I was busy until the evening, and today's lo-mei was sold out, not counting the new ingredients added in the afternoon. Counting the five taels of silver earned today, the two of them were so excited that they didn't know what to say.
No wonder the shops in the villa dare to ask for dozens of taels of rent a month, this money is really easy to earn.
This is why the two of them were short of manpower at the beginning, otherwise they could make more things to sell, and they could make a dream of earning dozens of taels a day.
Well, now that there is no shortage of people in the store, Ming'er will let people send more ingredients.
Lin Xiaoman said that the chicken can be sold whole, or it can be sold separately, the price is more expensive where it is easy to sell, and the price is cheaper where it is not easy to sell, but in the end it is more expensive than selling the whole chicken alone.
In the evening, the business was closed, and the couple returned home with the lo-mei left for the family.
A chicken, two rolls of dried tofu, and some bits and pieces that are not easy to take. He Gaoyu ate the lo-mei brought back by his daughter and son-in-law, praised it again and again, and drank two more glasses of wine.
Hearing Chu Jianmu say that he went to the capital today and earned five taels of silver, He Gaoyu was stunned, when their family was the most profitable in business, they didn't dare to say that they could earn five taels of silver a day.
Although shocked, everyone was still happy in their hearts, especially Old Man He and Mrs. He were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.
The old couple asked He Yue Chu Jianmu to listen to Xiaoman's words more in the future, Xiaoman is a person who cares about family affection, and he will never treat them badly.
He Yue Chu Jianmu nodded again and again, even if Lin Xiaoman didn't make them the recipe for lo-mei, the shop she gave was enough to show that she regarded them as her own.
He Mingrui is also happy for his sister and brother-in-law, today Lin Erhu took him to meet the masters of Hedong Village, he was photographed by Mr. Xu, and he will officially go to study with Mr. Xu tomorrow.
Lin Erhu secretly told him that Mr. Xu had taught the prince to read before he was exiled, and he could ask such a scholar for teaching, he would never have imagined it before, but now he wants to become his student, it is really the ancestral tomb that smokes.
Just as he was thinking, Hu Shi next to him pulled his sleeve. When He Mingrui looked at it in puzzlement, Hu Shi looked like he wanted to say something.
He Mingrui knew that his wife was a little childish, and she was extremely timid and cowardly on weekdays, so he could only ask with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes at the table followed He Mingrui's inquiry, Hu's face turned red, "No, it's okay." ”
He Mingrui was puzzled, and his mother Pang Zi smiled: "Mingrui, don't just talk about it, your daughter-in-law is thin-skinned, maybe she wants to eat that chicken, the chicken legs are distributed to the children, you give her the chicken wings." ”
He Mingrui suddenly said, "It's all my own family, you can eat whatever you want, don't be embarrassed." ”
Hu Shi hurriedly waved his hand, "No, it's not ......"
Pang Zi still smiled, "Mingrui is right, they are all their own family, if you have anything to say in the future, you don't have to guess, Ming'er wants to eat and tell her mother, and your mother will make it for you." ”
Hu Shi listened to Pang Zi's words, and always felt that there was something in the words, but she looked at her with a smile, and she couldn't say anything when it came to her mouth, and finally only said: "Thank you, mother!" ”
The smile on Pang Zi's face became brighter, "Mingrui, I'm going to study at Mr. Xu tomorrow, I heard Erhu say that Mr. Xu is strict, and many students who are far away from home don't go home at night, and although the villa we live in now is not far from the village, it takes a lot of time to walk back and forth every day......
Before he finished speaking, Hu's face became ugly, only when Pang Zi blamed her for not being careful, he wanted to separate her from Mingrui, and leave her alone at her in-law's house at that time, but didn't she just do whatever she wanted?
Hu Shi was about to reach out and pull He Mingrui's sleeve again, wanting him not to agree to live in Hedong Village, so he heard Pang Shi continue: "I just want to rent out the shop in my father's hands, and I will take a lot of silver and two a year, and my life is better than in previous years." There happens to be a carriage at home, so it is better to hire a coachman to take Mingrui to and from school every day, and save yourself from walking in winter. ”
