At night, outside Sun Fu's restaurant.

The figures of Zhang Peng and the two slowly walked from a distance. At this time, Sun Fu was at the counter of the restaurant, carefully flipping through the account book in his hand. At this time, there were two knocks outside the door, and when Sun Fu saw this, he put down the account book in his hand, came to the door, and opened the door. The voices of Zhang Peng and the others suddenly appeared in Sun Fu's eyes.

Sun Fu looked at the two, looked at the two, smiled slightly, and was not surprised by the arrival of the two in his heart, because Sun Fu had already expected that the two would definitely come to him.

Sun Fu said with a smile: "You are finally here, you have to be a little later, old man, I will close and sleep." ”

When Zhang Peng heard Sun Fu's words, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and immediately asked, "Old man, do you know that we are coming?"

Sun Fu didn't speak, beckoned to the two, motioned for the two to come in, turned around and walked in. Zhang Peng and the two glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and walked into the restaurant. Sun Fu came to the counter, put away the account book on the table, and then pulled out a bench, placed it in front of the two, and motioned for the two to sit down.

Sun Fu said, "Of course I knew you would come. Being alive is fundamental to doing anything. If even being alive is a problem, nothing else matters. When you come to me, you still have the faith to live. ”

When Zhang Peng and the others heard Sun Fu's words, they did not refute them. Zhang Jie still had an indifferent face, turned his head and looked outside, as if the things Sun Fu said had nothing to do with him at all. It's just that Zhang Peng said: "Uncle Sun, what you said is very right. We came to you just to find a job to make ends meet. ”

"Hehe, you are young, and it is difficult to find something to do outside. The work in my restaurant is not easy, and you can't do many things, so let's do it, the kitchen still needs to brush the dishes and other people, or you try to do it first, it's very hard, but the salary is not very much. Sun Fudao.

"Uh... Uncle Sun, that's right, in fact, we didn't come to you to work for you, we just wanted to ask if there are hired workers among the people you know?" Zhang Peng said embarrassedly.

"Oh, there is, there is, my son who is not angry is a small hired hand. What's wrong?" asked Sun Fu puzzled.

"Uncle Sun, we are looking for a hired worker who can introduce the two of us to a large family to do things. Zhang Yu looked at Uncle Sun embarrassedly and said.

"Hehe, it's a good thing for young people to have ambitions, and it's better to go to a big family than to be in my small shop. It's just that you're so young, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything. Those big families don't choose people as young as you to work, except when they have a lot of work, or when they don't want to go. Sun Fu said with a smile.

"Don't like to go?" Zhang Peng asked suspiciously.

"yes. For some large families, they are extremely harsh on the people who work, especially those who are young like you, if you make a mistake, you will fight each other at every turn, so few people will choose to go to these places. Even if there is a good treatment. Sun Fu nodded and said.

"Don't you want to go to a big family? I heard my son say that the Liu Mansion in Maple Leaf City has been recruiting workers recently, but this Liu Mansion is not so easy to stay in. If you want to go and you can persevere, I can ask my son to introduce you. Sun Fudao.

"Liu Mansion!" Zhang Peng's eyes suddenly lit up, because in this Maple Leaf City, there was only one Liu Mansion, and that was Zhang Peng's goal this time.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Sun Fu thought that the two were very afraid of the Liu Mansion, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry, you can go to this Liu Mansion if you want, and if you don't want to go, you can do things here with the old man." ”

Zhang Peng just wanted to explain, but before the words could be spoken, Zhang Jie on the side preemptively said: "Uncle Sun is too careful, our two brothers choose to go to Liu's Mansion!"

Entering Liu's Mansion is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the two, and if they lose this opportunity, the two don't know what else to do.

"Little guy, you have to think clearly, this Liu Mansion is not so easy to stay in. If you are really bullied inside, it will really be a shame for the heavens and the earth. Sun Fu hurriedly said.

"Uncle Sun, you see that we are so young, others will not want us when we go to other places, although this Liu Mansion is a little harsh, but as long as we can fill our stomachs, even if we don't give us wages. Anyway, we're just trying to get enough to eat. We went to Liu's mansion, and you also have a lot less trouble. Zhang Peng said.

Sun Fu thought about it carefully, and felt that what Zhang Peng said also made some sense, looked at the two of them and sighed, and then said: "Since you insist, then tomorrow I will let my son take you to meet Steward Liu of the Liu Mansion, and he will arrange for you." But you have to be prepared. ”

Zhang Peng and Zhang Jie nodded firmly.

Subsequently, under Sun Fu's arrangement, the two stayed in this restaurant for one night, which was also the most comfortable and solid night Zhang Peng had slept in these days.

Early the next morning.

After Sun Fu called the two of them, after a simple breakfast, he handed the two to his son and asked him to take Zhang Peng and the two to Liu's mansion to meet Steward Liu.

Under the leadership of Sun Fu's son, the three of them came to the gate of Liu's mansion. The gate of Liu's Mansion is magnificent, two huge stone lions stand on both sides of the gate, the vermilion plaque hangs above the gate, and two golden characters are written on it: Liu's Mansion!

At the gate, there are four big men standing on the left and right, holding big knives. At this time, looking at Zhang Peng and the three of them directly, the middle-aged man stepped forward and made a clear understanding of the intention of one of the Liu Mansion guards after signaling Zhang Peng and the two of them to move, and the guard glanced at Zhang Peng and the two of them lightly, and nodded. Then, under the signal of the guard, the middle-aged man took Zhang Peng and the two of them into Liu's mansion through a side gate not far from the gate.

When you enter through the side door, you will see the front yard of Liu's house. This Liu Mansion is really big, and it is divided into three courtyards: the front yard, the middle yard, and the back yard. The front yard is generally used to receive VIPs, with side rooms and halls. The middle courtyard is where the people of the Liu family live and work, as well as kitchens, small gardens and other facilities, and the backyard is where the Liu family lives.

The middle-aged man took Zhang Peng and the two through the front yard and came to the middle courtyard. At this time, in the middle courtyard, many people from Liu's mansion have already begun to be busy, preparing for the day's work. The middle-aged man seems to often introduce people to work in Liu's Mansion, and many domestic servants greet him, and the middle-aged man also responds one by one. After a while, the three of them came to a larger room in the middle courtyard and met the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion.

Under the introduction of the middle-aged man, Zhang Peng and the others knew that Liu Kun, the famous housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, was a middle-aged man with a big belly, especially the two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, which gave people a shrewd and treacherous feeling.

At this time, Liu Kun was lying on the rocking chair, drinking tea leisurely, and when he saw Zhang Peng and the two behind the middle-aged man, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "Sun Jian, this is the short-term job you introduced this time? Or are you not taking my Liu Mansion in your eyes at all and prevaricating?"

Hearing Liu Kun's words, Sun Jian hurriedly stepped forward to Zhao Kun's side, nodded and said, "Ouch, Steward Liu, even if you give me a hundred guts, I don't dare to prevaricate Liu Mansion." Don't look at these two little guys, they are very shrewd. Besides, this person is not Xiao Ma, you don't have to mean it, and the rest is not enough...."After speaking, Sun Jian also squeezed his eyebrows at Liu Kun.

This Sun Jian is also worthy of being a hired laborer, and his kung fu is as pure as fire, and in a few words, he covered up the fact that no one wanted to come to Liu's Mansion. And what Sun Jian said happened to Liu Kun's appetite again. I only heard Liu Kun say leisurely: "In Liu's Mansion, only when the work is done is done, can there be food, and if the work is not done well, not only will there be no food, but you will also be beaten." Obviously, this was said to Zhang Peng and the others.

When Sun Jian heard Liu Kun's words, he knew that this matter had been done, so he quickly turned his head to look at Zhang Peng and the two and said, "Quick, don't introduce yourself to Steward Liu yet." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Peng was about to speak, when Liu Kun suddenly waved his hand and interrupted: "No need, no one in the Liu Mansion cares about the surnames of your subordinates, and in the future, one of the two of you will be called Liu Dong and the other will be Liu Xi." ”

Hearing such a casual name, the corners of Zhang Peng's mouth twitched. I was speechless for a while. But this is just thinking, the two of them can't say it, after all, what is the name, the two don't care at all, because after Zhang Peng's things are in hand, the two of them are bound to leave Liu's mansion immediately.

"Who's... Come here!" Liu Kun beckoned to a servant passing by and signaled. The person who was called hurriedly came to Liu Kun's side, bowed his hand respectfully, and said, "Steward Liu, what do you command?"

"Hmm. These two boys are new day workers, you take them to the latrine now, and let the two of them clean the latrine during this time. Liu Kun pointed at Zhang Peng and the others, and said casually.

"......." Zhang Peng was speechless again.

After Liu Kun finished speaking, he waved his hand, and when the servant saw this, he hurriedly led Zhang Peng and the others to retreat. At this time, there were only two people left in the room, Sun Jian and Liu Kun. Because the following thing for the two to discuss is the salary of Zhang Peng and the two during their short work. Generally speaking, the cost of such a subordinate who enters through the introduction of someone is generally paid to the hired worker first, and as for how much money they can get, it depends entirely on the conscience of the hired person. As for the salary, Zhang Peng and the others didn't care at all, because their purpose was just to sneak into Liu's mansion.

After a while, the servant took Zhang Peng and the others to the latrine, and said at the same time: "My name is Liu Hua, and your name is Liu Dong and Liu Xi." Just now you also heard Steward Liu's instructions, so the next thing you do is to clean the latrines in the front, middle and back courtyards, in fact, the front yard and the middle courtyard don't care so much about the details, you only need to clean up a little in the morning and afternoon. But the thatched toilet in the backyard can't be sloppy, that's the thatched toilet used by the lord and the lady, so the number of times it is usually cleaned is more, once in the morning, noon, evening and early morning, do you know?"

Zhang Peng and the two nodded. My heart was full of joy, after all, the toilet in the backyard also needed to be cleaned, so Zhang Peng and the two of them could enter the backyard naturally. This is a very good thing for Zhang Peng and the others. After all, the early hours of the morning are the most tired and sleepy time for a person, and it is much more convenient to do something at that time.

After explaining some details, Liu Hua waved his hand at the two of them and left first. At this time, only Zhang Peng and the two were left next to the toilet.

Zhang Jie has been begging in this Maple Leaf City for a few years, and he is quite clear about the affairs of Maple Leaf City. Before entering Liu's Mansion, Zhang Jie had already told him something about the situation in Liu's Mansion. After all, the Liu Mansion is a big family in Maple Leaf City, so it has spent a lot of money to hire some masters on the rivers and lakes as the guests of the Liu Mansion, but most of the people live in this front yard. Therefore, it will not have much impact on what Zhang Peng will do next. After all, the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, as the treasure of the Liu Mansion, should also be treasured in the backyard. But in the backyard, it's not to be underestimated. Because there, there are several real masters of the Liu Mansion who live there. The first one is the master of Liu's Mansion, Liu Qingfeng, this person is a master who practices foreign kung fu, and his internal strength has been cultivated to the peak of the fifth stage. The second person is Liu Qingfeng's cousin Liu Yuan, who is the red-robed young man who was riding a horse in Maple Leaf City that day. Although this person seems to be about twenty-five years old, like Liu Qingfeng, he is also a master of cultivating foreign kung fu, and his internal strength has also been cultivated to the fourth stage. The third person, Li Yi, is known as the fatal flying knife in the rivers and lakes. Although this person's strength is only worthy of entering the fourth stage, the mysterious flying knife hidden weapon in his hand is unguardable. The fourth person, who was nicknamed Butcher, no one knows what his real name is. It is said that this person was just a pig slaughterer, and by chance he saved an elder of the Ming Palace, and in order to repay the person's life-saving grace, the elder taught him a few styles of the Ming Palace's flame knife, learned a half of the butcher, and stepped into the rivers and lakes. Although it is slightly inferior to the real masters, it is also a rare opponent in this Maple Leaf City. And Liu Mansion, it is precisely because of the butcher and Li Yi that they have a smooth life in this Maple Leaf City, otherwise with the high profile of Liu Mansion's work, if they offend so many enemies, I am afraid that they would have been besieged by the masters in Maple Leaf City.
