Chapter 130 130: He really understands her style of going to the Three Treasures Hall for everything (second update)
Aunt Osmanthus did not select candidates quickly, and Chang Xi did not rush, which showed that she was extremely serious about this job.

About half an hour passed before Aunt Osmanthus picked out ten candidates for the cook.

I saw her anxiously stepping forward to return Chang Xi, and said cautiously, "Ms. Chang, I've already chosen someone."

Chang Xi put down the teacup in his hand, and told Xiao Tao, "Go and see if you are qualified?"

Without hesitation, Xiaotao stepped forward to check the ten candidates one by one, and only one of them had some dirty fingernails, and there was no major problem, so she was very sure of Aunt Osmanthus's work results.

At this point, Aunt Osmanthus was relieved, but before Mrs. Chang let go, she didn't dare to be careless, so she stood in place cautiously.

Only then did Chang Xi softly announce that she had been admitted. Seeing Aunt Osmanthus weeping with joy, although she also felt emotional, she still said, "You fought for it yourself."

Those who do not succumb to fate will one day be favored by fate.

Next, with Xiaotao as the head, and a few servants from the other courtyard as assistants, five people were selected from among the short ones and the tall ones. So far, the staff of the cooks has basically been completed.

As for testing knife skills and culinary skills, don’t be kidding. Chang Xi doesn’t run a restaurant, so there are no strict requirements for these. Anyway, for those who do hard work, the food doesn’t need to be delicate, but it must be plentiful. Fullness, this is the basic requirement, as for the taste of the food, it is fine.

Including Aunt Osmanthus, there were a total of sixteen cooks. At the beginning, Chang Xi appointed Aunt Osmanthus as the little boss, and tentatively set one tael of silver per month. This was not only an opportunity for Aunt Osmanthus to perform, but also a test.

The remaining fifteen cooks didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the hostess treated Aunt Osmanthus differently, so they didn't think that an egg hitting a rock would mess up their errand.

Aunt Osmanthus did not expect such a good thing to happen from the sky, and immediately cried happily again. Since the death of her two husbands, she was recognized by others for the first time, and it was also the first time that she did not suffer discrimination.

Li Lizheng and Fang Lizheng looked at each other silently, and didn't say anything ominous at the moment. Since Aunt Osmanthus gave her such an opportunity, it was her luck.

It's their own business that they don't like it, but they didn't really have the heart to smash the bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus rice.

Even if the unsuccessful people feel dissatisfied in their hearts, they dare not make trouble here. They can only go back with the two of them unhappily. Of course, once they leave this other courtyard, they will vent their dissatisfaction wantonly. This is human nature.

The dozen or so cooks also had to go through a short training before they could take up their jobs. Chang Xi had already written the training rules, so she handed over this task directly to Xiao Tao, letting her learn the experience of managing staff, and Aunt Osmanthus would be her assistant.

Xiaotao once again took the lead, but this time she was very calm, obviously she has learned slowly.

Chang Xi patted Aunt Osmanthus on the shoulder, "Work hard, I look forward to your performance."

She should be encouraged by some employees, and she has never been stingy. This is also a way to enhance the relationship with employees.

Sure enough, Aunt Osmanthus immediately expressed with gratitude that she would definitely do a good job. As for other beautiful words, she couldn't say a single peasant woman, and could only repeat those few words over and over again.

Chang Xi nodded in understanding.

After leaving this matter to Xiaotao, she was ready to go back to the next stage of planning, lamenting once again that there was such a shortage of manpower.

As a last resort, she turned her eyes to Xie Jin again, ready to grab his wool.

Yuan Hao hurried back early this morning. Although Xie Jin did not appear in front of Chang Xi, he knew everything about her well, so he was not surprised that Chang Xi came to her suddenly.

It was Zhou Nan who came out to welcome her in. Chang Xi nodded at Chang Sui, and then went inside. Compared with the small courtyard where she temporarily lived here, the main courtyard where Xie Jin lived was obviously more than double the size. Although the furnishings are not as good as Xiefu's study room, it can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into it.

How would you know that once you enter the back, there is something strange, compared with the mediocre front, there is a cliff behind, and there is a small explosion on the cliff, and the water flowing from it hits a small pool on the ground Inside, the water in the small pool is crystal clear, and the fish swim happily in the water, which makes this place quite spectacular.

Chang Xi stopped and took a look. In ancient times, as long as she had money, she could still enjoy many good things. This moment aroused her heroic ambition to fight.

Xie Jin glanced at her and said casually, "Can you fish?"

Only then did Chang Xi look at Xie Jin, and saw him sitting on a boulder by the pool, fishing in a bamboo hat.

She didn't dislike the dirty ground, she just sat down, "Who knows how to fish?"

I used to fish a lot in my previous life.

Xie Jin signaled Zhou Nan to bring Chang Xi a fishing rod.

Chang Xi took it and looked at the fishing gear in her hand. There was a gear on it that could roll up the fishing line, which was quite similar to the fishing tackle she used in her previous life. A fishing rod with a modern twist.

"Can't use it?" Xie Jin glanced at her, designed tools for making tea bricks, and tried to improve textile machines. Don't tell him that she doesn't even know such simple tools. He will wonder how she thought of those machines .

Chang Xi chuckled, and didn't say much. Instead, she skillfully used the fishing tool, put on the bait, and threw the hook directly into the pool, causing a few small splashes of water immediately.

Xie Jin looked at her actions, and then said nothing.

Both of them became quiet. Patience is the test of fishing, and Chang Xi didn't talk at this time. Obviously, this is not a good time to talk.

This fishing caught the setting sun and the mountain. The fish in the pool are very smart and not many bite the bait, so the fishing results are not very gratifying, but neither of them intends to catch many fish, but to enjoy The process of fishing.

Xie Jin couldn't help but glance at Chang Xi next to him, he didn't expect that she would be so in tune with him, such a woman might be as rare as Yuan Hao said.

Chang Xi had been stared at by him for too long, even if she didn't care, she would still feel uncomfortable, so she reminded with a smile, "Master Xie Jiu, is there something dirty on my face?"

Only then did Xie Jin turn his gaze away, and instead of answering, he asked, "Why did you come to see me?"

Chang Xi smiled when she heard the words, this person really understood her style of not going to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, so she said without concealment, "I came to borrow someone from Master Xie Jiu."

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment. He didn't intend to give her a hand, just to prevent her from suspecting that he wanted to put a man next to her. He didn't expect that she would come to ask for it right now.

"How many people do you want?"

"Ten boys."

Chang Xi is not greedy for too many, after all, he is not a manpower he cultivated by himself, and it will be easier to send them away in the future if they are used during the transitional period.

Xie Jin directly handed over the matter to Zhou Nan. After Zhou Nan responded, he couldn't help but look at Chang Xi a few more times. Seeing Chang Xi looking at him with a smile, he turned his eyes hastily and didn't dare to look any further.

After the matter was settled, Chang Xi didn't stay with Xie Jin for a long time, but just said goodbye, turned around and left without procrastinating at all.

Now it's Xie Jin's turn to be depressed, why can't this woman be more tactful, it's like this every time, when things are done, she turns around and leaves without hesitation.

Chang Xi didn't have the time to figure out Jin's thoughts, anyway, she had a lot of things to do, so how could she care about what the man was thinking?
When she hurried back to the place where she lived, Xiao Tao had already returned, and even the dinner was arranged.

Seeing her come back, Xiaotao first waited for Chang Xi to wash her hands, then talked about today's training by the way, and finally said with a smile, "Miss Chang, that Aunt Osmanthus is really good, I found that she can understand what I say immediately, Much smarter than other village women."

"She, is she more than good?"

Seeing Chang Xi's mysterious smile, Xiao Tao had been with her for a long time, and knew there must be something she hadn't guessed, so she hurriedly asked.

Chang Xi also wanted to test Xiao Tao, so she asked, "Why do you think I chose Aunt Osmanthus?"

Because she is smart, Xiaotao instinctively wanted to answer this, but then she overturned this idea. If it is so easy to guess what Chang Niangzi is thinking, then she is not Chang Niangzi.

Smartness is definitely one aspect, but definitely not the main factor.

Chang Xi saw Xiaotao pondering, and knew that it was a good thing to think, so she sat down to eat dinner by herself, while Xiaotao racked her brains.

It wasn't until Chang Xi finished dinner and sat down to drink tea to relieve her tiredness that Xiao Tao moved.

Feeling that Chang Xi was looking at her, Xiao Tao said softly, "Miss Chang, is it because she doesn't get along with other women in the village that you would consider using her?"

"Not bad, progress has been made during this time."

Hearing Chang Xi's praise, Xiaotao realized that she had guessed right, so she hurried over to Chang Xi's side, and boldly said what she guessed, "Miss Chang, do you want to use her to spy on other people?"

"Even though there are many verbal disputes among the women, they are from the same place, so they will naturally protect each other, and Aunt Osmanthus is the one who is excluded. She has no way out and can only rely on us. You said she would How to do it?"

"Strive for justice, be impartial, and even betray them when necessary." Xiaotao replied immediately.

Chang Xi glanced at Xiaotao, she didn't say right or wrong, but ordered Xiaotao to make another bowl of hot tea.

Xiaotao smiled, and hurried down to work, she knew she got the answer right.

Next, five young and middle-aged people from the village gathered for an interview. Although Chang Xi attended and presided over the interview, she directly handed over the matter to Xiao Tao, Aunt Osmanthus, and Manager Jin.

Compared with the calm faces of the two people next to him, Guanshi Jin was much more excited.

Xiaotao didn't know anyone in the village, so she kept records. Aunt Guihua knew the details of the males in each village, and she would do the screening to prevent impostors. The momentum of the village chief was suppressed.

This staffing was used just right, and Chang Xi directly became a hands-off shopkeeper.
