During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 251 Spying on the Military Situation

"Does Master Gu know?"

Luo Tingye's expression was a little complicated, and he said after a while: "Master Huo privately promised Master Gu that if he can enter the Dessert House, he will give him two acres of land in the countryside."

Jiang Miao understood that Master Gu might not really know, but he must have taken a fancy to his money.

"Am I too nice to people? They think I'm easy to bully and can plot whatever they want."

Jiang Miao suddenly felt a little sad.

Luo Tingye said: "Everyone has selfish intentions. It doesn't matter if you have a good relationship with the Gu family, but as time goes by, selfishness will be nurtured."

Jiang Miao's chest felt tight, so she turned around, hugged him, and rubbed his chest, "Then what do you think I should do now?"

Luo Tingye almost lost control. For a moment, he wanted to hug her and kiss her. "Actually, this matter can be solved easily."

Jiang Miao looked up at him. There was a light sandalwood scent on his body, which smelled very good.

Luo Tingye ran his slender fingers through the ends of her hair, "Since the other party is here to spy on military affairs, why not let him know."

"But how can we prevent him from knowing?"

There were waves in Luo Tingye's eyes. The little girl seemed to have become stupid. Could it be that she was tired recently?
It seems that she can't be so tired in the future and should lighten her burden.

"This is not simple. Just tell him it's fake. Anyway, the most accurate ratio of various snacks is in your hands. Without your instructions, the Gu family and his son would not dare to expose it easily."

Jiang Miao slowly propped up her body, lowered her eyes, and said slowly: "You mean to let me take advantage of your plan?"

Luo Tingye crossed his chest with his hands and said with a wicked smile, "You can also kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

Jiang Miao's eyes lit up, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

The next day, Master Gu brought the honest Master Huo to Jiang Miao, "My boss, this is the Master Huo I mentioned to you before."

Master Huo is twenty-two years old this year. He is short in stature. Standing next to Master Gu, he is half shorter than him. He has a round face and an honest look.

When she thought that this person was here to plot against her, Jiang Miao wanted to beat him out, but she held back.

"Master Gu, after telling me your story, are you really willing to come to the Dessert House?"

Master Huo shrank his hand and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I am willing."

Jiang Miao asked him to stretch out his hand.

Master Huo obediently stretched out his fingers. His hands were well maintained, the nails were clean, and there were no cracks on his hands.

"Not bad, but unfortunately I have enough people here."

"..."

Master Huo trembled after hearing this and looked at Master Gu subconsciously.

Master Gu looked puzzled. Didn't he say it well yesterday? Why is there no shortage of people today?
Jiang Miao's voice changed, "However, Master Gu told me about your situation and I know that it's not easy for you at home. Let's do this. You are responsible for helping Master Gu, and I will give you four hundred coins every month."

This price is lower than that of Spring and Autumn, and it is more than one and a half points different from that of Master Gu and his son.

Master Gu was in a daze. Could it be that what his boss said yesterday was to prevaricate him? In fact, there is really no shortage of people in the dessert shop?

If this is really the case, wouldn't he have done something wrong?

Jiang Miao stared at Master Huo and saw that he had his head lowered and his hands were rubbing together. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.Master Gu didn't dare to speak when he saw this.

"How do you think about it?"

Master Gu was worried. Master Huo's monthly salary at Yangji was [-] Wen, and the money given by Dessert Xuan was only half of the original amount. He was afraid that he would not come over.

Master Huo only hesitated for a moment, "Okay, I'll stay."

Jiang Miao didn't see happiness in her eyes. If he just left, that would be fine, but now it would take some effort for him to stay.

She was unhappy at the thought of having an enemy in the store, and it even showed on her face, "Then you can come back tomorrow."

Master Huo still wanted to fight for it, "My boss, why don't I stay today? Maybe I can help you."

"Why are you in a hurry? Let's start again tomorrow. Tomorrow is sixteen. It's half a month's time to settle wages and it's easy to do the accounts."

Jiang Miao has said this, what else can Master Huo say?
Jiang Miao said to Master Gu: "Master Gu, give Master Huo a gift and tell him the rules of the Dessert House."

Master Gu was already feeling uneasy. After meeting Jiang Miao's gaze, he pondered and nodded.

After leaving the dessert restaurant, Master Huo's face fell.

"Lao Gu, what's going on? Why did the agreed wages be reduced by more than half? That's not what you told me before. If it is four hundred coins, then what I promised you before is not enough It’s got to be less than half.”

"I don't know what's going on. My boss always treats his people well. I don't know what happened this time."

Having said this, Master Gu looked at Master Huo.

He had been an apprentice and learned the ability to observe people's emotions. Although he didn't understand why Jiang Miao wanted to lower Master Huo's wages, he could clearly feel that Jiang Miao didn't like Master Huo.

Is it because Master Huo used to be from Yang Ji?
Master Huo didn't care about the wages, since he didn't do it for long anyway.

The boss asked him to steal the formula, and agreed to give him 50 taels of silver. Compared with the 50 taels of silver, that little wage was nothing at all.

Master Gu looked at Master Huo but hesitated to speak.

"The Dessert House is not as good as Yang Ji. It doesn't need that many people. Maybe the owner thinks there are enough people and doesn't want any more. If you think the money is small, forget it and I don't want any more."

"do not."

Master Huo changed his previous anger and started to please, "How can we change what we promised? I'm just angry for a moment. Don't worry, I won't be short of what I promised you. I can see that my boss is a good man." Although the wages given to the good ones are small, they should not be as deductible as the Yang family."

"Don't worry, my boss is kind. As long as you don't go too far, my boss won't say anything. Moreover, if you do well, you will be rewarded. You didn't catch up with the clothes you just made two days ago."

Master Huo looked at Master Gu's clothes. They were made of fine cotton with dense stitching, and felt a little envious.

For all the years he had been in Yangji, the clothes he was given out were all made of fine linen, and only those in charge were given fine cotton ones.

But when he thought of 50 taels, he felt relieved. With 50 taels, he could buy land in the countryside, buy a house, and buy clothes like this.

Mrs. Gu did two arithmetic problems and wanted to show them to Jiang Miao, but seeing that she kept a downcast face and a little worried, she didn't dare to go over.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fang coughed lightly and said, "We have guests."

Mrs. Gu felt like she had been caught for doing something wrong. She lowered her head in panic and walked to the table.
