Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 654 Waiting
This feeling is so important to people like them who have been despised for many years.

If working here before at Song Chen was the first light in their lives, then now it is this light that has completely illuminated their lives and left a mark on them.

What was branded was loyalty to Song Chen.

Song Chen didn't know that they would have such a change of mind in such a short period of time, and was about to start distributing New Year's gifts.

"The cook comes first."

Everyone who works here has been checked by Song Chen herself, even the cook, and Song Chen has always believed in her own vision, at least so far she has not misjudged them.

When the cook heard that Song Chen had called her, she quickly stepped forward. Another man standing aside took out a bag of grain with one hand, "Twenty kilograms of grain, just a lot more."

Song Chen also opened the small box in front of him, took out one of the bags and handed it to the cook.

"Here is one month's salary that we agreed upon before, and the rest is the year-end bonus for you. Thank you for your hard work. Remember to come on time on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."

The cook took the money bag from Song Chen's hand with red eyes, but her expression instantly froze on her face, "My boss girl, this... I can't do this!"

After saying that, she was about to return the money bag in her hand to Song Chen. If Song Chen hadn't told her to come on time on the eighth day of the lunar month, she would probably have knelt down in front of Song Chen.

Her monthly salary was one tael and a half, and she had lunch here just like the other girls. Since there was only one mother-in-law and son at home, Miss Qiu'an allowed her to take the leftovers if she didn't finish the meal at noon. I took the leftovers home with me.

She had already felt ashamed of the twenty kilograms of food before, but now this money...she didn't dare to take it no matter what.

I just held it in my hand, I'm afraid there are ten liang.

It was almost as much as her annual salary, and she really couldn't ask for it.

Song Chen smiled, "There's nothing I can't do. I've said before that I won't treat you badly as long as you do your job well. You did a good job in the kitchen, and the people working in front of them also ate well. , if you eat well, you will not delay making money, you will be a hero, and you deserve this money."

It was not that Song Chen had never experienced poverty, he knew what ten taels of silver meant to an ordinary family. For a simple family like the cook, according to the living standards of Shangjing, these ten taels of silver would be enough for them to live for a year.

"But...but this is too much."

Faced with so much money, it would be a lie for the cook not to be moved. After all, the money is enough to solve their family's current predicament, but her reason still tells her that people cannot be greedy.

"You must not know from the back. Although our shop has not been open for a long time, the business is still good. Your dividends will naturally be larger. I will not make a loss in business."

Having said this, the cook still dared to refuse. As a result, Song Chen thanked her profusely for the money bag and quickly stuffed it in her chest.

After the cooks were handed out, they came to the girls working in front. Song Chen gave them the same treatment, 20 taels of wages and bonuses for each of them, and the annual gifts were the same as those of the cooks.

However, Song Chen also prepared some other things for them, which will be given to them after the new year.

Several girls were holding the money bags in their hands, and their eyes were red from crying.After living for so many years, it was the first time they felt useful, the first time they felt they were treated like human beings and respected. This feeling they would never forget throughout their lives.

Song Chen also knew that the New Year gifts he gave out were a bit too eye-catching. After giving them out, he asked Qiu An to get a carriage, put all their things on the carriage, and took them back one by one. .

Without exception, their family members were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time when they saw these benefits. With these things, this year is really a blessing.

This is all on the premise that these girls have not come up with any money, but these girls have been working in Song Chen's shop for so long and have kept it in mind. They all have older brothers or younger brothers at home, and Song Chen gave them 20 taels. They didn't take out all the wages and bonuses, but they discussed it all before going back. Only half of them were given to the family, and the rest was kept in the shop.

Because they know that all the money has been given away, and not even a tenth of it can be spent on themselves in the end. It is impossible for them not to get married in the future. After marrying, the dowry is their confidence, which determines their future in their husband's family. Are you having a good time?

Song Chen had already understood their family situation before deciding to use them. Naturally, he knew that they had no choice but to do this now. Song Chen admired people like this who knew how to plan for themselves, so he asked Qiu An to take care of this matter. Things settled down.

After they left, Song Chen and Qiu An were the only two people left in the shop.

Not long after they left, the two heard some sneaky noises at the back door. They exchanged a look, and they still did what they had to do.

Fortunately, when they went back earlier, Qiu An did not let them go through the back door, but took another more remote side door.

At that time, because they all brought money and food, they thought Song Chen had arranged this arrangement because he didn't want them to attract attention. They didn't suspect anything and just followed him out quietly.

It didn't let the people outside notice where they went after leaving, which could be regarded as protecting their safety. So...the next step is to lure these people over.

Song Chen glanced at Qiu An again, and Qiu An immediately understood and said loudly, "Girl, they have packed up the shop. When will we go back?"

"Later, I still have to settle accounts, just leave a back door."

"Hey, that's cool. Then I'll go to the front to have a look and bring over all the account books and everything."

After saying that, Qiu An actually went to the front, collected all the membership information and other things, and opened the door of the shop in front a small crack to observe the situation outside.

Although her observation ability was not as good as Song Chen's, it was much better than that of ordinary people. Those years of training were not in vain. She had already figured out the situation outside in a short time.

Returning to Song Chen, he told Song Chen what he had observed by ear.

"There are still two or three people hanging around in front of you. They should be making final confirmations. Most of the people should have gathered at the back door. Their target is you."

Song Chen understood and gently replied with two words, "It's dark."

After Cang Xiuxuan came to power, the curfew was re-instated, and all the shops on the street closed at the time of Youshi. After dark, there were basically no people on the street.
