On the road to escape famine, others ate vegetables but I ate meat

Chapter 125 Buying the Inn
The two just looked at each other quietly.

It was not until Li Yan looked distracted that Gu Jiang hurriedly helped her sit down.

"Hmm..." Li Yan frowned, her face looking somewhat painful.

"Junior sister, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Gu Jiang stared at her face nervously.

"I..." Li Yan's mind suddenly became clear.

His eyes fell on Gu Jiang's face opposite him. Third Senior Brother...

"Senior Brother..." Li Yan murmured.

Gu Jiang was delighted, "Junior sister, you..."

"Senior Brother, I..." Li Yan remembered the stupid things she had done over the years and burst into tears instantly.

"Junior sister, it's okay, it's okay." Gu Jiang wiped her tears in panic, "Junior sister, don't cry, everything is over."

Yes, it's over.

His junior sister no longer has any relationship with those people.

"Brother, I'm sorry..."

"Junior sister, you don't have to say sorry." Gu Jiang held her hand. "Junior sister, I have been thinking all these years, if I had been braver back then, would you not have suffered this disaster? But life is never the same as it used to be? Now that I have rescued you, I will take you away from the past. Are you willing?"

Li Yan's lips were trembling. How could she be so worthy to have such a good senior brother!

"Junior sister, don't refuse yet. That beast poisoned you and gave you drugs that can make you unconscious. You have eaten too much over the years and toxins have accumulated in your body. You are able to talk to me soberly now because you took the pills given by Miss Lan." Gu Jiang looked at Li Yan seriously, "Don't talk, let me finish."

Li Yan was shocked and felt ironic.

She was really blind back then...

"Junior sister, there is still half an hour left. Do you want to regain your consciousness?"

"I think so." Li Yan nodded heavily.

Rather than living in a mad and unconscious state, it is better to live soberly. Even if those memories are unbearable, isn't she far away from those people? She still has a brother who loves her. She knows that Gu Jiang did this for her.

She didn't want to make him sad either.

Gu Jiang felt relieved when he heard this.

"Junior sister, let's go find Miss Lan." Gu Jiang happily held Li Yan's hand and took her to find Lan Yue.

Tears kept welling up in Li Yan's eyes. Her senior brother... was still so good to her.

"Have you made up your mind?" Lan Yue took out a talisman. "If you have made up your mind, drink it."

Lan Yue poured Li Yan a glass of water.

Li Yan is still sober now. She picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

In less than three seconds, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

This scene scared Gu Jiang.

"Little junior sister..."

Li Yan spat out blood again and fell directly on the table.

"Miss Lan..." Gu Jiang anxiously asked Lan Yue for help.

"It's okay, just let her sleep." Lan Yue put the talisman in Li Yan's clothes, "Wash her and carry her back to the bed."

Gu Jiang was still a little shocked and confused. It was... just that simple?
Lan Yue didn't explain much.

Li Yan's poison can be dissolved with just a drop of spiritual spring water, and with the calming talisman she gave, she is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow feeling refreshed and a year or two younger.

"Now that the problem is solved, don't forget to give me your gold." Lan Yue stood up and said, "I've been in Nan'an City recently. If you can't find me, come to the Lanye Inn to find me." After saying this, Lan Yue left the room, leaving time for the suffering couple.

Gu Jiang went to get some water and came back to wipe the blood off Li Yan's body. Then, she took off her skirt, carried her to the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Looking at her face, Gu Jiang smiled silently.

He and his junior sister finally got their happy ending after all the hardships they had endured, right?

Lan Yue bought an inn in Nan'an City, replaced all the inn's staff, leaving only the loyal ones, and hired a few human chefs.

"Miss Lan, we only know how to cook ordinary home-cooked dishes. Is it not possible for us to be the chefs of the inn?"

A chubby uncle with a northern accent asked naively, "Our skills are just enough to set up a stall and earn a little money. For us to be chefs, it's a bit..." It's really difficult!

"Yeah, Miss Lan, why don't you find someone else?"

The two were originally selling noodles on the street. Who knew that after Lan Yue ate a bowl of noodles, she thought it was delicious and wanted to recruit them to the inn to make breakfast.

She was very optimistic about their cooking skills, especially their breakfast preparation.

"You will be responsible for making breakfast, which is noodles and wontons." Lan Yue signaled them to be patient. "I will give you 20 taels of silver a month, including food and accommodation. If you do well every month, you will also be paid extra wages. You will also be given bonuses during the New Year and other festivals."

When Lan Yue said this, the two of them were moved.

Twenty taels of silver a month!
They couldn't even make any money by setting up stalls, not to mention that the reward offered by Miss Lan was very tempting.

Lan Yue smiled slightly, "So, you can get fifty taels of silver a month, right? How about that? Are you willing?"

"If you have family members who need care, I can provide accommodation for you for ten cents a month as an employee benefit."

Employee Benefits?
The two of them were a little confused.

Lan Yue drank a glass of water and explained, "Employee benefits mean that if you come to work for me, I can provide accommodation and let you enjoy the treatment that a chef has."

The two understood.

"Miss Lan, you've given us such a good... benefit, we're a little embarrassed to accept it."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I just like to be nice to my subordinates." Lan Yue put down the cup and took out four written documents. "Here are the documents. If you are willing, just sign them. The probation period is three months. If you are not satisfied with my work, you can take the initiative to resign within three months, and I will pay you the corresponding compensation."

The two of them carefully read the terms above. The contract was for ten years, and the benefits that Miss Lan mentioned were also on it...

After reading it, the two signed without hesitation.

Lan Yue was very satisfied.

"Then come over tomorrow to get familiar with the inn." Lan Yue gave them a copy and kept one for herself. "If you need to bring your family, you can find our deputy boss, Pang Yan. Boss Pang, he will be your boss in the future, and what he says represents my opinion."

"Thank you Miss Blue."

Lan Yue nodded and asked them to go back first.

The two men left the inn, looking a little dazed.

They...are really lucky today, right?
"Brother, pinch me, quick, quick!"

"oops!"

"Why are you using so much force?" the chubby man glared angrily.

The thinner man laughed, "Didn't you ask me to pinch you? Does it hurt? Does it feel like this isn't a dream?"

"Isn't this nonsense?" The chubby man rolled his eyes. "Brother, I'm going back first. I want to tell my wife this good news!"

His wife no longer has to wash dishes for others and earn hard-earned money, and he is now able to support his family!
All this is thanks to Miss Lan, she is the benefactor of their family!
