Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 1179

However, although the grudge has been lifted, what should be done still needs to be done.

Xiao Linzi waved his hand and gave the third son a wink: "Although we are already familiar with it, there are still necessary procedures. What I prepared here is a contract. Don't worry, this is not a contract of prostitution. It is between me and everyone. Signed contract. From now on, you will all be my Chen family's workers and my Chen Ruochu's confidantes. Signing this is nothing more than seeking peace of mind, I am not afraid that you will leave halfway, and you are not afraid that I will not pay you."

"Boss, what are you talking about! Even if you don't pay us, we will work for you!"

A young man interrupted Xiao Linzi's words, and other people immediately joined in, saying that Xiao Linzi was too out of touch.

Xiao Linzi smiled, waved his hands to silence everyone, and said: "This contract is actually just a peace of mind. I also know that if you are sincere to me, it doesn't matter if you don't sign it. If you intend to betray me in the future, just sign it." Eight out of ten isn't going to work."

As he said that, he stood up and stood tall. Everyone looked at him, only to realize that they hadn't seen him for more than a year. The boss in their eyes has grown into a young man, and he has become more and more handsome. Qiao'er began to devote herself as soon as she met.

Xiao Linzi glanced at everyone in front of him lightly, and continued: "To tell you the truth, I have left the Chen family now, and everyone said that I can enjoy the shade by leaning on a big tree with my back, but now that I don't have this big tree, will my business be able to survive in the future?" The improvement is still unknown. Brothers and sisters, your friendship with me is different from that of ordinary people. The reason why I brought you from Zhuma Town to the capital is because I don’t have any suitable helpers around me. In the end, as long as you treat me sincerely in the future, you will be my closest confidantes, Chen Ruochu, good things and good jobs, so naturally we will stick to our own people first."

The more everyone listened, the more excited their faces became. When they were little beggars, they had heard about how majestic the big managers in the shop were. How could they think that now they might have the possibility of being the big managers!

"Boss, you treat us sincerely. If we betray you, wouldn't it be ungrateful? Don't worry, my third son is definitely the most loyal one!"

The third son stood up first and swore allegiance to Xiao Linzi.

After finishing speaking, he walked to the table without even looking at the contract, and signed his name first and pressed his fingerprint.

Xiao Linzi nodded and smiled. Sanzi's performance was as he expected. Among these children, Sanzi was the one who admired him the most.

The next ones to show their attitudes were the pair of sisters. They kept saying words of gratitude and loyalty, and imitated the third son. They walked to the table and took out two contracts. The two sisters also signed their names and pressed their fingerprints. .

With the leader, the following children naturally all echoed eagerly, picked up the contract, signed it, and pressed their fingerprints.

When I was in the tofu shop, Xiao Linzi came to ask Lin Yuan to go to school, and then Lin Yuan asked these children if they would like to go.

None of them wanted to go, but it was one thing not to want to read, but another thing to know how to write.

So Lin Yuan asked Lanhua to teach these children how to write in private, not many, at least they knew some commonly used characters and could write their own names.

Speaking of which, everyone was very grateful to Lin Yuan at the time, but Lin Yuan didn't return to the tofu shop very much in the past year, and they almost forgot about the previous incident.

Forgetting does not mean ungrateful, people like Si Nier are still a minority.

The people in the room signed and pressed their fingerprints, and a group of people said something else, and there was suddenly the sound of anxious running outside.

Everyone stopped talking, and when they looked back, they saw the boy Xiao Linzi sent out to follow and protect Sinier came back in disgrace.

Xiao Linzi raised his eyebrows, as if he had already guessed what was going on.

Seeing that he came back alone, the third son asked anxiously.

The kid curled his lips, patted the footprints on his trousers, and said very aggrieved and annoyed: "Boss, third brother, you still worry about that Si Nier, and let me protect her! Huh, they don't treat us like that at all!" Seriously!"

It turned out that when the child was with Sinier, she was fine at first, and she was not noticed, but later Sinier was greedy, and happened to turn around and see him when she was eating noodles in front of a small stall.

This made Sinier anxious, she immediately put down the bowl, and greeted the kid with the bench she was sitting on.

While beating and cursing, in the end the kid was so embarrassed by her that he had no choice but to avoid it for the time being.

But Sinier had learned her lesson, she left after eating the noodles.When this kid went up to chase him, he was stopped by the owner of the noodle stall, saying that Si Nier asked him to pay.

Speaking of this, everyone present understood that Si Nier knew that he hadn't left, so she intentionally made him a partner!
Some people in the room were annoyed and some were funny, and Xiao Linzi shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, since she thinks I'm spying on her, then let her go, and hope nothing happens to her."

The third son was really angry at the moment, and opened his mouth to scold: "This thing who doesn't know good or bad, the boss sent someone to protect her, didn't know how to be grateful, and even slandered others. Whoever is idle and has nothing to do is not doing his own work to supervise her." She? She really doesn't know how to flatter her!"

After this incident, even Sanzi was completely disappointed with Sinier, and no longer persuaded Xiao Linzi to think of other ways to protect Sinier.

Xiao Linzi waved his hand, and said to the boy who was beaten: "You were beaten for no reason, and you even helped her pay for the noodles. It's hard for you. You can go to the cashier to get a tael of silver. Change into clean clothes."

Hearing that Xiao Linzi would pay a tael of silver when he made a move, he was immediately excited and happy.But when I thought about losing someone, I still felt a little guilty, and hesitated to get the money.

In the end, it was the third son who persuaded him to go and get the money before giving up.

It's all right here, so Xiao Linzi asked everyone to go to the backyard to rest.

In this way, the children from the tofu shop were settled, and a stone fell to the ground in their hearts. Xiao Linzi turned his head to look at the bag of cut embroidery, and shook his head in amused and helpless way.

But after laughing, Xiao Linzi also realized a problem, that Qiaoer had misbehaved, if she was taught by Lin Yuan that she could correct her mistakes, it would be fine, if not, she would be driven away like Si Nier or sent back to Zhuma Town let's go!
In addition to these, he also paid attention to issues that he had never paid attention to before.

In the past, he was an unfavored concubine of the Chen family. Even though Chen Haigang arranged to do some things, but because of Jiang's suppression, the maids in the mansion did not dare to show off in front of him. The women outside the mansion kept their identities, Nor would he have a relationship with a merchant bastard.

But it is different now, there is no suppression by the Jiang family, and there is no restriction of the status of a bastard, those restless women will definitely have their own ghosts.

Xiao Linzi narrowed his eyes, tapped his slender fingers rhythmically on the table, but there was a sneer on his lips.

It seems that my temper is still too good to make those people think that I have a chance to devote myself!

Humph, what a dream!

After the people in the mansion had been settled, Xiao Linzi handed over the affairs of the mansion to the third son for the time being, and took the two young men out to handle errands.

That night, Xiao Linzi came back very late, even though he was very sleepy, but the light in his room was on all night.

Early the next morning, the third son was sent to the Lin Mansion to deliver things.

The gift was nothing but the bag of embroidery that Pomegranate sent earlier.

Only this time, the embroidery is no longer incomplete, it has been mended overnight by someone.

Xiao Linzi was born in the Chen family in the south of the Yangtze River. Even a man knows some simple mending skills. In addition to his clever mind, he actually mended those tattered embroidery in one night.

Seeing these embroideries, Lin Wei was both moved and delighted, and she let go of the previous matter about Qiao'er a lot, and the barrier between the two was completely eliminated.

However, although the matter subsided, everyone felt that Xiao Linzi seemed to be a different person, his mouth became more poisonous, and he was more serious when talking to everyone.

Especially women, they are less and less afraid to talk to Xiao Linzi alone, and they feel cold all over when they look up.

San Ya'er and Yao Ya also discussed in private that the boss is such a cold person, why Qiao'er is rushing to dedicate herself, what a fool!
Of course these are all for later.

After the tenth day of the lunar new year, shops in the capital gradually reopened to welcome customers. On the fifteenth day, almost all shops in the capital had reopened. The capital was thriving and lively.

Lin Yuan took care of the matter of the cave when she was fourteen, so she came to Yimingxuan early in the morning on the fifteenth day.

Lin Yuan thought that it was early enough, but she didn't want to find out that the doors of Yimingxuan had already opened before she got out of the carriage, and there was someone earlier than her!
Tian Hui seldom went out since she became pregnant. It wasn't that she was unwell, but that Xia Zhen and Princess Anle were too strict to guard her. They were afraid that something would happen to her, so she was usually not allowed to go out.

Neither of the two bosses came, so it's Mrs. Ming who is the shopkeeper?
Lin Yuan jumped out of the carriage and tightened the cloak on her body. Sure enough, as soon as she entered the door, she heard Mrs. Ming talking to the maid Xiaohuan about various trivial matters about the opening of Yi Ming Xuan.

"Mrs. Ming, it's so early!"

A new year, a new beginning, Lin Yuan greeted Madam Ming and Xiaohuan with a smile on her face.

Madam Ming's body was facing Lin Yuan before, but after hearing Lin Yuan's voice, Lin Yuan noticed with sharp eyes that her body was indiscernibly stiff.

Just wondering, when Mrs. Ming turned around, the smile on Lin Yuan's face froze at the corner of her mouth.

What's wrong with this face?
Mrs. Ming is already in her early 30s, but because of the perennial maintenance, she doesn't look old at all.

Especially those eyes, which reveal wisdom in the silence, making people feel peaceful when they look at them.

But today she came with dark circles under her eyes. Even though Lin Yuan was still five or six steps away from her, even if Lin Yuan could clearly see that Mrs. Ming used thick makeup to cover her face, But the dark circles are still clearly visible.

"Madam, you..."

As if she didn't hear Lin Yuan's question, nor did she see the stiff expression on Lin Yuan's face, Mrs. Ming still smiled calmly, and bowed to her with Xiaohuan, her voice still gentle and generous.

"New Year's greetings to the Princess. I was thinking of coming earlier to arrange the opening, but I didn't expect the owner to come so early. It seems that we want to go together."

While speaking, Mrs. Ming had already walked in front of Lin Yuan, as if she didn't know what was happening on her face, she was still smiling and calm.

It wasn't until she got closer that Lin Yuan finally saw clearly what was going on with Mrs. Ming's "dark circles".

Those are not the dark circles under the eyes caused by staying up late or worrying at all, but the marks left by being punched on the eyes by someone.

Both of her eyes were black and black, and the left eye was more serious, obviously the injuries on the two eyes were not received on the same day.

It is said that beating people does not slap people in the face, but Mrs. Ming was slapped twice in the face in succession. What kind of grudge is it that makes her attack without mercy!
What made her even more uneasy was that even her face had suffered such a serious injury, so her body...

Lin Yuan's heart was pulled hard, and she could not help clenching her hands tightly.

"Madam...Happy New Year, thank you Madam."

Lin Yuan originally planned to ask her what happened to the injury on her face, but she changed her words when she got to the point of her mouth.

Although she hasn't been in contact with Mrs. Ming for too long, Lin Yuan thinks she knows her temperament very well.

Xia Zheng said that her husband's family also ran a teahouse before, but it closed down because of her husband's poor management and owed a lot of money.

The family lost their source of income, and the husband gave up on himself. In the end, it was Mrs. Ming who took the initiative to find work to supplement the family income.

How could such a strong woman tell others about the embarrassing things she encountered?

What's more, Mrs. Ming always talks with a smile on her face, so how could she have the nerve to expose his scars in person?
"It's not hard, after a year's rest, it's time to be full of energy!"

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't ask, Mrs. Ming's eyes quickly flashed a look of gratitude, and she became a little more cordial when she spoke to Lin Yuan again.

It was still early before the reopening time, and no one else in the store had come, so Lin Yuan and Mrs. Ming re-checked Yimingxuan up and down.

If you haven't been in the store for so long, you must check it carefully.

After patrolling up and down, the two talked and laughed all the way, as if the injury on Mrs. Ming's face didn't exist at all.

Only Xiaohuan followed the two of them lonely, biting her lips tightly and looking at her wife with distress.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the auspicious time for reopening is also getting higher and higher. The maids in the store have also arrived one after another. When everyone meets, there are all kinds of auspicious words for New Year's greetings. Bring the prepared food to the store and share it with everyone!

Although there were many people in the shop, no one asked about the injury on Mrs. Ming's face, and no one even discussed with each other in private.

Even Daye, who has always been outspoken and unable to hide his words, controlled his mouth for the first time, and only talked about new things during the Chinese New Year with a few girls he was close to.

It's just that those eyes are always looking worriedly at Mrs. Ming's face, clenched fists.

Lin Yuan believed that if she knew who bullied Mrs. Ming, she would be the first to rush to seek justice for Mrs. Ming!

When the stores in the capital reopened, they basically set off firecrackers, trying to increase their business this year.

Lin Yuan was no exception. She had already prepared a lot of firecrackers and placed them in front of the store. She even brought two servants from Dongtian to light the firecrackers.

There was a crackling sound, and the entrance of Yimingxuan was very lively, attracting many people to come to watch the excitement.

The opening of the store was ready. After Lin Yuan and Mrs. Ming entered the door, they asked everyone to go to work in the store according to their assigned tasks.

Although today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there are not many people out for a stroll during the daytime. Usually, no one will appear on the street until it gets dark.

So this morning's thing is to be busy cleaning the store, and then prepare all kinds of tea and tea sets.

Everyone went to work, and Madam Ming directed everyone to be busy in an orderly manner. Anyway, Lin Yuan had nothing to do, so Madam Ming persuaded her to go to the room to rest.

As soon as Lin Yuan entered the room to rest, she gave Narcissus a wink and asked her to find a chance to find Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan is Mrs. Ming's personal maid. Even though Mrs. Ming is the shopkeeper, Xiaohuan is not considered a maid in the store, so what Xiaohuan has to do is to follow Mrs. Ming and help her.

Seeing Narcissus winking at her all the time, Xiaohuan rolled her eyes and told Mrs. Ming that she was going to bring her a cup of tea to soothe her throat.

Mrs. Ming was discussing with Daye and Shui Ling about the various new dishes that appeared in the story. After listening to Xiaohuan's words, she did not suspect him, so she just told her to prepare some tea for everyone.

Xiaohuan couldn't wait for her wish, and immediately agreed happily and walked away.

Narcissus took the initiative to prepare the tea and asked Xiaohuan to talk in Lin Yuan's room.

Xiaohuan is a smart girl, and she already guessed Lin Yuan's purpose for looking for her when Narcissus winked at her.

So when Lin Yuan asked about the injury on Mrs. Ming's face, she didn't show much surprise.

She bit her lip, her eyebrows were tightly frowned, as if she was in an ideological struggle.

Finally, Xiaohuan stomped her little feet, nodded as if making up her mind, and knelt down in front of Lin Yuan with a plop.

"Princess, please save my wife!"

Lin Yuan was taken aback for a moment, she never thought that Xiaohuan would act like this when she entered the door, it really surprised her!

However, accidents were accidents, Lin Yuan's guess was confirmed, and Mrs. Ming really encountered a difficult situation.

"Get up first. Since I called you over to ask questions, I naturally want to help Mrs. Ming."

But no matter what Lin Yuan said, Xiaohuan didn't stand up, her knees seemed to be glued to the ground.

Lin Yuan sighed slightly, knowing that the girl was loyal to protect the lord, so she stopped worrying about her kneeling, and hurriedly asked about Mrs. Ming's situation.

Xiaohuan bit her lip, forced back the tears in her eyes, choked up and said: "Princess, my wife's life is hard, she, she is really hard."

Xiaohuan knelt on the ground and told the story while holding back tears. Even if she was not the person involved, Lin Yuan, the audience, felt chilled by what happened to Mrs. Ming.

As Xia Zheng investigated, Mrs. Ming's husband's family did run a tea house before, and it was indeed closed down due to poor management.

The only difference is that Mrs. Ming's husband was not only passive and decadent, but even worse than before. Even though he moved out of the old mansion and came to live in a village in the countryside, he was even more philandering than before.

In order to reduce expenses, the original concubines in the family were dismissed by Mrs. Ming, and some who did not want to leave stayed in the Zhuangzi, but they could no longer eat and drink like before, and had to do embroidery all day long to help support the family. .

All the women in the family tried their best to earn money to help repay the debts, but Mrs. Ming's husband, unrepentant, brought women from outside into the village every three days.

All kinds of expenses were like running water, Mrs. Ming was angry and impatient, and tried to persuade her husband to restrain himself several times, but her husband didn't listen to the persuasion.

Mrs. Ming knew she couldn't persuade her husband, so she went to her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law is a very strict old woman, but this kind of strictness has always been only to her daughter-in-law, not to her son.

After hearing Mrs. Ming's words, the old woman didn't say a word, she threw the teacup in her hand on Mrs. Ming's head and cursed loudly.

"It's all you bastard! If Feng'er didn't listen to the persuasion and insisted on marrying you, our family wouldn't be in this situation! Now that you can't manage your husband by yourself, you have no shame in coming to me to complain to him Our family can’t tolerate you, a careless and narrow-minded broom star like you, so if you want to leave, you can leave! Don’t make excuses to pour dirty water on my son!”

The teacup was smashed by the old woman, and the blood flowed from Madam Ming's head, but the old woman didn't seem to see it, and let her stand like that until she was tired of scolding, until she felt that the blood on her head was no longer flowing. Scabs began to form, and the old woman waved her hands in disgust to let her go.

Mrs. Ming was beaten by her husband first, and then scolded by her mother-in-law, how could she not feel wronged?
In addition, the old woman blamed herself for the downfall of the family, which made her even more indignant.

Why did the teahouse at home close down?Isn't it because her good son doesn't know people well?Let the shopkeeper sneak away with a lot of money and goods in the store?
Now they are actually blaming her instead. Could it be that they all forgot that the shopkeeper is still a relative of the old woman who has not received the five blessings!
Mrs. Ming returned to her room, sat blankly, let Xiaohuan help her clean up the injury on her head, her mind was full of thoughts about what the old woman told her to get out.

However, the picture in front of me changed sharply, showing the love and sweetness between her and her husband when they were young, and the ecstatic look of her husband when she gave birth to her son, and her husband sitting beside her and swore to love her and her son. Good words for a lifetime.

Mrs. Ming's heart softened. After all, she was not willing to leave her husband, nor was she willing to leave this battered home.
