Yipin Farmer's Wife

Chapter 16 Pie from the Sky? (2)
The village chief's home is at the entrance of the village, a courtyard house where Zhang Youcai and his brothers live together, and the courtyard occupies a large area.Han Chulan had never entered the village chief's house, and she only glanced at it when passing by, but when other villagers passed by, they would walk by quickly, treating the courtyard house as a scourge and avoiding it.The ancient people were more superstitious than the modern people, and Han Chulan knew this.

The same is true for Mrs. Li. When she walked past the village chief's house, she dragged Han Chulan and walked past quickly, still chanting Bodhisattva's blessing in a low voice.

"Mother, there will be no ghosts in this world." Han Chulan said coldly.

"Who says there are no ghosts? What Mrs. Fu saw last night must be a ghost." Li is convinced of the haunting, Han Chulan's words made her a little nervous, and she whispered: "Lan'er, don't say such things again Otherwise, those ghosts will come to you when they hear about it.”

Han Chulan smiled, and didn't continue talking about this topic with her mother-in-law.

It takes half an hour to walk from Zhangjia Village to Qingshui County. Fortunately, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got up early, and when they arrived in Qingshui County, the market began to be lively.

It was the first time for Han Chulan to go to the market, and she felt novelty about everything. She felt that the ancient market is not inferior to the modern market. There are all kinds of small stalls, restaurants, and teahouses. There are people selling everything. It can be said that there is everything you need .

Li Shi hadn't been to the market for a long time, and she seemed happier than Han Chulan.

Han Chulan planned to buy some meat first, and then buy food.

However, Mrs. Li followed the crowd to a place. Han Chulan hurriedly pulled Mrs. Li and asked, "Mother, let's go buy some meat first."

Mrs. Li pointed to the front and said: "So many people are rushing to the Jinyutang restaurant, something must have happened, let's go and watch the excitement. Lan'er, this Jinyutang restaurant is the largest restaurant in Qingshui County , is the property of the Yang family, the richest man in Qingshui County. Look at the restaurant, the decoration is several times higher than others. It is said that those who can enter and exit the Jinyutang Restaurant are either rich or expensive. In Qingshui County, Jinyutang is as high as a palace."

Han Chulan glanced at the antique restaurant in front of him, compared to the surrounding shops, that restaurant was indeed the best.I just don't know if the business can be done with such a high-end decoration?But at the moment, the front of the restaurant was full of people, it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of ​​people.She was also a little curious, so Han Chulan went with Mrs. Li to see what happened.

The steps in front of the Jinyutang restaurant were crowded with people, but there were not many people inside the restaurant, but people could still be seen entering and exiting.

"Excuse me, what happened here? Why does everyone come here?" Mrs. Li grabbed a woman and asked probingly.

The woman explained with a smile: "You haven't been to the market for a long time, and you don't even know that Jinyutang restaurant is going to hire a new cook. Make a dish for Mr. Yang to taste. If you can make him eat three bites, you will be rewarded with a penny. If you keep him as a handyman, you will be trained as a cook in the future. If you can make him eat more than six bites, you will be rewarded with a tael of silver. , stay and train the chef of the ingredient shop, if he can finish a plate of dishes, he will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and after the assessment, if he passes the test, he can stay as a chef and receive 50 taels of silver every month."

"It's such a good thing!" Mrs. Li smiled, thinking that Jinyutang Restaurant hired a cook, it's a great thing.How nice it is to get reward money after frying vegetables for others to eat.

The woman smiled: "Sounds like a good thing. Everyone knows that the young master of the Yang family has the most tricky mouth. Since the news came out that their restaurant wanted to hire a cook, more than a dozen people went in to try it every day, but no one was alone. It will allow Young Master Yang to have a second bite of food, so it’s not a coincidence that he received 50 taels of silver that month.”

When Han Chulan heard that Jin Yutang wanted to hire a cook, she was not very interested. Although she was good at cooking, they were all home-cooked dishes. In places like restaurants, the dishes should not only taste good, but also look good. She Although it can be reluctant, it is not sure.But when she heard that if you can make Mr. Yang finish a dish, you can get ten taels of silver for cooking a dish. She became interested and wanted to try it.

Ten taels of silver is too tempting!
Han Chulan stuffed the basket she was holding into Li Shi's hand. Before Li Shi could react, her small body had already slipped through the crowd and walked into the Jinyutang Restaurant.

"Lan'er." Seeing this, Mrs. Li quickly pushed through the crowd, chased after her, and whispered: "Lan'er, let's take a look, don't join in the fun." Her daughter-in-law is a bit capable, cooking The soup is delicious, but they own a restaurant, so you can become a chef if you know a little bit of cooking skills, let alone the young master of the Yang family with a tricky mouth, so many people who tried it all failed, her son Can my daughter-in-law do it?

Han Chulan pursed her lips and walked in quickly, ignoring Li Shi's dissuasion, she wanted to earn the ten taels of silver, the Ye family needed money too much.

Ten taels of silver, in this era, one tael of silver is equivalent to RMB 3000, and ten taels of silver is RMB [-]. You only need to cook a dish and let the young man eat it to get the money. Such a good money Well, if she doesn't try, she won't be able to sleep well for a month.

The restaurant is very quiet, there are no customers inside, only a young man about 21 or [-] years old is sitting at a table in the middle. Also a handsome man.There was a dignified and lazy aura exuding from his whole body. With this aura, Han Chulan dared to conclude that he was a cynical person.Because he was sitting, Han Chulan couldn't measure his height visually, and he was still holding a fan inlaid with gold in his right hand, and he was shaking the fan lightly at the moment.Behind him stood two servants who looked like servants, and beside him stood the shopkeeper and several shop assistants.

Seeing Han Chulan walk in, a waiter came up to welcome her, and politely explained to Han Chulan: "Sister-in-law, the store is closed today."

Mr. Yang was still shaking his fan, and he didn't even glance at Han Chulan's entry.

Han Chulan glanced at the table where Mr. Yang was sitting. It was already filled with all kinds of delicious dishes. She was drooling when she saw it. It's very tricky.That's right, the owner of his own restaurant has a lot of money, and he eats delicacies from mountains and seas for snacks, what hasn't he eaten?The mouth is naturally raised.Looking back, Han Chulan asked with a faint smile, "Isn't your shop hiring a cook?"

"Sister-in-law want to try it?" The waiter asked in amazement. It has been a few days since their young boss said that they would change the cook. There are countless people who have come to take the test, all of them are men, and no woman has ever come to take the test. The little lady knew at a glance that she was from the countryside, and she was too young, how dare she come to take the test?I'm afraid that the Shaodong family doesn't even have the desire to try the dishes she cooks.
