delicious little cook

Chapter 417
Having eaten at a restaurant on the street, Bai Kou has a good understanding of Bai Rui's plight. She has worked as a washerwoman for the past few years, and the money she earns is enough to support her mother and daughter. The main reason for her debts is It is to see a doctor for a child.

Not long after the birth of the niece Honger, her father died of the epidemic, and then the mother and daughter were driven out of the house together. Bai Rui tried her best to take good care of her daughter, but in the end, she was powerless. After repaying the old debt and borrowing new debt, a sum of debt and interest rolled down, and now it has become a huge debt of more than 100 taels. Her monthly salary has long been unable to pay even the interest. No wonder those creditors said they would take their mother The girl was sold into a kiln to pay off the debt.

"Eldest Sister has made this trip to the government. Now your creditors all know that you are indeed my eldest sister. No matter how much you try to collect debts, you will not dare to use the idea of ​​turning good into cheap, otherwise I will make them look good."

"Yes, they dare not." Bai Rui thought of the trouble she had caused Bai Kou in the past, and lowered her head in shame, Hong'er ate happily, ignoring the conversation of the elders.

"Eldest Sister, as a laundry woman, how much does she earn every month? Do you have two credits?"

"Barely able to have, in addition to the laundry woman's wages, I can also do some needlework every month, which adds up to more than two pennies, but I can't save money, and I have to spend it on the children's medical expenses. "

"So, do you want to change errands?"

"It's good if you can change it, but it will only cause you trouble?!" Bai Rui opened her eyes wide excitedly, leaning forward with her hands on the edge of the table, looking forward to it.

"I don't know. I'm telling you about this now. I'm going to cut it first and play it later. There is a lack of a cook and a handyman in one place, but that's not the son's property. It's just that people in charge value me. They will listen to what I say. If you want to change, I will change it." Take you to meet people, I have the final say on whether they want you or not, if you don’t do well and make people dislike you, I will fire you, and I will not intercede for you, I will work with them, if you let It's embarrassing for both of us, so don't blame my sister for turning her face and denying others."

"I understand! I understand! Our old Bai's family used to be a hereditary imperial chef. I am ten years older than you. I have understood these human rules. Don't worry, I will do my best and never embarrass you!" Bai Rui Repeatedly guarantee.

"So, is my sister's cooking skills still there?"

Bai Rui looked at her swollen and deformed hands after working as a laundry woman for several years, with a wry smile on her lips.

"Culinary skills must be rusty, only home-cooked dishes are passable, and dishes that pay attention to knife skills must not be able to be cooked."

"When they drove you mother and daughter out of the house, they didn't give you any money?"

"No, the dowry was also swallowed by them, saying that I was a bastard who killed their son and was kicked out by them because I was penniless. Otherwise, if I had some cash in hand, I wouldn't be able to live by opening a food stall. It’s like this. Some places hire cooks, and when I go to see the workers, they don’t want to hire me when they see that I have such a small child, so I have to work as a washerwoman all the time, and my cooking skills are wasted day by day.”

"Where's the household registration? Have you moved? Are you still at their house?"

"No! Still at their house!" Bai Rui's eyes widened suddenly.

"Do you still want to go back to their house?"

"What do you do when you go back? It's better to move out and set up a female household alone."

"What about the dowry?"

"Can the dowry be returned?"

"Why should you just give them away for nothing to live a good life? It's good to get half of it back. You still have to raise a daughter. Besides, you had no family to return to. If they drove you out, it would be like killing them all. If you don't sue them for intentional murder." OK."

"Deliberate... murder? I'm afraid it's out of reach?"

"Sister, you are really a kind person."

"You have to forgive others and forgive others."

"That's fine, if you make buns yourself, don't blame the dog for following."

"I……"

"Are you full? Let's go when you're full. I'll take you to see the worker and see if he wants you."

Bai Kou waved for someone to pay the bill, and took her sister and niece to the back alley of Zhou's house.

When passing by Xianbugou, Yan Zheng happened to see him. A big customer bought twenty boxes of household soap and ten boxes of soaps of various colors. He agreed to pick up the goods and go to the pier tomorrow morning. Yan Zheng saw Bai Kou when he went out come over.

"Boss Bai, why are you free to come here today? Isn't there a banquet in the mansion? These two are...?"

"Yan Zheng, this is my elder sister Bai Rui, and this is my niece Hong'er, Rainbow of Rainbow."

"Sister?!" Yan Zheng was surprised.

"Well, elder sister, I will tell you what's going on next time. Now is not the time to talk about it."

Yan Zheng saw that Bai Rui was suffering and haggard, thinking of the past of the Bai family, and thinking of some gossip circulating in the mansion in recent days, saying that someone came to recognize relatives, he immediately kept his mouth shut. Ask more.

"Boss, where are you going?"

"Go to the car dealership. Didn't Old Gu say that they want someone who can cook and do odd jobs? It just so happens that my eldest sister is looking for a new job, so let Old Gu see her."

"Since she is your eldest sister, she must be very good at cooking. Gu Gu will definitely want it, so don't think about it."

"Thank you for your good words, please be busy, I will go there first."

Bai Kou led the people to the bottom of Zhou's back alley, entered the Ou family's big car dealership, introduced her sister to the manager Lao Gu, and told him about her situation in detail. , If you don't want to use it, you don't have to give her face.

Lao Gu then asked the waiter to take Bai Rui to the kitchen and asked her to cook a bowl of noodles for everyone.

Bai Rui agreed and led her daughter to the kitchen, while Bai Kou went to the glass workshop opposite to check the progress of the renovation, and talked to Liu Qiang and Liu Zhuang, the supervisor.

Lunch time has just passed, and the people in the car dealership are not hungry. Bai Rui only made a little scallion egg flower noodles, and the portion is very accurate. There are half a bowl for each person in the car dealership, and there is not even extra noodle soup. You can have a good taste without filling your stomach.

Just such a simple bowl of home-cooked noodles, the men in the car dealership applauded after eating it, Gu Gu wiped his mouth, complied with public opinion, kept the white pistil, and was paid twice a month, but because she is a widow, she can pay She eats three meals a day, but the idle house in the garage cannot accommodate her.

Bai Rui choked up and thanked everyone, but the coachmen who were residents of this workshop for generations also gave Bai Rui advice, telling her that a nearby house was also a widow, and there was a vacant house in the family, and the two widows happened to work together with.

The matter of renting a house is not urgent, Bai Kou asked Lao Gu to send a car to send her sister and niece back to Chunhe Fang, and she had to go back and negotiate with the creditors about repaying the debts. The profit is more than 100 taels of silver, so there really needs to be a convincing and detailed plan.
