Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 425

Mrs. Yang came back from Guangji Road after finishing the morning market. As usual, she bought a few vegetables at Caishikou and went home. When she walked to the door, she heard the sound of ding-ding-dong-dong knocking in the yard.Mrs. Yang didn't know that Carpenter Qian came back, so she thought it was Zhao Caifeng who invited the carpenter from the city, and said with a smile as she pushed the door: "You girl, you didn't tell me when you invited the carpenter, and I'll buy a few more. Dishes, let Master eat better!"

When Mrs. Yang came in, she raised her head and saw Carpenter Qian sawing a piece of wood with a saw. Carpenter Qian also raised his head when he heard the sound, and the two of them met eyes like this.Yang suddenly felt her heart tighten, and the vegetable basket in her hand fell to the ground with a sound, and several Chinese cabbage stalks rolled out of the vegetable basket, and rolled to Carpenter Qian's feet.

Yang was only stunned for a moment, and said, "Uncle, why are you here?"

Carpenter Qian bent down and picked up the Chinese cabbage at his feet.Mrs. Yang bent down in embarrassment to pick up the vegetables in the basket, and when she walked up to Carpenter Qian, she took the cabbage handed to her with a numb face.

"Caifeng asked Li Quan to bring me a letter, saying that there is work here, and I was idle in Zhaojia Village, so I came here."

Mrs. Yang only glanced at the vegetables in the basket, and said with a smile, "Wait, I'll go out and buy some meat."

Seeing that Mrs. Yang turned to leave, Carpenter Qian only said, "Sister-in-law, don't be busy."

Yang was stunned for a moment, stopped, and turned to look at Carpenter Qian with a rare shyness.

"Sister-in-law, I brought roe deer legs, and some marinated pheasants and wild rabbits. They are all hanging in the backyard. My sister-in-law doesn't have to go out to buy meat."

Originally, Yang thought that Carpenter Qian had something to say to her, but when she heard him say only a few words, she immediately blushed with embarrassment, and said with a basket on her shoulders, "Then...then I'll go to the backyard to cook."

Carpenter Qian looked at Mrs. Yang walking towards the backyard, her figure had the charm of a young lady, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little warmer in her heart, probably because the winter in the capital is really too cold some.

Yang made a few dishes and invited everyone to eat together.Seeing that Mrs. Yang was at home, Zhao Caifeng said that she was going to visit the Babao Tower, but in fact she wanted to leave some space for Mrs. Yang and Carpenter Qian.Knowing what Zhao Caifeng was thinking, Mrs. Yang let her go out despite being a little shy in her heart, and only told her to come back earlier.

After Zhao Caifeng left, Mrs. Yang only took two cotton-padded jackets from the house.Yang's needlework is fast and good. These two padded jackets were made early in the morning. They originally wanted to wait until the end of the year and asked Zhao Wen to bring them to Carpenter Qian. Now that the two have come, it is natural to give them to them earlier good.

"Uncle, I usually make this padded jacket when I have spare time. It's not only stuffed with cotton, but also some silk. It's light and warm. You and the second child each have one."

Now the weather is getting older and colder, Zhao Caifeng has already put on a new padded jacket, but because Yang has been chasing padded jackets for others, so far she is still wearing old clothes.The cotton cloth was washed too much, and it became hard and old. Yang Shi always felt a bit bulky when she wore it, and her hands became even more skinny.

When Carpenter Qian saw this, he couldn't bear it after all, so he just said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so troublesome, I'm wearing animal skin, so I'm not cold."

Mrs. Yang didn't listen to him continue, she just put down the padded jacket and called Zhao Wen to come and try on clothes.As soon as Zhao Wen saw new clothes to wear, he ran over happily and compared them with the new clothes, not to mention how happy he was.

When Zhao Caifeng went to Babaolou, it was just after noon. In the past, at this time, there were always a few tables of guests in Babaolou, but today there was no one.When Zhao Caifeng entered the door, she happened to see the shopkeeper Xie standing at the counter to settle the accounts, frowning and shaking her head while doing the calculations.

Zhao Caifeng just greeted her and asked, "Shopkeeper, is the business in the building not good recently?" Although this question was quite redundant, Zhao Caifeng really couldn't think of other opening remarks for a while.

Shopkeeper Xie raised his head and saw that it was Zhao Caifeng who had come, so he frowned and said, "So it's Xiao Zhao! Is the business going well? Didn't you see it?"

Zhao Caifeng only asked suspiciously: "Shopkeeper, even if Chef Xu leaves, the business in this building will not plummet? Could it be that other chefs can't be invited?"

When Shopkeeper Xie saw Zhao Caifeng's question, he just sighed and said: "The owner is hiring a chef, but now it's the end of the year, and every restaurant is recruiting people, and it's true that we can't find a suitable chef for a while." Shopkeeper Xie said Then, she only beckoned Zhao Caifeng to come closer, leaned close to her ear, pointed to somewhere outside the door and said: "Did you see it? There is a Jiuxiang Building diagonally opposite, and their business has been snatched away."

"They also make eight-treasure duck?" Zhao Caifeng couldn't help asking.

"Their family does not cook eight-treasure ducks, but I heard people say that the reason why Chef Xu left this time is because their boss did it behind the scenes. He doesn’t change his employer, and the owner also pays him dividends every year, but who knows, just before the opening of Jiuxianglou, Chef Xu suddenly said that he would go back to his hometown.”

When Zhao Caifeng heard this, she probably understood a little bit. Chef Xu probably took money from the boss of Jiuxianglou, so he went back to his hometown. This did not violate the original contract with Boss Huang, and he could get more money. A batch of money for the elderly is indeed killing two birds with one stone.
