First Empress Merchant

Chapter 85 The New Deputy Steward (2)
Boss Cheng spread his hands and said: "That's right, Shi Liang and that woman seem to listen to her very much, and Master Liu still treats her with courtesy, could it be someone from Master Lu?"

Boss Li thought for a while and said, "Oh yes, I remembered, I heard that Mr. Lu has a handsome daughter, could it be her?"

Hearing this, Boss Cheng was slightly startled, "Impossible? Didn't I say, there is a young lady in your family, and you also run a restaurant. Will you let your daughter come out to help you recruit?"

Boss Li was not annoyed either, and shook his head with a faint smile, "Of course not, but you have to think this way, I heard that Mr. Lu's family came from Beijing, and he doesn't have any relatives or friends in our area. At that time, that little lady dealt with things in an orderly and relaxed manner, and Mr. Liu's attitude towards her, could they be irrelevant?"

Boss Cheng nodded when he heard the words, "That's why I feel very puzzled. If it's really the Miss Lu family, how do you think Master Lu let her be a woman in public?"

When Boss Li heard this, he smiled mysteriously, looked around, and said in a low voice when he saw that there was no one there: "Actually, I came here not only to see Mr. Lu's true face, but also to visit Miss Lu's family. After inquiring about a secret, seeing that you are an old friend, I might tell you quietly, but you can't tell it to the outside world, thinking about the backing of the Lu family, we can't afford to offend it."

Boss Cheng nodded immediately, "Oh? What's the secret, tell me quickly! Look at you, am I still the one who can't keep his mouth shut?"

Boss Li smiled and said in a low voice: "You also know that my cousin is Mrs. Liu's concubine. One time, I heard from her that although Li Yuanshan belonged to Master Lu, that Master Lu had already There have been accidents in the past few years, and my mind is not very bright, so it is the Miss Lu family who is really in charge."

"It turns out that's the case, so it makes sense! But you are so powerful, you can find out everything!" After hearing this, Boss Cheng suddenly realized, and at the same time secretly scolded this old bastard in his heart for knowing everything. Pretend to come to ask him about it, it's really disgusting!

Boss Li smiled proudly and modestly, "So what if you know, it's a pity that my son is still young, and your son is just the right age, so you have to seize the opportunity. You must know that Miss Lu is not married. Once married, there will be a whole mountain as a dowry!"

Boss Cheng twitched the corners of his mouth dryly when he heard the words, "Are you kidding me? Although the dowry is large, it is not something ordinary people can afford."

But having said that, I really have some thoughts in my heart. Of course, I don’t want to marry someone as a daughter-in-law, but after all, it’s just a daughter’s family. If the girl goes to establish a good relationship with her, it will be of great benefit to their family, right?Besides, they can't guess what this woman is thinking. What if she really fell in love with his son?
With this thought in mind, Boss Cheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then said: "Well, what, it's getting late, I suddenly remembered that there is still something to do in my shop, please sit down for a while, I will take my leave first, next time I will call back You go and have a good meal."

Boss Li saw his careful thinking, so he didn't point it out, just smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Then you go and do your work first, I will wait for your meal with an empty stomach!"

"It's easy to say!" Boss Cheng also smiled and cupped his hands, and then left without stopping.

It's just that Boss Cheng just left, and Boss Li also left, because he also had the same plan in his heart, and he still has another shocking secret that he hasn't revealed, but this secret is related to the future glory and wealth of his daughter. He naturally has to make good use of it, doesn't he?

However, what these two people didn't know was that there was actually a pair of ears listening to their conversation silently in a certain corner of the teahouse. After the two people left, the eavesdropper dropped two copper coins and carried With my own burden, I walked out of the teahouse and went straight to the labor market.

There are really too many people who come to apply for the job. Regardless of what they saw when they first came, it is almost noon when they are recruited. Lu Lishi was almost overwhelmed by the outsiders, and there was nothing she could do, so she told everyone to eat first, take a rest, and continue after noon, but the three of them and the yamen servants all started to clean up, those who came to work None of the people were willing to move, and they lined up so obediently.

Lu Lishi was very emotional looking at it, looked up at the vicious sun, and then at the workers whose faces were flushed by the sun, sighed silently, and then asked Shi Liang to say a few words, Shi Liang heard Yan nodded, and then went to the yamen servants to tell the story. After hearing this, the yamen servants all cast strange glances at Lu Lishi. Lu Lishi didn't explain anything, but just bowed to them and said please. Without delay, he walked out of the labor market quickly, and after a stick of incense, he saw the yamen servants leading the vendors near the labor market back, dragging their respective livelihood outfits.

That's right, Lu Lishi asked the yamen servants to help recruit those vendors who sell noodles, steamed buns and other small businesses. They were hungry, so they would ask the vendors one by one after they came over. If they wanted steamed buns, they would give cash to buy steamed buns, and if they wanted noodles, they would pay cash. bowl.

Of course, she also asked the yamen servants to negotiate a good price with them in advance. If you want to start the price on the spot, don’t come, and those who do small businesses usually have limited income, so they will be very happy to see so many people buying it. Prices have also been reduced accordingly.

Although Lu Lishi initially wanted the people who came to apply for work not to be hungry, and at the same time, the small vendors didn't need to worry about being sold out, which was enough, but in fact she also won a good reputation from everyone, which is true. It was an unexpected gain.

Seeing that everyone started to eat, Lu Lishi took Shi Liang, Aunt Ye and the yamen servants to the restaurant for dinner, and naturally asked a yamen servant to invite Master Liu.

It was just that when she just lifted her foot and was about to leave, she felt a line of sight focused on her, and subconsciously turned her head to look, her eyes met, slightly startled, and after a short thought, she whispered to Shi Liang After saying a few words, Shi Liang also looked in that direction when he heard the words, but didn't say anything. He led Aunt Ye and the yamen servants and went first. Man with puzzled face.

After getting close to him, Lu Lishi whispered to him: "Come with me."

The man frowned even more after hearing this, and followed after hesitating for a moment, but he and Lu Lishi always kept a certain distance.

After reaching a sparsely populated field, Lu Lishi stopped, and turned around to look at the man carefully, and the man was also looking at her, but the more he looked at her, the more confused he became, so he didn't know how to speak for a long time.
