Full of food and color

Chapter 91
The third aunt of Baozhu is usually busy greeting guests, serving tea and serving dishes, collecting money into the account when the guests leave, and going to the kitchen to help Baozhu clean the dishes when she is free, and sometimes rushing to the market when a dish is used up. After purchasing once, I hardly touch the ground with my busy feet.

Naturally, Baozhu's side was not much better. The guests came one after another, and there was basically no rest time. In addition to the sweltering heat in summer and the airtight kitchen, the body was seriously overloaded.It's okay for her to be a little doll, she can soak her feet at night and have a good sleep, and the next day she will look good again, but her aunt is old, and she hasn't planted land for many years, and she follows her to do this and that every day, Baozhu Seeing it was a bit unpleasant, so she thought about asking another guy to help her aunt share some of the burden.In addition, when there are more customers, the manpower will be insufficient, and it is imminent to find a buddy.

This day, taking advantage of the leisure time in the morning, Baozhu discussed this matter with Chen Cuixi. Chen Cuixi originally thought that such a small shop could be handled by both her aunt and nephew, but she has been too busy for the past few days. , If it is said, just hire a handyman, it is best to be able to do arithmetic, so that both parties can take care of them when they are busy.

Baozhu thought for a while, and asked Chen Cuixi if she had any reliable candidates she knew well in the county all these years.If you want to find someone, you still have to find someone who knows the basics. When you meet a lot of people, it is also reassuring to help you settle accounts and collect money.

Chen Cuixi thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a choice in her mind. When she was selling vegetables in the vegetable market, she had a sister-in-law Yang whom she knew well. She lost her husband a few years ago and has a son under her knees. Chen Cuixi saw that the mother and son were honest, and they often set up a stall together on weekdays, chatting, and they became acquainted after a long time.

Early the next morning, I went to the vegetable market and asked her if she would like to let Tang Bao work as a waiter in the shop in Liushu Alley. The salary Bao Zhu paid was [-] Wen per month. The restaurant in the restaurant is the highest in the snack street, much better than helping his mother buy vegetables.

Mrs. Yang asked about the shop, and learned that it was opened by Chen Cuixi's niece. Mrs. Yang agreed without thinking about it, saying that when the child's father was alive, he had studied for a few days and knew a few words. Son, that is, younger, but Tang Bao has plenty of strength, and he will definitely be able to handle any errands.

Chen Cuixi felt more at ease now, and smiled to make her feel at ease. Tang Bao went to take care of food and drink, and she took care of her on weekdays.

When they were talking, Tang Bao sat on the ground and listened. His father fell ill the year before last. After finishing the funeral, the life in the house suddenly became tense, and several uncles came to visit Once back to his mother, since then, there has been no contact.What the book says about sweeping the snow before oneself is probably the case.

His mother would come out to sell vegetables before dawn every day, and at night she would sew and do some work to sell for money. He also wanted to share it for his mother. Once he passed by Koufulou and saw the sign posted at the door The recruitment notice, although it is just a handyman, has two hundred cash a month, which is enough to ease the family's situation, at least his mother no longer has to stay up late every day to do work.Unexpectedly, just because he was under sixteen and thinner, those people were unwilling to hire him.

Later, he kept an eye on the job recruitment notices in the county town. He had plenty of strength, was able to work hard, and could read a few words, but year after year, his disappointment was greater than his hope.Gradually, he gave up and decided to sell vegetables with his mother first, and when he turned sixteen, he could find a job to support his mother.

Someone patted him on the shoulder, Tang Bao quickly came back to his senses, Chen Cuixi called him with a smile: "Go to work early tomorrow morning!"

Tang Bao was stunned for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty: "Auntie, I, I am only twelve this year, is the boss really willing?"

Chen Cuixi covered her mouth and giggled, "I'm afraid you won't believe me when I say it, my niece is only eight years old this year, and she still runs a shop, Tang Bao can just rest assured and work hard. "

Tang Bao's expression was a little astonished, he opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't say a word, after a long while, he stood up numbly, "Mother, I'm going to work with my aunt today!" , Maybe he won't think he is small.

In the morning when the business was quieter, Baozhu took the time to sweep the floor and calculated yesterday's accounts. After a week, she actually made [-] Wen. After deducting the capital, she made a net profit of [-] Wen. In joy, Leng might as well hear the voice of Sangu talking and laughing.

Baozhu smiled, and as soon as the account book was closed, Chen Cuixi brought Tang Bao into the house. "Baozhu, my aunt hired a young man named Tang Bao, take a look, are you satisfied?"

Then Baozhu went to look at Tang Bao. He was not tall, and his body seemed not very strong. His facial features were very ordinary, except for his two eyes which were extremely radiant.The two of them carried two large baskets of vegetables and didn't bother to put the baskets down. They were looking at her cautiously at the moment, and Baozhu walked out from the counter with a smile on her face. From now on, we will be our own people, with a monthly payment of one hundred wen, and two meals a day."

Tang Bao nodded, "Auntie just told me." Then he looked up and down the shop.

Chen Cuixi smiled and took the basket in his hand and walked to the back kitchen, "The guests will come one after another in a while, so I'm busy during the day!"

Tang Bao let out a hey, and followed Chen Cuixi into the back kitchen, where Baozhu heard him ask, "Auntie, what am I going to do today?"

"It's not sure. It's not difficult to greet guests, serve tea, serve food, and collect money. Sometimes you have to go out to buy food, and you can just greet wherever you are busy."

Tang Bao is a stuffy person who doesn't talk much.After entering the door, she didn't speak three words to her boss, but Baozhu admired this kind of people very much. When he was free in the morning, he would pick vegetables and peel green onions in the stove. When the guests came one after another, he would be busy serving tea and dishes. He didn't have time to rest, but took the initiative to count the accounts on the counter. .With Tang Bao as a buddy, not only Baozhu's third aunt had time to rest, but Baozhu also had a lot of peace of mind.

Baozhu couldn't help pouting and whispering to her aunt: "This fellow is well worth it!"

Chen Cuixi was also happy from the bottom of her heart, "Auntie, can you be fooled? Don't look at that child who is young and ambitious!"

The business was slowly getting on the right track, and Baozhu was thinking about the deposit owed to He Lan's family, and she had something on her mind early on, so she informed Chen Cuixi as soon as the sun set, and closed the door early.

Chen Cuixi heartily said that Baozhu baby was nestled in the kitchen all day long, her body smelled of oily smoke, and the clothes she brought were either too small or patched, and she didn't even have a proper change of clothes.Baozhu lives in her room, so she can't wrong her baby, and she doesn't have time to prepare. It just happened to close early this morning, and she was thinking of going to a tailor shop to buy two suits for Baozhu.

Baozhu took care of it casually, filled it with money and hurried to Ruyizhai.

Sweating profusely as she entered the door, Shopkeeper Chen recognized her and asked with a smile, "Little girl, how is the shop doing?"

Baozhu said with a smile: "This one is here to make up the bet money. Is your boss here?"

A person from the inner room came out, "Are you the doll who came to rent the shop a few days ago?"

Baozhu heard the words and went to see her, the woman was slightly fat, about forty years old, wearing a light green double-breasted satin skirt, very well-dressed, in his memory, it seemed that he had seen her last time in the temple.

Oh, that must be He Lanjin's mother. Seeing her kind face, Baozhu smiled and answered her: "I am. Last time I accepted the kindness of my little boss, and let me wait a few days to deposit money. This one is here to make up the deposit!"

The woman sat down on the carved chair unhurriedly, and the maid beside her quickly served a cup of tea.She took a sip, then said "hmm", and looked up at Baozhu, "I heard that you have an older brother studying in the county school?"

Baozhu knew that it must be He Lanjin who told her, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Yes, my brother is in the county school, so he and Xiaodong are also classmates."

Before she finished speaking, the woman interrupted her, "Where does your house live, and what do your parents do for a living?"

Baozhu felt a little bit of displeasure in her heart, feeling that Helan's mother was really strange, she didn't mention anything about the deposit, but she was interested in interrogating her specifically, so her tone was not as cheerful as before, and she said sternly: " The house is from Yantou Village, and my parents are farming in the house."

The woman said "oh", stood up abruptly, and said to shopkeeper Chen with a straight face: "Jin'er is just young and ignorant, why don't you servants know how to dissuade them, but follow the nonsense instead! If every room If the shop treats people like this, our Helan family will become great benevolent people!"

Shopkeeper Chen bowed tremblingly, "Madam's lesson is that there will be..."

"Hmph!" The woman walked in front of him and looked at him coldly, "Any more? I don't think you need to do the shopkeeper's job anymore!"

Shopkeeper Chen, despite being terribly wronged in his heart, had no choice but to keep nodding his head in agreement. After she had left, he slammed his lips and sighed: "You little girl! Alas, did you see that Madam lost her temper just now!"

Baozhu's face was also a bit ugly, what Helan's mother said just now was to scold shopkeeper Chen on the surface, but what was said was not to scold herself and embarrass her.She never expected that the amiable Helan's mother would have such an attitude, and she understood in her heart that she just looked down on her parents who were farmers and looked down on her in her heart.

At this moment, I was not in the mood to talk to Shopkeeper Chen, so I took out the money from my pocket, "Treasurer, count the number, if there is no other problem, just leave me a receipt."

Shopkeeper Chen looked at her for a while, sighed, then took the money, counted the amount, and gave her the receipt. Seeing her walking away, he sighed and said, "I still want to do a few more things." In the past year, Madam has always hated anyone who broke the rules, but this time, alas, the young master has made me miserable!"
