MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 60

At this moment, someone outside suddenly asked, "Miss Jiang, are you there?" It was Xie Chen's voice.

Why is he here at this time, "Here!" Jiang Yunzhu put down the cake and went to the front.

Xie Chen is still in the old green robe, but behind him, there is a petite girl who is carefully looking around with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Jiang Yunzhu had a guess in her mind, she inquired about Baofulou, and by the way also inquired about Xie Chen.

The three-year-old mother gave birth to a younger sister and ran away with others. The father beat and scolded the brothers and sisters. The neighbors couldn't stand it anymore, and often secretly fed them, so that they grew up slowly.

No wonder Xie Chen has such a flamboyant appearance, but he frowns every day, full of preoccupations.

She also understood why Xie Chen wanted his sister to work in the store, but was hesitant again. He wanted her sister to leave that house, but he was afraid that she would have to work hard! After all, according to him, in April, he will bring his sister to Beijing.

"Yunxue, go and get a plate of cakes from behind." Jiang Yunzhu said to Jiang Yunxue.

Jiang Yunxue agreed, and brought a plate of milk red bean cake from behind.

Jiang Yunzhu asked Xie Chen to sit with the girl behind him, and then put the plate of cakes in front of them, "It's a coincidence that you guys came here, I just made a cake, try it."

Xie Chen's eyes fell on the plate of cake, which was crystal clear and milky white, exuding bursts of sweet fragrance.

He hadn't eaten in the morning, smelling the smell of this cake, he felt even more hungry, but he still looked away and said, "Thank you, Miss Jiang." But he didn't intend to eat that cake.

Jiang Yunzhu picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Xie Lian, "Eat it, your brother has helped me a lot!" She said that Xie Chen helped her with the accounting.

Xie Lian pursed her lips and looked at Xie Chen.

Xie Chen felt sour in his heart, he didn't need to eat it, but his sister... "Miss Jiang gave it to you, you can eat it." He said softly.

Xie Lian's eyes lit up immediately, she took the cake, wanted to eat it, but suddenly remembered something, and handed it to Xie Chen.

"You can eat." Xie Chen said.

Xie Lian shook her head.

Thank you very much.

"It's just a plate of cake." Jiang Yunzhu pushed the plate of cake towards Xie Chen again.

Xie Chen blushed slightly, "Thank you Miss Jiang." He said.

"Not so polite."

Xie Chen then took a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. It was soft and sweet, with a milky aroma.

He just felt that he had never eaten such a delicious cake.

Seeing him eating, Xie Lian also put the cake into her mouth. Immediately, she rolled her eyes, this cake is really sweet, it seems sweet to people's heart.

Jiang Yunzhu was not in a hurry, and poured them two cups of hot water and asked them to eat cakes.

Xie Chen ate another two pieces, even the tips of his ears turned red, so he stopped eating.

Xie Lian couldn't help but ate several yuan, and then stopped after taking a sip of water.

Jiang Yunzhu looked at Xie Chen.

"Miss Jiang, can I have a chat with you alone." Xie Chen said.

"Okay." Jiang Yunzhu stood up.

The two went outside.

Xie Chen looked at Xie Lian in the room and said, "Miss Jiang, are you hiring a handyman? That's my sister. I want her to work in your shop, not for money.

Her wages can be paid out of the money I accounted for. Or, if she doesn't do well, you can tell me, and I will help him. She can't speak... Don't worry, she is very sensible. "

Xie Chen spoke urgently and quickly. He didn't want Xie Lian to come to Jiang Yunzhu to make money, just like Jiang Yunzhu guessed, he wanted Xie Lian to leave that house.

Yesterday when he came home, he found that Xie Yong was scolding Xie Lian again. She was standing there tremblingly, and he was very worried that she couldn't last long enough for him to take her away.

Xie Chen's words are very sincere. Hiring Xie Lian to work without paying wages, or does he help Xie Lian? If it were a black-hearted boss, he would probably be insane.

Of course, if it was a boss with bad moral character, Xie Chen would not bring Xie Lian here either. He just thought that Jiang Yunzhu was a nice person and a girl, so he wanted to put Xie Lian in the store.

Jiang Yunzhu smiled, but she didn't agree or refuse, "Well, let her try with us for three days, and then we can talk."

"Thank you, Miss Jiang." Xie Chen said gratefully.

The two returned to the store, Xie Chen whispered to Xie Lian for a while, Xie Lian nodded, then bent down to salute Jiang Yunzhu. She will definitely work hard so that her brother can study with peace of mind.

Xie Chen also saluted Jiang Yunzhu.

Jiang Yunzhu smiled.

"I'll pick you up tonight." Xie Chen said to Xie Lian.

Xie Lian nodded, Xie Chen was reluctant to leave.

Only Xie Lian was left, and Jiang Yunzhu pushed the half plate of milk red bean cake to her, "Eat it, you will have the strength to do things when you are full."

Xie Lian stopped eating and looked around, looking for work.

"Don't worry, I haven't started working yet." Jiang Yunzhu said.

Xie Lian looked into the kitchen, where the pot seemed to have not been cleaned yet. She looked at Jiang Yunzhu inquiringly.

Well, Jiang Yunzhu hasn't had time to brush yet.

Xie Lian went to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes. Although she is petite, she has been doing these things since she was a child, and she does them very well.

Well, Jiang Yunzhu felt that he had really hired a good employee.

She went back to the kitchen, took the milk red bean cake and continued to eat.

After eating, she was about to go back to the house to rest for a while, when Mrs. Chen came, followed by a man. The man looked about in his twenties, and he looked fairly straight, but his eyes were a little wandering.

Chen's eye circles were a little red, as if she had just cried.

She came in and saw Jiang Yunzhu, pulled her aside, and said to her, "Yunzhu, we don't want to hire a waiter in our store, what do you think of this guy?"

"Mother, where did you meet him?" Jiang Yunzhu asked.

"Wang Tian's mother went to the gate of the county seat. He had no money to bury him, so he sold himself to bury his mother there. I heard from him that he had worked as a waiter before, so I brought him back to try it out." Chen said, she stayed at the house last night. In the village, I came to the county seat this morning and happened to pass by the city gate and saw it.

It turned out that this young man was called Wang Tian, ​​and he sold his body to bury his mother. This era is very particular about funeral affairs. When a loved one passes away, not to mention a grand burial, he also needs to get a coffin and find a piece of land for a good burial.

Of the two, the former requires money, and the latter is easy to handle if the family has land, otherwise it also requires a lot of money.

So there really is such a thing as selling one's body to bury one's mother.

But in Wuling County, it seemed a little strange again. Jiang Yunzhu remembered that when Jiang Cheng went to the mine, he could advance one month's wages in advance. And looking at Wang Tian's delicate skin and tender flesh, he doesn't look like he was used to doing jobs since he was a child.

"I'll go talk to him." Jiang Yunzhu said.

"Yes." Chen agreed. Everything in the store is in the hands of Jiang Yunzhu, even if she pities Wang Tian, ​​she can't help it. She went to the back kitchen.

When Jiang Yunzhu came to the store, Wang Tian was standing there quietly looking at the storefront.

"Sit." Jiang Yunzhu said.

"Thank you." Wang Tian waited for Jiang Yunzhu to sit down before sitting down.

"I don't know what my mother told you, but our store is looking for a waiter. I heard you did it before?"

"I've done it before." Wang Tian said, "I'm used to it."

"Which company did you do it?"

"Yueda Restaurant."

Oh, the restaurant that had rat heads in that dish and then closed down.

"Did you put the mouse head in that dish?" Jiang Yunzhu asked casually.

Wang Tian's expression was extremely exciting, but he quickly realized, stood up and said angrily, "How could you wrong me so much, I was sick a few days ago, and I was not in the store at all, if you don't believe me, go ask those guys."

Jiang Yunzhu smiled. Generally, when the guy in the shop was asked this question, if he didn't do it, how would he react?

He definitely didn't defend himself immediately, but felt that there was something wrong with her head, so she suddenly asked him such a question.

Jiang Yunzhu looked at the way he was hopping, and said calmly, "Man is doing it, and the sky is watching. I don't know if your mother has really gone. If not, when I hear that you are going to sell yourself to bury her, I don't know whether to praise you for your filial piety or not." ..."

Wang Tian's real name is Song Lin, and he is the eldest son of Song's second son. Four years ago, he was indeed the one who put the mouse heads in the food of Yueda Restaurant. Repeat.

Who would have thought...Song Lin's mother is of course alive and well, thinking that if his mother heard about this...

Song Lin's face turned pale, embarrassment and embarrassment, he didn't expect Jiang Yunzhu to see him right away.

Two streets away, Shopkeeper Song and Song Lao Er were waiting there.

At this moment, Song Lin came over, and the two immediately gathered around and asked, "How is it? Is it done?"

"What a fart!" Song Lin poured out his anger on the two of them, "Are you two my uncle and my father? Curse my mother to death and make me do such immoral things. It's all right now People see through!

The two of you hid behind, pretended to be good, and let me embarrass me. I don't think you have any good intentions.

Uncle, do you just hope that I will be put in prison, otherwise why don't you let your son go? Your son is not too young, and he eats idle meals at home all day long.

Dad, why did you believe him? Let us do bad things every time, he picks up ready-made, I don't think he is a good guy.

One day, by the way, we are also sent to prison, and he will monopolize the restaurant, so he will be happy! "

Song Linkou didn't hesitate to say anything, and even expressed the expectations of Shopkeeper Song.

Song Laoer's face changed color, looked at shopkeeper Song, and felt that Song Lin's words made sense.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be so vicious." Second Song said angrily to Shopkeeper Song.

"I didn't mean that." Shopkeeper Song said quickly.

"Then give me half of the restaurant." Song Laoer said.

"There is only one restaurant, how do we divide it?" Shopkeeper Song asked angrily.

"Just sell it for a penny," Song Laoer said.

Shopkeeper Song was really mad at him. A hen that can lay golden eggs, he actually wanted to sell the hen for money? The point is, Song Lin was still helping, thinking it was a good idea.

The three of them got into a mess, and in the end Shopkeeper Song gave them money, and they left.

Shopkeeper Song stood there with his temples throbbing. That's why he said that stealing chickens won't make money.

Jiang Yunzhu naturally didn't know what was going on with them, she only knew that Baofulou had really attacked Qishanju, it seemed that she had to be more cautious in the future.

Just as she was thinking, another person came outside.

"Excuse me, are you recruiting here?" It was a young man with an old woman on his back, followed by a woman.

The three of them looked extremely embarrassed, their clothes were in tatters, and their faces were all disheveled.

But the man's eyes are very bright, with a sense of tenacity.

"Who are you?" Jiang Yunzhu asked.

"Changfeng mansion escaped. Since last year, there has only been a light snowfall in Changfeng mansion, which didn't even cover the land. Seeing that spring is about to begin, there is no sign of rain at all. We can't hold on, so we run away Come out." The man explained.

Then he said, "Girl, we don't need much wages, as long as we have a stutter and a place to live."

Jiang Yunzhu saw his hands, which were definitely hands that had worked for a long time.

"I want to recruit the waiter and the handyman." Jiang Yunzhu said.

"I haven't run out of class, but I can learn. I beg the girl to give me a chance. I can still read some words." The man said with burning eyes.

This guy in the waiter really doesn't have much technical content.

Jiang Yunzhu had a good impression of him, "Come in first." Then she said to Chen Shi, "Mother, is there anything else to eat in the kitchen, bring them some."

Mrs. Chen also heard the man say that they escaped from the disaster in Changfeng Mansion, and thought of many things at once. Hearing what Jiang Yunzhu said, he immediately said, "Let me cook some noodles for them!"

"No, no." The man hurriedly said, and then stood at the door, looking very cautious.

He saw that the store was spotless, and the three of them, like beggars, dared to enter the store.

"Come in, it's okay." Jiang Yunzhu said.

Then the man entered the store carefully, put the old woman on the seat beside him, and refused to sit down even if he said nothing.

Jiang Yunzhu asked about the three of them.

The man's name is Li He, the old woman next to him is his mother, and the woman behind him is his daughter-in-law Huang. They were originally from Lincang County, Changfeng Prefecture. Their family had a few acres of Susukida, and they made a living by farming. They were not rich, but they could eat enough.

However, in the past two years, Changfeng Mansion has suffered severe drought, and the land has been desolate for thousands of miles. They sold everything, and it is still difficult to make ends meet.

No way, they can only come out to escape famine.

The reason why Li He could read was because he learned it from the fortune teller in the village when he was free. He learned two words a day, and he gradually learned a lot of characters.

"Is there really going to be another drought in Changfeng Mansion this year?" Mrs. Chen came out with three bowls of noodles, just in time to hear Li He's words, and asked in surprise.

At the beginning they were afraid of such a situation, so they escaped from Changfeng Mansion ahead of time. Now that they heard the news, Mrs. Chen was very lucky, but also had an indescribable feeling.

Li He nodded, "It should be."

Chen was stunned.

Jiang Yunzhu pushed the three bowls of noodles in front of Li He and the others, "Eat it quickly!"

Li He and the others haven't eaten anything decent for two days, and now they can't help swallowing when they see the steaming hot noodles, but...

Jiang Yunzhu smiled, "Actually, our family also escaped from the Changfeng Mansion, which probably happened last year."

"Really?" Li He couldn't believe it.

Since he escaped from famine, life must be difficult, but Jiang Yunzhu actually opened such a good restaurant in the county, what?

"Really." Chen replied. I think when they came to Wuling County, they were not much better than Li He and the others.

Thanks to Jiang Yunzhu.

With this extra layer of relationship, Li He's family became less restrained, and began to gobble up the noodle bowl.

A large bowl of noodles was quickly finished, and the faces of the three of them were a little bloody.

"Girl, I can really learn. I can learn things quite quickly. Otherwise, you can let me try for a few days. If it doesn't work, you can drive me away." Li He kept this matter in mind, put down the bowl, sincerely He said to Jiang Yunzhu.

Jiang Yunzhu thinks he is really good, at least he is self-motivated. For example, he can read and write. Ordinary farmers are already very tired after finishing their work every day. Who would want to learn two words from a fortune teller.

And he not only learned, but also persisted.

"The running hall is indeed the best at reading and writing. Okay, you can stay and try for a few days. Okay, I'll keep you." Jiang Yunzhu said.

When Li He heard this, he almost wept with joy. They had no money on them now, and almost collapsed on the street from starvation immediately. Jiang Yunzhu hired him at this time, which was tantamount to giving him a way out.

"Thank you girl, thank you." Li He kept thanking.

At this time, his wife Huang suddenly pulled him.

Then Li He remembered, and said to Jiang Yunzhu, "Girl, you just said that you also recruit handymen here, are handymen limited to men and women?"

Generally, when recruiting people, they like to recruit men, so he asked this question.

Jiang Yunzhu already understood what he meant, "No limit."

"Then my wife..."

"You can try to work for three days, and after three days we can discuss whether to stay or not."

"Thank you, miss." "Thank you, miss." This time even Mrs. Li stood up, and the whole family thanked Jiang Yunzhu.

Jiang Yunzhu waved his hand. A waiter, a handyman, and Xie Lian were recruited at once, and they were almost recruited.

Jiang Yunzhu went outside and tore off the recruitment notice. She decided to do this first and not recruit anyone.

Li He's words gave her a sense of crisis. Changfeng Mansion will suffer a severe drought this year, and many refugees will flock to Luzhou. She should not expand blindly now. What's more, Baofulou doesn't know what will happen.

The three of Li He can eat in the store, but live in...

In fact, there is still a house in the backyard of the restaurant, but Jiang Yunzhu doesn't want them to live here. She changed her mind slightly and had an idea. She plans to rent another house in the county town, one is to store all kinds of things in the restaurant, such as hairtail fish and octopus, and two, so that Li He's family can live there first.

Third, and most importantly, she wanted to buy a batch of food for storage, so she didn't panic when she had food in hand.

Immediately doing what he said, Jiang Yunzhu went to the tooth shop immediately, and soon rented a yard only one street away from Qishanju.

The yard is not too big, but there is a big cellar. Jiang Yunzhu took a fancy to this and rented this house.

Ask Jiang Cheng to put all the remaining fish at home into the cellar, so that these fish can be stored for a little longer.

Then Jiang Yunzhu bought three clothes for the three of Li He. At least Li He and Huang's can't come to work in the store wearing the tattered clothes they are wearing, so let's use them as work clothes for the employees!

The three were grateful and said that they had met a good man.

Li He and Huang Shi cleaned up and put on new clothes. Maybe people depend on their clothes and horses, or maybe they are refreshed on happy occasions. The two immediately changed their appearance. Li He looked very energetic, and Huang Shi It also looks neat and clean.

The two immediately went to Qishanju to work, and secretly vowed that they would work hard to repay Jiang Yunzhu's kindness and find a good way out for themselves.

As for Jiang Yunzhu, she went to the rice and grain store, and went to three rice and grain stores in a row. She bought three batches of grain, shipped one batch to her home in Changshi Village, one batch was placed in the backyard of Qishanju, and the last batch was placed in the newly rented house. in the cellar.

She knows that all eggs cannot be put in one basket.

After finishing this matter, she felt a little relieved.

Back at Qishanju, seeing that it was lunch time, Jiang Yunzhu called everyone in the store together and introduced them to each other.

There are three more people in the restaurant, Xue Jing is very happy, this means that the restaurant will become bigger!

He feels that sooner or later, their Qishanju will surpass Baofulou and become the best restaurant in Wuling County.

No, why stick to Wuling County? He felt that with Jiang Yunzhu's craftsmanship, it would be no problem to go to Luzhou.

Go to Luzhou to open a big restaurant, so that he can follow him to Luzhou, when his master sees him, his jaw will probably drop in shock!

Xue Jing didn't know where he thought of, he just felt happy.

Li He and Huang's faces were also full of joy, the people in Qishanju are very kind, they are really lucky to stay here.

Xie Lian was a little nervous, she hung her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes with her hands, she was afraid that she would not do well, and Jiang Yunzhu would not want her anymore.

"Okay, there are guests here, everyone go to work!" Jiang Yunzhu said.

Everyone dispersed, Li He went to the front, Huang Shi and Xie Lian went to the kitchen, Xue Jing was cooking, everyone was very busy.

Jiang Yunzhu made her milk red bean cake. At the same time, she also made a snack, **** bump milk. In such cold weather, isn't it suitable to eat a bowl of this kind of thing to keep out the cold?

At this time, a girl entered the store. After entering the store, she looked around and sat at a window.

Jiang Yunzhu happened to come to the front to pick up something, saw her and smiled, isn't this Qin Yao.

It was indeed Qin Yao. She had actually wanted to come to Qishanju for a long time, but she still remembered the rejection by Jiang Yunzhu last time, so she resisted not coming.

After so many days, she felt that Jiang Yunzhu should have forgotten her, so she came in to have a look.

"Girl, what do you want to eat?" Li He asked with a smile, it's really not difficult to run the hall, at least he is doing decently now.

Qin Yao ordered two dishes at random, and suddenly saw a new dish of the day "milk red bean cake" on the wall. It sounded delicious, so she ordered one.

At this time, there were a few girls sitting at the table next to her, and they also ordered milk red bean cake.

When the cake was served, it was fragrant with milk, sweet but not greasy, and it was really delicious.

"This cake must have been made by the owner of the shop. 'Rub the hands together to find the jade, and fry it in green oil to make a deep yellow'. Only a person like the owner of the shop can make such a good cake. Like the ones on the street, they are all Vulgar things, things made naturally are also vulgar." A girl with an oval face praised.

"No, looking at this store, you know that we are here today. Sister Ye, thank you for bringing us to such a good place today." A girl with a round face said to a girl sitting in the middle.

The girl smiled, "We usually don't have a place to eat and play, but it's better now."

"Exactly." The girls smiled and nodded.

At this time, someone said, "That's all, this cake is just ordinary milk cake. I've eaten it many times in Luzhou." It was a girl in blue who spoke.

As soon as she said this, the girls stopped laughing, knowing that her family has relatives in Luzhou, so there is no need to talk about it every day, as if no one has ever been to Luzhou.

The girl in blue wanted to say something more, but suddenly, several girls looked towards the back door of the shop, and she also looked up.

When the man left, the girls got together again, "Who was that young master just now?" the round-faced girl asked with a reddish face.

The others also raised their ears. The young man just now was really too handsome, especially the special temperament on his body, which made people dare not look at him, and couldn't help but be moved.

The girl sitting in the middle smiled, "I don't know, I just heard that it's a young master from the capital who rented the store."

The girls had different thoughts, but what they saw was naturally Shen Fengming.
