He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

The diners are waiting for Lu Ji to open, and Lu Yan is thinking about recruiting people.

There are so many things she wants to make for breakfast. In addition to the lotus leaf pancakes that can be filled with everything, steamed buns, and tofu puffs that can be made in advance, she also wants to make fried dough sticks, wontons, bacon flatbreads, pancakes with fruit, and egg-filled pancakes. The wontons can be made in advance. OK, but it needs to be cooked fresh. Lu Sheng can help her cook wontons and serve tofu noodles these days, but Lu Sheng goes to school and can't always help in the store.

She wanted to hire a cook who could help her, and an accountant who would be responsible for the cashier.

Lu Yan told Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "The accountant is easy to talk to. If you want to help the kitchen, I don't recommend hiring someone. It's better to just buy it."

Lu Yan was stunned.

"You say now that you only help you cook wontons and stuffed tofu, but if you stay in the store for a long time, you will inevitably see your cooking skills. If it is a hired person, he will have the intention to leak your recipe. It's very troublesome." Lu Sheng analyzed: "If it is bought, it is considered a domestic slave. A domestic slave who betrays someone will bear a very serious penalty, and the risk is much smaller."

In the Dali Dynasty, it was a very serious matter for a slave to betray his master. If he was caught by his master, he would be beaten to death. I have to say that if you hold the deed of betrayal in your hand, many things will be much more convenient.

"Don't worry about the cashier. Just ask Mom to do the cashier when your parents come over. Mom can do the accounting." Lu Sheng added, "I can take charge of these two days. In addition, you can ask Huang Hui if she is willing." If she doesn’t want to, you can let her come.”

Lu Yan was stunned again. She really didn't expect this. Huang Hui had no problem doing this kind of thing. Huang Hui had read books and was the eldest daughter of a merchant family. Bookkeeping and cashiering were a piece of cake.

Just do it. Lu Yan and Lu Sheng immediately ran to their aunt's house and asked if they could borrow Huang Hui.

Huang Hui happened to be at home. When she heard that she could go out and experience things, she immediately agreed without even asking for wages: "Cousins ​​and sisters, don't worry, just leave the store's accounts to me before my aunt comes!"

The accounting matter has been solved, but the matter of helping the kitchen is still very difficult.

Lu Sheng and Lu Yan went to the dental shop several times but failed to find the right person. Lu Yan wants to find a girl, but most of the girls who are still in the dental shop who have not been bought by others have some problems. They are either not pure-hearted and were betrayed by their original owners, or they are timid and stupid and no one can take notice of them. superior. If you are buying a maid for yourself, it doesn't matter if she is dull, but you have to be timid to do business, and she doesn't have that much time to train her.

One day, Lu Sheng suddenly dragged Lu Yan out in a donkey cart. The donkey cart ran for a long time and arrived at a ruined temple in the suburbs.

Lu Yan followed Lu Sheng into the ruined temple at a loss. The ground in the temple was overgrown with weeds, and two thin girls were sitting there. She was very alert when she heard the voice, but when she saw it was Lu Sheng, she quickly got up and said in surprise: "My dear benefactor, Are you here to take us away?”

Lu Sheng ignored the two of them and turned to look at Lu Yan: "Do you think these two are okay?"

Lu Yan was confused: "What's going on???"

Lu Sheng smiled bitterly and explained the reason. It turned out that he went to buy spices a few days ago and passed by a drug store. The two sisters were sitting in front of the drug store. At that time, my younger sister was ill, and my older sister was sitting in front of the drug store with her younger sister in her arms, saying that she would sell herself to save her younger sister, and they would be slaves to anyone who helped her younger sister pay for medical treatment. But the two sisters were too young, and one was skinny and the other was sickly. Those who really wanted to buy slaves or maidservants looked down on them, and even the brothel madam was unwilling to buy one.

Lu Sheng felt sorry for the two of them and bought them medicine from the pharmacy. They will sell themselves to Lu Sheng as maids. Lu Sheng didn't take it seriously. As a result, he and Lu Yan went around the dental shop these days and couldn't find anyone suitable. Lu Sheng suddenly remembered these two people and took Lu Yan to see them.

Lu Yan asked the two sisters: "What are your names? How old are you? Where are your parents?"

My sister said: "My name is Chun Equinox, and my sister's name is Dongzhi. I am ten years old and Dongzhi is eight years old. We are originally from Ezhou. There was a flood in our hometown a few years ago, so we fled with our parents. My father died on the road, and my mother died in front of me. He also died a few years ago, leaving us two sisters living in a ruined temple, begging for food. I fell ill in Dongzhi a while ago, and I feel that this is not the way to go, so I might as well sell it to someone else, which is a way to survive. "

Lu Yan pondered for a moment after hearing what the two said and agreed to take them back. This is equivalent to getting two maids for nothing. Take them back for a look first. If it doesn't work, let them go and there will be no loss. So Lu Yan and Lu Sheng took the two sisters and drove the donkey cart home.

It was almost noon when she got home. Lu Yan boiled two buckets of water and put them in the wing for the sisters to take a bath and change into clean clothes. There are no extra clothes at home, they are all modified from Xu's clothes that Lu Yan used to wear. Xu made several new clothes for Lu Yan now. Those clothes that Lu Yan didn't wear before were given directly to the sisters.

The two sisters, who had washed themselves and put on clean clothes, did not look ugly, but were thin and shriveled. Lu Sheng was reminded of the original Lu Yan in a daze. Lu Sheng was in a daze for a moment, then led the two of them into the main room and sat down.

It was time to have lunch, and Lu Yan was too lazy to do anything else. Looking at the noodles she had made before leaving, she just made some fried noodles.

Lu Yan boiled a pot of water and pulled open the noodles. After the water boiled, she poured it into the pot. After it was cooked, she took it out and took out four large bowls. The seasoning powders are all ready-made. Lu Yan sprinkled a thick layer of salt, soy sauce, a little sugar, chili noodles, Sichuan pepper noodles, chopped green onions, and minced garlic into each bowl, then heated the oil in a pot and sizzled the hot oil. Pour it over four bowls of noodles, and the strong spicy aroma is instantly stimulated.

Oil splash

Lu Yan cut another plate of sausages and brought them to the main room.

"Today is short and I don't have time to make complicated things, so let's just eat some." Lu Yan told a few people while stirring the noodles.

Lu Sheng followed Lu Yan's example and mixed the noodles in front of him. The two sisters looked at a large bowl of noodles and a large plate of sausages in front of them, and their minds went blank.

"Mix it well quickly. It won't be easy to stir it up once it's cold." Lu Yan warned after seeing the two of them sitting still.

"I...we...can also eat this?" Equinox asked in disbelief.

Lu Yan looked over with a strange look on her face: "What else? I will make something else specially for you?"

The two sisters were so excited that they waved their hands and said they didn't dare. That's not what they meant. I just didn’t expect them to eat such good food. Without saying any more words, the two of them followed Lu Yan's example, mixing the noodles well and carefully eating them into their mouths.

The oil fully soaked the noodles, and the bowl of noodles turned brown and red, making people move their index fingers just looking at it. As soon as I took one bite, the oily, salty, and spicy flavors exploded in my mouth at the same time. The tip of my tongue trembled slightly from the spiciness. I still couldn't stop eating one bite after another, and beads of sweat appeared on the tip of my nose.

Seeing the two of them eating noodles, Lu Yan picked up two slices of sausage and threw them into their bowls. The sausage was made of pure meat, and when you take a bite, it overflowed with meaty aroma. Whether it was spicy or sweet, it was a delicacy that they had not dared to expect in so many years.

I ate until I shed tears during the Spring Equinox. After finishing the meal, he went to the kitchen to wash up with the empty bowl in his arms, taking away Lu Sheng's work.

After all the work was done, Lu Yan took out two deeds of prostitution: "If you are willing, just sign these two deeds of prostitution. If you can't write, just press your fingerprints. From now on, you will be a member of my Lu family. I'll say something ugly first." Speaking of which, I only have one bottom line, which is loyalty. If someone does something that betrays the Lord, don’t blame me for being merciless. As long as you are loyal and obedient, the benefits will be yours. The salary of two denarii per person per month, We are in charge of food and housing. We run a food shop, so we won’t shorten your food for anything. This salary is not much, and it will be increased for you in the future based on the store’s business conditions.”

Each person is given two coins per month, and food and accommodation are included. If you can eat this kind of fairy rice every day, it will be worth it even if you don't give money.

At the Spring Equinox and Winter Solstice, I knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Yan three times, and pressed her fingerprints without hesitation.
