"Uncle Tao, can you help me with this?" Su Yue asked again.

Shopkeeper Tao nodded and said: "Help, why not help? Since you have this ability, what can I say? Besides, you are not trying to steal business from me, right?"

"Haha, Tao Bo is a cheerful person!"

I have to say that Su Yue still likes the character of Shopkeeper Tao, so she can say whatever she wants.

Shopkeeper Tao asked: "Do you want to rent or buy? What is your budget?"

Su Yue thought for a moment and then said: "I can probably afford one hundred and fifty taels. If the price is right, it would be better to buy it."

Shopkeeper Tao nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, I will help you take a look."

"Thank you! I'll study a few more recipes when I have free time in the past two days!"

"Okay." Shopkeeper Tao was naturally eager for this.

Su Yue thanked her and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, vegetables were being washed and chopped to prepare ingredients for the evening, and Liu Chunhua was among them, but she was chopping chili peppers, which she also did the previous few times she came here.

No one likes to cut peppers because their hands will burn and hurt after cutting.

Others who were washing and chopping vegetables were working in twos and threes and chatting at the same time.

Only Liu Chunhua was cutting chili peppers alone, washing her hands in the water from time to time, with a look of pain on her face.

This job is the hardest to do. Is she being squeezed out?

Su Yue frowned and stepped forward and asked, "Why are you cutting the peppers again? It was you who cut them last time."

Several people who were working looked over when they heard this, but quickly lowered their heads and continued working. Only Liu Chunhua stopped what she was doing.

"How did you come."

Su Yue stepped forward and saw Liu Chunhua's hands that were red from the heat at a glance. There were no disposable gloves in ancient times. How could this be endured?

Liu Chunhua giggled and hid her hands behind her back.

"I want to cut the peppers myself..."

At this time, someone echoed: "She is just stupid. She rushes to chop the peppers every time."

"That's right, we agreed before that one person would take a day's turn, but she insisted on cutting it first."

Su Yue asked in confusion: "Why did you do this?"

Liu Chunhua said with embarrassment: "I get the same monthly salary as everyone else, but I go home early every day, and they have to work until night. I really feel guilty."

"But they stay at Bafangke at night, Bafangke provides them with accommodation, so they should work more!"

Su Yue really couldn't understand that a person who usually seemed smart and capable was acting stupid at this time.

Liu Chunhua scratched her head, still giggling.

"It's okay. Someone has to do this work. I cut the peppers and they didn't let me do anything else."

She had said so, what else could Su Yue say.

At this time, the steward in the kitchen came over, and when he saw Su Yue, he immediately stepped forward to greet Su Yue.

"Boss Su is here. What kind of delicious food are you here for?"

Su Yue smiled back and said, "I'm not cooking today. I'm here to see my sister."

The kitchen steward immediately looked at Liu Chunhua and saw her red hands. Seeing that Su Yue was not very happy, he immediately explained:

"Boss Su, we have a day-to-day duty to cut peppers, but Sister Liu insists on cutting them every day..."

"I know." Su Yue could only sigh helplessly.

She just thought someone was bullying Liu Chunhua, but she didn't expect it was her own choice.

This is an honest person, always cute and silly.

She always talked about how she came later than others every day and left early, but she got the same salary as others. She was really uneasy.

But since Liu Chunhua was willing, she had nothing to say, but she still warned:

"Don't cut it every day. Over time, you won't be able to do any work after you hurt your hand."

Liu Chunhua nodded when she heard this, "Then I will cut it every other day."

At this time, the kitchen steward said: "No, just follow the rules and one day per person."

Liu Chunhua wanted to say something else, but Su Yue immediately said: "Don't break the rules."

Liu Chunhua stopped talking.

And she did this because she had low self-esteem and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep her job.

She can clearly see the difference between herself and others.

For example, the ones working in the kitchen are all older women, and the younger and more beautiful ones are all working as maids on the first and second floors.

She is actually not very old, not yet thirty years old, but it is not inappropriate at all to mix with these people in their forties or fifties.

Because her skin is dark, wrinkled and has spots.

Moreover, she was not as clean and tidy as others, and she couldn't even wash vegetables well.

Don't think it's just washing vegetables. In fact, washing vegetables is not simple at all.

When poor people wash vegetables, no part of them is wasted, but here only the tender, good and fresh ones are needed.

In short, after she came here, many things overturned her previous understanding.

And after she learned how to be clean and hygienic, she really couldn’t see anywhere when she came home.

"Work hard and don't think too much." Su Yue didn't stay long and warned her again before leaving.

She had arranged a job for Liu Chunhua, but she had no control over other things. Whether she could continue doing it or not was entirely up to her.

There is no money that is easy to make in the world. This is the same whether it is modern or ancient times.

After leaving Bafangke, Su Yue went to the farmer's market to inquire about it. She planned to buy a carriage, which would make traveling more convenient.

It's just that she doesn't know how to drive a horse, so she can only learn it now. Fortunately, the people in the horse farm taught her seriously.

It took me half an afternoon, but I finally managed to learn simple instructions.

By the time she drove the carriage slowly to the school, it was almost dark. The two children were sitting side by side on the steps in front of the school, with Mr. Fang watching over them.

As soon as Su Yue got off the carriage, she quickly stepped forward and bowed repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, sir, I was delayed by something and caused you trouble."

She really overestimated himself. It took a lot of effort to drive the carriage here.

She pulled the reins along the way, and many times the horse went in the wrong direction. She came so late, and if she hadn't driven the carriage, she would have walked faster than driving the carriage.

Fang Yuanshan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No problem, it's not easy for you to be a woman with two children."

Su Yue bowed again to express her apology, and then she took the two of them into the carriage.

The two children didn't sit in the carriage honestly and always stuck their heads out to watch Su Yue driving the carriage.

Wang Youning looked at the pedestrians on the roadside who were walking faster than their carriage, and said, "Mom, we can even walk home faster than this."

Wang Youan also said: "Mom, where is the uncle driving the carriage?"

Su Yue said irritably: "This is the carriage my mother bought herself. It will be fine once I learn how to ride it."

The two children fell silent and retreated into the carriage.

Wang Youning whispered: "Brother, if we go this way, can we get home in the middle of the night?"

Wang Youan shook his head, touched his belly and said, "We will definitely starve to death when we get home."
