I'm being watched by my good brother

Chang Sheng shook his head, "Look for two more workers, I can't handle the kitchen alone, and I need someone to entertain guests in the shop."

Hou Wenqing was unhappy when he heard that, "It's fine for me to entertain guests in the shop."

Chang Sheng looked at him helplessly, "You can just collect the money. If you go to entertain guests, who will collect the money and keep the accounts?"

Hou Wenqing thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was the truth, "Okay then." After a pause, he hurriedly said, "Just hire another one to help you in the kitchen. There are ways to entertain guests in the shop."

Lu Zi has been serving Hou Wenqing since he was a child. Now that Hou Wenqing has opened a shop outside, he has nothing else to do in the Hou Mansion, and he has to worry about being fired all day long. Even if Hou Wenqing doesn't arrange things for him, he will find him himself. After Chang Sheng figured it out, he nodded in agreement.

It was the worker who was following behind—Xu Chengfu, after listening to the conversation between the two, said a little embarrassedly: "Master, my mother-in-law is idle at home, and she also wants to find something to do recently."

Both of them were stunned. Chang Sheng thought about it for a moment, but he didn't refuse. He just told Xu Chengfu about the work intensity in the kitchen and one month's salary. I was so excited that I almost jumped up, and quickly expressed my willingness.

As a result, the two workers were recruited in this way. Chang Sheng looked at Xu Chengfu who was full of excitement, and said with a smile: "We still need five bundles of firewood every day, and each bundle costs a penny. If we can deliver it to the shop, we will give you an extra penny." money."

Xu Chengfu immediately understood that this was an opportunity given to him by his boss. Although there is a ten-year-old boy in his family who can chop wood every day, but his son has to take care of his younger siblings, it is obviously unrealistic to chop wood, but even though his family cannot earn the money , It is also good to give up the opportunity to the brother's family.

"My boss, don't worry, I have many brothers, and I promise to deliver five bundles of firewood every day."

"Okay, I need firewood today, you can go back first, just come to work around four o'clock in the afternoon."

Xu Chengfu responded happily, and went home with great expectations for life.

Although Hou Wenqing, who saw the dialogue between the two, did not say anything, he still admired Chang Sheng in his heart.

Chang Sheng turned his head and saw his sweetheart looking at him with shining eyes, his heartbeat accelerated for a few seconds, he pretended to be calm and raised his hand to rub the hair that he had been coveting every day, "Let's go, I will go find you vegetable farmers."

Hou Wenqing tidied up his messy hair without saying a word, "Can you stop touching my hair all the time, it's hard to tidy up when it's messed up, do you know?"

"Don't be afraid, you look good without hair." Chang Sheng smiled and touched Hou Wenqing's shoulder.

The two said they were looking for a vegetable farmer, but they didn't actually find the vegetable farmer's house, but went directly to the vegetable market. At this time, there were not many vegetable sellers. Walking down the street, there were only a few vegetable sellers, but among them There are still a lot of vegetables left on one stall, and I'm afraid they won't be able to sell them all today.

The uncle who sold the vegetables saw the two coming, and immediately greeted them warmly, "Take a look as you please, the food here is guaranteed to be fresh."

Hou Wenqing and Chang Sheng walked to the stall and took a look. Even Hou Wenqing, who didn’t know what dishes were bad and what dishes were good, could tell that these dishes were really fresh, and only a few of them might be because they had been kept for a long time today. And a little depressed.

"Master, how do you sell so many of your dishes so fresh?"

While fanning the mosquitoes, the uncle sighed and said, "My house is too far away, and there were no people there when I came here."

Speaking of this, the uncle is helpless, he lives far away, and there is no bullock cart at home, and because he is worried about the bandits, he has to take a long detour, and he has to walk for more than five hours every day to bring a load of vegetables. When we arrived at the place, it was too late, and there were not many people shopping for vegetables.

So every time I come out to sell vegetables, I have to stay here for several days. In the end, because the vegetables are not good, I sell them very cheaply every time, but even so, he has to come. The family members are waiting to eat, Some money is needed for medical treatment.

Chang Sheng picked up some dishes and looked at them. Seeing that they were really good, he said directly: "Master, we want all these dishes from you. If you have more dishes at home, you can send them to us."

"Yes, yes, I don't have anything else at home, but there are too many dishes."

After chatting with the uncle for a few more words, he went straight back to the shop. He also wanted to show the uncle the way. This time they went back through the back door of the kitchen. The shop was not open, and they settled the vegetable money to the uncle. Chang Sheng told him Said: "From now on, it's enough to deliver the food here before seven o'clock every morning, and we will give five Wen for travel expenses."

As early as I heard that all the vegetables in the future can be sold here, the uncle’s family was very happy. Now that there is still five yuan for travel expenses, they waved their hands in shock, "No, no, it should be delivered. No need to pay travel expenses."

Chang Sheng shook his head, "We want a lot of vegetables, and this load is not enough. The extra travel expenses can be used to rent an ox cart."

The uncle nodded and accepted, and said that if he ran out of food at home, he would help find other people in the village to get some food and send it over.

Chang Sheng smiled and nodded, not worried that there would be no food at that time, as long as you give money, someone will definitely be willing.

After seeing off the uncle, the two went to the butcher's shop and some seafood shops. They both negotiated with each other about the amount of ingredients to be supplied every day, and when they returned to the shop, it was almost four o'clock when they agreed to come to work with Xu Chengfu.

Chang Sheng put the meat back in the kitchen before coming out to open the door. Hou Wenqing sat behind the counter to keep accounts, "Today the meat cost 36 renminbi, the vegetables cost [-] renminbi, and I earned [-] renminbi."

Unexpectedly, there were still leftovers, Hou Wenqing raised his eyebrows, very happy.

"I'll earn it again tomorrow."

Hou Wenqing nodded, and happily put the Liuwen money in the drawer. Although he would spend it immediately when the food and meat delivery arrived tomorrow morning, he was still very happy.

Not long after opening the door, Xu Chengfu arrived carrying a bundle of firewood, followed by four men also carrying firewood.

Chang Sheng coughed dryly, stretched out his hand towards Hou Wenqing, and smiled teasingly, "Miss Boss, ten pennies."

Hou Wenqing: "..." Silently opened the drawer and reloaded the six coins that had just been put into Chang Sheng's hands, and there was only four coins left to be taken from Chang Sheng's purse.

When Chang Sheng took the money and brought Xu Chengfu and the others in through the back door of the kitchen to set firewood, Hou Wenqing sat down with a depressed expression on his face, laying on the table and looking at only one drawer of the bookkeeping book. Four coins were spent!

Because of depression, it took a long time for Hou Wenqing to take out the accounting book and write down the expenditure just now.

Those who followed Xu Chengfu were all his brothers. When they really got the two pennies, the four of them finally couldn't help but get excited. They still didn't believe it. How could anyone spend two pennies to buy firewood? Knowing it turned out to be true!

"Tomorrow I won't bring firewood. You can figure out which family will produce two bundles of firewood." After Xu Chengfu finished talking to his brother, he quickly took the bucket in the kitchen and went to the well to fetch water.

The brothers had no reason to stay, and they each turned around and went home with two cents of money. In the end, Boss Xu suggested, "How about this, the four of us take turns to come, starting with me, two bundles of firewood for my family tomorrow, and two bundles of firewood the day after tomorrow." The second family has two bundles of firewood, and so on."

This method is very reasonable, and the brothers have no objections.

After Xu Chengfu filled both water tanks, Chang Sheng let him go home first, and because he didn't intend to continue doing business, the two closed the shop, Chang Sheng prepared to cook, Hou Wenqing waited for Chang Sheng After frying two dishes, he picked up two bowls, "I'll go to the side to buy two bowls of rice and come back."

"Are you okay?" Chang Sheng was a little skeptical.

"Why can't I, isn't it just to buy food!" Feeling that he was underestimated, Hou Wenqing glared at Chang Sheng, went to get two pennies and a bowl, then turned around and went out through the back door. After he came out, he stood at the door in a daze After standing for a while, he walked to Qianjie, took a bowl and looked around, and felt that none of them seemed to sell rice...

Just stood there in the street for a few minutes in such a dazed manner, finally the family where Chang Sheng often went to buy food found him and the two big bowls he was holding, and took the initiative to ask, "Are you here to buy food?" Bar?"

Hou Wenqing nodded with a reddish face.Then he was led into the house by the man who made the noise, who had just had dinner at the other's house. Seeing that it wasn't yesterday's brother, the little ones all stared at Hou Wenqing curiously.

Hou Wenqing finally gave two Wen of money and fled with food under the innocent eyes of the children.

Seeing him coming back, Chang Sheng chuckled a few times, turned around and walked into the kitchen, only then poured the vegetables into the pot and started frying, feeling very good.

Hou Wenqing waited at the door for the heat on his face to dissipate before entering the room. He proudly showed Chang Sheng two bowls full of rice, "Why can't I, didn't I just buy it back?"

"I was wrong, you are amazing."

"For the sake of your sincere apology, I won't argue with you." Hou Wenqing happily carried the bowl to the table and sat down to wait for the meal.

Chang Sheng fried a few home-cooked dishes and sat down. The two of them were about to start eating when they heard a familiar voice, "Closing so early?"

"Big brother."

When Hou Wentao walked into the kitchen, he didn't dislike the smell of cooking fumes. He went straight to the table and sat down. He was a little surprised to see the delicious dishes on the table, "You made all of these?"

Chang Sheng nodded with a smile, "Have you eaten, brother?"

Just as Hou Wentao shook his head to indicate that he hadn't eaten, Hou Wenqing stood up abruptly, "Brother, wait, I'll buy you a bowl of rice!" After speaking, he went to get a clean bowl and ran out of the kitchen like a gust of wind.

Hou Wentao: "...Buying rice? Didn't you cook it yourself?"

"Well, cooking is a bit troublesome, so I didn't cook it."

Hou Wentao nodded, noticed the oil stains on Chang Sheng's clothes, and couldn't help frowning, "If you're too tired, don't hold on, brother can afford you, it doesn't matter if you do business or not."

Chang Sheng smiled and nodded, "Understood, brother."

Hou Wenqing gained experience this time, and when he went over with the bowl, he calmed down a lot, and he came back with a big bowl of white rice not long after.
