Across the Far Mountain Tea Farmers

After seeing Yao Qing off, Xiong Da patted Wen Lun on the back: "Are you sleepy? Do you want to go back and sleep for a while?"

Wen Lun yawned: "No need. Let's go to the teahouse."

The people from the Ya shop were already waiting in the teahouse, Luo San, who was as thin as a hemp stick, was sipping a sip of tea with an expression of enjoyment.Luo San is an official, because he has a background in the government, even if he is doing low-level work like human teeth, people still respectfully call him San Ye Luo.But Mr. Luo knew his own weight. People of his status would not be able to enter places like teahouses, no matter how rich he was.

This was the first time he drank the tea from the tea house. Fortunately, he couldn't drink it, but he was obviously in a good mood, as if his whole body had been sublimated.

Before Xiong Da and Wen Lun entered the house, they saw more than 20 people standing straight in the yard.Seeing the two people coming, more than 20 people saluted in unison.Let Xiong Da and Wen Lun Gao take a look at this pie alone.

Luo San heard the movement inside, and quickly stood up: "Luo San has met Mr. Xiong, Mrs. Xiong."

Wen Lun had already been called "Mrs. Xiong" and lost his temper. He nodded without hesitation, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then got to the point: "Let's talk about the book boy first."

Luo San's face froze slightly when he heard the words, he originally planned to put this question at the end because: "Madam Xiong's request is quite special, if Luo San understands correctly, you want to be older? "Who's book boy wasn't raised by his side since he was a child?That young master Yao Qing is not very old, so it just happens to be a good thing to raise one?

Wen Lun: "That's right. A young man, Ji Xiao, there is an older one who can do something." How can there be children to take care of children?Rather than saying that he wanted to find a book boy for Yao Qing, it was better to say that he wanted to find a nanny and housekeeper.

Luo San nodded, stood outside the door, and called a handsome young man to come in.The boy was thirteen or fourteen years old, and his eyes moved around nimbly. He saw Xiong Da and Wen Lun salute again, and then there was nothing wrong with him.

Luo San directly introduced: "This person is called..."

Xiong Da interrupted suddenly: "Take another one."

The young man was taken aback, Luo San was also choked, but the situation was stronger than others, no matter how much they had opinions, they didn't dare to express them in front of Xiong Da.

After the boy went out, Xiong Dacai said to Wen Lun: "The mind is too open."

Wen Lun didn't know at all, he just glanced at the young man, and he couldn't tell that his mind was alive, but he believed in Xiong Da's judgment and nodded.The child was also a little younger, thin and skinny, with a heavy bookcase.

Three teenagers in a row were rejected by Xiong Da or Wen Lun for one reason or another.Luo San secretly wiped his face: "This is the last one. This person is Zhuo An. He used to be a kitchen assistant in a restaurant. Now the owner of the restaurant has closed the shop and has gone back to the countryside to retire. He's a bit older, 16 years old now."

As soon as Zhuo An entered, Wen Lun thought he saw Xiong Da Er.The tall and strong boy dimmed the light in the room a little, if not for the obvious immaturity on his face, he would have looked like a pork seller in the market.

The gap between this image and the book boy is not even a little bit...

Wen Lun took a look at Xiong Da, but he didn't reject it immediately, so he asked tentatively, "Are you literate?"

Zhuo An answered honestly: "I know a few words, and I have quietly learned the names of dishes from the shopkeeper."

That is to say, I don't know many words.Wen Lun thought for a while, then asked, "Can you cook?"

"Yes!" Zhuo An's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and then he said, "But I don't know much, I just learned a little from the chef."

Hearing Zhuo An's answer, Luo San almost wanted to jump.Why are you answering so honestly?What's the difference between his two characters and not being able to recognize them? He can be a book boy!

Speaking of which, Zhuo An and Luo San had some relatives and some stories.This kid is too honest, he is a well-connected person, and he specializes in a line of work. He has been around for almost a month, and there is no employer who wants to use Zhuo An.He obviously repeatedly taught the child how to answer, but when someone asked him, he immediately put aside those learned words and said one thing and another.

Wen Lun and Xiong Da looked at each other, but they didn't think so.Not to mention these years, it is the era when Wen Lun's recipes are flying all over the sky, and all the secret recipes are still precious. All kinds of private restaurants and hotel chefs don't have some secret recipes in their hands.

In a place like Qi, where the materials are relatively poor and the circulation speed is not fast enough, the recipes are even more precious, which are the foundation for supporting the family.

Of course, what Zhuo An learned could not be the chef's signature dish, but the chef missed one point. If he has the conditions to figure it out, he won't have to worry about opening a small restaurant.A helper chef can learn skills from the master chef, which proves Zhuo An's heart and character.

Of course, the requirements of being a kitchen assistant and a book boy are quite different.

Wen Lun thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. Zhuo An, why don't you stay and sign a two-year contract?" After two years, according to the rules here, it's time to get married and have children.If you can save some capital in two years, maybe people want to start their own small business?

Luo San didn't expect that Wen Lun would agree to let Zhuo An stay, and Zhuo An himself was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master!" Then he grinned and smirked.

Wen Lun's most important bookboy is done, and the rest is easy.After all, the book boy involved more personal issues, and it was still Yao Qing's use, so he couldn't be careless.

The next thing is more official business.After looking over the rest of the people, the shopkeeper, accountant, and waiter of the tooth powder shop were selected and finalized.A good housekeeper is hard to come by, and Wen Lun can't afford to be in a hurry.

Luo San successfully completed the work this time, and said with a smile on his face: "I don't care about the housekeeper, I will bring over as soon as there is a suitable candidate."

Xiong Da and Wen Lun nodded.

Bi He sent Luo San out and handed him a food box.

Luo San knew something was wrong when he took the food box, and he was very overwhelmed.I felt a little strange in my heart, how could that slender girl look like she was carrying two shallots?When he got home, he opened it and saw that there were six pastries of various colors on the upper layer, and a hanging coin on the lower layer, which was more than his Zhongren's money.

After Luo San left, Wen Lun thought for a while: "How about we go to the Yuyingtang?"

Xiong Da was a little puzzled: "Huh? Go train now?" It's not that he hasn't gotten along with children before. They are all the brats in Dacha Village, and they were all beaten up by him when they were young.Worry-free child, he has met Yao Qing.

But reading is not easy!What's more, Yao Qing will live alone soon.

Wen Lun thought about it and did it: "It's not training. Find a book boy for Ah Qing. Zhuo An can use it now, but he is getting old, and he can't be a book boy for the rest of his life. Now learn more from Ah Qing, and if he is willing to stay in the future , It’s better to work in a teahouse. Even if you can always be a book boy, Ah Qing also needs a servant.” The key is to find a peer for Ah Qing.

How old is a child?What should I do if I can't cheat my wife in the future if I look like a young man?No, these days they talk about the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.A daughter-in-law is not afraid that she will not be able to get married, but in the future, the husband and wife must have some fun in getting along, right?You can't make the bride feel like she's married to an old man!

The Foundling Hall is farther than the College.Wen Lun and Xiong Da almost reached the base of the city wall before they saw the words Yoyingtang.

Compared with the Yuyingtang in the county seat, the Yuyingtang in Fucheng is obviously much cleaner and tidy, but the house looks a bit old.

The two had excellent hearing, and before they got close, they heard the crying and howling of the children inside, as if a group fight was going on.When the two walked into the unguarded gate, what they saw made people frown.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, with his shirt open, clapped loudly and laughed loudly: "Hit! Hit hard! Whoever wins will eat!" There were four or five teenagers standing behind him, also in the same suit. Looking at the expression of the show, when seeing the two groups of younger children fighting more intensely, they cheered.

Just as Wen Lun wanted to dissuade them, the young boy who took the lead had already spotted the two of them, waved his hand to stop the two groups of children, and greeted them with a smile all over his face: "Where are these two distinguished guests?" While talking, he turned to Wen Lun and Xiong The big clothes glanced up and down.

After the two piles of fighting children separated, they stood behind the boy together, with appreciative smiles on their faces.

Wen Lun glanced at it, and then said nonchalantly, "Brother, I would like to ask how to get to Jiwu Lane?" Jiwu Lane is very famous in Anjiang City.Although it is also living in a place where the poor gather, most of the boatmen, carriage dealers, and bodyguards on the Da'an River are gathered.

The boy heard that it was Jiwu Lane, so he straightened his face: "Go out from here, go all the way north to the main road and you will see it."

Wen Lun smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."

Xiong Da stretched out his hand and took out two pennies to the boy.

The boy caught it reflexively, looked up at Xiong Da's eyes, couldn't help shaking his hands, and the two copper coins rolled to the ground with a jingle.The boy hurried to pick it up, and when he looked up again, the two of them were gone.

Capital

The emperor walked lightly and patrolled the Baigong Department.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry and several officials were explaining to the emperor: "At present, arrows and machetes are being manufactured on an assembly line. The efficiency has increased by [-]% compared to before. The time is still short now. After a while, there should be more The effect of the armor is also good, but there are many parts of the armor, and the Ministry of Industry can't find so many craftsmen at once, and they are recruiting from other places."

The young prince couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and glanced at his father triumphantly.

The emperor happened to meet the prince's gaze, stretched out his hand and pulled the well-behaved prince to his side, and with his big hand, he rubbed the prince's neatly combed hair into a bird's nest: "My son has the talent for governing the country." He is just a father. Buy some toys for my son, why did my son think of military industry from toys?

Sure enough, the older the son, the less cute he is!

The prince struggled hard under the clutches of the emperor's father, trying in vain to save his hairstyle: "Father!"
