Grandpa is not vegetarian

Gao Yichun's shop was opened, and the business was booming. More than a thousand skewers were sold every day, and hundreds of tea eggs were also sold.Gao Yichun was so busy with several children that she never had a moment to spare. Even Gao Xuehong had a sore back and a sore back. She lay on the kang every night and asked Mo Xiang to step on her. Shabu's work has not been missed at all, and he has never complained.

Gao Yichun discussed with Mu Yunyi about paying the big guys wages, Mu Yunyi smiled and said: "You are the shopkeeper, whether you will be paid or not, and how much you will be paid, is up to you, don't ask me."

So Gao Yichun set a salary standard of three qian silver for Gao Xuehong every month. Although Mo Xiang and the Ji family brothers were young, they also got up early and late every day, and it was extremely hard work. Gao Yichun decided to give them a salary. A bunch of money per person per month.

A few people naturally declined: "We can eat and live here for free, and we can read and write. It is a blessing from God. I didn't feel like it at first, but now I can help with some work, which makes me feel better." People feel at ease."

Gao Yichun insisted on giving it, and they insisted on not wanting it. In the end, Mu Yunyi thought of a compromise: "These money should be recorded in the account first, and in the future spring and autumn, and Mo Xiang's studies will require pens, ink and paper. They all need money, and after the enlightenment this year, it is best to go to free schools next year to study, that also needs money, and the money will be used by then."

For two days in a row, the guests of the tea house and the restaurant were crowded and broke the door, everyone was exhausted, and Mu Yunyi even ran back and forth, for fear that the management there would not be good and there would be an accident.

In fact, there is a reason why the business is so good. This year is the year of Yi Chou, and the boys who test for talent take the exam twice every three years. This year is the year of the Grand Competition, and those who can take the Juren examination. Last year, Gao Xuejie went to Beijing to take the Juren examination, but he failed.

Examination for a scholar must pass the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination successively. Only after passing all of them can he be awarded the official title of scholar. The county examination is presided over by the county magistrate.Wangcheng County has developed quite well in the past 50 to [-] years, and the number of scholars has also increased. All the people from all over the world came here, plus family members accompanying the exam, and servants served by rich people, so the passenger flow increased sharply.

Scholars like to chat, there is something in their stomachs, and their mouths can’t be idle. Teahouses are a good place to set up a dragon’s gate, and Malatang is a new thing. It has become famous in a few days, and everyone who hears about it will come to taste it. So both sides are full every day.

But that day, Gao Yichun was so busy in the store that his feet didn't touch the floor, the first six tables in the room were already full, and there were people standing and eating with big bowls, and the outside was also crowded with people, Gao Yichun stood at the door, Holding a large strainer, he kept plucking skewers from the big wooden barrel, while Gao Yiqing stood aside and was busy collecting money. The two brothers collected the money and shipped the goods, and they cooperated very tacitly.

The cooked skewers were constantly being taken out, but the number of customers outside did not shrink at all. After a short while, a big bucket of [-] skewers was sold out, and the Ji family brothers used a small pole from inside to Take out a bucket on your shoulders, and then take away the bucket that has cleaned up the spicy skewers and left the empty soup.

"Are you Sanlang?" Suddenly a familiar voice sounded in front of him. Gao Yichun raised his head and saw a young man wearing a gray cloth robe standing in front of him. He recognized Luo Jiulang from the neighboring village. Happy, he turned around and shouted, "Erlang! Erlang! Look, Sanlang is here!"

Gao Yichun smiled brilliantly in an instant, showing his white teeth: "Brother Luo Jiu, are you here too? Are my brother and uncle outside?"

Luo Jiulang said: "No, it's just me and your second brother. We went out for a walk together and came to you after smelling the fragrance."

While talking to him, Gao Yichun quickly fished out more than 20 skewers, wrapped them in straw paper and handed them over: "Brother Jiu, I'm really busy here, I'll take these skewers for you to eat with my brother first." Come on, wait until there are fewer people here in the evening, and then go to see you, and take care of my brothers and uncles for me!"

Luo Jiulang was so happy that he won the string for nothing, and felt that Beier had a face, so he told Gao Yichun loudly: "We live in the Gaosheng Inn!" Then he walked out of the crowd proudly.

When the other side left, Gao Yiqing complained unwillingly: "Who are they? Why did you treat us back then, and let the dog bite brother Yuanbao? Why did you give him food for nothing? If you want me to say, even if you took it Don’t even sell them for money!”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Gao Yichun glared at his younger brother, and said in his mouth, "Although they spent the pension money that our father paid for with his life, they bullied us without our parents' protection, and borrowed money to arrest us. Xiong Xiazi's hunting dog is going to eat ingots, and what's more..." He almost recounted Gao Yizhi's affairs from the beginning, and then said emphatically, "But he is my cousin after all, so it's okay to give him some, remember later In the account, it’s just from my wages!”

From Shangchen to Shenshi in the afternoon, the number of talents began to decrease. Everyone was exhausted when the stalls were closed. Gao Yichun specially packed a large plate with ten tea eggs. Pan, let's go to the Gaosheng Inn together.

The owner of the Gaosheng Inn is named Gao Sheng. Because of this name, every time the annual and scientific examinations are held, the guest rooms are full, and any scholar who takes the examination is willing to seek auspiciousness.

Gao Yichun brought his younger brother to the inn and found the guest room reserved by the Gao family. Sure enough, Gao Xuexin, Gao Xuecheng, Gao Yizheng, and Gao Yizhi were all there, and the four of them rented two Tianzi brand guest rooms. There were famous calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room. There are antique vases, which are quite elegant.

They were very happy to see brothers Gao Yichun delivering food, especially Gao Xuexin: "Sanlang, I heard from your brother that you work as a waiter in a restaurant over there in Dongshi?"

Gao Yichun nodded: "That's right, thanks to Shopkeeper Mu taking me in, otherwise Xiao Wu and I really don't know what to do."

Gao Xuexin smiled and said, "Are you tired of working there? What kind of work do you do every day? How much money can you earn?"

Gao Yichun said: "Business in the store is good, people who get up early and work late at night, it is inevitable to be tired, but the owner is good, he gave me fifteen yuan a day, saying that if the business continues to be so good, there will be red envelopes at the end of the year, but I don't know how to do it." Can't point to it."

"Fifteen Wen is really a lot." Gao Yizhi said in surprise, "Fifteen Wen a day, 450 Wen a month, and five taels of silver a year, which is equivalent to the income of five and a half acres of land. The [-] acres of land in the upper village, Sanlang, you can be considered a small rich man! I used to hear people say that in the county town, there is no money, and there is no money to earn. Looking at it now, this is really the case."

Gao Xuexin asked again: "How about shopkeeper Mu? Can you beat and scold you and Xiao Wu? Oh, Xiao Wu has lost weight, come here and let uncle take a good look." Gao Yi gave him an innocent look, and stood behind Gao Yichun , pouted and didn't speak, he was a little embarrassed, and then said to Gao Xuecheng, "After the exam is over tomorrow, we have to see the shopkeeper Na Mu, don't think that our children have no adults to protect them, and they will do whatever they want for nothing." Bullying, that's impossible."

Gao Xuecheng could see that his elder brother was thinking about Gao Yichun's salary, and he was quite disdainful. He used to like Gao Yichun quite a lot, because he was hard-working, hard-working, and never lazy. Only after the separation, because of his The two were of the same mind as outsiders, and their impression of the two of them changed drastically, but unlike Gao Xuexin, he was not thinking about getting money from children, so he sat beside him and didn't respond.

Gao Yichun is very enthusiastic about these relatives: "These uncles and uncles, and the two elder brothers eat first. Now that we are here, I may have to be the host. Honoring elder brothers is also a due duty. If you I love to eat, and I will send a plate every day for everyone to eat enough! Finally, I wish the uncle, uncle, brother, and second brother, you can be like this Malatang this time, flourishing, and win the championship in one fell swoop! In the future, you will be the leader of the case, I will let the shopkeeper advance the wages, and I will celebrate you with wine!"

Coming out of Gao's house, Gao Yichun seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face all the time. Gao Yiqing was very unhappy, and ignored him with a pouted mouth. He didn't even say a word to him on the way, and went home and saw Mu Yun Yi, Fang grinned and cried, feeling extremely wronged: "My brother brought a lot of spicy skewers to them. They could have been sold, but he kept them. I thought they were for brother Yuanbao. I didn't expect it was reserved for them, woo woo, Brother Yuan Bao..."

What happened in the past left a deep shadow in the child's heart. Rather than hate, it is better to say fear. Gao Yiqing is afraid that he will go back to the past and watch others read books, but he and his brother will do it. The dirtiest and most tiring work, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be beaten and scolded.

Mu Yunyi held him in his arms, coaxed him a few words, then looked at Gao Yichun: "Brother Yichun..."

"You don't need to ask, I have my own plan." Gao Yichun interrupted Mu Yunyi's words somewhat bluntly.

When eating in the evening, the atmosphere was a bit gloomy. Everyone knew what happened today, but they had no position to blame Gao Yichun. They just ate sullenly. Gao Yichun didn't speak.

The next day, Gao Xuexin really came with Gao Yizhi and Luo Jiulang. Gao Xuecheng and Gao Yizheng didn't bother to bully the children with him, and they didn't follow him while studying in their own room.

Gao Xuexin directly asked to see Shopkeeper Mu, but since "Treasurer Mu" was in the teahouse, how could he see it, and the door was crowded with people, and there was no place for them to stay. Gao Yichun laughed and said loudly: "Uncle, Second brother, Brother Luo Jiu, you go back first, I will send the skewers over later!" Everyone turned their heads and looked sideways.

Gao Xuexin was very happy to see him so well-behaved, and he left with his son in a hurry.
