Breeding Mermaid Cubs

After the seventh day, Wang Qingye gradually got busy.

Jiangchun Building opened on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, but the small stall has remained silent. Years ago, he planned to set up a separate shop. After the new year, he went to the real estate agency for a few days before finalizing a small shop with a front room and a back kitchen. Although the shop I bought is still relatively new, if I want to open a snack shop myself, I still have to reinstall it according to my own convenience.

Zhou Zhu was busy at the shop every day, even busier than setting up a stall in the market.

"It is estimated that the shop will be almost finished in two days. I posted the recruitment notice early in the morning, and people came to sign up one after another. I asked everyone to come to the shop today, and Mr. Wang will see which ones are suitable."

"How many people are coming?"

Zhou Zhu said: "There are seven or eight of them. There are quite a few people looking for errands in the beginning of the year. Besides, the salary is high, and women are allowed to sign up, so there are more people."

I also don't know how the relatives and friends at home knew that he was going to be the head of the new shop. During the first month, there were more people visiting the house than in previous years.Since his father passed away, the family has been living in poverty, and the number of relatives who come to visit is less and less every year, and the house is deserted during the Chinese New Year, and there are only three or two households that can walk.

This year is good. The aunt who used to avoid their family during the holidays not only greeted him and his mother warmly when they met him and his mother on the road, but also brought eggs and bacon to the house as guests during the first month, and kept praising her. He was promising and wanted to propose marriage to him, which caused him to hide in the shop early to get busy.

Otherwise, it's my aunt coming to visit for a kiss today, and my third uncle coming to find an errand for my son tomorrow, which is really more annoying than anything else.

In the past, there may not be so many good relatives in the down and out. When the family sees a slight improvement, people with a little relatives and acquaintances will pull you to say that they are like close relatives.

He knew early on that human relationships are cold and warm, and when he worked at Wang Qingye's small stall, his relatives and friends laughed at him for not being able to work for others in the small stall, and he couldn't earn a few copper coins in a month. Every once in a while, he eats good food and meat, and then turns around and talks good things. He asks around what he is doing. Now that he has not officially started working in the shop, they know that he is going to be the master, and they follow him attentively one by one. It's like losing money.

He didn't accept any of the people recommended by relatives and friends.

"Although our small shop is not as good as Jiangchun Tower, we still need to put up a signboard so that people can find it. Do you have an idea, Mr. Lang?"

Wang Qingye looked at the shop with his waist in his hands, and said, "Whatever you want."

"Huh? How casual? Wang's snack shop?"

Wang Qingye laughed, and said seriously: "I mean you can name it whatever you want."

He had this idea a long time ago. There are thousands of food in future generations, but everyone still doesn’t know what to eat for lunch and dinner. If you ask, it’s just casual, so he simply opens a casual one. You can eat whatever you want at the small stalls in the past, and in the future Xiaopumian will still inherit this point.

Zhou Zhu repeated it several times: "It's strange, not only the snacks in our shop are unique, but also the name of this shop will be the same in the future, so people will know when they mention it. Well, I will go to the carpentry shop later. Let the master craftsman make the signboard."

"But here are the recruits?"

While the two were talking, a woman poked her head in and took a look.

"Exactly." Zhou Zhu hurriedly went to greet people, and there was a young man following the woman.

"Lang Jun, should we start now or wait until everyone is together?"

The two of them sat in front of the stool a little awkwardly, and when they heard something started or not, they felt even more confused.

"Don't delay anyone, let's start now."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhu went to get a pen and paper, and temporarily dragged a small long table, Wang Qingye was the examiner, and Zhou Zhu was the recorder.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking about your situation."

The woman nodded: "Lang Jun, just ask."

"Name, age."

"He Zhumei, eight out of twenty."

"Did you ever work as a helper? If so, please tell us what you did and where you did it."

The woman said: "A few years ago, I worked as a starcher and laundry errand in the Zhou family's courtyard."

"How long did you do it, why didn't you do it again?"

"For about a year, the owner lost money on cutting expenses in business, so he resigned as a helper and servant girl, and I was among them."

Wang Qingye nodded, seeing that Zhou Zhu had written everything concisely and to the point, he asked again, "Where do you live?"

"Xiaoming alley in the north of the city."

"Okay, then I will ask you the last question. If you can work in my shop, what job do you think you are most suitable for?"

Before the woman came, she knew that this shop was for selling snacks. She had never done this kind of errand before, but she had done laundry before. She could talk, but the boss suddenly asked her what she was capable of, which made her face a difficult situation. She hesitated for a while and said: "The hands and feet are quite nimble, and you can wash dishes."

"Okay, I get it, I've probably asked so many questions, you can go back first. If you pass it, you can receive a notice from the master before nightfall tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you sir."

The woman had nothing in her heart, her expression remained the same from the beginning to the end of the question, and she didn't know whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied, so she left sadly.

Then the second one, Wang Qingye walked according to the procedure, but unexpectedly the man didn't answer, he babbled and gesticulated, and the people behind him couldn't help laughing: "The dumb people come to the restaurant to find jobs these days."

The man's expression darkened when he heard the words, and Wang Qingye lowered his head slightly, turned around and was about to leave.

"If you can write, you can simply write."

Wang Qingye handed over the pen and paper, and gestured to Zhou Zhu again.

"Get out of the back first, don't quarrel with the people in front, your every move here will be included in the assessment."

The people in the line fell silent and retreated to the back, and went to drink tea silently.

The mute took a breath, sat back down again, and picked up the pen.

Wang Qingye took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner. Seeing that there were still several people waiting behind him, he asked Zhou Zhu to follow his procedure to ask the basic situation and record it. The interview by himself was too slow.

After a while, the mute pushed the pen and paper towards him respectfully.

Wang Qingye picked up the paper and looked at it, he was a bit surprised, the man could write, even though he was more crooked than when Mian Shu was writing at the beginning, but fortunately he could still recognize what was written.

The man's name is Ma Lao, who has just reached the weak crown. He used to load and unload goods for the grain shop and cloth village wine shop. For other jobs that are a little easier, if you can do things in the shop, you can do all the chores, and the wages can be half of the other guys.

Wang Qingye put away the paper and stacked it with the woman's: "I have seen your situation, and it is still the same as the previous aunt, go back and wait for the notice."

The mute stood up and bowed to Wang Qingye.

After being busy for nearly an hour, Zhou Zhu counted all the resumes. Originally, there should only be seven or eight, but for some reason, two more came, and the number of resumes became ten.

"Lang Jun, is there anyone you like?"

Wang Qingye knew how many people he interviewed, and looked at Zhou Zhu's records. Three of them were villagers from nearby villages, so they had to be eliminated. After all, it is a bit far away, and it is somewhat inconvenient to go to work.

In addition, he eliminated those who were gossips today, and there were only seven left.

"This man surnamed Zhang can also go. I said earlier that he has worked as a waiter in Fengchunlou and Tianjin Restaurant. Although he has quite a lot of experience, he is a little arrogant. I am afraid that he will not accept discipline in the future."

Wang Qingye agreed: "You're right. Anyone who thinks highly of himself must carefully consider it."

"Should the dumb one go too?"

"It's a little inconvenient not being able to speak, but I see that this person is down-to-earth. I'm afraid the reason why he went to work as a coolie before was because he couldn't speak and bumped into obstacles everywhere. He was willing to lower his salary to get this job, which shows that he is sincere. , since that’s the case, why not give him a chance.”

Zhou Zhu put away the dumb resume again: "Your Majesty is benevolent."

"Just the first aunt, the mute, and the three men surnamed Gao who used to be clerks because of the bankruptcy of the former employer. Let them try it for a month. If they do well, they will stay. If they don't do well, they will leave." Persuade you to quit, keep an eye on the left and right, and finally you decide." Wang Qingye didn't want to manage things too carefully, since he let Zhou Zhu be in charge here, let him do it, so that he would be at ease, It can also train some people to come out.

"Okay, three buddies should be more than enough." Zhou Zhu's eyebrows twitched: "It's just that I'm short of a bookkeeper."

"No hurry, I have arrangements for this matter. Other than that, the big things are almost settled, and I will leave the training and some minor things to you later."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, the matter will be handled properly for you."

Wang Qingye patted Zhou Zhu's shoulder: "That's very good."

Mian Shu ordered a steamed fish from the back kitchen, but the food was tasteless, he didn't see Wang Qingye coming back after school for half an hour, so he put down the plate, and he went to the counter to help Mr. Accountant make a plan.

"Little brother, is there a private room upstairs?"

Mian Shu raised his head, and the person who spoke was a girl in pink clothes, and he had seen her several times in the past month.Wang Qingye said that old customers should be treated well, so he said politely: "The room that the girl often goes to is specially reserved for the girl. Fortunately, the girl came early, otherwise there will be too many people to stay later."

He waved to the guy cleaning the table: "Xiao Liu, go out and park the girl's carriage."

"Yes."

The girl Shi Shiran smiled: "Thank you, little brother, for your thorough arrangements."

"It should be."

After watching the people go upstairs, Mian Shu took some tea and prepared to send it up, and then took the menu to the back kitchen to pass on the dishes. The handyman did it, but it was my own business after all, so I had no complaints about working a little harder.

Mian Shu carried the tea upstairs and heard the girl talking to the maid at the door.

"Miss, you come here every day. I only saw the gentleman three or two times, and I didn't say hello. Although the food in the restaurant is delicious, I can't resist eating it all. There is a lot of rushing back and forth." What's the point?"

"Perhaps he is busy with business matters. It is good for a man to be ambitious. Our Xu family has a large family business. According to my mother's wishes, don't waste your time on scholars. There are brothers and sisters in the family who are good scholars. Well, after all, we still have to find someone who can support our business."

Xu Ruozhi leaned on the fence and looked into the distance: "Look at how tiring my mother is with the family's business, but my father only knows how to copybooks, calligraphy and painting. I can't help my mother at all in business. Now I have inherited my father's style of writing and ink. But if you know a little bit, you can't compare with your mother at all, so what should our Xu family do in this way."

The maid nodded: "Miss is still considerate. Mr. Wang Langjun has the unanimous favor of Mrs. and Mrs. Wang, and he is an unmistakable candidate. But according to Mrs.'s opinion, it is just a pity that Mr. Tang is familiar with the fourth young master. I am afraid I'm afraid that the two of you might have something else to do with it."

Xu Ruozhi knew her mother's worry, others didn't know the true nature of Fourth Young Master Tang, but their Xu family knew it best.

At that time, a distant cousin of Xu's family was ruined, and only a son was born. The mother saw that he was pitiful and thought that there was no son at home, so she adopted her as a adopted son and raised him in Xu's family.

At that time, the Tang and Xu families had a deep relationship, and the fourth young master Tang, who was about the same age as his brother, naturally became playmates with his brother. At that time, the two of them went to school together at the Meditation Academy, and they got along day and night with great results. The dean also said that the future of the two is immeasurable. The masters and students in the academy all called the two the two jades of meditation. For a while, the scenery was unparalleled, and the Tang and Xu families enjoyed it even more.

When she was young, she felt that the two brothers got along very well, and she was envious of having such a confidant, until one winter day three years ago, everything changed.

In the first month of that year, the two families of Tang and Xu got together as usual. Brother Yi and Fourth Young Master Tang passed the examination together.The red plums transplanted at home in previous years bloomed for the first time, and everything seemed to bode well.

The two families happily went to the yard to admire the red plums, but unexpectedly ran into Master Tang Si and his righteous brother hugging and kissing in the plum grove, which shocked the two families greatly.

She almost forgot how dull the family was at that time, her brother-in-law was fined to kneel in the ancestral hall for five days, she felt sorry for his brother-in-law who secretly delivered food, he was so depressed that he didn't drink a drop of water.

A few days later, the Tang family came to apologize. The incident was all caused by Fourth Young Master Tang. It was Fourth Young Master Tang who was bothering him, and had nothing to do with his brother-in-law. .

She heard that Uncle Tang was very angry because of this incident. Fourth Young Master Tang was punished by his family and lay at home for several months. Give up, do some irregular things on weekdays.

Although the Tang and Xu families no longer mentioned this matter, on the surface they are the same as in the past, but they each have their own hurdles in their hearts, and their contacts are not as close as they were when he was.

Later, Yixiong stayed in the capital as an official in the top three of the high school imperial examinations, and rarely returned to Xiacheng. Instead, he did fulfill his promise to his mother not to see the Fourth Young Master Tang.Over the years, everyone must have felt that it was just the two of them doing something wrong while they were young and energetic, and they chose to forget about it.

But only she knows that every first month, Brother Tang Si will go to the Red Plum Garden.

"I don't think they are too close, so I guess they have nothing to do with each other." Xu Ruozhi looked into the maid's eyes: "You have to fight for the good things by yourself, and the ones who come to the door by themselves are the only ones who come to the door by themselves." It can show that you are better than him. Go and see if Wang Langjun has come to the restaurant."

"How does the little brother stand outside?"

Mian Shu frowned, and gave the waiter the tea in his hand: "I suddenly remembered something else, you go and have a look."

"it is good."

Mian Shu went downstairs suddenly, and was about to go out when she bumped into someone's arms: "Why are you running so fast?"

Mian Shu raised his head, seeing that it was finally the one who came back, he raised his eyebrows and turned back to the restaurant without saying a word.

Wang Qingye followed up and grabbed Xiao Yuzai's arm: "The snack shop over there is recruiting people today, and there are more people here, so it's delayed to pick you up. Besides, I'm not with you this morning. Did you say something, but you were sleepy and didn't listen."

Mian Shu was originally angry about this matter, but once she encountered more angry things, it was not worth mentioning.

"There are guests waiting for you upstairs, Yazi No. [-] room."

"Tang Suxiao is here again?"

In the first few days, this boy lied to him to go to Xu's house, saying that he would pick some red plums for Mianshu, but when he went back, Babaer took the red plums away by himself, so shameless.I had the nerve to come to him today, just to go up and argue with him.

Mian Shu went back to the counter and sat down. Seeing the person go upstairs, although she was angry, she still did not forget to follow her lightly.

Wang Qingye strode into the private room, he really thought that Tang Suxiao was inside, he opened the door without any scruples and found Miss Xu family sitting inside, which shocked the girl.

"Wang, Wang Langjun..."

"It turned out to be Ms. Xu. The little brother at home said that there are regular customers coming. I'll come up to meet you." Wang Qingye said quickly, and took out two bottles of drinks from the table cabinet and put them on the table: "Young lady, take it easy. Call a buddy if you need anything."

It was the first time Xu Ruozhi was so close to Wang Qingye, he even forgot the etiquette of a girl's house and just stared at him.As the saying goes, a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. In fact, this is not entirely true. This is true for ordinary people, but this sentence is not used for truly outstanding people. Even if the clothes are simple, it is difficult to hide their beauty.

Wang Qingye was about to retreat, when Yuanyuan's figure suddenly jumped into his arms as soon as he opened the door.

Mian Shu's hearing is excellent, but she couldn't help but want to get close to the door and listen to the wind and grass in the room clearly. Unexpectedly, Wang Qingye would be so businesslike when he spoke, and came out with a single sentence.He rubbed his sore nose, coughed dryly and said, "I'm here to get the menu."

Wang Qingye frowned, he didn't know his virtue, so he said in a low voice: "You little bastard!"

He covered Mianshu's nose, fearing that he would get a nosebleed twice, so he dragged him downstairs.

Xu Ruozhi froze in the private room, and before he had time to surprise Wang Qingye, he dragged that little brother away in a blink of an eye?

The maid called softly: "Miss?"

Xu Ruozhi regained his composure: "Go and find out who that little brother is from."

"understood."

Wang Qingye pinched Mianshu's nose and rubbed it: "When did I learn to eavesdrop on other people's conversations? It's not good."

Mian Shu said strangely, "Let me see what my sister-in-law looks like."

"Nonsense!" Wang Qingye poked him on the head: "Who taught you to say this."

"There's no need to teach. People come here every day just to see you. That's not sister-in-law."

Wang Qingye frowned: "What happened every three days, I only saw her twice after all, don't talk nonsense about the bad girl Qing Yu."

Mian Shu approached Wang Qingye: "Have you started to speak for her?"

"I'm serious." After thinking for a while, Wang Qingye clicked his tongue and said, "Didn't you dislike me for being old and unmarried a few years ago? The fortune tellers on the street all said that this year is a good year. I think it’s good to have big things on the agenda.”

Mian Shu smiled and cast a sideways glance at Wang Qingye.

"The Xu family has a lot of money, but they only have one daughter. If she succeeds, she won't have to work in the dark in the future."

Mian Shu was too lazy to hang up when she heard the words and laughed, and said: "Is our family short of money? It's so short that you have to sell yourself to Xu's house?"

Wang Qingye burst out laughing, wanting to slap the dark-faced little Yuzai, but was dodged unexpectedly.

"I'm kidding you, our family doesn't need to be a door-to-door son-in-law."

"I don't want to listen to you." Mian Shu pulled out his book bag from the counter: "I'm sleepy, so I'll go back first."

Wang Qingye stood up: "Why are you so angry today?" It's not always the case when teasing him.

"Mianshu!"

Wang Qingye followed and coaxed: "I'm just joking, if you don't like it, just don't say it in the future."

Mian Shu didn't answer, the two went out of the city one after the other, and when they got home, Mian Shu really slept in the bathtub.

Wang Qingye stood by the tub, looking down at Yuzi who turned his back to him: "I really never thought about Miss Xu's family, even if I get married, I will treat you as well as before."

Still don't speak.

"Then will it be possible for me to choose the one you like when I get married in the future?"

"You made me sleep."

Wang Qingye sighed: "Okay, you have a good rest."

After leaving the house, Wang Qingye hailed a carriage and turned around to go to Tang's house.

Tang Suxiao was picking up calligraphy and paintings at home, when a servant came to report that Wang Langjun was coming, he quickly rolled up the scroll: "Please come in."

"Make a pot of good tea."

"Yes, sir."

Although he has been invited by Tang Suxiao many times, this is the first time for Wang Qingye to go to the Tang family. The Tang family house is no smaller than the Xu family, and even bigger. .

"Why did you trick me into going to Xu's house?"

Seeing the person, Wang Qingye blocked Tang Suxiao's fancy greetings with a single sentence.

Tang Suxiao exhaled, and rarely showed a serious expression: "Brother Wang came here to question me about this matter? Don't get angry, sit down and talk about everything."

"Inviting Brother Wang to Xu's house is not a scam, but just to take Brother Wang to see the excitement. Brother Wang's business has just started, and it was originally to make some contacts at the banquet of the Xu family. Notable people from Shaoxia City came, but I don't know why all of them turned into young men to participate this year, maybe Ruozhi has reached the age of marriage, and the Xu family deliberately did it." Tang Suxiao said: "Furthermore, Mrs. Xu has a crush on Brother Wang. If you don't go to the banquet, she has other ways to meet Brother Wang."

Wang Qingye actually agrees with this. After all, Mrs. Xu is willing to condescend to go to his small broken house to buy prescriptions in person, and why can't she find any other way? What's the matter with Merlin, my house is restless due to the current disturbances."

"It's really not my intention, but it's just that I want to see Hongmei myself." Tang Suxiao apologized: "I hope Brother Wang will not be offended."

"If I had known this earlier, I would have preferred not to have brought Brother Wang to Hongmeilin, so that I would not have met Ruozhi. Mrs. Xu did not like Brother Wang's association with me during the banquet, and I am afraid she would give up on that, but Ruozhi met in Hongmeilin. Seeing that Brother Wang fell in love at first sight, Mrs. Xu had another idea, and when my son came to sit at home, all he said was that I wanted to grab a man with her daughter, so I was reprimanded by my father, and I was locked up at home for a few days and was not allowed to go out."

Wang Qingye raised his eyebrows, looked Tang Suxiao up and down, and said, "Master Tang is really honest."

Tang Suxiao shook his head: "Anyway, half of this happened because of it, and the other half was caused by Brother Wang's being too attractive."

"Actually, Ruozhi is not a troublesome person. If Brother Wang really doesn't mean that much, I can talk about it with a cheeky face after I have enough confinement."

Wang Qingye waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll tell it myself, you can do it yourself. Farewell."

After sending the man out, the servant came back and said to Tang Suxiao: "It's really hard, young master."

"You don't understand, only good-looking people have so much trouble."

The author has something to say: something was delayed today, so I came a little late, woo woo woo~

In fact, there is also a picture of Brother Ye on Weibo, interested friends can take a look.
