Great Imperial Merchant

After contacting Ren Yali for a few days, he quickly wrote back.

Cheng Weizhe and Yang Zhongyuan picked a sunny afternoon and went to Renya Li's residence together.

Because it is in the dental business, although the Li family is not a serious and big family, it is not bad.Especially the main hall of his house is quite dignified and spacious, not much different from many wealthy merchants.

After Yang Zhongyuan and the two sat down, they soon realized why the main hall of his house had to be made so large.

Not long after, a dozen or so people filed in, and Ren Yali immediately stood up, letting the oldest of them stand in front.

"Both young bosses, these guys all want to be second cooks. Don't worry about my work, Lao Li. I didn't call those who are not good enough."

They said there were several people, but in fact there were only two of them, and one of them looked sallow and emaciated, not like a cook at all.And the other looks too bloated, and it looks like a delicious person.

These two people seem to be too different.Yang Zhongyuan didn't know what to say, so he had to take a look at Cheng Weizhe.

After receiving the instructions, Cheng Weizhe opened his mouth and asked, "Where did the two of you work before? Why did you find another job?"

The fat man saw that the thin man didn't speak, so he said a few words first. It was simply because he couldn't do it in the original owner's house, so he came to Ren Yali to try his luck.After he finished speaking, the thin man opened his mouth hesitantly: "To tell you the truth, my father and I are the only ones in my family. He has been ill recently. I begged the master to allow me to go back to take care of my father when I'm not alive, but the master disagrees."

His reason is much more justified, but this time Yang Zhongyuan will not be so arbitrary, he saw that the eyes of the two people were very earnest, exchanged opinions with Cheng Weizhe in a low voice, and then said: "How about it, you two later Follow us back and see who is good at craftsmanship, we will keep whoever, okay?"

In their business, they rely on craftsmanship to eat, and Yang Zhongyuan's approach is the same as that of most restaurants.The two of them didn't say anything after hearing this, they just nodded and went outside to wait.

After they left, the only ones left in the hall were young boys in their teens.

Seeing that the two of them were willing to give the two cooks a try, Ren Yali couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.He is a man, so he is naturally very familiar with the things in the streets and alleys of Quzhou. He has long heard that the newly opened restaurants on Baozhu Street are picky about people.Now that the two young bosses came back to look for him, it must be because of lack of manpower that they couldn't wait. He wanted to do a good job in this business, and he put in a lot of effort before finally picking these two people out.

Not to mention that they all worked in the famous restaurant on Baozhu Street before, their craftsmanship alone is also very good, so Ren Yali picked and picked them, and kept the two of them.

The rest are naturally the servants of the Yang family who want to sign off the contract of sale.Renya Li is the best at this. Seeing the children standing neatly below him, he hurriedly smiled and said, "You two little brothers, the servants who go out from my old Li's hands are all top-notch, you just need to rest assured. Now These ten or so are the top of this batch, they are quick and well-behaved, how many do you two choose?"

When talking to Renya Li beforehand, Cheng Weizhe didn't tell him what he was buying the servants for, so Renya Li naturally came as usual.

However, it doesn't matter. Yang Zhongyuan looked at the ten-year-old children below and knew that they would come out and sell themselves as servants. Most of them were at home. He didn't want to embarrass them. Can you cook?"

Children from poor families can stand on a bench and cook porridge at the age of seven or eight. Even if the adults are away for a few days, they will not be hungry, but it is a bit difficult to talk about cooking.They are young, if they really do not have this talent, they will not be able to do this.

So, after waiting for a long time, only two teenagers in their twenties and thirties raised their hands timidly: "Return to the old man, I have learned it before."

Ren Ya Li Ji is a top-notch man. Seeing the two of them raising their hands, he squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then immediately remembered the origin of these two children: "Boss Xiao Yang, these two children have only been here for more than a month. , but the two of them are quite talented in cooking, and they have been working in the kitchen with my family's chef recently, they are quite smart and honest."

He didn't ask what the Yang family wanted to buy these children for, anyway, they were doing serious business, and Li Duan didn't know how to talk about people in bad places.Even if you are a human being, you must pay attention to your conscience. Finding a reliable home for these poor children is the best choice.

After hearing what he said, Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe didn't say anything else, and immediately paid the money to settle him down.

Ren Yali was very happy when he got the business, so he asked the two teenagers to go back quickly to get their luggage, and then followed Yang Zhongyuan and the others back.

When there were only three of them left in the main hall, Cheng Weizhe held his tea and stood up to pay respects to Ren Yali: "Boss Li, I'm bothering you again this time, thank you very much."

Ren Yali smiled and said: "You little brother, why are you being polite to me. You think highly of me, so I have to thank you."

Yang Zhongyuan also laughed: "At first we really couldn't find any manpower, we sat in the shop and waited every day, but we couldn't wait for someone useful, so we still had to find my brother, and it would be done soon."

Ren Ya Li Qianqian said: "Where is it, if you think the two master spoon masters are not good, then you don't want to stay. My brother will continue to pay attention to you in the future, and you will surely find good talents."

Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe thanked him again, and then got up to say goodbye.

The two newly signed apprentices were very fast, and within a few words, they were already waiting at the entrance of the main hall with the two second chefs.Ren Yali sent them all the way to the gate, and then turned to tell the two young apprentices: "Boss Yang and Boss Cheng are honest people, and they are kind to the servants. Remember to work hard and talk less when you come to the master's house." Do more, do you hear me?"

The two teenagers nodded quickly after hearing this, and replied in unison: "No."

This time, Yang Zhongyuan and the others came in a carriage, and now the business at home is no longer what it used to be, and they go out more often, so they specially bought a horse and a carriage, especially for traveling far away.Dian Xing is not a cart horse, but he can get along well with the newly bought pony, which is beyond their expectations.

The little pony has a docile temperament and a burgundy body. He is very stable when running a carriage, and has strength to pull a heavy cart.

Yang Zhongyuan liked it very much and named it Zaohong.

Their family's carriage was neither big nor small, but it couldn't seat six people, so Yang Zhongyuan ordered the two young apprentices to walk to Fumanlou, anyway, it wasn't too far away, and they could get there in three quarters.

After finishing the arrangements there, let the two second cooks get into the carriage first, and then they sat by the door, raised the curtain and said goodbye to Ren Yali.

Ren Ya Li had just instructed his apprentices, and turned around to talk to the two of them, but suddenly a man jumped out from the corner, grabbed Ren Ya Li's shoulders, and shouted: "Old Li, you have to help me this time." Me, Jinxiu Garden is going to cut off my life!!"

Seeing that there was an emergency at Li Yi's side, Cheng Weizhe and Yang Zhongyuan originally planned to leave, but they happened to hear the word "Splendid Garden". They looked at each other and told Li Yi not to move.

Ren Yali over there saw the person coming, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, Master Qian, I am paying attention to you, but you also know that after Boss Guan sent a message, many companies will no longer use you." .”

Hearing Boss Guan's three words, the money shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, what a bastard, he ruined the foundation left by his father. We old people who worked hard with the old boss have also been driven out." , and cut off our way of life, it’s really not a thing.”

Seeing that he was filled with righteous indignation again, Ren Yali yelled at Jinxiu Garden, and quickly covered his mouth with his hand, not telling him to continue: "My good brother, please stop saying a few words. It's just that your mouth is too unreasonable. Forgive me, he will do such a terrible thing. Even if you go back and say something soft, will you cut off the family's livelihood?"

When Shopkeeper Qian heard that Ren Yali told him to go back and beg for help, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "He deserves it too. Even if I starve to death, I won't go back and beg him!"

Renya Li really couldn't do anything about his temper, and he scolded directly after hearing this: "You sound nice, it doesn't matter if you starve to death, what about Brother Kun? What about your fat pier and monkey?"

After being scolded by him like this, Shopkeeper Qian fell silent immediately. He opened his mouth, but felt as if his throat was blocked by something. On one side was the family's livelihood, and on the other side was his only dignity left.

Because I knew him well, his husband worked hard outside from morning to night, but he, as a husband, couldn't find a job every day, so he had to cook and wash at home every day, which was impossible.

Shopkeeper Qian clenched his fists tightly, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "Old Li, I don't want to be the shopkeeper anymore. Whether it's a mistress or a helper, if someone wants me to be, I have to earn some money first."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Ren Yali didn't know what to say.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded from the side: "This big brother, is the treasurer of Jinxiu Garden?"

Shopkeeper Qian turned his head, and saw two young men in their twenties sitting in a carriage beside him, looking at him and smiling.

Of those two, one is handsome and extraordinary, the other is handsome and gentle, a rare good-looking.

Shopkeeper Qian couldn't help but replied: "Yes, no, I used to be, but now I'm not. Don't be afraid of your jokes, I don't have any errands to do now, and the family is getting more and more difficult."

In fact, he has been the shopkeeper for over ten years. The old boss Laoguan treated them very well and paid a lot of wages. He and his husband are very thrifty, so they have saved a lot of savings.But later his parents' son was praised by the old gentleman of the academy, saying that he was very talented in reading, so it was not a small expense to read it year after year.

It can be said that the son lived up to the hard work of the two fathers who worked hard for him. He was admitted as a scholar just after he tied his hair, and the whole family was very happy.

At this juncture, Boss Lao Guan passed away, and Boss Xiao Guan, who took over Jinxiu Garden, had long thought that these old people were not pleasing to the eye. rushed out.

Although shopkeeper Qian is a good shopkeeper and has a gentle and easy-going attitude towards customers, he actually has a bad temper in private.Boss Xiao Guan was so indiscriminate, he went straight to the door and scolded him, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't miss the old feelings at all, and said that his hands and feet were dirty during the guild, and now he couldn't find a job at all.

In the past few months, their family has been able to make ends meet with their previous savings, but the money is not sustainable, and there will always be a day when there will be nothing to eat.The husband understood his difficulties and took on an extra job, but he still couldn't continue to support his son who was studying.

Shopkeeper Qian really hated himself for opening his mouth sometimes, but Boss Guan was too mean, he couldn't bear this tone, and he felt really uncomfortable if he didn't scold him.

But life has to go on, so there is today's release.

Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe listened to Shopkeeper Qian's ins and outs with a flat face, and their hands hidden under their sleeves became warmer. They squeezed each other's hands and exchanged a knowing smile.

Cheng Weizhe cleared his throat, and said in a warm voice, "I wonder if shopkeeper Qian wants to be the shopkeeper at my house?"
