Bai Shu met with seven or eight cooks in a row, and the time came to Shen Shi.

Seeing that there was no hope of finding a suitable candidate today, he greeted the person and asked him to keep an eye on him, then got up and left.

Bai Zhu came early in the morning and was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat lunch.

His stomach growled twice in protest of his hunger.Bai Shu was not in a hurry to go back, but turned around and went to Laifulou, and first ate something to fill his stomach.

Shopkeeper Yan of Laifulou is a person who knows how to come. Now when he saw Bai Shu coming here, he immediately greeted him from a distance, with a very friendly attitude.

Since Xie Huaiyu left last time, he hasn't seen Bai Shu for several months.At this moment, when I saw it again, I felt that Bai Shu's whole person's feeling seemed to have changed a lot.

He still vaguely remembered the appearance of little brother Bai when he first came. He was black and thin, dressed in rags, with only a pair of bright eyes.

But when I saw him again now, little brother Bai was wearing fine cloth clothes, and his figure was tall and straight.His face is plump, and although his complexion is still not fairer than those of the nobles, he is healthy and good-looking, and his whole body exudes a strong vitality.

"Shopkeeper Yan." Bai Shu greeted him, sat down and said, "Here comes a steamed stuffed bun and a bowl of beef noodles."

"Come right away." Shopkeeper Yan turned around and ordered the kitchen to do it.In just a moment, Bai Zhu's buns and beef noodles were on the table.

Shopkeeper Yan personally brought the table for him, sat down in front of Bai Shu and said, "Brother Bai, long time no see. I wonder what you are doing in the county today?"

"Hi." Hearing his question, Bai Shu slapped his thigh and said, "The Zhuangzi in my village needs to find a suitable cook for opening. But today I found a middleman in the county and asked a lot, but there was no one. suitable."

When Shopkeeper Yan heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Bai, for the matter of finding cooks, you might as well find me if you go to someone else. I'm in the business of this restaurant, so I'm somewhat a little bit ignorant of these cooks." I understand. Why don't you tell me about your request, and I'll help you find out?"

When Bai Shu heard it, he thought it was the same reason.It's always better to have an extra road, if he can't find it anymore, he will go to Fucheng to find it.

"My villa now needs a cook to cook meals for the guests. The cook must be reliable and the cooking skills must be exquisite. Because all the guests in my village are distinguished guests, those who just cook casually, and those who are proficient in cooking are not good enough. Yes." Bai Shu said: "Besides, I have just opened my business now, and there are not many customers, so the wages I pay will not be too much. I have already inquired. Most of the wages of the restaurant cooks in the town are five taels per month. Yin, because of the easy work here, I can only cover accommodation and pay three taels of silver every month at first. When there are more guests, the wages will be raised. I don’t know if there is a suitable candidate.”

After hearing this, shopkeeper Yan had a plan in his heart.

The requirements of Baishu are not low, and the price is not high, so it is difficult to find a suitable one from Zhongren.But those people didn't know that he had the backing of Master Xie's family behind him.

With Xie Huaiyu behind him, how can you be afraid that the villa will not be opened?

It was only a matter of time before the salary increase, so he immediately said to Bai Shu: "Brother Bai, it is right for you to come to me this time. I have a few suitable candidates here. If you trust me, I will do it today." Go back first, and tomorrow I will let that person come to find you by himself."

Bai Shu was also very happy when he heard that.Shopkeeper Yan is very experienced and trustworthy.The person he introduced must be more suitable than the one introduced by that person.

So he finished his meal and left first, only waiting for the chef introduced by shopkeeper Yan to come to his door.

Besides, shopkeeper Yan went to the chef in the kitchen and asked, "The other day you said that you had a relative who wanted to find a job as a cook. Ask him to come and have a look. I will introduce him to you." a job."

After hearing this, the chef immediately went to the door to find a boy, gave him a steamed stuffed bun, and asked him to find a cook named Huang in the east alley.

That cook Huang used to work in a wealthy family's home in the capital, and his craftsmanship was also very good, but the master's house was suddenly raided, and the migrant workers were also kicked out.

Originally, with his cooking skills, it would be easy to find another job in the capital, but maybe it was a taboo of a big family, and no matter how good the skills were, they would not hire the cooks of this guilty minister's family.

In a fit of anger, Cook Huang left the capital and came to join his relative who worked in Laifulou.

However, this Lai Fu Lou is only in the county town after all, and its size is not large. With a chef and two helpers, the manpower is enough, and no more people can be recruited.

That cook Huang was already planning to leave, and then went to look elsewhere, but suddenly received a message that the shopkeeper of Laifulou would introduce him to work.

He came to Laifulou in a hurry and chatted with shopkeeper Yan, only to realize that it was not Laifulou who wanted to recruit people, but an unknown village villager who wanted to recruit a cook, and the salary he paid was not too high.

Chef Huang looked a little ugly at the moment.When he was cooking for a big family in that capital, because of the high authority of the party, he had at least twelve months of silver in a month.

After coming to this county, the price of goods has dropped a lot, and the wages are naturally not as good as before.But most of the chefs in restaurants are paid five or two months a month.

Now the shopkeeper Yan actually asked him to go to a village in the countryside, where he only got three taels a month.

Although the owner said that the money will increase when the business is good in the future, but a farmer in the countryside, who knows when the business will be good?This increase in money probably meant that it would be impossible to make a big deal with him.

Shopkeeper Yan is a fine person, just by looking at the look of that cook Huang, one can tell that he must despise this job.

But if he can agree to Bai Shu, he has the ability to persuade the other party.So he listed the benefits of this job one by one to the yellow cook.

It was not until the end that he said: "I have told you so much, so I might as well tell you quietly. That country village is not ordinary, behind it, there must be our shares in Laifulou's owner. Our owner has been in business for many years, and our business spreads all over the country. He has never done a loss-making business. Since he is optimistic about this Zhuangzi, this Zhuangzi must be good. Now you take this opportunity to get this job, let the boss remember your goodness, and when he becomes prosperous in the future, he will never forget you. "

Hearing this, Chef Huang was a little moved.

Laifulou's reputation is indeed great, otherwise he would not have come all the way to join this relative who works in Laifulou.

After thinking for a while, Chef Huang agreed, and said to shopkeeper Yan, "Thank you for the recommendation."

Shopkeeper Yan laughed, knowing that it was settled, so he said, "That's very good, come back at Mao tomorrow morning, and I'll send a car to take you there.

Early the next morning, Cook Huang packed a cloth bag and went to Baitang Village in a carriage.

When he first entered Baitang Village, he still had some regrets, wondering whether he should agree to the shopkeeper Yan's rhetoric or not.

But as the carriage moved forward, he could see a red leaf in the distance.

Surrounded by white walls and black tiles, the scenery is very magnificent, which he has never seen along the way.

As the carriage drove, Cook Huang's carriage curtain had never been lowered.He didn't get out of the car until the car stopped at the gate of Baiyu Villa, looked up at the plaque on the lintel, and was extremely shocked.

Let's talk about the lintel of the Baiyu Villa first, it is extremely tall.

The stone steps at the door are made of black stone, with white marble columns on both sides, more than one foot high.

There is no pattern of carved beams and painted buildings on the lintel, only a plaque hanging in the middle, with the four big characters of Baiyu Villa.

Moreover, the building is tall and wide, and there are lush trees on both sides, which is quite elegant.

Chef Huang pushed the door open carefully and entered, only to find that the garden was not yellow land, but a wide road paved with cobblestones.

On both sides of the road, there are also trees of various colors.It is autumn now, and there are many maple leaves on both sides, and the red ones are very beautiful.

He didn't take a few steps when he saw a person walking in front of him.

This man is a tall man, wearing a blue cloth dress with a wide border. When he saw him, he asked, "You were introduced by shopkeeper Yan. My surname is Chen, and I'm here...in charge...in charge." ...you come in with me first."

The person who came was Chen Dongqing, yesterday Bai Shu said that he would be promoted to be the steward of this Baiyu Villa.

Chen Dongqing had never done such an important job, and when he was appointed by Bai Shu, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was not light. Today, when he heard that a cook was coming to apply for the job, he waited early near the gate.

Chen Dongqing led Cook Huang along the pebble road.These roads were quite wide at the beginning, but gradually divided into many small fork roads at the end, drilling among the flowers.

After Huang Chezi walked for a while, he saw small bridges, ponds, small rivers, and small pavilions scattered all over the garden.

When he was in Beijing in the past, the gardens of the officials' homes were also very exquisite, but compared with this Baiyu Villa, it was completely different.

This Baiyu Villa is a natural formation, facing the river in the south, leaning on the hills in the north, and is located in the countryside.

Walking on the small bridge and looking south, you can see a small river winding to the river bed in the distance, and you can also see people washing and farming on the bank, which is another pleasure.

And when he was about to reach the house, he saw a few sika deer jumping on the slope of the back mountain. As soon as they saw Chen Dongqing, they ran towards him, barely blocked by the fence under the hillside.

Under the astonished gaze of Cook Huang, Chen Dongqing grabbed a handful of weeds, fed them to the sika deer, patted their foreheads, and said, "Let's go, let's go in."

When he walked into the hall, he saw a tall figure with a thin blue cloth, standing in front of the window overlooking the shore.

Hearing footsteps, he turned his head, smiled at them and said, "Brother Dongqing, you brought someone here."

There is an indistinct red mole in the middle of his forehead, but he is obviously a brother.

Chen Dongqing then said to Cook Huang: "This is Baishu, and he is also the owner of this villa. Go and meet him first."

Chef Huang heard a lot from shopkeeper Yan yesterday. He only knew that the owner of Laifulou bought shares in this village, but he didn't expect that the owner of the villa was actually a brother, so he felt a little worried.

Such a large mountain villa is indeed excellent, but if it is handed over to such a brother to take care of it, can it be managed well?

He looked at Bai Shu in great surprise, only felt that this guy was only eighteen or nineteen years old, he looked very young, and he must have no experience in running a villa.

It would be a sin to ruin such a good village because of this.
