Chapter 37 Old Problems
"I can rest assured that you will do things." Xia Mingyue said with a smile.
No matter where the black vegetables come from, as long as the quality of the black vegetables is not bad, there is no problem. Jiangzhuguo can sell them all as his own black vegetables without mentioning the reason, but But she still chose to explain the situation.
Furthermore, Jiang Zhuguo already knew that her black vegetable meat pie for takeout was very popular and she made quite a lot of money, but she never mentioned whether the price of black vegetables could increase.
Obviously he is honest, loyal and reliable.
Xia Mingyue is really at ease with such a person.
Jiang Zhuguo was a little embarrassed to receive the compliment, "Thank you, Sister Xia."
"It's almost noon, let's have a bowl of wontons before leaving." Xia Mingyue greeted warmly.
"No, no." Jiang Zhuguo waved his hands repeatedly, "Sister Xia means well, but I have to go to Qingfeng Tea House to see shopkeeper Yuan right now. It would be bad if I'm late."
"Why are you going to see shopkeeper Yuan?" Lu interrupted.
"My family has little land, and I usually don't have much work to do. Now that I'm older and the weather is warmer, I want to find a job in the county town so I can earn some money to support my family."
Jiang Zhuguo answered truthfully, "I was introduced earlier that the Qingfeng Tea House wanted to find a tea bowl washboy. The work is not heavy and the pay is good. I am of the right age, so I thought of giving it a try."
< br>When Mrs. Lu heard this, her face suddenly darkened, and she pulled Jiang Zhuguo aside, "Good boy, listen to my sister-in-law, don't go there to work."
"Why?" Jiang Zhuguo The result was surprising.
Even Xia Mingyue is a little curious.
"This..." Mrs. Lu looked around and saw that the customers at the wonton stall were all concentrating on eating the delicious wontons, so she lowered her voice, "Outsiders probably don't know about this, but I have heard it said by others. He said that shopkeeper Yuan liked young girls the most. He had hired two of them in the name of recruiting workers. After something happened, his family came to visit him, but shopkeeper Yuan refused to admit it. He only said that it was the little girl who seduced him. He wanted to come here to be a concubine."
"Those two girls were young and fearful. They were often coaxed and frightened by shopkeeper Yuan, and they even accepted his money, which made this happen. In the end, it was unclear. The county government had no way to punish Shopkeeper Yuan. In the end, it could only let Shopkeeper Yuan pay a sum of money and settle the matter."
"I heard that these two little girls were taken away. After returning home, one was disliked by her clan members and the family leader had to take her away from home and moved far away. Another one even ignored her family and finally died by throwing herself into a well."
" After this incident, the man surnamed Yuan stayed away for a long time. They all felt that he had lost face. The wife at home also had a scene and should be taught a lesson. Who would have thought that not long after this, the old habit would happen again! "
"Good boy, listen to what my sister-in-law says, that place is not a clean place. No matter how much you pay, you must not go there. "
Jiang Zhuguo is thirteen years old this year. Although he still doesn't know anything about men and women, the children of poor people have long been in charge of their families. They are usually treated as adults in the village. After all, they have heard about some things.
When he heard what Lu said, his face suddenly turned pale, "Is there such a thing? Then I won't go or work there."
Jiang The clan rules in her village are very strict. If her reputation is damaged, she will be expelled from the village.
My mother’s health is not good to begin with, and she will definitely die of grief when the time comes.
What's more, her father is a man of status, and his reaction will be even more intense than that of the village. He might not want the two of them in the name of Nianjiao teaching her bad things.
Jiang Zhuguo immediately gave up the idea of going to Qingfeng Tea House to see shopkeeper Yuan, but then she became a little distressed. Her family was really short of money...
Xia Mingyue's mind moved, "Zhuguo wants to find A job?"
"Yes." Jiang Zhuguo nodded repeatedly.
"How about you come and work at my place?" Xia Mingyue said, "You have also seen that I sell cakes and wontons here, and I want to sell some food later. We are really busy. I have been thinking about hiring someone to do the work for the past two days, but you happen to be looking for work, so I might as well hire you. "There is nothing more satisfying than having someone give you a pillow when you are dozing off.
In particular, Jiang Zhuguo has an honest nature. Although her clothes are shabby, they are clean. She is obviously a diligent little girl who loves to keep her hands and feet clean.
According to a woman’s intuition, Xia Mingyue felt that there was absolutely nothing wrong with hiring Jiang Zhuguo.
“Really?” Jiang Zhuguo’s eyes suddenly lit up like stars at night, “Sister Xia, are you willing to hire me to work?”
I thought I couldn’t find any work to do. , never thought that I would find a job again so quickly, or here with Sister Xia, who is good-looking, speaks kindly, treats her very kindly, and makes delicious cakes?
Jiang Zhuguo was in a very excited mood, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke, but he did not forget to express his position, "Sister Xia, don't worry, I will work hard and work hard."
No, just talking is not enough, you have to start working now.
After rolling up his sleeves, Jiang Zhuguo gathered the firewood next to him and helped Xia Mingyue add fire to the big stove. Then he saw a guest coming and greeted him warmly.
“Let’s have a bowl of wontons. The skin is thin and the fillings are big. Do you want a big bowl or a small bowl?”
The visitor saw that Jiang Zhuguo spoke warmly and had a pleasant voice, so he I found an open space and sat down, and ordered a large bowl of wontons.
When Xia Mingyue saw this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Instead of asking if you want a bowl, ask directly whether you want a big bowl or a small bowl.
Most people will be defensive when facing sellers, but when faced with two choices, people will subconsciously choose one, so if asked like the former, they will say no. When the latter asked that question, he would choose a small bowl.
Different questions lead to completely different results.
Obviously, Jiang Zhuguo is a good businessman.
Being able to do business requires either intelligence or talent. No matter which one it is, Jiang Zhuguo will be her right-hand man.
It looks like I've found another treasure.
Xia Mingyue narrowed her eyes with a smile.
The busy business today also confirmed Xia Mingyue's conjecture.
Jiang Zhuguo knows how to greet guests and is very agile with his hands and feet.
Stoking the fire, scooping wontons, serving bowls, closing the table, washing bowls and spoons...
Although she looks thin and small, she does as much work as Xia Mingyue and Lu Shi. She even moved the bench when closing the stall at the end, showing even greater strength than Xia Mingyue.
Even Mrs. Lu couldn't help but sigh, "You look like a little skinny monkey, you are really strong."
"I work a lot at home, and all the wheat at home is mine." I carried all the water bottles back home, and I was full of strength." As Jiang Zhuguo spoke, he easily carried the pile of bowls onto the flatbed truck.
“This child.” Lu’s face was filled with a doting smile.
The smile completely dissipated when he saw Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu on the side.
