Xia Mingyue paused and said, "Ten taels of silver is indeed a bit too much. Master Zhou doesn't have to spend so much. He can just pay the ordinary cook's wages. But in my spare time, I want to study with my master or students and learn more." Please ask Mr. Zhou Shan to agree to some words.”
Now that you have arrived at the county school, you must seize the opportunity and learn this skill.
In this way, it will be very convenient in the future if you write any franchising documents, negotiate business with others, or even buy a few words for leisure and entertainment in your spare time.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhiqing nodded repeatedly, "Then it will be as Mrs. Xia said."
Although he is the head of the county school and his monthly salary is not small, he likes to read. , loves calligraphy and painting more, and spends a lot on these things on weekdays. Occasionally, he has to support students who are smart and studious but whose family background is really difficult. His money bag is really not full.
Ten taels of silver was the number he said through gritted teeth.
Now, Zhou Zhiqing is naturally happy to be able to help Xia Mingyue read and read in exchange for the ten taels of silver.
Although Xia Mingyue is a businessman, she also knows how to make progress through reading and the benefits of reading and literacy to the world. She is really a smart person with a long-term vision.
Zhou Zhiqing smiled all over his face, "When the time comes, I will personally teach Madam Xia how to read and practice calligraphy."
In this way, he would have enough opportunities to go to the small canteen frequently.
And he taught her wholeheartedly, and Lady Xia was grateful. She would probably open the small stove once or twice in private and cook some side dishes...
When Zhou Zhiqing thought of the beautiful life in the future, his whole body was filled with excitement. Feel refreshed.
Even when he left Xia Mingyue's home and headed all the way to the county school, he always had a big smile on his face.
This made Dai Changnian, who met Zhou Zhiqing at the county school, a little confused, "The mountain leader is so happy today. Could it be that the results of the autumn period have been released and the students have shined?"
Zhou Zhi Qing felt that he had lost his composure, and was afraid that Dai Changnian would see the clues, so he quickly suppressed his smile.
It's just that I couldn't suppress the raised corners of my mouth no matter what, so I had to lower my head slightly, "Qiu Wei hasn't released the results yet, but I see that the students are still studying hard at this time, and I feel very happy."
"Indeed." Dai Changnian nodded in approval.
Autumn has passed. Logically speaking, this is the time for students to relax and wait for the results to be released.
But the students in the entire county school are still immersed in studying day and night.
Asked why, the answers are different but the general idea is the same.
If I can be on the list this autumn, I need to prepare for next spring, so I can't slack off in reading.
And if you fail this time, you will have to study hard to prepare for the exam in the spring of next year.
What's more, reading is the best way to grow your mind, understand things, and open your horizons. Reading is beneficial to you at any time, and you can't let go of time.
Such a response was indeed enough to make Dai Changnian, a master, feel happy.
Dai Changnian also felt that the chief was probably happy because of this incident, so he stopped talking and just smiled and said, "The chief went out for a long time, and just now I heard from the boy that the chief was because of the incident in the canteen. Going out, but looking for a cook who can cook in the small canteen? ”
"Exactly."
When it comes to this matter, Zhou Zhiqing's mouth becomes more and more difficult to suppress, and he can only turn his face away slightly, "I have found a cook who suits my needs, and I can go to Xiaofan tomorrow. Let's do some work."
"That's good." Dai Changnian breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, although I saw that all the students were still studying hard, because they had to go out to eat three meals a day, the discipline was still much looser, which made Dai Changnian very worried.
I am worried that if this continues, the loose state will affect students' reading and learning. "I just don't know how good this cook is at cooking." Dai Changnian quickly frowned again.
“I personally selected it, which naturally makes people feel at ease.” Zhou Zhiqing said hurriedly, “I won’t say anything else, but the workmanship will definitely satisfy you.”
“But I suddenly remembered, I still have some things to deal with, Dave.”
After saying that, Zhou Zhiqing didn’t give Dai Changnian a chance to speak again, and after a brief gesture, he hurried to his yard.
Dai Changnian handed him off, and after a long time he stroked his beard, which had become sparse due to his busy schedule recently.
It is often said that a close friend is the hardest to find in the world, but God favored him very much and gave him many close friends.
For example, Master Shen and Master Zhou Shanchang are all people who can agree with him, which is really rare.
How rare...
Dai Changnian smiled knowingly and decided to tell all the students the good news that the canteen will be open again at noon tomorrow during class.
After hearing the news, all the students seemed to have nothing on their faces, but their hearts were like thousands of horses galloping, and they could not calm down for a long time.
I thought that during the absence of Chef Wei, they could all go out to find food at will and eat peacefully at Xia Ji's food stall for a while.
But now, but now...
Happy time is always too short.
It is regrettable and missed.
Many students discussed taking time to go to Xia Ji's tomorrow to buy more food.
Even if the county school doesn’t allow you to bring it in, you can eat as much as you want outside, and a noon is considered a noon!
Looking at everyone busy discussing tomorrow's matters, a student named Zhu Guangyuan turned a page of the book disapprovingly, and said quietly, "Have you ever thought about it, maybe this time Is the cook here better than Chef Wei?"
As soon as this was said, everyone was quiet for a while, and then burst into laughter.
“Brother Guangyuan, you don’t have to trust anyone, but you must believe in the opinions of Shan Zhang and Da Dai Zi.”
“Exactly, how could Shan Zhang and Da Da Zi look for A cook who cooks delicious food is here?”
"Don't worry, the sun still comes out from the east!"
"Look, you'd better go to bed early, you'll have everything in your dreams..."
Listening to the other seven Zhu Guangyuan reached out and rubbed his ears while talking nonsense, and his eyes blinked again and again.
Of course Shan Chang and Dave Zi are not looking for a cook who can cook delicious food, but Chef Wei's cooking skills are not good and the food he cooks is unpalatable. They want to find a chef who can cook better than Wei. I'm afraid it won't be easy even if you are a bad cook.
In short, the food is definitely not as good as Xia Ji's, but if we compare it vertically, it will probably taste better than Chef Wei's. Is that a good thing?
But now everyone doesn't seem to care about this and only compares the new cook with the outside world.
There is no comparison at all. How can people be so greedy?
Zhu Guangyuan raised his eyebrows, "How about we make a bet?"
"What to bet on?"
"Just bet that the new cook will be better at cooking. Chef Wei is delicious." Zhu Guangyuan said with a smile, "If you agree, write your name on this piece of paper, and if you don't agree, write your name on another piece of paper. No matter what the result is, those who lose must complete it. How about the winning side's copy?" (End of Chapter)
