Chapter 93
Chapter 92: Prepare a couple.
When Luo Jianjia woke up the next day, Chu Wei Leng had already left.
Opening her eyes and looking around, she was still in the same position as before going to bed last night, not close to Chu Wei Leng’s side.
But somehow she always felt like she fell asleep with something in her arms last night.
Touched the bed next to it, it was indeed a bit cold.
Maybe it’s her illusion?
Listening to Zhao’s voice coming from outside, Luo Jianjia didn’t worry too much about this matter anymore, and got up to wash.
At breakfast, Luo Jianjia mentioned to Boss Chu and Zhao what Chu Wei Leng told her last night.
Upon hearing this, the first reaction of Boss Chu and Zhao was to disagree.
“Why do we have to hire people? The three of us don’t need to hire people. It’s not like going to two places to sell food like in my hometown. Now we only need to go to one place. Three people are enough.” Zhao said.
Luo Jianjia said: “Mother, we can also relax by hiring a few more people.”
Chu Lao Dadao: “My wife and I are in good health. Didn’t we go to check before? The doctor also said that we are in good health and are stronger than ordinary people.”
Zhao said: “Your father is right, we are in good health. Shouldn’t we have to pay for hiring someone? What are we doing with the wronged money?”
Luo Jianjia had long expected that the two of them would be like this, and had already thought about it: “Daddy, although we are in the same place, three people are really not enough. The traffic in the city is larger, the guests are more, and the manpower needed is more. In the past. There are only three or four tables at the pier. This time there are eight tables in the house, and one person is too busy to work. Moreover, there are many people, and there are many bamboo sticks and food. This requires two or three people… …”
Luo Jianjia carefully analyzed with Boss Chu and Zhao.
The two believed in Luo Jianjia very much, and after listening to her, they were quickly persuaded.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect this. There are indeed more people here than the dock.” Zhao said.
“Well, there were a lot of people in the bun shop before. Seeing that there were only two or three people who were busy in the front, this is not the next one.” Chu Boss also said.
Hearing what Zhao and Boss had said, Luo Jianjia knew that they had agreed, so he didn’t say any more.
After the meal, Luo Jianjia and the others went to the shop. As soon as they arrived there, someone looked for it.
The person here is a couple.
The woman looked okay, but the man was different from what she had imagined. His legs were a little lame, and he walked higher and lower.
Although Boss Chu and Zhao are kind-hearted people, if they open the door to do business and find someone to help in the store, they naturally don’t want to use such a person.
Although Luo Jianjia was surprised, he never thought of not using him.
Out of trust in Chu Weileng and the temperament around this man, Luo Jianjia felt that he was not an ordinary person.
They don’t need to run errands very much in business here.
Luo Jianjia looked at the nervousness of the two in front of him. He neither said to use them or not to use them, but to do business in an official manner, and said, “Try some work first.”
“Father, you lead Uncle Yuan to try to make a table. Auntie come with me.”
Boss Chu collected his thoughts and led the man to the back yard.
Luo Jianjia gave the rag to the woman and asked her to wipe the doors and windows.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law had arranged it, Zhao pulled her aside, and whispered, “Jianjia, is it inappropriate for the man?”
Luo Jianjia also whispered: “Mother, we are recruiting people to make bamboo sticks, and we don’t have to walk. Moreover, the person was introduced by the Xianggong, so it must be indispensable.”
Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Zhao was silent.
Also, my son has always been reliable, and the person who introduced him will certainly not be too bad.
“Why don’t we go and see how he is doing?” Luo Jianjia said.
“Alright.” Zhao readily agreed.
The person Chu Wei Leng found was really good, the woman was very agile in her work, not the one who was lazy and slippery.
Luo Jianjia and Zhao are very satisfied.
After seeing this person, the two went to the backyard.
Once in the backyard, seeing Boss Chu and the man had a very happy conversation, the two discussed the size of the table together.
Seeing them coming, Mr. Chu nodded at them with a big smile.
Seeing the look on Boss Chu’s face, Luo Jianjia knew that this was done.
Afterwards, she and Zhao stood by to watch them work.
After watching for a while, he walked away silently.
Zhao said in a low voice: “I didn’t expect to work quite neatly, better than your father.”
Zhao said that, but Luo Jianjia couldn’t say it. She said: “The vision of Xianggong is indeed not bad.”
Now that he decided to use them, Luo Jianjia called the two of them together and said some precautions, as well as the things that need to be done at present.
As for the wages issue, because these two were introduced by Chu Weileng, Luo Jianjia didn’t say anything directly.
She thought, after she went back, she discussed it with Chu Wei Leng.
With the help of these two people, things were done much faster.
When it was getting dark, the two went back.
When he got home, at the dinner table, Chu Wei asked the couple about the situation.
Boss Chu and Zhao are full of praise.
Chu Weilian looked at Luo Jianjia.
Luo Jianjia glanced at him and said, “These two uncles and aunts have done a very good job. You can stay.”
Chu Wei said coldly: “Yeah.”
Thinking of the Uncle Yuan he saw in the daytime, Luo Jianjia asked more: “That Uncle Yuan had been on the battlefield before?”
Chu Weilian didn’t expect Luo Jianjia to find out so soon, so he glanced at her.
Boss Chu and Zhao didn’t realize this, they looked at each other.
“Have you really been on the battlefield? Is it possible that his leg was injured on the battlefield?” Zhao asked.
Chu Wei nodded coldly and said, “Exactly. Uncle Yuan went to the battlefield twenty years ago and was trampled on his leg by an enemy cavalry. It is precisely because of this that he escaped.”
In that battle, almost the entire army was wiped out.
Both Boss Chu and Zhao cried a little bit sorrowful.
“Does he have children in his family?” Luo Jianjia asked.
“No, Yuan Shu’s son also died on the battlefield four years ago.” Chu Wei said coldly.
What he didn’t say was that he died beside him.
That was also the first time he faced death.
Four years ago… Isn’t this the time when Chu Wei Leng came to the border?
Thinking of this, Luo Jianjia’s chopsticks stopped and looked up at him.
For some reason, at this moment, Luo Jianjia suddenly saw the cruelty and coldness of the war on Chu Weilen’s face.
That written in the book, the war far away from her is also much closer.
“How much does Xiang Gong think is more appropriate?” Luo Jianjia asked softly.
Chu Wei Leng withdrew his **** from the past and said: “The lady is just looking for it.”
After finishing speaking, he added: “It’s just that Uncle Yuan and aunt are now childless, and Uncle Yuan’s foot is injured again. Since the son is gone, the aunt has become worse and worse. If you can take care of more, you can take care of more.”
“Good.” Luo Jianjia agreed.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Jianjia asked, “Where do they live now?”
“Living in Yuanjia Village.”
“How far is it from the city?”
“It’s about a dozen miles, it’s about the same as when we go to the county seat.”
Hearing Chu Weileng’s answer, Luo Jianjia became more sure that Yuan Shu’s dead son knew Chu Weileng.
Because, if he didn’t know him, Chu Weilian wouldn’t know so much detail. It is estimated that he has not been to the Yuan family less in the past few years.
It takes more than half an hour to walk for more than a dozen miles.
Get up early in the morning.
After they opened, they would sell food at night, and the city gate would be closed long ago when they sold out.
“Our shop hasn’t opened yet, there is nothing in it, but we will definitely put some valuable things in the future. Or else, let Uncle Yuan and Auntie live in the back yard, and we will cover all meals.”
“According to the market, women touch about three hundred wen in a month and men 500 wen. If they show us the yard, we will give more, 400 wen for the body, 600 wen for the body, and 600 wen for the body, and one month is counted. It’s a couple of silvers down.”
“How does Xiang Gong feel?”
Chu Wei Leng looked at Luo Jianjia.
She is still as considerate as ever, even if she is taking care of others, she also speaks the reason in a high-sounding manner, which makes people feel that they are not taken care of, but deserved.
Obviously provided them with board and lodging and provided them with convenience, but said that they are needed by their own side, and they have to pay more.
“Thank you lady.” Chu Wei said coldly.
Luo Jianjia said: “My husband is polite.”
It’s okay when Boss Chu and Zhao didn’t know about these two people. Once they knew, they felt compassion.
Moreover, his son was also on the battlefield, so he felt that he was much closer to the two of them.
“Brother Leng, you have to be careful about everything on the battlefield. It’s important to save your life.” Zhao said.
She is a woman with little knowledge. She only hopes that her son can live and live well.
“Don’t worry, my son will be cautious.” Chu Wei said coldly.
Luo Jianjia thought, Chu Weilian is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and fear of death. If that day comes, with his character, he would definitely want a shroud of horse leather.
Be cautious or something, it doesn’t exist.
This topic was too heavy, and after everyone said a few words, Chu Weileng changed the topic.
Early the next morning, Luo Jianjia informed Yuan Shu and Aunt Li of yesterday’s decision.
The two were very moved and quickly thanked them.
They have no children now, and they live the same everywhere. It is naturally great to live in the city without running around every day.
Because of Uncle Yuan’s lame leg, it was difficult to find a job. She was not the strong woman inside, and couldn’t do heavy work, and it was also very difficult to find.
They live on some food in the ground and the little pension given by the court every day. Life is very difficult.
Now it is a blessing to have a place to stay and fill your stomach.
What’s more, there is still wages.
After a few days of this, the shop was gradually cleaned up, and with the help of Uncle Yuan, the tables, chairs and benches were almost ready.
And that batch of bamboo was also transported from the south.
With the bamboo, Luo Jianjia found a new problem.
How to make this bamboo stick?
When Wang Qingjue came to eat at home before, he used few bamboo sticks. Several of them worked for a few days to polish the bamboo sticks.
But nowadays, there are definitely no fewer bamboo sticks that you need to use every day.
And the bamboo sticks certainly cannot be reused every day, they have to be replaced frequently.
Moreover, the bamboo sticks are not cut and finished, they have to be polished, otherwise, the guests will scratch their mouths when they eat them.
If it can be a machine, it would be fine for automated production and polishing.
Luo Jianjia looked at Boss Chu and Uncle Yuan who were making bamboo sticks in the yard, and fell into deep thought.
