Red apricots make spring

Chapter 175 Recruitment
Ruan Rou didn't know that they were going ahead, so Mo Wanjiang called a clerk to register the handbook she presented into the household registration. Coincidentally, this clerk was the one she hated so much. Xu Xiucai!
Xu Xiucai returned home after being humiliated at the Wen family, studied hard, and took the exam again. Unfortunately, he was very unlucky, and when he published the results, he failed the exam again. Eighteen generations of his ancestors scolded him all over, and left the capital in a fit of anger, wanting to seek a family background elsewhere.

He happened to be passing through Yunzhou, and heard that the magistrate Mo Wanjiang was recruiting clerks. He thought that if he could please the Zhifu, he might be promoted in the future and make a further step in his official career, so he relied on his good handwriting. Come to apply.

After all, he has been studying books for more than twenty years, and there is a bit of ink in his stomach. Mo Wanjiang saw that the handwriting he copied was clear and neat, and there were few mistakes. Even if he kept it, he would take him with him occasionally when he went out, so that it was convenient to record. business.

The clerk is just a low-level official, not even an official, but Xu Xiucai is proud of himself, thinking that the magistrate is favoring him, and if he works hard for a while, he may become the magistrate's confidant. So he had to be the top of everything he encountered, and was busy running around in front of Mo Wanjiang's eyes, so as to show his ability.

When others first saw his appearance of grabbing credit, they felt a little annoyed in their hearts. Then they saw that he was completely ignorant of human affairs, and his speech was not very appropriate. Offending the magistrate was kicked out of the government office, so he was not afraid that he would step on his own head and run amok in the future, so he was allowed to grab things to do, and was happy to be lazy for a while.

Originally, Mo Wanjiang just called a clerk at random, and didn't name anyone, but when Xu Xiucai was transcribing the document, he raised his eyes and glanced outside the curtain, just in time to see the door clerk leading Wenrou and Ye Yu to see Mo Wanjiang , I was extremely puzzled, and when I heard the call, I guessed that the matter had something to do with tenderness, so I rushed to go.

Unexpectedly, Mo Wanjiang didn't have any important matters for him to do, so he just handed him a piece of paper to make a book. Xu Xiucai glanced at the paper, and saw that the name of the person written on it was Wen Xin, and his heart ached. Doubts arose, and I really wanted to ask the magistrate, this Wen Xin was the woman in men's clothing who came here just now.

It's a pity that Mo Wanjiang didn't give him this chance at all, and he actually entered the second sect with his hands down. It's hard for him to catch up, so he had to suppress his doubts and do what Mo Wanjiang told him .

When Xu Xiucai took a pen to copy the household registration, he found that except for the difference in name and gentleness, there was not much difference in age and general appearance. He felt that something was a little strange, so he silently wrote down the address on the handbook. Prepare to find an opportunity to visit secretly.

Another five days passed in a blink of an eye, Ye Yu thought and thought during this period, and felt that he was really not interested in official career, and it would be better to learn some cooking skills from Ruan Rou, so he made another special visit to Mo Wanjiang, Declined his kindness, and when she came back, besides going out with Rourou to find a suitable shop, she stayed by her side to learn while she was cooking, but she also learned two dishes, and the taste was acceptable.

Ruan Rou has also gained something these days. He took a fancy to two shops in the downtown area, which happened to be not far away, so he planned to sell them together, but suffered from lack of manpower. Thinking of the Zhu Gui who talked in the restaurant last time, he seemed to be a He was a very clever person, so I went to the restaurant to find him again, treated him to a drink, and looked for an opportunity for him to introduce two honest and capable cooks.

Zhu Gui patted his chest as a guarantor, saying that the matter of finding the cook was on him.Wenrou doesn't trust him very much in her heart, but she is really unfamiliar with the place in Yunzhou, so she can only ask him to look for it first.Apart from a cook, a clerk is also indispensable to open a shop. She also found another matchmaker, explained her requirements for finding a clerk, and asked the matchmaker to bring him over as soon as she found a suitable candidate.

Two days later, Zhu Guixian gave Ruan a reply, and brought three honest-looking cooks to let her choose. Ruan Ruan, based on the principle of caution, first tested their cooking skills, and almost beat the ancestors of these three to ten. Eight generations have asked, and even went to their residence to inquire in person. After the interview was confirmed, they planned to hire two of them, but they were also required to sign a contract stating that the cooking skills they learned should not be passed on to others. , Within three years, he must not resign from his job. If he violates the contract, he will be fined 50 taels of silver.

Rourou knows that if a horse is to run well, it has to be given grass to eat. She doesn't want the cooks she trains to be passive and sabotage, or to be poached, so the wages paid are very low. Fenghou also said that if he does well in the future, there will be extra rewards.

The breadwinners don't want to be rich and powerful, but only to be safe. When the two cooks heard that they were treated so well, they wished they could keep doing it for a long time!Without further ado, I invited Lizheng, who lives nearby, to be a middleman, and signed the contract.

Zhu Gui looked straight from the sidelines, envious and jealous in his heart, secretly hated why he didn't learn cooking at the beginning, otherwise such a good thing, how could he get these two cooks?He secretly planned in his heart that when he went out, he must teach them to spend some money to buy wine and eat.

Coincidentally, at this time, the matchmaker brought four men who were about seventeen or eighteen years old to come to Rourou to pick him up. Zhu Gui couldn't move when he heard that, and asked anxiously, "Do you still want to hire a man?"

Gentle glanced at him, smiled slightly and said, "Yes!"

"How about... how about asking me?" Zhu Gui is quite a man in this city of Yunzhou. He has inquired about all restaurants, big and small. Sell ​​some wine and fruit snacks, exchange two money to make ends meet, but now seeing Ruan Rou seems to be very generous, so I can't help thinking of becoming a buddy.

"You?" Gentlely smiled and shook his head, "I can't afford it!"

"I don't want much wages." Zhu Gui looked at her pitifully.

Rou Rou pondered for a while and said: "Then you listen to it first, and then talk later."

As she said that, she questioned the four guys again as usual, Zhu Gui did all the errands and inquiries this time, and finally selected two people, and gently compared them with the practice when opening a shop in Taihe City. After reporting the salary, he glanced at Zhu Gui again and asked him, "I can only give the guy this salary, and within the first three months of probation, I can only get half of it. Do you want to do it?"

"Do it!" Zhu Gui nodded immediately. Such wages are already higher than other places. The most important thing for him is stability, so he doesn't have to worry about being hungry when the business is not good.

Ruan felt that this man was very smart, and he knew many people in this city. He would be needed in many places in the future. Seeing that he was willing to do it, he naturally had no objection, so he invited Lizheng to be a middleman and signed a contract with them Book.

With manpower, Wen Rou taught them for a few days, and then rushed to push down the two shopfronts they were looking for.In the small shop, she sells exquisite Cantonese-style snacks, crystal shrimp dumplings, honey sauce pork buns, dry steamed siu mai and various porridge.As for the big shop, she only sells some wine and rice, so she can accumulate some experience in running a restaurant, but she only plans to pick four or five dishes that are not available here as the restaurant's signature dishes, and the rest of the dishes are what the cook would have known. Just do it, not only can you save a lot of effort, but it won't be too different and attract attention.

Mother Wen and the others haven't come back yet. After all, they are short of manpower. In the next five days, just preparing for the opening of the shop, shopping, and teaching the cooks and waiters, Wen Rou is so tired that she is about to lie down. She was busy outside until it was dark. Just gritted their teeth together with Ye Yu and went home. As soon as they turned into the alley, they saw several people standing in front of the door. Before they could take a closer look, two people flew towards her, one grabbed her arm, one took her hand, and they all called happily: "Sister."

"You—" Wenrou was surprised, and found that these two people were Wen Gang and Xiaohuan, she was relieved, and said with a smile: "Finally here."

After parting for more than half a month, Rourou wondered every day whether Lu Ce could handle it after she faked death and left, and whether there was any accident. At this time, she saw Mother Wen, Sister Liu and Yun Dan standing in the distance and watching She smiled, and looked at Wen Gang and Xiaohuan's joyful expressions, knowing that the matter should be handled properly, she finally let go of half of her heart, and temporarily suppressed the questions she was full of, and called everyone to come in to rest and talk.
