Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 352
Aunt Li also knew about Li Zhu's gift.Now that the husband and wife can be regarded as experienced people, they discussed whether to send more gifts to Xinzhi County.

When Li Zhu heard this, he said: "In my opinion, don't give it away. Even the ones I gave away were not in his name. Given his background, he doesn't care about the three walnuts and two dates. If there are too many, we will give them away too." I'm sorry. I just want to remind him not to forget us. It's easy to deal with things."

It's strange to say that when the county magistrate was in office, Li Zhu never thought of him bribing him, and she had a deep dislike for that kind of person.However, according to Bai Jin's virtue, even a gift is useless. After all, the Wu family is a tyrant in the county. How could he offend Wu Chengming for a poor commoner?

If it was Chen Jin, Li Zhu didn't feel bad even if he gave gifts. He was a bit self-righteous and had a cleanliness habit, but to be honest, he was a good official.This cannot be erased.

The business of the Yang family restaurant is getting more and more prosperous, and every lunch time is full of seats.Some people came late and had to wait in line, so some regular customers suggested to Aunt Li to expand the store.Aunt Li smiled and said, "Thank you for the brother's suggestion. I will discuss with our head to see if we can connect the second floor."

"That's a good idea. Many shops on this street have two floors."

Yang's restaurant made a comeback, which naturally attracted the attention of the neighbors.Especially those competitors.Restaurants like Wu's Restaurant and Ruyilou.

The Wu family restaurant had a new shopkeeper, surnamed Jin, who was said to be the cousin of Wu Chengming's wife.Li Zhu had never seen this person surnamed Jin, but he heard people say that he was not much better than Shopkeeper Sun.Li Zhu was overshadowed by what happened last time.This time, I remind Aunt Li to be careful. The couple also have experience, and they check carefully every day to keep the store clean. The food is reasonably priced and the taste is pure.Xiaoer treats people kindly and doesn't judge people by appearance.People can't find anything wrong with it.

The Yang family restaurant was open continuously, and many beggars gathered at the gate of the restaurant, waiting for leftovers.This time is not like modern times. Most of the guests cherish the food very much and generally eat it very cleanly. With soup, it can also be brought home with wooden barrels to feed pigs.However, Aunt Li first felt pity for these poor people, and second, she was grateful for the beggars who helped put out the fire, so she tried to give them leftovers as much as possible.However, there are more people and less food, so it can only be served on a first-come, first-served basis.Therefore, there are usually two wonders at the entrance of Yangjia Restaurant, one is people queuing up to eat.The second is to line up to beg for food.

It is a good thing that the business of the restaurant is booming, but there is also the trouble of insufficient manpower.Because Yang Yun got married, the family lacked a housekeeper, and Aunt Li's family couldn't live without a housekeeper.Although Li Zhu and his neighbors can help watch for a few days, it is not a long-term matter after all.

Li Zhu suggested that Auntie hire another accountant to collect and keep accounts.Of course, you need to find a reliable one.

Not long after the news about the accounting office was released, someone came to ask.This person is not someone else, but Zhang Wen, an acquaintance.

Li Zhu heard from Yang Mo that Zhang Wen had never been a scholar, and he was just a boy now.I heard that he is tutoring a family's children.

"Auntie, I heard that your family is recruiting accountants, so I have the cheek to ask." Zhang Wen said.

Aunt Li exchanged pleasantries with him and then asked him why he was not a teacher. After all, teaching is more respectable than the accountant.

Zhang Wen smiled wryly: "The children of that family are not suitable for studying, and they kept making trouble with me. I said I could not discipline them, and told his family that his parents complained that I was not capable of teaching their children. So I resigned. There are still old people in the family. Mother and two children to support."
