Chapter 248 Chapter 248: Looking for a job

"Ahem! I'll take Xiao Hei for a walk over there!" Xu Dajun was so winking that he didn't stay to be a light bulb and quickly led Xiao Hei away. He also didn't forget to wink at Xi Xin who was standing there in a daze and wink at her.

Also taken away.

Only Xu Yinyin and Fang Congyun were left in the pavilion.

Fang Congyun took out an oil paper bag from his sleeve and placed it in front of Xu Yinyin, "Chen Ji just baked the sour apricot cake. It tastes great. Try it."

Xu Yinyin took a piece and tasted it, and praised it without hesitation, "Well, it's not bad."

Fang Congyun felt happy in his heart. Miss Xu really liked eating sour food. He remembered that there were several plum trees in Zhuangzi, and the plums were ripe with a hint of sourness. He thought Miss Xu would like it, so he remembered to let her eat it later.

The steward will pick more and send them over.

"It's the ten-day holiday tomorrow and we're going to Daqing Mountain for spring hunting. Miss Xu, do you want to go on a spring outing together?"

Xu Yinyin shook her head, "I won't go. I have something to do tomorrow. The loquats are out. I plan to buy some to make loquat sauce so that I can make soda for sale in the shop."

Fang Congyun heard Xu Dajun say that as long as there is fruit, Miss Xu can make that delicious fruit-flavored soda.

"There are many loquat trees in my village outside the city. When I get back later, I will ask Manager Song to give instructions and I will pick all the loquats and bring them to you tomorrow."

Xu Yinyin accepted it happily, and did not say any extraneous words about whether it was money or not. She just said: "Then when I make the loquat ointment, I will send you two cans. Loquat moistens the lungs. Drink it mixed with warm water every day. It is better than drinking tea.

.”

"good."

The two of them were like good friends who had known each other for many years, chatting about domestic and family matters, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Dajun took Xiao Hei for a walk and came back. At that moment, they left together and headed back to the east of the city.

It was getting dark when we got home at this time, and it was too late to catch dinner. Xu Dajun was very good at stirring up the atmosphere, so he suggested finding a restaurant to have dinner before going home.

Fang Congyun was naturally very happy, so he found a nearby restaurant with a nice environment, not too many people and was quiet, and asked for a private room.

They all say that if they can get along, they will know if they have a meal together. Xu Dajun can eat, Xu Yinyin likes to eat, and although Fang Congyun is not as eater as Xu Dajun, he is not picky about food. He likes to eat all the dishes Xu Yinyin orders.

After eating it in one meal, it is quite suitable.

Fang Congyun also observed and remembered Xu Yinyin's preferences. Well, Miss Xu likes to eat fish very much.

He had already thought about what he would do with Miss Xu during the next holiday.

Although men and women are on guard against each other, the secular rules are not so harsh for men and women who are engaged. As long as there is someone following, a third person is present, it is okay for the two to meet and meet, but it is not allowed only one month before the wedding.

Meet.

This is also the reason why Xu Yinyin decided to settle the marriage first. To fall in love, to fall in love, is to talk about it. If you can't meet, what is falling in love?

After dinner, a few people took a walk back to Qingyunfang.

Fang Congyun sent his sister and brother home first, and then he went to Songlinfang.

The two siblings entered the house. It was not too early now. Zhang Xiulan had returned from the shop and was counting coins in the house.

She just came back from outside when she saw them, and she didn't ask any questions. She just came back happily. She never interfered much in the entertainment life of her siblings.

Instead, he hurriedly shouted to them to come over and help them count the copper plates and string them together.

This job is a boring job to pass the time. It is easy to get distracted and make mistakes if you are counting people.

But I had to count them every night, and every day I received only copper plates. It was a big box, and it took me a while to string it together.

Xu Dajun still had to do his homework, but he quickly slipped away.

Xu Yinyin sat down to help count, and added the asarum. After a while, the strings were all clear.

Zhang Xiulan packed up the strings one by one and couldn't help but ask Xu Yinyin: "How much money does our family have now?"

Xu Yinyin racked her brains and figured out that the profit from the workshop had not yet been divided, but the sanitary ware shop had been obtained, plus the dividends from the hot pot restaurant, the profits from the pig's trotter rice shop, all added up and the investment in growing peppers...

"There are about two thousand taels of silver."

Zhang Xiulan yawned, "That's still three thousand taels short, and we have to work hard to earn it."

Xu Yinyin knew what she meant and couldn't help but smile: "Mom, you worry about this all day long? Don't worry, he won't take it if you give it back to him, absolutely."

"You still have to look at it if you don't want it." Zhang Xiulan said: "Put it together first. If he doesn't want it at that time, the money will be used as a dowry for you."

Xu Yinyin listened and stopped talking.

The mother and daughter talked together for a while, and Xu Yinyin also yawned. Zhang Xiulan then urged her to go back and wash up and sleep. It was getting late.

Xu Yinyin got up and went outside. She couldn't help but say, "My father won't be sleeping at home during this period. Mom, are you afraid of being alone? Do you want me to keep you company?"

Zhang Xiulan smiled angrily and said, "Okay, okay, go to sleep! How old are you children? You know how to talk nonsense with your mother."

What was she afraid of? She wished she could sleep alone. It would be better if Lao Xu was not at home. Otherwise, she would have considered asking her daughter to redeem two boxes of those condoms.

It's the end of March and the weather has warmed up. I've been busy all day and can't sleep without taking a shower at night.

Zhang Xiulan washed her clothes quickly, wet her pillow and went to sleep. She slept until dawn, got up, packed up, and hurried to the shop.

Except for the few days after the opening, when she got up before dawn to rush to work, now she always sleeps until dawn before cleaning up.

Mrs. Zheng and the others stayed in the shop at night, and in the morning they would kill the ducks and chickens that were delivered, and singe and wash the pig's feet, waiting for her to get them done, so it saved her a lot of time.

From Qingyunfang to Shuanggui Lane, there are shops and spacious streets. You don’t have to worry about coming back at night, let alone this early in the morning.

Zhang Xiulan's steps were brisk and she arrived in a short time.

Just as he was about to enter the shop, two people stopped him.

When Zhang Xiulan took a look, weren't they the couple begging for food?

No, she gave her duck legs last night, so she got a taste of it, and now she's coming to beg for it so early in the morning?

She hasn't had breakfast yet.

Those who do business are most taboo about delivering things early in the morning before the business is opened.

Zhao Wenshan rubbed his hands, hesitated, and then said, "Mrs. Boss, I would like to ask, is your shop still recruiting workers? If so, what do you think of us as a couple?"

Xu Chunxi was also watching expectantly.

Zhang Xiulan was stunned, and then she realized that although the two couples were still dressed in slovenly clothes, they seemed to have found water to wash their faces and hands, and their exposed skin was no longer so dirty.

Even my hair was tangled up.

She couldn't help but think to herself that she was right about people. These two people were not unkind people.

Who doesn’t have difficulties when going out? Didn’t my daughter say that it’s better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish? Instead of always looking for alms and begging from others, it’s a good idea to find a job.

But her shop is not in need of people right now.

Zhang Xiulan couldn't help but look at the couple's eager eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "I'm not hiring anyone here anymore, so let's do this. I'll ask you later to see if I can help you find a job.

Come back tonight to hear the news."

Zhao Wenshan and Xu Chunxi couldn't help but feel a little regretful when they heard that she was no longer recruiting workers. But when they heard that she was willing to help them ask questions for them, they couldn't help but become happy and thanked Zhang Xiulan repeatedly.
