Chapter 96 Flower Scroll
Wen Zhenyi moved aside as soon as he opened the door. Now he simply sat on the bench in the hall, crossed his legs, dangling one foot, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it slowly.
Boss Wu kicked the people on the ground: "You are all a bunch of trash, get out of here!"
The people on the ground rolled and crawled to the side, not daring to make a sound.
Boss Wu walked into the store and looked around with some disgust.
Butler Wu put away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, threw it to the servant beside him, and followed Boss Wu in with a nod and a bow.
Wen Zhenyi put down the cup in his hand: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly. Don't waste my time."
"Damn girl, do you know who you are talking to?"
Wen Zhen didn't even raise his eyelids: "Is it a dog? Can't you understand human language?"
"you...."
Boss Wu looked at Wen Zhenyi. He didn't go to the Cheng family's birthday party, but he had heard about it. The stories were so incredible that he even asked someone to buy breakfast for them.
The taste was indeed something he had never tasted before. When he knew that the shop was rented to her, he even felt that he could control her.
But he didn't expect that Boss Cheng would show up halfway and ruin his plan.
"I will give you a salary of one hundred taels of silver a month and work as a cook in my house."
Wen Zhenyi looked at him as if he were a fool. As long as she wanted to, it would be easy to earn a hundred taels a day, let alone a hundred taels a month.
"You gave more than the dog next to you. He only gave me one or two taels of silver."
Boss Wu's face instantly turned ugly. He turned to look at Butler Wu and asked, "Is what she said true?"
"Brother-in-law, don't listen to her nonsense. I didn't say that." Butler Wu quickly defended himself, glaring at Wen Zhenyi fiercely. "Don't talk nonsense."
"I don't know who it was, but they came to the shop arrogantly and asked me to cook for a tael of silver. If I didn't go, they even wanted to tie me up. Unfortunately, I was no match for them and was beaten into a fool."
"you..."
Boss Wu looked at Wen Zhenyi, then at Butler Wu. He could tell who was telling the truth and who was lying at a glance: "I remember that I asked you to hire someone, not kidnap anyone. I don't think the price I offered was just one or two taels of silver."
"Brother-in-law, she's just a village girl. Giving her one or two taels of silver is a sign of respect for her. Look, she's still taking advantage of me."
Boss Wu slapped him in the face: "Don't think that just because you sent your sister to my bed, you can be my master. Your sister is just a concubine who warms my bed. Do you really think of yourself as my principal wife?"
Butler Wu was stunned by the slap and fell to the ground. Now, hearing him say this, he immediately knelt down and walked to his feet: "Sister..." Before the husband could finish his words, he felt the cold light in Boss Wu's eyes and quickly changed his words: "Master, I, I didn't mean that."
Wen Zhenyi yawned: "I don't have time to watch you perform family ethics drama here. If you have nothing to do, go out and don't disturb me."
Boss Wu looked at Butler Wu lying on the ground and said, "Let's go back and settle the bill." Then he looked at Wen Zhenyi and said, "How much do you want?"
"I have no interest in being your family's cook."
Boss Wu hadn't been so humble for a long time. Thinking of the people who would be coming in a few days, he suppressed his anger again: "Help me prepare a table of food and I will give you 100 taels."
"Not interested."
"Don't be ungrateful."
Wen Zhenyi looked at him with a sneer: "I don't know how to appreciate your kindness. What can you do to me?"
"Okay, very good. There will be a time when you will need my help." Boss Wu said, then he flicked his sleeves and left.
Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at the person who was leaving. He thought he was going to fight, but he didn't expect him to just leave like that. It was boring.
Ma Yinghe frowned: "Yi Yi, this Boss Wu is not a good person."
"Mom, I know it even if you don't tell me."
Old Lady Wen looked at the carriage that had already left and said, "You should all be careful in town recently. He is not someone you can easily talk to."
"Grandma, we know."
It rained today and there was no one in the market. I have some vegetables for my family, but it will be difficult to sell them tomorrow.
Old Man Wen went to the cloth shop early in the morning to buy some cloth strips. When he came back, Boss Wu had already left. He just felt that the atmosphere was a little strange: "Old lady, what happened?"
Old Mrs. Wen didn't want to hide it from him, so she told him what had just happened that Boss Wu had come.
"This person is not so easy to get along with."
"I just don't know what evil he is up to."
Old Man Wen thought for a moment and said, "Let's not go back to the village for the next few days. I'm not too sure."
"Okay, I'm also uneasy. I always feel like something's going to go wrong."
Zhu Tao also felt that the atmosphere was very strange: "Yi Yi, was that person just now very bad?"
"It's okay." Wen Zhenyi comforted her with a smile.
“No one is selling vegetables at the market today. What are we going to sell tomorrow?”
"We'll sell flower rolls tomorrow."
"What is Hanamaki?"
"It's a kind of noodle dish, similar to steamed buns, but the taste is a little different."
"Do we have to prepare today?"
"We need to let the dough rest later. We don't have much to do right now. Let's go help Grandpa cut the strips of cloth."
Zhu Tao nodded. The family had nothing to do today, so they cut strips of cloth in the hall.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the rain outside the house. This feeling really made him drowsy.
Old Lady Wen saw that she had yawned several times: "Yi Yi, if you are sleepy, go to sleep for a while. It's a rare opportunity that you don't have to open the store today, so have a good rest."
Ma Yinghe also smiled and said, "Yes, you are yawning here, and we are yawning too."
Wen Zhenyi was so upset that tears welled up in his eyes every time he yawned, so he simply gave up and ran back to his room to have a good sleep.
The rain lasted all day and all night, and it didn't clear up until dawn the next day.
The kitchen has started to get busy. They had already let the noodles rise yesterday.
Wen Zhenyi took a look at the condition of the noodles and started rolling them into a thin sheet. He brushed sesame oil on it and sprinkled salt and chopped green onions on it.
Then roll it into a roll again, cut the dough into appropriate sizes with a knife, use chopsticks to press a deep groove on the outer dough, press the thumbs of both hands into the deep groove, stretch it to both sides, and twist it in opposite directions.
Finally, the head and tail are connected to form a beautiful flower shape.
Wen Zhenyi made both sweet and salty flavors to meet different needs. Some people like sweet food, while others like salty food.
Zhu Tao learned quickly: "This is really beautiful."
"Yes, they look like little flowers." Old Mrs. Wen also made one.
Old Man Wen and Wen Chengwen helped to light the fire and put the steamed buns on the steamer, ready to steam them.
A steamer had five layers of trays stacked high. Wen Chengwen closed the lid. If it were any higher, it would be difficult to lift. "Yi Yi, how long do you want to steam it?"
"A quarter of an hour, and it needs to simmer for a little longer, about the time it takes to make two cups of tea."
