Chapter 12 Great Strength
"Then Su Ji will sell wontons and noodles with soybean paste in the future. I guess there will be some other snacks as well."
The two people eating wontons looked at each other and then laughed after hearing Ai Cao's answer.
"Isn't that the same thing as what you sell at this wonton stand?"
"Someone is trying to steal your business, and you, a little girl, can still laugh..."
"Of course I can laugh." Ai Cao giggled like a little fox, "Because that's the shop opened by my daughter. When the shop over there is ready, our wonton stall will move over there. The price will remain the same. Then we'll have to trouble you to go and support us!"
“…”
The clowns are actually themselves!
The two laughed awkwardly for a while, but immediately said, "That's for sure."
The wonton skin is thin and the filling is large. The price is reasonable and the portion is large. The scallion oil is very fragrant. The portion of fried noodles with soybean paste is also very large. If it is not enough, you can get another half portion of noodles. The taste is also excellent.
Who wouldn’t want to go to a food shop like this?
When the people eating at the stall heard this, they all nodded and said some words of support.
The news about Su Ji's shop, which is also known as Su Ji's wonton stall, soon spread on the street.
Su Yujin could even occasionally see people standing in front of Su's shop, pointing at the sign and saying, "This shop will be the Su's wonton stall in the future."
"That's great. The food at this Su Ji wonton stall is delicious, but it's on the street after all. There are people coming and going, cars going and coming. No matter how clean the stall is, there will always be some dust. If it's not clean, move it to the shop. Then I can buy more from it without worry..."
It seems that this promotional method of first setting up riddles to attract people and then revealing the answers is really a good one.
Su Yujin shamelessly gave herself a thumbs up.
Because the shop had been in use before and was not vacant, and the Meng family had renovated it last year, there was not much that needed to be taken care of in the shop all day. After the carpenter delivered the custom-made dining table and chairs and arranged them according to Su Yujin's plan, the shop could be said to have taken shape.
The backyard will be used as a kitchen in the future, so Su Yujin also bought some kitchen utensils and storage racks for dishes and chopsticks.
By the time all these things were done, it was already early June.
Manager Sun of the pawnshop sent his clerk to invite Su Yujin again, saying that there were a few good people among the people the pawnshop had recruited this time. He picked out a few and asked Su Yujin to go over and take a look.
Su Yujin did not delay and took the mugwort with her to pick it.
Six people stood in a neat row in the backyard of the pawnshop, all with their heads lowered.
"All those sent here this time are girls of this age, all from the south. It hasn't rained there since March, and most of the crops in the fields have died of drought. Many families have no food to eat, so they can only send their daughters out."
The waiter introduced, "The shopkeeper has checked the household registration, and they are all from honest families, ordinary farmers' girls. They are honest and hardworking. Miss Su, take a look, is there any one who is asleep?"
"Thank you." Su Yujin paced back and forth, looking at the six people carefully.
The original owner had pawned her jewelry when she was in the most difficult times, but she was reluctant to give away the clothes she had spent a lot of money on, so the clothes in Su Yujin's box were all made of good fabrics and styles.
Su Yujin is not very particular about clothes, comfort is her main concern, so today she is wearing a moon-white forged dress with the most simple and elegant color and the softest texture, and a pair of ordinary light blue embroidered shoes on her feet.
Although this texture was ordinary in Su Yujin's eyes, in the eyes of those little girls who were sold by their families, it was a material that they had never seen before and was worn by the best people.
Those who can wear clothes made of such material must be either rich or noble, not to mention that they may be the ones who control their destiny.
The six people all lowered their heads again and again, and grasped their sleeves or the corners of their clothes in panic, fearing that something might go wrong.
Su Yujin looked for a long time, thought for a while, and picked a girl who was not too tall. "What's your name? How old are you this year?"
The little girl was suddenly questioned, she was a little timid, and she stammered, "I, my name is, Zhou Xiaotao, this year, this year I am fourteen."
"Who else is home?"
"Grandfather, grandmother, father and mother, two younger brothers and a younger sister." Zhou Xiaotao answered timidly.
Sure enough, he is the eldest in the family.
Su Yujin moved closer and asked, "Did you make the clothes you are wearing yourself?"
"No, it was my mother who did it." Zhou Xiaotao said, "I made the patch on it. When I came here, my clothes were worn out, so the manager asked us to fix them ourselves."
So the stitches on her clothes were rough and crooked, but the patches were neatly sewn. Even the shoes on her feet were washed very clean, and the patches on the shoes were sewn from the inside of the cloth.
It can be seen that he is a meticulous person.
"Can you cook?" Su Yujin asked.
"I can cook some food, but..." Zhou Xiaotao said, "The girl may not be able to eat it..."
The family was poor and they didn't have enough oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. The dishes were always cooked in plain water with only a little oil dripping out when cooked. They couldn't afford white flour either. Most of the time they ate steamed buns made of corn flour and sweet potato flour, and occasionally they could have noodles made of bean flour.
People wearing such nice clothes would definitely not be able to eat these things.
"As long as you can do it, the rest doesn't matter." Su Yujin said to the waiter, "She's the one."
"Okay." The guy wrote down the name.
Next words...
"Girl, choose me." He Erya, who was the tallest and had wheat-colored skin and was standing at the edge, spoke up, "I'm fifteen this year."
The voice was rough, loud and quite deafening.
Seeing her volunteering, Su Yujin asked with a smile, "What can you do?"
"I can do farm work." He Erya answered loudly, "At home, I do most of the farm work. I can do as well as one, no, one and a half strong laborers!"
After all, when she was at home, she was the one doing all the work in the fields at her aunt's house.
After the words were spoken, the remaining four people, who were originally extremely nervous, began to laugh secretly.
The manager just said that this girl is selecting servants for himself and useful clerks for the shop. They must be dexterous, meticulous in their work and smart in their behavior.
He Erya said that she could do farm work.
There is no need to do farm work in the county town.
He Erya probably also heard the laughter and scratched her ears, "I'm strong..."
The kind that can catch up with cattle.
Very strong.
Su Yujin smiled and said, "Okay, it's you."
The other four people, "..."
If they had known it was so easy, they would have been more proactive.
After all, she was sold. It was better to be a servant or a workman for this kind-looking and gentle girl than to be bought as a wife by some random person.
"Girl, I'm strong too."
"Girl, I can cook and sew clothes."
"girl……"
