Others are sad because of their friend's daughter's situation, why is she adding fuel to the fire?

"Master Su, have some tea and take a rest first. I'll go and help my sister-in-law weigh the stewed dishes."

While Lu Baiwei was busy weighing the braised dishes, Su Changyao stared at her while drinking tea.

As more customers lined up, Su Changyao drank up the tea in his cup and came over to help with the work.

He was quick and agile and quickly sent away all the customers in the long queue.

"Comrade Lu, I heard that you are very familiar with Sister Li from the Street Office?"

"Well, the house we live in now was bought from her, and she also helped to rent this shop."

Su Changyao is not a talkative person, so it's strange that he asked so many questions.

Lu Baiwei then looked at him suspiciously.

Su Changyao's next sentence made Lu Baiwei lose her composure, and Gu Min was about to explode.

"Comrade Lu, I want you to talk to Sister Li and ask her to write me a letter of introduction. I want to go to the place where my friend's daughter is working in the countryside to find out the cause of her death."

"What? Master Su, you want to ask for leave?"

Before Lu Baiwei even started talking, Gu Min was already overwhelmed.

"You've only been working for less than a month, why do you want to take leave to go to the countryside?"

"Don't you know how busy our shop is?"

"If you leave, how can we keep up with the work in our shop?"

To be honest, Lu Baiwei was also confused when Su Changyao suddenly asked for leave.

It can be said that since the braised food shop opened, Su Changyao has taken on most of the work in the store. If he leaves, the shop will be in a mess.

However, Lu Baiwei thought of Feng Shishi and couldn't say no for the moment.

After Feng Shishi got into trouble, none of her relatives showed up except Li Ruicai.

She was like a person forgotten in the countryside, and stayed in the Xiangyang Brigade forever.

That silly girl is easily satisfied.

Would she be happy if her relatives came to see her too?

Putting herself in Feng Shishi's shoes, Lu Baiwei's rationality was replaced by the emotion that surged from the bottom of her heart.

She asked Su Changyao: "Master Su, how many days will you be gone?"

"Six or seven days. I'll come back as soon as possible."

Su Changyao said apologetically, "Comrade Lu, Manager Gu, I'm really sorry. My friend has done me a favor. If I don't find out the cause of her daughter's death in the countryside, she won't be able to bear it."

"Heart disease needs heart medicine, I have to go there for him."

"You can deduct a little more from my salary."

Lu Baiwei said that when she passed by the street office later, she would help Su Changyao say hello to Sister Li. Su Changyao said many words of thanks and immediately adjusted his mood and worked hard.

Gu Min was very dissatisfied with Lu Baiwei asking Su Changyao to take leave.

"Weiwei, what on earth are you thinking?"

Gu Min sighed: "Who would ask for leave after working for less than a month? There are so many people watching over our Food Taste Records job, okay?"

"But isn't Master Su the only person you trust?"

Lu Baiwei apologized to Gu Min and told her about her arrangements: "Sister-in-law, asking Master Su to take leave was indeed out of my selfish motives."

"But look at the way he looked when he came back just now. If we don't let him go and help his friend resolve his worries, wouldn't he be driving our Food Taste Restaurant away by entertaining guests with such a sad face?"

"As for the few days that Master Su has taken leave, here's how I arranged it. Song Zhou, my brother Tang Yuanyang and I will come to the shop to help."

"Besides, our shop is too busy. I mean to hire someone to help with odd jobs. Sister Song Zhou is here from her hometown looking for a job. You can see if it's okay when someone comes."

Song Zhou and Gu Min knew that her sister-in-law had only invited her to have a meal in the store. This girl came to help them sell braised dishes whenever she was free. She was the most diligent and honest one, so she thought her sister could be no mistake.

Just as Lu Baiwei and Gu Min expected, Song He was also the kind of person who was hardworking and down-to-earth. Perhaps because she was often looked down upon and criticized by her family members who favored boys over girls at home, this girl could never rest for a moment.

As soon as she entered the store, she helped to clean up the dishes and wipe the table, which made the two aunts who had been a little slack in their work recently feel a sense of crisis again, fearing that Song He would take their jobs.

Although Song He came from the countryside and wore homespun clothes, she kept herself clean.

Gu Min was very satisfied when he saw the outgoing girl who could get any job as soon as she came into the store.

"Okay then, we need to find someone who is quick and agile."

Gu Min leaned close to Lu Baiwei's ear and whispered, "Recently, the two aunts have been slacking off at work. Seeing how much money our store collects every day, they keep complaining about having too many customers and feeling tired and sore."

"Song He is here, let's see if they still want to study."

How can I still recite it?

Haven’t you noticed that the two aunts are competing with Song He for work right now?

Lu Baiwei couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

Song Zhou was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She followed Lu Baiwei and called Gu Min sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, if Xiao He doesn't work seriously, you have the final say on whether to beat or scold her. Don't give her face just because Wei Wei and I are classmates."

Gu Min said hurriedly: "That's not necessary. If you violate the store rules, just deduct your salary."

Knowing that Gu Min was teasing her, she smiled gratefully: "Okay, if she doesn't listen, you can deduct her salary."

"I'll teach her a lesson later..."

With the diligent Song He, Gu Min was relieved about Su Changyao's leave.

Sister Li from the Street Office immediately agreed to Lu Baiwei's request for help.

It was agreed that Su Changyao would go to the street office to get a letter of introduction and ask for leave the next day. Unexpectedly, Gu Min was busy making braised dishes at work the next day, and Su Changyao came to the braised food shop again.

Gu Min was busy cooking stewed food. She looked surprised and asked, "Why are you here again? Didn't you ask for leave today?"

"The train is at 2pm. I can rush to the train station at noon so I can catch it in time. There are many dishes to braise in the morning, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Gu Min had a feeling that someone as capable as Su Changyao would not be able to stay at Shiweiji for too long.

Su Changyao took a train in the afternoon and came to the shop to help early in the morning. This made Gu Min feel relieved. It seemed that Su Changyao still had feelings for their Shiweiji and would not run away suddenly.

Gu Min was very happy that Su Changyao treated her as a part of the Shiweiji shop.

"Then I'll go check it out in the front. You'll be in charge of the stewed food in the kitchen in the back this morning."

Su Changyao quietly touched the bulging medicine bag in his bag and nodded to Gu Min: "Okay, just leave it to me."

After Gu Min left, Su Changyao looked hesitant.

As if he had gone through a long psychological struggle, he was hesitating while holding the bag of medicine powder. Suddenly, someone outside called "Master Su". Su Changyao's hand shook, and the medicine powder in the bag spilled into the braising pot.

"Come on, what's up?"

Gu Min was not in the store at the moment. Two shop assistants were washing pig intestines waiting to be braised at the faucet outside the kitchen. Only Song He was left in the front, wiping the tables, chairs and benches.

Su Changyao walked out of the kitchen, and Song He was receiving a kind-looking old man in Mandarin, which she was not very fluent in.
