Chapter 140 Everyone Wants to Be a Waiter

"At least half an ounce of silver. If you are appreciated by the shopkeeper, I'm afraid it will be even more. Moreover, if you work as a waiter in a restaurant, you may receive rewards from time to time if you are sweet-mouthed. Then you can earn even more, maybe one or two ounces of silver.

You can bring back the food that can't be eaten in the restaurant for us to eat. Look at your sister, she is so thin that her skin is just skin and bones. The same goes for mother, who has stomachaches every night because of hunger. How can those brown rice porridge and wild vegetables fill their stomachs?"

Widow Liu often went to the town.

In addition, he is a gossipy person and is familiar with everyone, so he naturally has a wide range of knowledge.

What she said was true.

Being a waiter means earning a lot of money and having lots of benefits, which is very popular.

Therefore, she and Wang Xiulian mistakenly thought that Jiang Dahe and his brothers worked as waiters in the shop, which was why they were so angry.

"Okay, I'll go look for it in town tomorrow."

I heard that you can earn one or two taels of silver a month.

Jiang Zhuzi's eyes suddenly lit up.

As long as he works hard for five months, he can marry Sun Xiaotao.

Five months is not a long time, but it is not fast either.

At least before the end of the year, Sun Xiaotao is still fifteen years old.

There is still time.

For his wife, he must go to the town.

Jiang Zhuzi's words almost made Widow Liu jump up from her chair.

"Son, don't lie to me. Did you really mean what you said just now?"

She looked at her eldest son eagerly.

My mouth opened involuntarily.

"Really? I'm going to town early tomorrow morning."

With anticipation for the future, Jiang Zhuzi became much less aggressive.

"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being my good son. Yadan, take out the meat buns from the backpack and give them to your brother."

Widow Liu burst into laughter through her tears.

"Oh, Mom, is this just one meat bun? Do you want me to take it to the kitchen and cut it into three pieces?"

Jiang Yadan opened the leaves, looked at the lonely meat bun, and swallowed her saliva.

The ones that are not tender are not good.

We haven't eaten meat in our family for several years.

She thought that this meat bun was bought by her mother for the whole family to eat.

So he suggested to his mother.

"Why cut it into three pieces? You're a little girl and you still want to eat meat buns? I bought this for your big brother. Go, give it to your big brother and don't even think about taking the meat buns."

Widow Liu glared at her daughter.

Jiang Yadan lowered her head in disappointment.

I obediently handed the meat buns to my brother.

Jiang Zhuzi didn't even say he would give her a piece.

He ate it all by himself.

The corners of his mouth were shiny.

Jiang Yadan took the leaves used to wrap the meat buns and hid in the kitchen, licking them secretly.

Although it is stained with the aroma of meat buns.

But nothing can be licked out.

It's just deceiving yourself.

On the other side, Wang Xiulian's family had already started having dinner.

At the dinner table.

Her husband Jiang Dahu heard that she went to the town with Widow Liu.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

“Pah—”

He just slapped the table.

The table, which was already missing half a leg, shook twice and almost collapsed.

"Don't get involved with Widow Liu in the future. Don't you know who she is? How many people in the village have gossiped about her? Do you want to learn from her and steal men?"

Jiang Dahu cursed loudly in front of his children, grandchildren and grandchildren.

"The kids are here, what are you talking about? I just get along well with her. Okay, okay, at worst I will just have less contact with her in the future. Let's not talk about this anymore. I have something important to say.

Zi Chong and Zi Tao, you two brothers should go to the town more often in your free time to see if there are any shops hiring. Jiang Da and his brothers are both waiters, so you are not much worse than them. You should go too, maybe you will find a job. Waiters earn a lot and can bring food home. Then our life will be much better."

Wang Xiulian felt sour in her heart when she thought of the Jiang family eating so much greasy food.

"They were working as waiters in the town? How come I didn't know about this when it happened?"

Jiang Dahu's anger disappeared inexplicably.

His attention was drawn to the news Wang Xiulian said.

He asked with doubt.

"Just today, I went to the town to sell dried mushrooms, and later accompanied Widow Liu to the Food Street to buy meat buns. When I passed by, I happened to see the two brothers working as waiters in a shop selling green bean soup and meat cakes. I wondered why Zhang Jinlan took her family to the town every day. It turned out that her son secretly became a waiter and she sent them to the town to work.

You forgot that a few days ago, her family was buying green beans in the village. I guess they were buying them from shop owners. When I thought about it, everything made sense. Otherwise, why would they buy so many green beans? A few baskets of green beans could be exchanged for two waiters. It's worth it."

As soon as Wang Xiulian finished speaking, the whole family had an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"But what about the farm work? We have several acres of land and the children are still young. We can't let Dad take care of the farm work alone when we go to town."

Jiang Zichong somewhat disagreed.

It’s not like he hasn’t been to town before.

It was very difficult to find odd jobs a few days ago. You could not even earn eight cents a day, and there were a lot of people competing for the job, not to mention the waiters. There were so many people watching them. How could they, who could not even read a word, possibly compete with others?

Moreover, he has a pair of children, the eldest daughter is only five years old, and the youngest son is only three years old.

My younger brother is an only child and he can't even walk steadily.

He and his brother went to town. Who will take care of the whole family?

"Silly child, your mother is here. She will stay at home to take care of the children, and your wife and your sister-in-law will take your place in the fields. Together with your father, the three of us will be busy. Don't worry. You know that the current situation is not good. If we don't suffer, we won't be able to fill our stomachs.

If you fight for your life and become a waiter, our family will never have to worry about food and drink. Look at these three children, they are as skinny as kittens. Don't you feel sorry for them?"

Wang Xiulian continued to persuade.

"Brother, just listen to mom. We will go to the town early tomorrow morning."

Jiang Zitao has been persuaded.

"Zi Chong, you and Zi Tao can go without worry, I'm at home."

Jiang Dahu also said this.

"Dad, go ahead. I will do my job well."

Jiang Zichong heard what his daughter-in-law Fan Yingying said.

He finally nodded.

"Well, okay, tomorrow morning Zitao and I will go to the town, but, mother, it's hard to find a waiter, if we can't find one, we can just do odd jobs."

Jiang Zichong knew it clearly in his heart.

The shop is small and two people are fighting for it.

If it was really that easy to find, would it be their turn?

I’m afraid my mother’s beautiful dream will be shattered.

"What kind of odd jobs are you looking for? Just look for a waiter. Don't worry. Take your time. If we can't find it in one day, we can look for it in two or three days until we find it."

Wang Xiulian's eyes could not tolerate anything else.

What's the point of doing odd jobs?

I'm exhausted and still don't make any money.

Jiang Zichong, who was holding the bowl of rice, also fell silent.

He knew it was useless to say more.

Just continue eating.

Anyway, mother will wake up sooner or later.

The Jiang family at this time.

Jiang Fubao also started eating dinner.
