The two of them left Yue's house and walked towards the village entrance. Wang Yu saw that Cheng Chen was not very happy, so he took his hand and said, "I will bring you back to stay for two more days later."
"Really?" The child blinked at him.
"real."
"Well, my husband is so nice."
"Is that all?" Wang Yu joked. This person was too easily satisfied.
"Yes, my husband is the best!" Cheng Chen said with certainty. When she first got married, she was worried that her husband would not recover from his illness, and she was also worried that her husband would not be satisfied with him after he recovered. But now... thinking of this, she looked up at Wang Yu and said seriously: "My husband is very good. He feels sorry for me, gives me candy, and comforts me. I like my husband very much!"
Wang Yu looked at the child's serious eyes and heard his heart-wrenching words. His heart, which had been silent for thirty years, began to beat wildly. Wang Yu chuckled. Really, he was attracted to the child in front of him. It's not like no one had confessed their feelings before, but never like this time. He wanted to hug the person in front of him!
Wang Yu never backs down when it comes to love. Now that he has this idea, he must seize it. He also said to Cheng Chen seriously: "I like Ah Chen too. I will always treat you well."
Cheng Chen nodded and looked into her husband's eyes. She felt something was different. She couldn't figure out what the difference was, but the sadness of leaving home also dissipated. Her husband said that he would always treat her well. Thinking of this, her eyes curved.
On the way back, they rented a mule cart from Xiling Village. Wang Yu asked him to stop at the door of the restaurant, gave him the money, and took Cheng Chen down. Baiweilou was the largest restaurant in the town, located in the best location in the entire town. There were a lot of customers and a large flow of people. Wang Yu pulled Cheng Chen in.
Cheng Chen was very curious, thinking that since his husband brought him here to eat, the place must be very expensive, but he didn't dare to say anything.
The waiter at the door saw them and immediately came over and said, "Sir, come in and sit down. What would you like to eat?"
Wang Yu said that he came in after seeing the recruitment notice at the door. The waiter asked them to wait while he went to call the restaurant manager. After a while, a man came in. He was wearing a green satin suit, had a round face with a tuft of beard, and had a smiling look in his eyes. He should be the restaurant manager.
Wang Yu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Steward, I'm here to answer the call to the accountant."
Manager Zhang looked at his scholarly appearance and said, "Okay, let's talk in the back."
Wang Yu asked the waiter to bring a pot of tea and snacks, and asked Cheng Chen to eat the snacks while waiting for him in the lobby, and then he went to the back with the manager.
Manager Zhang had looked at several people over the past few days and was not satisfied with them. Now he said directly, "I'll give you a test."
"Okay, Manager Zhang, please ask the questions." Wang Yu made a gesture of invitation.
"Now there are pheasants and rabbits in a cage. There are thirty-five heads on top and ninety-four legs below. How many pheasants and rabbits are there?"
This was a typical chicken-and-rabbit-in-a-cage puzzle. Wang Yu pondered for a moment and gave the answer, "Rabbit twelve, pheasant twenty-three."
The manager didn't expect him to answer so quickly, so he asked another question. Wang Yu also answered quickly. The manager smiled and said, "Well, I didn't expect you to be so good at math!"
He turned around and took out an account book and handed it to Wang Yu, asking him to calculate the total income and expenditure of the past two months. Wang Yu took the account book and sat at the table. He opened the account book and found that the accounts were complicated and unclear. Wang Yu took the new paper next to it and sorted it out using the modern spreadsheet accounting method. It took less than half an hour for Wang Yu to finish sorting it out and showed it to the manager.
"So fast?" The manager took the account from Wang Yu in disbelief. After a closer look, he found that the result was the same as his calculation, but Wang Yu's way of notation was clearer, neater and more beautiful.
"You're a talented kid! Your account is so clear and organized. Very good!" The manager patted Wang Yu's shoulder happily and said, "Come over tomorrow. Our accounting office gets three taels of silver a month and two days off!"
Wang Yu was very happy to hear that he was recruited, so he said, "Manager Zhang, I have a humble request."
"you say."
"I'm still studying at the academy. Can I come over this afternoon to do the accounts?"
The manager thought about Wang Yu's speed in calculating and his way of keeping accounts, and agreed that he could indeed come over in the afternoon.
After Wang Yu thanked Manager Zhang, he went out to look for Cheng Chen. Seeing the untouched cakes on the table, he asked, "Isn't it tasty?"
Cheng Chen felt a little embarrassed but still told Wang Yu: "This snack is very expensive, right? My husband hasn't eaten it yet, and my parents haven't eaten it at home either. Let's pack it up and take it back."
Wang Yu felt so soft-hearted when he saw such a well-behaved child. He picked up a piece of cake, fed it to him, and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"Delicious." The dim sum melted in his mouth, with a delicate and soft texture. It was the first time that Cheng Chen had eaten such delicious dim sum. It was worthy of being made by a restaurant. He squinted his eyes with joy.
Wang Yu asked the waiter to pack up the food, paid the bill and took Cheng Chen out of the restaurant. Cheng Chen was shocked to see that a plate of dim sum cost forty cents. It was really expensive.
Wang Yu also found a job today. He happily told Cheng Chen that he would buy some meat and make braised pork for him. Cheng Chen looked at her husband's happy face and asked him if he was selected. Wang Yu scratched the tip of the child's nose and praised him, "Achen is so smart!"
After buying meat at the butcher shop, the two of them arrived at the town entrance. There were no ox carts around, so they walked back, thinking it wasn't far. It was spring again, and the trees, flowers, and grass on both sides of the road were green and fresh, with a refreshing scent. When they got home, Wang Mu took Wang Yu's backpack and said, "You're back. Did the journey go smoothly? How's my father-in-law's injury?"
"It's going well. My father-in-law's injury has healed. Just take good care of him." Wang Yu answered one by one, and took out the braised pork and snacks inside and said, "Mother, I was summoned to the accountant of the restaurant in town. I bought two pounds of meat today and will cook it for you tonight."
The Queen Mother was very happy to receive the meat. The accountant of the restaurant earned several taels of silver a month and kept praising her son for his promising future.
Wang Yu felt embarrassed by his mother's praise, so he took out the remaining money and handed it to her. His mother didn't take it, but told Wang Yu to keep it himself, saying that he was already a married man and had some money, so he could buy whatever he wanted.
Wang Yu thought so too. He needed to go to the academy tomorrow. He hadn't been there since the exam. Now that he was well, he had to go. He still had to study in the future, and he also had to tell the teacher about what happened today. So he put the money away.
Wang Yu cooked dinner. In modern times, Wang Yu would occasionally cook, but he didn't know many dishes. He could only cook braised pork. But Cheng Chen was very curious. It is said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. It turned out that her husband, a scholar, could go into the kitchen and cook. Cheng Chen sat in front of the stove and made a fire. She looked at Wang Yu with admiration in her eyes and said, "Her husband is so amazing!"
Wang Yu looked at the child with amusement, poured oil into the pot, added an appropriate amount of sugar to the cold oil, melted the sugar on low heat until it turned brown, added the chopped pork belly, stir-fried until the fat came out, added cinnamon, peppercorns, and bay leaves and stir-fried for a few times, added hot water to cover the meat, then added soy sauce for color, a small amount of salt, and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, and simmered on low heat for half an hour.
