Chapter 57: Hiring (Update 1)
She didn't know if it was Shi Mi's illusion, but she actually felt that after her mother took the medicine, her breathing became calmer and her face was not so pale.
"Shi Mi thanks Miss for the medicine!" As soon as she came out from the inner room, Shi Mi knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Ziyu again.
"Get up quickly!" Yuan Ziyu said hurriedly. To be honest, Shi Mi had been kind to her in her previous life.
Qingying hurried forward and helped Shimi up.
"Come to think of it, you are a few years older than me. You don't have to be so polite when we meet next time." Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
Shi Mi hurriedly said, "How can that be possible? The young lady has been so kind to me, I don't know how I can ever repay her. This etiquette cannot be abandoned."
"I came here today to find you to do something for me!" Yuan Ziyou said, "What do you think?"
Shi Mi quickly responded, "Miss, if you have any requests, Shi Mi will definitely not refuse!"
"That's good!" Yuan Ziyou said, "But if you do that, you won't be able to go back to Xinghua Village every day. You'll have to live in the city."
Shi Mi paused for a moment after hearing this, and then asked a little embarrassedly: "Miss, my mother is not in good health. I wonder if I can take her with me."
Shi Mi was really worried if Shi Mu was left alone in Xinghua Village.
"Of course you can!" Yuan Ziyou said, "There's a yard in the city. Just take your mother and live there!"
"Thank you, Miss!" Shi Mi was delighted and was about to kneel down and kowtow again!
Yuan Ziyou stopped Shi Mi with a smile: "Don't you even ask me what I want you to do for me?"
"No matter what it is, as long as the lady asks me to do it, I will be willing to die for it!" Shi Mi said with a firm look.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "No need to risk your life. I'm planning to open a dim sum shop, and I need a kitchen lady who's good at cooking. I've been asking around, and you're not only proficient in pharmacology, but you're also a good cook. What do you think? Are you willing to help me?"
Naturally, these were what Yuan Ziyu learned in his previous life.
"I am willing!" Shi Mi quickly replied, "But I am worried that my cooking skills are not good enough and will ruin the reputation of your pastry shop."
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Since I want to open a shop, I naturally have a secret recipe. You don't need to worry about that. But we also have to make it clear first. To be the manager of my shop, you have to sign a contract. Do you understand?"
"I, Shi Mi, swear!" After hearing Yuan Ziyu's words, Shi Mi raised her hand and swore, "Shi Mi will do anything for you, young lady, with absolutely no second thoughts. Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning and suffer a miserable end."
"Since I came to find you, I trust you!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Miss!"
"Okay, we'll go back first. You stay at home and take care of your mother for the next few days. When the shop is renovated in a few days, I'll send someone to find you!" Yuan Ziyu said.
"Yes!" Shi Mi responded quickly and sent Yuan Ziyu and others out the door.
Shi Mi had just returned to the house after seeing off a few people when there was a knock on the gate of the yard.
Shi Mi hurriedly opened the door and saw several women standing outside.
"Hey, Shi Mi, let's come and see your mother!" One of the women said to Shi Mi with a smile.
"Aunties, please come in!" Although she was not very familiar with these people, Shi Mi still let them in since they were guests.
A few people entered the house, and just went into the inner room to look at Shi Mu perfunctorily, then talked to Shi Mi with a smile.
"Shi Mi, I just saw a few nobles leaving your house. Are they here to see you? What do they want from you?"
"Yes, Shi Mi, I didn't expect you to know such a noble person. If there is anything good, don't forget our fellow villagers."
"That's right, if it weren't for our Xinghua Village taking you and your daughter in last year, who knows what would have happened to you. Don't ever forget our gratitude!"
Several women were talking at once, and without waiting for Shi Mi to answer, they each spoke to themselves.
Shi Mi also laughed on the side. When the others stopped talking, she smiled and said, "The village chief has taken us in, and we will never forget his kindness. The nobles came today because we have received your kindness before. You also know that I am knowledgeable about pharmacology, so you asked me to do something for you."
"Oh, so that's the case!" The women laughed and said, "Even so, we'll go back and talk again when we have time!"
Shi Mi is well versed in pharmacology, and everyone in the village knows it. If they have minor illnesses or disasters and the village barefoot doctor is not available, they will ask Shi Mi to take a look.
Originally, people thought Shi Mi had received benefits from a noble person, but they didn't know that she was going to repay the favor. Seeing that they couldn't take advantage of her, several women found excuses to leave.
"Mi'er!" Although Shi's mother was sick, she could hear everything that happened outside clearly. When she saw that everyone had left, she called out to Shi Mi, "Do you take the nobleman's words seriously?"
"Of course, mother!" Shi Mi smiled and tucked the corner of the quilt for Shi Mu: "Don't worry, you also heard what the noble man said. I can take you to the city with me."
"Mi'er, you said that this noble person helped you. When did that happen?" Shi Mu was still a little worried. In her opinion, those noble people who were high and mighty were too far away from them and were not something that ordinary people like them could contact.
"It was the time when we went into the city before the New Year!" Shi Mi smiled and told her mother about Yuan Ziyu's book purchase. She said that she was lost and had soiled the manuscripts. It was Yuan Ziyu and his servant who helped her and bought back her damaged manuscripts.
"Amitabha, this noble man is really a good person!" Shimu chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Mi'er, you must work hard for the noble man and don't be lazy or slack off."
"Mom, I'm not that kind of person!" Shi Mi said with a smile.
Mother Shi smiled and said, "I know, but it's useless to tell you this!"
While the Shi mother and daughter were talking in private, Yuan Ziyu and the other four had already entered the city with lanterns on. Huo Xifei sent Yuan Ziyu straight to the gate of Yuan Mansion.
"You'er, do you need me to check the background of that person again?" Along the way, Yuan Ziyu had already told Huo Xifei about his encounter with Shi Mi, but Huo Xifei still felt something was wrong.
"No need!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile: "If you employ someone, trust him. If you don't trust him, don't employ him. Since I want to employ her, I naturally trust her."
"But the most important things in your pastry shop are the recipes. What if they are leaked?" Huo Xifei frowned slightly.
Yuan Ziyou pursed her lips and smiled. Seeing that there was no one around, she approached Huo Xifei and said, "I'll tell you in secret. My real secret recipe isn't for snacks!"
Huo Xifei raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"I'll tell you later!" Yuan Ziyu blinked mischievously and jumped into the mansion.
Huo Xifei looked at Yuan Ziyu's back, smiled and shook his head.
"Prince!" Pingshan called softly.
"Go back home!"
