Chapter 653 Deputy City Lord Su, help me!
The uncle's eyes flashed, and he asked doubtfully, "Aren't you afraid that I don't have the blacksmithing skills?"
Su Nuan smiled nonchalantly and said, "What kind of skills are needed? Isn't it just smashing the gold and sticking it on the wooden pallet?"
"Then you can help me make a few wooden pallets, and I'll ask a blacksmith to help me lay the gold on them."
When Su Nuan said this, the doubt in the uncle's eyes disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will."
Su Nuan started chatting again, "Besides building these cabinets, what else can you do?"
The uncle's eyes flashed, and he straightened his back and began to brag, "I can do everything. I have people under me...ahem...my family members can do all kinds of things."
Su Nuan almost laughed out loud. Wouldn’t this expose her identity?
But I can't guess this person's identity. If he is the one who released the rats and attracted the beast tide, I will definitely not let him off easily.
Su Nuan delayed for a quarter of an hour, and Ling Yun came into the house holding the millstone.
He glanced at the uncle, frowned and asked, "Are you a carpenter?"
The uncle frowned slightly when he saw Ling Yun, and said calmly: "Yes."
Ling Yun put down the millstone and said, "This is a frame. Can you lift it?"
Seeing Ling Yun's eyes full of contempt, the uncle clenched and unclenched his fists, and finally said with a smile: "No, I don't have that much strength."
Su Nuan pursed her lips to hide her smile. She was also a proud guy.
Ling Yun deliberately said: "Now the team outside has assembled and will start searching the mountain immediately."
"Those who caused the beast tide will definitely not be able to hide. When the time comes, they will be made to pay with blood."
Su Nuan also deliberately said seriously: "That's right, we must not let them go."
The uncle's eyes flashed, but his expression didn't change. He was a calm man.
Ling Yun added, "Since there's nothing else to do, go back early. Once the shop is in order, you won't have to watch over it anymore."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
This guy made me "angry", and I don't want to forgive him just like that.
Su Nuan didn't stay long and pulled Bai Tong out.
The uncle asked, "When will the gold be given to you?"
Su Nuan turned around and said, "When you finish making everything, I want to see how much gold is needed for a tray."
"Well...it can't be too heavy. It will be inconvenient to hold. After all, women don't have much strength."
After saying that, she pointed at Ling Yun and said, "Ask him for all the gold and silver."
After saying that, Su Nuan walked out in a happy mood.
Ling Yun opened his mouth but didn't dare to refute. He was smart now and felt that spending money would make Su Nuan happy, so any amount of money would be worth it.
At the same time, he also understood one thing, that is, he should not make women angry, otherwise it would hurt his wallet.
He sighed and decided to work hard to make money.
Although Su Nuan didn't know why Ling Yun didn't catch that man, she didn't say anything. After all, she was not familiar with things like scouting the enemy.
Bai Tong looked back and saw that they were almost at a distance. She whispered, "Is there something wrong with that person?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, I suspect it has something to do with the person who caused the beast tide."
Bai Tong's face turned pale and he complained, "Then why are you alone in a room with him?"
Su Nuan was startled and asked, "What? Do you want to avoid suspicion?"
Bai Tong shook his head, "No, I'm afraid you'll be in danger."
Su Nuan laughed, "Don't worry, he wouldn't dare do anything bad in broad daylight."
Bai Tong sighed, "I was stupid, I thought you wanted to take this opportunity to mess with Ling Yun, but I didn't expect that person to be problematic."
Su Nuan was speechless. No wonder she ran out to look for someone with a smirk on her face. It turned out that she thought she was tormenting Ling Yun.
Never mind, it’s better that she didn’t understand my true meaning, so I don’t have to worry too much.
"Let's go to the government office."
Bai Tong asked nervously, "Did you go to the government office and tell them there were spies?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "I'll go post a notice to recruit dim sum chefs."
Bai Tong, “…” Okay, I was overthinking it.
The two came to the notice board of the yamen, where there were tables, chairs, paper and pens. Those who wanted to write a notice could write it themselves. The prerequisite was that they could not waste paper, after all, it was quite expensive.
Su Nuan wrote a recruitment notice, and as soon as she posted it, a group of people gathered around.
An old lady asked: "Deputy City Lord, what does this say?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I want to open a dim sum shop so that people won't feel embarrassed about coming empty-handed when visiting relatives and friends."
"Now that our lives have stabilized, we need to get back together with our former relatives and friends so that we can show that our lives are getting better and better."
"I want to hire a cook who can make pastries and two girls who can sell pastries."
She paused, thinking it was better to say something upfront, and then continued, "The cook needs to be under 40 years old, because kneading dough is physical work."
"Little girl... maybe over ten years old. If she's too young, I'm afraid she'll eat it all."
Everyone burst into laughter: "Hahaha..."
Su Nuan continued, "By the way, during the Chinese New Year, the City Lord's Mansion will help make dumplings with meat. Anyone who knows how to make dumplings can come and help."
Someone cheered: "We can eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, so I will learn now."
Someone laughed and said, "How can you learn without any noodles?"
The man replied: "That's easy. Just mix some mud and you'll be able to practice."
"Hahaha……"
Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, Su Nuan smiled and said, "Don't worry about the New Year's meal. This is our first peaceful year, so the City Lord's Mansion will have a buffet, and there will be plenty!"
Nowadays, people don’t even have a holiday to celebrate, so we need to give them something to look forward to.
As a human being, only when you have expectations will you feel that your life has hope and will be more fulfilling.
Bai Tong suddenly admired Su Nuan very much. She sighed and said, "It turns out that women can also lead a city!"
Su Nuan shook her head. "Not necessarily. Women are more thoughtful and consider things differently from men."
"Men focus on strengthening the city and protecting the people inside, so they tend to ignore the details of life."
"Women... hehe... to put it bluntly, they're always nitpicking."
"For example, when it's cold, are they dressed warmly? When it's hot, will they get heatstroke? When they have nothing to do, will they be bored?"
Bai Tong shook his head, "I don't understand. I'm not cut out to be a city lord."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "We have nothing to do now."
The two were talking and laughing when someone shouted, "Deputy City Lord Su, help!"
Su Nuan was startled, "What's the matter?"
The uncle ran over and said breathlessly: "Help... Save my grandson..."
Su Nuan patted the uncle on the back and said, "Don't worry, take me there quickly."
The uncle didn't even bother to say anything and just pulled Su Nuan and ran away.
Su Nuan turned around and said, "Tongtong, help me recruit people."
Bai Tong was stunned for a moment and shouted, "How much is the salary?"
Su Nuan responded, "I don't know..."
Bai Tong, "..."
Everyone: “Hahaha…”
Bai Tong said helplessly: "Look, I don't even know how much money to give, how can I recruit this person?"
The aunties, not afraid of getting into trouble, started to come up with bad ideas.
"How about this, one gold coin a day, and I'll start learning how to make snacks now."
"Hahaha... I don't need that. One silver coin a day will do."
"You guys can forget about it. I'll do it. A copper coin will do."
Bai Tong's eyes lit up and he asked, "Then what kind of snacks can you make?"
