Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Done
The three families were all shocked by Xu Yunfan tonight. The surprise came so suddenly that when the three families went to bed that night, some of the people sleeping next to their spouses asked their spouses if they were dreaming.
Uncle Qin nudged Aunt Qin beside him. "Mother, am I dreaming? Xu found a job in such a short time. He's really impressive."
Aunt Qin had a job, earning six hundred coins a month. She was even more bewildered than Uncle Qin at the moment. "I don't know, but the deed that Xu gave me, Qin San and I signed. He wouldn't use something like this to deceive us."
There were three waiters, and one of them was chosen from Qin Er and Qin San. Qin Er knew his own strengths and weaknesses. He was more timid than Qin San, so he would definitely not be able to do a good job entertaining the students of Qingfeng Academy. Therefore, Qin Er directly let Qin San do the waiter job.
Qin San had no objection to this.
In ancient times, it was important that the family should not be divided while the parents were still alive. All the money their family earned was handed over to Aunt Qin for safekeeping. Aunt Qin was different from other mothers-in-law. She took the money, but every month she would give a dozen or so coins to small families like Qin Er and his family, allowing them to keep it as pocket money.
Before, Qin Er and Qin San both worked in the fields at home, and there was no discussion about who could earn more money. Now Qin San went to work with Xu Yunfan and could earn 600 coins a month, which was indeed better than tending the crops.
Aunt Qin also became worried about this. "Master, tell me, from now on, should I take all the money from the Third Old Man's family, or..."
If she took it all, would Mr. Qin San have any objections?
They think they earn more, so why do they only get the same amount of money every month as Qin Er's family?
Uncle Qin turned his back to Aunt Qin and said, "I see you just can't sleep. You're already worrying about these things before you even make any money. Don't you know what kind of character our children are?"
Not to mention Qin Er and Qin San, even Qin Er's wife and Qin San's husband are good people.
But knowing is one thing. Aunt Qin has never been to school, but she has heard a saying, "Money can move people's hearts."
Qin San also considered what Aunt Qin thought of.
He moved, quietly stretched out a hand to hook Qin Sanfulang's little finger, and asked softly: "Are you asleep?"
It was impossible to fall asleep.
Qin Sanfulang was still very happy at this moment, "No, what's the matter?"
"Brother Feng, I will be able to earn 600 coins every day in the future, and I will give this money to my mother. What do you think about this?" Qin San knew that his husband was soft-hearted, but for some things, knowing is one thing, and he had to ask. Maybe Zhao Feng had other ideas about this matter.
Qin Sanfulang laughed, "That's all you're thinking about! Just pay what you owe. I know what you're worried about. Half of your job belongs to Second Brother. Besides, you and Yunfan work in the field, protected from the elements. Second Brother is at home tending to the crops, and it's no easier than yours. He can't make six hundred coins a month, but the rice we eat and the sweet potatoes we feed our pigs all come from the fields. All the money he earns is grain. I know that, so don't worry about me thinking too much."
Everyone in the Qin family is a good person, and Qin Ersao is also a good person. When Qin Sanfu gave birth to Sandan, it was a sudden attack, and Aunt Qin was in a panic. After the child was born, it was Qin Ersao who took Sandan to her room to take care of him.
In ancient times, the confinement period after childbirth was not like it is now. People could not go back to work until the full month or forty years.
The villagers don’t care about so many things. As long as they can move around well, they can do whatever they need to do.
If you don’t have the conditions, after giving birth to a child, you have to do all the work at home and in the fields.
Aunt Qin made Mr. Qin San stay in confinement for half a month. During this period, she and Mrs. Qin Er took turns taking care of Sandan. Mrs. Qin Er also took care of the housework. Mrs. Qin Da didn't even look at it, let alone help.
Qin Sanfu remembers the kindness of Qin Ersao.
On the other side, Qin Er also asked Qin Ersao, "Do you think I'm useless? Or do you have any objection to me giving the job to Lao San?"
Mrs. Qin closed her eyes to rest without even opening them. "What can I object to? We are all family after all. You know better than me what kind of people the Third Brother and Feng Ge'er are. I treat them as my younger brothers. If my younger brother is successful and can make money, I will be happy for them even if I can't benefit from it."
Qin Er laughed out loud, "My wife is so nice. No wonder our Qin family is so harmonious after marrying you."
If he married someone like Fang Cuicui, he would probably have a headache.
Fang Hunter's family.
Fang Yi suddenly had a job and could earn 600 wen a month. The Fang family was so happy that they couldn't sleep that night.
Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang even decided to order more dishes the next day. When Xu Yunfan's canteen opened, a lot of dishes would be needed, and it would cost a lot of money just to buy the dishes. As they were two old people and couldn't help with other things, they could only order more dishes and send them to Xu Yunfan later. It would be good to save a little.
They say that you only know who you love when you are drunk, and you only know who treats you best when you are broke.
Since ancient times, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance. There is a reason why Xu Yunfan is willing to pull these three companies together. He is also at ease using such people.
A few days later, the time agreed with Qi Xiu Ze and others arrived, and Xu Yunfan set off for the town.
It is true that Qi Xiu Ze and his men have no money, but their power and status are there. For them, getting a manager like Wang is a piece of cake.
Even if the vice-president wanted to protect Shopkeeper Wang, with Qi Xiu Ze and the other three putting pressure on him in turns, even if the vice-president was not afraid of Qi Xiu Ze and the other three, could he dare not take the people behind them seriously?
Several people agreed to meet at the gate of the college. When they arrived at the gate of Qingfeng Academy, Xu Yunfan discovered that the person standing at the gate was not Zhang Dahe, but another young man.
"Has the gatekeeper of your academy been replaced?"
"Replace him. That Zhang Dahe talks too much. If we don't replace him, will we keep him around to cause trouble?" Through Shen Ruxi's investigation, he found out that Wang, the shopkeeper of Qingyu Inn, would cause trouble for Xu Yunfan, or it was Zhang Dahe who made the connection. How could he dare to touch his recognized brother? Could Shen Ruxi tolerate this?
Anyway, it doesn’t matter to Xu Yunfan who the security guard of Qingfeng Academy is. The only thing he cares about now is how Qi Xiuru and the others are doing with the cafeteria.
Qi Xiu Ze patted his chest and said, "Are you still worried about the brothers doing their job? The dean said that tomorrow is the time for the students to go on vacation. You have to prepare meals for the students the day after tomorrow."
Shen Ruxi and the others had someone behind them, openly pressuring the vice-president in the academy. This showed that they didn't take Jiang Lanfang seriously. The four of them had originally prepared to discuss the matter with Jiang Lanfang, but when Jiang Lanfang heard that it was about Xu Yunfan, he simply waved his hand and said, "You guys can handle it. If he wants to do it, then do it. But you should tell him a message. Ask him what he thinks about what I told him earlier."
"The above words are what the dean asked us to ask you, Yunfan. What did the dean ask you to consider?" Lin Xiaoran was very curious about this.
Xu Yunfan raised his chin, a little proud, "Guess?"
Shen Ruxi looked at Xu Yunfan and stiffened his fists inexplicably. "Guess what? If we could guess, why would we ask you? Just tell me now and stop keeping us in suspense."
"It's nothing, just a trivial matter not worth mentioning."
Xu Yunfan waved his hand. "Your dean knows that I'm extremely knowledgeable and a rare talent, so he wanted to invite me to your academy to be a teacher. I refused at first, but he felt that if I didn't join the academy, it would be a waste of talent. He kept asking me to come, and since your dean seemed so sincere, it was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so I reluctantly agreed."
Qi Xiu Ze: “…”
Lin Xiaoran: “…”
Shen Ruxi: “…”
Xie Baizhou: “…”
The four of them were speechless for a while, and finally they all looked up at the sky in tacit understanding.
It's really strange. There are no cows flying in the sky, so how can Xu Yunfan brag so much?
"Brother, you're bragging too much." Qi Xiu Ze knew that Xu Yunfan had some abilities, but could his abilities be so great that Jiang Lanfang would invite him to be a teacher?
I guess that’s not possible.
If Xu Yunfan is really that powerful as he said, wouldn't it make them look useless if the four of them were hanging out with him?
Xu Yunfan was very serious. "I'm bragging? What good can I get from lying to you about this? You'll know whether I'm bragging or not when I become your teacher. No matter how much I say now, you might not believe me."
Seeing that the four of them were still in a trance, Xu Yunfan said nothing more and took out a few bags of candy from his backpack. "Here, these are the candies you asked for. These four are yours."
Lin Xiaoran mechanically took the small portion and was actually in the mood to count them. He and Xu Yunfan had ordered 100 candies.
There was no other way. He and Lin Xiaoran wanted to buy more, but Xu Yunfan refused to agree. "No, I don't have much candy. This stuff is not easy to make. You can look for it in Dayan Dynasty. If you can find candy as beautiful and sweet as mine, I will pay you back ten times the amount of silver I charge you. This stuff is not easy to make. Since you are my brothers, I can only sell you 100 pieces a month."
It’s not that Xu Yunfan doesn’t want to sell or make money, but he really lets Lin Xiaoran and the others buy them. He is afraid that what he produces will not be enough for them to buy.
Sugar is a rare commodity here, and Xu Yunfan doesn't want to be monopolized by the three of them.
Lin Xiaoran counted them and found that the number was wrong, "Yunfan, you gave me too many. I have 130 here."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiu Ze, Shen Ruxi and Xie Baizhou hurriedly took their own portions and started counting.
At this time, for foodies, who would remember whether he was a master or not? Eating is definitely more important.
Xu Yunfan gave Lin Xiaoran thirty more pills. If they didn't have them, Xu Yunfan would definitely be beaten up by them.
Everything must be kept fair. If Xu Yunfan doesn't get beaten for "sowing discord" between the brothers, who will?
Anyway, they will never admit it, they are simply mentally unbalanced.
Fortunately, Xu Yunfan was still capable. They also had 130 candies. Qi Xiu Ze rewrapped the candies with satisfaction and stuffed them into his shirt. He patted Xu Yunfan on the shoulder like a brother and said, "You are worthy of being brothers. Next time you have something good, remember us!"
Xu Yunfan, like a good brother, put his hand on Qi Xiu Ze's shoulder: "It's a must, we are all brothers."
At this time, Xu Yunfan didn't know how big a sensation the candy he made caused in the college.
The canteen has been confirmed to be taken over and work will start the day after tomorrow. The first thing Xu Yunfan did when he returned to the village was to tell Aunt Qin and the others that everyone would go to work together the day after tomorrow.
Qin Mu knew what the things Xu Yunfan customized, that is, what the tableware Xu Yunfan mentioned was used for. He worked overtime for several days to make more than a hundred pieces of tableware.
"Don't worry. I'll use plates instead until enough tableware is prepared." Xu Yunfan was not in a hurry at all. If he used plates, the food and dishes would be put together. Some people would think that the rice and soup were dirty, and the vegetable juices would be mixed together, which would have some flavor.
But the tableware hasn’t been made yet, so I can only try to appease them and wait for a few days.
They will start work the day after tomorrow. Aunt Qin and the others are happy and excited. Of course, they are also nervous. After all, those are the places where students stay. They are afraid of doing something wrong and upsetting the students, which will also make Xu Yunfan embarrassed.
"Yunfan, I have something to discuss with you." Qin Run had an idea when he learned that he would go to work at the academy the day after tomorrow and the customized tableware was not yet ready.
Xu Yunfan sat on a stool like a master, with his long, straight legs draped over another. Qin An and Xiao Ye were like two servants, one massaging his shoulders and the other his legs, making Xu Yunfan feel like a master. "Tell me, what is our relationship? Just say it if you have something to say."
Qin Run took a stool and sat next to Xu Yunfan. Seeing him enjoying himself with half-closed eyes, he found it inexplicably funny. "The tableware you mentioned hasn't been prepared yet. The students can only eat with large bowls..."
It felt like what Qin Run wanted to say was exactly what Xu Yunfan was thinking, "Don't worry."
After finishing speaking, Xu Yunfan suddenly opened his eyes, "Run'er, how do you think we should solve this problem?"
After I become a teacher, Qin Run will be fully responsible for the canteen affairs.
In recent days, Qin Run has learned some knowledge about management, accounting, etc. from him. Xu Yunfan found that Qin Run learns things really fast and is almost catching up with himself.
However, considering that Qin Run only mastered the basic theory and had not yet put it into practice, Xu Yunfan would definitely be in charge when the canteen opened.
Now, Qin Run can start trying.
Qin Run thought for a moment and said, "We've already handed the order to Uncle Qin Mu. It wouldn't be appropriate to look for other carpenters. Some of the students at Qingfeng Academy come from wealthy and powerful families, so they certainly don't like eating out of a large bowl. But we can't solve this problem in the short term, so I think we can find a way to appease them and ask them to be patient for a few days."
Seeing that the eldest brother was discussing something with his brother-in-law, Qin An and Xiao Ye were very quiet and "diligently" giving Xu Yunfan a massage.
Xu Yunfan half-closed his eyes in enjoyment again, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Yunfan, don't we have some candy stored?"
"Well, you're trying to appease them with candy?"
"Yeah." Qin Run nodded. He really thought so. "Although some students in the academy have no shortage of money and candy, and don't even crave them, the candy you make is different."
The brown sugar sold in the shops in the town is in blocks, while the white sugar is in small pieces. There is no question of whether it looks good or not.
As for other foods made with sugar, Qin Run had never eaten them, but he had seen others eat them. Those things were not as good-looking as the candies made by Xu Yunfan.
Besides, for some people, eating or not is one thing, what’s important is the novelty of it.
"Didn't Qi Xiu Ze and the others say that many students wanted to buy candy from you? So, we could give them one candy a day as a token of our appeasement. What do you think?"
Qin Run said this not because he was generous, but because he was worried that if they did not do well, other students would have opinions. Qi Xiu Ze and the others could help Xu Yunfan, so whether it was Xu Yunfan or him, they had to save Qi Xiu Ze and the others' face.
In the past few days, Xu Yunfan has been picking candies every day, and now he has pushed several large bags into the woodshed.
Xu Yunfan agreed with Qin Run's idea. "What you said is feasible. I've thought about it before. Good wine needs no bush. However, the food is delicious, but the tableware is so dirty. People will think there's something wrong with our attitude. Your idea is great. Although hundreds of people may go to Tang every day, it won't be a loss for us. After all, they will be our regular customers in the future."
"Yes, I think so too." Qin Run reached out and pinched Xu Yunfan's arm. "You will have to work hard the day after tomorrow. I will learn the skills you taught me as soon as possible so that you can relax a little."
"Brother-in-law, are you and your elder brother going to work?" Qin An asked suddenly. He was a little sad. Brother-in-law and his elder brother were gone. Although Xiao Ye was with him, he still felt very sad. It was as if something was missing in the family without Brother-in-law and his elder brother.
Xiao Ye understood, and like Qin An, he looked at Xu Yunfan eagerly, with doubt and uneasiness clearly visible on his face. "Pot...Pot husband..."
Being looked at by the two children with such dependence, Xu Yunfan sat up straight, pulled the two children to him, and stroked their heads in turn, "Don't worry, brother-in-law is going to work, and he won't leave you alone at home. When the time comes, we will go together."
Xu Yunfan thought it was awesome. He owned the cafeteria and was the boss. All the people working there were his own people. So what was wrong with him taking his two children with him?
Hearing this, Qin An was delighted. He squatted at Xu Yunfan's feet and put his head on his knees. He was distressed again: "Brother, if I go, what will happen to the chickens and piglets at home?"
Qin Run also asked: "Can we really take them there?"
Qin Run couldn't feel at ease leaving the two children alone at home for a whole day.
