"Hey, shopkeeper, wait a minute!"
After Hua Qingcheng decided to help the worker choose, she was about to turn around and go in, but was stopped by the beautiful lame woman.
"No matter what the final result is, I, Zhou Yu, hope that the shopkeeper can give me a chance to prove my ability. Even if I am not selected in the end, it doesn't matter. After all, at least I have tried my best."
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng glanced at the woman. The resolute and confident look in her eyes made her look at her with admiration.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance."
Hua Qingcheng brought her to the kitchen and told Yu Xiaotian to go to the backyard and get some meat and vegetables. When Hua Qingcheng saw the woman's skilled knife skills, her skillful flipping skills, and the delicious taste of the dishes she made, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, as if she had found a treasure.
"Not bad! But we don't sell dishes in our store right now. Our main products are iced drinks and some snacks."
Hearing Hua Qingcheng's words, the woman frowned slightly and seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then she said, "It's okay. I already know how to make some snacks. As for the things I don't know, I can learn them."
"You're hired."
Hua Qingcheng didn't mind giving motivated individuals a chance. After the five hired employees signed their contracts, she put them to work. Zhou Yu, Zhang San, and Li Si were assigned to kitchen duties, while Wang Wu and Chen Liu handled miscellaneous tasks. She broke down the steps for making iced drinks and taught them to the three kitchen staff individually, with each person responsible for just one step.
After adding five helpers, Yu Xiaotian supervised them in the kitchen for two days and they were able to start working skillfully. Situ Ye was mainly responsible for the cashier, and Han Yichen was also rescued from the busy work.
Mulan Jin was in charge of the work in the fields, Mu Lige and Yu Xiaotian were in charge of the house, and Situ Ye and Han Yichen were in charge of the shop. As a result, Hua Qingcheng also had time and energy to supply ice cubes, iced drinks, snacks, etc. directly to restaurants, eateries and the homes of some wealthy people.
On July 14, Hua Qingcheng harvested the first batch of peppers she had planted in the space and her own vegetable garden, and began to supply peppers and chili sauce to Feng Manlou.
On the afternoon of July 15th, Hua Qingcheng finished her work early and returned to her shop in Yunshui Town. In the evening, Hua Qingcheng took Situ Ye and Han Yichen on a carriage back home.
There is also such a legend in Laifeng Kingdom that July 15th is the Zhongyuan Festival, which is the day when the Ghost Gate opens.
As Hua Qingcheng, Situ Ye, and Han Yichen rode in their carriage toward Huaqiao Village, many people lined the streets, lighting incense and candles. The atmosphere was solemn and eerie. The children had been taken home early and were not allowed to wander around that night.
"Wife...wife master!"
In the carriage, Situ Ye closed his eyes and held Hua Qingcheng's arm tightly. He, Situ Ye, was not afraid of anything except ghosts!
Looking at Situ Ye's tall figure of nearly 1.9 meters, and the fact that he was afraid of the dark and ghosts, Hua Qingcheng felt both amused and distressed.
"It's okay, I'm here!"
Situ Ye leaned against Hua Qingcheng, and Hua Qingcheng hugged him tightly.
Han Yichen was speechless and jumped directly from the carriage onto the shaft outside. The atmosphere was already strange enough today. If passersby saw that their carriage could actually be driven without a driver, they would probably be terrified. So he decided to be merciful and become a tool and return to being the coachman!
"Wife, you're back!"
As soon as Hua Qingcheng returned to the Hua family's old house, Yu Xiaotian came out to greet them. After putting everything in order, Yu Xiaotian fed the horses with straw, then returned to the kitchen, brought the food to the main hall, and invited everyone to eat together.
When Hua Qingcheng was having dinner with her husband at home, a low-key and luxurious carriage also set out from Chengfeng Villa in Baishui Town and was driving towards Huaqiao Village with a "da da da" sound.
"Young Master, how are you feeling?"
"Skinny monkey, hurry up! Hurry up!"
Lai Bao looked at Si Chengfeng, who was shivering from the cold. Although he was extremely worried, he was powerless to do anything. He could only wrap the quilt around Si Chengfeng more tightly and urge Shou Hou to hurry to Huaqiao Village. Although the young master's cold attack was delayed this month, it was inevitable that it would come back.
Under the bright moonlight, a horse-drawn carriage sped through the empty, cold night, filled with the aroma of incense and the occasional flutter of gold ingots. The whirring sound of the wind added a touch of eerie atmosphere to the night of the Ghost Festival.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Hua Qingcheng, her husbands, and Mu Lanjin, who had just finished dinner at the Hua family's old house, suddenly heard a series of rapid knocks on the door. Furthermore, these knocks were mixed with shouts and cries. Situ Ye was so frightened that goose bumps appeared all over his body. His hands trembled tightly as he clasped the arm of Mu Lige, who was sitting next to him.
"Don't worry, it's someone coming, not a ghost."
Seeing Situ Ye so frightened, Mu Lige had no choice but to offer words of comfort. In Mu Lige's eyes, the human heart was often scarier than ghosts. The ghost never hurt you in the slightest, but the human took half your life!
"Who is it?"
Hua Qingcheng asked the people outside through the courtyard gate.
"Miss Qingcheng, I'm Skinny Monkey."
Skinny monkey? So, Sichengfeng is coming?
Hua Qingcheng immediately opened the gate and saw the tall, strong and fat figure of Skinny Monkey.
"Where's Si Chengfeng?"
"The young master is in the carriage!"
Lai Bao also jumped off the carriage and came to Hua Qingcheng.
"Ride the wind!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng rushed out of the courtyard and ran towards the carriage outside. Unless it was absolutely necessary, given Si Chengfeng's attitude towards her, it was impossible for him to come here and avoid her.
