After treating someone to a good night's sleep, the scoundrel was refreshed the next day, but Yang Cui couldn't get up.
Huddled in bed, Yang Cui couldn't help but sigh: This kind of thing is really enjoyable, but it's just too tiring. Four times a night, who can handle that?
That bastard can actually get up early; his body is really strong.
When Yang Cui got up, it was already past 9 AM. The kitchen had been preparing food for her. Just as she sat down to eat breakfast, her aunt, Madam Wen, came over.
"You're finally up."
Hearing this, Yang Cui's face turned red.
Wen smiled and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We've all been through this. But you've been married for quite a while now, so is there any sign of pregnancy?"
"Huh? Not yet." Yang Cui didn't tell her that the couple had no plans to have children at the moment.
"Still no news? But don't worry, many couples get married and only have children after two or three years. If you want to have a baby sooner, I'll have someone get you some medicine that will guarantee you a son."
"Then there's no need. Let nature take its course. We haven't been married long."
"Guaranteed to give birth to a son? Don't get sick from eating it." Yang Cui knew that people in ancient times were superstitious, especially about this.
Yang Cui didn't want to continue the topic and asked, "Did your aunt come over today for something?"
"Here's the thing, aren't you looking to hire pastry apprentices? My nephews and nieces are all hardworking people, could you hire them? You can't always think of the Zhou family when it comes to good things."
Yang Cui thought he came about Xiao Jiang's matter, but she didn't expect it to be about the pastry apprenticeship.
How old are you?
“My eldest nephew is sixteen, his wife is fifteen, my youngest nephew is fourteen, and my niece is thirteen.”
"Bring the person here tomorrow so I can take a look. If they're suitable, I'll keep them. But Aunt, let me make this clear: if they don't perform well, I'll handle it strictly. Don't blame me for hurting our relationship then."
"I know, don't worry, the kids are all honest people, they can do anything at home, they're very quick."
Having received confirmation, Madam Wen prepared to go to her parents' home to bring her niece and son, but Yang Cui stopped her: "Aunt, don't rush. I have something to ask you. Has the matter between Xiao Jiang and Gao Xiaoyu been resolved?"
Mentioning this, Madam Wen's expression changed. She said, "It's resolved. Xiao Jiang is fixated on that girl from the Deng family. Wouldn't Xiao Yu suffer a loss? Although my eldest sister was right first, Xiao Yu ultimately lost her virginity to him, and she refuses to take responsibility. I had no choice but to give Xiao Yu two taels of silver as her dowry for her future marriage."
A million thoughts raced through Yang Cui's mind.
It's obvious she was framed and schemed against, and she even had to pay the other party money. Is this cheap aunt a saint reincarnated?
"Aunt, are you sure Gao Xiaoyu and her daughter are just going to let it go like this?" They were so desperate back then, but now they're being settled for just two taels of silver. Yang Cui finds it hard to believe.
"What else can we do? They've already taken the money and assured me there won't be any problems, so don't worry. I'm leaving now; I'll go to my parents' house and bring my nephew and niece over for you to see."
After saying that, Wen left in a hurry.
Wen said the matter was resolved, so Yang Cui stopped paying attention to it.
After eating and drinking her fill, Yang Cui went to the rice noodle factory. Because of the good pay, the workers were very obedient, the team had a strong sense of cohesion, and Hu Binzi was also very diligent and responsible. Yang Cui now had much less to worry about.
However, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing; she still came to the factory every day.
"Mr. Yang, I heard you're planning to open a pastry shop."
"What, who in your family do you want to introduce to us? Let me make this clear, I don't want someone who's dishonest or lazy."
The implication is that there's potential.
Hu Binzi was also excited. He knew how good the treatment was at Yang Cui's place. Who wouldn't want to come?
Ever since the news spread that Yang Cui was going to open a pastry shop and recruit apprentices, many people have come to her door.
“It’s my wife and my younger brother and sister. How about I call them over tomorrow so you can take a look? If you don’t think it’s suitable, I’ll let them go back.”
"Okay, have them come over tomorrow, I'll conduct a group interview."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Yang." Hu Binzi was overjoyed.
The next day, Yang Cui met Wen's nephews and nieces, as well as Hu Binzi's wife, younger brother, and younger sister. They were all very nervous when they saw Yang Cui, and Yang Cui chatted with them while observing them.
Yang Cui was very satisfied with Hu Binzi's family. It wasn't that Yang Cui looked down on the villagers, but the reality was that the villagers did a lot of farm work and were not very particular about hygiene. However, Hu Binzi's wife, brother, and sister-in-law were all very clean, with not a single speck of dirt under their fingernails.
The first and foremost principle in food preparation is hygiene.
"You three, plus Wen Shuishui, the four of you can go back and prepare. Report back in two days."
"ah?"
Those who were called out were stunned, especially Hu Binzi's family, who never expected that Yang Cui would keep all three of them!
The whole family has jobs; that must be a huge source of income!
"Thank you, Mr. Yang," Wen Shuishui said, mustering her courage.
"Very good, you're bold enough and seem clever. If you pass the training, we'll arrange for you to work in the shop selling goods."
Wen Shuishui's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then does that mean I also have a chance to become a shopkeeper?"
Wen Shuishui was particularly envious of An Xiaojiang for being able to work in the shop. She heard that An Xiaojiang would become the shopkeeper in the future, and how prestigious that was! Wen Shuishui wanted to be one too.
"You still want to be the manager? Why don't you just fly to the moon?" Madam Wen said irritably.
Yang Cui smiled and said, "Auntie, don't discourage the child's enthusiasm. Every child's dream should be respected. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Wen Shuishui, there is an opportunity. It depends on whether you can seize it. You and Xiao Jiang are about the same age. Let's see who becomes the manager first."
What dreams? What respect? Wen Shuishui didn't understand these things. He only knew that Yang Cui didn't laugh at his unrealistic ideas and even said that he could be the manager. Hearing these words, he felt strange and couldn't describe the feeling, but his desire to be the manager became even stronger.
Upon hearing that Yang Cui had only kept Wen Shuishui, Fang Xiaoxiao, the niece-in-law of Wen's maternal family, objected, saying, "Sister, we are all relatives. How come you kept outsiders but not us?"
Hu Binzi's family members felt somewhat embarrassed and looked at Yang Cui with some trepidation upon hearing this.
"I can use whomever I want? Do I need your permission?"
Fang Xiaoxiao choked for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly, "That's not what I meant..."
"Whatever your meaning, please leave."
Fang Xiaoxiao didn't expect Yang Cui to be so ruthless. Being young, her eyes immediately reddened.
Knowing that Yang Cui was a woman of her word, and that she had already been asked to leave, Wen Shi felt it was inappropriate to keep them any longer, so she left with the rest of them.
After leaving Yang Cui's house, Fang Xiaoxiao lashed out at Wen Linmu: "Are you a blockhead? How can you be so useless? You're not even as good as a child!"
The child was obviously referring to Wen Shuishui. After speaking, he glared at Wen Shuishui, thinking that Wen Shuishui was deliberately trying to outdo them. How come he hadn't noticed before that she was so cunning at such a young age?
