Chapter 426 Buying People and Houses
Ye Mingzhu sighed. "Even if someone else were to replace him, could he really manage the village well? Wu Jiang has been at the village for many years, and I'm currently using Wu Yue and Wu Tie. If Wu Jiang were to replace him, the new head of the village might not be able to manage the village well, and Wu Yue and Wu Tie would definitely be affected."
"For the sake of Wu Yue and Wu Tie, I'll give him one chance. If he does it again, the head of this village will definitely be replaced."
Jiang Hongyu felt that Ye Mingzhu was too soft-hearted.
Ye Mingzhu admitted this, but she was also responsible for this matter. She did not explain it clearly at the beginning, and only told Wu Jiang to go to Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu if he had any problems.
There was another main reason why she let Wu Jiang go. Wu Jiang was not a traitor and he did everything she asked him to do very well.
"Of course, I'm only giving Wu Jiang one chance. If he makes the same mistake again, I will definitely not forgive him."
Seeing that Ye Mingzhu had an idea, Jiang Hongyu didn't say anything more. At worst, if Wu Jiang really did something to offend Ye Mingzhu, he would take action again.
The two men spent some time at the farm, and it was already noon when they arrived at the county town.
They went to the restaurant for dinner first, and then went to Sweetheart Place.
Perhaps it was dinner time, as there were only one or two people choosing dim sum outside Sweetheart Place. After they left, Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu went forward.
"Give me the best dim sum you sell in your shop." Ye Mingzhu knocked on the counter.
Ruan Linlin cried out in surprise: "Boss, Boss is here."
She came out from the counter and walked inside with Ye Mingzhu. "Boss, you haven't been here for a long time. Wait a minute, I'll bring you a plate of freshly made snacks by Aunt Mo."
Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu went to sit in the inner compartment. Ruan Linlin came back and said, "Boss, have you eaten yet? Otherwise, I can cook two dishes for you."
"No need, we came here after dinner. We are not hungry. Don't bother." Ye Mingzhu took Ruan Linlin's hand and asked her to sit down.
Ruan Linlin just sat down when she jumped up again: "Boss, I'll get the account book for you to see. Business has been pretty good recently."
Ye Mingzhu couldn't stop her, so she let her go.
Soon, Ruan Linlin came back with two account books and pointed to the daily profits for her to see.
"Boss, I've looked around the county town and it's totally feasible for us to open another shop." Ruan Linlin's face was shining as she spoke, and she looked much more capable than before.
"Well, who will go to the new shop to make snacks?" The question raised by Ye Mingzhu is the core of opening a new shop.
"The dim sum Wu Tie has been making lately has been pretty good, but he's too young to run a shop. I'd prefer the owner hire him."
Ruan Linlin spoke these words as if she were reciting them from memory.
"Although the people in the village are obedient, not all of them have signed the indentures. Besides, they are all relatives and have connections with each other, which makes it difficult to manage them. It would be better to go to the pawnshop and buy some skilled cooks. The indentures of these people are in the hands of the owner, so it would be easier to manage them."
Ruan Linlin looked at Ye Mingzhu after she finished speaking and licked the corner of her mouth: "Boss, do you think it's okay?"
Ye Mingzhu smiled and shook her head. Ruan Linlin's eyes showed disappointment: "Is it not possible?"
"I didn't expect that you could think so comprehensively after such a short time." Ye Mingzhu nodded in appreciation: "Sister Linlin, have you already gone to the pawnshop to see someone?"
Ruan Linlin smiled sheepishly, "I went to the pawnshop to look for someone, but it's hard to find someone who knows how to cook, especially someone who can make dim sum. I've only found one recently. I was just about to write to you, wanting to buy that girl."
"Is the person you like not very old?" Ye Mingzhu asked.
It was because Ruan Linlin was not very old, and since she called her a girl, she must be even younger.
"That girl used to work in the kitchen. She was just sixteen years old this year. While working, she got a burn on her face. The owner thought it was bad luck, so he sold her."
"I asked the girl, and she said she had made some snacks before."
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "Since Sister Linlin likes her, why don't you buy her back? Such a good girl, aren't you afraid that someone else will buy her away?"
Ruan Linlin smiled bitterly: "If it was another girl, I'm afraid she would have been bought already, but this girl..."
She shook her head when she said this: "She has burns on her face and a lame leg. Even if she has some cooking skills, it's not easy to sell her. The price the dealer wants is not low, so she hasn't sold it yet."
Ye Mingzhu nodded, but didn't ask for the specific price. She only asked, "Aren't you afraid that she's lying when she says she can make dim sum?"
Ruan Linlin showed no hesitation: "I've already told the broker. If she dares to lie to me, he will sell her to a place she can't even imagine."
"Since Sister Linlin has taken a fancy to this girl, let's buy her first. However, the space in the backyard of Sweetheart Place is not big. If we add more people, I'm afraid it will be very crowded."
Ye Mingzhu thought for a moment and looked at Jiang Hongyu: "Why don't we buy a small courtyard in the county town? We can let the people in the shop live there, and when we come here in the future, we don't have to rush back to the manor."
Jiang Hongyu never cared about these matters and always let Ye Mingzhu make the decisions.
Ye Mingzhu quickly made the decision to hire people and buy a house.
"Sister Linlin, do you have anything to do later? Go buy that girl first, and then we'll go look at houses."
Ruan Linlin nodded: "When we have time, we have to take a break for an hour at noon every day. I can go buy that girl now."
Although she said that no one else would be interested in that girl, she was actually still a little worried.
"Okay, I'll get you some silver." Ye Mingzhu took out some silver from her purse and gave it to Ruan Linlin, and asked her to ask the pawnshop about a suitable place to open a shop and a new house.
Ruan Linlin hesitated a little: "Boss, I'm afraid I can't make the decision about this new shop and house."
"I didn't ask you to make the decision. I just asked you to go and check the situation. If you find anything good, stay here. We'll go do something else and come back in an hour."
Ruan Linlin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't wait to get up and said, "Then I'll go to the dental clinic now."
Ye Mingzhu asked her to go to the dental clinic first, and she went to ask Wu Yue to pack some snacks. On the way to the county government office, they bought a lot of cooked food.
When the gatekeeper of the county government saw the two men, he immediately sent someone in to inform them and then personally ushered them in: "Please sit inside, your Excellency. I have already sent someone to inform you."
Before they reached the door, Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou rushed over after hearing the noise.
Ye Yun'an threw himself into Jiang Hongyu's arms: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you here to pick me up? I haven't seen you for a long time."
Green Bean snuggled up to Ye Mingzhu and said, "Sister, I miss you."
