The old man clutched the silver that Su Muyao handed him tightly.
They've already taken over the property and are about to open for business.
If I say something unpleasant, I should just consider it bad luck.
I sell these handmade woven items here, but very few people actually buy them.
Most ordinary farmers can weave their own, so no one is willing to pay money to buy them.
He often returned empty-handed, and his eldest son broke his leg after encountering a wild animal while climbing the mountain.
The family has several children who are not yet grown up, and they all rely on me to earn this little bit of money.
The land is only three and a half acres, barely enough for this old family to eat.
If someone gets a headache or fever, they just have to tough it out.
The rich young lady in front of me is really wealthy; she actually gave me this silver ingot directly.
I must buy some meat for my grandchildren when I get home today.
I'm sure those grandsons will be overjoyed.
After making the reservation, Su Muyao left.
The old man then began to pack up his stall.
For him, making the bamboo skewers the little girl wanted was the most important thing.
Moreover, these bamboo skewers are quite easy to make; all you need to do is shave the bamboo into a flat piece.
Find a fixed blade and pull it forward from the beginning.
If you keep doing this, you'll soon see thin skewers.
The old man was thinking as he tidied up his stall. After he finished tidying up...
Then, in high spirits, he went to the pork seller and bought half a pound of pork.
I was overjoyed.
Su Muyao led these people to her restaurant.
Of the several women, Su Muyao only remembered the name of the first person she met, Cuizhu.
The two people behind them were called Big Flower and Second Flower.
The remaining women hadn't introduced themselves yet, but Su Muyao didn't take it seriously; she'd see if they could do it first.
By this time, the men in the restaurant had already cleaned every nook and cranny, and were now sitting together resting.
Upon seeing the little princess return, he quickly stood up and glanced at the women behind her, thinking they must be the ones who had come looking for her.
After the princess left, the men tried wearing the vegetables again.
This job was really too difficult for these men.
The cauliflower-shaped garment was loosely draped; it would practically fall off if you picked it up.
The little princess taught them how to roll tofu sheets, but their attempts were either too loose or the filling fell out.
Or it might be inserted asymmetrically.
In short, they made a complete fool of themselves, and in order not to waste the ingredients, the men quickly stopped what they were doing.
Then they all went to the side to rest.
When Su Muyao returned, she naturally noticed the mess on the table.
Indeed, this kind of work is really not suitable for these men, especially since these men have always been doing those rough and unskilled jobs.
They were either moving things or going up the mountain to chop firewood and farm.
Su Muyao, after bringing these people over, let them wash their hands first.
After the women finished washing their hands, they began to explain: "Your daily work involves wearing these vegetables and meats."
Occasionally, when things get busy at the front, I need to go over and lend a hand.
Su Muyao didn't want to talk about salary yet; she wanted to see if these people could learn it first.
Normally, skewering is relatively simple; you can learn it in no time.
But these things are rare, and many people don't have the patience for them.
They feel they can't do it as soon as they try, like some of the long-term employees in their own store.
Su Muyao picked up the tofu skin: "This thing is called tofu skin, it's a bean product. Every time you take it out and wash it, cut it into this size."
As Su Muyao spoke, she began to work with her hands. The women watched closely, afraid that they might miss something.
Then, Su Muyao said, "This is called chives, I believe you all know it, this is called enoki mushrooms, and this is called cilantro."
Shape these things to roughly this size, then place them at the very edge of the tofu skin, and roll them forward like this.
Try to roll it as tightly as possible so that it won't unravel after the bamboo skewer is inserted.
These women are quite adept at it; I'll learn from them.
Su Muyao was quite satisfied with them.
The rolls from these people all look pretty good (′?｀*)
The men started discussing it.
"Women are indeed more meticulous; that kind of thing is really not suitable for us roughnecks."
Su Muyao took out a cabbage, made a few cuts, and then taught them how to thread the cabbage through the skewer.
"For cabbages like this, wash them after you've finished skewering them."
There's also this kind of bok choy; you only need to skewer three leaves onto one skewer.
First, hold this end of the enoki mushroom upright, then cut it into pieces about this thickness.
These people observed carefully and ended up working on it for most of the day.
Su Muyao taught them how to wear everything.
At first, two of the women would often accidentally poke their fingers.
Every time I poked my finger, I didn't dare to say a word, for fear that the little princess would say I was stupid.
What if the little princess feels she can't handle it and doesn't want them anymore?
Although it is still unknown how much money the little princess will give them each month.
But what about it? It shouldn't be much different from other places, so these people all want to stay.
Only Cuizhu was from the capital; all the other wealthy people were from nearby villages.
They said they worked for the young princess and had to get up early every day to take an oxcart.
I'll probably have to walk back home tonight.
On the way there, the little princess mentioned that she worked at a restaurant near him and that it might be open very late at night.
This is somewhat of a challenge for these people.
But if the little princess is willing, they can simply sleep a little less each day.
Su Muyao mainly taught these men how to cut beef and mutton.
"You can also cut your pork into thick slices, skewer them, and grill them; they sizzle and smell delicious."
The men, seeing that the little princess had finally brought them back to life, jumped up.
If the little princess doesn't teach them, they'll all feel like they're useless.
"Little princess, is this beef really safe to cook?"
One of the men hesitated for a moment, but eventually asked what was on his mind.
In ancient times, only cattle that died of disease or old age could be eaten.
Of course, if they were members of the royal family, it was none of their business.
But the little princess had a lot of beef in her freezer, which seemed to be meant to be sold to the diners.
Su Muyao then said, "The price of these beef skewers will be a bit higher. Just say that the little princess specially imported the slaughtered beef from another country."
Upon hearing Su Muyao's words, everyone nodded in unison.
