Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Su Li once again...
When Su Li heard from Li Chunhua again, she had already married. She did not marry the lame old man that Liu had wanted her to see, but she found a bachelor in Dawang Village and married him. Su Li knew the bachelor. He was Zhu Laosi, who used to like to come to the dock to buy Su Li's food. He earned 30 cents a day and could spend 20 cents on food. He always said that he might die at any time, so he might as well enjoy himself while he could.
So after a long time, Su Li got to know him.
I didn't expect Sister Chunhua to marry him? When did these two meet?
"I heard that the girl from the Li family met him when she went to sell fruit at the dock. That person helped her." Lu sat outside the shop, eating melon seeds and chatting with Chen and others.
Chen, "Then Liu isn't angry?"
Mrs. Lu threw the melon seed shells on the ground. "She was so angry! She made Mrs. Liu so angry that she threw away all the pots and spatulas in the house."
Mrs. Mo said, "Haha, just throw it away. Now no one will pick it up for her." Everyone in the village knew that Mrs. Liu liked to throw things away when she was angry, but she was not stupid. She would only pick out things that could not be broken, and then ask her daughter to pick them up after throwing them away, just like teasing a puppy.
Jiang: "Yeah, hahaha."
Chen,
"But is Liu willing to do it?"
"How could I possibly do that? I went to the Zhu family and made a scene, and I went to the village head and made a scene, but the matter was already settled, so what was the point? Besides, Zhu Laosi's parents had died a long time ago, and he still had an uncle, but who would pay for him? So in the end, no one cared about it."
It was a rare opportunity for Chen and the others to see Liu suffer a loss, so they were very happy to hear that. In addition, they really couldn't stand the behavior of selling their daughter to the old cripple. Now they knew that the girl from the Li family had found a home for herself. Although she was a bachelor, she was not particularly old and had all her hands and feet. As long as the couple worked together, they would not be afraid of having a bad life.
Well, I guess there will be a lot of gossip in the village, but as long as you ignore it, it won’t be a big deal after a long time. After all, you live your life for yourself and it has nothing to do with others.
But their worries were unnecessary, because Li Chunhua came to find Su Li not long after she got married.
"Sister Ali, do you keep your word?" She was wearing a pink dress, which was obviously newly bought. She was not as depressed as before, and her eyes were full of anticipation for the future. That man must be nice to her.
"Of course it counts." Su Li was very happy to see such a brand new Sister Chunhua.
Li Chunhua was indeed happy to hear this, and then she started to talk about how her husband agreed to let her work here and was very nice to her. Su Li was also happy for her after hearing this.
Before leaving, she looked at Su Li and said, "Thank you, Sister Ali."
Su Li said, "You should thank yourself."
Thank yourself? Li Chunhua chewed over this sentence slowly in her heart.
Yes, she should thank herself! But she was also grateful to the girl in front of her. It was she who made her realize that she actually had other choices, but she just didn't realize it.
.
Including Li Chunhua, the restaurant had almost recruited all the staff. Su Li specially called Lu and asked her to train them, mainly teaching them how to receive guests, and then telling them some rules set by Su Li. Everyone listened very carefully.
After saying all this, he finally talked about the reward and punishment system. When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up a little more.
"As long as you work hard, the boss will definitely not treat you unfairly."
At this time, a waiter from the north spoke up, "Mrs. Lu, are you serious? If we work for three months, the clothes will really belong to us?"
"Really? It's not just the summer clothes. As long as you work hard, the boss will also give you winter coats."
Su Li thought about it. After all, working in a restaurant, she must be given uniform work clothes that can distinguish her from the guests. It is not really a benefit.
But this was like a huge pie in the sky for everyone. You have to know that ordinary families nowadays don't have the chance to buy new clothes throughout the year. They just wear the clothes that their older brothers and sisters have worn, or the whole family takes turns wearing the same clothes when going out. Where can they get the money? Take Lin Da who asked the question just now, for example. His family only has one decent piece of clothes, which is the one he is wearing. Every time he wears it out, his two younger brothers can only hide at home and cannot go out. They can only change clothes when he comes back.
That's why he was so happy to hear this.
If they could earn a few pieces of clothing by working in Su's Restaurant for a year, then all the brothers would have clothes to wear.
"And a coat?"
"Did you hear that? There's also a coat!"
"Boss, is what Madam Lu said true?" At this time, one of the women was a little unconvinced and asked Su Li who was not far away. Su Li nodded and said, "What Madam Lu said is true."
Only then did everyone believe it, and there was another round of noisy discussion. After the noise died down a little, Mrs. Lu began to talk about how whoever performed well would get more wages.
Actually, everyone didn’t quite understand this matter at first. It was only after Su Li explained it again that everyone realized that the wages were not just that, there would also be extra rewards!
This is too good to be true. This thought instantly popped up in everyone's mind.
But I was more happy and excited, and I couldn't wait to start working. Even a second late was a sign of respect for the money.
But the business cannot be opened yet, and we haven’t found anyone to write the storybooks yet!
You should know that in addition to being busy with various preparations for the restaurant, Su Li has been looking for a suitable person to write storybooks for the restaurant these days.
But such a person is not easy to find. After all, writing storybooks is not a glorious thing these days. Even if there are scholars who write them, they will not reveal themselves for fear of damaging their reputation. So after searching bookstores and some students she knows, Su Li still found nothing. Until now, Su Li even wants to find time to write it herself, but she has too many things to do and really has no time to write.
"I do have a candidate." Master Xing came to the restaurant at Su Li's invitation to try the food. He felt so comfortable sipping wine and eating food.
Su Li looked over in confusion. Old Master Xing took a sip of wine and grinned with satisfaction.
"That man's name is Xu Bai."
"Xu Bai?"
Su Li was puzzled.
Master Xing nodded, and then slowly told who Xu Bai was.
It turned out that this person was none other than the son of the two elderly people from whom Su Li had bought the shop before.
Old Master Xing sighed as he spoke. Speaking of Xu Bai, he was truly a man of talent who was envied by heaven. He passed the boy's exam at the age of fourteen and the scholar exam at the age of twenty. He had a bright future, but an accident ruined his bright future. From then on, he fell to the bottom and never recovered. The old man Xu and his wife got up early and went to bed late to sell wontons for the sake of their son's legs, and they looked for famous doctors for their son, but it was a pity that it was all in vain. A few years ago, Xu Bai's mother also began to feel unwell and needed money for treatment, so she sold the food shop to the Su family.
Su Li knew about it later, but she didn't know about it earlier.
But what does this have to do with the person she is looking for?
Master Xing seemed to see her confusion and started talking about Xu Bai.
It turned out that Xu Bai was born into a poor family, and his family was even poor because of the money he had to pay for his studies. So whenever he had free time, he would go to the bookstore to copy books to supplement his family income. It was because of this that when he was copying books, he learned that he could make money by writing storybooks, so he completely embarked on this path that was shameful for other students - writing storybooks, and later sold a few of them.
However, because it was dishonorable and disgraceful for a scholar to make a living by writing storybooks, he dared not let anyone know. Master Xing discovered it by chance when he was teaching him one day. However, Master Xing felt sorry for his poor family and did not tell anyone about it. He only told him not to write in school. As for whether he wrote again afterwards, Master Xing did not know.
After hearing this, Su Li thought about it and felt that it was indeed quite suitable. At least he had the experience and passion to defeat many other people.
But she is not familiar with this Xu Xuezi. If she says these things rashly, will he agree?
Su Li looked at Master Xing, "Master~"
Master Xing suddenly woke up and said, "Don't look at me like that."
It's scary.
"I know what you want to say. I can help you ask, but I can't guarantee what the result will be." After all, so many years have passed, and he has visited this former student before, but the other party has avoided him. Maybe it will be the same this time.
Su Li was very satisfied that Master Xing was willing to go, so she quickly stepped forward to flatter him and promised that if he succeeded, she would make him the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that he had always wanted to eat.
As expected, Master Xing was tempted, and he went to the Xu family the next day. He told Su Li the result in the afternoon. It turned out that Xu Bai agreed and said that he could give it a try.
This sentence was enough. Su Li quickly gave the other party an outline for the first two chapters and asked him to write it out.
Unexpectedly, Xu Bai was indeed a talented person. After he polished the pen, the boring storyline instantly came to life on paper. Su Li could even imagine how exciting the story would be if the storyteller told it according to the script.
So she did not hesitate and quickly signed a contract with the other party, asking him to expand the story outline she gave her into a storybook. At the same time, she also asked a storyteller to memorize the first two chapters and tell them on the opening day.
In this way, after almost a month of preparation, Su Ji Restaurant finally opened that day.
.
"Have you heard? That Suji Restaurant is opening today. All meals are 30% off the usual price, and there are free books to listen to, tea, and melon seeds."
"Su Ji Restaurant? Where is it? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"It was the Yaoyue Tower before, and now it has become the Suji Restaurant."
"I see, then what are you waiting for? Let's go now."
No one can resist the opportunity to get a good deal, and there are more than one such people. Many people, upon hearing that they can get free tea and listen to the instructions, called their friends and rushed to Su Ji Restaurant. Not to mention the opening day, there were really a lot of people coming, so crowded that the threshold of the restaurant was almost broken.
However, most people come here to take advantage of the food, and not many people come here for the food in the restaurant, so they don’t have much expectation for the food in the restaurant, and they are more of a desire to join in the fun.
Zuo San is such a person. His family runs a cloth shop and they have some money. However, because he has many brothers, he does not get much money every month, so he can only save money. There is a group of friends like him. After hearing that Su Ji Restaurant has opened, they decided to go there together. Except for Zhou Lao Er,
"You guys go ahead. If I don't go, will Su Ji Restaurant be as delicious as Xiang Man Lou? In my opinion, it's better to spend money on something worthwhile."
Zuo San, "How do you know Su Ji Restaurant is failing if you haven't even tried it?"
"I just know it anyway."
"Okay, then you don't go and we will go. Don't regret it." Zuo San was too lazy to talk to him.
"I won't regret it." They are the ones who should regret it, Zhou Laoer thought. They have delicious food and choose to eat at Su Ji, wasting money. If you don't believe me, just wait. It won't be long before they regret it and come back to find him.
Seeing this, Zuo Laosan stopped trying to persuade them and turned around and left with his men.
But after everyone came out, they all thought in their hearts that what Zhou Laoer said seemed to make sense. If the food in Su Ji Restaurant was really not delicious, then it would be a waste of money. After all, they had to spend a lot of money to come out for a meal, and then it would be gone.
Thinking of this, everyone wanted to go back.
But after all, he had just made a harsh statement and he couldn't go back immediately, so he could only bite the bullet and rush to Su Ji Restaurant.
