    The next day, set up a stall. Sure enough, the merchants, boat passengers, and diners who had heard about the unburnt pho yesterday became excited when their donkey carts appeared, and even urged Chen Nianguan to quickly set up a stall for speculation..

    Of course, Chen Nianguan is trying his best to meet the requirements of consumers.

    This day's hotness is even worse than yesterday's.

    All the budgeted 100 servings of fried rice noodles were sold out. As for the soup rice noodles, as Chen Nianguan expected, some diners who had tasted the fried rice noodles yesterday came here to eat soup rice noodles today.For those who want to eat rice noodles, people still ask if there is any soup rice noodles after all 50 servings of rice noodles are sold out.

    Therefore, the income on the second day will be 200 Wen.

    On the third day and the fourth day, there were more and more diners at the stall, and after watching the fun and tasting the pho, the number of diners who knew the taste was really delicious gradually increased, except for those who were attracted every day and who were impressed by the delicious foodThose who have become a regular source of customers, and those who are encouraged to come to the pier from the city to try new things, the business is very hot, and even the supply of 50 servings of noodle soup a day is in short supply.

    Six days later, Chen's mother and daughter would sell until noon every time they went out of the stall. They sold nearly 300 servings of pho every day, but the number of diners still did not decrease.

    One is that the anecdote of the unburnt hor fun brought by the fire show is still fermenting. People from the neighboring county, nearby towns and villages all come to the pier to see what happened.

    Secondly, pho is a new thing. Even the merchants who travel all over the world, most of them are trying it for the first time. The appearance of pho is so good that many people who have been mainly noodle dishes want to change their taste.

    Third, it is natural that no matter soup rice noodles or fried rice noodles, they are all delicious, which naturally retains many customers.

    These days, both Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi fell asleep with laughter.

    They didn't expect the business of rice noodles to be so good.

    Now when they open their eyes, they rush to drive the donkeys to grind the rice milk to make pho, ready to go to the stall. After the pho is ready, they quickly pull it to the pier stall, and there are people queuing up, so they don't worry about not being able to sell it.

    After closing the stall, went to the market to buy the supplies needed for the next day and then came back, and ate whatever wanted to catch up on sleep.

    After waking up, it is time to prepare dinner and soak rice to prepare for the next morning.

    Freshen up after eating, take a short rest and then sleep with your eyes closed, and so on.

    Seeing more and more copper coins at home, the smiling faces of the two became brighter and brighter. Whether they were awake or asleep, their minds and eyes were full of copper coins. Until this day Xuan Xuan looked at them with a puffy face: "Aniang, sister, you ignore Xuanxuan, only big brother plays with me!"

    Big brother?

    Chen Nianguan and Mrs. Liu wanted to wonder where the elder brother came from, and they were stunned for a long time before they realized that, yes, there was a Zhang Yulang in his family, who was only focusing on making a living these days, and unexpectedly forgot about this character.

    Doing the math, he has been living at home for almost ten days, yet he still hasn't left?

    Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi exchanged a look, and they both fell on Xuan Xuan.

    No no no, he can't go now.

    He left, who will come to take care of his donkey cart and Xuan Xuan?

    Thinking of Zhang Yulang silently following them to the pier these days, moving around, doing whatever they asked, Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi were both embarrassed.

    "Well, from these days we can also see that Mr. Zhang is quite a good person."

    That's right, went in and out with them, and didn't complain when called them, let alone be a monster. The best thing is that he can take care of Xuan Xuan.

    She and Mrs. Liu are going to be busy, and they really don't have time to take care of the children, it's good to have people now.

    With him around, they can concentrate on making money.

    "Big Brother is good, but you guys are not nice to Big Brother at all." Xuan Xuan said angrily, "Big Brother has no clothes to wear, so he asked me to borrow money to buy them."

    borrow money?Is there such a thing?

    In the past few days, Chen Nianwan would grab a handful of copper coins and give them to his sister every time he came back from the booth. Sometimes there were more coins, sometimes less, and Zhang Yulang borrowed them all.

    Chen Nianguan felt a little guilty when he thought of Zhang Yulang's poverty.

    Such a good-looking handsome guy is reduced to asking his six-year-old little sister to borrow money to buy clothes. How miserable is he?

    Seeing that he has been working hard these days, shouldn't he also be paid a salary?

    At least, don't make the handsome guy unable to wear clothes?

    Looking at the increasingly cold weather outside, she finally had an idea in her mind.

    When Chen Nianguan went to the west chamber to look for Zhang Yulang, he saw him in the southwest corner of the yard, beating with a wooden plank he had dragged from nowhere.

    "what are you doing?"

    Hearing Chen Nianguan's voice, Zhang Yulang turned around, still holding a wooden board in his hand.

    "Isn't the weather going to be cold?" Zhang Yulang explained, looking at the donkey tied under the jujube tree, "I'm going to make a shed for it. The livestock that have to work every day will save it from freezing!"

    Chen Nianguan couldn't help being startled, seeing Zhang Yulang wearing a dusty and thin cotton coat, he felt rather uncomfortable.

    These days, in order to grind rice milk to make river noodles, the donkeys are often used. When they leave the stall, the donkeys are still pulled in and out. It can be said that the donkeys of the family are not without hard work.

    They didn't think about finding a place to put the donkey in before the weather turned cold, but he, an outsider, thought about it.

    Wouldn't it be something that hurts its kind?

    Thinking about it this way, Chen Nianguan felt more guilty towards Zhang Yulang: "Mr. Zhang's injury is healed? What are your plans?"

    When Zhang Yulang heard it, did he come to chase away the guests?

    The work he was originally working on slowly stopped, and then continued: "I am a homeless person, Miss Chen Si????? What do you think I have planned? If the girl is inconvenient here, I willFeel free to leave anytime."

    "You said you were homeless, where did you go?" Chen Nianguan wondered.

    "I..." Zhang Yulang paused, "I have inquired about it. There is a Town God's Temple outside the city. There are many homeless people who regard it as a foothold. I can also go there to rest for a while, and wait for me to find it.After work..."

    "What kind of work are you looking for?"

    "I know a few words, and I think it's okay to help people read and write letters. It's okay to find a family to be a teacher, or go to a shop in the city and ask if there is any job suitable for me." Zhang Yulang said lightly.

    "How do you calculate the wages?"

    Zhang Yulang glanced at Chen Nianguan, not understanding why she was asking such detailed questions when she wanted to drive him away.

    "It is enough to maintain food and clothing."

    "Then..." Chen Nianguan thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Zhang, would you like to stay and be our Chen family's buddy?"

    Zhang Yulang was startled, and turned to look at her again.

    "Young Master Zhang has also seen it in the past few days. My mother and I are busy making a living. In fact, we have limited manpower. We must thank Young Master Zhang for his help."

    Chen Nianguan didn't beat around the bush, and directly proposed, "Of course, we are a small business, and the monthly salary for Mr. Zhang may not be much, but Mr. Zhang's errands are also free, just like a few days ago, just help us take care of Xuan Xuan."

    The Chen family stall became popular day by day, and Zhang Yulang noticed it a little bit, but he didn't expect that she would actually hire him because of it.

    Zhang Yulang thought for a while, and there really was no better choice right now, so he nodded in agreement.

    In the end, Chen Nianguan paid Zhang Yulang 20 Wen a day to draft the contract, and gave him some silver taels to buy autumn and winter clothes for him.

    When Mrs. Liu heard that Chen Nianguan wanted Zhang Yulang to stay, she reluctantly agreed to let him stay, unlike her insistence on opposing it at the beginning.

    In fact, Mrs. Liu is only concerned about the reputation of the eldest daughter. For her, an older widow and little carrot-headed Xuan Xuan, having a young husband in the family is nothing.It would be rude for a man to come in.

    But Chen Nianguan didn't think so. With modern thinking, she thought that Zhang Erlang was just a tenant who lived in the same yard. There was no big problem. She explained Liu's a few words, and finally Liu had to say that the eldest daughter saidIt makes sense.

    Since know that this person is reliable and can take care of Xuan Xuan, it is really good to hire him as a buddy.

    Since he is a scholar, he will be able to teach Xuan Xuan how to read and write later.

    Finally, for their orphans and widows, having a gentleman by their side can actually strengthen their courage no matter they are at home or away from home.

    It is a good thing that serves multiple purposes.
