Now that I have determined that my next step is to open an ice shop in Prefecture City.

Chen Nianguan made a secret plan in his mind. When the capital is ready to open a store, firstly, he needs to buy a storefront, and secondly, he needs to buy ice. In view of the particularity of the products, the ice cellar must be dug, and finally, manpower is needed.

Building an ice cellar requires a person, cutting ice requires a person, transporting ice requires a person, and looking at the shop also requires a person.

Manpower is urgent!

Chen Nianguan looked at the people in Uncle Liu's house.

Sighed.

Uncle Liu’s cousins from the fourth room were all exhausted by himself, and those who stayed in the village now: Of course Uncle Liu and Aunt will not leave, the eldest cousin is about to give birth, and the eldest cousin will naturally leaveNot open.

The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt have to help Uncle Liu take care of so many acres of land and fields, and the fourth aunt has to take care of Liu Shui and Liu Ye.

When Chen Nianguan sighed and sat outside the house, his eyes lit up as he looked at the group of young men following Uncle Liu and Uncle Liu.

Hey, there are so many beggars here.

You can ask them for help. If you can’t find it here, you can also go back to the Chenghuang Temple outside the county to look for it. Let Xiao You help to see if the candidate is reliable?

Chen Nianguan told Uncle Liu about his idea, and Uncle Liu's family was surprised: "You still want to open a shop? Don't you already have two shops?"

No matter how capable and rich this niece is, she can't afford to open one shop and another without stopping, right?

"I'm also thinking about the western store in Prefecture City!" Chen Nianguan said that the relationship is very important, and Uncle Liu thinks about it, this is the reason.

"So, you want to find someone to go with you to work in the Prefecture City?"

Chen Nianguan nodded.

"Wan Wan, since you are short of people, why don't you go to the dental shop and buy some servants." Liu once again put forward her own experience.

"Aniang, I've thought about it. The servants will also buy some, and these beggars will also ask for some."

Ice shops are hard work, and there are many people who want them. When you come to the dental shop, you may not be able to choose the right one. Secondly, these beggars who are used to farm work must be more diligent and capable than ordinary people.

"I remember my aunt said, how many of them have already settled in Liujia Village?"

"Hey, there are five, no, I'm afraid there are eight or nine people right now, do you want all of them?"

"I would like to invite about four, but Uncle Liu, have you finished your field work?" Chen Nianguan was afraid that he would invite people away, and Uncle Liu would be short of people instead.

"It's okay, it's past Lixia today, and the work that should be busy in the field has already been done, and the work that can't be done has to be done slowly." Uncle Liu said, "Besides, we don't have to worry about no one at the moment. ITell them for you, Wan Wan, what do you want to choose?"

"Good character, hardworking, and strong."

So, Uncle Liu went to the beggar's side to talk, and brought back four people.

They have names and surnames, and they also have their own land deeds in their hands, so they can't be counted as beggars. They are all young guys, and their names are easy to distinguish. They are all surnamed Liu, one willow tiger, one willow lion, and the other willowLeopard, a willow bear.

It sounds like a beast, majestic!

The four beasts are also strong and strong, and they are powerful at first glance.

It is said that when they first came to Liujia Village, the four of them were all sick, but they were able to work in the fields very well, and the food provided by Uncle Liu's house was not short of them, and they had grown up in half a month and a month.coming.

I'm afraid that Liu Lizheng is willing to let them become Liu family villagers because he sees their young fellow Miao'er is good. Most of the beggars don't have their own names., They took what they thought was the most majestic lion, leopard, tiger and bear.

Chen Nianguan almost gave a thumbs up in his heart. He was about to tell them about the conditions of employment, but there was a guy with a different style of painting behind him.

People look energetic, even if they are skinny.

Seeing Chen Nianguan looking back, the four lions, leopards, and tigers also looked back, "Hey, it's Liu Yang!"

sheep?Liu Yang?Even their names are far from those of the four beasts. They are all carnivores, but a herbivore suddenly appeared, and they don't seem to fit in together.

"Master Chen." Liu Yang touched his head, smiled, and said embarrassedly: "I heard that you are recruiting, can you see if there is any work that I can do?"

"What do you know?" Chen Nianguan asked Liu Yang to recommend himself.

"I am literate. I used to be a servant of a rich family. I was a servant at the side of the young master, and later I was a helper for the steward. Later, something happened to the young master's family. The old lady showed kindness and sent the children of our family away.After returning the contract of selling their lives, they are all dismissed."

Liu Yang is over twenty years old, considered older among the gentlemen, but because he has a baby face and is shorter and thinner than the other four, he looks the youngest instead.

"Then you can read and work for a wealthy family, so you probably have half the skills, so how come you end up as a beggar?" Chen Nianguan was puzzled.

"Hey, yes, after I left the sonthe former master's house, I planned to take my parents back to the ancestral home, but I encountered bandits on the way, and my parents went away. I just survived, my body was injured and ruined,People don't want to recruit such a sickly person like me." Liu Yang said sadly.

"Then you think I'll recruit a sickly person?"

"No, I'm much better now. If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Liu, Uncle, right?"

Chen Nianguan looked at Uncle Liu, who nodded.

He picked him when he first came to Liujia Village. Although this Liu Yang looks crooked, he went to the fields and worked neatly.

"Because you said you need to be strong, and Liu Yang is not very strong, so I didn't ask him to come here."

Who knew that he just followed.

"Then you are a servant and you can read, so shouldn't you have your own name? Why are you still called Liu Yang?"

"My previous surname was given by the former master's family, and my first name was a slave's name. We don't want it." Liu Yang shook his head.

Uncle Liu said yes, and Liu Li is willing to let Liu Yang settle down and become a member of Liujia Village, so it's okay.

Chen Nianguan thought about the manpower of the ice shop. In addition to working hard, someone still needs to watch the shop, greet and deliver, and settle accounts. Since he can be a servant of a wealthy family, he has also helped the steward. Liu Yang is quitesuitable.

"Then, do you know how to read the account books?"

"Yes." Liu Yang nodded again and again, "I helped the former boss to check and manage the accounts frequently."

That's enough, the candidate for the shopkeeper of the ice shop has been found.

It is not easy to find a literacy club these days, so Chen Nianguan immediately set conditions for them, fixed the salary, and increased the monthly salary every year. As for the working period, they tentatively signed a contract for one year.

After one year, if the performance is good, then continue to sign the contract.

When they heard that they would not have to worry about work for a year, all five of them laughed from ear to ear.

"Middle, middle!"

"Master Chen, don't worry, we know that Xiao You also works for Master Chen, everyone can trust you!"

"Let's do it even for ten years, how about Master Chen signing us a ten-year contract?"

Chen Nianwan smiled.

They want to sign for ten years, but she still has to investigate to see if they are qualified workers!

On the day the matter was decided, Zhang Erlang hired a donkey cart and came to Liujia Village by himself.

Chen Nianguan looked surprised.

Why is he here?Shouldn't you concentrate on studying in the academy?

Then a little guilty.

Because she remembered that the purse she was going to give him hadn't started embroidering yet!

"I've been resting for two days, so I came to see you." Zhang Erlang had a smile on his face, he hesitated to speak, "See you, I'll go back tomorrow."

There is an old saying that a day apart is like being separated for three autumns, he and Wan Niang have not seen each other for many days, and he is thinking about it in his heart, plus he still has something to tell her impatiently.

Now seeing people, he swallowed the words again.

Let's talk about it when go back, let her see the surprise with her own eyes.

"Then you came just in time, and we are going back to the city."

The three kinds of sauces are handed over to the aunts. Uncle Liu’s family is watching the matter of Aniang’s house, and the person who opened the shop has also been found. Before the weather officially heats up, have to go to Prefecture City to buy a shop, build an ice cellar, and store it.It's so cold, otherwise, when the hot weather comes, this business will be missed.

That night, knowing that my aunt's family was going back to the city, the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt used all kinds of martial arts and cooked a table of sumptuous dishes for them.

Because the sauce happened to be made, bought a lot of fish, shrimp and snails from fishermen, so the hard dishes were mainly fish mistakes, and the staple food was a few flatbreads.

Seeing that the first aunt and the fourth aunt were scrambling to cook, to show their gratitude to her family by making delicious food, Chen Nianguan, who has already boasted that he can step into the ranks of senior chefs, decided to give them this home.

I only used a small stove, took a crock pot, cut a piece of meat, and made a fish-flavored eggplant stew.

The eggplants were just picked by my aunt from the field, all of them were very fresh, the veritable purple was shining, and they tasted very good at first glance.

After washing, the eggplant is cut into strips, and then soaked in light salt water. After the soaking is soft, take it out, drain the water, heat the oil in a pan, and fry the eggplant sticks until soft.

Chop the meat into puree, beat an egg yolk and stir in it, then stir-fry with garlic, scallion and ginger slices.Eggplant.

After adding soup and water, stir well, then close the lid, boil with high heat, and then pull out the firewood to lower the fire temperature.

Uncover and add appropriate amount of sugar, oyster sauce, and cooking wine. Also, isn’t there freshly baked scallop sauce, which is just right for flavor. After putting it down, simmer for about a quarter of an hour.

At this time, the eggplant is stewed soft and delicious, and after adding chopped green onion, the fragrant eggplant is ready!

Everyone knows that Chen Nianguan is a good cook, and we are waiting for her to try this dish on the table!

When the whole crock was taken out, a porcelain bowl was served first, and everyone put chopsticks into the bowl one after another, and sent them to the mouth to eat.

Hmm, the eggplant has fully absorbed the flavor of the meat and seasoning, the juice is thick and the eggplant is soft, it tastes layered but not greasy, it melts in the mouth, it is very appetizing when served with rice!

"Wan Wan, I didn't expect that you could make such delicious eggplant by itself!"

"We have never tried eggplant dishes like you, Wanwan. How can Wan Wan be so smart?"

"That's right, our Wan Wan family was taught by the famous Master Ming Hai, so of course she's smart!" Mrs. Liu was proud of her daughter.

After the eldest aunt served another big bowl, she suddenly thought of something: "This dish is very soft and rotten, and it's easy to send porridge, Wan Wan, can we send a bowl to that grandfather?"

"Grandpa Duan? Who is it?" Chen Nianguan heard this character for the first time.

"Hey, the elders of those beggars said that their grandson is working in your shop." The aunt said, "Grandpa Duan's grandson, what is his name?"

"Xiaoyou!" Uncle Liu said, "When they settled down in our village, it was Xiao You who personally sent his grandfather over."

"Yes, Duan Xiaoyou."

Xiao You's grandfather also moved to Liujia Village?
