When she first arrived in the town, she was unfamiliar with the place and shopkeeper Qian was afraid that she would be careless and did not dare to assign work to her.

He only provided her with one meal a day and didn't give her any extra money.

Therefore, she didn't understand Chu Wanying's behavior very much.

Chu Wanying smiled and said, "Then I believe you so much, am I right or wrong?"

When Li Xiaolian heard this, she said that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained, "No, no, listen to me, I didn't mean that..."

"Okay, okay, I understand. From now on, you will live here and help me take care of the shop. I will also take care of your three meals a day. As for the salary, it is one penny a month. What do you think?"

"By the way, do you know how to read?"

When Li Xiaolian heard this, she felt that she had really met a living Bodhisattva, and she immediately wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her.

But when he heard the next words, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "I have never learned this."

Chu Wanying thought for a while, "It doesn't matter, it's okay if you don't know how. Just do it first. I'll find someone to help you later. By the way, you can learn to read from him."

At this time, Rong Zhan had finished handing over to shopkeeper Qian. They passed by the store and left together with their things, saying they were going to the government office to report the matter.

Before leaving, Chu Wanying quietly handed the banknote to the man's hand.

After sending them back to the door, they saw Li Xiaolian standing at the door of the shop with a red face, staring into the distance, her eyes dull, as if she was crazy.

She raised her hand and waved it in front of the girl, who immediately came back to her senses, looked stunned, and said embarrassedly, "Sister Wan Ying, is he your husband-in-law? He is so handsome! I have never seen anyone who looks better than him.

A good-looking man..."

Chu Wanying was speechless for a moment. This little girl actually thought of being a nymphomaniac. He raised his hand and tapped her forehead, "Okay, stop being a nymphomaniac and hurry up and work for me!"

When Li Xiaolian heard this, she knew that she had said the wrong thing. She blushed so much that she couldn't look at it anymore. She was so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Chu Wanying raised her eyebrows and looked at her embarrassment, which was red to the root of her neck, and said with a smile, "Are you shy now? Okay, you, if you work hard, I will find a good husband for you in the future!"

When the girl heard this, she became even more ashamed.

"Sister Wanying, what are you talking about! I, I didn't think that much..."

Look, there is really no confidence in what he said.

Chu Wanying knew that she was shy, so it was not easy to joke with her anymore, for fear of annoying the little girl, which would be boring.

So he said seriously, "Okay, you just work hard with me, okay? If you let me know that your mind is not right, hum! Let's see how I deal with you!"

After hearing this, Li Xiaolian immediately cheered up, patted her chest and promised that she would never be disappointed, and then hurriedly turned around and went in to work.

Chu Wanying looked at the girl's back, shook her head and sighed, this girl is too simple-minded and can be easily deceived.

It seems that she needs to find someone smarter and smarter to accompany her to manage this store.

——————

When Rong Zhan came back, he was alone. Shopkeeper Qian had already taken the money and went home happily.

Chu Wanying thought to herself, this shopkeeper ran away very fast. How anxious is he to get rid of this shop!

Rong Zhan handed her the land deed, receipt documents and other documents. "From now on, you will keep these. I will take an old horse to the horse dealer and ask him to come back with the horse and man."

After saying that, the person left.

Li Xiaolian was wiping the noodle vat with a rag. When she saw the man leaving, she immediately approached Chu Wanying and said, "Sister Wanying, you are so lucky to have a husband who loves you so much. I don't think shopkeeper Qian is good at it.

Every time the boss lady came to check the accounts, he would bring some old accounts to top up the balance."

Hearing this, Chu Wanying raised her eyebrows and said, "You are quite a gossip, and you know quite a lot about these things."

The girl waved her hand, "No, no, don't get me wrong. I just told you because I thought you were a nice person. The landlady was really cruel. She came to check the accounts every day. In fact, there was a waiter named Chen in this store.

Secondly, because the landlady was too cruel and too demanding in giving money, he quit in a fit of anger, and then he hired me."

"Chen Er? Are you quite senior?"

Li Xiaolian couldn't understand her words, "What is qualifications?"

Chu Wanying explained patiently, "It means that you have been working in this industry for a long time."

"That's natural. It is said that he has been working for Shopkeeper Qian for several years. Who knew he was fired last time because of this trivial matter? It's really chilling to think about it."

After hearing this, she had a plan in mind.

She deepened her eyes and said, "Xiao Lian, do you know where Chen Er's family lives? Can you give him a message for me? Just tell him that the wages will remain the same. No, I will give him an additional 10% of the wages.

But the prerequisite is that he must sign a deed of sale to me, which means that as long as my shop is open for one day, he can only work with me. If he agrees, you can bring him back."

After hearing this, Li Xiaolian nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, sister Wan Ying, please do me a favor! I heard from Mrs. Wang next door that Chen Er hasn't found a job recently! If you say you can give him a raise, he will definitely be happy to come back!"

What Chu Wanying thought was that they were all new to the rice and noodle business, and they had to ask an old guy like Chen Er for help in order to expand the business.

Therefore, the purchasing channels for rice, flour, grains and oils are still a mystery. You can only find out a few things by asking experts to ask.

Li Xiaolian brought the person back within half an hour.

Chu Wanying looked at Chen Er carefully. He was about thirty years old, with dark complexion and thick arms. He had obviously been doing rough work all year round.

His eyebrows are thicker than ordinary people and his nose is larger. Judging from his appearance, he is a loyal and honest person.

Sure enough, when Chen Er saw her, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, girl! I heard from Xiaolian, don't worry, I will do my best to work for you in the future!"

Chu Wanying liked this kind of cheerful person the most, and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I've already written the engagement letter. You and Xiaolian will each get one. I've made it clear to her about Xiaolian's monthly salary. As for you,

Yes, I said I would give you a 10% increase, and then I will give you three coins. If you have no problem, just sign and pledge it!"

Li Xiaolian couldn't read, so she asked Chen Er to read it for help. He quickly went through it and said immediately, "No problem, I'll sign right now."

Afterwards, Li Xiaolian immediately signed her name and stamped her fingerprints.

Chu Wanying took it, blew on the ink stains on it, and said with a smile, "That's great. From now on, Xiaolian will be responsible for doing miscellaneous tasks, and Chen Er will continue to help me deliver goods. From now on, this shop will be handed over to you.

By the way, I see that the warehouse at the back is indeed a bit crowded. Why don't I send people to make a few more wooden shelves in the past few days and stack the goods on them, which can save a lot of space.

The same goes for the store. Your task these days is to help me count all the goods and then arrange them on the shelves."

It was the first time for both of them to hear about such a new thing on the shelf. They thought the girl's idea was novel, so they nodded and said, "Okay, then it's up to you, and we'll get started!"
