C107 (1/2)
The fallen plum fell like a snowstorm, covering her entire body.
The wind blew down the falling flower blossoms, and the pedestrians came and went, all of them surrounding a thin man in a jacket with his hair tied up, standing outside a short, gray wall.
The man had a pair of small triangular eyes, and between his brows was a large black mole. As he spoke, the mole also shook up and down, like a jumping grasshopper.
The surrounding people stared at the ”grasshopper” and listened attentively. After he finished speaking, they all took out their silver coins and bought the wooden signboard from the man.
Mu Zi was the member of Mountain Note.
There were only five hundred Mountain Note membership cards, the ones in the shop had already been snatched away, leaving only the ruyi with a dozen or so.
Song Ruyi's brother, Song Yidao, had earned ten taels of silver in the morning by holding these wooden tablets.
He put the silver into his pocket contentedly and was about to leave when another man suddenly appeared by the short wall.
”I heard that you are selling the members of Mountain Note here?”
the man asked.
”You came by a bad coincidence, it just sold out, it's gone.” Song Yi clapped his hands, indicating that they were empty.
The man laughed, ”I don't want the plate. I just want to know, how did you make this thing?”
That man was Da Chun.
He listened to Manager Tong's instructions to find out where the shop assistants had come from, but who would have known that every single person in the Mountain Note was talking like that? After wandering for a long time, they still hadn't found anything.
On the way back, he coincidentally bumped into Song Yidao, who was selling this brand.
”My sister is a servant girl in the Mountain Note.”
”Oh, I see.” Da Chun's eyes lit up.
Before he could ask further, he heard Song Yidao speak again, ”In the past, I was a servant at the Mountain Note.”
”Why aren't you doing it?” Da Chun was suspicious, ”The Mountain Note is currently our Xin Ning's best wine house, the Mountain Note's owner is earning a lot, so no matter what, this shop assistant will have to follow and eat.”
”Sigh, isn't this all for these ten or so tags?” Song Yidao scratched his head, ”My sister was clumsy and was discovered by the boss.”
”Can we not ask that boss to let your sister stay?” Da Chun calculated in his heart, ”How about this, let your sister go and plead for mercy, if I were to go in again, I will give you two siblings ten silver coins.”
”This …” Song Yi was curious and pleasantly surprised. ”Why is that?”
Da Chun patted Song Yi's shoulder: ”Just do it, when the time comes, you will get the benefits!”
On the first day of winter, Jin Xiaolou made up her noodles early in the morning and covered the dough with a dustpan.
The two of them sat by the well in the backyard, scooping up water from the well to wash the scallions until they were as green as jade.
Raising her head, she saw Kuang Ruyue carrying Lin'er in, with Ru Yi following behind him.
”Shopkeeper, this girl said that she lost her job and got beaten up by brother when she went back. She wanted to beg you to let her stay no matter what.” Kuang Ruyue pushed the ruyi scepter forward.
Jin Xiaolou saw that there was a purple bruise on the girl's neck, as if she had been beaten up by someone else.
In this winter, Ru Yi was only wearing a single set of clothes. Her little face had turned blue from the cold. She looked really pitiful.
”Your brother treated you like this, yet you stole a membership card for him?” Jin Xiaolou said.
Ru Yi fell to her knees, unable to pull her up this time.
She threw herself onto the ground and sobbed, ”Boss Jin, it's all because of me. I won't dare do it again, but if you chase me out, my brother won't want me either. I'm afraid I'll freeze to death outside. ”
”Where's the membership card?” You gave it all to your brother? ” Jin Xiaolou asked.
Ru Yi nodded her head with tears in her eyes. ”Mm, after I gave it to him, he turned hostile and chased me out of the house with the stick.”
”What a fool.” Jin Xiaolou bent down to pull her, ”Get up, the ground is cold.”
Ru Yi's eyes widened. ”Shopkeeper, can you forgive me? You allowed me to stay?”
Jin Xiaolou nodded his head: ”In the future, don't do anything foolish. We will make dumplings today, you should go and give us a hand.”
Seeing Ru Yi run away happily, Jin Xiaolou let out a long sigh.
This era's women had to look at their father and brother's eyes before they were married, and after they were married, they had to listen to their husband's words. If he could help them, then he would do it.
As he was thinking, he saw that Gui Zhi had already rolled up his roll of clothes and quickly rolled up his sleeves before heading inside.
In the city of Xin Ning, during the winter, there would be a reunion dinner. Jin Xiaolou closed the shop for a day and gave a leave to all the shop assistants.
Other than Lv Yun who was an orphan girl with no home to return to, the rest of the employees all returned.
At this moment, the remaining people were all gathered in the kitchen. Jin Xiaolou cut up some good pork and beat up the eggs inside, adding the cabbage and scallions, and filled up the stuffing. When the fragrant oil dripped, Gao Lang, who was greedy, immediately came over.
