The man is about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, with good features, medium height, neither fat nor thin. He is wearing a blue robe of high quality, and his whole person is fresh and neat.

"Are you here to apply for the position of shopkeeper?" Jiang Shuyue asked, looking directly into the man's eyes.

The man retracted his hand and stood up straight. He introduced himself with a smile and said, "Hu Qing, this little guy, I once had the experience of being a shopkeeper. If my boss can trust me, I can start as a waiter."

The man is shrewd and capable, with a pair of black eyes as deep as ink. His brows reveal calmness and courage, and he has a faint smile on his lips. He looks quite approachable.

Nangong Zeyue, who has seen countless people, asked: "Brother Hu, which restaurant did you work in before?"

Hu Qing thought about Xiang Yang's advice and came to the restaurant to recommend himself. He wanted the girl to see his good qualities but not his flaws.

He bowed his hands to Nangong Zeyue and said calmly: "Young Master, you're welcome. I once served in Penglai Pavilion. Later, my employer transferred Penglai Pavilion to another place. There were seniors and juniors in my family, so I didn't follow him." Go to the boss."

The reputation of Penglai Pavilion was second only to Juxian Pavilion. Jiang Shuyue had heard about it. She heard something from Ren Yazi that the owner of Penglai Pavilion was the former owner of Jiang Mansion.

"Why didn't the new owner keep you?" Nangong Zeyue asked closely.

It's not that he wants to take over the job, it's that he has to help Jiang Shuyue keep things in check. If the person coming is someone who was fired by his former employer, then it will be a big problem.

It is not uncommon for shopkeepers to be fired and sent to government offices for embezzling money from their bosses.

Jiang Shuyue said she wanted to give him shares, but he had no intention of taking it at all.

Hu Qing naturally understood what Nangong Zeyue meant, he raised his lips and smiled, "The new owner has useful people, but I am not willing to sign a death contract with the new owner, for fear that signing a death contract will affect my child's future employment. "

Hu Qing was right. The sons of merchants in Wanling Kingdom could not join the officialdom, even those who sold themselves to help others become shopkeepers.

Nangong Zeyue looked at Jiang Shuyue, "Yue Niang, you see, I am in charge of the restaurant in front of me, and I also have to take care of the inn in the back. It would be best if someone could share the responsibility."

Jiang Shuyue looked at Hu Qing and felt that this person could be kept on trial.

She thought that the shopkeeper in the grocery store was already well-organized, but Nangong Zeyue had no skills on her own. It was really not easy to manage such a large restaurant.

Jiang Shuyue thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, there are craftsmen repairing various parts of the restaurant now, and we really need a capable person. I will give you a chance of three months. After three months, if both parties are happy with the cooperation, we will make a decision. I don't know what to do." Does the shopkeeper have any salary requirements?”

"Salary!" Hu Qing was stunned, but he was overjoyed but remained calm.

Jiang Shuyue reacted immediately. She coughed lightly and said: "The salary is in Yannan dialect, which is the monthly salary. I wonder if shopkeeper Hu has any requirements for the monthly salary. If so, feel free to ask for it."

Nangong Zeyue: "..." Why didn't I know that Yannan dialect has this saying?

Nangong Zeyue was wondering in her heart, but she didn't say it in front of outsiders.

Hu Qing looked at Jiang Shuyue with a surprised look in his eyes.

Regardless of the three-month probationary period, the master said that from now on, he will be Miss Jiang's person in life and her ghost in death. As long as she nods to keep him, he is confident that she will be satisfied.

He bowed his hand to Jiang Shuyue again: "Thank you for your trust, my boss. I don't have any requirement for a monthly salary. The girl is willing to keep me without having to sign a contract of sale. I can't thank you enough."

"But I brought the yellow book. I can deposit the yellow book here with my boss."

Hu Qing took out the yellow album from his arms and handed it to Jiang Shuyue with both hands.

Nangong Zeyue took the yellow book and took a look at it and said, "Your home is not far from Jiang Mansion."

"Young Master is talking about Jiang Mansion on Guixiang Street? The younger one lives in Nongqin Lane at the back." Hu Qing asked knowingly.

Seeing Jiang Shuyue nodding, Hu Qing approached with a smile: "The villain's home is less than a mile away from the girl's mansion. It's really a fate."

Jiang Shuyue took the yellow album from Nangong Zeyue's hand, looked at it, and handed it back to Hu Qing.

"You keep the yellow book. After the trial period is over, I will draw up an employment contract. There is no need to go to the government for filing, and it will not affect your children's imperial examinations. The monthly schedule is tentatively twelve taels per month. If you do well, you will be paid at the end of the year. There are bonuses to be won.”

"Thank you for your trust, my boss. Xiao Ding did his best to keep the restaurant prosperous." Hu Qing put away the yellow book and bowed deeply.

Jiang Shuyue looked at Nangong Zeyue and introduced: "This is Nangong Zeyue. From now on, he will be in charge of the inn at the back, and you will be in charge of the restaurant in front and the kitchen in the back."

Hu Qing saluted Nangong Zeyue again with a smile on his face: "I have met Mr. Nangong, please give me more advice in the future."

Nangong Zeyue quickly returned the greeting, "Brother Hu, you're welcome. You are well-informed and have more experience than me. I hope you can give me more advice."

Seeing the two people bowing, Jiang Shuyue secretly cursed in her heart. The ancients bowed easily and were not afraid of protruding discs in their waists.

"That's it, you will officially be on duty at the restaurant tomorrow."

Jiang Shuyue explained some things to Hu Qing and gave him the list of the restaurant's chef and waiter.

Hu Qing did not leave immediately after hearing this, but went to the kitchen to get familiar with the people and the environment.

After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Shuyue and Nangong Zeyue went straight to Buzhuang.

"Shu Yue, I'm afraid it's hard to buy sheets for that couple's bed you asked the craftsman to make."

Without outsiders, Nangong Zeyue no longer calls Jiang Shuyue Yueniang.

"What's the problem? I've already drawn the drawings and handed them to the cloth shop and asked the embroiderer to cut them according to the size." Jiang Shuyue was confident.

Nangong Zeyue was puzzled but didn't know how to speak.

Jiang Shuyue said that she wanted to create a few romantic guest rooms for couples. The bed was large enough, semicircular, and had no edge. With that shape of the bed, if he were allowed to sleep on it, he would be worried that he would roll out of the bed.

When they arrived at Buzhuang, Jiang Shuyue asked Cangyun to wait outside, and she walked in with Nangong Zeyue.

The shopkeeper saw that the two men were dressed in fine clothes and had extraordinary temperament, so he hurriedly came to greet them.

"What do you two noble ladies need? We have high-quality brocade custom-made clothes here."

Jiang Shuyue glanced at the shop. It was very spacious inside, as big as three doors. The counters against the walls of the shop were filled with fabrics of various colors.

Jiang Shuyue walked to the counter selling quilt fabrics and asked, "Can you customize bed sheets and quilt tops here?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Nangong Zeyue and Jiang Shuyue and said to himself: What a handsome couple.

Then he smiled warmly and said: "Yes, of course I can. Whether the girl wants a dragon and a phoenix to appear auspicious or a magpie to climb a branch, that's fine. If you want a hundred descendants to embroider their faces, you have to wait for half a year."

An uncomfortable look flashed across Nangong Zeyue's face.

Just as he was about to explain the misunderstanding, Jiang Shuyue pointed to a piece of crimson brocade cloth in front of her, "On this fabric, there are ten sets each of mandarin ducks playing in the water, dragons and phoenixes."

"Ten sets!" The shopkeeper's eyes widened and his voice almost broke.
