Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue
Chapter 198 Reading changes fate
Keke has been paying attention to Hanshi for a long time.
At first, I was chatting with other little beggars about their experiences. I heard that there was such a shop. The food in it was worth hundreds of gold soul coins, but there were still many diners who came to taste it.
Keke was shocked at that time.
He has been begging for a living every day since he can remember, but the only time he received a gold soul coin was when a beautiful and kind lady gave him a gold soul coin three years ago. After receiving that gold soul coin, he rarely
It was a luxurious time, and I gritted my teeth and bought a roast chicken that I had coveted for a long time to try the taste. It is still fresh in my memory.
One hundred gold soul coins was already an astronomical figure to him. Would anyone actually pay such a price just to taste a meal?
This is unimaginable to Koko.
Because of the shock and envy in her heart, Keke paid more attention to this restaurant called Hanshi from then on.
Later, when a new issue of Food Review was published, he saw that Hanshi appeared in the Food Review magazine, and many diners asked for its address. He was smart and thought of a way to make money by pointing out the location of Hanshi to the nobles. In just two days,
I made several silver soul coins and dozens of copper soul coins, made a small fortune, and my life became a little better.
Later, he simply begged every day on the street next to Hanshi, because he found that the diners here seemed to have better tempers and never made a fuss in front of Hanshi's door, so he was rarely scolded, as he had occasionally been before.
If you are unlucky, you will get beaten up for no reason by a bad-tempered guy, but that has never happened here.
Moreover, diners who can come to Hanshi to eat will be given more.
This made Keke feel sincerely happy during this period. She could eat big white steamed buns every day, and even bite the bullet and buy some meat every now and then. This was almost unimaginable before.
As a result, Keke actually gained some weight.
Yes, Keke, who looked thin in Qi Han's eyes, actually gained a lot of weight during this period.
Therefore, every time he raised his head and looked at the Hanshi signboard not far away, Keke's eyes were full of gratitude.
Although Han Shi didn't do anything to help him, his current good life can be said to be closely related to Han Shi.
But even so, Keke never thought of saying thank you to the boss of Hanshi, because he was just a little beggar, and he might feel disgusted if he entered Hanshi.
After the business ended at noon, he saw the boss of Hanshi again. This time there was a wooden board in his hand with some words written on it. This aroused Keke's curiosity, and he couldn't help but be the first to get it.
I wanted to go and have a look.
Keke is literate. Although many beggars in Star Luo City can't even write their own names, Keke is not included among them.
When he was a child, he was begging in a small village on the outskirts of Xingluo City. There was a kind-hearted old man there who ran a literacy class and specialized in teaching civilian children to read and write. When he saw Keke eavesdropping by the window several times, he asked him to
Come in and learn together.
The old gentleman once said: Reading can change your destiny.
Although he has not been able to change his fate of begging through reading, Keke firmly believes in what the kind old gentleman said.
When Keke saw clearly the recruitment notice on the board, his little heart skipped a beat.
Perhaps, this is the true meaning of the old gentleman's words?
Thinking of this, he mustered up all his courage, looked at the back of the figure that he had never dared to come forward to talk to, and said that sentence.
"Excuse me... your store is looking for a waiter, can I try?"
…
"Mr. Qi, can I really wear this?"
Keke's eyes were shining brightly. He had just finished taking a shower in the living area on the third floor of Hanshi. He had the faint fragrance of shower gel on his body, and his clean face became more delicate and fair. If he hadn't still been wearing the ripped clothes,
The clothes intertwined with patches make him look like a handsome aristocratic boy.
He still seemed a little embarrassed. Looking at the new clothes Qi Han bought from a nearby clothing store while he was taking a shower, he was almost excited.
The last time he wore new clothes was two years ago. He couldn't wear the previous clothes anymore, so he spent three copper soul coins to buy a new piece of coarse cloth, which was far inferior to the one Qi Han gave him now.
Okay, but he was as happy as the Chinese New Year.
"Put it on, it's nothing to me." Qi Han's eyes were filled with warmth.
Keke obediently put on the new clothes Qi Han had prepared for him, sat on the chair in the room neatly, and looked at Qi Han with an expression of admiration and gratitude.
Apart from the old gentleman, this is the first time someone has been so kind to me!
Looking at Keke, who was sitting upright in front of him as if listening to a teacher, Qi Han fell into thinking.
Star Luo City is no different than Shrek City. There are not that many soul masters here, and there are more civilians. Therefore, Qi Han does not plan to require soul masters to apply like Shrek City does.
But even so, there are still some other requirements, such as...
"Are you...literate?"
As soon as the question came out of his mouth, Qi Han felt as if he had asked nonsense.
If you are illiterate, how do you know that you are hiring a waiter?
"Mr. Qi, I am literate, and I can still recite "Xingluo Poetry Collection"!" Keke said hurriedly, and then recited one or two famous poems from it.
"oh?"
Qi Han was really surprised now.
"Xingluo Poetry Collection" is a book that records the famous poems of the Star Luo Empire from ancient times to the present. The poetry style of the Star Luo Empire is biased toward modern poetry and has its own unique rhythm requirements. Qi Han can't appreciate it.
Yes, but this kind of book is often only read by a few nobles who have nothing to do and pursue literature. Most civilians are actually not interested in it.
Keke can even recite this?
Then there will definitely be no problem in identifying the menu in the store.
"Then, can you count?"
"Yes." Keke nodded hurriedly.
In this era, arithmetic is more useful than literature, and even people who are illiterate can learn a little bit about it.
Qi Han casually came up with a few addition and subtraction methods within a hundred, and seeing that it didn't take long for Keke to figure out the correct result in his mind, he nodded silently.
Yes, this arithmetic ability is enough to handle the business in the store.
As for other requirements, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
So Qi Han nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then are you willing to become a new employee in the store? Two working meals a day, no waste, and..."
"By the way, where do you usually live?"
Before Keke had time to rejoice that she had really become an employee of the store, she showed an embarrassed expression because of Qi Han's words.
Seeing Keke's expression, Qi Han seemed to understand something, and immediately smiled relaxedly, "It's okay, you can live here from now on. There is a guest room next to it, you can stay there."
"No!" Keke shook his head fiercely, "Mr. Qi, you are so kind to me, and I deserve it."
He is a little guy who knows how to repay his kindness.
A trace of appreciation flashed in Qi Han's eyes and he smiled, "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet. Since I have provided you with accommodation and food, the salary will be even less. Ten gold soul coins per month. You
What do you think?"
Ten gold soul coins...how little?
Keke blinked, with a blank look on his face.
