Chapter 358 Preparing to set up a stall
Apart from those pests, life in Yancheng was getting better and better, and Shen Wenchen also had a rare moment of leisure.
Regarding the underground gambling house, Shen Wenchen knew which one it was, but did not pursue it further.
After all, gamblers are pitiful, but they are also very hateful.
Nowadays, this gambling house is the only one in power. If it is overthrown by him, the newcomers may gain even greater momentum.
Shen Wenchen is now at leisure, but Nanzhi is getting busier and busier.
Originally, I thought I would spend more time with Zhiyu, but now I just took a few kids with me to help in the restaurant.
Shen Zhiyu is only five and a half years old now. Although his nutrition has kept up, he is still a little small.
Arranged in a row, the four dolls grow upward like steps, which makes people laugh a bit.
"Auntie, why did you call us here?" Xiao Zhiyu suppressed her blush and let Nanzhi tie a red hairband on his head.
"Of course I want you to come to work-study program." Nanzhi smiled and pinched the little ball on the little baby's head, feeling very satisfied.
The little girls she bought in the women's building were all pretty good, but today someone came to order a banquet, and they were a little too busy, so they could only call a few dolls to come to the rescue.
Xiaomi had a hard time in his early years. Although he has gained some weight after being raised in the Lin family for so long, he is still a little thin. Now he looks only taller than Zhiyu and about the same as Lin Jian.
"Auntie, will you calculate the wages for us?" Lin Jian turned his head and looked at Nanzhi and asked.
Auntie hasn’t given him any pocket money these days!
"Of course, forget it." Nanzhi nodded his nephew's head.
"Can my aunt still be an evil boss?"
"Then how will aunt calculate the money for us?" Lin Jian asked with a smile, the two dimples on his cheeks were shallow and very cute.
"Business is good today. My aunt needs you to help carry pastries and fruit plates. She may be busy for two hours in total. I'll give you twenty coins each, how about it?"
Nanzhi knew that his little nephew was smart, so he just smiled and offered the price.
My two sisters-in-law are very much in favor of letting the dolls come over to help.
Although life is getting better now, they don't want their children to develop a tendency to spend money lavishly.
When studying in the academy, a child's education costs three taels of silver per year. In addition to the cost of buying pens, inks, paper and inkstones, a child costs about five taels of silver per year.
Although they all have the ability to make a living, and even earn a little more than some business people, it is all hard-earned money.
A few days ago, when the sisters-in-law were out at the stall, they met a thirteen-year-old student who was eating at the stall with his classmates.
He said that the one-penny piece of paper was defective, and even used the three-penny piece of paper to clean the stool.
Just looking at that action made them feel cold in their hearts.
In the past two days, I have been looking at the expenses of the dolls. When they heard that she wanted the dolls to help, they were all relieved.
The food stall has not been open for two days. They have been looking for a good location for the past few days. It happened to be the college holiday, so it was just right for them to come to the restaurant to help.
Every day, the children will have two pennies of pocket money. There will always be people outside the academy selling some eating toys that children like. The prices are between one cent and two pennies. Boys always have enough. Listen now. When Nanzhi said that he could get twenty cash in wages, Lin Zihan and Lin Jian's faces were full of joy.
"good!"
When Xiaomi was a beggar, five coppers a day was considered good. It would be more during the New Year and festivals. Although life in the Lin family was easy, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Even the pocket money given by Nanzhi was not enough. They all saved up and didn’t dare to spend it randomly.
Now that I heard that I could make money by myself, I was even more excited.
Most of the female guests in the women's building are ladies from wealthy families. Today's banquet was also a banquet hosted by a lady from the city for her sisters.
Nanzhi specifically asked the host the first day if they minded this matter, and then let four dolls dressed in festive clothes follow him upstairs.
It was a hot day, and there were six ice cubes placed in the women's building.
During the banquet, the girls were nimble and graceful, and four cute and well-behaved little dolls were busy behind them carrying pastries, attracting the attention of the guests.
The wife of the housekeeper was already in her thirties, so the age difference between her friends was not that big. There were more or less children at home, so they all started to laugh when they saw how well-behaved and sensible Zhiyu and the others were.
At the end of the day, the dolls all had blushes on their faces, and they all lay down at the table and ate shaved ice.
"Eat slowly, don't let your stomach get cold." Nanzhi looked a little amused at how they were devouring their food, and gently fanned them.
"Auntie, are you like this every day?" Xiao Zhiyu was born cute and was the youngest. She was pinched in the face by guests all day long, and her cheeks were still red now.
It didn't hurt at all, but he was a little embarrassed, so he didn't resist much.
"That's not true." Nanzhi sat with a smile and shook his head.
"Why, Auntie." Lin Jian was a little confused as he ate the shaved ice.
They were very tired today. Just watching those sisters running up and down made him feel so tired!
"Because my aunt is the boss, I don't have to carry plates upstairs and downstairs."
Nanzhi said truthfully.
"Then I will also be the boss in the future!" Lin Jian just thought about it and immediately made a decision.
It’s great to be the host, you’re not tired from being the host, and you can eat shaved ice as you like!
"Then what kind of business do you want to do? Do you have the money to do it? Or do you have the ability to open a shop?" Nanzhi shook his head and looked at his little nephew as if he was watching the fun.
Of the two nephews, Maomao is the more naughty one, and his temperament is more like that of his eldest brother.
Doudou is much more sensible than when he was a child.
The smile on Lin Jian's face froze, and then he lowered his head in frustration.
He is not the best at studying. The master said that he is smart but not smart at studying. Speaking of his family background, his aunt and uncle are both rich. He only has twenty pennies today, and there is still one penny in which he plans to buy candy. food.
"Auntie, I only have nineteen cents, what kind of business can I do?"
The little guy was discouraged and asked in a low voice with his head hanging down.
"You have to think about it yourself. There is a small open space outside Auntie's yard. The four of you can receive a total of eighty yuan in wages. You can do whatever business you want." Nanzhi said with a smile.
There is a small open space outside my small yard.
In the past few days, there were always people who wanted to set up a stall there, but she never agreed. It happened that these children were on vacation, so that they could do business and exercise themselves, and so that my mother-in-law and sister-in-law could prepare for opening the shop with peace of mind.
"Okay!" Shen Zhiyu was the first to agree, with stars in his eyes. Nanzhi hesitated a little, but just pulled him aside.
"Zhiyu. You have to promise grandma not to use that."
Nanzhi looked serious. She found that the little guy was a little too dependent on his own "luck".
It may not be a good thing if this continues.
The little guy nodded in agreement.
