Chapter 404: Malayfu
Chapter 404 Ma Laifu
As soon as they heard that Chu Nanzhi had become the princess, everyone became excited again. They looked at each other excitedly and said, "It turns out that Lord Lin has become the king. No wonder the county is so lively today."
All of a sudden they came over to congratulate.
Chu Nanzhi patiently enlightened everyone: "I can understand your worries, although I can't give you any guarantee, but what I can promise is that the restaurant will not lose you a penny as long as it lasts for a day, and it's not just Luyan right now. Hong Kong, I am afraid that all parts of the South are facing the same predicament as you, but Master Lin is already thinking of a way to deal with it, and will definitely help everyone get through this difficult time.
As for the affairs between you and the Qi family, I will try my best to help you. How about this? If you are willing to stay, you can withdraw a few months' salary in advance and pay the rent of the Qi family first. If you don't want to stay, you can also I won't blame you for taking this month's salary back. "
After finishing speaking, she looked at Mrs. Zhang solemnly: "Miss Zhang, you see that the restaurant will open soon, and when it opens, I will increase your monthly salary to the same as my aunt's, two taels of silver per month, you pay first." According to this standard, it is possible to pay off the rent by drawing the monthly salary for three months?"
"Enough is enough, my family is definitely willing to stay in the restaurant."
Zhang's joy blossomed.
Not to mention two taels of silver a month, she was already satisfied with one, two or five hundred taels a month before.
If it weren't for the Qi family's hard work, she would not be willing to leave.
Chu Nanzhi nodded in satisfaction.
Mrs. Zhang, Liu Piaopiao, and Mrs. Zhou, Li Ce's wife, are all experts in the kitchen. Not only are they quick at handling things, they are also quick at learning crafts. They are smarter than their two younger sisters. She really wants to keep this man from the bottom of her heart. .
Seeing Mrs. Zhang's statement, the rest of the people followed suit and replied: "Miss Chu, ah bah, princess, we are all willing to stay in the restaurant."
"Okay, since that's the case, you all have to follow Steward Zhao and Sang Kun to get your monthly salary."
Chu Nanzhi signaled: "But I have something to say first, the opening day is approaching, this time you have received the monthly salary, you have to sign a one-year employment contract as mentioned in advance, and you will renew the contract at this time every year, as long as you take good care of it. Do it, I will not treat everyone badly, and wait for the restaurant to start business, and I will raise wages for everyone as appropriate."
Thirteen salary and so on are not a problem.
Everyone was in high spirits and expressed their willingness to accept it. They hurriedly followed Butler Zhao to the accountant to collect the money and sign the contract.
Liu Piaopiao looked at the gloomy face from the side, and couldn't help complaining: "Nan Zhi, they haven't finished their work yet, so there's no reason to pay their wages first, and now they've gone out with hundreds of taels of silver. If you have money, you can't squander it like this, if they don't come back, you are now a princess, and you can't force them to sell their children like the Qi family."
"It doesn't matter, they will come back."
Chu Nanzhi looked at Lin Jinxiao beside her with a smile: "Even if they really don't want to come back, the current situation is difficult, so let's treat it as helping the villagers."
Thinking of raising Zhang's salary to the same level as hers, she was also afraid that she would feel resentful, so Chu Nanzhi comforted her again:
"Auntie, I really like this lady. Right now, I'm wronging Auntie. When the restaurant's business improves, I'll let you manage the back kitchen with Zhou's younger sister, and I'll give you three taels of silver every month."
Liu Piaopiao waved her hand disapprovingly: "Don't think of Auntie as such a petty person. You didn't blame me for the previous incident, but I would still blame you for this incident? Besides, I am now worth two taels of silver a month than the whole family. If I earn more every year, I have nothing to be dissatisfied with.”
Liu Yun had tears in her eyes, if her cousin Liu Ye could have such a sensible younger sister, she would feel much more at ease.
She took Liu Piaopiao and Zhou Shi and said in a warm voice: "Little sister, let's go and see if there is anything else that needs to be cleaned up in the village."
"it is good."
The three of them talked and laughed and walked towards the restaurant.
Chu Nanzhi waved at Ma Laifu and the fishermen of Haikang County who were still counting the fresh fish: "Laifu, bring everyone here to rest and go to the house to drink some water."
"Sister Zhi, there's no need, we finished our work earlier and we have to send everyone back to Haikang County."
Ma Laifu raised his eyes and looked at this side. Although he missed this close sister deeply in his heart, he didn't dare to come closer.
Unexpectedly, after only a month or two of absence, Sister Zhi became so honorable as a princess. She thought she could do something for her by driving away wolves in Broken Dragon Mountain, but she never imagined that Lin Jinxiao would just let people build roads in the mountains. own up.
My already humble heart became even more humble.
Thanks to Lin Jinxiao's generosity, he never blamed him for having dirty thoughts about Sister Zhi.
Chu Nanzhi feels that this guy has become weird now, when he was in Haikang County, he wanted to be close to him all day long, but now he seems to be deliberately alienating him.
She went forward a little puzzled, checked the fish in everyone's baskets, and asked in a soft voice: "How are you doing in the mountains recently, is your cousin's legs better?"
"It's all good, Sister Zhi doesn't have to worry about it."
Ma Laifu buried his head and replied embarrassingly.
The quadruplets like Ma Laifu very much. Seeing how cautious he is, they couldn't help but gather around and ask: "Uncle Laifu, are you unhappy in the mountains? Why don't you stay at our house and not leave?" Okay, so you can play with us, our house is getting bigger now, we will ask Father and Mother to clean up a yard for you to live in."
Hearing the voices of the little ones, Ma Laifu finally raised his head, wiped his hands, and wanted to caress their little faces like before, but seeing that they were all dressed in silk and satin, they were much more glamorous than before, and he dared not touch them again. Going to touch them, he replied cautiously: "Uncle is not unhappy. Uncle still has a lot of things to do. When he has time, he will definitely go play with you."
The little treasures all became depressed when they heard this, and stretched out their small hands to hug him tightly, and said in a warm voice: "But we all miss Uncle Fu very much, our father is now a high-ranking official, you can There is no need to go back to the mountains to hunt anymore, we beg Father to let you stay in Luyan Port."
Hearing this, Lin Jinxiao walked up slowly.
Among all the men Chu Nanzhi met, only Ma Laifu was the one he couldn't hate and was the hardest to be wary of.
The Chu family, the little treasures, and even Chu Nanzhi liked him very much, so he also had a consistent attitude. As long as he didn't have too much private contact with Chu Nanzhi, he would treat him with the most generous respect.
Seeing him move his big hands away from the little treasures, Lin Jinxiao couldn't help but feel sore, and took the initiative to pull him from the pond, and said in a solemn voice: "Laifu, little treasures and Your elder sister Zhi misses you very much, if you are not in a hurry, you can stay at home for a few days before going back, your elder sister Zhi's family is at home now, so I can go see you."
A while ago, Liu Yun mentioned that she wanted to match Chu Nanxiang and Ma Laifu, and it would be a good thing if it came true.
Ma Laifu withdrew his hand from his palm in fear, bowed respectfully and said: "His Royal Highness, thank you and Sister Zhi, ah bah, and the kindness of the princess, didn't I mention to the princess about opening an inn in the mountains before?" Well, my uncle and my cousins are busy with this right now, so I have to go back as soon as possible."
Chu Nanzhi looked up at the sky, it was almost evening, how could it be a good time to go on the road, and this guy even called him so rigorously, it was really a natural thing.
