Time Traveling: This is Not Meat - Chapter 21 The new helper
Sister Xu, the servant of the Zhu family, is getting old, and her son and daughter-in-law are considered filial, and she plans to take her back to enjoy the blessings. Since this is the case, then she cannot continue to do the work of the Zhu family.
For this, Bai Shi is also happy for her.
However, the Zhu family is short of people. If it is an ordinary family, it is okay to leave one and a half people temporarily, but the Zhu family is different. Everyone has their own job, and if one leaves, everyone else will be inconvenient. The Zhu family’s theory is not to support idlers, and everyone should make the best use of what they have.
It is imminent to find someone.
However, Sister Xu is also a kind person. Although she can’t be lazy in doing things in Zhu’s house, the wages are not bad, and she never defaults, and she will give them some things during the Chinese New Year.
The host family is good, they also feel that it is a blessing to be servants.
Sister Xu introduced another helper to the Zhu family.
This is sister Xu’s neighbor, her sister. It is said that her husband is long gone. She is pulling her son by herself. It is very difficult, but she is a good person. Not talkative, but hard working. It turned out that she was also a helper in another family, but the owner went to another place, and she also had a family here, so naturally she couldn’t leave with her.
There is no work here, these days, she is earning a little money by simply sewing things, the days can be imagined.
Sister Xu is a helper in the kitchen. Although Mrs. Bai is anxious to find someone and sympathizes with her, she still wants to try her skills.
Zhu Xiangxiang accompanied Bai to interview the new kitchen helper, Aunt Yan.
Zhu Xiangxiang recognized her the first time he saw her. Isn’t this the mother of his brother’s classmate?
Unexpectedly, Sister Xu was talking about his family.
I just don’t know if Yan Shenma, who looks lonely, can bear his mother’s help in his classmate’s house.
In all fairness, she felt that the child’s self-esteem was also very strong.
Zhu Xiangxiang doesn’t like people with strong self-esteem. If you really experience her life, you will find that in many cases, self-esteem is really just a joke.
Aunt Yan naturally recognized Zhu Xiangxiang, but she didn’t say much. She used to be a servant too, and knew that her master disliked talkative people the most. She is an honest person, so I don’t need to say much.
After skillfully frying two dishes, seeing Bai’s nodding in satisfaction, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Both our master and young master love to eat dumplings. I just don’t know how your skills are?”
When Yan heard it, he understood.
The two people in the kitchen have a good relationship with Sister Xu, and they also know this Yan family, so they quickly started to help with the movements, and the three of them started kneading the dough and adjusting the stuffing together. But it was Yan’s who mainly tuned in. After all, this is a test for Yan’s, isn’t it?
Yan’s movements are nimble and clean, and he quickly started to prepare the dumpling fillings. After a while, he pointed to a neat row of large bowls filled with various fillings and said, “This is the same vegetable and pork filling, and this is the same three fresh fillings. It uses fresh shrimp, chicken and shiitake mushrooms, seasoned with lard.”
“kindness.”
Saying that, Yan Shi grabbed a handful of dry flour from the flour bag, sprinkled it on the table, scooped up the copper knife used to cut the dough, cut the reconciled dough into several parts of similar weight, and scooped up a small ball Knead a long strip, then cut it into pieces the size of your thumb, scoop up the rolling pin, and roll it down three or five times, and a dumpling wrapper with a slightly thicker middle and thinner sides is ready.
Roll out the dough, put the stuffing, pinch the pattern, and the dumplings are formed.
Seeing that she moves swiftly, she doesn’t talk too much.
Mrs. Bai finally nodded with satisfaction: “Okay, I think you are also quick, so you can stay. You can see if it suits you, and you’d better come here tomorrow. The salary is the same as the original sister Xu.”
“Thank you ma’am, thank you ma’am.”
Yan Shi hurriedly nodded in agreement.
It is not easy to find a suitable family.
Those at Yicheng Academy also have to pay tuition fees.
When Yan Shi left, Xiangxiang jumped to Bai Shi’s side: “Mother, let me tell you, this Aunt Yan’s son is my brother’s classmate.”
“Really? How did you know?” Bai asked curiously.
The girls gossip at home when they have nothing to do.
Zhu Xiangxiang told Bai’s what happened that day in detail.
“Is it because of them?” A look of hesitation appeared on Bai’s face, and Zhu Xiangxiang could see that his mother didn’t want Yan’s anymore.
Naturally, she was unwilling to cut off her family’s business: “Mother, it’s good for her to come to our house. I heard what my brothers and the others said. This Yan Yicheng is very knowledgeable. His mother works here as a servant, and it is estimated that he will come to us every now and then. I will come over too, brother is a bit embarrassed to ask Mr., you can ask him. Even if you don’t come, think about it, his grades are so good, it is also an encouragement to brother.”
“Well, what you said is right. Your brother is so useless. I can’t forgive him for beating him. I thought I didn’t know, but these days he started to go to the Chunxiangyuan frequently. He really walked away and came again. Tiger, Xiao Fengxian’er was redeemed by someone, and here comes another colorful butterfly, so how could she keep following her?”
“Mother, don’t worry, Ho Ho, I have asked people to ask about it secretly. This colorful butterfly is more beautiful and proud than Xiaofengxian. There are not a few people who praise her here. What do you think, just the three elder brothers?” Melons and jujubes, can they coax people to live in?”
“That’s true. But don’t always give him money.” Bai reminded.
“Even if I give it to him, he doesn’t have many. If those rich sons and gentlemen really spend money to support an oiran, brother will not be ranked no matter what. Even a family like Xiaolin is impossible. Give him that much silver.”
After hearing Zhu Xiangxiang’s words, Bai Shi finally felt relieved, but said: “Although that’s the case, it’s also delaying his studies wherever he goes every day! Really, he doesn’t look like his father at all.”
Zhu Xiangxiang looks like his father, but she still complains!
Zhu Xiangxiang choked up speechless.
“Mother, don’t worry too much. Brother will be fine when he gets older. Besides, his cronies and dog friends are all idlers, so brother is naturally like this. When he is a little older, let daddy find him something to do, naturally It will be fine.” Zhu Xiangxiang helped his brother speak.
“You’re right, let’s do this first. After a while, you have to ask your father to find something for him to do. Look at your cousin, he started nagging about the family when he was a teenager. We, or It’s too indulgent to him.” Bai sighed. These two children were the ones that made her worry. Xiangxiang was better, but Nannan’s appearance made her feel at ease.
Can my brother compare with that old fox plus money fan? Can you?
Zhu Xiangxiang roared in his heart.
