Chapter 85 Buying Someone to Steal Her Vegetables
Chapter 85 Bribe someone and steal her food
After Zhang Wanliang was beaten several times, his mind became clear.
Why should he go against Su Jinxiu? Whatever Su Jinxiu sells, he sells.
You don’t have to do anything on your own, just steal it.
He added a little water to the half pot of chicken soup he had stolen the day before yesterday.
Take it out and sell it as if you make it yourself, and most people won't be able to taste it at all.
Li Manhong stole the stewed soup and chicken today, and he also learned how to make shredded chicken.
It tastes the same, but he sells it cheaper.
The business of Ruyi Restaurant was suddenly snatched away.
Thanks to Su Jinxiu, he made back all the money he lost during this period.
He only regretted that he hadn't figured it out some time ago and had wasted so much effort.
Li Manhong bit the silver coin and stuffed it into her arms with a smile on her face.
"I know, I will be careful.
But Su Jinxiu is not easy to fool, it is too risky to do this.
What if she finds out and drives me away, how will we, orphans and widowed mothers, survive?
In this way, starting tomorrow, a dish will cost you six taels of silver.
Otherwise, I won’t do it.”
Of course Li Manhong knew that Zhang Wanliang was willing to add one or two more.
Su Jinxiu picked at Suosuo and deducted fifty cash from her.
Now, she can earn back a month's salary in one day.
When she earns enough money, she will go back to the countryside to retire. Who cares if Su Jinxiu's restaurant is going to live or die?
Zhang Wanliang was fed up with Li Manhong's insatiable greed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Okay, but you have to secretly write down Su Jinxiu's cooking methods and various ingredients.
If you do a good job, I will give you an extra tael of silver."
I don’t know what’s going on, but they obviously use the same ingredients.
But the food Su Jinxiu makes is more delicious than what he makes.
He wondered if there was any trick in it?
Ask Li Manhong to help him figure it out. If stealing fails, he also has a way to deal with it.
Li Manhong left the courtyard quietly and returned to the backyard of Ruyi Restaurant.
———————
The next day, Li Manhong got up early and cleaned up the inside and outside of the restaurant.
Today is the day to pay wages. If Su Jinxiu sees that she performs well, she will definitely give her a little more wages.
She was wandering by the back door and happened to meet Su Taohua going to school.
"Hello, Aunt Li."
Su Jinxiu was not here, and Li Manhong didn't have a good look at Su Taohua, and waved her hand impatiently.
When Wang Shuangxi heard the commotion, he hurried out and gave Su Taohua a pancake.
"What if you don't have breakfast? Auntie made some pancakes for you to eat on the way."
Seeing Su Taohua walk away, Li Manhong became angry.
"You're the only one who's good at getting things done, and you'll fawn over everyone. No wonder Shopkeeper Su likes you."
Wang Shuangxi looked embarrassed and rubbed the corners of his clothes.
"I'm not, I just think she's about the same age as my baby.
My parents were not around, so I took care of her a little more."
Li Manhong was too lazy to tell Wang Shuangxi more and walked to the back alley with a broom.
Seeing Su Taohua being stopped by Zhang Wanliang, she was so anxious that she almost cried.
"My eldest sister will be here soon, please get out of the way."
Zhang Wanliang touched his chin and glanced up and down at Su Taohua.
“Tsk, it’s just different when it’s grown a little longer.
What kind of school does this girl study? She followed me and became popular and drank spicy food.
I'll let you watch operas, listen to music, and buy clothes and jewelry every day, okay?"
Li Manhong rolled her eyes and turned away as if she didn't see it.
The familiar sound of an oxcart sounded, and Zhang Wanliang was startled.
Looking up, I saw Su Jinxiu driving an ox cart.
A sudden chill ran down his back, and he ran away quickly without taking advantage of him.
Su Taohua heard the commotion and turned around to see Su Jinxiu coming.
Wiped away tears and ran forward.
"Sister, are you here?
Brother Shangwen, Brother Shangwu.
Come on, let’s go to school.”
Su Jinxiu looked at Su Taohua's back and frowned.
"Shopkeeper Su is here? Are wages paid today?
I have a lot of kids at home, so I’m waiting for you!”
Li Manhong came forward with a broom and looked at Su Jinxiu with a smile.
Su Jinxiu came back to her senses and nodded.
"Yes, I'll send it to you right now."
Entering the restaurant, Su Jinxiu took out her account book and called Wang Shuangxi and Li Manhong.
Hand the wages to the two people one by one.
"Aunts, this is your wages for this month."
Wang Shuangxi broke something and lost half of his wages.
I got it today with only two taels of silver.
She took it gratefully and thanked her profusely.
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Su, I still have two taels of silver to live on this month."
Li Manhong took the wages and looked at it, but she was not happy.
"No, Shopkeeper Su,
Last month you said I had to take a break and I would be deducted money.
I didn't take any rest this month, and I didn't get into any trouble.
Why, one or two less?"
Su Jinxiu glanced at her and clicked on the ledger.
"At the beginning of the month, didn't Aunt Li borrow one or two taels of silver?
After one tael is deducted, the two taels are considered as compensation for the reward, that’s right.”
Do you still have to deduct one tael of money for a relationship? Think of Zhang Wanliang's generosity, and then think of Su Jinxiu's search.
Li Manhong's heart was completely twisted.
"Huh, shopkeeper Su, don't blame me for not listening to what I said.
If you're like this, your business won't last long."
Wang Shuangxi saw that her words were unpleasant and he quickly gave her a hand.
"You can't say that. Our accommodation and food are not all..."
"What's rare? It's not like I don't work without effort.
I've never seen so many people working in other houses, but we are the only ones here.
I work so hard that I feel like a stupid donkey.
I'm tired today and have to take a day off."
Li Manhong shook off Wang Shuangxi's hand, rolled her eyes and entered the kitchen.
She decided to move out today.
In the past few days, we are doing something big.
In order to avoid being bumped into by Wang Shuangxi and ruining her good deeds.
It was Su Jinxiu who was unkind and righteous in the first place, I can't blame her.
Li Manhong returned to the room, packed her things, left Ruyi Restaurant with her children, and secretly went to find Zhang Wanliang.
Zhang Wanliang first arranged for Li Manhong's family to live in his home, thinking that Li Manhong's family would be in his hands.
From now on, he will have something in his hands, and he will definitely help him work honestly.
When Uncle Lin heard the commotion and rushed over, Li Manhong's family was already empty.
After he asked what was going on, he frowned.
"What else is she dissatisfied with? Her three children are all eating and drinking in the restaurant.
It’s fat and free, it doesn’t cost any money?”
Su Jinxiu walked around the room and smiled.
“The promotion of rice and the fighting of rice and hatred.
Uncle Lin, the restaurant is short of manpower, please find two more people!"
"Why."
Lin Bo shook his head and glanced at Wang Shuangxi.
"Double Happiness is still reliable. We need to be more careful when looking for people in the future."
Early the next morning, Li Manhong, who had disappeared for a day, appeared at Ruyi Restaurant as if nothing was wrong.
When Su Jinxiu entered the kitchen, she licked her face and chased after her.
"Shopkeeper Su, what are you cooking today?
I am a person who is quick-tongued and has a good heart.
It's no better than double happiness, I feel depressed all day long.
Although my three children are all eating in restaurants, they are eating in plain sight.
It's not like Double Happiness, it's said to be done by oneself.
In fact, I secretly picked up all the good dishes from the restaurant and gave them to my children..."
Su Jinxiu glanced at Li Manhong with a half-smile and started to make chicken soup.
