As soon as they heard that Chu Nanzhi had been granted the title of princess, everyone became excited again. They all looked at each other and said excitedly: "So Mr. Lin has been granted the title of king. No wonder the county is so lively today."
Immediately everyone started coming over to congratulate me.
Chu Nanzhi patiently enlightened everyone: "I can understand your worries. Although I can't give you any guarantee, what I can promise is that the restaurant will not miss you a penny as long as it is open for a day. Now it is not just Luyan
Hong Kong, I'm afraid that all parts of the south are facing the same difficulties as you, but Mr. Lin is already thinking of ways to deal with it, and will definitely help everyone get through this difficulty.
As for the affairs between you and the Qi family, I will try my best to help you. Let's do it this way. 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 if you take this month’s salary back.”
After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Zhang solemnly: "Mrs. Zhang, you see the restaurant will open soon. When it opens, I will increase your monthly salary to the same as my aunt's, two taels of silver per month. You can press the button first."
Is it possible to pay off the rent with March’s monthly salary at this standard?”
"That's enough, that's enough. The slave family is definitely willing to stay in the restaurant."
Mrs. Zhang was so happy that the flowers bloomed.
Not to mention 2 taels of silver a month, she was already very satisfied with just 1 tael or 500 coins a month.
If the Qi family hadn't been forcing each other hard, how could she have been willing to leave.
Chu Nanzhi nodded happily.
Mrs. Zhang, Ms. Liu Piaopiao and Mrs. Zhou, Li Ce's wife, are all good hands in the kitchen. Not only are they quick to do things, they are also quick to learn skills. They are smarter than their two sisters. From the bottom of her heart, she really wants to keep this person.
.
Seeing Mrs. Zhang express her position, everyone else responded: "Madam Chu, ah, Princess, we are all willing to stay in the restaurant."
"Okay, in that case, you all should quickly follow Butler Zhao and Sang Kun to collect your monthly salary."
Chu Nanzhi signaled: "But I have something to say first. The opening day is approaching now. After receiving the monthly salary this time, you must sign a one-year employment contract as mentioned in advance. In the future, you will renew the contract at this time every year. As long as you perform well
Come on, I won’t treat you badly, and when the restaurant business starts up, I will increase your wages as appropriate.”
Not to mention things like thirteenth salary.
Everyone was in high spirits after hearing this, and expressed their willingness to accept it. They hurriedly followed Butler Zhao to the accounting office to collect money and sign the contract.
Liu Piaopiao looked at the side with a gloomy face, and couldn't help complaining: "Nan Zhi, they haven't finished their work yet, there is no reason to pay their wages first, now hundreds of taels of silver have gone out, let's go again
Even 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 sons and daughters like the Qi family."
"It doesn't matter, they will come back."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at Lin Jinxiao beside her with a smile: "Even if they really don't want to come back, the current situation is difficult, so they should just treat it as helping the villagers."
Thinking of raising Zhang's salary to the same level as hers, and fearing that she would be resentful, Chu Nanzhi comforted her with words:
"Auntie, I really like this lady. For now, I'm going to aggrieve my auntie. When the business of the restaurant picks up, I'll let you manage the kitchen with Sister Zhou, and I'll give you three taels of silver every month."
However, Liu Piaopiao waved her hand disapprovingly: "Don't think that my aunt is so petty. You didn't blame me for what happened before, so I will blame you for this? Besides, my two taels of silver per month is less than the whole family's one."
I earn more every year, so why should I be dissatisfied?"
Liu Yun burst into tears as she listened. She would feel much more comfortable if her cousin Liu Ye could be as sensible as her younger sister.
She took Liu Piaopiao and Zhou and said in a gentle voice: "Little sister, let's go see if there is anything else that needs to be cleaned up in the village."
"good."
The three of them walked toward the restaurant while chatting and laughing.
Chu Nanzhi waved to the fishermen from Malaifu and Haikang counties who were still counting the fresh fish: "Laifu, please bring everyone over to have a rest first, and go to the house to drink some water."
"Sister Zhi, no need. We finished our work earlier and have to send everyone back to Haikang County."
Ma Laifu raised his eyes and looked here. Although he missed this close sister deeply in his heart, he did not dare to come closer.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a month or two, Sister Zhi would be so noble that she became the princess. I thought I could drive away the jackals in Duanlong Mountain to do something for her, but I never thought that Lin Jinxiao would now directly let people build roads in the mountains, which would not be used at all.
By myself.
My already humble heart became even more humble.
Thanks to Lin Jinxiao's generosity, he never blamed him for having evil thoughts towards Sister Gardenia.
Chu Nanzhi felt that this guy was acting weird now. When he was in Haikang County, he wanted to be close to her all day long, but now he seemed to be deliberately alienating him.
She stepped forward with some confusion, looked at the fish in everyone's basket, and asked softly: "How are you doing in the mountains recently? Is your cousin's leg feeling better?"
"Everything is fine, everything is fine. Sister Zhi, don't worry."
Ma Laifu buried his head and replied nonchalantly.
The quadruplets liked Ma Laifu very much. Seeing how cautious he was, they couldn't help but gather around him and asked with concern: "Uncle Laifu, are you unhappy in the mountains? How about you stay at our house and not leave?"
Okay, you can play with us this way. Our house is quite big now, so we will ask my father and mother to clean up a yard for you to live in."
Hearing the voices of the little ones, Malaifu finally raised his head, wiped his hands, and wanted to caress their little faces like before, but seeing that they were all wearing silk and satin, they were much more glamorous than before, and he didn't dare to touch them again.
He went to touch them and replied cautiously: "Uncle is not unhappy. He still has a lot of things to do. I will definitely go and play with you when I have time."
The little treasures all became depressed when they heard this. They stretched out their little 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 official. You can
There is no need to go back to the mountains to hunt anymore, we beg Dad to let you stay in Luyan Port."
Hearing this, Lin Jinxiao also walked up slowly.
Among all the men Chu Nanzhi met, only Ma Laifu was the one he couldn't hate the most and the one he found most difficult to be wary of.
The Chu family, the little treasures, and even Chu Nanzhi all liked him, so he had a consistent attitude. As long as he did not have too much personal contact with Chu Nanzhi, he would treat him with the most generous respect.
Seeing him keeping his big hands far away from the little treasures, Lin Jinxiao couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. He took the initiative to pull him over from the pond and said solemnly: "Come on, the little treasures and
Your Sister Zhi misses you very much. If you are not in a hurry, it is not too late to stay at home for a few days before going back. Your Sister Zhi and her family are all at home now, so we can go and see you."
A while ago, I heard Liu Yun mention that she wanted to bring Chu Nanxiang and Ma Laifu together. It would be a good thing if it happened.
Malaifu fearfully took his hand out of his palm and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, thank you and Sister Zhi, ah, and the princess for your kindness. Didn't I mention the matter of opening an inn in the mountains to the princess before?
Well, now my uncle and cousins are busy with this matter, so I have to rush back as soon as possible."
Chu Nanzhi raised his head and looked at the sky. It was almost evening. It was not a good time to go on the road. But this guy even called him so strict, which was really strange.
