Shen Yanqing sat at the table for a long time, and finally couldn't help but take out paper and write quickly. He pinched the thick envelope and smiled to himself.
This kind of worry about gains and losses drove him crazy. It would be great if Jiang Miao was by his side. Shen Yanqing just wanted to end the scientific examination as soon as possible and bring Jiang Miao to the capital.
The autumn wind picked up and the weather gradually turned cooler. Jiang Miao and Mrs. Zhang went to the mountain to pick all the remaining fruits. It had just rained and the mountain roads were muddy. There was no one on the mountain. They didn't take any precautions. They picked two baskets of hawthorns. Go down the mountain.
Zhao Xiuxiu came towards them and saw the bright red hawthorns in their baskets. They were sour fruits that no one wanted on the mountain.
Jiang Miao and Zhao Xiuxiu had laughed at her before, but now that Mrs. Zhang was picking them together, she had doubts in her mind. She watched the two of them walking away, then held up her skirt and went to look around the mountain.
Sure enough, all the fruits on the tree had been picked, and only a few fruits on the branches were left flying in the wind. Zhao Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and ran home quickly.
"Mom and Dad, the old Shen family has picked all the wild fruits on the mountain!"
"Just finish picking it, no one wants it anyway." Zhao Dayong was squatting in the yard smoking a dry cigarette, and frowned when he saw her running in carelessly.
"Dad, don't you think it's strange? No one wants to eat the fruit for the Shen family, and they even come back from town to pick it. Moreover, the Shen family got rich in a strange way. None of us thought that his family could afford to buy it. The house I went to now also has a shop!"
What Zhao Xiuxiu said was also the doubts of the villagers. Zhao Dayong put down the cigarette pole in his hand and became interested, "Then why do you think it is?"
"I don't know...but it must have something to do with the wild fruits on the mountain!"
Zhao Xiuxiu swears by it, but Zhao Dayong disagrees.
"Even if the Shen family gets rich from wild fruits, it has nothing to do with us. Everyone has his or her own destiny. Just think about it and go help your mother cook."
"Dad!" Zhao Xiuxiu stamped her feet angrily.
"It has nothing to do with us. The things on this mountain don't belong to the old Shen family. They are clearly the common property of the village. They have to pay for it if they take it!"
"This..." Zhao Dayong was speechless. How could this be possible? The villagers were collecting firewood and herbs in the mountains without giving any money to the village.
But Zhao Xiuxiu's words were too tempting. He was moved by the thought of money, and he didn't care about himself. Qingquan Village was so poor, didn't the Shen family deserve some help?
"Ahem, but we have no evidence to prove that the Shen family made a fortune from wild fruits..." Zhao Dayong said slowly, they couldn't ask the Shen family for money for no reason.
"Tomorrow I will go to town with the women in the village to see if the Shen family has opened a shop. You will know what they sell."
It's okay if it's not fruit. If she really steals the wild fruit from the mountain and sells it, she will definitely ask Jiang Miao to pay for it!
Shen family
Jiang Miao's pastry shop is booming. Although Wang and Xu are helping, there are still too many wild fruits to make.
She wanted to make preserves and jam before they went bad, so that they could be stored for a longer time. Jiang Miao and the Shen family worked hard for a few days, which made everyone very tired, but the results were still minimal.
"The efficiency is too slow," Jiang Miao hit her sore waist. "We can't finish it in just a few months or two. We have to recruit people."
Mrs. Zhang was reluctant to pay the wages, "Let's work harder and slowly, there is no need to recruit people."
"Mom, although the weather is cold now, these fruits will not last long. They will go bad before we finish making them."
Jiang Miao said helplessly, not to mention how much the labor would be paid, the shop's profit per day would allow it to hire more than a dozen workers.
"That's fine, but where are you going to recruit people from?" Although Mrs. Zhang cares about money, she still understands the importance. Without fruit, they can't make money, but it's not easy to recruit these workers.
After all, these food recipes are very precious. What if they learn them and steal business from the Shen family?
Jiang Miao knew her concerns, but she didn't take them to heart. Modern recipes for snacks and snacks can be found everywhere on the Internet, and everyone can learn them. No restaurants or snack bars have ever closed.
Besides, she wouldn't be so stupid as to teach the helpers the entire recipe, and each of them would only learn part of it. Even if they figured out the recipe, they wouldn't be able to make it taste like hers.
Jiang Miao told Granny Zhang her idea, and she felt relieved.
"As long as you have an idea of what's going on, it's fine, but you have to recruit someone who has a few things to do and has clean hands and feet."
"Then when I'm recruiting people, Mom will help me look after them. I'm definitely not as good at looking at people as you are."
Jiang Miao said with a smile. Mrs. Zhang was coaxed to smile with pride on her face, "Then I'll show you."
As soon as the news about Jiang Miao's recruitment spread, neighbors came to visit one after another.
Who doesn't know that Mrs. Jiang's pastry shop makes a lot of money, and one day's work earns half a month's wages for working at home?
They usually only take on some embroidery work and laundry work. They can't make much money in a month, and they are very tired. Such an easy and high-paying job as making snacks is hard to squeeze out.
"Ms. Jiang, I'm a good cook. The steamed buns are fluffy and soft. I can make snacks easily."
"Bah! With your ridiculous craftsmanship, you can make steamed buns that kill people, and you're not ashamed to lie!"
This man had a grudge against the lady just now, so he exposed her in front of Jiang Miao and blocked her way to people and money. The lady didn't let her go either. The two of them struggled with each other on the spot, and several lines fell off Jiang Miao's forehead.
Black line, speechless face.
This is a recruiting ground, not a martial arts arena!
"You have to fight on one side, don't affect others!" The women behind also looked irritated. They have never seen such a lack of vision. If they delay their registration, these two people will be torn apart by the people present.
.
Mrs. Zhang pulled the two men away aggressively. Her stern face was still very intimidating. The two women were beaten out. The other people did not dare to cause trouble after seeing what happened to them. The recruitment scene was still very harmonious.
The women who signed up were all neighbors, and Jiang Miao knew a little about their character. As long as they were not too bad, she was willing to give them a chance.
She will give a lottery to the person she likes and wait until tomorrow for a job trial. Those who get the lottery will go home happily, while those who don't get it will look disappointed.
"Ms. Jiang, give me a sign!" A woman came up from behind, stretched out her hand and asked Jiang Miao for a sign. The fat on her face was trembling, and she looked uncomfortable.
Jiang Miao recognized her. Mrs. Song, a well-known woman in the alley, had a mouth full of gossip and had slandered Shen Yingxue before. She frowned slightly and hugged the lottery tube tighter.
"Auntie doesn't meet the requirements and doesn't have a signature."
"Hey, how can a little lady like you talk? Why don't I meet the requirements?" She pulled away the person next to her and rushed to Jiang Miao. She was still talking about taking action.
