Shopkeeper He looked at the little girl in front of him. She looked very clean, but she looked thin and didn't look like she could endure hardship.
The little girl answered obediently: "My name is Xiaolan. I am from Xizhou. I am fifteen years old. I can wash dishes and vegetables, serve tea and water, and I can also cook. They are delicious."
Shopkeeper He nodded slightly: "Okay, the salary is fifty cents a month, and only food is provided, but no accommodation is provided. Do you want to do it?"
Fifty cents, so little?
Xiao Ji mentally scolded Shopkeeper He for being stingy.
The little girl nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
Shopkeeper He looked at Xiao Ji: "You take care of her first and do the work in the kitchen."
Xiao Ji nodded: "Okay, Shopkeeper He."
He turned around and waved to the little girl: "Come with me."
The little girl's eyebrows were crescent, and she followed Xiao Ji to the kitchen.
The kitchen is a hot spot for cooking fumes.
The little girl was led by Xiao Ji to Aunt Lu.
"Aunt Lu, her name is Xiaolan. She is new here. You need to take care of her from now on."
Aunt Lu had a sullen face and glanced at the little girl with squinted eyes. She was a shriveled girl, but her face was pretty.
She looked at her hands again. They were white and tender, and did not look like they had done rough work. She couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
She responded casually: "I know."
Xiao Ji nodded and left.
There were only two people left, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Aunt Lu yelled at her angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Don't you see there are a bunch of bowls to wash? Or do you want me to teach you how to wash them?"
The little aunt looked at her and pointed to a pile of dishes to be washed in the corner.
Just like a hill, it's dirty and oily.
The little girl didn't move, she just touched her belly and said pitifully, "Mom, I'm hungry."
Aunt Lu's gloomy face said: "You stinky girl, you are thinking about eating before you even finish the work. Do you think there are such good things in the world? Go right away!"
The little girl pouted, understanding this.
He was stunned and went to work dejectedly.
Then she lowered her head and scrubbed hard, washing the bowl over and over again, seemingly unable to stop.
When her stomach was almost full of hunger, two hot buns appeared in front of her.
"Wow, buns!"
Her eyes were shining like stars. When she raised her head, she saw Mrs. Lu's stern face: "What are you looking at? These two are just leftovers that no one will eat. I just don't want to waste them, so I just give them to you."
The little girl was stunned when she heard this.
Aunt Lu said fiercely: "Do you want to eat it or not? If not, I will feed it to the dog."
The little girl quickly took it: "Eat, eat, eat."
She was holding a hot steamed bun in her hand, and it was obvious that it had just been steamed.
The little girl smiled: "Thank you, Mrs. Lu, you are so kind."
Aunt Lu snorted angrily: "Silly girl."
She was cursing, but there was a hint of smile in her eyes.
Aunt Lu waved her hand: "Go, eat over there."
Like shooing away flies, he drove the little girl to a small corner to eat.
A moment later, in the lively and noisy living room, the little girl was lying in the front corner, eating steamed buns and listening to the storyteller's wonderful talk.
This is the reason why she came to work in the inn.
She likes to listen to stories and has done so since she was a child.
So when she saw a storyteller in this inn, she came in without thinking.
Her eyes flashed as she listened happily to the storyteller talking about the prosperous land of Yongzhou and the good-hearted Huo family.
He is also the richest man in Yongzhou.
It is the most popular topic at the moment, and it has remained at the top of the list of the most popular teeth-gnashing events in the city for several years, and no one has been able to replace it to this day.
