Daming Junior Scholar

After tidying up and eating some food, He Jiaan walked out of the mansion slowly and walked all the way to his barbecue shop. He saw several carpenters busy around, and there were a few sticks on the ground. The wood that has been split is exactly the same as He Jiaan's original idea.

"Uncle, you came back so early?" Not long after he arrived at the door, the sharp-eyed Xiu'er jumped out of it, widened his eyes and stretched out his hand in surprise: "Where's the copied poem?"

"Uh..." He Jia'an immediately froze, he was only concerned about competing with Ji Yun, and then felt that the quality of the poems written by these talented scholars was too low, so he fell asleep directly, and he didn't remember the promise to Xiu'er.

The smile on his face gradually became awkward, and He Jiaan said shyly, "Xiu'er, in fact, a lot of interesting things happened at the poetry meeting today, why don't I tell you about me first..."

"Humph." Before He Jiaan could finish explaining, Xiu'er suddenly snorted heavily, her big beautiful eyes were narrowed into a slit, revealing a dangerous light from inside, she stared at He Jiaan for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "My lord." It doesn't matter if you finish talking, I... I quit."

Thinking that he had nothing to threaten He Jiaan, Xiu'er simply stopped working, flicked his sleeves around He Jiaan, and went home directly.

"Hey, Xiu'er, wait, I really have good news to tell you, I..." Seeing Xiu'er walking away without looking back, He Jiaan finally gave up the idea of ​​calling her back, since she left He Jiaan just turned around and saw Ronaldo standing at the door of the store looking towards him, and when he saw himself, he spread his hands sympathetically.

He came just in time, after all, the main purpose of my visit this time was to find him.

He Jiaan came to Ronaldo, patted him on the shoulder, looked around, pointed to a teahouse not far away and said, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

For Ronaldo, he actually had no choice. In this place where he couldn't even understand the words, he only knew He Jia'an, and he was the only one who could understand what he said. Even if he knew that he was lying to him, he had only Follow him this way.

Fortunately, He Jiaan was still counting on Ronaldo to make money for him, and he didn't want to sell him for the time being. The two entered the teahouse one after the other, and sat down in a secluded place. Others treat them as fools, as to whether they can hear clearly... that's not the important thing.

"Boss, what do you want from me?"

Although He Jiaan mentioned to Ronaldo a few times that he could call himself He, he didn't like this syllable. The boss always called it like this, and He Jiaan had no choice but to obey.

He Jiaan stretched out his hand, took out a few more sheets of paper from his sleeve and put them in front of Ronaldo, then spread his hands and said, "Do you know all of these?"

The paper was placed in front of him, Ronaldo looked at the top pattern curiously, blinked his eyes and hesitated, and said with some uncertainty: "This is... sweet corn?"

OK, it seems that this thing already exists abroad, He Jiaan nodded and revealed the picture below.

"It's chili, I've seen it before."

Then came the third one, this time Ronaldo was dumbfounded, what are these round balls?

"Have you ever seen this? It grew up buried in the ground. It has a skin on the outside and the pulp inside can be used to make soup. It is called a potato." He Jiaan knew that this thing was called a potato, but he didn't know what these foreigners called it. After talking with gestures for a long time, Ronaldo seemed to finally understand, nodded and responded: "I know this too."

With the first three, He Jiaan is actually very satisfied. For the convenience of drawing, he directly put the drawn papers in front of Ronaldo one by one, pointed to the patterns on them, and asked: "This sweet potato Have you seen it?"

"This one is called Peanut."

"And this... tomato."

There are some that Ronaldo knows, and some that Ronaldo does not know. After reading all these patterns, the smart Ronaldo has some points in his heart. He stared into He Jiaan's eyes and asked tentatively: "Boss, show me this pattern." There are so many things, you want me to..."

"That's right." He Jia'an nodded, and said with a serious face: "I want you to go back to Europe and bring these seeds that I know, or that I don't know, understand?"

"No." To He Jiaan's surprise, Ronaldo's first sentence was to refuse, and he refused very resolutely, shaking his hands back and forth, as if he didn't want to go back no matter what he said.

This time it was He Jiaan's turn to be puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Speaking of how he got here, Ronaldo felt sad for a while, and said with an exaggerated expression: "I have to admit, I'm scared, I don't want to go to the ocean to experience that helpless feeling, I want to live, be good So I'm sorry boss, I refused your order."

After finishing speaking, Ronaldo stood up and was about to go out. Seeing that the situation seemed to be different from what he expected, He Jiaan quickly stood up, pulled Ronaldo hard and finally sat back down again. He immediately felt a headache. If Ronaldo didn't want to go back If so, how can I get those seeds myself?The rest is fine, but the chili is the most important thing. Without the chili, wouldn't my own barbecue restaurant end up being imitated by others?

After thinking about it, it is estimated that Ronaldo was frightened by the big waves at sea, and he didn't want to go back after saying anything. He Jiaan simply asked, "Then do you have other ways to get the seeds of these crops?"

Ronaldo hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Maybe I can get some. My compatriots are fighting at sea now. There may be some on their ships. If you want it, boss, I can try it."

Although I don't know much about the history of the West in this era, I vaguely remember that it was about this time that the country of François, that is, Portugal, had already begun to invade the East, and this period of history was also related to China.

The smile on He Jiaan's face gradually became serious, and he said slowly: "I must get the seeds, but you still have to tell your compatriots."

"Don't touch Macau, this is your last warning."

Chapter 31 Recruitment Notice

Ronaldo is still gone.

With He Jiaan's ardent hope, and of course, the 1000 taels of silver he just won, he set off from Qingjiangpu, first went to Hangzhou, and then went south by sea boat. As for whether he could find his compatriots... even He Jiaan didn't have a clue in his heart.

It’s better than nothing. On the one hand, I pin my hopes on Ronaldo. On the other hand, I still need to take care of my barbecue restaurant. After all, this is the source of my wealth. Sometimes I think about the money that was taken away by Ronaldo. An couldn't help being melancholy in his heart. With his own ability, these money must be able to make him a lot of money.

However, this kind of thing can only be thought about. Ever since I handed over the money to Ronaldo, the money has nothing to do with me. I just treat it as a gamble, and maybe let myself spend a night. Get rich, or maybe lose everything completely.

Whether it is a bet or a bet, that is a matter of the future. For He Jiaan, there is a more troublesome thing waiting for him now.

Xiu'er got angry, and the consequences were serious.

Usually, I don't think there is anything wrong when Xiu'er is around, but when she puts down the pick, a lot of troubles suddenly come to He Jia'an, the carpenter needs him for things, the design style needs him, and the cook of the barbecue shop has no shadow yet. , all kinds of seasonings and meats also need to be ordered in advance, only one day later, He Jiaan felt dizzy for a while, hurried to the door of Xiu'er's room, knocked on the door gently, and said softly: "Xiu'er, Still angry?"

"Hmph." A heavy hum came from the room.

"My uncle really didn't mean not to copy it for you. In fact, the poems they wrote that day were a little too ugly. What do you say 'spring rain is as slippery as oil, and it rains all over the street. Falling Mr. Ji, laughing at a group of cows', you say this Is it still necessary to copy poems? Young Master, I just opened my mouth and came here."

After finishing speaking, before the embroidery in the room responded, He Jiaan regretted it himself, what did you say was wrong, wouldn't such a change be a disguised form of scolding himself?

For the Bomei to smile, I must bear the humiliation.

Sure enough, after listening to He Jiaan's poem, the sisters in the room suddenly chuckled, and then the closed door was pushed open, and they glared at He Jiaan complainingly: "Those wits don't know how to write such poems, This must have been my grandfather's idea."

No matter who thinks, as long as you come out, He Jiaan hastily explained the hardships, Xiu'er nodded, followed him to the barbecue restaurant, and immediately started making arrangements quickly.

With Xiu'er's help, He Jia'an's affairs became much easier. Seeing that the decoration of the shop was being completed day by day, the matter of recruitment immediately became more important. On this day, in front of the barbecue shop, a big white The paper was pasted up, with lines of big characters written on it, let alone what was written on the paper, just talking about this word alone made many passers-by stop. After reading it carefully, they couldn't help but nodded in agreement. .

The wording is good, but the content is written in a very ordinary way. There are two big recruitments written on the head, and then it says, "This store is newly opened, and the special recruitment is as follows. Three cooks, three taels of monthly salary, two barbecue masters, Monthly salary is five taels, six waiters, only female, monthly salary is ten taels, note: the waiter must be fair, beautiful, long-legged, if the appearance is particularly outstanding, the salary is negotiable, the salary of all the above is settled monthly, and no credit is owed. Interested parties enter the store to discuss. '

The cook here can understand, but everyone doesn't understand what is going on with the barbecue master and waiter. There are quite a lot of people watching the excitement, but none of them enter the store. Occasionally there are a few The good-natured person sneaked a look at the store, but he also looked confused. What kind of store is this? Why is it divided into pieces?

Seeing more and more people gathering outside, He Jiaan who was waiting inside couldn't sit still for a while. This situation seemed to be a little different from what I imagined. I thought that as soon as this job advertisement was posted, the applicant would not be able to put himself The threshold of the house was broken, but I never expected that not only the threshold was not broken, but no one came in.

It seemed that he could only go out on his own. He Jia'an lifted his robe and walked out by himself. He clasped his fists outside the door and said with a smile: "Fathers, folks, young and old, here is the owner of this Deyun BBQ restaurant. Shopkeeper, Xiaosheng's surname is He, and his name is Jia'an."

He is He Jiaan?It's no big deal to watch the excitement, and when they heard that this person is actually the famous lucky man from Qingjiangpu, they all immediately became excited. This is a legendary figure, and I didn't expect to see him here today.

With the name of the Chen family, it must be that this store is not a lie. Someone in the crowd immediately asked: "I said Mr. He, what do you mean by this recruitment notice? Can you tell everyone?"

"Yes, the cook is really easy to find, but what are the grill masters and waiters?"

"Why do waiters only want women? Aren't we the same."

Hearing the commotion, He Jiaan quickly waved his hands and shouted loudly, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

Needless to say, after he made such a gesture, the noisy voice immediately quieted down. Many people were seriously waiting for He Jiaan to speak. After all, the wages paid here are relatively high. There is a salary of twelve taels, which is almost enough for the whole family to live for half a year.

Clearing his throat, He Jiaan pointed to the notice on the wall and said: "Actually, this recruitment notice is also very easy to understand. It means that my shop is about to open, but I can't do it by myself. I need a guy and a cook. Everyone Look at this, the cook is helping the cook, and her daily work is also very simple, just chop the meat, divide the vegetables, and then string them together."

"The barbecue master is actually very simple. Someone should ask, what is barbecue? What should I do if I don't know how to do it?"
