Blissful Days After Widowhood

    The road of the enemy is narrow, and the pair of women who came is the Wang's eldest sister-in-law Zhao and her daughter-in-law.

    A few months ago, Zhao and Zhou, a pair of wives, pretended to be poor together.

      How about half-poor?

    Zhao looked at Gu Yin and asked, "Why are you here?"

    "It turns out to be my aunt! I almost didn't recognize you when I saw you dressed so richly." He said, "I was idle in the winter and wanted to find a job. But I didn't know that this restaurant belonged to my aunt's family."

    As she spoke, she smiled meaningfully, and did not continue.

    When Zhao Shi and her daughter-in-law came in, Gu Yin said no.

    Obviously recognized them from the start.

    Seeing that the atmosphere between them was a little strange, the shopkeeper immediately stepped aside and closed his mouth.

      The surname is Zhao, and the little lady has to call me 'cousin' according to her seniority."

    "You're also wrong, my uncle and aunt are not in the same family." Gu Yin put on her cotton robe, "Look at how I am dressed, I look like I have that kind of wealth. relatives?"

    The chef was teased and turned to look at Zhao, only to find that Zhao's face was instantly darker than the bottom of the pot.

    Zhao's daughter-in-law was thinking of letting her mother-in-law help her son to go to school. Seeing that Zhao's expression was not worried, she immediately said: "In this snowy day, my cousin and sister came out to find work. It seems that life with my aunt is really bad. They are all relatives, so you and my aunt don't have to force it. After all, we are a family, my mother is a bodhisattva, can we still watch you live? Not good? Well, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. As long as my cousin Fang Fangzheng kowtows to my mother for the New Year, we will spare a few taels of silver for you to have a good New Year. There is no need for people to say that we don't take care of our shabby relatives."

    Gu Yin had already walked to the door, and when she heard the words "Bodhisattva Heart", she couldn't help but smile again.

    "What my cousin said is that our life is naturally not comparable to yours. But there is no way, we don't have so many twisting and winding intestines, bones are hard, knees I can't get down on my knees. But in the end, I have to thank my uncle and aunt, and finally return the house left by my grandfather to my mother, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to live like this now."

    The people in the back of the kitchen probably guessed something.

    These old men are crowded in the back of the kitchen every day, and their work is boring. A newcomer should take a few more glances, let alone hear the gossip news in the owner's family! Everyone stopped what they were doing, craned their necks and waited to hear what was next.

    But to their disappointment, Gu Yin did not go on to say that the daughter-in-law was also held by Zhao.

    The Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not very good at speaking. If Zou's family is here, there may be a fight. Gu Yin felt boring, and thanked the shopkeeper again, and then left on her own.

    Seeing the curious and inquiring eyes of the chefs in the restaurant, Zhao's daughter-in-law was ashamed and complained, "Mother is an elder, why don't you talk about her?"

    Zhao Shi was also furious, gouging out his daughter-in-law.

    What can she say? As soon as she came to Gu Yin, she said no, and she didn't have to be cheeky to stay in Mochizuki Tower. Moreover, her attitude is also to call people generously, and the etiquette is not wrong at all. Not to mention that the last time Gu Yin was in the Wang family's old house, she and Zou's both were not defeated by one person.

    The Zhao family doesn't have the eloquence of his wife Zou, so she can only be stabbed?

     Really want to break it up, Gu Yin carefully said that the Wang family wanted to deprive their house at that time, so do you want to save face?

    This Mochizuki Building was built after the family split up and they spent all their money on it. The business was not good at the beginning, and it was not until the current shopkeeper Zhou was dug from the state capital that he spent a lot of money to recover the decline, and the business became more and more prosperous.

    This week, the shopkeeper is jealous of evil and has a righteous personality. It is because he can't stand the evil behavior of his former owner that he is willing to transfer from the state house to this town. Zhao shi couldn't get used to him for a long time, so he was waiting for his nephew to replace him. But now is not the time to let shopkeeper Zhou be dissatisfied with them first.

    Zhao dragged his daughter-in-law away in despair, and the back kitchen suddenly became lively.

     "Why does the owner's wife look so guilty? Isn't she just having poor relatives? As the old saying goes, the emperor has three poor relatives!"

    "Hey, aren't you stupid, didn't you listen to what the little lady said? It seems that our boss is sorry for others first."

    Chef Zhao immediately retorted: "You guys are full of bullshit! How could the wife be like that? It's obviously that the little lady said no to herself, but it's not that the wife can't tolerate people!"

    Everyone knew that the chef was close to the Zhao family, so they didn't argue with him, just winked at him and gave a password.

    Manager Zhou didn't want to participate in the housework of the owner, he still thought about the pot of porridge made by Gu Yin.

    He lifted the lid of the pot, and the faint fragrance was replaced by the rich sweet fragrance that rushed to the face.

    Even the cooks who were gossiping stopped.

    Chef Zhao wanted to continue choreographing Gu Yin, but he stopped talking when he smelled the scent.

    "This little lady is really capable." He said embarrassingly.

    Treasurer Zhou scooped out a bowl and tasted it. The natural aroma of several ingredients in his mouth bloomed on the tip of the tongue, with distinct layers and endless aftertaste. Just this one-handed skill, not to mention helping the cook, this little lady is also the white case chef of Wangyuelou!

    …

    Gu Yin walked out of the Wangyue Tower and found that the snow was extremely heavy outside.

     Before she could decide where to go next, she stopped under the porch.

    After a while, when she put up her umbrella and was about to leave, Shopkeeper Zhou chased after her.

    He handed over a food box and said, "It's freezing cold, this is the Laba porridge that the little lady just cooked, bring a bowl back to warm up."

    Gu Yin has a very good sense of shopkeeper Zhou - the second in the store did not respect Luo Yi first and then others, and she was still enthusiastic and thoughtful even when she knew that she was applying for the job. Shopkeeper Zhou's management ability was good Get a glimpse. And when she was cooking porridge later, the eyes of others were all focused on her, only the shopkeeper Zhou was watching her gestures from beginning to end, not her.

    She took it with a smile, "Then I'll wash the food box and send it back to you."

    "The little lady will be delivered when she's free." Shopkeeper Zhou said in a low voice, "The little lady's craftsmanship is extraordinary, and the restaurant in our town with the little lady's craftsmanship is not good. There is more, there is another Hanxiang Building, the little lady can try it. However, the relationship between the back and the kitchen of that restaurant is a little complicated, and the little lady is more careful."

    Because it was not a relative, but the storekeeper Zhou came out to remind her that Gu Yin accepted his affection and said softly: "Thank you for your kindness. I also want to remind you that this Wangyuelou... Well, thank you anyway."

    Gu Yin looked attentively and focused when she was cooking, but in fact, she knew all the steps well, and she had already noticed that the chefs of Wangyuelou were divided into two factions. One is naturally headed by Shopkeeper Zhou, and the other is the attentive and flattering Chef Zhao.

    To say that Chef Zhao was not someone specially inserted by the Zhao family, that fool would not believe it.

    No matter what era in the workplace, factional warfare is a headache, not to mention that the other party is still in the upper nepotism. If one is not handled well, Manager Zhou will stand on the opposite side of the boss. Shopkeeper Zhou, like her, is a person who concentrates on cooking, and knows that he and those who blindly think about gaining power and flattering will not be able to win the top spot.

    But she saw this in less than an hour as an outsider entered the back kitchen. How could shopkeeper Zhou not know?

    So Gu Yin just clicked and stopped, and said nothing more.

    Treasurer Zhou also knew this, and was worried about it before.

    But it was easy for him to come out of the state capital, but he offended the owner of the big restaurant there, and it would be difficult to return to such a big place.

    In Hanshan Town, only the Wangyuelou family can meet his criteria for selecting a post. Like the Hanxiang Building that he and Gu Yin mentioned, the size is smaller than that of Wangyue Building. The relationship between the back and the kitchen is really complicated.

    He has no choice, so he can only stay here.

    Gu Yin saw the loneliness flashing across his expression, and her mind moved. If she had the opportunity to open a restaurant by herself, she would definitely hire people. The shopkeeper in front of her was not a ready-made candidate. ? He can cook and manage, he is a rare compound talent!

    But this is also Gu Yin's expectation. Now she only has a small stall, not even a small shop, let alone when she can open a large restaurant like Wangyuelou.

    So she didn't say anything, just asked the shopkeeper's surname, and after a couple of greetings, she left with the food box.

     Shopkeeper Zhou watched Gu Yin go away, and sighed in his heart.

    When he turned back, he saw many guests inquiring about Laba porridge.

    After all, Laba is also an important festival. When relatives and friends walk around, they will send a piece of Laba porridge to express their hearts and minds. Now the guests can smell the strong fragrance. out of new business.

     Shopkeeper Zhou was about to let people reject these orders, but saw that Chef Zhao had already brought out some Laba porridge for everyone to taste.

    Everyone gave a thumbs up after eating, and the order surged.

    Manager Zhou is not good at showing Chef Zhao's face in front of people, and when the guests are gone, he pulls him aside, "What did you just send out was the porridge made by that little lady?"

    Chef Zhao was dabbling in himself because he helped the restaurant get so much business, and he said with a smile: "No way. That little lady cooked less, otherwise we can order more today. Some get out!"

    "The little lady doesn't work here, how dare you..."

     Chef Zhao waved his hand impatiently: "The shopkeeper is so worried, isn't it just a mere bowl of Laba porridge, doesn't it have to be the little lady who made it by herself? You've seen it all over, and then you'll see me!"

    There is a saying that experts watch the door, laymen watch the fun, and there is a saying that a bucket of water doesn't make a sound, and half a bucket of water sways.

    The second half of the two old sayings are about people like Chef Zhao.

    Manager Zhou has to say more, Chef Zhao is already impatient, "I just did this after the boss's wife was still there, and she nodded. If you always have something else to say, tell the boss's wife directly! "

    After saying that, Chef Zhao swaggered away, and Shopkeeper Zhou looked ashen.

    Then the day of Laba, the customers who placed the order came early to receive the porridge.

    Chef Zhao cooked a pot of porridge early and packed it for guests to take away.

    The guests happily took the porridge back, and boasted to their relatives and friends that it was bought by Wangyuelou with a lot of money, and the taste is not comparable to ordinary Laba porridge.

    But when others taste this Laba porridge, they can’t help but think it’s exaggerated, isn’t it just an ordinary bowl of porridge? Also bought a lot of money, can really blow!

    Some of the relatives in the family are not in harmony, and they immediately sarcastic.

    The taste of this porridge is really average!

    Of course, if there is no pearl in front, this porridge can be considered to be drinkable, but having tasted the porridge in front, the gap is hard to ignore!

    Those who can go to places like Wangyuelou to order porridge are all people who have some spare money at home and know how to eat. How can they bear this anger?

    They didn't expect the porridge cook to change. They just thought it was the New Year's Day, and the orders for Mochizukilou surged, so they didn't do their best.

    The shopkeeper Zhou had a premonition that something was going to happen, but at this moment, Chef Zhao had already heard the wind and hid. As the shopkeeper, he had to come out to top the tank. , and additional compensation.

    Because of this, before the New Year's Day at Mochizuki Tower, I paid a large sum of money first, and almost broke the signboard that has been in business for many years.

    Wang Dafu, the real ruler of the big house at the back, came to check the accounts and scolded the shopkeeper Zhou severely.

    Of course this is another story.
