"Shen girl! My master, mistress and young master are here!"

As soon as Mrs. Qin finished shouting, she saw a middle-aged couple in their forties or fifties, well-dressed, walking in from the door.

Next to them was a fair and thin teenager, about twelve or thirteen years old.

Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment. It turned out that this was the young master that Mrs. Qin was talking about.

This is too small.

Shen Zhi was observing them, and they were observing her.

She has a small and delicate face, a pair of big round, watery eyes, and exceptionally fair skin.

Because she had been busy all afternoon, there were beads of sweat on her face, and her complexion was white and rosy, making her look even more delicate and beautiful.

Her hair was shiny black and was simply combed and tied at the back.

There are no hair accessories on the head, simple and refreshing.

As Qin Jiuan watched, his cheeks suddenly turned red. He thought the sister who was cooking for him was a chubby middle-aged woman in her 30s.

But he didn't know that she was actually a beautiful girl who was only a few years older than him!

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin also looked surprised.

Such a pretty girl can cook such delicious dishes.

"Hello, Mr. Qin, Hello, Madam Qin! Hello, Young Master Qin!"

Shen Zhi greeted with a smile.

Looks polite and likable.

The more the two elders watched, the more they liked it.

No one knew what Qin Jiuan was thinking. Before he could say anything, he took out the bag of silver that he had originally intended to give to Shen Zhi, and then rummaged through his pocket and took out a silver note.

He handed it to Shen Zhi directly, "Miss, these are for you. Thank you for coming to my house and cooking for me."

Shen Zhi's smile became brighter and brighter, and his eyes narrowed slightly. This is a silver note.

It's often ten or twenty taels, and there's also money in the purse. Her work this afternoon was not in vain!

What a huge profit!

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were also stunned.

Mrs. Qin's eyes almost popped out.

Her young master would never say more than a few words to any girl on weekdays.

The two elders of the Qin family were shocked by the money Qin Jiuan gave to Shen Zhi.

In their opinion, no matter how delicious the food is, it is not worth so much money.

They were businessmen, and businessmen valued profits, so the couple, who had originally planned to give some tips, decided not to pay any more.

This reward money is enough.

Shen Zhi happily took the money and expressed his gratitude again.

She had such a sweet smile that Qin Jiuan was stunned.

"cough--"

Old Madam Qin seemed to notice that something was wrong with him, so she quickly changed the subject and asked Shen Zhi if she was willing to come to Fuli to be a cook.

The monthly wage is ten taels.

The salary is so high, and the head chefs in restaurants outside are paid about the same.

Shen Zhi was dressed very simply and everyone thought she would agree.

But Shen Zhi directly refused.

"No, thank you Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin for your kindness, but I have something going on at home, so I can't guarantee that I can come every day."

There was a look of loss on everyone's face.

However, I didn't force it.

Shen Zhi took the money and couldn't wait to go home.

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."

Qin Jiuan quickly asked Mrs. Qin to send her off.

She left, and Qin Jiuan sighed. If she were to be a cook in their house, he would be able to eat whatever he wanted every day.

And this beautiful sister is so pretty! And she is such a good cook...

It would be nice if his future daughter-in-law could be like her...

After leaving the Qin family, Shen Zhi found a deserted place and immediately began to check how much silver Qin Jiuan had given.

First of all, there were silver notes. To her surprise, there were as many as 50 taels!

There was about eight or nine taels of money in my pocket.

Shen Zhi's breathing became rapid and his heart beat violently.

This young master from a wealthy family is really different. He can give a lot of silver with just a casual reward.

Although it was tiring to cook a lot of dishes in one afternoon, it was totally worth it.

This was her first time cooking at their house, so they gave her so much as a reward. If she continued to come in the future, I'm afraid there would be no more.

Shen Zhi hid all the silver in the space.

With so much money, I guess I can build a small courtyard.

Although their thatched house has been renovated, it is still too dilapidated and difficult to live in during the winter.

Having made the decision, Shen Zhi walked faster and went to the roast chicken stall to buy chicken feet. She couldn't wait to go home and tell Chu Changfeng and the two boys the good news.

When they arrived at the city gate, Shen Zhi suddenly saw someone selling candied haws, and he stopped.

Although these candied haws may not look as delicious as the ones you make yourself, children all like them.

Having made some money today, Shen Zhi was not stingy and bought three strings directly.

She doesn't like to eat it, so these three skewers are for the father and his two sons in the family.

When I left the city gate, the sun had already set.

The old man who often drove a ox cart in the village had already pulled a cart full of people, and Shen Zhi hurried over.

"Uncle, wait for me!"

Shen Zhi climbed onto the ox cart and quickly gave the old man two cents.

The three strings of candied haws in her hand were really eye-catching.

No matter whose family it is, even if they are willing to buy some sweets for their children, at most they can just buy a string for the children to share.

I have never seen anyone buy several strings like her.

Oh, no, except Chu Changfeng.

Before Chu Changfeng went to the battlefield, when he had only one son, Chu Jinzhou, every time he came home, he would either buy him candied haws or cakes.

Every time he rode through the village on a big horse, everyone knew it.

"Shen Zhi, why did you buy three strings of candied haws? Your family depends on you alone now. You have to support two sons and your husband. If you continue to squander money like this, how are you going to live?"

An old woman with gray hair couldn't help but persuade.

"Yes, Shen Zhi, even if your man is paralyzed, you can't give up on yourself and spend all the money in the family. When your parents-in-law come back, maybe your life will be better."

"I'd rather spend the money on buying candied haws on rice."

These mothers-in-law and aunts never had good things to say, but Shen Zhi knew they meant no harm.

She just smiled and didn't say anything.

The mothers-in-law and aunts had already guessed that Chu Changfeng was dying, and seeing her faint smile, they felt that it was a bitter smile.

Maybe it’s because there is no time, so I want Chu Changfeng to live the rest of his life well.

They sighed quietly in their hearts.

What a pity for such a handsome boy.

The ox cart was shaking and by the time we arrived at the village, the sun had already set and the sky was dark.

Shen Zhi had never come back so late before. She didn't know if the two little guys and Chu Changfeng were worried about her or anxious.

The two little ones definitely will.

But what about him?

Shen Zhi pursed her lips. Although he would always feel shy and embarrassed every time she teased him, would he really like her a little and worry about her occasionally?

Shen Zhi didn’t know.

After getting off the ox cart at the village entrance, she quickly walked home with the candied haws.

When he was almost at the door of his house, Shen Zhi saw the dim light at the door when he was still a few dozen meters away.
