Aunt Liu didn't understand what was going on at first, but when she saw this, she immediately rushed into the woodshed.

She took a look at the situation inside through the crack in the door, then told Leng Yan not to stay in the backyard but to go to the front hall quickly.

Leng Yan's gossipy soul was burning fiercely. Just when she was pricked up her ears and stared with her eyes wide open, wanting to see what was going on, she was seriously sent away by Aunt Liu.

"Mother, Sister Yan, what are you doing?"

There was no more room in the box for the dirty dishes, so Zhan Ying took the newly collected dishes directly to the backyard, but she unexpectedly saw two people prying through the crack in the door.

"Nothing!" Leng Yan and the other person said in unison. Zhan Ying is still a child, and they can't let her see these dirty things.

Aunt Liu spoke directly, "Girl Ying, take Sister Yan to the front hall, and call your second uncle Leng, Aunt Cui Niang, and Aunt Yao."

She was so engrossed in eating the melon that Leng Yan realized that she was still a child and could only follow Zhan Ying to the front hall.

After the last wave of diners left the shop at noon and the closing sign was hung up, Zhang Cuiniang and Aunt Liu came out from the backyard.

"how?"

Leng Yan and others who were waiting in the front hall rushed over upon seeing what was happening.

Zhang Cuiniang looked very unhappy and couldn't help cursing inwardly.

"This Aunt Wu is really out of tune. I felt sorry for her before."

She was furious when she thought about how her children were almost scandalized by such a dirty thing done by Aunt Wu.

Leng Yan was completely confused. She only remembered that this Aunt Wu seemed to be introduced by Aunt Yao.

She was not there on the day of recruitment, and afterwards, seeing that Aunt Wu was diligent and considerate, she did not ask any more specific questions.

It turns out that Aunt Wu, like Aunt Hong who was introduced by Aunt Yu before, is a person with a miserable life.

The difference is that Aunt Hong lost her husband and son, and was kicked out by her in-laws’ family.

But Aunt Wu was divorced and sent home because her husband abused her and she had no children for many years.

Aunt Wu was also forced by her family to get married in her early years. Now that she has been divorced, she is free.

Before she got married, she had a lover, but they were forced to separate due to various reasons.

Therefore, many years later, the lover who had lost his wife came to find Aunt Wu.

The young lovers, after putting aside their youthfulness, were passionately attracted to each other the moment they met, but unfortunately, Leng Yan ran into them.

Aunt Liu was also quite embarrassed, but she was too embarrassed to say anything in front of the child. Then she saw Aunt Yao leading Aunt Wu over, and she felt even more embarrassed.

Aunt Wu's hair was a little disheveled and her face was still blushing.

She looked ashamed and kept apologizing, saying that she had done such a thing because she was bewitched by the devil, and begged that she should not be driven away.

The Leng family offers such high wages and such good treatment, it is a good job that you would never find even with a lantern.

Aunt Yao also spoke kindly to her, "Boss, it's all Wu's fault. She shouldn't have offended the young boss and done such a shameful thing."

In fact, no matter what your private life is like, as long as it does not interfere with work, your employer cannot interfere. The mistake is that this incident happened during work hours and on your employer's territory.

Leng Yan, who has memories of his past life, is actually quite tolerant of this matter.

But work is work and life is life, and the distinction is very clear. Therefore, if you make a mistake during work hours, you will be punished.

"Aunt Wu, everyone in the shop has their own duties, but today, due to your fault, the dishes were not cleaned and provided in time.

When there are not enough dishes later, you have to call in other people to help you, which increases the workload for everyone. "

Leng Yan spoke softly, but her face had a calm aura that was inconsistent with her age.

"You did something wrong, so I think I should fine you a day's wages and use it to buy some melon seeds for the people in the shop to make amends."

"As for the others, please forgive me once, but never make the same mistake again!"

Unless her private life involves a disturbance in the shop, she has no right to interfere.

But even now, she couldn't intervene. She could only establish her authority while clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments to warn them.

"Oh, thank you, boss. Thank you, little boss.

Buy, buy, buy. I will buy as many sunflower seeds as you want, as long as you don’t chase me away. I will buy not only sunflower seeds but also thirst-quenching drinks. Just consider it as my apology to you all.”

Aunt Wu pretended to smile, thanked repeatedly, apologized and said nice things, and the matter was finally settled.

*

The next morning, the morning market in the shop had just begun.

Then a servant came to the door and said that his master, Xiao Pingyue, had specifically instructed him to inform Leng Yan and the Xiao family that the ship returning from Qianzhou would arrive at the dock in about two quarters of an hour.

After hearing this, Leng Yan thanked him repeatedly, then packed a portion of soybean-flavored pancakes and tofu dumplings and handed them to the boy.

"Brother, you came here in a hurry. I'm afraid you haven't had time to eat yet. Let's take this to fill our stomach first."

The boy smelled the aroma of the sauce-flavored cake and couldn't refuse it, nor did he want to. After thanking him, he turned around and ran back to the dock.

After Leng Yan finished the work at hand, he went to the dock with his sister-in-law.

Ships docked one after another, and the decks were crowded with people.

The aunt and nephew followed him for a while and saw the boy waving at them.

"Miss Leng, over here, over here!"

When they got closer, they found that Xiao Pingyue was standing next to the servant, leaning sideways and seemed to be eating something.

And the oil paper bag in his hand looked so familiar to Leng Yan, as if it was the fried buns with soy sauce flavor that she had just made for the servant.

Leng Yan followed to see the servant and discovered that the servant was looking at his master with a resentful look on his face.

"Master, Miss Leng and the others are here. Master, please eat slowly and don't forget to save some for me!"

"Mm, delicious. Miss Leng never thought that not only your vegetables are delicious, but also your breakfast is so delicious!"

Xiao Pingyue usually went to the academy to study early in the morning and usually had breakfast at home.

Only at noon, because the food in the academy cafeteria was not tasty and it was troublesome to have it delivered from home, did we go to the shops near the pier to eat.

Therefore, although he knew that the lunch food at the Leng family snack shop was delicious, he did not expect that the breakfast food was even more delicious.

Now I am eating this sauce-flavored pancake and tofu pan-fried buns, which are extremely delicious.

When the servant Ayang brought it back, he could smell the fragrance from afar.

Hearing that it was given by Leng Yan, he immediately shared some to taste it, as he was in a hurry to go out and had not had time to eat.

It would be fine if you didn't taste it, but once you taste it, it's absolutely delicious.

"Miss Leng, you have so many unique skills that I don't know.

Your cooking skills are truly amazing. Brother Sheng has a good eye and reserved you early on to be the chef for Madam Sheng's birthday banquet.

With your great cooking skills, the Sheng family will surely shine at this birthday banquet!"

"Mr. Xiao, you are too kind."

Leng Yan said calmly, "I just have the ability to cook fish. I caught the eye of Master Sheng. I am honored to be the chef for the birthday banquet because he thinks highly of me."
