My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

She turned around and went back into the store to continue her work. Looking at the workers busying around in the shop, Huaying was wiping the table while thinking about what kind of position would be suitable for Dongxue so that she could learn some skills to rely on.

Dongxue is thoughtful, kind-hearted, and a smart child. She shouldn't have been following Aunt Zhang to farm at home. I don't know if Aunt Zhang agrees with Dongxue to work at Zuijiangyue. After all, most women in this era do some work at home, and few of them go out to work.

"Boss, are you looking for a store manager?" A kind-looking, fat middle-aged man asked as he stood at the door.

Huaying hurriedly invited him in. The middle-aged man said his surname was Liu. He had been the shopkeeper of a winery in Bali Town for many years. He returned home because his mother was old and frail. When he heard that Zuijiangyue was recruiting a shopkeeper, he came for an interview.

During the conversation, Shopkeeper Liu showed that he was experienced in wine, smooth in dealing with people, and proficient in arithmetic. Huaying was quite satisfied and glanced at Fu Shiyan. They both understood that the other wanted to keep this person.

Huaying gently said to Shopkeeper Liu, "Come to the store again in three days for another assessment. The one with the highest score will get the job, and naturally the salary will not be less."

Shopkeeper Liu naturally knew that he was not the only one who came to apply for this position, so he accepted the offer and left the shop.

Soon another middle-aged man stood at the door. When he saw Fu Shiyan, he introduced himself and said, "My name is Li Xiang. I heard that you are recruiting a shopkeeper." Huaying also asked him some questions and asked him to come to the store for another assessment in three days.

Several groups of people came in the afternoon. When it was getting dark, several young people in plain clothes walked into the store. One of the fatter men saw the broom lying on the ground and put it in a corner where it would not hinder the workers. Huaying, who was interviewing other people, saw this scene.

After the interviews, three people were selected. One of them was the young man who held up the broom. His name was Lai Fu. Another one was Lai Shun. They were cousins. The last one was Lai Sheng.

Huaying curiously asked why they both had the word "lai" in their names, and whether it had any special meaning?

Lai Fu replied, "We are all from the same village. Our generation is named after the character Lai. Everyone, young or old, has this character in their names."

Huaying finally understood and told them to come for training in three days. When the three heard the word "training", they looked a little nervous, but more excited.

They are all from villages near Taohua Town. On weekdays, they are either farming or working in the mountains.

I often hear uncles and aunts from the village who come to work at Zuijiangyue bragging about how grand and luxuriously decorated this restaurant is. All the young people are full of yearning for Zuijiangyue.

Hearing that Zuijiangyue was recruiting recently, they discussed it with a few people, dressed up and came over to try their luck.

Huaying sent off the last batch of applicants and rubbed her swollen forehead. She remembered that in the real world she was just a rookie in the workplace, but now she has become the interviewer. She comforted herself with a bit of amusement that this was considered progress.

Fu Shiyan came over with a lunch box and poured a bowl of eight-treasure porridge in front of Huaying.

Looking at the eight-treasure porridge that was similar to the one in the real world, Huaying, who had been hungry for a long time, asked happily, "Where did the lunch box come from? Who made the porridge?"

Fu Shiyan smiled gently and said, "Look who's behind you."

Huaying turned her head and looked back, only to see Xiaoshi Nuan standing in front of her with a smile on her face. Looking at this little girl who lost her parents' love when she was less than nine years old, Huaying remembered her sad time in the orphanage. She reached out and hugged her and asked, "Xiaoshi Nuan, when did you come? Why didn't you call me?"

"I came to see you and your brother in the morning. Seeing that you were both busy, I wanted to go back and make you a pot of refreshing tea. But then I thought you must be hungry, so I made you eight-treasure porridge. Sister Huaying, please try it. I added some herbs that can replenish qi and blood. It's not bitter." Shi Nuan's eyes were shining with stars, as if she was waiting for praise.

Huaying took her hand and asked with concern, "Did you cook this meal? Do you have a high stove? Let me see if you got burned." After checking Shi Nuan's arm, she found a burn mark on her hand.

In reality, children of her age were still playing coquettishly in their mothers' arms, but Xiao Nuan was sent by her brother to study medicine. In order to learn acupuncture, she secretly pierced her arm like a sieve. The stubborn little girl felt her nose sore and asked gently, "Does it hurt? Have you applied the medicine?"

"It doesn't hurt. Sister Huaying, please try it and see if it's sweet. I put sugar in it." Shi Nuan picked up the bowl and prepared to feed Huaying. Huaying was afraid that she would get burned again, so she quickly took it and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

Huaying took a spoon and took a sip. The taste was the same as she remembered. She said to Shi Nuan who was standing beside her, "This is the sweetest and most delicious porridge I have ever eaten. Shi Nuan is really amazing. But you can't cook by yourself anymore in the future. It's too dangerous."

Shi Nuan's face was filled with a bright smile when she was praised, and she nodded to her obediently.

Huaying asked Fu Shiyan to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks so that she could share the food with Shi Nuan.

After dinner, he took Shi Nuan's hand and took her to South Street, where he bought her sticky bean buns and red bean cakes. Seeing that Shi Nuan had pierced ears, he took her to Hongji Jewelry Store. When the store owner saw that it was Hua Ying who entered the store, he smiled and greeted her, "Miss, you haven't been here for a while. What drawings did you bring this time?"

The shop owner was smiling so much that his face almost broke out into a flower. The jewelry styles designed by this girl were very popular among young ladies, girls and ladies, and brought a lot of profits to the shop.

"There are no blueprints today. Bring my sister to choose a few sets of jewelry. I'll charge you as much silver as you want later." Huaying replied with a smile, then squatted down and told Shi Nuan in a gentle voice to choose the jewelry she liked.

The boss was stunned. It was the first time he saw her buying something. He said hurriedly, "The drawings you sent are of great help. You can take as many sets of jewelry as you want. How can I charge you more money?"

Looking at Huaying who was becoming more and more dignified, the boss remembered that he had heard some time ago that she came and went freely in the newly opened Zuijiangyue Restaurant. He was afraid that she was acquainted with the boss behind the restaurant. Such a big restaurant would cost a lot of money to decorate. The identity of the restaurant owner must be rich and noble and should not be underestimated. If he could get in touch with this person, it would be beneficial to him in every way.

Shi Nuan picked out a few pairs of earrings, and Huaying, who felt that she had picked too few, walked over and picked out a few more for her.

Looking at Sister Huaying's actions, Shi Nuan had a happy smile on her face. Sister Huaying was very similar to her mother in this respect. She was always afraid that she didn't have enough things.

Huaying asked Shi Nuan what else she needed. Shi Nuan shook her head. In fact, she didn't wear these jewellery on weekdays.

But unable to resist Sister Huaying's repeated urging, he had to take another jade pendant. Huaying then went to pay the bill with a satisfied smile. The boss said he didn't want anything, but just told Huaying to come and visit when she was free.

After they left the store, Shi Nuan looked up and asked Xiang Huaying, "Sister, is that the store where you delivered the blueprints before?"

Huaying touched her head and said gently, "Yes, if you need jewelry in the future, come to Hongji, and if you want to buy clothes, go to Yue Niang's clothing store. They won't cheat you."

For some reason, Shi Nuan felt a little uneasy after hearing this, as if Sister Huaying would no longer accompany her. She pouted and said, "I want Sister Huaying to go shopping with me. I don't want to go alone."

Huaying squatted down and touched her soft hair and said softly, "Okay, sister, whenever you are free, come with Shi Nuan, okay?"

Only then did Shi Nuan reveal her little fangs again.
