Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

After hearing this, Xiao Wan thought to herself, please don't harm other girls. Which daughter can tolerate being harmed by your son? How will she live the rest of her life after finding a man like this?

But she didn't say these words out loud. It was not the right time to say them.

Boss Wang seemed to see Xiao Wan's disapproval. He gave a wry smile and explained, "The county lady thought that I would harm a girl from a good family by doing this, didn't I? I will find the family that sells their daughter and buy that girl. After the child is born, she will live with us old couple. It is better than her being sold to a bad place by her parents."

"I can't really be considered as causing harm to anyone." Boss Wang smiled bitterly.

Xiao Wan blushed a little. She was indeed prejudiced. It was true that some families favored boys over girls. Some families even drowned their daughters after giving birth, not to mention selling their daughters.

Some families who wanted to sell their daughters were unwilling to sell them to wealthy families as slaves, but instead sold them to brothels to earn more money.

That is extremely miserable. In comparison, what Boss Wang did was indeed a good deed. As long as his daughter-in-law takes good care of the child, and Boss Wang and his wife take care of the child, they will not have to worry about making a living.

Considering that Boss Wang really has a hard time, and that he was considered an honest businessman when she dealt with him before, and was very prompt in paying for goods, Xiao Wan stopped bargaining.

Just based on the decoration and the free tables and chairs, Xiao Wan was getting a good deal.

Then came the question of staffing arrangements. Boss Wang was very sincere: "County Lady, I'm not a bad person. It's just that those guys are very efficient at their work and none of them are cunning or dishonest. They all come from poor families and don't have the bad habit of looking down on people."

"They are all hardworking and able to endure hardships, so I would like to ask the county lady for a favor. If you haven't recruited anyone yet, can you try them out for a while? If you really don't need them, you can always send them away."

"And since you run a restaurant, you'll need a chef, right?"

Xiao Wan shook her head and said, "I run a hot pot restaurant. I don't need a chef, just a chopping master. I don't need too many waiters, so I can only keep five of them. You can try them out first. If it doesn't work out, I'll have to kick you out. This is also because of your previous support for my business."

Although Boss Wang didn't know what hot pot was, he was very satisfied that he could arrange two chopping masters and five waiters.

The rest depends on whether these guys can perform well and whether they can convince the county lady to keep them.

There wasn't much he could do, and he had done his best when he was in danger himself.

"The guys who stay also need to sign an agreement, otherwise I won't dare to use them."

"Of course, of course." Boss Wang nodded repeatedly in response.

Xiao Wan thought that she didn't need to buy more people this way. Five guys, plus a few more aunts recruited from the clan and the village, would be enough.

As for her cousins ​​Xiao Erxi and Zhao Dayong, Xiao Wan planned to let them follow her to Liuguan Town, but she had to ask about their plans first.

Chen Youli followed Zhou Yaji to the county government office to sign the contract and pay the money. Chen Youli paid the middleman's fee, and both parties were happy.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Youli and Xiao Wan began to plan the restaurant, and the first thing they had to do was to renovate the tables.

Chen Youli went to find a carpenter to modify the table. He asked the carpenter to modify the table like a hot pot, so that the pot could be placed in the middle and charcoal could be burned underneath.

Xiao Wan had asked Li Liang to make a batch of hot pot before, but she had not yet gone to pick it up and had only paid a deposit.

Li Liang's wife was a little nervous at first. Having work was a good thing, but the county lord had ordered so much, and she hadn't come to pick it up for a long time, nor had she let them send it over. She wondered if something might have happened.

Li Liang's father-in-law is an optimist and believes that the county lady is not the kind of person who does things without a purpose. The fact that she was a peasant girl and was named the county lady, and that she opened a workshop, shows that she is not an ordinary woman.

He believed that these things would be of great use to the county lady, so he advised Li Liang to relax and not to make friends with people he doubted.

Li Liang felt that his father-in-law's advice was good, so he put his uneasy heart to rest and persuaded his wife not to worry. Li Liang's wife was also influenced by the attitude of the father-in-law.

Sure enough, the county lady sent someone to take away the pot and paid the remaining silver. The person was Chen Youli, who said that the pot had been left there for too long and occupied the Li family's space, so he gave some extra money as compensation.

Li Liang refused, but Chen Youli was firm, so his father-in-law asked him to accept it, as this was also a token of the county lord's kindness.

Chen Youli gave another deposit and asked Li Liang to make another batch of hot pot within two months. After they were made, they would still be placed at his house. The deposit was paid first.
