Lin Shu ran over to open the door. Aunt Li carried some fruit in her hand. She smiled kindly and said, "Xiao Shu, is your grandma at home?"
Lin Shu smiled and called Aunt Li, and then said, "Yes."
"It seems that I came at the right time." Aunt Li handed the plastic bag containing the fruit to Lin Shu, "These are pears that Aunt Li just picked from the tree. They are very sweet. I brought some here for you to taste. I like to go to Aunt Li’s house tomorrow, and Aunt Li will pick it for you.” The geographical location of Qingtong Village is not particularly suitable for growing fruits, and everyone has no awareness of developing a sideline business. Every household is free to plant some plums, pears, Oranges, jujubes and the like are used as snacks for children.
When building a new house, Lin Jian felt that these fruit trees would lose their leaves and become bare in autumn and winter, which was unattractive, so he dragged his colleagues to help him find four sweet-scented osmanthus trees to plant in the flower bed in the yard. Nowadays, the sweet-scented osmanthus trees are still small, and the industrious old lady has planted green onion, ginger, garlic and coriander in all the places that the branches and leaves cannot cover, which is convenient for picking when cooking.
As a result, the few fruit trees that had been planted next to the old house were all cut down. Now Lin Mo is not interested in those sour fruits at all, only the little fat man is quite disappointed that he has no snacks.
Lin Shu happily took the pears, thanked them politely, and then welcomed Aunt Li to the living room downstairs.
It is said to be a living room, but it is actually just a cheap artificial leather sofa, a wooden coffee table made by a carpenter in the village, and an old black and white TV set on an old cabinet in the corner. Although Lin Mo made some money, after the money was paid back to Lin Changqing, there was not much left. Lin Mo had to do turnover and save money to buy a bigger shop in the second half of the year, so that the family could eat well and wear warm clothes. , where is the extra money to decorate the home
The old lady warmly greeted Aunt Li to sit down, and asked Lin Shu to find a cup to pour tea for Aunt Li. Aunt Li took a sip of the cool Eagle tea, put down the cup, and said a little nervously: "Second Aunt, I'm here today. I just want to tell you that starting from this month, I will not work in the store. Today is the 3rd, and I don’t want the wages of working in the store for the first two days. Even if I am an aunt, I can help my nephew a little .”
The old lady was stunned for a moment, but soon she came back to her senses, her eyes could not help but be scrutinized, and she asked, "You did a good job, why did you suddenly say you don't want to do it?"
Aunt Li's eyes suddenly turned red: "I don't want to leave either, but at my mother's house, my mother is sick. My younger brother came to my house just after dawn this morning and told me that my mother suddenly passed out while cutting pigweed yesterday afternoon. In the field, they sent her to the hospital for an examination. The doctor said her blood pressure was too high and she had to be taken care of every day, otherwise she would be at risk of stroke and paralysis. If something happened, how could I be willing to leave? I don't know what to do in the future."
What Aunt Li said was not entirely a lie, it was true that her mother suddenly fell ill and fainted, and it was true that she wanted to leave the snack bar and start a new business, but the two things happened to coincide, and she simply took the opportunity to quit.
Originally, she wanted to persuade Aunt Wang to do it with her, but it turned out that the surname Wang was very fake, saying that Lin Mo gave her a bowl of food, so she couldn't do such an unreasonable thing, and beat her around the bush . Back home, her man also got angry with her because of this matter, saying that everyone's relatives said that Lin Mo treats people fairly, and that she will poke people's spines if she does this kind of thing. She was so angry that there was no place to vent her evil fire. Brother Yao came to tell her this morning that my mother was hospitalized. After she went to the hospital to see her and came back, she decided not to do anything. Let the old lady quit her job.
How could the old lady foolishly believe her words? She said with a tigerish face, "The water poured out by the married daughter, your old mother is sick, and your sister-in-law and daughter-in-law will take care of you. You are married, so you don't care." Mother’s business?” This is the rule in Qingtong Village, unless there is no son in the family to support the family, it is the son’s responsibility to take care of the elderly in the family, and the daughter and son-in-law just bring some gifts back to their natal family to visit relatives during the holidays, so, in the village The old people often say that their daughters are money-losing goods, and they are raised for nothing when they grow up.
Aunt Li wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and said, "It's true that it's reasonable, but you don't know how difficult it is to be a parent. My mother is only my daughter. She treats me better than my brothers. Second aunt, what do you think?" Shouldn't I go back and take good care of her when she's sick? To put it bluntly, if you get sick in the future and Lin Fang doesn't come back to take care of you, won't you be sad?"
The old lady's face turned dark in an instant. Except for Lin Mo and the others in the village, how many people in the village didn't know that Lin Fang had a falling out with her because of her marriage, except for the fact that she hardly moved around and didn't kiss her during the New Year? Aunt Li was clearly poking her heart.
What the hell is Aunt Li thinking? She is like a bright mirror in her heart. She originally wanted to persuade her to change her mind, but now it seems that she is determined to leave. Since she was unrighteous first, don't blame her for not saving her face!
"It's her filial piety for Lin Fang to come back to serve me. It's her duty to take care of the family and not come back. Why should I be sad? There are some people, don't think I don't know what she's thinking! I feel the saddest for ungrateful people. Lin Shu, return the pears to Aunt Li. When your brother comes back, he will buy better ones for you. Don’t imitate others who have short-sightedness. It’s rare to see others have something. I don’t care about the things in the store. I can’t do anything about it, if there’s anything, you can tell Lin Mo and his son when they come back. My head hurts after being exposed to the sun all morning, so you can go back first.”
Lin Shu could vaguely understand that she didn't want to work under her elder brother's hands anymore, and grandma was cursing her at the corner, so she hurriedly stuffed the pear into her arms, and returned to the old lady, no matter what Aunt Li said, she didn't take the pear anymore. Aunt Li's face was completely shaved, and she finally left in despair with a bag of pears.
Because of this matter, the old lady was very uncomfortable, tossing and turning in the afternoon nap, she woke up Lin Shu who was stupefied in his sleep, explained some things to him, and rushed to Jincheng by car with the money.
In the afternoon, Lin Mo was very surprised to see the old lady. The old lady couldn't hold back her words. After drinking some water and resting for a while, she told Lin Mo about Aunt Li's departure like pouring beans.
Lin Mo was silent for a while, and said: "Aunt Gu can go if you want to go. Aunt Gu is making steamed buns now, and she is no worse than her. When I go back, I will tell Aunt Gu to do it first. Can you find another master?"
Lin Mo could probably guess what Aunt Li was thinking. Seeing that a child like herself can make a lot of money by using her mouth every day, how can she not be jealous? Steamed buns, steamed buns, Hanamaki, etc., she didn't make anything in the store. If she opened her own store and became the owner, it would be a hundred times better than working for someone else.
People go to high places and water flows to low places, but anyone with a little ambition will not be willing to work for others for a lifetime. Cooking itself is not a particularly difficult thing. As long as you are willing to work hard, the things you make will be It won't be hard to eat where to go. It is very normal in the catering industry to teach apprentices to starve to death of the master, so anyone who has some family secret recipes or cooking skills will be covered tightly, for fear that others will learn it. Of course he is no exception.
His formula secrets were all bought with a lot of thought and a lot of money. Even if he wanted to repay those who had been kind to his family in the past life and help them as much as he could, he couldn't be completely unintentional and unreserved.
He who was really fifteen in his previous life might not be able to deeply understand what is unpredictable, and it is impossible for him in his thirties to understand.
But you have to be generous, and it is impossible to write off the kindness that should be repaid for the sake of unpredictable people. It's also impossible to say that you are afraid that others will know that what you do can make money, so you hide it and don't ask others to do it yourself. If you really want to do this, you are afraid that those coal mine tyrants sitting on the treasure mountain will not be able to drive a Bentley BMW by themselves.
Man is a very strange animal. When you are weaker than him, he looks down on you and laughs at you behind his back; when you are stronger than him, he starts to be jealous of you and tries to replace you; When he was unable to shake him, he began to look up to you again, worshiping you as an idol.
As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs. If you really want to do something, working hard alone will definitely not work.
Since you want to invite someone, you must be prepared to be betrayed. Please ask fellow villagers who know the basics, maybe he will be jealous of you, start a new business, and exaggerate your income in the village, but because of the bondage of twists and turns, at least they dare not mess around. People invited from outside, without this layer of restraint, will only be more straightforward if they want to betray, and it is possible to maliciously slander you in turn. This is one of the reasons why many small businesses and small companies start out cronyism.
Aunt Li helped him for half a year anyway, she didn't think about it for a day or two, Lin Mo was afraid of being caught off guard by her sudden departure, so he asked Aunt Gu to learn how to make steamed buns with her, now Aunt Gu has already She has already left the teacher, and Aunt Li's departure will not have much impact on the normal operation of the shop. And he could just take this opportunity to sound the alarm to the people in the store, and take the opportunity to sign some restrictive employment contracts, so as to limit the loss of personnel.
Aunt Li thought that if she opened a similar snack bar, it would be as prosperous and profitable, but unfortunately she didn't know the secret recipe he added to the buns, pot bottoms, and sauces. Like Liu, no matter how good and sufficient ingredients she used, she still couldn't make him taste like him.
If you can't make that delicious taste, you can't sell things at a high price. In turn, you can't afford the high cost of materials, and eventually your income will be mediocre.
Aunt Li only saw that he was making money, but didn't understand the secrets of it, so she couldn't wait to start a new one, which was not a smart move.
However, she is really good at making pastry. As long as she manages well, even if she can't make a lot of money, it is indeed much better than working with him. In her previous life, Aunt Li had never done this kind of business, so he barely showed her a way to get rich, so he just repaid her kindness.
The old lady didn't know the twists and turns, and she was really angry: "Your child is just like your father. He is soft-tempered and easy-talking. He is not angry even after being bullied. No, I can't swallow this breath." , If you want to send us away in a few words, just leave, it's not that easy!"
Lin Jian is really kind, he frowned and said: "Mom, please don't say a few words if you are a relative, don't hurt your relationship. Just like Xiao Mo said, just go and hire someone else."
Han Xun smiled and chimed in, showing a sunny and handsome smile that can brighten a dog's eyes: "That's right, grandma, don't be angry, uncle is right, just ask someone else? Don't ask someone else, there is a ready-made one in front of you." , I promise to be devoted to Xiaomo and never do anything to offend him!"
Only then did the old lady see Han Xiaoren sitting next to Lin Mo, she wondered, who is this, what you say sounds weird.
