With this behavior, Luo Xiu did not chase after him, but retreated. He bent down and picked up the scattered hair and looked at it. Some of them looked like the wild cats born in the city, also known as civet cats.
There must have been a man who was killing cats in the alley. Whether he was afraid or wanted to catch them and eat them, he heard the sound of people and threw them out, almost hitting the county magistrate.
Luo Xiu looked around again, then turned around, returned to Lin Yuchen, and reported: "Sir, I didn't see anyone. Following the footprints, I should have fled to the end of the alley and climbed over the wall. There was no other abnormality. , there are hairs scattered on the ground, and it looks like the hairs belong to a cat.”
Lin Yuchen looked deeply into the alley, "Running so fast? You just stopped for a moment and then looked over, and you didn't catch anyone?"
Luo Xiu paused and said: "Think of it, he is a young, strong, and agile man."
This inference is correct, and one more thing... the other party should have reacted immediately as soon as the flesh and blood in his hand was thrown out, and turned around and ran away in a panic.
Lin Yuchen was thoughtful, his eyes dark.
The man was very conscious.
He just didn't know that he was killing animals in the alley and preparing to cook them at home. He accidentally took off his hands and threw out the flesh and blood. He was afraid that people on the street would come to settle the score with him, so he ran away immediately. Or did he intentionally throw the animals out? Flesh and blood thrown into the street
There are really too many people living in Yuancheng City. Because there are many merchants and merchants, there are also many people who go out and about. There are local people in Yuancheng who come back from abroad and kill live chickens, ducks and rabbits at home to make a good meal. Put on the table, it often happens.
So this is just a lump of flesh and blood... It really doesn't mean anything. After the shop owner vented her anger by scolding people, she also admitted that she was unlucky and treated it as an accident. She picked up a broom and sprinkled some water to paint the wall.
Moreover, the landlady took it out and looked at it. It was indeed fresh and good meat. No matter how prosperous Yuancheng was, most of them were ordinary people. The landlady saw that the meat was good, and actually took it directly into the shop and said I want to stew it and eat it! !
Anyway, this flesh and blood is considered to be unlucky when pickled, so if you cook it and eat it, it will not only overcome the bad luck, but it will be better.
The proprietress carried the flesh and blood, relieved of her anger and a little happy, and turned around to enter the shop.
Everything seemed to be normal. Lin Yuchen regained consciousness and could only say that something bad happened to him.
Lin Yuchen was forced to stop on the street for a moment, half-faced red, and then returned to the Yuancheng government office with Luo Xiu and the government entourage.
··
Yuanhe is about to sail in two days.
Aunt Rong was extremely excited. She was already preoccupied with business matters. She had made so much money by setting up a stall on the pier a few years ago. She was now in high spirits and couldn't wait to set up a stall.
Getting ready to leave the city, the housekeeper has been busy again in the past two days. Aunt Rong and other housekeepers wash vegetables, pots and utensils, making the whole courtyard busy.
Ye Lulun also left the housekeeper, looked around the village twice, found two women in the village, and asked a few questions about whether there were many mushrooms picked recently and whether they were stable every day.
The women in the village said that there were quite a lot of them, but the quantity collected was different... It’s hard to say, because the mushrooms were all over the mountain, but not every woman dared to go into the deeper mountains, and sometimes the big ones I don't dare to go too deep, and the mushrooms I pick may not be enough.
Ye Lulun knew what he was doing, nodded his thanks, and turned back to the housekeeper.
Passing by Aunt Xu's house in the middle, Xu Huang carried a thick tree trunk, gritted his teeth, and walked slowly to the Xu family's house while sweating profusely.
Now that spring has begun, Xu Huang naturally wants to go out and do some things. He can no longer stay at home and rely on the housekeeper's relief and help.
Aunt Xu had to burn the kang all day long, and the Xu family's firewood was about to run out, so Xu Huang went out to find a dead tree today and carried it back.
But after all, Xu Huang is too young, and the Xu family is too poor to have enough to eat. He is also relatively weak and not strong enough. It takes a lot of effort for an adult man to carry this kind of thing. Xu Huang should take it for granted. The resistance was so shaky that it was very difficult.
He exhaled and reluctantly said hello to Ye Lulu when he saw her.
Ye Lulu looked at him and saw that Xu Huang's feet slipped, his whole body tilted, and the tree trunk on his shoulders fell down!
"Ah!" Ye Lulu cried out and hurried forward to help.
Xu Huang's head was covered with sweat, but he didn't hurt himself. He avoided it and watched the wood roll down. He then picked up the piece of wood again in front of his house in a bit of embarrassment.
Ye Lulu asked him: "Have you gone out? My aunt is taking care of herself at home, right?"
"Yes." Xu Huang was very kind to the housekeepers. He nodded and said, "Yes, I will take care of the house properly in the past two days, and then I will prepare to go out of the city and find some casual jobs to earn money." I will return food to your family.”
Xu Huang's eyes were firm and he had a very responsible character.
Ye Lulu looked him up and down and asked, "You go out to the city to do part-time work? What about Aunt Xu?"
"Casual workers can go home every day, or stay out for a few days at most. There are many people in the village, and grandma relies on everyone to take care of her, so she can still stay at home." Xu Huang replied.
"What kind of casual workers are you looking for in the city? Isn't it difficult to find casual workers like this who go home every day? And there are many people vying for them." Ye Lulu said.
Xu Huang's expression paused, obviously he was right.
Then he added: "You can find some casual workers like running errands, servants, or carrying goods, or you can go to help wealthy people."
"Are these always going to have to be replaced? Are they unstable?" Ye Lulu asked, "And are they easily bullied by the boss?"
Xu Huang paused again and nodded again, "Yes, it would be better if I could just go home every day. I just need to put some effort into finding fortifications."
Ye Lulun pondered for two seconds and looked at Xu Huang.
Xu Huang was stunned by her look. After all, he was already a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, not to mention Ye Lulu was not much older than him. Although she was married, "What's wrong, Aunt Six?"
Ye Lulu: "Why don't you stop looking for a job and come help me."
Xu Huang was stunned and looked confused: "?"
Ye Lulu made a decision and said: "I want to make a living in the spring. Don't go out to find casual workers. Just help me with my work. I also need someone to help me with my work."
"Then you come and help me. You can earn money, and you can go back to the village with me every day without having to change jobs."
Xu Huang said in disbelief: "You...are you serious? Do you want to make a living? What kind of business do you want to do?"
Ye Lulu said: "In the cooking business, if I need someone to help me with running and lifting, I will treat it as an assistant. And don't you happen to be looking for a casual worker? Just come and help me."
Xu Huang was in disbelief, "Really, is it true?"
Ye Lulu nodded.
"Yeah, I just need someone."
Xu Huang and others looked at her with big eyes, and a rare expression of uncontrollable surprise appeared on the young man's calm face, "This, this..."
"You don't have to worry about the wages. I will ask about the wages outside and then give you a price. But don't worry, it will be a lot more than usual. After all, I have hired you completely, and I don't want you to go out as a casual worker. .”
Xu Huang's eyes widened, "No... I didn't mean that. Your housekeeper helped our family, it doesn't matter if you don't need wages... I just... don't know what I can do to help you."
Ye Lulu said calmly: "Just help me run errands and do some chores. Didn't I just tell you that what I want to do is a food business, so naturally I need someone to help me run around and do chores. It's the same kind of work you do when you go out to do part-time work. It's even lighter here, but you may be busier."
"Of course... of course it's not too busy. I'm not tired or miserable, but... just... if you really need my help, then I'll help you."
Xu Huang couldn't hide his surprise, lowered his eyes for a while, and agreed.
Ye Lulun said happily and simply: "Then it's settled!"
"I have been preparing for the past two days. If anything happens, I will come to you. You are always waiting." Ye Lulun had already given the order.
Xu Huang nodded, "I'll take care of my grandma, but I will definitely have time to help you."
At Xu Huang's place, he just thought it was Ye Lulu who needed help. He was grateful to the housekeeper and was willing to help with anything. If Ye Lulu asked him, he would definitely come.
He didn't even think about what Ye Lulu really did for a living and how he could be paid.
Ye Lulushi nodded and went back to the housekeeper.
…
After returning to the housekeeper, Aunt Rong came up to her and asked her with excitement: "Lulu, we can go to the pier to set up a stall in two days. The food we sell will not change, right? Should we prepare the ingredients for making porridge?" Right? The type remains the same?"
Ye Lulu replied: "Well, it's still cold at the beginning of spring. It will be cold for a while, but we can still sell raw porridge, and the number of glutinous rice chicken and steamed dumplings can also increase a little. Spring has begun, and the Yuan River is sailing again. It is estimated that people will There will be more, it will be lively.”
"Why!"
When Aunt Rong heard this, she laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes. She was so excited that she was so motivated that she wanted to continue working.
But Ye Lulu stopped her, "Mom! Don't leave yet, I have something to tell you."
"Ah?" Aunt Rong's blood was stopped and she turned her head in confusion.
Ye Lulun didn't seriously mention that she wanted to do business all winter, but she changed her method of making cakes, and the housekeeper must have thought of it.
Ye Lulu said: "Mom, as you know, when spring starts, I can move around and do anything. So I just thought, I want to do something to make money."
"Ah?" Aunt Rong was stunned and said wrongly: "Do you also want to go into business? Then you can take care of our stall. I can let you cook our food. Anyway, it's okay. We are a family, so you don’t have to do anything else, right? You also want to go out and set up a stall, right?"
Ye Lulu said: "No, mother, of course you are the one running the stall at home now. I don't mean to take away the manager of the stall. I just want to say that I also want to do another business, which is also about food." .”
Aunt Rong didn't understand even more, "We already have a stall to make a living at home, and the business is not bad. We are too busy. Wouldn't it be better if you help the stall at home and go out together? Why do we have to do something else? What about making a living?"
Ye Lulu wanted to say that because I have the freedom to be a human being and have my own ideas, I can do whatever I want.
But she did not change her color and said with a smile: "No, mother, think about it, can eggs be put in a basket? That is, if you have a lot of eggs, all put in a basket, then if you accidentally break them If you turn over that basket, will all the eggs be broken? No one will be left?"
Aunt Rong was confused and said: "Yes..."
"We already have a stall at home, and the business is very good. This is a good thing, so Mom, you continue to take care of it. Don't give it to me. I don't mean to rob it. But, Mom, tell me, I am good at making food. OK"
Ye Lulu asked Aunt Rong in a seductive manner.
Aunt Rong nodded, "Of course that's good. Lulu, your cooking skills are much better than my mother..."
"That's it, mother, do you think it would be good for me to use my skills to sell food and start another business?" Ye Lulu said with a smile: "My family has mother's business, and I have the skills, so what else can I do?" If we go into another business, then our family will have two businesses. I have spare energy, and if our family earns one more penny, wouldn’t it be better?”
Aunt Rong understood a little bit and said: "That's what I'm saying. It's just that the business at home is already very busy and there are not enough people. You want to start another business by yourself, can you do it?"
Ye Lulu nodded and said: "I'll just hire a helper. I'll set up another stall. My skills can handle it. When we two stalls go out, we'll have someone to take care of us. But mom, don't deny that you're looking for someone." Think about it, our family now has three babies under one year old, is it difficult to raise them?"
Aunt Rong originally wanted to say that hiring people was unnecessary. After hearing this, she nodded awkwardly, but then said: "But our current business is enough to make money, and we can raise three babies. You can come and help me." , a family can definitely make more money by working together.”
"Then if you can earn an extra penny, why not?" Ye Lulu asked Aunt Rong softly.
She is a modern person. Even though she was only a college student before she came here, she already knows how to look at the situation and how to be patient.
This is the characteristic of the new generation of young people in modern times. They are precocious and familiar with people's affairs.
The housekeeper is not bad, on the contrary, he is very good. I really have no choice in the housekeeper, and the family is particularly close and harmonious. It is precisely because of this that Ye Lulu has to take care of the baby and has to live alone. She wants to live alone. Too chic.
The housekeeper had never thought about separation. Although Ye Lulu was a modern soul, he currently had no desire to live alone.
There are just some things that she must do and gain her own autonomy. Doing business is a matter of doing it bit by bit, slowly and gradually.
So Ye Lulun didn't lose his temper and kept his tone gentle.
Aunt Rong was led away by her in a daze, and then hesitantly said: "That's the case..."
Yes, you can earn two shares of money, why insist on earning only one share
"The three babies are all under one year old, and they still have money to support. There are also a lot of children in the family. I am not a person who favors one and the other, as you know, mother. So this is why I want to do more business. If we raise our three babies well, don’t we care about the other children in the family? Then we must raise them well.”
