Less than a minute after Zhang Yi left, the three people who were working in the kitchen also came out.
In fact, they had finished their work long ago, but they had been waiting for Zhang Yi. When the three of them were in the kitchen, they had already discussed that they would start to monitor Zhang Yi more closely, to the point where they could not leave him at all. Even when Zhang Yi went to the toilet, they would secretly monitor him.
At the same time, they would strengthen the security around the restaurant. They must not let Jang Wong Clan be in danger.
When the three of them came out of the kitchen, it could be seen from the expression on their faces that they were not in a good mood. Especially when facing Wang Juan, the female boss, they seemed to lack some of the respect they had before.
"Brother Zhang, we're going back." Wang Gang said and planned to leave with Zhang Nan and Zhang Yu. They still had to catch up with Zhang Yi and keep an eye on him.
However, when they were about to leave, Wang Juan stopped the three of them and said to them, "What's the rush? There's still work to be done. It's good that you three finish it together. "
"Boss, what else is there to be done? Didn't we finish it already? The three of us are tired. "Zhang Yu said with slight dissatisfaction.
"If I say there's work, then there's work. Tired? It's good that you're tired. Whoever is tired, pay your wages now. Tonight, find a place to sleep. This restaurant doesn't keep idle people. Follow me to the counter. "
Wang Juan glared at him and immediately walked to the counter, indicating that she was really going to fire him.
Zhang Yu immediately regretted and panicked. He quickly said, "Boss, boss, I'll tell you later. I won't do it again in the future. Please don't dismiss me. I'm still waiting for this restaurant to become a big one. I'll be the hero."
Wang Gang also persuaded, "Boss, Xiao Yu is carrying things back and forth. It's not that she doesn't want to work. Why don't you let her go back first? Zhang Nan and I will finish the work. We will definitely do it well."
"Remember, I don't care if you're tired or not. Whatever I say is right. How dare you talk back to me. Is this how you act? All of you look like someone owes you money. As a worker, it's not right to show your emotions on your face.
This is called not being professional. Is it so easy to be a worker? As a qualified and excellent worker, the first thing he had to do was not to reveal any of his inner thoughts to others.
Even if he was full of anger, he had to show a sincere smile when facing customers. Even if the customers rewarded him, no matter how little the reward was, he had to show that he was flattered. Even if it was hard and tiring, he had to think about his purpose of being a waiter and persevere through it.
Look at yourselves, what have you all become? I asked you to do something in the kitchen. What was the expression on your face when you came out? What would I, the owner, think? Humph! "
Wang Juan put her hands on her waist and scolded the three people. Wang Gang and the other two were anxious. Zhang Yi had already left for a while, who knew where he would go.
However, he didn't dare to ignore the owner and go back to keep an eye on Zhang Yi. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the chance to stay in the shop.
The three of them were so anxious that they were sweating, but they had no choice but to hold it in.
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao also chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes. Madam is right. Look at the three of you. Just a little something in your heart reveals itself. It's obvious that something is wrong with you guys. What's there to be afraid of when you encounter difficulties? Who doesn't have difficulties?
Isn't that right? You have to be calm. As a waiter, no matter what kind of customers you face, you have to make them unable to see your true thoughts. When the customers find fault with you, even if you don't care, you have to pretend that you know you're wrong.
Calm down, you have to be calm, or you'll easily delay things. Just like your Brother Zhang, I also have my difficulties. Since I started working, how could it be smooth sailing? However, I've persevered. Don't you think so? "
"Yes, yes, Brother Zhang, you're right. Then what do we do now? Zhang Yu is indeed tired after moving things. Why don't I work with Wang Gang and let Xiao Yu go back first? "
Zhang Nan tried to suppress his anxiety and continued Zhang Xiaobao's words.
Zhang Yu's brows furrowed as she thought to herself, How can your difficulties be compared to ours? You're a cook. No matter how difficult your difficulties are, it's just less money. What about us?
"Why are you leaving? I didn't ask you to work immediately. Listen to your Brother Zhang, I think you don't want to be a good waiter anymore. You want to go out and work on your own? Let me tell you, although you've stayed in the restaurant for a few days, in fact, you haven't learned anything. A waiter who can't control his emotions is not a good waiter. "
Wang Juan stared at them and refused to let them go no matter what.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded to Wang Juan and said to the three people, "In the past, I also opened other small restaurants. I also cooked and stir-fried dishes. At that time, the restaurant was twice as big as now. Stir-Fried dishes are not as good as braised dishes. You know my cooking skills. There were many people who ate there.
At that time, I was very busy. All kinds of shouts from the people eating outside never stopped. Some customers even thought that I was slow in serving the dishes. They were angry and threatened to smash my restaurant if I didn't serve the dishes quickly.
However, even at that time, I didn't panic. I knew that I couldn't be distracted when I was cooking. As long as the dishes were cooked well, the customers' anxiety was another kind of praise for me. If I didn't calm down and put the wrong seasoning or too much salt, it would destroy the restaurant's reputation.
Even if the customers wanted to shout, I still had to prepare every dish well. That was because I believed that no customer would be able to destroy my restaurant. At that time, I had a waiter. I believed that my waiter would be able to deal with this kind of situation. When I couldn't personally go out, a good waiter would be able to do the job properly.
Believe in your own friends and calm yourself down. Sometimes, a crisis can be an opportunity. Don't think that you can do everything by yourself, understand? "
After saying this, Zhang Xiaobao didn't say anything. He went to get some tea leaves and put them on the table. At the same time, he went to warm some wine and went to the kitchen to cook a spicy chicken.
During the process, the three people found a place to sit down and began to think about things. Zhang Nan, especially, felt that the boss's words didn't seem to be about the restaurant.
Right, he had arranged people to watch Zhang Yi outside. Why were the three of them anxious? Did he not trust the people outside? He was indeed not calm enough today. He actually let his emotions out and let the two bosses notice.
As a spy, he should be more cautious at the more critical moment. What happened today? A crisis can be an opportunity? Yes! It seemed to be true.
When Zhang Xiaobao put the fried chicken on the table, the three people suddenly recovered. They looked at each other and saw the surprised look in the eyes of the other two people.
Fortunately, they were in the restaurant. If they were elsewhere, they might be exposed. In that case, not only would their lives be in danger, but it would also ruin their plan.
It seemed that every little bit was knowledge. They didn't expect that this simple and honest boss could say such profound words.
Zhang Xiaobao laughed and said to the three people, "Eat. My wife and I will eat later. These dishes are specially made for you. You drink some wine and I will drink some tea. After eating, there is still work for you to do. What are you afraid of being tired? Since you have chosen this industry, you should do it seriously and find pleasure in it, not treat it as a burden.
Being anxious won't solve the problem. When it's time to be steady, you must be steady. Many times, because of the panic of the staff, the business in the restaurant is not good. Don't think about it blindly. It's not easy to be a good staff. Drink. "
While speaking, Zhang Xiaobao personally poured a bowl of rice wine for the three people.
The three people came back to their senses and looked at the dish. They exclaimed at the same time, "Spicy diced chicken?"
"Brother Zhang, what are you …?" Wang Gang asked in surprise. He knew this dish and had eaten it. It was a benefit given by the boss. But the chili was just sent by the boss's wife today. How could the boss make it immediately?
"I made it specially for the three of you. The chili was just sent here. I want you to taste it first. When the wife of the Wang Mansion comes tomorrow, I will make it." Zhang Xiaobao said and gestured to the three people to eat.
Wang Gang first picked up a piece of carrot and put it in his mouth. After chewing twice, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother Zhang, you, how can you make this dish?"
Zhang Nan and Zhang Yu also nodded. They had also eaten it, and had even eaten several other dishes with chili. But they couldn't figure out why the boss of this small restaurant could also make it.
"Haha, I haven't eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run. There are no dishes made with chili in other places, but the restaurant Between the Clouds and the Water has it. I heard from the people who have eaten there, so I remembered it. Just now, I made it according to the method of others. What do you think of it? "
Zhang Xiaobao chuckled and explained why he could make this dish.
"Good, good, very good. Brother Zhang, your culinary skills are excellent. But Brother Zhang, the madam of the Prince's Mansion is coming tomorrow. We can't cook anything too spicy. That madam is pregnant. If the spicy food causes problems, we can't afford to take the blame."
Wang Gang took a sip of wine and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said, "I know. Chili is spicy, but I can make chili into chili oil. Chili oil is not so spicy, and it is fragrant. If you put a little chili oil in the dishes, it can improve the taste. Don't think too much. Eat. After eating, clean up the room. Zhu Yi has already cleaned it once."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaobao didn't accompany them. He came to the counter with the teacup and whispered to Wang Juan in a low voice.
Wang Gang and the other two didn't stand on ceremony. Chili was not something that could be eaten at any time. It was a good thing. They drank wine and ate at the same time. When they finished eating, all of them were sweating because of the spiciness. They opened their mouths and exhaled, but the spiciness was very comfortable. It seemed that they hadn't felt so comfortable for a long time.
After sweating and drinking wine, the three of them felt much better. They temporarily forgot about their previous worries and became more energetic. They looked at each other and realized that there was really no need to be so anxious.
"Brother Zhang, we are done eating. Your cooking is really good. Why don't you also sell stir-fried dishes in the future? I believe that it won't be long before this small shop becomes a restaurant. With your skills, it definitely won't be a problem."
Zhang Yu wiped her mouth and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and said, "How can I have the time? I'm too busy with work. After eating, throw the food in the kitchen and come back to work. "
Wang Juan also came out from the counter with a piece of paper in her hand. She drew it when she was whispering to Zhang Xiaobao just now.
An empty plate and three wine bowls. It was enough for one person to bring it to the kitchen and wash it clean directly.
Therefore, the three of them followed Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao to the storage room. They wanted to see how to arrange it. This was related to the safety of the Jang Wong Clan.
"I have already told Zhu Yi how to arrange it. But after thinking about it, it's not perfect enough. It's good that you guys stay here and continue to perfect it. Let me first tell you the arrangement I told Zhu Yi."
Wang Juan began to explain the matter to the three of them. When she finished, she saw that the three of them had a look of understanding. She continued, "But this is still not enough. There is only one door that leads directly to the outside. So, Shi Tou and I plan to make a hole in the wall and make it into two doors. We will go look for water and tools."
When the three of them heard this, they nodded repeatedly and split up to look for tools. They also brought a bucket of water. Because the wall was made of mud, they couldn't directly smash a hole in it with a hammer. If they really smashed it directly, it would be easy to smash the entire front wall.
So, they needed to use water to moisten the wall little by little. Then, they would use other things to scrape a hole in the front wall.
When they were done, two hours had passed. Wang Juan still didn't intend to let the three of them go back. She took the three of them outside. Under the light of the stars and the moon, she pointed at the firewood behind them and said to the three of them, "Set up some torches.
"Go make a few torches, then move the firewood to the new door so that people won't be able to tell that there's a door here. That way, it'll be safer. The three of you, remember not to tell anyone. If I find out that you told anyone, I won't forgive you."
Zhang Yu sighed in his heart. He was very helpless. He wanted to tell his boss that the three of them didn't have to say anything, but there was one person who would definitely tell. But he couldn't say it out loud.
The three of them began to move the firewood again. When the firewood was moved, the sky was already bright. The three of them were very tired. They were thinking about how to spend the day.
"Okay, that's all for today. Go back and wash up and sleep. We won't open the door during the day tomorrow. You can come back in the afternoon. Go back and tell Zhu Yi. This is a last-minute decision. I will write a notice and post it at the door.
You can go back. "Wang Juan finally said something that the three of them liked to hear. They nodded and agreed. In the" cool "morning, the three of them walked together to the rented courtyard behind them.
Seeing them leave, Zhang Xiaobao also seemed to be relaxed. He said to Wang Juan, "I didn't expect my mother to join in the fun. This is good. I think that in a few days, there will be a result. Do it, do it as hard as you can. Act according to our plan."
"Are you sure that the other party's main figure is in Hangzhou and not in Jiangzhou?" Wang Juan still didn't believe Zhang Xiaobao's judgment.
"There is a high probability that it is because Hangzhou is the most strict place. Li Longji is there, and so are our families. For them, it may be the most dangerous place, but at the same time, it is the safest place. I believe that they are not as good as me. Their anti-reconnaissance ability needs to be improved."
Zhang Xiaobao was not very sure, but he still chose to take a gamble. If the gamble was right, everything would be easy. If the gamble was wrong, he would first cut off some of the other party's people. Even if there was no one behind the scenes in Hangzhou, it was still very important to the other party.
*****
Wang Gang and the other two people walked on the road. When they were about to reach the courtyard, they very tacitly stopped and stood by the road. They looked at each other and squatted down together, intending to have a good discussion.
After a series of changes, the things that they had discussed in the kitchen earlier needed to be rearranged.
"The restaurant won't be open tomorrow morning. He asked us to go there in the afternoon. I don't think the restaurant will be open immediately in the afternoon. Then, there's only dinner time left. I guess the owner means to specially serve your master's wife this time. It won't be like yesterday when other people are around to let your master's wife eat."
Zhang Nan squatted down, found a small wooden stick, and casually drew on the ground as he spoke to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang took out an oiled paper bag from his arms and opened it, revealing the cut braised meat inside. He gave a portion to Zhang Yu and Zhang Nan and said, "I took it secretly because I was afraid that I would be hungry. Eating some meat is good for the body. According to what you said, even if Zhang Yi wants to find someone to assassinate him tomorrow, he won't have a chance because no one is allowed to enter the restaurant.
But according to the owner's wife, she planned to come to eat every day. The restaurant couldn't just entertain her every day, especially our female owner. She was about to drill her eyes into money. She was willing to put in a lot of effort to earn even a copper coin.
Tomorrow is good, but what about the day after tomorrow? As for that room, if Zhang Yi wasn't there, it would be fine. Since he is also a waiter, he naturally knows how to arrange it. Many arrangements to protect the owner's wife are likely to put her in a dangerous situation.
We have to arrange our men well, and we can't make any mistakes. Zhang Yi, if we don't want to continue to follow his lead, we would have already caught him. If we catch him now, if he still has a line that hasn't been moved, we will act rashly and alert the enemy. Once he is not in the restaurant, the line that hasn't been moved will have a reaction. "
Zhang Nan and Zhang Yu nodded after hearing Wang Gang's words. They were also worried about this. It was easy to catch Zhang Yi, but who knew if Zhang Yi had exposed all the lines to contact him? If he still had a line that he hadn't used yet, if they caught him now, the people on the line would find out and move immediately.
Maybe there were spies of the opposite party around the tenant's house. They didn't know who was behind the other party and why they were so strict.
"Fortunately, a small shop suddenly opened, which allowed us to find some clues. They even arranged people in Hangzhou. If it weren't for that shop, we wouldn't have been able to find them. We wouldn't even have guessed that they are definitely not ordinary people."
Zhang Yu shook his head in frustration as he spoke. Then he said, "Why don't we tell the owners our identities and let them cooperate with us? Although we seem to have a tacit understanding in the past two days, every accident has helped us to do things smoothly.
But you see last night, if we didn't arrange people and Zhang Yi went to find other people, what should we do? I'm really afraid that they will delay things at the critical moment. "
"No, absolutely not." Wang Gang objected. "If we don't tell them now, they will behave normally. After all, they are just ordinary people. Didn't you see that when the owner's wife came over, the two owners were so nervous that their bodies trembled, but they pretended that nothing was wrong."
"I saw it, and I also heard that Brother Zhang's voice trembled when he sang the folk song. That was definitely not the way a folk song should be sung. And the female owner, when she was talking with the owner's wife, kept wiping the sweat on her leg with one hand. I think she was happy and scared at the same time.
As you said, if we really tell them our identities and let them cooperate with us, I think they will immediately give themselves away and be discovered by Zhang Yi. Then the clues will be cut off.
Unfortunately, if they were our people, it would be better. In this way, we can cooperate with each other more tacitly and let Zhang Yi be trapped in the trap. Everyone who contacts him can be monitored one by one, and finally when the net is closed, we can catch all of them.
I find something, I don't know if you have noticed it, that is, the two owners always have a hidden meaning in their words, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. It seems that they know our identities.
For example, today, when we were anxious, they told us to be calm, to trust our partners, and to be professional. Don't show your thoughts on your face. Although they said that we are partners, why do I think they are talking about our other identities? "
Zhang Nan also agreed with Wang Gang's statement, but also expressed the doubts in his heart.
When Zhang Yu heard this, he laughed and said, "How is that possible? Our identities, before, we couldn't even guess who the other party was. I thought the two of you were just normal partners, and Zhang Yi.
It was the people behind us who helped us to investigate each other, and then we contacted each other. I didn't see the two owners have any other contact with anyone else. And today, I heard them say that where they were originally staying, I think our people should have gone to investigate.
If there was a problem, they would have told us, but no one came to us, which means that their identities are real, and it is in line with what they said. If there is still a problem, it can only mean that they are better than us, and they are acting like it is real.
But is that possible? Although the professional training I received is not as good as the two of you, I am much more confident than others. Look at the two owners, how can their acting skills be so good? Anyway, I don't believe it. The most important thing is, what is their purpose? Think about it. "
Wang Gang fell into deep thought. Indeed, as Zhang Yu had said, he had received the most systematic and professional training. If he still couldn't tell whether the two masters were in disguise or not, then wouldn't he have wasted all his time learning?
And as Zhang Yu said, what was their purpose? If the two owners' acting skills were really good to a certain extent, they must have their own purpose. Which side were they on?
If they were on Zhang Yi's side, Zhang Yi wouldn't be in such a bad situation, and they wouldn't be able to drive Zhang You away. If their acting skills were so good, they would definitely be able to see through the identities of the three of them, or make a rough guess.
But if they were on the side of the three of them, why did they give Zhang Yi so many chances? They should have cooperated with the three of them and then made things clear. But obviously, that was not the case.
If they really treated the two masters as some kind of power, with their ability to pretend, the situation that appeared in this period of time was very contradictory.
As such, they concluded that it was impossible for a new powerful organization to appear in this world. Even Zhang Yi's people were not powerful enough. At the very least, they had found out that the two masters were from a certain faction. This faction could directly contend against the Zhang and Wang Clans, or even surpass them. This was because they could not find anything wrong with it.
Zhang Nan thought the same and then asked, "Then tell me, why were the five of them beaten that day? Who beat them? "
Zhang Yu shook his head, "I don't know, and I can't guess. If you ask me, maybe it was Zhang Yi's people who beat them themselves. The three of us didn't do anything, but the two owners were so scared that one hid in the kitchen and didn't come out, and the other only knew how to shout at the door. After we investigated, we found that the two owners didn't interact with others, so it was impossible that there was someone protecting them all the time."
"According to what you said, are Zhang Yi and the rest idiots? If no one was beaten, how could we have targeted them? Would they have exposed themselves? Don't they know how dangerous it is to do that? "Zhang Nan asked.
"Zhang Yi hasn't guessed our identity yet. He only has a little suspicion. Maybe that day they were testing us. If we directly went to catch them, their other people on the line would have confirmed our identity.
We are different from Zhang Yi and the rest. Our purpose is different. They want to enter the Wang family, but we are specifically to catch them. Their target is not us, so if we have a loophole, we have to make up for it as soon as possible. For example, why are we still working in the restaurant when we don't get paid? "
Zhang Yu thought of this problem as he spoke.
"Because we want to steal the recipe to make the braised food. Let's not think about the five of them being beaten in the back. Just treat it as Zhang Yi and the rest testing us. When we go back, we can talk in a low voice about how to steal the recipe. Let Zhang Yi hear it, and even let him participate.
Then we have another purpose now, and that is to get in touch with the Wang family. Then we will meet a noble person and give ourselves a better chance. Maybe we can enter the Zhang Family and the Wang Family, right? "
Wang Gang said his idea, and the other two nodded in agreement.
"Let's go back. We don't know how Zhang Yi is sleeping. Let's not rush. When he gets up and gets dressed, we will tell him that he doesn't need to go there anymore. Then we will disrupt his plan and make him feel uncomfortable.
Yes, we'll tell him that the boss said to let him get up and tidy up the yard, water the vegetables, tidy up the other two rooms, and open the pickles to see if there's anything spoiled. In any case, we'll give him work to do. We'll let him work hard to finish the work in the afternoon, so that he won't have to do other things. "
When they stood up and walked to the courtyard, Zhang Nan also provided a good idea.
*****
According to the three people, Zhang Yi didn't sleep well. He basically didn't sleep the whole night. He wanted to leave the courtyard and get in touch with his people, but he didn't know when the other three people would come back. If he delayed for too long, the three people would tell the boss, and the boss would think that he had other purposes.
So Zhang Yi waited, waiting for the three of them to come back. But no matter how long he waited, they still didn't come back. Even when he was tired from waiting, he still couldn't sleep soundly. He wondered if the boss had arranged something important for the three of them again, or if it was time to discuss their plans after Madam Zhang came back.
In the end, under such circumstances, Zhang Yi became more and more tired. He thought that it would be better not to come back. Instead, he stayed in the shop and see what kind of work the boss had arranged for the three of them.
When the light from outside faintly shone in through the paper window, Zhang Yi was still lying on the bed with red eyes. With the weak light, he looked at the empty bed and muttered, "It's going to be dawn soon. Where are the three of them? Did they stay in the shop to sleep? Or did the boss arrange something important for them? They should come back soon. If they don't come back, I will have to get up.
The time is coming. They come to eat in the restaurant. As long as they allow others to eat in the restaurant, there must be a way to assassinate them. If one person from the Zhang Family and the Wang Family dies, there will be chaos. And Li Longji is also in Hangzhou. He must be very angry.
If the people from the Zhang Family and the Wang Family can be assassinated, he must feel that he is also not safe. Either he left, or he sent a lot of people to investigate. He is afraid that they are too stable and there is no chance to kill them. It's better for them to be in chaos. Hahaha, hahahaha. "
Zhang Yi muttered to himself. Thinking of what would happen in the future, he couldn't help laughing.
"Big brother, what are you so happy about? We heard it outside. Tell us, so we can be happy too."
When Zhang Yi stopped laughing, Zhang Yu's voice came from outside. This movement scared Zhang Yi and made him sweat. He secretly said that he should be more careful. Judging from the boss's words and the reaction of the three people, they should be loyal to the Tang Empire. If he said something wrong and it was heard by them, they would definitely report him to the government.
After warning himself in his heart, Zhang Yi said to the three people who just came in, "Nothing. I was sleeping and dreaming. I dreamed about something interesting, so I woke up with a laugh. You just came back? Did the boss ask you to work again? Well, this shop is not easy to work in.
I have thought about it. I will be a waiter for a few more days. If the salary is not increased and the boss doesn't let us rest well, I will not work in the shop. What about you? "
The three people didn't care about Zhang Yi's words at all. They knew that Zhang Yi would not quit.
Zhang Yu replied, "Me? I still want to continue working in the shop, even if I don't get paid. We were busy over there today, and I saw a few ingredients in the gauze bag that Brother Zhang put in the pot. Brother Zhang didn't hide it from me.
I want to perform well. If brother Zhang likes me and accepts me as his disciple, I can make delicious braised food. Which disciple will accept a salary? It's just that the master is happy and gives me some pocket money. When I learn the skills, the money I earn will be much more than the salary. "
After explaining the purpose of his stay, Zhang Yu asked Wang Gang and Zhang Nan, "Second brother, third brother, what do you two think?"
Zhang Nan smiled and said, "It's not easy to do other things. Besides, brother Zhang should have other things that we haven't seen. Haha, as for me, I will see."
"I'm sleepy. Wash your face and go to sleep. It's so cold in the morning." Wang Gang didn't answer Zhang Yu, and there was a hint of evasiveness in his eyes. It was obvious that he had his own little plan.
The three of them hastily washed their faces, took off their clothes, and lay down on the bed. They were covered with a thick blanket, which was much better than the first day they came to the shop. At that time, they couldn't take off their clothes, and they could feel the cold in the early hours of the morning even with the blanket on. It would take a few more days for them to feel so hot that they couldn't sleep at night.
Zhang Yi looked at the three people lying down and then looked at the sky. He was very puzzled. They were still sleeping at this time. When were they going to wake up? Did they not do anything in the shop?
He would sleep for a while. If they were still sleeping when he woke up later, he could go directly to the shop and perform. At the same time, he would accept the task of buying gauze. It would be convenient for him to do things.
At this time, Zhang Yi, who didn't sleep well the whole night, wanted to sleep for a while. He was afraid that he would fall asleep and delay the business, so he opened his eyes from time to time to look at the sky.
When he felt that it was enough, he sat up uncomfortably and planned to put on his clothes and go out.
As soon as he put on his clothes, Zhang Yu, who was sleeping next to him, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him and asked, "Big brother, what are you going to do?"
"Get up and go to work in the shop." Zhang Yi frowned and said. He already knew the answer.
"Ah? Work? Oh, I just remembered that I was so tired last night. I actually forgot that the shop was closed this morning. The boss said that we should have a good rest. Look at my memory. I just wanted to come back and have a good sleep.
The boss also said that you have slept all night. If you wake up, you have to do something. You have to feed the chickens in the yard and see if the grass in the field has grown. If there is grass, you have to hoe it as soon as possible. Also, you have to water the plants … "
Zhang Yu looked very embarrassed and said to Zhang Yi. The more Zhang Yi listened, the more depressed he was. His original plan was ruined. If he couldn't go to the shop, then he couldn't go out to buy things and he had to work.
Hearing that Zhang Yu said so many things, he estimated that he had to be busy all morning. But he was also sleepy. He didn't have a good rest yesterday. If he had to work all morning, how could he deal with other things in the afternoon? This is troublesome.
Thinking about this, Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and decided to persist for one more day. He would sleep well at night. If he really couldn't do it, he would stand in the shop and lean against the wall for a while.
After agreeing, Zhang Yi went out. At the same time, he was wondering if he could slack off and make the work look okay. Then he could find a place to sleep for a while.
Hearing Zhang Yi's heavy footsteps, Zhang Yu chuckled. He covered his head with a blanket and fell into a deep sleep. As for whether Zhang Yi would leave the courtyard while he was working, he was not worried. If he really left, there would naturally be someone watching over him.
When the sun rose and it was time for the braised food store to open for business, the people who came to buy saw that the store was still closed. Furthermore, there was a sign with words at the entrance. Those who didn't know how to read immediately went to ask someone about it.
In the end, they found out that the sign was to entertain the madams of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. The shop was undergoing an internal renovation. It was temporarily closed in the morning. Whether it would open in the afternoon depended on the extent of the renovation.
That was the meaning of the sign.
The people who came to buy things were helpless, but they could understand the way the shop did things. That was the madam of the Zhang family, Xiao Bao's mother. It was a great honor for them to eat here. How could they not tidy up the place?
If it were him, he would have kicked everyone out at noon yesterday. What if there was danger?
It seemed that he couldn't eat today. He would wait and see tomorrow. He hoped that he wouldn't only serve one person every day.
Although the store was not big, the sudden closure of the business had affected the lives of the people around it. Especially the people who came here to eat every day, they were not used to the change of location when they suddenly couldn't eat.
For ordinary people, they could still bear not being able to eat the braised food of this shop. At most, they could go to the soup pancake shop to eat noodles. There were also side dishes and drinks there. It was just a change of place.
However, it had a great impact on the people of the Fishing Association. They were all rich people. Moreover, Zhang Xiaobao always asked the shop assistant to stay there and watch others eat. At the same time, he asked if there was anything lacking. He made some improvements and increased the variety of things in the rolls.
It was gradually accepted by the people of the Fishing Association. They were all used to eating the food made by the shop at noon and in the evening.
According to Zhang Xiaobao's words, men were more loyal to the brands they liked.
When the people who came to get the rolls in the morning saw that the shop was closed, they wanted to break the door open and ask the people inside to make the rolls. However, they could only think about it and didn't dare to do so. Because the shop assistant had a good reason, they had no choice but to go back and report it.
Wang Ju had been living a good life recently. He followed the emperor to fish every day. Sometimes he fished in the lake, and sometimes he fished in the river. He had used all kinds of fishing tools. Even if those tools were not suitable for fishing in these two places, he still used them.
The development of the Fishing Association was getting better and better. From time to time, there would be people who applied to join. After paying a membership fee, they would be able to buy fishing tools and compete with each other to see whose skills were better.
Most of the people in the association were rich people. Ordinary people couldn't afford to buy things, let alone the rolls that were necessary to be consumed every day. These rolls were not cheap at all. A roll and the things inside were enough for a few people to live for three to five days. Moreover, they could still eat meat.
In addition to this group of people, Wang Ju also learned a good idea from the inner courtyard of the Zhang Family and Wang Family. That was to find local people who were good at fishing to join the association.
Some of these people were people who made a living by fishing for prawns at night. Some were people who also fished while setting up nets to wait for the fish. Some were even people who were trained by the restaurant Between the Clouds and the Water to accompany customers fishing.
The people who were trained by the restaurant Between the Clouds and the Water not only had to be good at fishing, but also had to be discerning. When the customers were fishing, they had to accompany them. Some customers liked to win, so when they were fishing, they had to be a little bit behind the customers, not too far behind.
When the customers caught a fish, they had to catch one after a while. When the customers caught three, they had to have at least two. When the customers didn't catch one, they naturally had to go back empty-handed.
If the customers liked to compete, they had to win and lose sometimes. That way, the customers would find it interesting. It was not good to always let the customers lose, and vice versa.
The inner courtyard's idea for Wang Ju was to find such people. Even if they didn't have money, couldn't buy so many fishing tools, and couldn't afford to eat sea food, they still had to join the association and play with the rich.
It had just been implemented three days, and the effect was very good. This group of people lacked money, but they didn't lack skills, and they liked to study.
They didn't need to pay a membership fee, and they only needed to have real fishing skills. At the same time, they were even paid. If the fishing association didn't have a group of people who were really good at fishing, wouldn't it be a joke?
They would compare with each other, and then figure out how to use fishing tools. After that, they could communicate with the rich. Wang Ju would provide all their fishing tools for free. Even the fishing tools that they didn't need would be given to them. Most of the fish that they caught every day would also be taken away by them.
One reason was to observe where the fish would bite the hook, and the other was to see what kind of bait they ate, so that they could judge how to find the most suitable bait and hook, and then correspond to the corresponding fish species and size.
Another reason was that after they finished their research, they could sell the fish or eat it themselves. For them, this was a good job with a high income, and it wasn't too tiring. At the same time, they could also treat it as fun.
The rich also liked to fish with them, and at the same time, listen to them talk about the various methods and methods they figured out, and improve their fishing skills together. It was a different kind of fun.
With this matter, Wang Ju wanted to organize a large-scale activity to invite all the members of the association to the seaside to fish. It would probably take a day, and they wouldn't be back at night. It would be too tiring to go back and forth.
However, going to the seaside didn't mean that they would be able to eat seafood burritos. Those were two different things. The ones made by others weren't delicious, so this morning, he ordered someone to go to the braised food shop and buy all the burritos in the shop. He also ordered them to bring enough braised food. If there wasn't enough, he would ask the owner of the shop to stop everything and specially make the burritos.
In the end, just as he was waiting for everyone to arrive and set off, the person who went to buy the burritos came back. Seeing the crowd gathered at the entrance of the manor, he walked to Wang Ju and whispered, "Master, the shop isn't open. They said that it's renovating to welcome Madam for dinner tonight. I didn't dare to knock on the door. What do you think …?"
"What? It's not open? What are we going to eat if they don't open the door? "Wang Ju was stunned and said anxiously.
"Then, Master, should I knock on the door?" The servant asked for orders.
"Uh ~! There's no need to knock. Knock on the door and tell them to do it immediately. After they're done, arrange for someone to quickly send it over. Give them more money. It's fine if they have to work harder. I believe they'll be willing to work harder if there's money to be earned. "
Wang Ju thought for a moment and ordered the servant.
Just as the servant was about to leave, the Jang Wong Clan came out from the half-opened door to give a blanket to her father.
When she heard this, she was immediately unhappy and said to the servant, "Stop, you're not allowed to go. It's not easy for them to open a shop. If they say they won't do it, then they won't do it. Earning money is important, but their health is more important. They work so hard every day and have so many things to do. How can I bear to let them be more tired? Can't the cook at home do it? "
As she spoke, the Jang Wong Clan's eyes suddenly reddened. Wang Ju was stunned. What's wrong with my daughter?
