Chapter 162 Wages

"How do you feel today?"

After solving the problem with Aunt Sai, Qiao Yun turned to care about Gu Yu. She now eagerly wanted to get rid of these things so that she could think about her future business.

Guyu said: "That's almost it. I think I can handle it enough. There aren't any particularly difficult dishes in your store."

Lai Gan also added: "When I collected the dishes, the guests said that she tastes very similar to the ones you cook."

Qiao Yun laughed happily: "Then it seems I can safely leave the store to you."

Although there was an element of praising Guyu in her words, she also watched Guyu cook a lot of dishes today, and Guyu's craftsmanship is now very good on his own.

Qiao Yun looked at Lai Gan and said, "If you are only responsible for carrying and collecting dishes, then your wages will be lower than those of Madam You. Do you have any objections?"

"How dare I have any objections!" Lai Gan chuckled and looked at Gu Yu affectionately: "My boss can just give me my share of wages to Gu Yu!"

Guyu's face turned red, and he laughed and cursed: "Keep your money yourself, so as not to spread the word and I become that shrew who is waiting to control your husband's money."

Qiao Yunpi laughed a few words along with a smile.

Really, I got a mouthful of dog food for no reason!

Qiao Yun said seriously: "Let's get down to business. Your wife's current salary is 500 cash per month, which is 16 cash per day, and it will increase to 30 cash per day in one month. Your salary is now 13 cash per day, and I will give it to you in one month. How about going up to twenty cents a day?"

"That's enough, that's enough!" Lai Gan was overjoyed, nodding like he was pounding garlic.

I used to deliver food in Ding Shiji, and the money at the end of a month was only 300 yuan. The rest was calculated based on strength. You can get how much you pay for the number of meals you delivered. It came and went in the wind and rain every day. If it was a little slower, it would be fine. I will be scolded by the servants of the guest officials.

He can get so much money every month just by serving dishes. Where in the world can he find such a good job?

Seeing that the deal was settled, Qiao Yun let them go back to sleep.

Lai Qian and Gu Yu returned to the west wing, closed the doors and windows, and whispered under the covers.

"The new owner is great! Meeting such a shopkeeper is a blessing that we have earned over several lifetimes!"

Gu Yu nodded sympathetically: "We must work hard in the future and not be lazy, otherwise how can we be worthy of our employer giving us such good treatment?"

"Then shall we buy a house in the future?"

Gu Yu was actually a little shaken. She thought about it and said softly: "I don't know. We may not be able to buy a house next to the owner's house. It will be inconvenient to work in the future."

"Do you want to follow her for the rest of your life?" Lai Gan sighed, "I'm useless. I can't let you recover. Now we don't even have a place to stay..."

Gu Yu's eyes suddenly turned a little red, and she quickly put her index finger on Lai Gan's lips to stop him: "Don't bother saying it, you can take out my deed of betrayal from the county magistrate's house. That's already a big deal." It's your responsibility, but don't feel sorry for yourself anymore, otherwise if you are better, how can I be worthy of you?"

"Besides, what's wrong with following my boss? We are all either literate or have worked hard all our lives. Fortunately, I met Miss Qiao. I can't find anywhere in the world with a lantern! She will definitely make a fortune in the future, maybe. If I will become someone like Shopkeeper Jie Da, I would rather work with her diligently for the rest of my life. When we get old, we will have a lot of dignity on our faces."

"You're right." Laigan sighed.

He also wanted to study and become literate, not to be rich and powerful, but to be like most families who owned shops in the county, to have enough food and clothing, and to be able to save some money over the course of a year.

It's a pity that reality is very skinny...

"Then what will we do with the money we saved? Will we put the money on the coffin in the future?"

"Look what you said!" Gu Yu pinched Lai Gan's waist angrily, and then said: "Don't we have children in the future? If we have a young man, we will save money for him to study. If we have a young man, we will save money for him to study. Madam, just save her dowry. My boss gives us a lot of wages, but we have very little space to spend it on, so we can save a lot."

"Now you are thinking about the little lady and the little husband! You used to say that I was impatient!" Lai Gan turned over happily and tucked the corner of Gu Yu's quilt, his eyes were bright. "How about that? …”

Gu Yu's face turned red. She sighed softly and quickly rolled up the quilt without looking at him: "I have to work tomorrow! Go to sleep!"

The lights were turned off on the Qiao family's side and everyone in the two rooms fell into a deep sleep, but not on the Liu family's side.

Butcher Liu felt sorry for his daughter who had just gone to work, so he stayed at home until now and even prepared a supper for Erya.

"Are you busy today? Are you tired? Have you been wronged? You must be hungry after a busy day. I left some food for you."

He placed the supper on the Kang table, including a bowl of roasted meatballs, a bowl of fried tofu with bacon, two sesame cakes, and a large bowl of rice soup.

Erya was indeed very hungry, so she didn't say much. After washing her hands, she sat on the kang, picked up a Hu pancake and took a big bite.

Butcher Liu sat on the other side of the kang table, poured himself a bowl of tea, and asked, "What do you mean by wages? That little lady is kind-hearted and generous, I'm afraid she is indispensable!"

Erya took a sip of rice soup and said while chewing: "Fourteen coins a day, paid monthly."

Butcher Liu tallied up the total in his mind and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, there are four hundred and twenty cents in one month! It's just a waste of money for you to take. I will take care of it for you when the time comes. Save it for you when you get married." You buy a set of furniture."

Erya's face turned red: "Dad - what you said has no trace. I don't want to get married so early. I want to stay with you for a few more years!"

She was a little sad.

Grandma left early. After she gets married, won’t Dad be the only one left in the family?

"It's all a matter of time!" Liu Butcher said cheerfully, "Every young lady starts saving for a dowry as soon as she is born! When you get hairpin next year, it's time for you to marry someone else. When you marry your in-laws, I will Stop killing pigs and go to Jiangzhou to enjoy the blessings with your brother."



As if she hadn’t been sad just now!

Thinking of the monthly money, Erya thought about it and asked cautiously: "Well, Dad, I am fourteen this year anyway, can I have pocket money?"

"Stinky girl!" Butcher Liu put the bowl on the table, blew his beard and glared: "You don't even know what our family is like, we still need pocket money! Your father, am I missing you to eat or to wear you?" It’s easy for you to think of me as killing a pig! Besides, what do you want the money for, other than to go out and spend it randomly!”

"I'm just saying this, don't be angry!" Erya quickly apologized with a smile.

Her father would stay up late at night to leave supper for her, would rather earn less money to have enough good meat for her to eat, and would work hard for her life-long events. It would be a lie to say he doesn't love his daughter.

But he also has the common problem of most lower-class people educating their children.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, Qiao Yun had saved her six cents a day. Otherwise, she would have no money to secretly buy herself facial oil!

Dad is not stingy about buying rouge and gouache for himself. He will buy her a set every year. Although it is not expensive, she does not need to use anything good for her background. But if she wants to buy something for skin care, that is not possible.

.

In Liu Butu's words, those are all bells and whistles. She eats fine rice and white flour every day, and meat every meal. The oil and water are enough on her own, so why do she need to feed them extra?

Erya's heart was also very tired, and she couldn't explain it to a rough guy like Butcher Liu.

It is said that Cao Ji's powder shop has recently released a new facial cream, which is very easy to use. It seems to be called Peach Blossom or something... I forgot the name. It is very effective, but it costs two thousand yuan!

She can save 180 Wen a month now, so if she saves more than a year, she can buy it!

Erya had no idea that the ointment was made by her shopkeeper. As long as she asked for it, Qiao Yun would give it to her...
