Chapter 1736 Elm lump
"Jin Hong, you don't know that the restaurant run by my second brother and fifth uncle does not belong to them. The real boss is my cousin Qing'er." Yang Yongzhi said.
"ah?"
Chen Jinhong was surprised.
"I thought your fourth aunt and the others were joking, but it turns out this is really the case? Your cousin and cousin-in-law are so awesome!" Chen Jinhong said.
Yang Yongzhi nodded: "Both of them are very good at things. My cousin is in business at home, and my cousin's husband is a general in the southern military camp."
It turns out that young and handsome cousin-in-law is a general? A high official!
A flash of surprise flashed across Chen Jinhong's eyes.
"Yongzhi, let's continue what we said. What I mean is that someday you should go and say good things to Sister Qing'er and ask her to arrange a job for you in the restaurant."
"What?" Yang Yongzhi was stunned.
"I'm studying carpentry, how can I lose my skill?" he said.
Chen Jinhong said: "Don't be stubborn. You have to be flexible as a person. If I tell you to go, just go. I won't harm you. I am doing it for the good of our family!"
"But……"
"There's nothing wrong with it. Just put your carpentry work aside for a while and do as I say. If you want our family to be good!"
Seeing how stubborn Chen Jinhong was, Yang Yongzhi thought for a while, "Okay, I'll see an opportunity in the next two days to talk to my cousin."
"That's right. Come on, it's getting late. Let's go to bed quickly."
Chen Jinhong said.
Lying on the bed, the exhausted Yang Yongzhi fell asleep quickly.
Chen Jinhong, however, was completely sleepless. She was lying there, thinking about her next plan...
…
A few days later, in the morning, Yang Ruoqing and Xiao Yaxue were basking in the sun in the yard, feeding baby Luo egg custard.
Yang Yongzhi is here.
"Sister Qing'er, you are at home..."
He rubbed his hands and stood there, looking a little reserved.
Not to mention this cousin, he is unfamiliar with all the other cousins.
After shouting for a while, he just stood there, not knowing what to say in the next game.
Yang Ruoqing was surprised when she saw Yang Yongzhi coming, then handed the egg bowl to Xiao Yaxue, got up and came over to Yang Yongzhi.
"Third brother, why do you have time to come to my place today? Come on, drink tea in the room." She greeted with a smile.
Yang Yongzhi smiled and glanced at Baby Luo over there: "You haven't had breakfast yet?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "We have all eaten, but she hasn't. Let her godmother feed her. It will be fine."
"Come, third brother, sit down in the main room."
In the hall, Yang Yongzhi was sitting in the elegant and luxurious hall, touching the chair made of fine wood under his buttocks.
His eyes swept over the furniture in the main room.
He is an expert in this area, and these furniture are of the highest quality, both in terms of the materials used and the craftsmanship of the people who made them.
Not to mention the furniture in the backyard room, the furniture and furnishings in this main room alone cost at least ten taels of silver.
An average family of six spends three years!
This cousin is really rich, Yang Yongzhi thought to himself.
"Come, third brother, have a sip of tea."
The gentle and kind voice reached his ears, Yang Yongzhi came back to his senses and saw that Yang Ruoqing had brought a bowl of hot tea over.
He stood up hurriedly and took the tea, "Where is my brother-in-law? Why haven't you seen him?"
Yang Ruoqing was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's been frosty these past few days, so he went over to my parents' house early in the morning to help my father and the others plant wheat!"
"Oh!" Yang Yongzhi nodded.
He still knows a little bit about the proverbs used by farmers to arrange farm work, such as "cold dew seeds" and "frost drops wheat".
"Third brother, do you have anything to do with Tang Yazi? They grow wheat in the fields at the south end of the village. If you are in a hurry, you can go there to find..." Yang Ruoqing looked at Yang Yongzhi who looked distracted.
Looks like this, so he said.
Yang Yongzhi came back to his senses and shook his head at Yang Ruoqing.
"No, it's okay."
"Third brother, I'm here today because I want to ask Miss Qing'er for a favor!"
Looking for me?
Yang Ruoqing was surprised. She had a very distant relationship with this third brother and had never interacted with him before.
"What's the matter? Third brother, please tell me." She smiled and sat down on the stool opposite him.
Yang Yongzhi took a deep breath, as if he was organizing words, and seemed to muster up great courage to say the next thing.
"What about that, Qing'er, third brother wants you to arrange an errand for you in the restaurant..." he said.
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows.
"Didn't the third brother leave home and go to his master's house to learn carpentry skills since he was ten years old? Why now..." she asked.
Yang Yongzhi smiled bitterly: "It's a hard job and you can't make much money."
"The farmer is looking for someone to do carpentry work. It would be good if he can do it for five or six days a month. I have been thinking about it and want to find someone who can make money quickly." He said.
This is quite true.
The villagers' clothes take three years to make new ones, three years to wear old ones, and three more years to sew and mend them.
There are pieces of furniture, lame stools, crooked tables, squeaking beds, and drafty windows everywhere.
Unless someone plans to build a new house or get married, there is no need to hire a carpenter to do the work at home.
Other times, there is almost no market.
Of course, the exception is in towns.
In towns, because of the relatively large population, you can rent a shop to make furniture for sale, but this requires a certain amount of capital.
"Third brother, what do you mean, you want to give up your carpentry skills and work in a restaurant?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Yang Yongzhi smiled: "To be honest, I don't want to give up carpentry. I have been learning this since I was a teenager."
"I'm not in a hurry to make money,"
"The three acres of land your grandparents allocated to us will not produce a harvest this year. It will only be harvested in April or May next year."
"It's only mid-September right now, and there are still more than seven months. It's too difficult to live on the money I make as a carpenter. There's also the Chinese New Year in between, and there are still expenses..." Yang Yongzhi said.
After listening to what Yang Yongzhi said, Yang Ruoqing felt that it made sense.
In my heart, I also admired my third cousin for his eagerness to support his family.
Being a man requires a sense of responsibility.
"Third brother, it's like this," Yang Ruoqing spoke again: "As for restaurants, there is one in Qingshui Town, one in Huguang County, and two in the south."
"Since Hong'er is so young, Third Sister-in-law can't live without you, so even if you work in a restaurant, you can't be too far away and can only be in Qingshui Town."
"As for the management and procurement tasks in the Qingshui Town restaurant, there are fixed people doing them."
"There are no vacancies for you in those positions. I hope you can understand this." Yang Ruoqing said truthfully.
Yang Yongzhi looked a little embarrassed, but he still nodded in understanding.
Yang Ruoqing continued: "If Third Brother wants to do errands, he can only start from the lowest level as a waiter."
