"These bastards, all the money they borrowed ran away, faster than rabbits!" Fatty Zhao scolded the group of people from behind, but Wang Xiaoliu stopped him.

"Forget it, let them go!" Wang Xiaoliu said.

At this moment, the stall owner came over.

"Two guests, may I ask who of you will pay the bill?" the stall owner looked at the five or six empty bowls on the table and asked with a smile.

Fatty Zhao and Wang Xiaoliu were both stunned for a moment.

"These idiots ran away without even giving me any money. I'm going to chase them back!"

Fatty Zhao stood up and was about to chase after him, but was grabbed by Wang Xiaoliu again.

"Forget it, I'll give it to you. They've already run away and you can't catch up!" Wang Xiaoliu said, taking out all the belongings from his waist and putting them on the table.

Spread out flat, there are twenty copper plates.

"Shopkeeper, how much is the total?" Wang Xiaoliu asked.

The shopkeeper glanced at the twenty copper plates and said, "Six yuan a bowl, a total of thirty-six cents."

Wang Xiaoliu glanced at Fatty Zhao: "There are still sixteen coins left..."

Fatty Zhao took out an ingot of broken silver and a handful of copper coins from his waist.

He directly counted thirty-six cents and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Brother Zhao, how can I ask you to pay? Let's split it between us!"

Wang Xiaoliu wanted to stuff his twenty coins no matter what, but Fatty Zhao stopped him.

"You don't have any errands anymore. I still have an errand after all. I got my wages years ago. You can keep your money. For twenty cents, you can buy a pound of pork belly and two packs of dumpling wrappers. I can go back to the old man to drink and the children to beat their teeth. There's no need to do that.

Pay the bill to those idiots!" Fatty Zhao said.

Wang Xiaoliu looked touched and took back his twenty coins.

Fatty Zhao finished paying the bill, and then pushed the broken silver coin on the table to Wang Xiaoliu: "This silver is less than one tael, only about seven or eight hundred yuan. You can buy some rice to hold on.

Just wait until you find a job after the New Year."

Wang Xiaoliu's eyes turned red, "Brother Zhao, it's not easy for you at home. My sister-in-law is in poor health and takes medicine all the time. The whole family relies on you to help people unload goods at the dock. How can I ask for your money!"

Fatty Zhao said: "If you are a brother, don't say such unreasonable things. In my family, at least my son is working as an apprentice and will be able to come out to work after the new year. My daughter is taking care of my daughter-in-law at home, and the family's life can still be decent!"

"Your family is different. There are seniors above and young below, and the whole family depends on you to support them. You keep it first, and then pay me back when you find a job and make money!"

Just when the two people were at loggerheads, a piece of silver was thrown in front of Wang Xiaoliu.

He was startled for a moment, then looked up and saw the young man and woman at the next table looking at them. Apparently, they had lost the money.

"You two, what does this mean?" Wang Xiaoliu asked in surprise, but did not reach out to take the silver.

Luo Fengtang didn't say anything. He left these matters and occasions to Yang Ruoqing to perform.

Faced with Wang Xiaoliu's question, Yang Ruoqing said: "Wang Xiaoliu, right? This ingot of silver is the salary I paid you in advance. If you are willing, you can come to Tianxiang Tower next year to work. How about it?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoliu's eyes flashed with surprise.

Fatty Zhao, who was sitting next to him, got excited and immediately nodded and agreed on behalf of Wang Xiaoliu.

Wang Xiaoliu held down Fatty Zhao's arm. He held down the joy and said to Yang Ruoqing: "May I ask this lady, which restaurant are you talking about? Where is it?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Have you ever heard of Tianxiang Tower in the county town?"

Wang Xiaoliu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He nodded like something, "Of course I've heard of it. Who of us working in the county doesn't know the name of Tianxiang Tower? We who are in the rice and grain business all want to do business with Tianxiang Tower.

They specialize in rice!”

"They all said that the prices offered by Tianxiang Restaurant are higher than other restaurants, and the sales are fair and honest. Moreover, the big owner behind it is the wife of the general who protects the country..."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoliu was suddenly stunned.

His eyes widened, he looked at Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, and suddenly stood up from the stool, habitually kneeling down to kowtow to the noble.

Luo Fengtang also habitually raised his slender legs to support Wang Xiaoliu: "My wife doesn't like this, you sit down and talk."

At this point, it has been tacitly acknowledged that they are the famous General Protector and his wife.

Wang Xiaoliu suppressed his excitement and sat down. He glanced at Fatty Zhao, who was also so excited that his mouth grinned to one side.

It was obviously Yang Ruoqing who was extending an olive branch to Wang Xiaoliu, but both of them looked at Luo Fengtang with admiring eyes.

This made Luo Fengtang feel that he seemed to have stolen his wife's limelight, so he coughed lightly and said, "My wife is asking you something, please answer truthfully."

Wang Xiaoliu suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Yang Ruoqing again, nodding like a rattle.

"Thank you, Madam General, for taking care of me. I am happy for you. I am happy for you!" Wang Xiaoliu said.

"Just call me boss from now on." Yang Ruoqing said with a slight smile.

Wang Xiaoliu nodded again, "You can call me whatever you want me to call you. It's just that I don't dare to finish my term. I don't have much ability. I used to work as a boy weighing rice in a rice and grain shop in the county town."

, I went to a restaurant now, I’m worried that I..."

"When you go to a restaurant, according to the rules, if you don't have experience or expertise in this area, you should start as a waiter." Yang Ruoqing said.

Wang Xiaoliu nodded and looked at Yang Ruoqing without blinking, waiting for her next words.

"You are weighing rice at the rice store, how do you calculate the monthly payment?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "Eight hundred coins a month. During the holidays, we will be rewarded one or two catties each for the old rice and wheat flour that cannot be sold in the shop."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing turned her head and looked at Luo Fengtang.

A hint of smile flashed across Luo Fengtang's eyes.

Yes, this kind of treatment is really at the lowest level in the county town, and it can only feed a family of six or seven people with 70% of their food.

In addition, I can't save a penny. If someone in my family gets sick and needs medicine to see a doctor, or to have new clothes made, I will have to pay for it.

Visiting relatives and friends, and the favor exchanges between relatives and friends are not included in this!

"Wang Xiaoliu, how do you persist with such a low salary?" Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but asked curiously.

Fatty Zhao on the side was also stunned.

"No wonder when we asked you to come out for a drink in the past, you always had a couple of excuses to shirk it. It seems that your children hardly change into any new clothes all year round." Fatty Zhao said.

"After working for a long time, your monthly turnover in the rice and grain shop is so few? My brother Xiaoliuzi, why don't you change your career?"

"Eight hundred coins a month, if it were me, I would be so desperate that I would quit working long ago!" Fatty Zhao said again.

Wang Xiaoliu laughed bitterly and said: "I personally feel that there is no hope of doing anything there, but I thought that as long as I persist and work hard, the shopkeeper will see my good deeds and give me more money."

."

"Furthermore, my parents often teach me that I love what I do and can't do it half-heartedly. The money is a bit low now, so I want to be safe, but I didn't expect that the shopkeeper would fire me and give me my last month's salary.
