Li Yu's face became obviously gloomy. Shopkeeper Huang saw this and took over the conversation.
"Shop Manager Rong, Li Yu has participated in the entire calculation process of [Menglan]. His experience is unique in Cangcheng! After all, he is from Shunxiangfang. As long as you hire him here, When worshiping, can’t the working process of Shunxiangfang be copied to your Shandefang?”
"His vision in this area is unparalleled in Cangcheng."
Shopkeeper Rong still didn't agree.
"Shopkeeper Huang, it's not that I don't want to give you face. The rules passed down by my ancestors of Shandefang are that if you want to be worshiped, you must first work in the workshop for two years. It has never changed in the past hundreds of years."
"Oh, why are you so ignorant of flexibility? The rules passed down from our ancestors must be right. It's okay to make exceptions occasionally for the sake of the development of Shandefang."
"Maybe we can make an exception, but I don't have this right. If Li Yu comes here just for the position of worship, then he can only work with me for two years."
Li Yu stood up with an ugly expression.
"It seems that Shandefang is not suitable for me, Shopkeeper Huang. Thank you very much for your kindness. I'll take my leave." After saying that, he gave a bow and turned around to leave.
"Oh, Shopkeeper Rong, what a great talent he is. If you don't try to rob someone else, you'll rob him." Shopkeeper Huang said goodbye and left.
Shopkeeper Liu laughed when he saw this and stood up to say goodbye.
"I've sent this person to you. She doesn't have much wealth. She carries all the money on her own. You can just arrange a place for her to live in later."
Then he turned to Yang Zhao and said, "Yang Zhao, follow Shopkeeper Rong and work hard. She is generous and kind, and you will benefit from her in the future."
"Then I won't disturb you, Shopkeeper Rong. I'll take my leave." After saying that, he went to chase Shopkeeper Huang and the others.
Unexpectedly, those two people walked very fast. Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly hurried and caught up with them when they reached the entrance of the workshop.
"Shopkeeper Huang, let's go together!"
Shopkeeper Huang couldn't help but frown. They had two restaurants, one in Dongcheng and one in Nancheng. Where should we go together?
"I said, Shopkeeper Liu, you don't have to chase after the joke to see it! And Rong Rong, after all, she is a woman and has no courage. A talent as good as Li Yu would not dare to ask for it. What are the ancestral rules? No wonder the big worshipers in front are all It’s been poached!”
"Hahahaha, Shopkeeper Huang, you have misunderstood Shopkeeper Rong. The rules of the ancestors of Shandefang are indeed not something she can break. Her ancestors are stronger than us. Which prince have you ever seen who dared to break the emperor's rules? "
After saying that, he laughed loudly and got on the beast cart and drove away.
After listening to this, shopkeeper Huang couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"Her ancestor is still alive? Then she must be over 400 years old, right? Ouch! Don't blame the seniors. Don't blame the seniors. The juniors are speaking freely. It is really an unintentional act. I hope you can tolerate it."
With that said, he bowed twice at the gate of Shandefang, and then he and Li Yu boarded the beast cart and left.
On the other side, shopkeeper Rong gave Yang Zhao a wooden waistband, sent her to the dormitory and turned around to leave.
Looking at the empty house, Yang Zhao couldn't help but ask shopkeeper Rong to advance his wages.
It is said that a broken home is worth tens of thousands of dollars. If she wants to buy enough necessities for her own residence, it is a bit difficult for her to rely on less than two taels of silver in her hand.
However, as young people in this generation, Yang Zhao and her parents had not asked for money for several years, let alone the boss whom they had just met on the first day.
She was standing in the house worrying when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. When she opened the door, she saw two teenage girls, dressed in coarse linen clothes. One was holding water and a rag in his hand, and the other was holding a broom and dustpan. .
"Sister, are you Yang Zhao? Shopkeeper Rong knew that you had just arrived and didn't clean up the house. He asked us sisters to come over and clean up for you."
The one holding the water was obviously more cheerful and opened his mouth to call her sister.
Yang Zhao quickly stepped aside to let the two of them in.
"My name is Yang Mai and her name is Yang Lu." The little girl carrying the water pointed at the little girl holding the broom.
"The two of us do some odd jobs in Shandefang. From now on, just leave the garbage at the door and we will clean it up."
Yang Mai kept talking, and his men didn't stop either. The two of them took tools and started cleaning the room.
Yang Zhao was too embarrassed to just watch them working, so he rolled up his sleeves and started working too.
The room was small and dusty, and by the time the three of them finished, they were all covered in sweat.
Yang and Mai threw the dirty water and garbage out and left all the cleaning tools in their hands to Yang Zhao.
"Sister Yang Zhao, please have a rest first, and we will get you a blanket."
Yang Zhao was very happy as he watched the two people leave. Shopkeeper Rong was so generous!
Now there is no need to ask for an advance payment. Yang Zhao sat on the bed frame and rested for a while in a comfortable mood.
Before twenty minutes were up, two little girls and three teenage boys came in carrying things.
I took a bedding, a washing stand with a copper basin on it. A small cabinet and a stool, and even a large copper kettle.
Seeing her staring at the quilt in his hand, Yang Mai chuckled: "Sister Yang Zhao, don't worry, these quilts are all newly made. They are just a little damp in the warehouse. Just let them dry. If you don't want to use them in the future, Once this is done, you can take this quilt away."
The two people took out the clothes drying rod from the corner and helped her hang the quilt. Seeing that the two were about to leave, Yang Zhao stopped the two little girls.
She grabbed a few copper coins from her arms and stuffed them into both of their hands. She was gesturing that they would take her to buy some bedding.
The two sisters did not shirk, they accepted the money generously, led Yang Zhao out of the workshop and went to a grocery store.
The shop is not small, but there are no valuable items sold in it. It is probably specially designed to supply the workers in the surrounding workshops.
Yang Tao bought three sets of sheets and quilts, a pillow, two pillow covers, three hand towels, and a set of toiletries. I picked a metal lunch box, a spoon, a pair of scissors, a set of copper locks and needlework.
In the end, I bought a chamber pot on Yang Mai's recommendation to keep for night use, and also bought a lot of toilet paper.
She bought a lot, and the two sisters helped her get half of the sky-high price. In the end, she only spent one tael of silver, and the boss even gave her two pairs of socks.
On the way back, Yang Zhao looked at the two little girls with admiration. Although she grew up in a rural area, she really didn't know how to bargain.
After seeing off the two little sisters after coming back, Yang Zhao took apart a quilt cover and hung it on the window to use as a curtain. The curtains in the grocery store are so expensive, it’s better to buy a quilt cover.
Although the window was made of paper, she felt unsafe.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Yang Zhao calmed down. Living here is much better than living in Qian's old store. At least you don't have to pay for the room.
Thinking of Qian's old store, she remembered that she had to pay an extra day's rent. It was so far away that she didn't dare to pick it up herself, so the 35 copper coins could only be wasted.
