Chapter 413 Popularity

This time, there was another small commotion in Yuan City. It spread even more than the reputation of Linhe Zhai Xing Lou previously. This was because money was always the most tempting. This time, many people were tempted.

Ye Lulu pasted the notice and was satisfied when she saw the effect. She returned to the mountain very relaxed. She had been too tired lately and was preparing to recruit new people. Therefore, Ye Lulu did not work at the night market. She went up the mountain much earlier than before and treated it as a vacation.

This was how she did business. One could not stop earning enough money. Overall, she was a little willful.

As soon as they returned to the mountain, Ye Lulu and Guan Chibei, who were carrying the babies, were surrounded by a group of people.

“Ye Lulu! Is your restaurant hiring chefs? Twenty taels a month, right?! Just hire me. I’ve been cooking for twenty to thirty years, ever since I got married. Who else can you hire if not me?!”

“You’re hiring a chef? Why don’t you hire me? We’re all from Yunwu Village. Wouldn’t that be more trustworthy? Twenty taels of silver! If I earn this money, I’ll build a few new brick houses for my family!” “Ye Lulu, you should be hiring me. Don’t forget that when you first came to the village and asked for food, I gave you sweet potatoes. If you want to hire a chef in your shop, you naturally have to hire me.”

“If you recruit me, I can start work immediately!”

The eyes of the women in the village were bright and their faces were filled with fanaticism. They surrounded Ye Lulu and started talking

The woman who spoke first had a confident expression on her face. She was quite fair and chubby. She stood in front of Ye Lulu with a matter-of-fact expression.

There was also a smiling auntie and an extremely excited young wife. There were about twenty other villagers who were watching the commotion.

Ye Lulu looked at the auntie who was trying to get close to her with a ‘friendship’ and said with a faint smile, “You’re Mother Chen, right? You did give me sweet potatoes before, but why do I remember that you asked me to help you plow the land for a day and turn over all the vegetable fields in your house? The sweet potatoes were said to be my salary, so why are you using it as a favor now?”

There was an unnatural expression on Mother Chen’s face when she replied so bluntly, but she still felt that Ye Lulu was indebted to her.

Then, she said boldly, “Yes, you did work, but you were just a beggar back then. If I wasn’t willing to let you work for me, you would have starved to death.”

How shameless.

As long as the villagers wanted to, they could always talk about the origins of Ye Lulu being a beggar. The smile on Ye Lulu’s lips turned cold as she said, “That’s right. If I didn’t beg all the way here, where would Mother Chen find someone to plow the land for a day just for two sweet potatoes?”

Mother Chen was speechless from these mocking words. She did not expect Ye Lulu to be so eloquent and say these words to her!

If Mother Chen took out the two sweet potatoes normally, she could earn back the cost from two hours of work, let alone a day of farming.

“Then hire me, Ye Lulu.”

“You’re amazing. You can afford to hire a worker for twenty taels a month!”

“You’re rich. Your Guan family is really rich.”

“You can’t ignore us villagers. Such a good thing should be left to the villagers. I’ve been cooking at home for twenty to thirty years, from when I was still a daughter to now that I’m a wife. I’m definitely qualified to be a chef in your restaurant. Hire me and give me the twenty taels of monthly salary.”

The auntie said to Ye Lulu as a matter-of-fact again.
