Chapter 75
As the old saying goes, “keep your mouth shut and you’ll get rich”
Lin Minjun itself is not a very publicized personality, for her may be on the newspaper this matter, she did not say in the compound, no one said, even the closest brother Erwa did not mention a word
Not want to hide, but afraid to say after everyone will inevitably have to expect, then in case it does not, everyone will have to be disappointed again
So until now, no one in the compound knew that someone in the yard was about to become famous
This matter was brought out by Auntie Cao
Saturday morning
Now there is no biweekly, Saturday still have to work, early in the morning the hutong is half empty, everyone went to work
The people who went to work had just left, and not long after that, Auntie Cao wobbled out of the three courtyards with this basket, greeting people as she saw them along the way
“Wu Xiu Hua, selling breakfast again?” Auntie Xu was rinsing her mouth outside and said hello when she saw her
In the past, when the three major scourges in the courtyard had not yet been arrested and sentenced, Auntie Xu and Auntie Cao did not have a good relationship, and often quarreled
Now that the three evils are gone, their relationship has miraculously eased a lot, and they are willing to greet each other when they see each other Auntie Xu is a widow, Auntie Cao is a widow, and they sometimes help each other, and once Lin Minjun came back from the store, she saw them drying radishes together, talking and laughing, and she was shocked
Auntie Cao was carrying the basket with great effort and a smile on her face: “Yes, are you going to eat it?”
“I got up late today, give me a bun with shredded radish, come back and pay you” Auntie Xu spat out the toothpaste foam in her mouth and said cheerfully
Cao Auntie ouch, picked the biggest and most boisterous bun with shredded radish from the basket and went to Auntie Xu’s kitchen, and when she came out, she said hello, which was about to go
“I’m grabbing the park, or else everyone will be gone” Big Mother Cao said
Auntie Xu: “You’re doing a good business selling breakfast”
Auntie Cao led her basket out the door, and was happy in her heart
She now has no source of income, since moncler outlet online Cao was arrested, the power supply bureau certainly can no longer pay the retirement salary, her life will be difficult
The two sons know that the things that moncler outlet online Cao did are ashamed and refused to go back to the compound, but mentioned to take Cao Da Ma, but Cao Da Ma is not willing to go over to look at her daughter-in-law’s face, so she refused to go over to the compound, and she is living on her own
She saw Lin Minjun business is doing hot, also began to learn their own business, big business can not do, just pack some buns early in the morning to sell, business is actually also very good it, not earn big money, but at least can put their own living expenses to deal with the past
Auntie Cao wandered to the park, in the end, today is late, usually not a moment to come over to sell out, today she screamed two voices, almost two hours to sell out
After the sale, Auntie Cao walked back slowly with her basket, taking a few steps and resting, exhausting the old lady
Rest for a while, in Cao Auntie ready to depart for home, suddenly turned his head and saw the next newsstand gathered a group of people, that is a group of young people, listen to their discussion of wah-wah-la, the accent is like outsiders it
This group of people discussing the impassioned, Cao Auntie thought there is something lively to see, froze with tired legs leaped over
“Young man, what are you talking about?” Auntie Cao asked excitedly
When she shouted out, a young man in the lead immediately grabbed Auntie Cao’s arm, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, “Auntie, can you show us the way?”
Auntie Cao was also enthusiastic: “Yes, why not, where do you want to go?”
Boy: “I don’t know”
Auntie Cao: “If you don’t know, why are you asking me for directions?”
The young man quickly explained: “No, I really don’t know where the address is, we saw a rice noodle store in the newspaper, saying that the hygiene is very good, and that you won’t get diarrhea after eating it, so we all want to go and have a look and taste”
When she said this, Auntie Cao’s face looked better and she was also a bit interested, “What kind of rice noodle store, why haven’t I heard of it, tell me where the address on the newspaper is again?”
The young man handed over the newspaper, Auntie Cao justified a beat: “I do not recognize the words”
When the young man said it, she gave a cry and pointed to the road with her finger, “First go straight across this street and then turn right, then turn right again to find an intersection and you’ll see it”
Aunt Cao was still thinking as she pointed out the way, why does this place sound a bit familiar?
She asked curiously, “Young man, is this rice noodle store really that good?”
“We haven’t eaten it either, but the newspaper said that it tastes great, and most importantly, the stuff is clean and won’t hurt our stomachs after eating it, and the owner’s wife is a Yunnan girl who makes a mouthful of authentic Yunnan flavors, so we thought we’d go and try it” The young man hurriedly explained
Auntie Cao had a wink after hearing this
A Yunnan girl opening a rice noodle store? Why did she think it sounded so much like Lin Minjun?
Auntie Cao clenched her fists, “Is the owner of this rice noodle store you mentioned surnamed Lin?”
The boy took a look at the newspaper and said in surprise, “Yes, how do you know?”
“Ow! This man is from our yard! Come, Auntie will take you there” When Auntie Cao heard that it was indeed Lin Minjun, she was shocked and delighted, and she jumped three feet high with a wail, almost howling out in public
Auntie Cao felt especially honored at the moment, her face was more dignified, as if she was the one who was in the newspaper, and she walked with her head held high
She gushed, “You don’t know, this girl can be good, she is usually in our yard as long as a cooking, the children of the family have to die of gluttony, crying for three days and three nights”
Big Aunt Cao waved her hand, “Go, follow me, I’ll take you there”
Said Big Aunt Cao also grabbed the newspaper in the young man’s hand, this time, not only to lead the way, but also to report the good news, Xiao Lin went out early this morning to work on the store, I guess he hadn’t bothered to read the newspaper yet
Lin Minjun really does not know that the Valley reporter has already put himself on the newspaper, she has recently been busy with the small store to recruit staff
The store business is getting better and better, more and more customers, this time the workload of washing vegetables and dishes and cooking are increasing
It was a bit difficult for Lin Minjun to work alone, but now she’s even more tired Recruiting a worker, no matter which job she has to share, will give her a bit of a break
But when she really put the advertisement out, Lin Minjun realized that it was difficult to recruit a suitable worker
She was already interviewing her fifth aunt
Early this morning there have been four or five aunts who applied for the job, but none of them can do it Some of them do not work well, there is no work in their eyes, and they need to be reminded of what they are doing, and if Lin Minjun doesn’t remind them, the aunts will just sit next to them and look at them with cold eyes as she is busy
There is also an aunt who does not work cleanly, she washed the bowl by hand greasy, did not dare to give the guests to use
The rest, either the time is not suitable, or halfway home to pick up the children
The fifth aunt who came to apply for the job said with difficulty, “I’m sorry, comrade, my family lives far away, it’s not safe for me to leave work at night, and my old companion doesn’t feel at ease”
“It’s okay” Lin Minjun politely sent this aunt away
When she returned to the store, she had a bit of a headache Her business was getting better and better, and she was too busy to work alone in the store, and she couldn’t find anyone, so what could she do?
While she was fretting, she saw Auntie Cao rushing over aggressively, with a large group of people behind her
Lin Minjun was startled
What does she want? Robbing in broad daylight?
As soon as she entered, Auntie Cao said, “Xiao Lin, big news! You’re in the newspaper, take a look!”
It’s not a robbery
Lin Minjun breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly reacted, “Newspaper?”
“Yes, take a look!” Auntie Cao said excitedly
Lin Minjun took it and looked at it for a while, and managed to find a not so small section in the newspaper, and saw that it had a report about herself written on it, she held back her excitement and started from the beginning, stumbling down the page, reporter Gu simply praised her little store out of the flowers in the newspaper, and also extracted a few paragraphs of the customers’ comments, especially real and vivid
At the end of the newspaper, reporter Gu also mentioned a little, saying that there can be competition in the market, but vicious competition is not desirable, he put Lu Xueping intentionally use himself as a gun, want to deal with Lin Minjun’s things
Reporter Gu of course didn’t name Lu Xueping on the spot, and used an alias instead the whole time, but people familiar with her could tell at a glance
It could be imagined that Lu Xue Ping was absolutely furious when she saw this report
Lin Minjun was shocked and delighted, and read it several times in earnest She couldn’t recognize some of the words, but she could roughly guess the meaning
She felt so unreal ah, from following the youth object into the city, to decisively break up their own stalls, and then open a small store, no one knows how much pain she has suffered, and these bitter watered the fruit ripe
This can be too significant for her, on behalf of her is no longer that vague rich wife, but her own, Lin Minjun
Lin Minjun treasured the newspaper and put it away
At this time, Auntie Cao yelled, “Xiao Lin, don’t just stand there, these people are here to eat the rice noodles”
Lin Minjun instantly came back to her senses and said with a smile, “What kind of rice noodles do you want to eat? I’ll do it now, the menu is printed on the wall, you can choose for yourself whether it’s spicy or not, you can add cilantro inside the rice noodles, and you can tell me if you want to eat it or not”
She pulled Auntie Cao, “Don’t go too, Auntie Cao, thank you for telling me this news, stay and eat a bowl before you go, my treat”
“How can this be a pleasure, it’s not easy for you to do business on your own, business, bitter” Auntie Cao said she was embarrassed, but was honest enough to put her butt on the stool, her eyes staring at Lin Minjun
Lin Minjun smiled and greeted, waiting for all the people to finish ordering food, move quickly into the kitchen to cook the rice noodles, things are prepared in advance, put the minced pork in a pot of fried and then put the sour pickles, then put the soup, grab a handful of leeks
This is not difficult to do, but the weather is getting hot, we eat rice noodles enthusiasm does not diminish, Lin Minjun will be a bit of a crime, the stove is too hot, but she is very afraid of the heat, this a moment of effort on the body on the sweaty wet
Good in this wave of guests came in a hurry, but also happy to go, before leaving, there is someone gave a thumbs up: “This store flavor is really good, the process of cooking can be seen, in the future we have to come to the capital often eat”
Lin Minjun sent off this wave of guests before she had time to take a break, and it was only then that she realized a problem, the guests had all left, how come Auntie Cao hadn’t left yet
She had finished eating a long time ago, but didn’t leave, and from time to time she helped bring a casserole up to act as a waitress, with a look of having something to say
