Second update, please pink.

"Five cents?" Zhou snorted disdainfully, as if he thought the money was too little, but in the end he curled his lips and said nothing. Even she knew very well that five cents were not enough. Moreover, Zhao didn't have to work in the shop all day, and the shop also provided her with food.

Mr. Lian glared at Zhou with some reproach. He knew the personalities of Lian Shouxin and Zhang. Since he did this, he would never treat Zhao badly. At that time, the monthly money would be given. Zhou was not open to his eyes and would raise money as soon as he opened his mouth, for fear that Lian Shouxin would not give it, which would destroy the good and beautiful atmosphere.

Now that things have come to this point, even the old man can only sigh secretly. If he scolds Zhou again, it will seem a bit fake.

"It's okay for his third uncle to go. There's a lot of work in the shop, but I'm counting on his third uncle." Zhang said the time to go to work, "... After dinner in the evening, you have to go to work, when will you finish your work, and when will you come back? The next morning, Yin Zheng started working until noon. We offer two meals, one in the morning and one in the afternoon."

These things could have been told to Zhao in private. Zhang now said them clearly in front of everyone, and it was a little exaggerated, so that Zhou would not make excuses to obstruct Zhao from working in the future.

"That's it. Everyone is idle in winter. The work at home is your mother, Xiu'er, and the second wife, so let the third wife help you." Old Master Lian waved his hand and said happily.

Zhou originally wanted to say that Zhao could work in the shop, but she could not delay the work at home. As a result, after the old man Lian said this, she couldn't say anything else. Therefore, her face looked a little bad.

If I didn't twist my strength with Zhang just now, I would agree to let the third brother go there.

Zhou regretted it, but she agreed to let Zhao go in person, and she couldn't help but regret it for the moment.

"Dad, then let's go back first. I have to talk to my third sister-in-law about the work in the shop." Zhang said.

"Okay, you guys go and go there." Old Master Lian nodded.

Lian Shouyi and He also followed him out, but were stopped by Mr. Lian.

"Second, you guys stay." Old Master Lian said with a calm face.

Lian Man'er came out of the upper room and was a few steps behind. While no one was paying attention, she slipped to the window and heard the old man Lian whispering Lian Shouyi in the room.

"...Is there any identity? I have lost all the face of the Lian family. Listen to me. If anyone sticks to the fourth brother's shop, don't go into the Lian family's door again. I don't have such shameless people in the Lian family..."

After hearing a few words, Lian Man'er left. Mr. Lian was definitely not a perfect person, but basically, he was still an upright person.

…………

In the west wing, Lian Shuxin and Lian Shuli's families were very happy.

Zhao was overjoyed to go to the breakfast shop to help, and could hardly believe that this was true.

"I was sweating too, afraid that his breasts would not agree." Zhang smiled, "It's better to teach us the method."

"Man'er is clever. We Ye'er always talks about it and want to learn from her, Sister Man'er." Zhao started to talk too much because he was happy.

"What's this? No one knows my tantrum. If you want to go west, she will definitely let you go east. If you want to get things done, we have to do the opposite. It's quite a simple thing." Lian Man'er said.

"It's not simple, we can't think of it." Lian Shouli said.

Lian Man'er smiled and thought to herself, that's because you are too honest and unwilling to be scheming.

...

Why was the sky so cold? Lian Man'er complained in her heart, rubbed her hands in the thick sleeves, exhaled, and watched a small piece of white mist floating around her mouth. After careful look, she could still see the tiny ice beads.

This is just a sip of air into ice, Lian Man'er thought.

Lian Man'er was walking on the road from the old house to the breakfast shop. She walked very slowly. There was no way, there was thick snow on the road. When she stepped on it, she could hear the creaking sound. Her entire calf almost disappeared into the snow. The sun was hanging in the air, emitting dim light, and she could hardly feel its heat.

It started to snow at noon yesterday, with heavy snow. It took a day and a night to clear up. There were only a few footprints on the snow-covered road. Lian Man'er walked carefully on those footprints, but sometimes he had to step into the deep snow.

Lian Man'er was wearing a thick cotton coat and cotton pants, and her calves sank into the snow again, looking a little shorter. From a distance, it was almost a cotton ball slowly squirming on the snow.

Of course, Lian Man'er never admits that she is a cotton ball. She just wears a lot and has a good figure. Although it is hard to say whether a ten-year-old girl has a figure.

Because it was snowing, she didn't follow her to the shop this morning. Now she came out after the snow stopped.

After a long journey, leaving a bunch of fat and short snow nests on the snow. Lian Man'er finally arrived at the Lianji breakfast shop. The official road is different from the village, where ruts, horse hoof prints and human footprints are mixed, and they step out a way in the snow.

If there are pedestrians, there will be business. Lian Man'er feels relieved.

It was getting late, and there were only a few customers sitting in the shop. Lian Shouxin and Goro had already started to clean up the shop.

After saying hello to them, Lian Man'er went straight into the kitchen.

A hot steam came to her face, Lian Man'er blinked her eyes and felt water dripping from her eyelashes. This was the hot air exhaled from her mouth, which condensed into ice residue on her eyelashes, and now it melted when it was heated.

"Man'er is here!" Zhao, who was sitting under the stove, saw Lian Man'er and greeted him with a smile. Zhao had been working in the shop for some time, and she didn't feel that the work was hard at all. These days, Lian Man'er saw that Zhao's face was flushed, and she smiled more often, and she was cheerful than before.

"Three uncle." Lian Man'er screamed with a smile.

"Oh, Man'er, why are you here? The snow has stopped outside? Look, I've stepped on the snow." Zhang was packing the steamer. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and immediately gave a lot of instructions. "Go and sit on the kang in the inner room, take off your shoes, and send them to the outside to bake."

Lian Man'er smiled and walked towards the inner room, and Xiaoqi ran out of the inner room.

"Let your second sister go to the kang, and you can help your second sister take out the shoes." Zhang said.

Lian Man'er entered the inner room and sat on the kang, and Xiaoqi took off her shoes. Lian Man'er, like an ordinary farmer's child, wore cotton shoes made at home. Handmade thousand-layer soles and purple-red velvet cloth surface. Zhang also embroidered a fat cat rolling ball on it with yellow silk thread.

If such shoes are made to fit, they are very warm. But they also have their disadvantages. They are not allowed to put water. Now the shoes are covered with snow. If they are not dried in time, the snow water will soak the soles and uppers, so the shoes will not be warm. Wearing such shoes will easily cause frostbite.

Xiaoqi sent Lian Man'er's writing to Zhao and ran back.

"Xiao Qi, how is the business today?" Lian Man'er sat cross-legged at the kang table, opened the money box, counted the money inside, and asked Xiao Qi.

Lian Man'er's money, including the income from this shop, is controlled by Lian Man'er. To be honest, Lian Man'er is the financial manager of the family. She is very dedicated and does not come to the shop for a day. Even if the snow is still falling, she will come. No matter what, the money box must be kept close, and Lian Man'er clenched her fists secretly.

"There are many people buying soup and drinking it." Xiao Qi said, on snowy days, as long as the projects on the mountain are not closed, their business will not be bad, but will be better.

"How come there is a piece of silver?" Lian Man'er picked up a small piece of silver from the money box and asked.

"That was given by Lao Huang." Xiao Qi also climbed onto the kang, sat next to Lian Man'er, and stretched his feet outside the edge of the kang. "It was the money for ordering buns."

Some people are already willing to pay money in advance to eat buns, which is very good.

"Second sister, I want to ask you if you should steam more buns and sell them. Now the buns are not enough to sell them." Xiao Qi said.

"Yes, Man'er." Zhang heard the brother and brother talking in the kitchen, and leaned in. "I think it's time to prepare more. There are people from the town here to eat buns these two days, and they have to pack them and take them back to eat."

The number of buns they prepared has been increasing, from fifty to forty, and later it has been increased to fifty, sixty, and eighty. Not only do people who come to work in the mountains come to eat, but some people in the town like her buns.

"Then from now on, we will steam two cages of buns every day. How about it?" Lian Man'er said. Two cages of buns were just one hundred buns.

"Okay, let's start tomorrow." Zhang smiled and retracted.

Lian Shouxin and Lian Goro walked in from outside. Both of them were wearing homely clothes, chef's hats on their heads, and big aprons. After the two of them came in, they took out copper coins from the big pocket in front of the big apron and put them in the money box.

"Twenty-five bowls of bone soup, ten bowls of porridge, and twenty steamed buns."

"Thirty bowls of bone soup, ten bowls of porridge, and nineteen steamed buns."

Xiao Qi slid off the kang and came back from the stove. Then he held a charcoal strip in one hand and wrote and painted the boards, then handed the boards to Lian Man'er to see.

On the large wooden board, it is a simple table.

The table header of the table is divided into five columns. The first column is painted with a big sea bowl. The second column is still a big sea bowl, which means there is a bone on it. The third column is painted with steamed buns, the fourth column is painted with buns, and the fifth column is blank.

These five columns represent porridge, bone soup, steamed buns, buns and the total number.

There are three spaces below each column, and the spaces are full of regular characters. There are many regular characters in the first two spaces, and there are much fewer regular characters in the last space.

This represents the performance of Lian Shouxin, Goro and Xiaoqi respectively.

This is the counting method that Lian Man'er thought of. Each person takes out a bowl of soup or a steamed bun, and add a stroke under the corresponding sign in his table. Write a regular word, just Wubi.

This facilitates the final check of the general account and helps everyone remember how much money they should charge. Of course, it can also show how much work each person has done. With this wooden board, he only took three cents for him, and even Shouxin and Goro took five cents for him. Xiaoqi was not only convinced, but also felt a little ashamed and became even more diligent.

"Xiao Qi, calculate how much each one costs, and then how much is it in total." Lian Man'er said.

Xiaoqi agreed and took out an old red painted abacus from a bundle leaning against the kang with great care.
