During the meal, everyone did not speak tacitly, but kept putting Li Hui's favorite dishes on his plate.

It's a pity that I don't eat much, and I can obviously feel that my emotions are not right.

After the meal, sisters Li Yue left the main house immediately, and even Wen Tian left. Before going out, she said "go to see the old guy", implying that she will not come back at night.

The "old guy" in his mouth refers to Old Pang, Cheng Xue hurriedly brought him the recently made hawthorn pills.Elderly people are getting old and have poor digestion, so they cannot do without this thing.Moreover, the dose of medicine she puts is very low, so there will be no dependence.

After everyone left, Cheng Xue sat across from him to make tea and poured a cup for each other.

Seeing that he doesn't speak and she doesn't say anything, the main thing is to be a companion.

Finally, after drinking a cup of tea, Li Hui put down the cup, sighed, and said:
"You didn't intend to ask me how I did in the exam?"

"Ask what, don't ask." Cheng Xue said casually, "If you do not do well in the exam, then others will also do well in the exam, so there is no need to worry."

"Is that why you trust me?"

"Why don't you believe me? Besides, I looked really bright when I was waiting for you outside, and everyone was sullen and didn't smile. We have experienced big waves washing the sand, so this scientific research is no problem."

Li Hui couldn't help waving his hands when he heard the words, and said with a wry smile:

"You are really wrong. This is much more difficult than the one we experienced. We expanded our enrollment when we were admitted to college."

"That's okay. If you fail the exam and go back to your hometown, you're still a candidate." Cheng Xue disagrees, "Don't push yourself so hard. It's icing on the cake if you pass the exam. If you don't pass the exam, you will lose some travel expenses at most. Just treat us as a family." Traveling and relaxing. Anyway, we are not being bullied in the village now, and we are better than when we first came here, which is good. Ideals and ambitions are important, but what is more important is that the family is safe and not being bullied."

"Well, you're right, I'm the one who got into a dead end."

Li Hui adjusted his mentality and went to the desk to continue studying hard.Grinding the gun in front of the battle, feeling unhappy and light, I don't believe that I can't beat this level.Cheng Xue was at the side, pouring water and feeding fruit at the right time...

……

Soon it was time to enter the second round, and it was obvious that there was a part of the move missing.It should be because he couldn't bear the pressure of failing the first exam, coupled with the cost of food and accommodation in the capital, so he decided to stop the loss in time and go back to his hometown.

After seeing off the master and servant, Cheng Xue didn't leave in a hurry, but stayed to listen to the voice.

There are many discussions about the first round, and it is said that it is the most difficult one since the founding of the dynasty.

Some people suspected that the Imperial Academy deliberately made things difficult; others suspected that the Holy Majesty did not want to preside over the palace examination and was lazy on purpose; and even more outrageous, they directly suspected that it was Pang Lao who made the test.

Cheng Xue heard nothing for a long time, so she got in the car and went to the east of the city to check the progress.

The demolition of the hall of the shop has been completed, and the walls have been painted. Now the hall is being sanded and leveled in preparation for laying bricks.

"The second boss is here? Master Li has entered the venue, right? You have been busy these two days."

Compared with Zhang Guanshi, who was in a business-like manner before, this time he was obviously enthusiastic and flattering. He probably complained to Xiao Qinglin but failed, so he accepted the reality.

Cheng Xue didn't take Joe either, and replied normally:

"I'm used to being busy. It's nothing. How's it doing here recently? You've worked hard since you haven't been here for two days."

"It's not hard work, it should be done. The second housekeeper, the bricks can be laid in the hall tomorrow, and the window frames are going to be painted a second time in the afternoon. The tables and chairs are in the warehouse. They have been painted and dried, and we only need to wait for the hall to be paved." Just moved in. Would you like to go and have a look?"

"Don't look at it, I don't worry about your work. Tomorrow laying the floor, then choose people in this hall the day after tomorrow. You remember to find the tailor, the direct measuring scale for the selection."

"Okay, okay, Second Boss." Steward Zhang responded, "By the way, Second Boss, the back kitchen has been cleaned up according to your requirements. Would you like to go and have a look?"

"Let's go then."

The two left the front hall side by side, and the workers immediately speeded up, for fear of delaying their work.The lobby will be used the day after tomorrow, so they don't have much time left, don't wait for tomorrow to lay the floor, start in the afternoon.Tomorrow, if you are more greedy, you should be able to get out, and the extra one or two wages must not be affected.

When Cheng Xue came to the back kitchen, the walls had been painted clean, and the stoves had been set up. There were five stoves on the east and west sides, all of which were small stoves and no big pots.The ground is paved with red bricks, cabinets, shelves, tanks, etc. are all available.The two rows of long tables in the middle have been set up to serve as desks.It was painted with red paint and covered with kraft paper.

The windows are all open, and the breeze blows, which is very cool.

"Not bad, well cleaned up."

"Second owner, cook, I have ordered four from the main street. When the time comes, the novice we recruited here will send four over to make up. The cook is good at wontons and noodles. But it won't work if you put them on skewers. Now, I have to help take it with my hands."

"Okay, it's up to you. The successful cooks will be paid normally, and the wages of others will be halved for the first three months."

"……what?"

Seeing Guanshi Zhang's astonishment, Cheng Xue nodded with a smile, indicating that he heard correctly.

"Although the salary I set is high, it is not so easy to get it. The first three months are the trial period. During the trial period, only those who are diligent, down-to-earth, and have no temper will stay. During this period, you have to observe all the time, no Don’t use it, otherwise it will be difficult to drive people out after you have affection. You can be selected to be in charge, and you know these things better than me, so I just remind you.”

"Don't worry, Second Boss, I've written it all down." After Zhang Guanshi finished speaking, he cupped his hands again and let out a long sigh of relief.

I felt that the salary was set too high, and it turned out that it was not so easy to get it.

The tripod is good, the tripod is good, so you won't suffer from crossing houses.

In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of March. Cheng Xue was sitting in the lobby reading a book.

It is set at the right time, and there is still plenty of time.

At the end of the hour, people began to come in one after another. There was a row of stools at the door, some sat on it directly, and some just looked around.They are still quite well-behaved, they don't talk loudly, at most they whisper a few words.

Seeing that the time has come, Cheng Xue waved to Bai Shao, who went directly to close the shop door.

"My lady, my companion has not arrived yet."

Cheng Xue looked up at the woman who was speaking, her face expressionless.

"If you can't even do the most basic punctuality, such a person will not be able to use the shop. If you are loyal, go left now and don't send it off."

When the woman heard this, she immediately fell silent.

Although the capital has nothing to worry about, such high wages are hard to come by.

Manager Zhang came over and asked everyone to divide into men and women and stand on both sides.The ground of the house is flat, so the size is clear at a glance.Cheng Xue had given the staff the basic standards long ago. Guanshi Zhang took a look at his size, and brushed off those who were not tall enough, and those who were not clean and did not stand upright.

After two consecutive rounds of brushing people, the hall that was originally "overcrowded" suddenly went halfway...
