Chapter 32: Sign Zhu Cheng

"Oh, Sister Zhou, why are you so feudal? You just want to have a meal."

Gu Xiaoyou thought it was a big deal.

"That won't work, you are a girl who has not yet left the court..." Ms. Zhou acted like an old lady again.

Gu Xiaoyou apologized and said, "I understand, my dear Sister Zhou, if you go to eat with us, you won't be alone."

Just as Sister Zhou was about to speak, Zhu Cheng came back, scratched his head and said, "Boss Gu, I've parked the car."

"Okay, let's go, Sister Zhou is with us."

Zhou's expression paused: "But in the store..."

"As for the boss, you should also relax occasionally."

Gu Xiaoyou simply took Zhou's arm and walked forward without any explanation.

The group of three people quickly arrived at the restaurant. Gu Xiaoyou opened a private room and distributed the menus to Zhou and Zhu Cheng.

"Come on, order whatever you want, I'll treat you." Gu Xiaoyou said generously.

"This..." Both Zhou and Zhu Cheng couldn't let it go, so Gu Xiaoyou simply asked the waiter to report the special dish of the day.

She waved her hand: "I want them all."

The waiter said happily: "Okay, just wait a moment, the food will be delivered soon."

Just as the waiter said, he quickly served all the dishes ordered by Gu Xiaoyou. The table was full of sumptuous dishes, exuding bursts of aroma.

"Eat!" Gu Xiaoyou picked up the chopsticks, picked up the nearest dish, and put it into his mouth.

She ate several mouthfuls with relish. Zhou and Zhu Cheng made no move, and asked in confusion: "Why don't you eat it? Is it not to your liking? If you don't like it, let's order it again."

"No, no, I like them all." Mrs. Zhou quickly picked up the chopsticks and put vegetables into the bowl.

Zhu Cheng also started to move, shyly only picking up the dishes in front of him.

"Why are you guys like Yang He? You eat coquettishly and generously. It's a waste if you don't eat what you ordered."

Gu Xiaoyou used serving chopsticks to pick up several dishes for them. Under her guidance, Zhou and Zhu Cheng slowly let go of their reserve and started eating naturally.

When Gu Xiaoyou saw that the food was almost finished, he said, "Zhu Cheng, do you have a regular employer now?"

Zhu Cheng swallowed the food in his mouth and shook his head: "No, just pick up the work here and there."

"Then what do you do with me? I'll give you three taels of silver a month."

"Three, three taels?"

The chopsticks in Zhu Cheng's hand suddenly fell down. He had to do thirty or forty jobs to earn three taels of silver. He didn't expect that Gu Xiaoyou would give him such a high salary.

"Yes, this is the salary during the probation period. After two months, if you do well, I will increase it to four taels for you."

Gu Xiaoyou said boldly that four taels of silver was equivalent to eight hundred yuan in modern times, which was much less than her salary as a nurse.

I really don't know why these ancient people made such a fuss.

Mrs. Zhou was used to Gu Xiaoyou's generosity. When she first started making masks, she paid one person two hundred cash a day.

Five taels a month, even she thought it was nothing.

Zhu Cheng was very excited. He shook his hands, opened his mouth, and said sillyly: "I, I am willing."

"Okay, from now on, you will deliver our toilet paper to the surrounding towns. Sister Zhou, tell him about our daily quantity and tell him which towns there are."

Mrs. Zhou opened her mouth and said, "Well, the paper shop has daily reservations..."

Zhu Cheng listened carefully, was silent for a moment, and frowned: "Boss, I may not be able to travel to multiple places a day by myself. Look, this is the distribution map of the surrounding towns..."

Zhu Cheng drank some tea, drew a simple map on the table, and pointed out the paper transportation routes one by one.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at it seriously: "What do you mean?"

"If you want to send to multiple places in one day, you have to hire one or two more grooms and prepare more horses and trucks. If you are not in a hurry, I can make more trips by myself."

Gu Xiaoyou thought for a moment, considered Zhu Cheng's words, and said in a deep voice: "Then please help me find two more grooms, and you will be the leader of our delivery team. I will give you an increase of

Four taels, but you need money and a contract from me..."

Gu Xiaoyou told Zhu Cheng the contents of the contract in detail. When Zhu Cheng heard it, it was a contract, which was much better than a contract to sell oneself.

Zhu Cheng slapped his thigh and said happily: "Okay, I will bring you the person tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll pay you the money for this trip to the capital first."

Gu Xiaoyou gave Zhu Cheng his salary and paid for the meal.

Zhu Cheng took the money and left happily, while Zhou and Gu Xiaoyou walked back together.

"Sister Zhou, Zhu Cheng will be under your control from now on, and I will take care of the wages..."

"I'll come out." Sister Zhou hurriedly said: "The business of the paper shop is very good. Their wages come from the shop, and I will remember the accounts clearly."

"Okay, if it's not enough, just talk to me." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile. Unexpectedly, Sister Zhou could now take charge of her own business.

The two of them chatted and laughed and returned to the paper shop. Gu Xiaoyou prepared the contract and explained all the terms to Zhou, who wrote them down one by one.

Early the next morning, Zhu Chengcheng brought two people over, and Zhou took out the prepared contract.

"This is the contract. Take a look at it and ask if you don't understand anything." Zhou said in a dignified manner.

"I told them yesterday and we are all fine."

Zhu Cheng and the people he brought happily signed the contract and went to the market to pick out carriages and horses.

They took the delivery address given by Zhou, packed the toilet paper, and drove a carriage to deliver the goods to surrounding towns.

In the evening, Gu Xiaoyou came to the paper shop and asked with concern: "Sister Zhou, how is the paper delivery going today?"

"They just came back and are parking the car in the backyard."

"I'll go take a look." Gu Xiaoyou walked directly to the backyard. He didn't know how Zhu Cheng and the others would fare on the first day of work.

As soon as Zhu Cheng tied the horse, he saw Gu Xiaoyou.

He immediately raised his smile and said, "Boss Gu, you are here."

"Well, how do you perform delivery on the first day?"

"It's pretty good. This is the final payment I received today."

Zhu Cheng took out the money bag from his arms and showed all the bills to Gu Xiaoyou.

Seeing this, the other two grooms also handed the money and bills they received to Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou checked the amount and documents and nodded with satisfaction.

There is no doubt about Zhu Cheng's efficiency. Gu Xiaoyou did not expect that the other two grooms could also complete the work so well.

"Very good, just follow today's standards. If you work hard, I will never treat you badly."

Zhu Cheng and the two grooms said enthusiastically: "Yes, boss!"

Three horsemen deliver goods diligently every day, which greatly improves the supply effect of the paper shop.

In this way, Youlian Paper Shop had its own delivery team, and business became smoother.

Life was going on in an orderly manner. Gu Xiaoyou didn't need to worry about the business of the paper shop for the time being, and there weren't many patients in the medical clinic, so she began to care about Liang'er's studies.

In the evening, Gu Xiaoyou went to the school to pick up Liang'er and saw him walking out of the school door carrying a bamboo basket.

"Liang'er, why are you carrying a bamboo basket to school?"

Gu Xiaoyou lifted the bamboo basket on Liang'er's shoulder, but it still had some weight.

"Aunt Gu, this is not called a bamboo basket, it is a book basket, and all my books are in it."

Liang'er reached out and lifted the book basket under the basket, then put the book basket back on her back.

"Is this comfortable? Does it hurt your shoulders?"

Gu Xiaoyou suddenly felt distressed, took down Liang'er's book basket and held it in his hand.

Liang'er has delicate skin and tender flesh. Can Liang'er bear the roughness of this book basket? Can Liang'er grow taller after being pressed for a long time?

Going to school in ancient times was too inconvenient.

"Aunt Gu, give it to me, I'm used to memorizing it."

Liang'er wanted to take back the book basket from Gu Xiaoyou's hand, but Gu Xiaoyou flashed: "I'll do it. Looking at your back, I feel like you are abusing children."

Liang'er was no match for her, so she could only hold the book basket and follow Gu Xiaoyou home.
