"Five taels of silver?"

Zhang Guoyi glared.

Not to mention five taels of silver, he didn't even have five cents on him.

Before, when I bought black paper paste in the clinic, it was the money I had to pay for Bai Ziyue.

"No, one or two silver coins can be made, but I can only work in the matchroom, kitchen, or even the clean room of the branch."

Qian Ming seemed a little embarrassed and said with a frown.

"No need, we don't have money, so we can arrange whatever Mr. Qian should do, so we don't have to make things difficult for us."

Bai Ziyue shook her head and said.

"That's a pity. If it's related, I still have to borrow it."

Qian Ming sighed regretfully. Seeing that they really didn't want to spend money on this, he had to say, "Since that's the case, I'll allocate it to you.

Zhang Guoyi, if you go to Cuiyue Flower Boat, this is a good job in the outside world.

As for Bai Ziyue, go to Mingzhu Restaurant.

You guys go back and clean up first, and I will send someone to send you there later.”

"Thank you Mr. Qian."

Bai Ziyue thanked her and walked out with Zhang Guoyi.

"Ziyue, we will be separated this time.

We had the opportunity to stay in the branch, but it was Wang Jian who made us become a foreigner."

Zhang Guoyi was still a little reluctant at first, and then he became gritted his teeth.

"Do you really think that someone deliberately greeted us to make things difficult for us?"

Bai Ziyue sneered.

Yesterday he knew from other chore apprentices that Qian Ming, though he was kind, was the most greedy person.

Almost every one of the chore apprentices who stayed in the branch spent money to stay.

Although he was not sure whether someone really said hello and asked them to leave... Maybe there were, maybe there weren't, they were just small people, and no one would care about their thoughts.

But Qian Ming made a profit with this, it was certain.

"You mean, Mr. Qian..."

Zhang Guoyi's face changed.

“I don’t know, these are not the issues we should consider now.

What’s next, we can only rely on ourselves.”

Bai Ziyue said, entering the small room they had lived in before.

He didn't have much to pack up, two pieces of clothes and the "Small Explanation of Pictures and Texts" he just bought in the morning, all of which were wrapped in a cloth bag.

Not long after he had packed up, a young man walked in and said, "You should be the apprentices assigned to this time, Zhang Guoyi and Bai Ziyue, come with me, I will take you there."

The two of them quickly got up, carried their clothes and luggage, and followed the young man out.

The first thing they went to was the Cuiyue Flower Boat along the bank of the Qing River.

It was not until this time that Bai Ziyue and the others realized that the so-called Cuiyue Flower Boat was actually the legendary place of romance. On a flower boat that was nearly twenty meters long, there were vaguely some beautiful women in the attic Xiaoxuan.

After the senior brother Liu, named Liu Huasheng, handed Zhang Guoyi to a crow in his thirties, he got off the flower boat with Bai Ziyue.

"Our Lieyang Gang is in Qinghe Town, with countless industries, Qinghe Wharf, Cuiyue Flower Boat, Mingzhu Restaurant, Qinghe Casino, Scorpio Medicine Hall, Wolf Gang Mine... After joining our Lieyang Gang, even if he is the lowest chore apprentice, he will not have to worry about food and drink.

Although you are not in the branch, it is not impossible to earn a share of your family business.

You should know that Hua Niang from Cuiyue Flower Boat and Mr. Hou from Mingzhu Restaurant also started as a miscellaneous apprentice in the early days.

Nowadays, in terms of status, it is no worse than some managers in the branch.”

Senior Brother Liu said with some emotion.

"Who is Mr. Hou?"

Bai Ziyue asked hurriedly.

"Mingzhu Restaurant was opened under his auspices, and it is also one of the best restaurants in our Qinghe Town."

As they were talking, a tall restaurant appeared in front of them.

Senior Brother Liu brought Bai Ziyue into it in a familiar way.

Bai Ziyue looked at the restaurant. The entire restaurant had two floors in total. The hall on the first floor was filled with tables and chairs, but the second floor was filled with elegant rooms.

It was at dinner time, no matter how far downstairs the restaurant was, there were guests full of guests. Three or four restaurant servants, carrying vegetables and rags on their backs and downs, walking up and down.

"Shopkeeper Li, this is the chore apprentice assigned by the gang. Please take a look at the arrangement."

Senior Brother Liu found the restaurant shopkeeper next to the counter and said with a smile.

"It just so happens that Ergou, please take him to get to know each other and start with serving the dishes."

Seeing this, Manager Li's eyes lit up and said hello, and then a boy who was a few years older than Bai Ziyue ran over.

"Hello, my name is Li Ergou, come with me first."

Ergou looked at Bai Ziyue and grinned and said.

"My name is Bai Ziyue." Bai Ziyue quickly introduced himself.

"I'll take you to put the things in place first, and you'll be in the same room as me from now on. Just then, I'm empty.

This is the kitchen, and most of us usually work here. The place we live in is in the backyard, right there, just put the things first and then you can.

Working here, we have to wear uniform clothes. You must not have one like me now. Wear mine first. Although it is a little bigger, it will be enough."

Li Ergou was very enthusiastic about Bai Ziyue and kept talking nonstop.

"You just came here and must be unfamiliar with this place. Next, just follow me. Manager Li is very good. As long as you don't be lazy, he usually won't care about us.

By the way, you must be curious about the wages we have here, one hundred and fifty cents a month, which is a lot. We have food and accommodation here, and we don’t buy anything we save, and you can send it home if you save it.”

Li Ergou looked excited and took Bai Ziyue back to the restaurant from the backyard.

So, Bai Ziyue spent the first day at Mingzhu Restaurant serving dishes and scrubbing the table.

Early the next morning, the tired Bai Ziyue was barked by Li Ergou again and started her busy work.

Cleaning the table, washing vegetables and chopping firewood, and doing all kinds of trivial things.

It took him three days to get used to it.

For Bai Ziyue, the environment in Mingzhu Restaurant is still good. Neither Shopkeeper Li or the kitchen chef Master Zhang, they are not too harsh people.

There are some good dishes left, so I don’t stingy to give them some fresh food to them.

As for Mr. Hou whom Brother Liu mentioned before... Bai Ziyue also stayed here and learned that Mr. Hou rarely came to the restaurants normally. He would only come to pay for the bills at the end of the month or at the beginning of each month and take away the monthly income.

Bai Ziyue actually doesn't care about doing things. He is not a spoiled person. He has also worked in random jobs in his previous life and was ordered by a mean boss.

But there are so many errands in the restaurant, so he doesn't have much time to practice martial arts, which makes him feel helpless.

As a last resort, he had to take some time every day to practice.

Occasionally, he took the book "A Brief Explanation of Pictures and Texts" and learned characters based on pictures. In just a short time, he had known more than a hundred characters.
