Chapter 8 The Village Girl 3

It wasn't even four o'clock in the morning, and Jiang Chan sat up when the sky was bright. She didn't fall asleep all night, just thinking about getting up early and going to the town to see if she could try her luck.

If she got up late, Mrs. Wang would definitely stop her from going. Mrs. Wang looked at her very closely, so if Jiang Chan wanted to go out, she could only run out quietly before Mrs. Wang got up.

After washing her face with water from the well in the courtyard, Jiang Chan opened the courtyard door and went to the town. The original owner had been to the town. After she married an old widower, she often went to the town to survive.

Sell ​​firewood.

Jiang Chan followed the memory of the original owner and walked towards the town. After all, she was young and fast on her feet. Even so, it still took her two hours to reach her destination. This shows how remote the Jiang family is.

It was early winter when Jiang Chan came here, and it was still dark at around six o'clock. There were not many pedestrians on the road, but the breakfast stall was open.

Standing in front of the stall and watching the shopkeeper making buns, Jiang Chan sniffed in frustration. It was actually the instinctive reaction of her body. The original owner had never eaten buns in her life, but the original owner's eldest brother Jiang Miao's food was quite good.

The youngest Jiang Xing could sometimes get some by being nice and good, but the original owner worked extremely hard every day, getting up earlier than a chicken and going to bed later than a dog, but instead he became the hardest working one in the family.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Chan's lips. She glanced at the white meat buns again, and then left without looking back. Only the stall owner was left hawking: "Baozi, newly released buns, one penny."

One piece of money."

Ignoring the cries of vendors along the way, Jiang Chan kept walking along the way and soon walked through the busiest streets in the town.

It was said to be the most prosperous, but in fact there was no comparison with modern times. After wandering around in this way, seeing that there were no people on the street, Jiang Chan simply stopped and leaned casually on the wall on one side.

She lowered her eyebrows and let her mind wander, thinking about what to do next. The place where she was standing happened to be the back door of a restaurant, and there was already some movement in the restaurant's back kitchen.

There were two wooden barrels placed on one side of the back door, and a few stray dogs were wandering around the back door. Suddenly the door creaked open, and a chubby man came out, waving to the stray dogs, and started feeding them in the next second.

these stray dogs.

Jiang Chan frowned and thought for a long time, and gradually an idea came into her mind. She walked around to the main entrance of the restaurant. At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and there were gradually more pedestrians walking on the street.

The restaurant was already open, and a waiter was cleaning the tables and benches. Seeing Jiang Chan come in, the waiter came up to him with a smile: "Brother, are you working in the restaurant or staying in the hotel?"

Jiang Chan was stunned, "Brother?" She then remembered that she was in a hurry to go out, and the clothes she wore were short and dusty. In addition, she didn't know how to comb her hair into a bun, so she only wore it in a ponytail.

Especially with her current small body, no breasts and no butt, it is understandable that the waiter would mistake her for a younger brother.

Jiang Chan felt a little panicked, but her face was tense. She said with a straight face: "I'm not a salesperson or a hotel owner. I'm looking for your shopkeeper."

The waiter, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, heard Jiang Chan say this and immediately took Jiang Chan to the counter. Standing at the counter was an old shopkeeper around fifty years old with a curly goatee.

He looks approachable, but the flash in his eyes cannot be deceived.

The shopkeeper saw Jiang Chan when she came in. Others are mature and the waiter would recognize the wrong gender, but he wouldn't. It's just that she didn't tell her, and the shopkeeper wouldn't point it out either.

Seeing the waiter leading Jiang Chan to the counter, the shopkeeper plucked his abacus and looked at the girl who was just a head taller than the counter: "Why are you looking for this old man?"

As a senior wage earner, Jiang Chan keeps her posture very low. Although she has few facial expressions, her mouth is fine and she can still speak.

"I'm Jiang Chan. I'm a good cook. I'd like to ask the shopkeeper to give me a job so I can make ends meet."

The shopkeeper's eyes widened. Although women are not prohibited from showing up in the world, there are still very few women working in the restaurant. What happened to his restaurant today?

When he saw Jiang Chan wearing a gray cloth jacket with a section of her wrist exposed, the shopkeeper stopped talking again. He didn't say anything else, he just asked with a smile: "There are several restaurants in this town.

, for example, the Chunfeng Restaurant not far away is the largest restaurant in the town, and there is Shu Yuzhai, which is also a famous restaurant, why did I choose this small restaurant like mine?"

Jiang Chan frowned, knowing that he must give a reason today, otherwise it would be unclear why they would keep you here to work?

"I came out early in the morning. I have visited both the Chunfeng Building and Shuyuzhai you mentioned, and I also walked around the back door. They are indeed very large and look very grand, but your place is different from them.

It’s different, more humane.”

These words immediately aroused the interest of the old shopkeeper. He looked at Jiang Chan leisurely: "How do you say this? Can you still see this human touch?"

"Of course you can tell." Jiang Chan nodded and quickly organized his words: "There are two wooden barrels in your back kitchen. They should be filled with leftovers from the guests the day before. I just said

I saw an uncle feeding stray dogs."

"I've also seen the back doors of Chunfeng Building and Shuyuzhai. There are also barrels for leftover food, but there are no stray dogs there. What does this mean?"

Jiang Chan's words were very pertinent, and the shopkeeper immediately became happy. He tapped Jiang Chan's head with his finger: "You are quite insightful. Are you literate?"

If it were the original owner, he would definitely be illiterate, but Jiang Chan could read. Although some of the characters were different, you could still understand it and guess its meaning by putting it together.

Jiang Chan was not that arrogant. She just nodded slightly and paraphrased Sister Lin's words: "I just know a few words."

The more the shopkeeper looked at Jiang Chan, the more interesting this girl became. He crossed his arms and said, "You are very popular with me. This is a restaurant. If your skills are not good, I can't stop you."

Jiang Chan immediately knew that the most difficult level was over, and the rest was a piece of cake. A smile finally appeared on her face: "If you don't believe it, I can show you a trick."
