Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 104 - Sucks Being Poor

Chapter 104 - Sucks Being Poor

Lin Yan pondered about what she had said and thought that it made sense , The Su family have already troubled them twice in just a month , if this continues maybe they might never learn their lesson and keep disturbing them .

" I will ask Burly Duo if there are any other men who wants to work as a guard , if there are I will hire them for the other shops " Burly Duo was the big guy who picked Su Bai up with the back of his collar .

Once the lunch time arrived , the dock workers who have finished working like mad men - usually they would take at least one and a half hour to unload the cargo from the s.h.i.+p but today with Old Peng in lead , the dock workers finished the work in just one hour , the cargo owner was so shocked at their speed that he ended up believing that this team of workers were really efficient and hard working . Due to this he promised Old Sun that if he wanted someone to unload his cargo next time he would come to his team for sure .

Old Sun was more than ecstatic , he looked at Su Wan's restaurant and happily did a merry dance , it was really lucky that this shop was right in front of his area or else someone else would have been counting the money in place of him - earlier when a dock worker got sick due to eating in this restaurant and his family created a lot of ruckus that it scared away his customers , at that time Old Sun wished he could burn this restaurant down but now this very restaurant got him many customers !

Su Wan 's first customer was naturally Old Peng he rushed first in the restaurant , with sweat dripping down his body as he couldn't bother wiping it all off " Little s.h.i.+ get me a bowl of fish Salisbury steak and today's specialty - and get me three Egg Fu young , remember to pack them my kids want to eat it "

" Okay , one bowl of fish Salisbury steak and twice cooked pork coming right away - Little Cao go and? call Little Mi to pack the egg foo young , and then come back to help me serve " Since their restaurant have started to get a sea of people rus.h.i.+ng in everyday they hired a new helper called Little Mi , who was responsible to packing the customers orders in case they order it .

Manager w.a.n.g hobbled around smiling and chatting with the customers , he looked like a kind old man who greeted everyone with auspicious greetings " Ah Old Peng you ordered two bowls and three packets - you know what I will give you a discount , that will twenty copper coins "

Old Peng happily paid the money when he heard that Manager w.a.n.g was going to give him a discount . Because Lin Yan was cooking ever since he came , it didn't take long for Little s.h.i.+ to bring Old Peng 's order , Old Peng saw that the speciality was different from the fish steak and took a bite - immediately a hint of regret flashed in his heart , he should have asked Little s.h.i.+ to pack this too .

He looked at the two boys who were running around the restaurant like they were flying and then sighed in regret , even if he tried to order now in this myriad of crowd there was a possibility nothing will be left - Old Peng could only take small bite hoping to savour the delicious flavour with each bite .

The vast majority of dock workers soon wiped the food that Lin Yan had cooked and it didn't take long for Lin Yan to put down the wok and ladle , and sit back down on the chair . They did hired a lot of workers but Lin Yan was worried about the recipe getting into someone else's hand so he was adamant about cooking every dish on his own .

Which meant he was the only chef of such big customers , Su Wan saw his tired profile and felt? a bit of sympathy rise in her heart she stood up and brought him a cup of water " here you go "

Lin Yan took the cup that was filled with water and jokingly spoke " should I be thankful that you brought me water on your own accord ?"

Snorting Su Wan plopped down on the chair again " of course you should but I still say you buy a new servant and teach him " buying was different than hiring if a brought servant dared to betray his master , his life and death could be decided by his master - though Su Wan didn't like the idea of buying a slave but she didn't like Lin Yan toiling himself so hard everyday more .

Lin Yan drank the water and shook his head " we don't have much money - and a decent worker will cost at least ten taels , If we spend ten taels on buying a slave we will be too short on Mother's medicine this month "

Su Wan bit the inside of her cheek - really , being poor was so annoying ! She really need to launch some new dishes and products if she wants to raise her family's living condition .

Su Wan and Lin Yan packed up soon and went to Shan Shui shop where they picked up Lin Yu who was flushed with excitement " M..madam Cheng said th..that my em..embroidery was even better than h…hers " he told Su Wan his cheeks tinted with red blush " She said tha..that if every..everything went alright , we can st..start selling from n…next month "

" Good for you , Yu " said Su Wan happily patting Lin Yu 's shoulder , great now with all three shops functioning together , she wouldn't have to worry about her husbands working too hard .

They took the ox cart back to the village and arrived back home where Lin Jing was sitting in the courtyard , chopping the wood that he had just brought from the forest . Su Wan took a glance at the wood and her brows furrowed , didn't they promised to go tomorrow ? Did Lin Jing broke his promise, unhappy about getting betrayed , she hurriedly rushed forward to him and sat down in front of him with an angry yet cute expression " What is this Jing ge ? Didn't we promise to go together tomorrow ?"

Lin Jing stopped his work and looked at Su Wan then said " didn't get enough will go tomorrow "

Which meant that he didn't get enough wood today and will go tomorrow to bring some more .

Su Wan 's unsettled heart finally eased , humph if he broke such a small promise today who knows what serious promises he will break tomorrow " its good that you know , if you really tried to break the promise - see how I set you right !"

Lin Jing who saw Su Wan's relentless yet cute appearance could only smile at her , such a tiny girl dares to talk about setting him right really ? How cute !

next chapter will be 18+ and Lin Yu? might do some? freaky and a.s.sholr kind of thing in the eyes of some but his character? is a wolf in sheep's clothing , he can't? get rid of his cute appearance? yet so please? bear with me ! no ra*e , nothing just a sleepy adventure
