211 Chapter 211 Inquiry
The next morning, the couple came to town in a carriage. When they passed by the middle of the village, they smelled a strong aroma of food.
They happened to meet Mrs. Bai, who was also smiling. Gu Chengrui couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Aunt Jiaxi, is there any good news in the village?”
“Oh, Chengrui. Today is Chunhong’s wedding; a groom is marrying into Widow Hua’s family. We’re all going to join the festival.” Mrs. Bai paused for a moment before she smiled and replied.
“Marrying into?”
“Yes, this year’s year isn’t good, and many families have too many children. They will marry off their children if they can’t afford to raise them. At least they will survive, right?”
“So that’s how it is. Which village is the groom from?”
“I heard he’s from a town, but I don’t know the details.”
Gu Chengrui nodded. “Then you go ahead. We’ll be going to town.”
After speaking, he whipped, and the horse carriage rushed to town.
“Chengrui, when you come back, remember to bring me some herbs for herbal tea,” Mrs. Bai called out after remembering something.
“Alright.” Gu Chengrui turned around and replied, continuing to drive the carriage.
Zhou Ying, who was in the carriage, heard the news too. She didn’t expect that the always proud and arrogant Chunhong would choose to get someone to marry into their family, but she didn’t think about it anymore after a moment.
When they arrived in town, Gu Chengrui saw that the little child beggars had already moved into the restaurant. He looked for Qiu Yu, who was the oldest, and asked, “Qiu Yu, do you have any plans for the future?”
“I don’t understand what you mean.” Qiu Yu asked, confused.
“It’s about what you want to do in the future. You can’t be a shop assistant for the rest of your life, right?”
Qiu Yu shook his head. “We just want to eat and have a piece of cloth over us. We haven’t thought about anything else, and that can wait until we grow up.”
“Won’t it be too late then? At your age, you should be learning a craft. It’ll be a pity if you miss it.”
“But I can’t read, write, or draw?” Qiu Yu scratched his head and replied.
“What if we’re willing to teach you?”
Qiu Yu was dazed. He looked up at him in disbelief. “Boss, what, what do you mean?”
“You also know that our restaurant’s business is doing well. We’ll open more branch stores and other businesses in the future. So, we want to train a group of people who are loyal to us.
“I see that you have no one to rely on. So, what do you think?”
Qiu Yu’s eyes brightened up, and he replied, “Can I learn to cook?”
“Naturally,”
“That’s great! Then, I can make whatever I want to eat!”
“Go to the kitchen, help out when you’re free, and see who you click better with. It’ll be best if you can find someone who takes a liking to you.”
“I understand. Thank you, boss.” Qiu Yu immediately kneeled and kowtowed.
“It all depends on your talent. There are just some who are born bad at cooking.” Gu Chengrui helped him up.
“Yes, I will work hard.”
“Ask your brothers and sisters later to see what they think. Let me know when I get back.”
“Alright, leave this to me.”
Gu Chengrui smiled and patted his small shoulder. He turned around and walked out after that.
Once he left, the news quickly spread in the small restaurant. Sun Hongliang and the others naturally knew about it.
Fang Qing immediately went to Qiu Yu and asked, “Did the owner ask you to sign a contract?”
“No, he didn’t.” Qiu Yu shook his head.
“I see.” Fang Qing’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression.
“Brother Fang, what’s wrong?” Qiu Yu asked nervously.
