211 Chapter 211 Inquiry

The next morning, the couple came to town in a carriage. When they pa.s.sed 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 couldnt help but ask curiously, Aunt Jiaxi, is there any good news in the village?

Oh, Chengrui. Today is Chunhongs wedding; a groom is marrying into Widow Huas family. Were all going to join the festival. Mrs. Bai paused for a moment before she smiled and replied.

Marrying into?

Yes, this years year isnt good, and many families have too many children. They will marry off their children if they cant afford to raise them. At least they will survive, right?

So thats how it is. Which village is the groom from?

I heard hes from a town, but I dont know the details.

Gu Chengrui nodded. Then you go ahead. Well 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 didnt expect that the always proud and arrogant Chunhong would choose to get someone to marry into their family, but she didnt 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 dont understand what you mean. Qiu Yu asked, confused.

Its about what you want to do in the future. You cant be a shop a.s.sistant 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 havent thought about anything else, and that can wait until we grow up.

Wont it be too late then? At your age, you should be learning a craft. Itll be a pity if you miss it.

But I cant read, write, or draw? Qiu Yu scratched his head and replied.

What if were 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 restaurants business is doing well. Well 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 Yus eyes brightened up, and he replied, Can I learn to cook?

Naturally,

Thats great! Then, I can make whatever I want to eat!

Go to the kitchen, help out when youre free, and see who you click better with. Itll 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 didnt. Qiu Yu shook his head.

I see. Fang Qings eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression.

Brother Fang, whats wrong? Qiu Yu asked nervously.
