Chapter 199 Song Wanshi has no confidence
After being away for a few days, Lao Xu's boat still hasn't been repaired.
Not to mention the boat, even his family's fishing net was half-mended.
When she saw it with her own eyes, Shen Yitian couldn't help but sigh again, thinking about the hardships of fishermen.
If they rely on this little catch every day to survive, they will probably go hungry for a day if the fishing net is broken.
In other words, she bought all the fish that Lao Xu had caught some time ago, so they could focus on repairing the fishing nets. Otherwise, they would have hurriedly gone out to sea.
When Mr. and Mrs. Xu heard that Shen Yitian wanted to buy fish from them every day, they were so happy.
Lao Xu immediately started cooking and insisted on inviting Shen Yitian to have a meal. Shen Yitian reluctantly left after much refusals.
After dinner, Shen Yitian asked Shengsheng to prepare pen and ink, and to write about some dishes that existed in later generations but were not here.
For example, various pickles, braised dishes, and special roast duck and roast goose.
When she was stocking up on goods, she also made a lot of preparations in this regard when she had free time.
In the Internet age, she can’t find other people’s secret recipes, but she has collected quite a few simple home-cooked dishes.
If she were left to do it herself, she might still be a little nervous.
But now that she has someone who is very good at cooking, she has no other worries.
Just like some other ways of eating she had requested before, the person always made them amazing the first time.
As long as she wrote down the general approach and gave it to him, Shen Yitian believed that she would get a very satisfactory answer.
The emergence of electronic products in this era is still a bit explosive. In order to avoid trouble, Shen Yitian locked herself in the room to write.
I had just written two methods for pickling kimchi when Shengsheng knocked on the door.
"Miss, Sister Wan from the second branch of the Song family is here." She called softly.
Shen Yitian nodded, immediately put the tablet away and went to open the door.
"Sister Wan also brought some delicious food, Miss, go and take a look." Shengsheng looked very excited.
Shen Yitian tapped her head with her finger, her eyes full of smiles.
Shen Yitian probably knew about this guy. After following him for some time, he had become a little foodie.
To make her so excited, it’s likely that Song Wanshi brought food.
The yard is not big, and the houses in the fishing village don’t have front halls or back yards. The place where guests are received is actually where Shen Yitian eats every day.
When she walked into the room, Song Wanshi was sitting and drinking the chrysanthemum tea that Shengsheng had brewed for her. She immediately stood up when she saw Shen Yitian coming over.
"Sister Wan, please sit down. You don't have to be so polite." Shen Yitian smiled and walked to the chair next to her and sat down.
Shengsheng also poured her a cup of tea, then stood obediently beside Shen Yitian.
"Grandmother said that you want me to help you manage the restaurant?" The two of them were quite familiar with each other, and Song Wanshi didn't bother to be polite with Shen Yitian. She went straight to the point.
Shen Yitian hummed: "Yes, I want to open a restaurant in the county town, what do you think, Sister Wan?"
Song Wan pursed her lips and looked at her with some worry.
"I know the Shen family's status in the capital, but we are unfamiliar with the place. Is it possible for you to open a restaurant so suddenly?"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Shen Yitian said with a smile.
Mrs. Song Wan was still worried: "But we are still exiled prisoners."
"Grandma Li will go to Nanwu City tomorrow. Just leave this matter to me." Shen Yitian took over the conversation.
"Well...what can I do for you? Have you chosen a shop? How big is it? I have run a restaurant before, so I have some experience, but not much." Song Wanshi said with a little stutter.
The Shen family owns most of the shops in the capital, and they are involved in all kinds of business.
Which businessman in the capital doesn't know the Shen family? Everyone takes the Shen family as an example.
Now the Shen family wants her to take care of the business...
Song Wan's hands were trembling slightly. She was excited, but also a little panicked.
"Sister Wan, you don't have to be so nervous." Noticing her helplessness, Shen Yitian spoke directly to comfort her.
"Ha, haha, I'm not nervous." Song Wanshi laughed dryly twice and looked even more nervous.
Seeing her like this, Shen Yitian could only pull her aside and talk to her about other things.
After she calmed down a bit, she said, "I invited you because I wanted you to be my female manager."
"Snapped!"
Song Wanshi had just picked up the teacup to take a sip of chrysanthemum tea when it fell to the ground and broke into many pieces.
Just like Song Wanshi's self-confidence.
"Ms. Shen, don't joke with me." She smiled awkwardly and tried to pick up the broken pieces.
Shengsheng told her not to move and to clean up the mess herself.
Shen Yitian pinched her eyebrows and felt a little headache.
She used to think that Song Wanshi was a calm person, so how could she get so excited after just a few words?
"Why would I joke with you? I'm serious." She said sincerely.
Mrs. Song Wan used to be a shopkeeper, so she has some experience.
She would not feel at ease if she were asked to find a stranger.
Since Song Wanshi is here, let her try it first. If it doesn't suit you, we can change it later.
Song Wanshi took good care of her along the way, and asked her to be the shopkeeper so that she could help the family, so why not?
"I'm just a woman, and..."
"What's wrong with being a woman, Sister Wan? Weren't you also the manager when you opened your own restaurant?" Shen Yitian interrupted indifferently.
Song Wan smiled bitterly. God knows how much criticism she had endured as the shopkeeper at that time.
and..
"It's just a small shop, not a restaurant. Besides, people say women are not as good at accounting as men."
"Who said that? This is different for men and women. So, Sister Wan, just go ahead and give it a try. How can you know if it works if you don't try? Besides, I didn't say we'll open tomorrow. The shop still needs to be renovated, and we need to prepare for stocking. There's a lot of work to do. Before that, Sister Wan, you can prepare well."
Although the second branch of the Song family does not have a big business, they are profitable in every aspect.
If they hadn't had their property confiscated and they had been exiled, their life wouldn't have been bad.
Grandma Li agreed with the business ability of the second branch of the Song family, and Shen Yitian just wanted them to give it a try.
"You trust me so much." Song Wanshi was a little hesitant.
Of course it's good to be able to make money, and she doesn't care about other people's criticism.
Mainly, she was afraid that others would talk about Shen Yitian.
Since Shen Yitian insisted so much and came to her house to say it, it would be a bit impolite for her to refuse again.
So he composed himself, took several deep breaths, and then said with a trembling voice, "Okay, I'll try it when the time comes."
After finishing her business, she pushed the things she had prepared in front of Shen Yitian.
"This is a little treat I made myself. Try it. It's not the best, but I thought you might like it, so I brought it to you."
It was an oil paper bag, and you could tell from the outside that the contents were greasy.
Shen Yitian opened it curiously, and found spicy fried small conch inside.
It’s red and greasy, and it looks delicious and flavourful just by looking at it!
