Chapter 86: Poached
Wu Qingyuan and Amo returned to the town after the New Year holiday, and they didn’t even have time to drink water before Wang Dafu, who had been waiting at the gate of their town’s courtyard, hurriedly came up to report.
According to Wang Dafu, several chefs in their shop were supposed to come to the shop to start work in the ninth day of the New Year, but no one came yesterday, and when Wang Dafu went to look at the several people’s homes today, these cooks homes were all closed, and even so, he still knocked on the door and shouted but they didn’t make a sound, showing that they were skipping work.
This kind of thing is not common in the town, where jobs are difficult to find, and few people will easily change jobs.
And Wu Qingyuan has always been very generous to the guys and helpers, and the salary is much higher than other stores. Not to mention, in addition to sending things to everyone for the New Year, there are also a lot of benefits at ordinary times- for example, an employee’s family can have discounts when they come to the store, and the turnover in the store will be rewarded on the day when it reaches a certain standard. And when working under him, as long as they don’t make mistakes and get things done, they won’t be easily punished. Working at Wu Ji’s shop is definitely what most ordinary people in town dream of.
It’s strange that the cook in the store is skipping work at this moment.
“Master, the treatment in our store is so good, someone must have poached them!”
Wang Dafu said indignantly, he had helped the Qian family to do this kind of thing before, and he was proud after doing it, but now that he has suffered on his side, he is resentful.
“What…..”
Wu Qingyuan was silent, and Amo’s complexion suddenly turned bad, and he took a deep breath and fainted.
Wu Ji Department Store’s food area has always been under his care, before the store business was good he was already so busy alone but he thought that in the future when the business became bigger, he would open a branch, each branch needed a chef, so he prepared in advance and selected a few smart and qualified apprentices, and taught everyone the unique dishes he learned from Wu Qingyuan’s modern recipes.
For the secret recipe, for this matter, he should be cautious. Amo was afraid that his own cooking method will be passed out so when selecting people, he naturally tested and checked, and made sure that their characters were good before accepting apprentices, who knew that now all of them were poached, these cooks are his painstaking efforts, and he can’t stand this stimulation.
“Amo!”
“Master, Fulang!”
Amo suddenly fainted and frightened Wu Qingyuan and Wang Dafu, they ordered a slave to go to the doctor. Wu Qingyuan quickly checked the person on the spot for first aid, Wang Dafu ran to bring water and waited for Amo to ease his breath before helping him into the house.

“Madam, you should not be angry, master definitely has a solution…”

Amo now understands what it means for an apprentice to starve its master, and what it means to be bitten by those he fed, what betrayal means. He was so good to those cooks but these people were poached so easily.
“So what if they learn the dishes? The recipes I gave you are just a bit of what I know, they haven’t learned all the things that they should have, what can they do when they run with half a piece of something? What’s more, our dishes do not rely on just the cooks, but also the spices of the ten acres of good land that your husband especially planted for you. Fool, what are you angry for…..”
Wu Qingyuan is also angry in his heart, but it is useless to be angry, the people have been poached out and he can only be angry with himself.
What’s more, the business on this side of Amo’s Food District does not rely on recipes alone, all kinds of seasonings are the real magic weapon, and those methods of cooking, Amo originally did not learn much, the real classic cooking skills are still with him, the departure of these cooks is not much loss for them, it was just to see their character as soon as possible, so as not to lose more in the future.
“But Brother Wu, I’ve taught them for a long time…”
“We encounter problems and gain wisdom. There is no one who doesn’t stumble. Let’s look back on this matter later and let the doctor check you now.”
Wu Qingyuan touched Amo’s face to comfort him, the cook’s matter will be discussed later, Amo’s body is more important, he just fainted and his face is still white. Amo’s mental health does not seem to be very good these days, his complexion is a little bad, let the doctor see him first.
At this time, Amo couldn’t resist him, and he was angry in his heart that there was no way, so he could only listen to him first, and stretched out his hand to let the doctor check his pulse.
“Doctor, how is my husband? He doesn’t look very good these days, and he fainted just now…” Seeing that the doctor frowned and did not make a sound for a long time, Wu Qingyuan was a little anxious.
“No hurry, let this old man take a look.”
The old doctor was not in a hurry, touching his beard and checking his pulse.
It’s not your husband, of course, you’re not in a hurry!
Wu Qingyuan was still unstable and secretly annoyed for the first time, but he didn’t dare to say this, he still counted on the doctor to help him check Amo, and he could only wait patiently. His heart was anxious after Zhou-ger had frightened him during the New Year, he realized how terrible it was to get sick in ancient times that was backward in medicine.
Amo was affected by his emotions and gradually turned his attention to the doctor, he was also afraid of getting sick, and he needed to drink medicine when he was sick, and he hated drinking medicine the most.
The two masters did not speak, and the slaves in the house did not dare to make a sound, trying to let the doctor read the pulse in a quiet environment.
After a long time, the doctor who took the pulse withdrew his hand, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and he gave the news.
“Congratulations to Boss Wu, your Fulang has a happy event…..”
“Ah, there is?” Both of them were a little unresponsive, it was too sudden, they were still discussing whether they could conceive a child the other day, and this is it?!
“Yes, there is no mistake in this old man’s diagnosis, Wu Fulang has been pregnant for almost two months.”
The old doctor stroked his beard and smiled, he can’t blame the two for being too surprised suddenly, the ger is different from the woman, there are basically no symptoms before pregnancy, unlike women who have signs such as vomiting and acidophilia. If one does not look for the doctor, they will normally not find out until much later.
This is also why it is difficult for most gers to have children, because the ger is a strong laborer working at home, and once the ger has passed through childbirth, it is more difficult to get pregnant again, so it is really hard to be a ger.
“Congratulations Master! Congratulations to the family!” Wang Dafu and the slaves quickly said congratulations when they heard this, such a good opportunity to compliment and say two words to please the master should not be lost in vain!
Hearing everyone’s voice, the two finally came to their senses.
Amo grabbed Wu Qingyuan’s arm excitedly and incredulously, “Brother Wu, we have a child, the doctor said that we have a child, I, I didn’t dream this, right?”
Saying that, he pinched Wang Dafu’s arm next to him, and then asked, “Wang Dafu, does it hurt?”
“It hurts so much…. Master.” Wang Dafu sighed bitterly.
“If you feel pain then this is not a dream! Hahaha, Brother Wu, we really have a baby!
Amo happily got up from his chair.
Wu Qingyuan and the slaves looked at the cheerful and happy Amo and looked at Wang Dafu, who was unlucky as he covered his arm, and laughed out loud very unrighteously, the matter of the cook being poached just now had no impact at all at this moment. Now, there is nothing more important than Amo’s pregnancy.
When Amo was happy enough to stop, Wu Qingyuan carefully asked the doctor about the precautions during pregnancy, and then asked the doctor to prescribe anti-fetal pills, and asked about Amo’s current physical condition several times.
Carrying a child has always been Amo’s wish, and at this moment his wish has been fulfilled, and when the doctor left, he was still laughing, Wu Qingyuan was in a much better mood than him, and immediately ordered the slave to return to Liushu Village to congratulate the rest of the family.
Lin Shugen, Zhou-ger, and others in the village heard that Amo was pregnant, and hurried to the town that night, Zhou-ger wanted to come, but he just gave birth and couldn’t come out, so he could only regretfully stay at home and command Zhang Dazhu to come to town.
The villagers in the village came to the town in droves the next day to congratulate him, and now the Wu family is the god of wealth who leads everyone to make money.
Regardless of the fact that the cook was poached, this year, it was really one happy event after another.
As for those cooks jumping ship, Wu Qingyuan did not go to the door to talk to them, nor did he find a way to invite people back, if Wu Ji Food Store did not post a notice saying that the opening time of the store would be postponed this year, it would be like nothing happened.
………..
“Hahaha, this time we calculated against him, without those cooks, see how he Wu Ji still opens!”
The Qian family, several large landowners in Shiqiao Town gathered together, patting the table and laughing in relief, now there is no one else who can oppose the Wu family except them.
After being happy, everyone continued to ask Madam Qian for advice, “Madam Qian, you are truly smart, what should we do next?”
At the beginning of this year, they managed to win against the Wu family and caused the other party loses so the anger that everyone has from being smashed by Wu Qingyuan finally smoothed a little.
“We want one of those cooks in the family. We will save the business loss temporarily. This Wu Qingyuan is not easy to deal with, so I will slowly figure out a solution in the future…” Madam Qian frowned and seriously instructed.
This time the cook’s affairs can not be regarded as venting, if they really want to vent their anger, they must have the Wu family completely bankrupt, but it is not easy. The Wu family has no powerful people to support them, and their relationship is not widespread.
The Qian family is the largest landowner in Shiqiao Town, and everyone has seen Madam Qian’s means when she was young, so there is no opinion, only she is the first to look at the situation, and at this moment, she just laughed happily, twittering to discuss the end of the fall of the Wu family.
Only Li Yuanwai, who was sitting in the most corner, shook his head slightly, pursed his mouth and secretly made up his mind to draw a line with these people after going back, being happy so early, a group of fools.
At least one of them still has brains 😆
Ohmyy~~ His wish came true! May god not let him have a hard labour too pleaseee
