The farmlands were flooded, causing all the crops to die. Many people took the relief silver and grain distributed by the government to their families. They thought that their hometowns would not be able to recover in a short period and that the season for planting had passed. Thus, they left their homes to make a living. It was more important to survive first and they planned to return only after their hometowns recovered.

Shopkeeper Qiao had heard about this flood.

However, the person in front of him was a foreigner and had a strange face, which made him more or less wary of their story. However, there was nothing to scheme against in their rice noodle shop. If they were here for the rice noodles, they should think of a way to enter the workshop to make them with them. Or, it might be easier to use money to secretly pry those people who made rice noodles in the workshop for ingredients. It was too difficult to find out how the rice noodles were made by their boss.

How shrewd was their boss to keep such a secret?

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Qiao let down his guard and smiled.

“Alright, then I’ll hire you. It’s quite difficult to find a boy servant who can read and ride a horse and carriage, You look quite smart.

“However, I have to tell you that you will be put to good use. Of course, you will be paid as deserved. You’ll be able to get a salary of one to two silver in half a month. However, if you are lying to me and are actually illiterate and unable to ride a horse and carriage, no matter which one you are short of, our shop will not accept you.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not lying to you,” Princess Jin said with a smile.

“If you aren’t, then that’s good.” Shopkeeper Qiao smiled as he picked up a book. He randomly flipped to a page and pointed at a word on it. “What do you think this word is?”

“Friend.’

“Oh right, you really can read! I trust you.” As he spoke, Shopkeeper Qiao called someone over and asked that person to bring Princess Jin to the stable in the backyard to see if Princess Jin knew how to ride a horse and drive a

carriage.

After a while, that person brought Princess Jin back. He told Shopkeeper Qiao that Princess Jin knew how to ride a horse and drive a carriage. She also knew how to hitch a carriage and was quite skilled in maneuvering the carriage. Shopkeeper Qiao nodded and smiled. “When my boss comes back, I will let him know that you will be the new hire. You will have to do many things for him. Right! I still don’t know your name.”

If Princess Jin went out, she would usually have two nicknames. If she dressed up as a woman, she would be called Lin Yu. If she dressed up as a man, she would be called Yu Mumu.

Now that she was dressed as a man, she naturally replied, “My name is Yu

Mumu.”

“Alright.” Shopkeeper Qiao smiled and nodded. “Oh right, since you’re hired, I have to tell you. The boss I’m talking about is from the Xue family, Xue Sifu. He has brothers, so you should address them accordingly. Sifu has been busy trying to find different locations to open a new shop, so he hasn’t been coming here to manage this one… I reckon it will only be possible at night…”

At this point, Xue Sifu returned.

Behind Xue Sifu was Xue Xiaoxi’s son, Sun Zhuangzhuang..
