Beautiful Rural Cook Girl: Volume 3

By Shen KuanKuan

The top chef, Mei Jing, opened his eyes to discover that he had crossed over.

When he looked again, it was a good fellow! She was forced to marry an old man and Steamed Bun Dad were hiding at the side laughing?She had the heart of a buddha, the body of a wicked blood relative, the family of a Taoist uncle and aunt, as well as all the advantages of an uncle and aunt!

Facing a shabby thatched cottage that was still surrounded by a pack of wolves, Mei Jingtian looked up to the sky and picked up his food. He set up his stall, cooked, opened his restaurant, and brewed wine! The gold and silver that were rolling everywhere came in waves. The trouble of top-grade relatives also came one after another.

Mei Jing rolled up his sleeves as he took his mother to the peak of life.

As soon as the clinker changes, the matchmaker tramples on the door, and the letter of engagement is like a snowflake.

Although it seemed like a congratulatory gift to a general, he was actually planning to marry her!

CHAPTER 201 - PERFORMANCE WITHOUT MONEY

Everyone, line up! Let's check them one by one, don't jabber on there, I'm holding a job fair here, not a vegetable market!" Mei Jing said coldly. A woman walked up and obediently extended her hand for Mei Jing to examine.

The woman's clothes were washed until they were white. They were worn out, but they were washed clean, even though the edges of her clothes were very clean. Her outstretched hands, although her fingers were thick with calluses, did not have nails that were embedded with dirt.

Mei Jing raised her head and grinned. Sister-in-law, you've already completed your initial examination. I'll have to trouble you to sit by the side with a cup of cold tea and wait. We still have a small exam later.

As soon as she heard that she had passed, the woman excitedly walked in the direction Mei Jing had pointed to. In a moment, Lin Shuangshuang came out with a bowl and teapot, pouring a cup for the woman. Mei Jing had made this tea early in the morning. Although it was still March and it wasn't yet the time to get angry, it was quite likely that she was angry. Therefore, she made some tea that was still sweet and refreshing and served as drinks.

Everyone looked enviously at the woman who had passed the first round of examination. Their eyes were almost red, this was Young Madame Liu, her Meigen Village was famous for being diligent and quick-witted, and being able to pass Mei Jing's examination was within everyone's expectations. However, there would always be people who were unbalanced. Seeing that Young Madame Liu had passed the first round of examinations, they all began to speak in a sour tone.

A weasel wishing a chicken a new year, eating people's short tongues ah. When the time comes, they will give you unpaid wages, and you will drink someone else's cold tea. You don't even know how to ask for wages!

Yeah, so what if it's clean and tidy? In the end, wasn't it still cheated?

Mei Jing had had enough of these nickel-and-dime women who were obviously not willing to go through the examination when they knew she was not clean, so she walked right up to them and shouted coldly, Please leave my recruitment party right now. Even if you're all clean and well dressed, I can't let you come to my house to work just for the sake of your character!

Making sausages is a trade secret. She's taught her disciple now, so it won't be too late for her to starve her master in a year or two." They were all unreasonable people who only cared about their own interests. Even if they recruited such a person and signed a contract with them, if the method of making sausages were to be spread out, they would be bitten back in court, saying that she, Mei Jing, was heartless and did not care about her village sentiments.

Instead of finding a topic to talk to these women, he might as well kill them in the cradle right now and refuse to recruit them, no matter how hasty his home was or how lacking manpower!

Hearing these words, the old wives were also enraged, and directly placed their hands on their waists, What happened!? Are you playing with me? We agreed on 30 gold a day, and now this old lady is dragging her relatives to line up so early in the morning, and says that she won't take it?

Bang!

As she spoke, the woman began kicking the bench.

I definitely can't afford to pay you. Just say it out! Pui, filthy, dirty heart, why are you acting like a fatty when you don't have any money!?

Mattress wool, I've let us work for her so she can earn some money. When the time comes, we can't earn any more money, so we won't give it to her. Business people just work these twists and turns, I've worked at the dock for dozens of years, have I not seen any of these? This is how you act when you don't have any money!

Mei Jing chuckled. They were just a bunch of shitty girls who didn't like to clean up. Did she really have to use it as a food industry worker?

CHAPTER 202 - DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE PLUM SCENE

Mei Jing swept a glance at those few women. Mei Jing, who was used to being in the upper echelons, looked at them with a serious expression. Whether I have the silver to pay the workers is my business. But none of you will get even half a copper coin from me. As for the others, if they really think that I don't have the money to pay them, they can leave right now. No one will ask them to stay.

Mei Jing's aura was scary, but they quickly realized that she was just an underage girl. They had lived for forty to fifty years, so how could they be afraid of Mei Jing?

Immediately, the few women thought about it and immediately scolded: Everyone look! Mei Jing, this little slut, just feels guilty. She doesn't even have money. Fellow villagers, don't believe her. Go back to where you came from!"

Mei Jing paid no heed to their howls. Whether they had the money or not was up to them. It would be disrespectful to argue with her. However, this was good as well. After all, if they made a ruckus for her, they could also test her for her lack of good intentions in coming here to work. If they continued to be suspicious and give it a try, she wouldn't have that much energy to be the touchstone.

Sure enough, under the clamor of the old wives, many people had already begun to waver.

Mei Jing had indeed earned a lot during this period of time, and everyone had noticed it. However, they also knew that earning money was not for nothing. The more they earned, the more it would cost. Mei Jing was also a little girl, so she might even use money to buy a dowry. What would they do if someone else came along and got married? What would they do if they didn't have any money?

Don't forget that Mei Jing was still a month and a half away from her prime. If she wanted to run away, it would be as easy as flipping her hand over.

How about … how about we come back next time … Plenty of things to do in the spring …

That's right, Jing. Let's wait for your next recruitment before coming back.

A few of the younger girls, however, refused to leave. They had been brought here by their elders, and were approaching the age to kiss. The aunts who had married into Meigen Village had gone back home to tell their parents that Mei Jing had high wages and would be able to get thirty coins a day even without the sun and wind. When they got married, they would definitely have rich dowry. Now that the elders and Mei Jing were at loggerheads and asking them to go with them, of course they wouldn't. Since they were doing farm work at home, they would rather bet on Mei Jing's family's wages.

In any case, they would be able to make it home in a month if they didn't pay.

Many people were still skeptical of Mei Jing, which was why a large number of people had dispersed when the old wives made a ruckus.

The Village Chief was dumbfounded. This … what's going on with these people?! Is it not safe enough for him to vouch here?

Mei Jing let out a sigh as she swept her eyes over the remaining ten or so people. Other than Young Madame Liu who had passed the first round, there were two neat and intelligent women who looked to be about fifty years old, and another seven or eight girls who looked to be around Mei Jing's age. Mei Jing also looked very smart, and Mei Jing checked all of them according to her original requirements.

Mei Jing nodded her head repeatedly. All of you are doing quite well. Next, we will proceed to the second and final exam. Please follow me.

CHAPTER 203 - ABLUENT PIG INTESTINES

The crowd followed behind Mei Jing and entered the courtyard in a long line.

Suddenly, a foul stench assaulted their noses, forcing the female applicants to cover their noses and mouths.

What … What was the final test?

Mei Jing pointed to the pork intestines that Lin Shuangshuang was currently washing and said to everyone, This is the main ingredient to make the sausages. The purpose of hiring everyone here is to wash the intestines, as well as to fill the sausages. So now, if you find this disgusting and unacceptable, you can go out for a cup of cold tea and rest for a while before going home. After all, the following matters are related to trade secrets, I don't want my Sausage Secret Skill to be leaked so quickly.

Several people looked at each other in dismay. They wanted to leave, but were reluctant to do so. They had finally gotten to this point, how could they turn around and give up?

Sister Mei Jing, can you let me try washing the intestines? The taciturn Young Madame Liu stood up and rolled up her sleeves while looking expectantly at Mei Jing, as if she was worried that Mei Jing would refuse her on the spot.

Mei Jing was eager for someone to take the lead, so she immediately nodded, Okay, go find a small stool to sit down. Later, let Shuangshuang teach you how to deal with your large intestine. Who else wants to try? Otherwise, I can only send you off …" There was no other way. The matter of scrubbing the pig's intestines with salt was still rather confidential.

Me! I want to give it a try! The young lady who had stepped out was called Ning Jinfeng. She was a person from the Ning Family Village, and she was very candid and passionate. She was the kind of girl who would speak bluntly whenever she wanted to.

Mei Jing nodded and gave a thumbs up, praising, Go find a stool and sit down.

Ning Jinfeng nodded and quickly found a stool to sit beside Young Madame Liu.

They were willing to do anything in order to make money, so they sat down as well. As for the remaining six girls, four of them came together, and when they saw that they were going to clean up their intestines, they immediately accepted the idea of incompetence. To put it bluntly, their hands were not meant to stir up feces, so how could they leave a pig's intestines …? Ugh, just the thought of it made them want to vomit!

As a result, four young girls left, leaving behind only Young Madame Liu, three wives, Ning Jinfeng, as well as two twin sisters named Dong Zhu and Dong Zhu. A total of seven people.

Mei Jing pulled up her skirt, rolled up her sleeves and sat on the bench. Together with Lin Shuangshuang, she explained the essentials of washing the small intestine.

First, he had to cut off the fat on the outside with scissors. After cleaning the fat, he would use a connected water pipe to fill his large intestine and wash the filth inside clean, then use chopsticks to turn the whole intestines upside down. Finally, after he had thoroughly washed it, he would add in the flour and salt, add a little water and start scrubbing again and again.

Because the small intestine is used as a sausage, it must be kept intact. When removing the fat with scissors, you must be careful not to cut the intestines, or else it will be very difficult to treat when filling the sausage.

Everyone looked at Mei Jing's skillful hands. At first, they felt a little disgusted, but gradually, they started to get used to it.

It seemed that as long as the filth was removed, there would no longer be anything disgusting after being flushed into the ditch. Washing pork was also a form of washing, while having large intestine was considered a form of meat. Wasn't it all a form of washing? What can't be done?

Suddenly, everyone was enlightened, and they all rushed to give it a try.

CHAPTER 204 - WELFARE TREATMENT

This, of course, was something Mei Jing liked to see. The hired workers were able to like the pork intestines, and it would be much more convenient when doing things in the future. Therefore, Mei Jing no longer occupied her original position. She gave the space to Lin Shuangshuang and the seven new workers to talk about her 'bitter history', how she had overcome her disdain for pigs, and how she had gradually become like this.

Mei Jing found it funny, but the truth was almost the same.

In that case, she might as well just let Lin Shuangshuang become her god.

Mei Jing walked into the room. Soong Liangchen was sitting with the Village Head, drinking cold tea.

It was clearly a pot of mountain herb, yet Soong Liangchen drank it like a dragon well. Soong Liangchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he walked forward, snatched the cup from Soong Liangchen's hand, and downed it in one gulp.

He didn't notice the man's weird eyes at all, nor did he notice that she was drinking from a glass that Soong Liangchen had used before. It was the equivalent of an indirect kiss.

There was no helping it, Mei Jing was really too thirsty!

After drinking the cold tea, Mei Jing sat down and said with a smile, Village Head Grandpa, have you finished writing the documents I asked you to transcribe?

It's done, all that's left is the wages and treatment you gave me. Since the village chief took Mei Jing's piece of pork, he naturally had to take care of the matter for her. Thus, he came over early in the morning with a pen and paper.

He only had to wait for Mei Jing to nod before he could make a copy and have the workers outside print it on their hands.

Mei Jing picked up the paper and looked at it seriously while nodding her head.

Article 1: Instruments are valid for two years. During these two years, workers are not allowed to reveal sausage production techniques, including when returning to their parents' home, and are not allowed to secretly operate their own small workshop.

Number two: While working at Mei Jing's house, be careful not to speak of Mei Jing's family affairs.

When she saw the second one, Mei Jing almost couldn't help but clap.

The Village Head was indeed an intelligent person, he could even see people clearly.

Knowing that she and Madame Rong were living together was inconvenient in many ways, and she hated people who gossiped about it the most.

She was satisfied that this clause could be added to the document.

As for the rest, it only meant that Mei Jing had to pay her wages on time.

After Mei Jing finished reading, she felt that there was nothing to change. She looked at Soong Liangchen, What kind of treatment do you think we should give to the workers?

In two years' time, the sausage would earn her a lot of money. By then, it would be time to announce the way the sausage worked. Otherwise, it would be hated by others for hiding it for too long.

Unknowingly, Mei Jing had treated Soong Liangchen as her partner from the moment she put on the grass ring. She always wanted to discuss things with him.

Soong Liangchen lowered his head and thought, The salary is still the same as what you said, but don't count by the day to avoid people slacking off. So we calculate according to the number of sausages, each person daily distribution basket, daily let both sides on the scale. Every 5 kgs of sausage will be rewarded with a single cent, and at the same time, it will be recorded in both hands. In addition to the festival, people who keep working every day will be paid a full 30 cents bonus at the end of the month. The first three days will be spent and the later half a month will be settled. What do you think?"

Two meals a day should also be added. After all, the Mushroom, Winter Bamboo and Young Madame Liu are from the neighboring village. They have been delayed for too long, so they don't even have enough time to eat.

Yes. Soong Liangchen had no objection.

The workshop that Mei Jing wanted to open actually gave him some ideas.

Perhaps, Fierce Eagle Army could work with Mei Jing this one time …

CHAPTER 205 - WHAT A NAUGHTY GIRL

Mei Jing didn't know what Soong Liangchen was thinking. Since they had passed this treatment together, she would hand the document to the Village Head and let him add what he had just said to Soong Liangchen.

When the village chief read the documents to the female workers, they were all shocked!

They thought that having thirty gold coins a day was enough for them to come here.

But now, Mei Jing had told them that it wasn't just thirty coins, but more money?

Pork weighed a lot, and five catties of sausage was worth a penny, so fifty catties a day was worth ten catties, but what about two hundred catties, three hundred catties, or more? Not to mention that as long as he got to work on time, he would be able to get an extra 30 coins at the end of the month.

How could they not sign such a document? Even though two years was a bit too long, they still had a guarantee. Even if the sausage was not easy to sell, they still had a guarantee.

Mei Jing heaved a sigh of relief when the recruitment was completed.

The source of the pork was Cao Mang.

Lin Shuangshuang was responsible for the sausage after it was cooked.

As for the Meihua Oil, now that she had the help of Fan Tiankun and his two brothers, she was not worried.

At this moment, Soong Liangchen suddenly came over and said with a huge mouth full of white teeth, Girl, there's something I need to discuss with you …

Mei Jing didn't know why, but she felt her heart ache. Now that she saw Soong Liangchen's malicious attitude, she immediately rolled her eyes, If there's anything to discuss, we can talk about it tomorrow. I'm not feeling well, so I'm going back to my room.

After saying that, he walked into the room and gave Soong Liangchen a close door.

The man rubbed his nose awkwardly. He hadn't said what was wrong with him, why did he refuse so straightforwardly?

Sigh! She was indeed a heartless girl. What did she mean by unload and kill donkey?!

After Mei Jing returned to her room, she actually didn't feel too good about it.

She could only feel waves of pain and heat coming from her chest.

Sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

Song …

She wanted to call Soong Liangchen.

But the moment he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a word.

She thought of the mysterious man in the mist and said he had poisoned her.

Mei Jing didn't believe it at first, but now she did.

Bang ~ ~ ~

Mei Jing fell to the ground and tried to crawl out of the door.

Soong Liangchen couldn't enter as he just locked the door when he came in.

But before she reached the door, Mei Jing could not bear the searing pain.

His vision turned dark and he fainted.

On the other side, a man playing with a paper walnut looked at the squirming little white insect in the clear glass jar. The tip of its tail had already been dyed with a rainbow color.

He pursed his lips. Such a naughty little girl. Sure enough, I have to punish her before I know where to find motivation …

If Mei Jing was here, she would have been able to recognize him. This was the mysterious man in the fog. She could also tell from this bug that she had been infected with a Gu poison!

At this moment, in Mei Jing's home, Soong Liangchen was fully prepared to return to Ten Li Pass to inspect the spoils of the bandits this time. However, when he walked out of the house, he couldn't help but look towards the room Mei Jing was in.

Little girl! I am back at the Ten Li Pass. " The man's low and sexy voice sounded through the door, but there was no response.

The premonition in Soong Liangchen's heart became more and more ominous. In the past, no matter how haughty and cute Mei Jing was, she would still make a sound. But now, there was no sound at all?

Could it be that something could happen to Mei Jing at home?

The foreboding feeling in his heart was like a dark cloud, making him depressed. Soong Liangchen didn't even think as he spread his legs and used his inner force to kick towards Mei Jing's door …

CHAPTER 206 - TOXICOSIS

When Soong Liangchen saw Mei Jing lying motionlessly on the ground, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He quickly rushed forward and hugged the girl tightly. Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed onto the middle of Mei Jing's body.

Ugh …

Mei Jing finally felt it!

This made Soong Liangchen extremely happy!

But before she could ask any more questions, Mei Jing had already furrowed her brows in pain. She held Soong Liangchen's clothes tightly and kept drilling into his chest. It's cold … I'm so cold …

Cold?

It was April now, and even if there was a slight spring breeze, it wouldn't be so cold.

Thinking like this, Soong Liangchen hugged Mei Jing tightly, trying to warm Mei Jing with his body temperature while at the same time looking at Mei Jing's pale face. Was she sick?

This little girl usually didn't pay attention to her own body. In order to make money, she could even do things like going up and down the mountain. She was so unruly that she didn't seem like a girl at all.

Little girl! Don't be afraid! I am here! " Soong Liangchen hugged Mei Jing even more tightly.

Perhaps because she heard the man's low voice, Mei Jing leaned close to him and said, I'm so painful, so cold … I, I've been poisoned …

It was like the torture of ice and fire, making her whole body feel uncomfortable, her bones felt like they were about to be burnt to pieces. Right now, she wanted to fall into Soong Liangchen's arms, relying on the man's
