Chapter 1091 - 1091: A Vacancy?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After arriving at Pingan Town, she found another inn and asked for the cheapest room to stay in.

Since it was still early, she left the inn and went to Xue’s Rice Noodles to scout.

Since she was already here, she might as well figure everything out.

Besides, eating a bowl of rice noodles didn’t sound like a bad idea either.

When she asked around in the county, she heard that Xue’s noodles were excellent.

However, when she arrived at the entrance of Xue’s Rice Noodles, she saw that the shopkeeper was smiling at a young man with pockmarks on his face and was dressed in coarse clothes. “Our shop doesn’t need people for the time being. Actually… There is a vacancy, which is to follow our boss when he’s on the job. Basically, you’ll be his assistant. However, this vacancy not only needs you to be clever, but you’ll need to know how to read, ride a horse, and drive a carriage. Since you can’t read, nor can you ride a horse or drive a carriage. I’m sorry but I’ll have to reject your request.”

The man was still very cheerful. “It’s fine, I understand. Well then, if your shop needs someone like me in the future, please let me know. I don’t live far away.”

“Alright, don’t worry. It’s not like we’re strangers too.” Shopkeeper Qiao agreed readily.

“Thank you, Shopkeeper Obo. Shopkeeper Qiao, please continue with your work. I’ll be leaving first. You don’t have to send me off. You’re too polite.” After saying that, the young man quickly left.

Once Shopkeeper Qiao saw that the person had left, he started to work on the finances again, managing the accounts.

He didn’t notice Princess Jin standing outside.

Princess Jin, on the other hand, had an idea when she thought about what Shopkeeper Qiao had said just now. The boss that Shopkeeper Qiao was talking about should be Xue Sifu.

Xue Sifu needed a servant to serve him… Perhaps she could give it a try.

Princess Jin walked in and came to the counter. “You’re Shopkeeper Qiao, right? Greetings. Just now, I overheard what you said to that man. Do you need someone who can ride a horse, drive a carriage, and read?”

“Yes, I am. Do you know how to ride a horse and a carriage? And can you read?” Shopkeeper Qiao sized up the person in front of him. He felt that apart from the fact that the person in front of him was a little slender, he looked quite smart.

His eyes were especially bright.

He gave off a very energetic feeling at first glance.

“l can. Previously, I was hired to manage horses. After a long time, I learned how to ride a horse and drive a carriage. When the young master of that family learned to read, he always asked me to serve him by his side, so I picked up quite a few words. If you think it’s okay, how about hiring me?”

“If you really know how to do it, then I’ll consider it.” Shopkeeper Qiao was quite satisfied with the person in front of him. “But based on your accent, you must be a foreigner, right?”

“Yes, it’s my first time in your town.” After saying this, Princess Jin began to lie. She told them where her hometown was and that there was a flood in her hometown. The family she was working for was flooded. Fortunately, everyone was fine. They didn’t have any money left, so they couldn’t hire her to continue working. She followed some people who had their houses destroyed by the flood to make a living. Then, she ended up here.

Princess Jin wasn’t lying. The hometown she mentioned had a flood last year, which destroyed many houses, especially the houses of farmers..
