CHAPTER 110: CHAPTER 110: HIRING ANOTHER EMPLOYEE

After all, this stuff isn’t particularly clean, and nowadays, the weather is quite hot.

If, by chance, the vegetable soup goes bad, leaving it in the food container will also produce a smell.

Not to mention, it’s easy to breed bacteria. If there are bacteria, even if it’s been cleaned properly, you’ll feel quite uncomfortable using the food container again.

Jiang Xin thought about this and didn’t hesitate any longer. She quickly packed up the food container and handed it to Lin Ye, asking him to find a place to wash it.

But once she thought of it, Jiang Xin suddenly realized she hadn’t noticed a place where the container could be washed, so she asked:

"Where are you going to wash the food container? It seems there isn’t a place with a faucet nearby."

"If we use someone else’s place to wash the container, we don’t know if they’ll mind, after all, the water bill does cost money."

When Jiang Xin thinks about things, she tends to be meticulous, so she considers more possibilities.

She immediately thought that the water bill would cost money.

If Lin Ye borrows a faucet, maybe the owner would be concerned about the water fee, so they might not easily allow borrowing.

If it’s because of this that they’re eventually refused, how embarrassing would that be?

Lin Ye clearly knew this too, so he replied after hearing Jiang Xin’s question:

"Indeed, there’s no faucet nearby, so I’m thinking of finding a shop to see if the owner would allow me to wash the container there, which would be great if possible."

Lin Ye thought, if no one was willing to lend a faucet, he’d wash it by the nearby river.

Anyway, getting the vegetable soup cleaned out is a priority, otherwise by the time they get home in the afternoon, the soup would likely smell bad.

This aspect, evidently, was agreed upon by both Lin Ye and Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin, as a person, doesn’t like taking advantage of small matters, even though washing a container isn’t a big deal.

But she decided to take out one yuan from her bag and handed it to Lin Ye, saying:

"How about I give you one yuan, if you use a shop’s faucet to wash the food container, you can give them this money."

"That way, it will be more convenient if you go again in the future."

Jiang Xin thought, the tap water fee these days probably isn’t too expensive, giving one yuan might even make the owner jump with joy.

Perhaps this one yuan would cover the shop’s water bill for a full half month.

Lin Ye hesitated for a moment, thinking of saying it’s unnecessary since washing a container is such a small matter, probably no one would refuse.

But after all, this was Jiang Xin’s suggestion.

Jiang Xin is his boss, so logically, he couldn’t refuse this suggestion.

So Lin Ye directly put the one yuan she handed over into his pocket.

Then, Lin Ye nodded, carrying both of their food containers out of the market to find a place to wash them. Before leaving, he reminded Jiang Xin:

"I’ll be right back, I’ll try to speed up."

Lin Ye understood clearly that Jiang Xin hired him to help at the market stand because she didn’t like displaying herself in the market.

After all, she’s a young girl and feels embarrassed to be openly seen in the market.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t spend so much money to hire someone.

So even if it was for a legitimate reason like washing the container, he couldn’t delay too long and leave the boss at the stall, what kind of business would that be?

Also, when receiving the one yuan from Jiang Xin.

Lin Ye almost blurted out that he had money in his pocket, it’s the money earned from sales this morning, all in his pocket.

He had just been focused on eating and forgot to hand over the money he made to Jiang Xin for safekeeping.

But Lin Ye reconsidered and swallowed his words.

Because Lin Ye thought, one thing at a time, after all the money he earned is accounted for.

Jiang Xin, being the boss, naturally knows how much she brought and how much could be earned today.

If he took one yuan out of this money beforehand, although it’s not a big deal and he could explain later, it would be more hassle when balancing the accounts at night. So Lin Ye decided not to mention it but just accept Jiang Xin’s money and focus on doing his task.

While Lin Ye was washing the container, Jiang Xin sat idly by, guarding the stall at the market.

She thought that at this hour, no one would come, all she needed was patience to wait for Lin Ye to return.

Jiang Xin looked around idly, thinking that in this day and age, there aren’t smartphones to fiddle with during boredom.

So now, the only thing to pass the time was watching the crowd.

But in this market, everyone is bustling and weary from making a living, they don’t have time to chat idly.

Jiang Xin observed her neighboring vendors, all busy organizing their things.

Sorting merchandise disturbed by customers during sales.

Seeing this, Jiang Xin glanced at their stalls, noticing that the items were neatly placed. Clearly, Lin Ye had organized things while selling, which is why it’s so tidy and not a mess.

Jiang Xin felt very satisfied with Lin Ye as an employee.

She even felt hiring Lin Ye was indeed her good fortune.

At month-end, if business goes well, she’d consider giving him a raise.

Suddenly, Jiang Xin slapped her forehead, realizing she forgot the most important thing.

Last night, while lying in bed, she was thinking if she saw Lin Ye today, she would ask him if he knows any friends looking for work, because she wants to hire another employee.

This whole morning, she was so busy, she almost forgot to say it, almost forgot the most important matter.

She mentally reminded herself to remember to mention this when Lin Ye returns.
