Chapter 248: Do You Think I Can Ascend to the Heavens? (3)_1
Pei Qin frowned in refusal, "He wants to cram into a room with me!"
Feng Bo opened his mouth, "Wendong isn’t that young anymore, how come he’s still... cramming into a room with you..."
"He’s just a few years old, a little kid!" Pei Qin said and then went off to get busy.
Feng Bo had no choice but to rent a room near their house to live in, which was convenient because of its proximity; even if they didn’t live together, being close made it easier to join them for meals.
However, in the entire east half of Taiping Town, he searched everywhere and could not find a single room for rent. With no other options, he had to look to the west and finally rented a room on the South Bank of the Bear River, where there were places open early for breakfast and tea.
In the noodle shop, Pei Qin also hired Lady Zhao, Sun Dashun’s eldest daughter-in-law, to do odd jobs and clear bowls.
When Feng Bo came over, he only helped out with odd jobs and attracting customers.
That was because Pei Qin had implemented a self-service system in the noodle shop: after paying, customers would take a number; once the noodles were ready, their number would be called, and they would carry their own food to find a place to sit and eat.
In fact, one person cleaning up bowls and wiping tables outside was enough. In the kitchen, noodles were prepared in advance; once cooked and scooped out, they were topped with various favorite sauces and set on the counter; customers would serve themselves, which even eliminated the need for a server.
After a day’s work, Feng Bo felt that he was pretty useless in the noodle shop. He couldn’t bring himself to do menial work like clearing bowls and wiping tables; the kitchen didn’t need him, and handling the money and keeping accounts had been passed on to Pei Qian.
