Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 131
"Five taels?" The wealthy daughter-in-law's eyes were as big as bells, "What are you doing? Cooking, quick hands and feet? Could you be a cook? Sister-in-law, do you want to open a restaurant? Okay, okay, no problem, I can handle it. Come here." This family has too much money and doesn't understand the market, right?The husband-in-law of one of her cousins ​​works as a waiter in a restaurant. I heard that the best cook in the restaurant only earns two taels of silver a month, right?No matter what, she said it was five taels from the beginning. Even if they knew the market and wanted to change it, she wouldn't obey.

Ruxia couldn't help but roll her eyes, restaurant chef?This woman really dares to think!With her level and knowledge, she has never seen many ingredients before, right?Let alone doing it.Speaking of which, she worked as a cook for the Yin family, so she was afraid that people would look down upon her, but she also worked as a chef in a restaurant?Just making a few simple banquets in the village is pretty good, and it's just enough to deal with rough people's mouths.

Thinking of this, Ru Xia became depressed. Ever since she left Meizhuang, the food, clothing and necessities were not as good as before. Although she was a maid in the past, she could only do light work, or just use her mouth to order the maid.Nowadays, I have to do everything by myself, and my parents force me to do purse embroidery in exchange for money.Fortunately, she is already 17 years old, and her conditions are among the best in Niujia Village and several nearby villages. Her reputation is better than that of girls from several landlord families. Her parents still expect her to be married into an official family as a concubine. In order to help my younger brothers in the future, I gritted my teeth and bought a rough lady, instead of letting her do rough work like washing and cooking, so as to keep her hands white and tender.

Despite this, Ru Xia still felt extremely aggrieved. Especially today when she saw Ru Qiu taking charge of the household in the Hou Mansion, she was both envious and unwilling. A few months later, Ru Qiu Ruo gave birth to the eldest son of Lord Qingyuan. , the status will be more stable, and it is not impossible to be promoted to a noble concubine.

No, Ru Xia clenched her fist. Even if she couldn't marry a marquis, she couldn't marry her too much, right?This time, her father was appointed to be in charge of Wen University. If things were done well, he might be promoted by that noble man in Beijing. I heard that the noble man was succeeded by a prince.The chance of getting close to the prince is, well, smaller, but that noble man and the powerful ministers around the prince are all opportunities...

Yes, yes, dad's affairs are important. Whether it is making money or her future marriage, it all depends on whether dad can satisfy Wen Da's management and even those in Beijing this time.

Ru Xia quickly came back to her senses: "Of course I didn't go to the restaurant to do it. Auntie doesn't know, so I can go and find out. How can a restaurant cook get such a high monthly salary?"

It turns out that everyone knows the market. The wealthy daughter-in-law said "hehe" in a coquettish way: "That's it, that's it. Niece, please tell me quickly. What do you want us to do? How long can we do it?" It's to be a cook anyway. If you can get 5 taels of silver, what does it matter where you do it?How great it is to be a cook. You can save money on food for the whole family and still eat good food.

Niu San's daughter-in-law quickly grabbed Ru Xia who was about to speak again, and said to the rich and noble daughter-in-law who couldn't wait: "What are you in a hurry for? Let's talk after we go in."

"Yes, yes, yes, go in and say it, go in and say it." The rich daughter-in-law suddenly realized, whose family's wealth is not covered up, how can it be said outside?What should I do if someone listens to me?
Zhang Fugui returned to Quling County with his two sons today. Chunhua Qiuyue was still selling tofu outside at this time. The rich wife quickly closed the courtyard door, took Niu San's daughter-in-law and Ruxia to her house, and locked them up. They talk about their secret ways of making money.

The thing is this: a wealthy businessman from out of town has taken a fancy to Etou Mountain in the southern suburbs of Los Angeles, and plans to buy it and build a villa. There will be many people living on the mountain by then, and Zhang Fugui's family used to be responsible for everyone's food problems.

Niu San's daughter-in-law explained: "You are also lucky. The chief manager in charge of building the villa happens to have an old relationship with the head of our house. He also said that we need someone who is knowledgeable, strict-tongued and good at cooking. Didn't the head of the house immediately think of your family? He also said When the time comes, you can make the tofu, soy milk, etc. you need on the mountain, and you’ll have to pay for them.”

so good?The rich daughter-in-law's eyes rolled: "Then we will be responsible for the purchase of other meat, vegetables, etc.?"

Ruxia curled her lips: "Auntie, you are really big-hearted! You have never done any shopping, so what do you know? You can't even read a ledger, can you keep accounts? Even if you want to do it, the management of Wenda University will not believe you. Ah. All the shopping on the mountain is given to my mother, so my parents can give you a hand and let you be in charge of the kitchen and supply tofu. Yes, Mrs. Feng is not here now, so it costs a lot of money to hire a helper. If you are responsible for yourselves, you must also be reliable and speak strictly." Niu San's daughter-in-law nodded and said seriously: "It is very important to speak strictly, including your family. You can't pry around in the mountains. Everything you see and hear will be rotten in your heart. , cannot be spread outside. The owner of the villa has a very good background. If you want people like us to disappear, it would be easier than squeezing an ant to death. Sister, you have to think clearly about whether you want to go or not. They pay such a high monthly fee. They also provide food and accommodation, so the requirements are naturally very strict. I want to make this clear to you, so as not to blame Niu San and me in the future."

When the wealthy daughter-in-law heard the words "It's easier than squeezing an ant to death", she couldn't help but shuddered, but she quickly came back to her senses and said, "I know, I know, sister-in-law, don't worry, our family is the strictest. Also, "We don't need help. I taught Chunhua's craftsmanship step by step, and she is no worse than Mrs. Feng. Chunhua and Qiuyue help me." The joke is that the family does not need to pay for food and accommodation, and they earn a net income of five taels per month. Money, yes, and money for selling tofu, where can I find such a good thing?Isn’t it better to talk less and inquire less?Naturally, they dare not mess with those wealthy families.Anyway, aren't Niu San and his wife also working on the mountain?They follow behind and do it, just be careful, what's the difficulty?
"That's good," Niu San's daughter-in-law nodded, "When Fugui comes back, you can discuss it again and make up your mind to ask your eldest nephew to come to my house to give you a confirmation. A carriage will pick you up in ten days. Let's go first Let’s go, Niu San, Jiahe and I will be on the mountain when the time comes, so we need to be well prepared.”

"Hey, eh, no problem," the wealthy daughter-in-law said happily from ear to ear, "Don't worry, sister-in-law." After thinking about it, she decided to take over the niece whose parents had died and take her to the mountains to do odd jobs. Qiuyue should be taken care of as well as Ruxia.

After leaving the Zhang family courtyard, Ruxia asked her mother in a low voice: "Mother, do you want to stop thinking about Ruqiu's proposal?"

Niu San's wife frowned: "Silly girl, why are you still thinking about this? You two grew up together, don't you know if Rudong can make those novel snacks? And that girl Rudong has been a deadbeat since she was a child. Mind-eye, do you think she will betray the eldest girl? Dani, the eldest girl is very thoughtful now. Prince Jing and the iron escort head are backing her in the capital, and there is also the prefect in front of her to support her. Even Mrs. Qingyuanhou They have all been sent to the family temple, do you still dare to believe Ruqiu's words? If she was really sure, she would have contacted Rudong long ago. Their Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is no more prestigious than our family? Dani, you must remember what your mother said. , Ruqiu has always been very thoughtful, it’s okay to keep in touch with her, but don’t let her use you as a raft.”

After Ruxia heard her mother's analysis, although she was a little unconvinced, she still figured it out: "Okay, mother, I will reply to her then and say that you and dad are going out on business, and I have to take care of Bao'er. We are short." I don’t have the energy to run a dim sum shop during the time.”

Niu San's daughter-in-law nodded: "Yeah, that's it. That Ruqiu is also big-hearted and won't stop even though she is holding her belly. If she does business again, can she do better than the eldest daughter of the Xu family? She is the head wife and the wife-in-waiting, and she has With her mother's money and rich dowry, what can she compare with? It is only proper to raise a child well and give birth to the eldest son."

Ruxia smiled and said: "Ruqiu said that she had asked the doctor to take a look. This baby must be a son, but mother, it is fortunate that the Marquis is marrying a merchant girl. If it is an official girl, I am afraid that Ruqiu's belly will not be tolerated. Here this son comes to earth."

Niu San's daughter-in-law snorted: "The reputation of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is so good that it is almost said to be ruined in Beijing. It's not easy to marry a girl from an official family. Only here in Luo City, it is still possible." Be a little prouder."

Isn't it?Ru Xia's mood immediately improved a lot. She felt really uncomfortable looking at Ru Qiu's appearance today, and when she was leaving the house, Qiu Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Hou family, said, "She is also Yin Zhiruo's maid!"
