Need for money

Seeing that Tang Yuxiang was unwilling to let the Lin family intervene in the business, Zhidong expressed his thoughts. Tang Yuxiang nodded after hearing this, and finally had a smile on his face.

After finally getting out of the house, Tang Yuxiang's master and servant naturally would not give up this great opportunity. After arriving on the bustling street, they parked the carriage in the compound of an industry run by the Lin family and walked on foot. Since Zhidong signed the deed of selling himself and became a servant, he has never been so free. The two little girls played on a whim, abandoned their master, ran east, looked west, and after a while, their hands were full of little girls accessories.

The money was given to them by Tang Yuxiang.

Looking at the crazy looks of the two little girls, Tang Yuxiang was envious for a while. She could be a wild girl like this in the past, but now, she has no chance.

Don't talk about being crazy now, just walk a little faster, and there are servants to remind her that she dare not not listen to the words of these women who are following her, otherwise it will definitely reach the ears of Mrs. Lin, which is not good There is a way.

Zhidong and Zhiqiu ran and danced for a while, their enthusiasm diminished a little, and they ran back with presents in their hands, showing off in front of their master, including red bracelets, pendants made of stone, green cloth flowers, golden There are dozens of small bells.

Tang Yuxiang pinched the pink and tender faces of the two little maids, and said angrily: "If I knew you were so good at spending money, I wouldn't reward you, and I don't know how to save it, and use it as a dowry in the future."

The faces of the two little girls didn't know whether they were pinched or burnt from embarrassment, and a few red clouds floated up in a flash, and they quarreled with the master in a hurry. The three masters and servants laughed for a while before getting down to business , Next, the three of them specifically chose pharmacies to enter. Firstly, they asked about the price of medicines in the city, so that they had an idea in mind. Otherwise, it would be faster and less troublesome. Otherwise, it would take more than ten days just to tidy up the storefront and find a carpenter to order medicine cabinets, tables, chairs, counters and so on.

Los Angeles is rich, and there are many pharmacies, but most of them are well-run, and no one is willing to set up shop, so Tang Yuxiang can only lead a large group of servants, one by one, to search patiently.

It was almost noon, and Zhiqiu and Zhidong were already thirsty and tired, but Tang Yuxiang was still full of energy. She was born as a commoner. When she was a doctor in the countryside, she would walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to treat patients After seeing a doctor and searching three or four more stores, Tang Yuxiang discovered that all the servants beside him were sweating profusely and looked weak.

Sighing softly, she had no choice but to stop, planning to find a restaurant first, and then talk when she was full.

Before going out, the big housekeeper sent someone to send 50 taels of silver, saying that it was lunch money and shopping expenses, so Tang Yuxiang was not petty, and directly picked a good-looking restaurant and walked in.

Seeing that Tang Yuxiang was followed by a large group of servants, the waiter didn't dare to take it easy, and he was still far away, so he ran out of the store to greet him, with flattering smiles all over his face. Don't dare to make a mistake, or you will accidentally touch other people's taboos, and you can't eat and walk around.

Entering the restaurant, Tang Yuxiang directly went up to the second floor. Most of the servants stopped consciously, found a seat at random and sat down. It is normal for the master to eat on the second floor. The two guards looked at each other, and the captain picked three of them to follow up to protect the master, and the rest stayed on the first floor for dinner.

Tang Yuxiang's status is different now, so she can't dine in the hall, or if it spreads out, it will hurt the family. She and Zhidong Zhiqiu picked a box and went straight in. This box is next to the window, and the window is hung with bamboo Weaving it into a bamboo curtain, you can see the outside from the inside, but you can’t see the inside clearly from the outside, which is just suitable for wealthy women to be alone.

"Ma'am, what would you like to eat?" Xiao Er lowered his head all the way, kept a certain distance, followed closely, and asked cautiously.

Different people have different tempers, some like to introduce more delicious food as soon as the mistress comes up, while some people hate the mistress who is talkative, as if she has never seen the world, so the mistress said After finishing, he quickly raised his head and glanced at Tang Yuxiang.

Seeing that Tang Yuxiang frowned instinctively, as if he had never been here for dinner, he introduced again, "The few side dishes that this small shop is good at include fried fish fillets, shredded money, diced chicken with peach kernels, and steamed meals. Fish, fried chicken, braised fish bones, do you think you can have a plate of each?"

Tang Yuxiang didn't speak, and Xiaoer said again: "In addition to the dishes, the store also has a few delicious desserts, including lotus rolls, three-color cakes, bean paste cold cakes, and jujube cakes. Do you think it suits your taste?"

In fact, Tang Yuxiang himself is not picky about food, but it is rare to come out, and there are two little girls with him, so he intends to order a few more dishes to satisfy the appetite of the people around him, and said: "Take the few dishes you mentioned earlier Serve a plate of each type, and a small plate of each dessert."

"Yes!" Xiao Er replied and was about to retreat, but Tang Yuxiang thought that there were still many servants by her side today, so she ordered: "There are also my servants, who should also be taken care of. There is meat and wine, don't be negligent!"

"Please don't worry, the little ones will definitely serve them enough to eat and drink." Xiao Er repeatedly nodded his head to reassure, before retreating.

As soon as Xiao Er left, the captain of the guard led three guards and stood in front of the door and knocked on the door, "Second Mistress, Xiao Er is standing guard at the door, just give orders if you have anything to do."

Tang Yuxiang couldn't bear to hear the words. After all, these guards were tired for a long time, so she said: "No need, you can sit next door and eat. If you want to eat, ask Xiao Er to order it yourself."

"Thank you, Second Grandma!" The captain of the guard responded, and led the three men into the next box.

After beating the guards, Tang Yuxiang was a little worried. If he couldn't find a suitable store in the afternoon, it would be troublesome. After all, the Lin family didn't come out just because they thought about it, and Zhiqiu and Zhidong entered this store for the first time. Eating in a big restaurant seemed extremely exciting.

"Zhidong, do you think the specialty dishes of this restaurant are really delicious?" Have a meal in a restaurant.

Zhidong also felt the same, she nodded first, then shook her head, and replied: "The taste should not be bad, but in my opinion, the food made by Second Grandma is delicious."

Hearing this, Zhiqiu took it for granted, the food cooked by his master was absolutely delicious, and he could definitely be a master chef, but even if the food here tasted bad, he would still be happy eating, because what he eats here is not food, but status status.

Tang Yuxiang was dissatisfied with the two little girls standing behind them and muttering, so she asked them to sit down too. Zhiqiu and Zhidong didn't dare at first, but seeing their master insisted, they had to carefully rub their buttocks.

Sitting at the same table with the master is a big taboo, but the master is easy to talk, and the two little maids are not too scared, but a wave of excitement rose in their hearts, and their little faces flushed red.

What an honor it is for them to have the opportunity to sit at the same table with their master!

As soon as Tang Yuxiang saw the appearance of the two little girls, Tang Yuxiang knew that they couldn't help her for the time being. When she was bored, she shifted her gaze to the window on one side. …

Not far from the restaurant, there was a pharmacy. There were many ragged people lined up in front of the door, slowly moving forward. Among these people, there were adults, children, and many old people in scanty clothes. , looking, all of them are yellow and thin, with dull eyes, it is quite desolate!
