Fair Lady

With Uncle Kui, the top housekeeper inside and outside, not only the manpower arrangement and the formulation of the rules in the summer house were quickly implemented, but even the preparatory work for the Xiajia tofu workshop and shops was speeded up in an orderly manner.

Uncle Kui also recommended two people with management experience to be the second housekeepers, one to assist him in managing the affairs of the mansion, and the other mainly for the outside world. There are also temporary stewards for various matters such as nursing home, purchasing, kitchen, house maintenance and cleaning, etc. Shujie agreed.

Ms. Liu sighed with emotion, but her girl has good eyesight. She and her aunt almost missed such a capable and willing person because of prejudice.

As Uncle Kui himself said, he is really not a person who does not know what is good or bad. Except for the "crazy" request at the beginning, he has never had any arrogant words and deeds, not to mention Jin Xida and Shujie, but to the young Shuyao and Shuwen are always respectful and respectful, not daring to slack off in the slightest.The big housekeeper is like this, and the people below dare not take any chances.

Xia Zhai's accountant is in place, and she is also an official slave, or a female accountant, known as Jinniang.

Jinniang was originally a daughter of an imperial merchant. Her father was involved in the storm before the emperor ascended the throne, and died in the chaos.After the wind stopped and the rain stopped and the dust settled, their house was ransacked, and everyone from the master to the servants became official slaves.Jinniang was bought by the family of a fourth-rank official, who fell in love with Jinniang's beauty.

Jinniang didn't want to be treated as a plaything, she self-destructed, she drew a terrible scar on her face, and claimed that she was good at accounts and business management, and she had helped her father with accounts before.He also took care of more than a dozen shops, and begged the official to let him be an accountant who didn't leave the house.

The official didn't know if he was overwhelmed by Jinniang's ruthlessness, or if he really needed to take care of the accounts, or if he suddenly showed kindness and really stopped touching Jinniang, and didn't sell her, but let her do the accounts. Mr. Fang.

Jinniang did have the talent in this area, she ruined her appearance and never thought of marrying, and gradually became the most trusted accountant of that official.

three months ago.The official died, and the old lady and the wife in charge had already taken a serious look at Jinniang, who was not pleasing to the eye. They sold Jinniang the next day and replaced it with their own people.

But in most mansions there are male tents, not to mention that this female tent has a hideous scar on her face?Jin Niang can only be sold as a rough envoy.

Whether it's Mama Liu or Uncle Kui, they interrogated the buyer very carefully.Even the rough envoy is no exception. After hearing Jinniang's experience, Shuyao didn't hesitate for a moment: "It's a waste of your talent to be a rough envoy, and you must be unqualified for rough work. You should pay back the debt." Room."

Jin Niang was very grateful to this little master who looked at her terrifying face as if nothing had happened, and had no abnormal expression, but the silence and indifference in the past 20 years made her no longer know how to express her feelings.

but.Jinniang knew that the owner's tofu shop was about to open, so she not only proposed a lot of plans for accounting.He also gave Uncle Kui a lot of suggestions, which made Uncle Kui very happy, and told Jin Xida and Shujie truthfully.Jin Xida laughed and said: "Not only Huo Huo can dig treasures, but our Yao'er is also a master of treasure hunting, we can always see jade stones covered in dust, haha, we have sharp eyes."

Everyone in the Xia residence is busy.Jin Xida would go out after breakfast every day and would not come back until dinner.This was the result of Shuyao's "threatening" him that the whole family would wait for him to eat, and if they couldn't make it back in time, they would let people go back to the house to say something.

Seeing Jin Xida's "showing off his face" several times in a row, full of complaints, but clearly happy to rush back to the mansion, the emperor couldn't help becoming unbalanced again: "Why doesn't anyone wait for me to eat every day?" Dafu The father-in-law was hanging his head on the side, and the corners of his mouth twitched: Then you need to tell the old man which palace you plan to eat in first, right?

Shujie was busy preparing for the literary and martial arts exams. Except for the "family gathering" time before and after dinner, where they would discuss the affairs of the house or listen to Uncle Kui's report on work together, Xia Ruoyun and Liu's mother strictly prohibited anyone from disturbing Shujie at other times. Jay's.Even the little brother Chen knows that only before and after dinner can he ask his big cousin to lift him up, or play with him for a while.

The servants who passed by Eldest Young Master's Sunshine Garden wanted to hold their breath and dare not make a sound. After all, the master has become brilliant, so they can live better together, right?They are all members of the Xia family now.

Shuwen is "the most" busy. He has to practice martial arts, go to school, and be the little master of Zhang Xu and Xiaowu. Now he has a new course: learning accounting.

Shuwen liked arithmetic since he was a child. Since Jinniang came, he went to see Jinniang a few times to handle the accounts and asked a lot of questions. Xiutao, the two of them ran to Jinniang's tent every day.Jinniang's face is indifferent, but she actually likes children very much. It's just that other children cry when they see her, or call her a "monster". Getting closer, her icy facial expression melted away, and she slowly began to remember what it was like to smile.

Shuyao's life is the most regular, still the same as in Yulin Town, reading books, practicing calligraphy, painting, embroidery, practicing "flying swallows stepping on lotus", practicing flying needles, making some snacks in her free time, which is fulfilling and comfortable.

She has already discussed with her adoptive father and elder brother that after the business of the tofu shop is opened and stabilized, she plans to open another dim sum shop so that everyone can taste mother's delicious dim sum.The name of the shop is well thought out, and it is called "Qiaoweiju", which is thoughtful and delicious.

Xiajia Tofu Square also has an official name: Mi Xue Tofu Square.

The name came from Shuwen, and when asked what it meant, he scratched his head: "Hehe, it smells like rice and is as white as snow. My mother said that white rice is the most nourishing."

Everyone fainted, the taste of tofu is completely different from the taste of white rice, okay?However, everyone came up with a lot of names, read them over and over again, and finally felt that "Michelle Tofu" was the most fluent. Well, no matter what the meaning was, I was too lazy to use my brain again, so everyone agreed on "Michelle Tofu".

In mid-November, Xia's tofu shop and two tofu shops opened at the same time, and the two shops were near Zhuque Street and Shangguan Street respectively.On the same day, Xiajia Tofu Square and two shops in Yulin Town also put up a brand new signboard "Mi Xue Tofu".

Same as in Yulin Town.In order not to seize the main market of other tofu shops, the prices of tofu products and other complementary foods sold in Michelle Tofu shops are higher than the average market price.The difference is that in Yunlin it is [-]% higher, but in Beijing it is [-]% higher, because there are many rich and noble people in the capital, and all kinds of expenses are generally high.

Even so, the people in the tofu workshop and shop are still busy without touching the ground, especially the people in the tofu workshop can only be divided into two groups to work in rotation.

Other tofu shops are usually busy in the early morning, and then sell for a whole day.Michelle Tofu Square has to do it twice a day.In addition to supplying the stores on both sides, there are also pre-orders for those big families with a large population and high demand in the mansion.In addition, the "Shi Zhen Zhai" Herbal Food Pavilion also sends some tofu brains and soy milk to the past every day. Everyone knows that Xia Zhai also has a part in "Shi Zhen Zhai".

Of course, go to "Shizhenzhai" to eat Michelle tofu brain and soy milk.The price is several times more expensive, but the tofu nao and soy milk here are added with nourishing ingredients such as red dates, wolfberries, plum blossoms, and black beans, and the effect is better.Therefore, there are still many people who eat, and they often can't eat when they come late. The most indispensable thing in the capital is the rich.

The idea of ​​adding these things to soy milk is not worth the money.You can eat the ingredients in one bite, because you can only add one or two auxiliary ingredients at most.For example, red dates, wolfberry soymilk, plum blossom soymilk, black sesame and black bean soymilk... Otherwise, the taste will be mixed, and you don’t need to care about the ratio of ingredients like other medicinal diets.

The problem is that there are also people in their own mansion who ask their servants to do the same. The taste is not as good as Michelle Soy Milk and Tofu Nao, and they don't feel that way when they eat it.

A few days after the opening of Michelle Tofu Square, the Beijing branch of "Yunxuan" also opened, and the location of the store is naturally the best store on Xilai Street.

On the opening day of "Yunxuan", Zhao Yufa stood behind the audience.Take a look at the grand opening of Yunxuan, and then look at its own "Magnificent Pavilion" at the end of the street.He couldn't hide the hatred in his eyes.He plotted for several years, but finally he failed to count Zhang Caishu, instead he gave the Zhang family a chance to make friends with King Jing for nothing, can he not hate it?

More importantly, he spent a lot of energy and manpower, and hid a lot of people, but he never found out the secret of cultivating the "Eighteen Bachelors", and who is in charge of the monthly special care? ?Is it the person who saved Prince Jing's "spotted lips"?Zhao Yufa firmly believed that that person was definitely not Zhang Caishu.To defeat Zhang Caishu, he must find that master flower grower, and it would be best if he can dig it with a lot of money. If he can't, hum, even if he reluctantly gets rid of him, he won't be able to continue to serve Zhang Caishu.

At this time, in the "VIP Negotiation Room" in the backyard of "Yunxuan", Shuyao was listening to Princess Jing, Yao Xuelan, Xia Ruoyun, Mama Liu and several noble ladies gossiping.

A lady said mysteriously to Xia Ruoyun: "You don't know that your first sister, Mrs. Sima, has been confined by the Duke's Mansion for more than a month, right?"

Seeing Xia Ruoyun's surprised face, even Liu's mother raised her eyes inquiringly, and the lady became more energetic: "She attended some recent gatherings in previous years, but she didn't see any of them this year, saying she was ill. My family The cousin of a servant girl in the house happened to be working in the mansion of An Guogong. She said that when she returned home from your summer residence that day, Mrs. Sima was reprimanded by the Duke and Mrs. Guo, and then directly grounded. I am afraid I have to wait for them The second master of the Fu will let her out on the day when he marries his wife."

Mother Liu suddenly realized: "I said why I haven't seen her come to trouble our young master and girl recently. What is so serious that she has been grounded for so long?"

The lady giggled: "What else is there? It must be that the emperor didn't give them a post. The Duke's Mansion be careful that the emperor doesn't want to see them."

……

Back at the mansion at night, Shuyao told Jin Xida and Shujie about this, Jin Xida smiled: "As we expected. Well, after Shujie is on the list, someone in the Duke's Mansion will explain what happened that night one by one. The news spread, but it has nothing to do with us, we have done our best, and their own mansion is not strict, there is no way, hahaha."

Shuyao looked at the scheming father-in-law, and secretly slandered: "Just like the master, he is also someone who cannot be messed with, haha." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets , your support is my biggest motivation.)
