Fair Lady

"Two years of one night, two days at five o'clock", Dazhou has the custom of staying up all night on New Year's Eve, which means getting rid of the old and ushering in the new, driving away evil spirits, and welcoming hope.

Shuyao and Shuwen also wanted to watch the new year in previous years, but they fell asleep before they were born, and then they were carried to the bed by Shujie to sleep soundly. Shujie would also press two big red envelopes under their pillows.

This year, I don't know if it was because they came back late from the palace, and there were still many things to ask and talk about, the two siblings unexpectedly kept watch all night with great interest.

Xiutao, Tianen, Uncle Kui, Jinniang, Uncle Qiang, and Aunt Qiang all watched the New Year with them in the main courtyard hall, listening to anecdotes about the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace.Of course, what they are most interested in is the "farce" of Jujiu Palace and the "tragedy" of Murong's family described by Mama Liu.

Uncle Qiang squinted his eyes contentedly, and raised his wine glass to the sky: "Evil will be rewarded with evil, God finally opened his eyes, come, have a drink." Everyone laughed, Aunt Qiang snatched the glass from Uncle Qiang's hand and scolded with a smile: "Master The girls are here, so don't make a fool of yourself by urinating on cats."

Uncle Qiang rolled his eyes at his wife: "How can it be? Am I such a ignorant person? Cheng Jin has already replaced the wine in this cup with hangover soup, and I have to go to the tofu shop to see it later. How can I do it?" Drunk?"

Shujie said with a smile: "Uncle Qiang has worked hard, and there is no rest on the first day of the new year."

Aunt Qiang curled her lips: "Where is he working so hard? He is as happy as a mouse falling into a rice bowl."

Uncle Qiang was not annoyed either, he laughed and said: "Thanks to the young master and the girl, the servant is really like a mouse falling into the rice bowl now. Don't mention me, who in the tofu shop is not always cheerful and energetic? Who thinks Hard work? There are a lot of people outside with red eyes. If you want to enter our tofu shop, you will never have a chance."

Originally, Shujie decided to close the tofu shop for six days from New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.Who knew that those big customers were very loud and asked not to lose their slots, so they took the initiative to jointly offer to continue to order tofu nao and soy milk at three times the usual price during these six days.

Some people accidentally discovered that Michelle soy milk is very effective for hangover, and after sobering up, there is no headache and stomach.

For those who celebrate the New Year, those high-ranking and wealthy families come and go with banquets every day, and wine is naturally indispensable, so.Naturally, Michelle soy milk, which can relieve hangover comfortably, is indispensable.

And if you eat fish and meat every day, you also need small dishes like tofu with shallots, don’t you?

Not to mention those wives and ladies, Michelle tofu and soy milk are not only delicious, but also a "beauty facial fat" for internal use. How can they be willing to stop?Don't say three times.Even if they are ten times more willing, that amount of money is really cheap for them, but the effect and taste are not ambiguous at all.

Shujie asked Uncle Kui, Uncle Qiang, and the two shopkeepers to listen to everyone's opinions. The tofu shop will not be closed for six days, but it will only be open once a day, and the shop will not sell goods.Exclusively supply those big customers who make reservations.

The staff in the tofu workshop take turns to work, one day at work and one day off.The wages are three times the usual.

Who would not want to?They can't wait to do two trips a day like usual, so that everyone can get three times the salary for six days.

The staff of the tofu workshop can only be used as rough envoys in other mansions, and they all get the lowest level of monthly money.When I arrived at Xia Mansion, I was assigned to a tofu workshop, and I was paid a wage, which was higher than that of long-term workers in most workshops in the capital, and sometimes I worked overtime.It is almost the same as the monthly allowances paid by the first- and second-class maids and small stewards in the mansion of the big family, and the board and lodging treatment is not bad.Therefore, the staff of Michelle Tofu Square are more willing to work and do their duty.I'm afraid that the master will be dissatisfied and sell himself. Where can I have such a good master and such a good life?

Not to mention three times the salary now, even the same salary as usual, and no one would say "no", who wouldn't want to do it?There is still a large group of people waiting for the opportunity to sell into the summer house and Michelle Tofu Workshop.

After hearing Uncle Qiang's words, Shuyao suddenly said: "Speaking of which, we really need to buy a new group of people, Uncle Kui, do you think it will be a problem if we open one or two 'Qiaoweiju' now?"

Uncle Kui's eyes lit up, and he put on a ready-to-fist posture: "No problem, no problem, now Uncle Qiang and Aunt Qiang manage the tofu shop in an orderly manner, and the shopkeepers of the two shops are also handy. It has been arranged, and now Ah Rong (Second Steward of Foreign Affairs, Uncle Rong) is in charge of follow-up. The original Liang Zhuangtou on the Zhuangzi is also a good one. Master, girl, the slave is just trying to suggest to you to open "Qiaoweiju" Well, Mrs. Ren also mentioned it to me several times."

In order to open "Qiaoweiju", Shuyao bought a few people who are good at making dim sum, and selected three of them to learn the dim sum recipe left by Yen Zirou. Sao Ren is the steward of the three.Sister-in-law Ren has a son who is the same age as Shuwen, who can read and write. Now he has changed his name to Tongjin and works as Shuwen's personal servant.

For the first time, Shuwen made a suggestion to the family shop, asking Shuyao to give Rensao and the others only one-third of the dim sum recipes. After learning each recipe, they must extend at least three to five more. Only by making a new dim sum pattern with the same main ingredients, different ingredients, and different tastes can you continue to get the next dim sum recipe to learn.

Needless to say, Shuwen's trick ignited the enthusiasm of the three of Mrs. Ren. They were already good at making dim sum and familiar with various dim sum materials. Now they have new inspiration, incentives and competition. From top to bottom in the mansion, it was a feast for the eyes.The one-third of the recipes that Shuyao took out are enough to surprise diners after the opening of "Qiaoweiju", and new ones are often released, and there will be no shortage of new varieties for at least one or two years.

Shujie and Shuyao highly praised Shuwen, and Shuyao later found out that this younger brother had been influenced by Uncle Kui and Aunt Jin for a long time, and he had a new way of thinking about doing business.Except for the dim sum recipe, the series of ideas that Shuwen put forward one after another are all whimsical ideas.As a result, Uncle Kui loves to find Shuwen more and more to discuss things in the store. I don’t know which sentence or event can suddenly inspire Shuwen with a new and different idea, which can be used in the store business almost quickly. Can see results.Of course, these are still for later.

After hearing Uncle Kui's words, Shu Jie also felt that the time was ripe: "Since this is the case, Uncle Kui, you should start looking for a suitable shop, and at the same time, let the matchmaker send someone over to pick and train. Mrs. Ren is in charge of making dim sum. Still need a shopkeeper."

Mother Liu smiled and said, "Just right, the girl said that day that she wanted to open a larger Qiaoweiju. An old sister of mine in the palace said that her husband's aunt had a big shop that she wanted to sell. Uncle Kui, I I will give you the address and the person to contact, and you can go and have a look in two days." (To be continued.
