"Xiaocao, these people are..." Liu Hu asked with some doubts when he saw the four members of the Huang family after entering.
Yu Xiaocao smiled and said, "Seeing that we are too busy, the king of the small county sent us helpers. From now on, their family will live in the back room. Uncle, let Huang Dachui run with you for a few days, and wait for him to become familiar with the way." , you just hand over the job of buying live pigs to him. There should also be a big shopkeeper in our shop!"
Huang Dachui had already greeted his son, and went up to take over the pigs from Liu Hu and his son. Liu Hu pouted towards the carriage outside, signaling them to move the carriage behind.
Liu Hu glanced at the stocky yellow sledgehammer, which seemed to have strength, he chuckled, and said, "Yo, our little boss gave me a promotion! From purchasing to big shopkeeper. I have to work hard, or else Sorry for your promotion, Little Master!"
Yu Caifeng glared at him with a smirk, and said, "Is there someone like you who is an elder? You can't speak properly!"
Yu Xiaocao grinned and said, "Uncle, you are wrong! This braised vegetable shop is jointly opened by our two families, and you are also one of the big bosses, and you are just the big shopkeeper!!"
This was said to the four members of the Huang family. Before the buyer, they belonged to the family business and did everything by themselves. Now let the four members of Huang's family know who is the master in the store, and there is a difference between superiority and inferiority.
Seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Huang Dachui were working very hard, my uncle gave them advice from time to time, and Yu Xiaocao said to Huang Xiaomei who had packed up the dishes: "Come on, let me tell you about the price of the pickles. You have to remember it carefully. Together, you will be in charge... Can you do arithmetic?"
Huang Xiaomei was two steps behind Yu Xiaocao, and followed behind her step by step. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Yes, my father taught me how to abacus."
Yu Xiaocao looked back at her in surprise, girls really don't have many schemes! When there are many guests later, test her!
"Half a catty of wine beans, a catty of sweet and crispy radishes, a total of thirty-eight yuan. Take it, if you think it's good, you are welcome to come back next time!" At this time, it was not too busy, and Liu was alone in the pickle shop. You can get busy here. After more than two years of experience, Mrs. Liu is gentle and capable, and she is very proficient in terms of price.
Yu Xiaocao poured a glass of water, handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Mother, you have worked hard! You can go into the house and rest for a while, as long as Xiaomei and I are here!"
"What's so hard about it? Just weigh the pickles and collect the money. The high chair in the store is really good. It's very comfortable to sit on and rest your legs when no one is around! By the way, the sweet and crispy radishes in the store , The kimchi is selling well, and the vat is almost bottomed out. Next time your father delivers the goods, let him bring two jars from Tanggu!" Liu's business is already quite handy.
Yu Xiaocao checked the pickles in the tank one by one, nodded and said: "Not only sweet and crispy radishes, but also pickled cucumbers, sweet garlic, and assorted vegetables are not many! Dad runs back and forth between Tanggu and Fucheng every day, it is too hard! If it is summer harvest I'm sure I won't be able to take care of it, or... how about asking someone from the village to help me?"
Originally, Xiaocao planned to let Huang Dahammer take over her father's work, but thought that there must be someone in charge of the store, so she changed her mind temporarily. It seems that there is still not enough manpower, and we still have to hire another person.
Mrs. Liu thought for a while, and said, "Yangfan's daughter-in-law once mentioned to me that your uncle Yangfan was fired by the master and wanted to find a suitable job. When I go back and ask, is he willing to do it!"
"Okay! Uncle Yang Fan is very honest, and he works quickly! If he is willing to do it, he will be paid 800 Wen a month." The next two who helped clean up the pigs' heads and pigs into the water paid back 20 Wen a day, eight Baiwen... should be a lot, right
Huang Xiaomei opened her eyes wide and hesitated to speak. Yu Xiaocao asked: "What's the matter? Just say what you want, don't be restrained!"
"Eight hundred cash a month, isn't it a bit much? My father used to help people in the town, and it's only four hundred to five hundred cash a month." Huang Xiaomei felt that the young lady was a little too generous.
Yu Xiaocao thought for a while, and said: "Eight hundred Wen is not too high, after all, the job of delivering goods is not easy. Xiaomei, your family is also paid, and you have done a good job. , there will be money rewards during festivals.”
When I was in the capital, the monthly money for the big girls around the godmother was eight qian, and the monthly money for the little girls was three qian. The Huang family has just arrived, so the salary is tentatively set at 300 Wen!
Huang Xiaomei was surprised. She thought that her family was bought back by the master's family, and she could do whatever the master's family asked her to do. They all belong to the Lord's family, so why are they talking about wages or not? Unexpectedly, even she has a salary of 300 Wen a month! Miss is so kind! ! However, the lady fixed the wages for them without discussing with the master, won't the master get angry when he comes back
"Miss, we are the servants you bought back, so we can still get paid?" Huang Xiaomei couldn't help reminding.
Yu Xiaocao nodded lightly, and said: "If you work hard, you will naturally be rewarded! Don't feel that you are inferior, look at the stewards of those big families, even though they are servants, they are awesome when they go out! That The king who forced you to do things, isn’t it just relying on the favor of the master? What does the big family surnamed Wang have? Isn’t it just relying on the bad money to buy a few lackeys of the yamen? It’s nothing special!! In the future, Let’s open the stewed vegetable shop all over Fucheng, and open it in the capital, let’s not say that Wang is in charge, even Wang Dahu will have to curry favor with us!!”
Huh? Talking and talking, it seems a bit off topic! But what she said was true, so what about Wang Dahu? If you dare to find fault, the prefect's office on the opposite side is not a vegetarian! ! By the way, I heard that the magistrate's wife will have a 40th birthday the day after tomorrow, so prepare more ingredients for roast duck and chicken tomorrow night.
The magistrate is obviously protecting her family, even though she is looking at the face of King Yangjun, she has to accept his love. I heard that the magistrate originally planned to celebrate his wife's birthday at the Zhenxiu Restaurant, but the business of the Zhenxiu Restaurant has been booming recently, and there are not so many tables booked. In desperation, he had to invite a cook to hold a birthday banquet at home.
Tomorrow, I will inquire with the steward of the magistrate's house and plan to set up a few tables. The day after tomorrow, she will work harder and give them a roast duck and a roast chicken for each table. Or, she personally made a cake for the prefect's wife
Yu Xiaocao was thinking about how to return favors, when a carriage parked in front of Yu Ji Braised Vegetables Shop, two 14-year-old and pretty girls came down from it.
"Oh! This is the shop opened by our lady? It smells so good! It really is worthy of Miss's craftsmanship." The girl in green clothes looked up at the signboard of Yu Ji Braised Vegetables Store and asked chatteringly.
The girl in pink clothes next to her glared at her, and said: "Yang Liu, how many times have I told you, don't be surprised! We are now the big maids next to the lady, so we must be careful, don't give it to the lady. Shame!"
Yang Liu smiled at her, and suddenly fixed her eyes on the pickle shop behind her. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Xiaocao in the shop, who was wearing an apron and sleeves, and exclaimed in surprise: "Cherry, look! Is that right?" Our lady? Yuji pickle shop, I can drink two more bowls of porridge if I eat the pickles made by the lady!"
Cherry laughed and scolded her: "No prospect!"
Following Yang Liu's line of sight, she saw a familiar face. Cherry is not calm anymore, she forgot that she scolded Yang Liu for not being steady just now. She trotted forward with the corner of her skirt in her hand, shouted excitedly through the counter, "Miss!"
Yu Xiaocao raised her head, saw Cherry's teary eyes, and asked in surprise, "Cherry? Yangliu? Why did you come to Fucheng?? Did the godmother come?"
Cherry wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her voice trembling slightly, said: "Madam didn't come...Miss, you are so cruel, you left the servants in the mansion and ignored them for several months. The servants are Waiting for you, miss, from now on, we will be wherever you are!"
When the young lady left, she didn't bring anyone with her, which caused these big maids to guard an empty yard and pay their wages every day. Those who were not selected as the maidservants came up to speak bitter words whenever they had the opportunity. Said that the young lady looked down on them, and it was not easy to refuse the madam's kindness, so she hid out. Next time Miss returns to Beijing, I don't know who to be the big maid! If it wasn't for sister Linglong who often came to the yard to look after her and gave those people a hard reprimand, they wouldn't know how many harsh words they would have heard!
The last time the general returned to Beijing, he said that the lady opened a shop in Fucheng, and she was so busy every day that she lost a lot of weight, so she asked the lady to send some helpers to the lady. She and Yang Liu took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Fucheng to serve the young lady. The last time she accompanied the young lady to Huangzhuang, she came back and told her sisters what she had seen. The sisters were very envious of her being able to go out with the young lady to have a look. This time I came to Fucheng, if she hadn't made up her mind early, she wouldn't have been able to grab this good job. Yang Liu was approved to follow because she is quite talented in cooking and learned a few cooking skills from the young lady. The madam loves the young lady so much that she asks Yang Liu to be in charge of the young lady's diet, and she is in charge of the young lady's daily life...
"Okay! Look at you, you're not pretty anymore when you cry into small tears! Hurry up and wipe away!!" Seeing Cherry and Willow, Yu Xiaocao was also very happy.
Cherry suppressed the excitement in her heart and wiped her tears. Seeing Huang Xiaomei behind Yu Xiaocao, I had an ominous premonition: "Miss, who is she?"
"I'm the girl bought by Miss!" Huang Xiaomei looked at Cherry and the two curiously. They were wearing such beautiful clothes, with silver ornaments on their heads and hands, and they looked even better than the young lady from Wang Dahu's family. The most unbelievable thing is that they actually call themselves slaves to the young lady. Are they also Miss's girls? A girl who dresses more like a lady than a lady
When Cherry heard this, her nose turned sour, and tears came down again: "Miss! You really don't want maidservants anymore? You would rather buy a girl than pick us up!"
Yu Xiaocao's hair was full of black lines, she didn't know that the seemingly lively cherry turned out to be a teardrop. She explained with a big head: "Xiaomei was sent by King Yang. I plan to let her be in charge of the pickle shop in the future. Don't worry, no one can take your job!"
