This guy, when he went to court the next day, handed in his job, and immediately asked for orders to go to Xishan Daying. Even the several days leave given by the emperor was rejected, and he didn't stay in Beijing for a moment, as if there was a vicious dog chasing him after him.
Therefore, when Zhu Junyang's aunt and Jiao Didi's cousin visited Prince Jing's mansion, he was already in the Xishan camp, leading a group of recruits who had just joined the army this spring to go to the mountains for training. He only returns to Beijing irregularly, and besides paying respects to his concubine, he sticks to Xiaocao's side. He didn't give a certain "little green plum" the chance to approach him at all, lest someone's little jealous jar would be overturned.
After the corn and potatoes are in the fields, high summer comes next. Regardless of Huangzhuang or orchard, there are special personnel to manage the fields. Xiaocao occasionally goes for a cutscene, and at other times, the cat eats ice bowls with ice bowls at home.
On this day, Cherry, who is in charge of the pharmaceutical workshop, and Yang Liu, who is in charge of the back kitchen of the stewed meat shop, came together. After announcing the lady, Cherry took this quarter's account book and showed it to the lady: "Miss, the scale of our pharmaceutical workshop is still too small, and the pharmacies in the capital and surrounding counties can't supply it. Pills and liquid medicine There's always more demand than demand. Shall we expand it a bit more?"
"Expand the scale? The pharmaceutical workshop in Beijing has been in production for less than half a year, and you want to expand the scale of production? Cherry, you are too dedicated as a manager, aren't you?" Yu Xiaocao couldn't help but marvel. Guy must be the strong woman type.
Cherry pursed her lips and smiled, feeling refreshed to the bottom of her heart as if she had drunk an iced drink in the dog days of the master's affirmation. She humbled herself and said, "It's not that the slaves are capable, it's that when you were in Dongshan Village, you, the master, formulated a series of production rules and production lines. As long as the medicinal materials are in place and the labor is in place, each is responsible for his own part. Grasp the ratio of medicinal materials, it is easy to get it done! Miss, you don’t do it, our workshop has many spies from the medicinal material shop who have worked for us for a long time, but they are all in vain. Back. Miss, why are you so wise, the production method of the assembly line is simply a good way to keep it secret!"
Yu Xiaocao casually flipped through the account books. This quarter's production volume has increased a bit compared to the previous quarter. This is expected. After all, the workers in the last quarter were all newbies and they still need to get used to it. The output was a bit lower than that in Dongshan Village, but it quickly caught up in this quarter.
"There is also the reward mechanism you have formulated. More pay for more work has mobilized the enthusiasm of the workers. A few small stewards have also assigned members of the pharmaceutical workshop to them. They wish they could stay in the workshop at twelve o'clock a day. , but work hard!"
The more Cherry talked, the more excited she was, and the way she danced and danced. If she was seen by those little stewards under her, she would be shocked—the always majestic and stable Boss Cherry has such a lively side. Cherry, only in front of her own lady, can she show her truest and purest side.
Yu Xiaocao asked Yingchun to serve her and Yangliu a bowl of fruit smoothie. Cherry, who was still beaming with joy just now, suddenly drooped her eyebrows and sighed while clutching her stomach: "Master, slaves can't eat cold food these days. It's hot, Not being able to eat ice is simply a kind of torment. The servant girl really misses the fruit smoothie developed by the master. But when I make it myself, I will never be able to make the taste I want."
Yang Liu took the ice bowl, but didn't enjoy it right away. He looked down at the smoothie in the bowl seriously, and said to himself, "There are peaches, watermelons, cantaloupe, and cherries. Are there any cherries this season?"
Yingchun smiled and said: "Sister Yangliu, yellow peaches, cherries, and strawberries are all canned food soaked in honey. The lady said that putting the canned food in the smoothie will taste better. The lady also has time to teach us how to make ice cream. Come on The milk strawberry ice cream made by the second lady, and the vanilla flavor, are delicious!"
Yang Liu hesitated for a moment, then finally looked up at Xiaocao, and said softly but firmly: "Miss, I want to leave the stewed meat shop!"
"What? Are you unhappy at the stewed meat shop? Someone is bullying you? Tell me, and I'll back you up!" Yu Xiaocao noticed that Yang Liu was preoccupied from the very beginning, but she never expected that she would make such a request.
"No, no one bullies the servants. Now the stewed meat shop has long been on the track, and the master chef in the back kitchen is experienced, so there is no need for slaves to watch over it. It is the same whether there are slaves in the stewed meat shop now." Yang Liu I feel that I have become the redundant one in the stewed meat shop, and I only go to the back kitchen for a symbolic visit twice a day.
Whether it's stewed meat, or all kinds of roast duck, roast chicken and smoked meat, she doesn't need to point it out. She became a dispensable existence. Compared with Cherry, her job is too relaxed, and it will wear down her enterprising spirit after a long time.
"Then... do you have any other ideas, let me know!" Yu Xiaocao wanted to create opportunities for people around her, so that they could find their own strengths and do their favorite careers. Cherry and He Chun, aren't they all very energetic? When Yang Liu was with her, he liked to think about cooking skills, so he sent her to a stewed meat shop in central Beijing to take charge of the back kitchen. Unexpectedly, this was not what she wanted.
Yang Liu's personality is not as lively as Cherry's. Most of the time, she keeps things in her heart. However, for the sake of not being mediocre in the future, and for what she pursued, she bravely expressed what she was thinking under Cherry's encouraging eyes: "Miss, haven't you made many beauty and health snacks? When I was around, I learned some techniques of making dim sum, and wanted to open a dim sum shop comparable to the time-honored Daoxiang Village."
A gratified smile appeared on Yu Xiaocao's face, and she looked at Yang Liu with admiration and encouragement: "It's a good idea! I have long wanted to open a dim sum shop that combines Chinese and Western styles, but I've been busy all the time. Without suitable helpers, it ran aground. Since you have the will, go back and write out your ideas about the shop. Then find some ingenious female workers, and I will spare some time to train you. Try to complete the shop within a month. open up."
With the support and encouragement from her master, Yang Liu suddenly became full of confidence. When she was in Tanggu before, she often helped the lady to make some delicious snacks with different styles. Many of them are things she has never seen or heard, and the taste is excellent, so there is no need to worry about the lack of market.
"Okay! I'll go back and sort out my thoughts now, servant girl, and I'll present the plan tomorrow for your master to review!" Yang Liu stood up, feeling quite impatient.
Yu Xiaocao let out a chuckle, and said: "It's not too late, it's not too late to go back after eating the ice bowl. I always thought that Cherry is the most impatient among you. He's also impatient!"
Cherry refused to say: "Miss, you said Yangliu, why did you bring up the servant girl? The servant girl is no longer Wuxia Amon, the manager of the pharmacy in Beijing, whoever sees the servant girl does not call "the master of cherry blossoms", the servant girl is calm now." !"
"Is that so? Excuse me, the stable manager of Cherry, who was the one who danced and almost jumped up from the chair just now?" Yu Xiaocao looked at her with smiling eyes and asked jokingly.
Cherry chuckled, and said: "In front of the master, what are the servants doing, how tired they are!"
Xiaocao nodded her with her fingers, and said, "By the way, just now you said that you want to expand the scale of the pharmaceutical workshop, what do you plan to do?"
When talking about business, Cherry immediately sat upright, with a serious look, indeed a bit of authority: "Miss, recently there are many drugstores from other places who want to cooperate with us. The servant has investigated, and Tong Ren Tang, which we are now cooperating with, although There are more than a dozen branches, but there are so many state capitals in the country, it is impossible to have branches of Tong Ren Tang."
After a pause, she continued: "At present, the pharmaceutical workshops in Dongshan Village are more than enough to supply the Tongrentangs in the south of the Yangtze River. In our capital, the eight or nine Tongrentangs in charge of the central and northern parts can barely supply. But if If we cooperate with other pharmacies, the production volume will be far from enough!"
"Therefore, I think: First expand the production of children's medicines. Let children in counties without Tongrentang avoid suffering from bitter medicines when they are sick, and eat medicines and syrups produced by our family. If you can do it Next, expand the production of other pills, and strive to sell the pills and potions produced by Yu’s Pharmaceutical to all over the country!!” Cherry’s eyes were frighteningly bright, as if she was moved by the prospect she imagined.
When she was speaking freely, Yu Xiaocao couldn't help nodding her head slightly: "Cherry, this girl is indeed the seedling of a strong woman." Since she is full of drive, she cannot bury her talent.
"Okay! Just do it according to your ideas, and carry it out boldly! No matter what the result is, I will support you!" Yu Xiaocao gave the two of them affirmation and encouragement, and praised, "Do you know? My master doesn’t lack anything now, except you are finally full of energy and enterprising talents! Work hard, and when you reach the age, you will restore your good status and find a good family for you... "
"Miss!" Yingying interrupted her with a blushing face, and said disobediently, "You are still a child in your teens, so you worry about the lifelong affairs of the servants? Restoration of good status or something, forget it! Slaves I am in charge of the secret medicine recipe of the workshop, and I am afraid that I will marry someone with ulterior motives. I have already thought about it. When I am twenty years old, I will find a steward of the family and continue to be your right-hand man!"
Cherry is also pungent, although a little shy, she still expresses her meaning clearly. She, Yangliu, Wutong, and Pipa are not the sons of the Fang family, but orphans bought from outside, and have nothing to do with the Fang family or Mrs. Fang's natal Xia family. Mrs. Fang may have considered this when she was assigned to the young lady.
