The old ministers are spreading rumors in private: who and so, because they drank the fruit wine rewarded by the emperor, used to be bedridden for many years, and now they can get up and move around; The wine bestowed by the Supreme Emperor, the old wound no longer hurts after winter, and the legs and feet are much more flexible...
Take the Taishanghuang as an example. When he was young, he fought for years and was a famous desperate Saburo. He always had new injuries on his body. Ten years ago, when he abdicated the throne to the then emperor's grandson, at the age of 60, he looked old and sick all over his body. When it was serious, he had to be supported even when he got on the horse.
What now? He is in his seventies, but he looks only in his early sixties, younger than ten years ago. The whole person seemed to have rejuvenated for a second time, full of energy, and flushed. During the autumn hunting, he even competed with the boys and shot and killed many prey.
In the eyes of ministers, these changes seem to be inextricably linked with fruit wine. Although it was only this year that the imperial fruit wine was used last time, the old generals who have a good relationship with the Supreme Emperor all tasted wine at his place, and they never forget it when they come back.
Therefore, in the minds of many people, fruit wine is comparable to the panacea of Tongrentang, and it works very well. Many old guys who are old and frail, who are attached to power and refuse to admit their old age to official positions, often inquire about the origin of fruit wine in private. However, apart from the royal family, very few people knew who paid the tribute to the fruit wine, and the few insiders had their mouths too tight to pry them open. Every time, they return disappointed!
The topic seems to be a bit far away, let's continue to talk about the talented maid around Xiaocao. Of the four big girls who were selected in Fangfu, Wutong and Pipa are still by their side. Piqua is stable and introverted, and is currently in charge of Yufu's ups and downs.
Originally, this job was going to be handed over to Wu Tong, but after nearly two years of tempering, this girl is more than capable in terms of loyalty and dealing with others. However, she volunteered to be a close girl by Miss's side, so she could gain a lot of knowledge and learn a lot of skills. However, under her care, Xiaocao's yard is in perfect order. The little girls in the courtyard are more afraid of her than their own young lady. In this way, a lot of people who can be used have been trained and trained.
If Wutong is her left arm, Yingchun, which has gradually grown up, is her right arm. Don't look at the little girl who sometimes twitters, but when she goes out, she has another face. She acts vigorously and resolutely, and has never embarrassed her master.
Tanchun, who is younger, is trying to learn arithmetic from her husband. Every day, she saw that her master was having a hard time reading the account books, and wanted to share his worries, so she secretly followed him to learn how to read the account books. Xiaocao saw that she was very self-motivated, so she hired a special person to guide her. She is not the only student, and there will definitely be more and more properties in the family in the future, and there must be only a lot more accountants. Now it is considered a talent pool!
Tanchun's goal is to become the most powerful tent around the master! In the past, only men could be in charge and accountant, but now it is different! The master said that a woman can hold up half the sky, and she will be the most outstanding female accountant that all men envy! ! However, the most important thing now is to learn the "Arabic numerals" and "multiplication formula" taught by the master first!
Several maids in the family are busier than her master, Yu Xiaocao expressed a guilty conscience. However, if there is something to do, the disciples do their best, and these maids are all taught by her, so what's the point in sharing the property under her hands
Therefore, the girls who came out with her this time are still Yingchun and Wutong. oh! There are also Chunhua and Qiushi who were sent by the king of Yangjun to protect her. Speaking of which, Xiaocao still felt somewhat guilty towards these two.
After returning from the paddock, these two disappeared for a long time. She thought they were called back by Zhu Junyang to work! After all, it took a lot of physical and mental effort to cultivate a female dark guard with high skill and strength, one against ten. But later she learned from the side that Chunhua Qiushi was accused of failing to protect the master, went back to the execution hall to receive the punishment, and lay on the bed for nearly a month.
If Zhu Junyang wasn't afraid of causing Xiaocao's suspicion and sadness because of the newcomer, they might not even be able to survive. Thinking of his little girl's helpless and terrified appearance facing the hungry and crazy tiger alone, Zhu Junyang had the urge to kill.
The little girl looked totally indifferent on the surface, but she had nightmares for several days in a row at night. If she were replaced by a delicate young lady, I'm afraid she would get seriously ill from fright and lose half of her life.
For Chunhua and Qiushi who had never protected the little girl at that time, they just let them lie on the bed for a month. In Zhu Junyang's view, it was already for the sake of the little girl's face, and it was cheaper for them. Chunhua Qiushi, who was lucky enough to survive, is even more loyal to the "savior", and they will naturally accompany them on this trip.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai also came back. Although for them, Dongshan Village and the deep mountains of Xishan are their homes. The small hill behind Huangzhuang is not enough for them to cause trouble. In the capital, these two little ones can't help but be aggrieved. When they are in the paddock, they are considered to have released their instincts, and they almost killed most of the prey in other people's paddocks. However, the two little ones didn't set off with Xiaocao, they picked up the trail and rushed back all the way, and by this time they had almost gone to have fun in the West Mountain.
Speaking of which, Xiaocao hasn't been to the stewed vegetable shop in Fucheng for a long time. The aunt's family also bought a house in Fucheng for convenience, and they all moved here. The stewed vegetable shop and the pickled vegetable shop are getting bigger and bigger, and several nearby shops are either bought or exchanged, and they are connected together. The two shops were turned into a wholesale and retail shop by the aunt's family.
"Now, there are more than 30 female workers in our shop who are hired to do odd jobs, but the key technical aspects are handed over to the servants who are in our hands. Except for Huang Xiaomei's family, our shop I bought another ten people here, and five of them are also a family." Liu Xiaoyan was very excited to see Xiaocao, and took her hand to show her the current back kitchen.
The inner yards of more than a dozen shops in a row are all opened up, and they are all used as stewed meat processing workshops, smoked products processing workshops, roast chicken and roast duck processing workshops... Among them, the stewed meat processing workshop is the largest and the best-selling in the hall.
"Father and mother sit in the store every day. In order to understand the account books, my mother learned a lot of words from my father. My father's abacus is also new, and now he can play it very smoothly! My parents have tasted the bitterness of ignorance. , my younger brother was sent to school to study when he was just six years old. My brother and I also invited a teacher to study for an hour every night. Sometimes, my parents will follow the class!"
Liu Xiaoyan led Xiaocao into the stewed meat processing workshop. Dozens of large stoves were burning with raging fires. Steam was bubbling from the cauldrons on the stoves, and the strong aroma of stewed meat came to the face. The workshop is full of snow-white blouses, blue aprons, and white hats. Although the workshop is a bit messy, it is very neat.
"Xiaocao, the hygienic situation you have repeatedly emphasized, no matter how big the shop is, we have not relaxed. Every day, I am responsible for checking the sanitation of each processing workshop. If it is found to be unqualified, three days' wages will be deducted. If there are three times If you fail, you will be fined to wash pig intestines and do the most tiring and smelly work." Liu Xiaoyan was quite satisfied with what she saw, and did not embarrass her in front of her cousin.
Yu Xiaocao nodded in satisfaction, and turned to see a familiar face. Xiao Mei Niang has shed her original timidity and cowardice, and directs the people under her to weigh the ingredients, add the ingredients, and add the ingredients. Seeing Yu Xiaocao's cousins come in, she showed a warm smile and greeted the masters.
Liu Xiaoyan let her go, don't need to greet them, she has the prestige of a big shopkeeper, after leaving the stewed meat processing workshop, she said with a smile: "In the past two years, not only have we grown, but many things have also changed. Xiaomei Niang said at the beginning He blushes at every word, and now he is in a hurry, and he is very qualified for the position of chief steward of the stewed meat workshop."
After a pause, she said again: "My mother listened to you and handed over all the rights. As you said, no matter how much money you earn, the loss will not be worth the loss if you are exhausted. The pickle shop will be handed over to Huang Xiaomei Take care, she has learned almost all the pickling skills and various pickling methods you sorted out, and she is quite proficient. I will take you to the pickle shop next door in a while, and you will test her skills?"
"The stewed vegetables workshop was handed over to Xiao Meiniang, and the smoked products were handed over to the daughter-in-law named Lan Ying from the family who bought it later. Their family escaped from Sichuan and Chongqing, and everyone there can smoke meat. She soon Let's get started."
"Roasted chicken and roast duck are sold in limited quantities, so there are not many finished products produced every day. I usually supervise them. The two people under my hand are also very quick to get started. I believe I will be able to get out soon and specialize in my cooking. The cashier is here!" Liu Xiaoyan likes the feeling of counting money until her hands cramp, so the cashier work is very busy, and she still enjoys it.
"Currently, there are several stewed vegetables shops in Fucheng that buy from us. Not only that, but there are also many stewed vegetables and pickles in the nearby state capitals who come to wholesale. The wholesale business in the store makes more money than retail. Although it is a little I made some profits and went out, but I can’t stand the large quantity!” Liu Xiaoyan was talking non-stop when talking about the thriving shop, and she might be able to talk non-stop in three days without repeating anything.
"It's the beginning of Sishi. There are not many people in retail stores, but there are many wholesale businesses. Let's go and have a look!" Liu Xiaoyan led Xiaocao to the west, where there were already several queues.
"The wholesale shop opened at dawn, and people didn't leave until the end of the day. At that time, the retail shop started to get busy again. Fortunately, we hired enough salesmen, and their hands and feet are quick." Slightly showing off , Are you asking for praise
Yu Xiaocao was a little surprised by the development of Fucheng braised vegetable shop. Unexpectedly, in just over two years, it has already scaled up. Although the stewed vegetable shop is called "Yu Ji", it has actually been handed over to the aunt's family.
