Chapter 145: Preparations for the Tea House
After Xiangju finished arranging, she went to the small kitchen.
Now there are not many people in the small kitchen, but there are also a lot, in addition to Liao's mother, there are five or six helpers such as Sister-in-law Li.
Originally, she was the only one when Liao's mother was there, but fortunately, at that time, she was only responsible for Dong Ruyi's food alone, and when Chen's sister-in-law came in, Liao's mother followed Dong Ruyi to Chen's house.
The daily purchase of the small kitchen of Yixin Yuan is bookkeed, which is the rule left by the Chen family.
After Yixinyuan didn't take food from the big kitchen, Xu's mother added another one, that is, the daily amount of ingredients used in the small kitchen also needed to be accounted for, because she had to take them to the same week's mother to reconcile the accounts before she could get the money.
For the sake of convenience, Dong Ruyi directly moved out the set of managing the palace, since they are all rules, let's start learning directly from the ready-made rules.
Sister-in-law Li took off the key on her waist, and before she could hand it out, Liao's mother patted her hand holding the key and said, "Our small kitchen is still the same as before, and the warehouse is still in your hands." ”
Sister-in-law Li hurriedly said: "How can this be done, you are the mother in charge, and you should keep the key to this small kitchen." ”
Liao's mother shook her head and said, "You haven't been with the eldest lady, and after a long time, you know that our eldest lady is actually very easy-going." But easy-going and easy-going, but a mouthful, this has nothing to do with the rules, it's really my lack of skills. Besides, I'm afraid I'm going to follow the eldest lady to Chen's house again in a few days, so you still have to do whatever you want, just don't leave my food behind. ”
Sister-in-law Li snorted and laughed, and quipped: "Look at what you said, where can you be missing, but why does our eldest lady always go to relatives?"
Everyone looked at Liao's mother, and Liao's mother said: "This matter is really hard to explain, in short, everyone can do it well." ”
Liao's mother insisted on not taking the key to the warehouse.
Sister-in-law Li finally said: "Then I'll help my mother keep this key first, in fact, everyone is easy to get along with, if you can't get busy, just help each other." ”
The others saw that Liao's mother was also a good talker, so they said it word by word.
Liao's mother said, "Let's all go and get busy, let's almost start preparing dinner." It is estimated that Miss Xiangju is also coming over soon. ”
Xiangju, who had been standing at the door for a while, saw that everyone had dispersed, and came in with a smile: "What did Mother Liao say about me behind my back?"
Everyone looked at Xiangju and said, "Xiangju girl." ”
Xiangju said: "Everyone is busy, don't worry about me." ”
Liao's mother said: "This is really Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, the slave maid has not prepared many dishes today, and a few dishes are still brought from the Chen family, and Miss Xiangju will look at it first." ”
Xiangju said: "Mom, take your time." ”
Liao's mother thought about the ingredients in her hand and said, "Today's dishes include eight-treasure meat balls, salted buffalo meat, ginger fish fillet, braised fish bones... Fengjiao chicken feet, steamed crucian carp, jade rabbit cabbage, boiled vegetables, four happiness stewed soup... Mille-feuille steamed cake, periwinkle rolls, walnut crisp, colored horseshoe cake... Candied longan, candied water chestnut ......"
Liao's mother reported more than 20 dish names and more than a dozen pastry names.
The other cooks in the kitchen all stopped their work, and listened to it on the spot, this eldest lady's mouth is really not an ordinary Diao.
Xiangju took it for granted and ordered a phoenix chicken feet, steamed crucian carp, boiled vegetables, stir-fried vegetables, four happy stewed soups, and four kinds of pastries.
After Xiangju left, Liao's mother began to prepare Dong Ruyi's dinner.
Dong Ruyi's food now is very simple, two meats, two vegetables, and one soup, as for pastries, they are indispensable all day long.
Dong Ruyi was locked up in Yixin Courtyard for ten days, and she not only dealt with the affairs in Yixin Courtyard, but also dealt with the affairs of the two newly opened shops outside.
Now Dong Ruyi already has two shops, four Zhuangzi, and three one-room houses in Jiangning.
And tomorrow is the day when her Ruji Teahouse opens, as for the Ruji Study, it is all ready, and she can come back to open it when Chen Mingxing is properly handled.
The big shopkeeper of Ruji Tea House was found by her Wang Fugui from Fujian, surnamed Min, who was previously the fourth shopkeeper of Fujian Zhuang Ji Silver Building.
He worked as an apprentice in the Silver Building at the age of ten, and worked diligently for thirty years.
At the age of forty, let alone being the second shopkeeper, he is also confident that he can do a good job even if he is the big shopkeeper, but unfortunately he is still the fourth shopkeeper.
The proprietor of Zhuang Kee Silver Building actually believed the words of the big shopkeeper and asked the son of the big shopkeeper and his nephew to make the second shopkeeper and the third shopkeeper.
He swallowed his anger and still acted as the fourth shopkeeper.
The mistake of the second shopkeeper caused Zhuang Ji Yinlou to lose 20,000 taels of silver, and he not only carried the black pot, but was also sued by Zhuang Ji's owner to the government.
His wife sold all the property in the family to dredge up for him, and his wife was so sick that he didn't even see him for the last time.
He was disheartened and was ready to wait for death in prison, but a steward surnamed Wang appeared.
Wang Fugui found his house and learned about him from his daughter-in-law.
It is said that this Wang Fugui has a lot of background, he directly paid 500 taels of silver to save the life of the shopkeeper Min, and also invited Mrs. An, the daughter-in-law of the county lord of Annan, to be a guarantor for a period of time.
The county lord of Annan is the emperor of the soil and a hall of words in Fujian.
Not to mention Mrs. An's handwritten letter, even Mrs. An's words, Zhuang Ji had to retreat, and in the end they directly withdrew the case.
Shopkeeper Min got out of prison, worshiped his mother, sold his family property, and followed his daughter-in-law, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson to Jiangning Mansion with Wang Fugui.
The courtyard in the city of Jiangning Mansion made him have more expectations for the new owner.
But when he heard that he was going to be the shopkeeper of Ruji Teahouse, he asked three times if the proprietor had made a mistake, but he would only do business in the silver house.
Wang Fugui told him categorically that the owner was not mistaken, that is, he let him work in the teahouse.
He didn't close his eyes for three days when he was depressed, he only made jewelry.
In the end, his only request was to meet the owner in person, and he wanted to ask in person why the owner opened a tea house instead of a silver building.
Dong Ruyi agreed to him, but their meeting made the shopkeeper Min remember it for a lifetime.
Dong Ruyi showed his sincerity and wore the most luxurious robe in the eyes of everyone.
When the shopkeeper Min saw Dong Ruyi, he was already stunned.
What stunned him was not Dong Ruyi's Yunjin, but his owner turned out to be a small child.
Dong Ruyi said: "The big shopkeeper, please sit." ”
Shopkeeper Min sat down stupidly.
Xiangju was wearing the same scholarly robe as Xiangju, but a discerning person knew that she was a woman at a glance.
Dong Ruyi got straight to the point and said: "I heard that the big shopkeeper has not signed a contract so far, and he asked to see me before the teahouse opens, dare to ask the big shopkeeper what is the matter?"
