Chapter 45: Lose weight
In fact, the joy of mentioning yƬ really has an effect.
Because most of the domestic servants brought are coolies, and in this cold winter, climb the iceberg to collect medicinal materials, it is all life-saving work, and the wages naturally given are much more than the usual coolies, which can be said to be doubled, after all, some people do not reunite with the family during the New Year, in order to make a lot of money before the New Year, and the life of the year will be fine.
Jiang Yichen asked Shi Shi to inquire, these people, if they can collect valuable medicinal materials, they can have about fifty taels of wages, no matter how bad they are, at least twenty or thirty silver taels as wages.
Therefore, this smorgasbord of steamed buns can not only serve vegetables and meat for everyone, but also collect not much money, but for them, it is to save materials and money, and ...... It's a lot of gathering, one person only has dozens of copper plates, and if you want to add some more egg cakes, a few add up, and you can earn at least ten taels of silver a day! After all, there are twenty or thirty people in their room!
"Second Master!" Le Ruyi leaned on the window of the house, watching the stone dial the abacus on the stone bench in the courtyard, the sound was crackling, and every time the stone entered the account, the look on his face was even more eyebrows dancing, and Le Ruyi's heart was also sweet, "Did Ruyi help?" ā
When Jiang Yichen heard this, his lips curled, and he looked at Le Ruyi who looked eager to get his praise, so he became angry, "Baozi is indeed helpful, and now our Baozi is busy, staring at the kitchen in front all day long, forgetting the second master, isn't it?" ā
Le Ruyi saw Jiang Yichen's pitiful appearance, and hurriedly ran to him, pulling Jiang Yichen's sleeve, feeling a little guilty, "Second master, I'm sorry, it's all Ruyi's fault, Ruyi doesn't go to the front today, just serve the second master in the back, okay?" ā
When Jiang Yichen heard the word "waiting", his eyes became a little dark, he lightly raised his voice, took the small bun to his chest, picked up the brush on the table and handed it over, "Then today, let's practice calligraphy, okay?" ā
Le Ruyi blushed a little, but still nodded, practicing calligraphy...... She likes to see the second master's slender hand holding her somewhat fat hand and writing on the white paper, which is beautiful!
Following Jiang Yichen's hand, Le Ruyi wrote stroke by stroke, but as he wrote, his spirit went to Jiang Yichen's hand.
I have to say that the second master's hands are really good-looking, she has never seen a man or a master's hands so good-looking, slender and fair-skinned, with distinct joints......
"Bun ......"
Just when Le Ruyi was admiring his second master's hand blankly, Jiang Yichen suddenly turned his pen, and the ink under the pen was thrown onto the tip of Le Ruyi's nose.
"Second Master ......"
Le Ruyi felt the wetness on the tip of his nose, and took out his hand to cover his nose and wiped it, it's okay not to wipe it, just wipe it, the black place on the nose is blurred, it doesn't look funny.
"Don't worry, it's all the second master's fault!" Jiang Yichen apologized seriously, but the smile in his eyes betrayed him.
Picking up the handkerchief on the side, Jiang Yichen wiped it clean little by little, but the corners of his mouth were hooked, "I wanted to ask Baozi if there was anything he wanted to write, but I found that your eyes had been staring at the second master's hand, and the second master panicked, so he accidentally dripped ink on your nose, Baozi...... You won't blame the second master, right? ā
It seems to be explaining, but in fact, Jiang Yichen is talking about Le Ruyi just peeking at his hand, and he is fascinated by it.
There was an indifferent look on his face, but Jiang Yichen's heart was really happy, staring at his hands, thinking that they were really competitive, and they could attract the attention of Baozi.
"The second master is bad, Ruyi ignores you!"
Le Ruyi wanted to say that he didn't look at it, but as soon as he looked up, he saw the playful smile in Jiang Yichen's eyes, and immediately stomped his feet, turned around and ran down, just passing by the stones.
"Second Master!" The stone who had settled the account, looking at Le Ruyi's shyness and the triumphant gaze on his master's face, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he still couldn't help but whisper a reminder, "This Ruyi's attitude seems to be ......."
Although the second master treats Ruyi as his future daughter-in-law, he naturally treats her as his master, but isn't that a matter of the future? Let Ruyi do it now, it's okay here, if you go back, in Jiangfu, you will suffer!
Jiang Yichen is not worried that his little bun will not understand the rules or even be big or small after returning to Jiang Mansion, but ......
With a sweep of his eyes, Jiang Yichen glanced at the stone warningly, "Master, I finally made her a little temperamental, don't talk nonsense like a long-tongued woman...... Otherwise......"
When Shi Shi heard Jiang Yichen's words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his whole face formed a convulsion, he ...... Gossip? Gossip??
The stone, who was on the verge of collapse, hurriedly handed over the accounts in his hand to Jiang Yichen's hands, and put the topic aside, so as not to be entangled in this Le Ruyi's words, he felt that he was bound to vomit blood!
"Second master, the account has been calculated, at this rate, we should be profitable after the New Year!" Shi Shi's face regained solemnity, "I guess that in addition to the basic expenses of the ingredients, I should be able to earn more than a hundred taels of silver!" ā
When Jiang Yichen heard this, he stretched out his hand to open the accounts, looked at them page by page, and after he finished reading them, he spoke slowly, "It is estimated that it is more than that, it should earn one hundred and fifty taels to two hundred taels!" ā
Shi nodded, he was convinced of his master's ability to settle accounts, he had just estimated it, and it was not very accurate!
"Before leaving, only fifty taels of silver were left in the account, and the kitchen was full of ingredients, ostensibly to make the next person who came to replace him feel that this place was on the right track, understand?" Jiang Yichen opened his mouth unhurriedly, "As for the more than 100 silver, give it all to the buns!" ā
Shi raised his head and looked helplessly at the master who was guarding the short, "That's ...... Wu Ye's ......"
Jiang Yichen picked up the teacup and took a sip before he slowly spoke, "That's the money for the buns, what's the matter with him?" ā
In his heart, he silently felt a little sad for Wu Han for a while, and the stone also expressed helplessness, the master's affairs were something that he could not interfere with as a slave, so he regarded it as the work that Wu Ye had done these days...... It's all a workout!
In the evening, four people have dinner at the same table, which is naturally no different from the front hall, after all, it is a kitchen out, and it is not easy to open a small stove, but it is ......
"What's that...... I'm going to eat it too!! After Wu Han finished eating, he turned around and was about to leave, but he saw Jiang Yichen take out a delicate box from the cabinet on the side, and as soon as he opened it, the sweet smell immediately filled the entire room.
There were some delicate snacks in it, and Wu Han was very greedy when he saw it, and he was about to reach out to get it, but he was slapped away by Jiang Yichen unceremoniously.
Le Ruyi's eyes also lit up instantly when he smelled the sweet smell, but after seeing something, his eyes immediately dimmed, and he turned to lie on the table, the whole person looked wilted and listless.
"Look at you, no one is interested, give it to me, give it to me!" Wu Han glanced at Le Ruyi, who was not very interested, and immediately smiled, not caring at all whether he would be laughed at if he was a big man who liked sweets.
"Do you want to get out yourself, or do you want me to send you out?" A trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Yichen's eyes, he was worried about Baozi's unhappy appearance when he saw sweets, and he really looked full of thoughts, how could Baozi ......
As soon as he was worried, Jiang Yichen naturally didn't have a good look at Wu Han on the side, and his tone became impatient.
Silently cleaned up the stones on the table, looked at Wu Han and sighed, stretched out his hand and boldly pulled Wu Han out, before this Guihe City, there was a new household, that was when the second master was injured, he guessed that the old lady would have this arrangement, so he arranged in advance for the chef to make dim sum to come here, in order to make dim sum for Le Ruyi to eat, the business of the restaurant was so bad before, if the dim sum master was taken out, at least he could make some silver.
However, the second master just said that this master was specially prepared for Ruyi, so he ......
"Buns, don't you want to eat them?" Jiang Yichen took a piece of hibiscus cake and handed it to Le Ruyi's mouth, "Didn't you like to eat dim sum the most before?" ā
Le Ruyi glanced at Jiang Yichen with a wilt, and glanced at the hibiscus cake in front of him from the corner of his eye, it was okay if he didn't sweep it, and when he swept it, his whole eye socket turned red.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Jiang Yichen, who had red eyes, hurriedly threw away the hibiscus cake in his hand, pulled Le Ruyi in front of him, and said softly, "Did you suffer any grievances?" Or did the master and servant of the Chai family on the other side bully you again? ā
Speaking of the Chai family on the other side, a hint of gloom flashed in Jiang Yichen's eyes, this game has already been arranged halfway, if he really bullies Baozi now, he doesn't mind starting the game early.
But Le Ruyi shook his head, and looked at Jiang Yichen's hand with small eyes, but he didn't speak.
Although she didn't speak, Jiang Yichen saw inferiority complex in her little eyes.
"Baozi, are you ...... Do you think your hands don't look good? ā
Jiang Yichen thought about it and felt that his thoughts were unlikely, but Baozi's little eyes immediately turned into disgust when she saw her own hands, and she couldn't help but smile, "Do you think your hands are not as good as the second master's hands?" ā
Hearing this, Le Ruyi nodded his head heavily, "Wu Ye said, Ruyi's hands are like little pig's trotters, fat, boil them in the pot, and you can eat them!" ā
Since Wu Ye told her this, Le Ruyi felt more and more that her hands were ugly, and she was standing by the side of the second master more and more, compared with his hands, she was very inferior, she felt that she must have eaten too much snacks, so she would gain weight, and her own hands had also become fat, as long as she didn't eat desserts, would her hands become the same as the second master, thin, long and good-looking?
