Chapter 229: A Better Way
Facing Ouyang Kang's question, Lan Gu was speechless for a while, and only said after a while, "I just let them go in and sit, who knew they would make such a mess?" Sister Mu doesn't usually put things away and lock them up? ”
Ouyang Kang started to have a headache again, why did she always make so much sense?
"This is their own home, who doesn't have to hang a bunch of locks in their own house to prevent people like a thief? For example, I don't have a lock in my room, if someone else goes in and makes a mess, I deserve it? ”
Lan Gu suddenly said awe-inspiringly, "How can you do that?" I'll be sure to help you take care of it! Sister Mu'er's room was not optimistic, it was Liu Er's dance. ”
Ouyang Kang glanced at her and asked, "Then if my father wants to turn it over, you can stop it?" ”
Lan Gu suddenly became half a cut shorter and stopped squeaking.
Ouyang Kang sighed again, "Aunt Lan, you go out to live for a while, and you should calm down and think about it." Sister Mu is really good to us, if it weren't for her, don't say if I can keep my face, when I went to Beijing in the past, my life would have been gone. You often say that I can't be a man without a conscience. But if you think about it, do you have a conscience for what you have done these times? You can't just hurt her just to protect me. By doing this, you're not only hurting her heart, you're also slapping me in the face. Because you are the person I brought out, I can't always remember my past feelings and protect you unreasonably. Being a person always has a right and wrong, do you say it's right? ”
Lan Gu finally fell silent.
Ouyang Kang went to fetch ten taels of silver for her to bring, and told her to take care of herself, and if anything happened, send someone back to the broken garden to say. Only then did Lan Gu go out of the door.
Thinking about it, I called Wu'er Liu'er and asked them to move down from downstairs, and then they will take Langu's class.
The two girls had been beaten by Zhong Shan yesterday, and they knew that they had done something wrong, so they didn't dare to refute it for a while, and they took over the Langu needlework with shame and shame.
Then he called Zhong Shan, discussed it with him, and sent two neat rough servants to serve Nian Fu and asked them. "You might do a good job?"
The two servants had been doing rough work for half their lives. I never thought that there would be another day to be able to do such delicate work, and I was overjoyed, "Don't worry, young master, if you want to say that the slaves and maids are old and yellow." It's not that pretty. But when it comes to work, it doesn't lose to anyone. Give us the girl's house. In the future, don't say anything about the uncle coming to the door, it's the king of heaven and Lao Tzu who is here, as long as there is no master. We won't let him in! ”
Good! Ouyang Kang wants this momentum.
Originally, Wu'er still had an expectation in her heart, wanting to wait until Nianfu came back and her heart softened, and maybe she could help them say a few good words, but Liu'er said, "You will die of this heart, make such a big mistake, the girl didn't drive us out of Lu, it's good." You don't count, how much did you ruin to that family yesterday? It's just that we are bundled and sold together, can we afford to pay for it? I've been working here honestly for a year and a half, and then think about what I'm thinking. ”
When Wu'er heard this, she also felt deflated.
When I turned around and saw Nianfu, I really didn't say anything to them, and I didn't mention that I wanted them to go back, but in front of everyone, I focused on rewarding Luo Liang, who was meritorious and injured by the guards. He also promised him that when he waited until the beginning of spring next year, he would go and bring him a litter of puppies back to raise, and see if anyone dared to break into the house in the future.
Since then, the people have all counted in their hearts.
Don't think that Sister Mu is from a small family, and those who usually like to talk and laugh think that people have no character. If you really want to step on her bottom line, it will be the same unreasonable.
But people are so angry, and they are really right. If you don't believe it, look at the rouge pollen and other things that were spoiled by her uncle's family, which such good thing is not worth a few taels of silver on the market? There are many tributes in the palace, but they are given to people to pick a lump here, dig a piece there, who do you say about this matter, who can not get angry?
Therefore, not only will people not think that Ouyang Kang and Nianfu are strict, but they will feel that it is right to distinguish rewards and punishments in this way. Since then, everyone has been more conscientious about the work in hand, and dare not neglect it in the slightest.
As for Lan Gu who left, she is usually not very popular, but now that she is gone, except for Ouyang Kang, she is still worried about two points, and no one really mentions it.
After a few days of quiet, everyone hurried to complete the renovation project of the broken garden.
Wu Mian came over to see it again and was very satisfied.
Su Cheng thought about it, so he told Ouyang Kang and Nianfu to simply make another wine, first, to celebrate the completion of the new house, second, to celebrate Ouyang Kang's recovery from his injury, and third, to take out the framed calligraphy and paintings last time to show them, which can be regarded as thanking relatives and friends for their care.
Nianfu also means the same thing, so they hit it off and went their separate ways. It's just that Ouyang Kang has something to talk to Nianfu about.
"Are you ready for the Thousand Autumn Festival?"
Seeing that Nianfu came back early today, he seemed to be in a good mood, and he talked and laughed about buying a few pigs tomorrow to come back to make New Year's bacon or something, Ouyang Kang waited for her to go upstairs, found an excuse and sat in front of her.
Since saying goodbye to Mu Shaoqin that day, the two seem to have reconciled, but they still have some pimples, and they haven't spoken alone for several days.
Nianfu pursed his lips slightly, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, still didn't smile, but took over, "Not yet." However, many people in the bazaar were making ideas for me, but when I went back to ask Master, he wouldn't say anything. ”
Ouyang Kang suddenly perked up, and said that he was angry with her, "How can Master Zhu be like this?" Anyway, he also offered food to the Queen Mother, in case he was appreciated, he would also have a light on his face. ”
"Isn't it? But he wants me to realize it myself, whether I am learning to cook with him, or cultivating the Tao, where can I realize so many things? Nianfu really wanted to complain, but she was in front of others, and it was inconvenient to say bad things about Zhu Silin, that is, she could only say a word or two in front of Ouyang Kang. The two of them don't talk these days, and she is really suffocated.
Ouyang Kang wanted to laugh a little, for fear of making Nian Fu angry, so he could only gag his mouth with his fist and hold back vigorously, "Otherwise, you can leave him alone and think about it yourself." ”
"Can't think of it." Nianfu really had a headache, "What do you want on the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Festival?" What do you have to do? ”
Ouyang Kang had already thought about this problem, and said at this time, "Then you might as well make a plate of tofu." Mr. said that the heavy sword has no edge, the great ingenuity is not worked, and sometimes the most simple things can move people's hearts the most. ”
Nian Fu was surprised, "Tofu? Wouldn't that be too easy? ”
Ouyang Kang asked her rhetorically, "But compared to complex things, have you ever done those masters who have studied art for decades?" ”
That's a terrible statement! But Nianfu pouted and thought about it, it was very real.
Although she has been practicing knife work with Zhu Silin for a few days now, not to mention that compared to Yu Sansheng and Song Siyuan's masters, compared to Lu Ying, she still doesn't know dozens of streets, and if she wants to win in complexity and refinement, it is indeed impossible. But if you make a fuss about tofu, how can you win by surprise?
Seeing her frowning and pondering, Ouyang Kang had to interrupt her unkindly, "Anyway, there are still a few days before the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Festival, you can think about this matter later, I have something here to discuss with you first." ”
"What's the matter?"
Ouyang Kang hesitated for a moment before he said, "It's about Niu Dali, it's about the scoundrels who used rat meat to make trouble last time." ”
After a slight pause, seeing that Nianfu didn't lose his temper, he continued, "The last incident was so big that their gang was locked up, and then they quickly confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes. stumbling together, a total of seventeen families were involved. ”
He took out a few thin notes from his sleeve and pushed them to Nianfu. The person in charge of the seventeen families and the family situation were simply written on the paper, thinking that Nianfu was illiterate, Ouyang Kang read it to her one by one, and explained, "These seventeen families are all old merchants who have opened stores in Beishi for many years, the oldest is sixty-seven, and the youngest is thirty-five. At this age, there are all old and young. In addition to the family, there are also a number of men and cooks who depend on them. At present, five of the leaders of these seventeen people have been imprisoned in the yamen, but almost all of the other twelve families are closed, and every family is eating their old capital. If it goes on like this, it will be a matter of time before the door is closed. ”
Ouyang Kang's tone was not heavy, but when he heard Nian Fu, his heart was a little heavy. She also came from a poor family, and she knows the difficulties involved. Although these people are hateful, do they really want to make trouble and ruin people's homes?
Looking at her face again, Ouyang Kang said, "Actually, I talked to them at the scene that day. Seriously, none of them are bad people. Of course, you can't be blamed for that. After all, they all rely on their skills to eat, they can't do you, so they use this kind of indiscriminate means to deal with us, even if there are any consequences, they deserve it. However, I wondered if there could be a better solution. ”
Nianfu looked at him again, obviously a little stunned, "Do you have a way?" ”
Everyone runs a restaurant, and they are all competitors, and there is a conflict of interests, which is a dead end, and there is no solution at all!
Ouyang Kang smiled slightly, "I don't know if I did it right, but I was thinking at the time, even if all these restaurants are closed, can you do the business in the entire North Market?" In the past few days, I have checked the account books, and now we can probably make about 45,000 to 5,002 orders a day, and any more will be unbearable. And with so many orders, except for those dishes, most of the rice is pressed on you alone, don't you feel hard and don't want to find a few helpers? ”
Nianfu is a smart person, and he is not angry today, so it is easy to listen to his words, and he quickly understands, "What do you mean......"
(The paws are too tired, so I'll be 2 more today.) I'm going to get hot water bubbles and I'll add them tomorrow. (To be continued......)
