With Uncle Kui, the number one housekeeper inside and outside, not only the manpower arrangements and the formulation of rules in various parts of the Xia Mansion were quickly implemented, but even the preparations for the Xia family's tofu workshop and store were accelerated in an orderly manner.

Uncle Kui also recommended two people with experience in housekeeping to be the second housekeeper, one assisted him in managing the affairs of the house, and the other was mainly external, and various affairs such as nursing, purchasing, kitchen, and house maintenance and cleaning were also set up as temporary stewards, and Shujie agreed.

Mother Liu sighed with emotion, it is still her girl who has a good vision, she and Mrs. Gu almost missed such a capable and willing person because of prejudice.

As Uncle Kui himself said, he is really not a person who doesn't know what to do, except for the "arrogant" request at the beginning, he has never had any arrogant words and deeds, not to mention Jin Xida and Shujie, even to Shu Yao and Shuwen at a young age, he is always respectful and respectful, and he does not dare to slack off at all. The big housekeeper is like this, and the people below don't dare to have any luck.

The tent of the summer house is in place, and he is also an official slave, and he is also a female tent, known as Jin Niang.

Jin Niang was originally the daughter of an imperial merchant, and her father was involved in the storm before the emperor ascended the throne and died in chaos. After the wind and rain stopped and the dust settled, their homes were raided, and all from the master to the slaves became official slaves. Jin Niang was bought by a four-grade official, and the official took a fancy to Jin Niang's beauty.

Jin Niang didn't want to be used as a plaything, self-destructed, scratched a terrible scar on her face, and claimed that she was good at accounts and business management, and used to help her father manage accounts and take care of more than a dozen shops. Ask the official to make him a bookkeeper who doesn't leave the house.

The official didn't know if he was suppressed by Jin Niang's ruthlessness. Or do you really need a good hand to take care of the accounts. Or suddenly became kind, really stopped touching Jinniang, and did not betray her, but let her be Mr. Accounts.

Jin Niang did have talent in this area, and she didn't think about marrying even after ruining her appearance, and slowly became the most trusted account manager of that official.

Three months ago, the official died, and the old lady and the lady in charge had already looked at each other, and Jinniang, who did not eat oil and salt, was not pleasing to the eye. On the second day, he sold Jinniang and replaced him with his own person.

But generally there is a men's tent in the house, not to mention that this female tent has a hideous scar on her face? Jin Niang can only be sold as a rough mother-in-law.

Whether it is Mother Liu or Uncle Kui, they are interrogated very carefully when they buy people, even if it is a rough mother-in-law, after hearing Jin Niang's experience, Shu Yao did not hesitate for a moment: "It's a waste to be a rough mother-in-law with your talent, and you must be unqualified to do rough work, so let's go back to the account room." ”

Jin Niang was very grateful to this little master who looked at her terrifying face casually and had no different color, but the silence and indifference of the past twenty years made her no longer know how to express her feelings.

But. Jin Niang knew that the tofu workshop of the master's house was about to open, and not only put forward a lot of accounting plans. also gave Uncle Kui a lot of advice, which made Uncle Kui overjoyed, and truthfully told Jin Xida and Shujie. Jin Xida said with a smile: "Not only Huohuo can dig treasures, but we Yao'er are also treasure hunting masters, and we can always see dusty jade. ”

The whole Xia Mansion is busy, Jin Xida goes out after breakfast every day, and will not come back until dinner, this is still Shu Yao "threatened" that the whole family is waiting for him to eat, and he can't come back, and he will let people go back to the house to say.

Seeing Jin Xida's "showing off face" several times in a row, but his face was clearly happy to rush back to the house, the emperor couldn't help but be unbalanced again: "Why is no one waiting for me to eat every day?" Dafuzi's father-in-law hung his head on the side, and the corners of his mouth twitched: Then you have to tell the old man clearly which palace you are going to eat in, right?

Shujie was busy preparing for the literary and martial arts exams, except for the "family gathering" time before and after dinner, where they would discuss the affairs of the house or listen to Uncle Kui's work report together, Xia Ruoyun and Liu's mother were strictly forbidden to disturb Shujie at other times. Even the little Brother Chen knew that only before and after dinner could he find his eldest cousin to fly with him, or play with him for a while.

The subordinates passed by the eldest young master's Rising Sun Garden, and they couldn't hold their breath and didn't dare to make a sound, after all, the master was brilliant, so they could follow better, right? They are all members of the Xia family now.

Shuwen is "the most" busy, he has to practice martial arts, go to school, and be the little master of Zhang Xu and Xiao Wu, and now he has a new course: learning accounting.

Shuwen has liked arithmetic since he was a child, since Jin Niang came, he went to see Jin Niang deal with the accounts a few times, asked a lot of questions, and now he is extremely worshipful of Jin Niang, plus a Xiu Tao who has followed him to learn arithmetic since childhood, and the two of them ran to Jin Niang's tent every day. Jin Niang's face was indifferent, in fact, she was a person who liked children very much, but the other children were scared and cried when they saw her, or scolded her as a "monster", and now the little master in the summer house was not only not afraid, but also willing to be close to her, her cold facial expression gradually melted, and slowly began to recall the feeling of smiling.

Shu Yao's life is the most regular, just like in Yulin Town, reading books, practicing calligraphy, painting, embroidery, practicing "Feiyan Stepping Lotus", practicing flying needles, and making some snacks in his free time, which is full and comfortable.

She has already discussed with her father-in-law and eldest brother, and when the business of the tofu shop is open and stable, she is ready to open another dim sum shop, so that everyone can taste those delicious dim sum from her mother. The name of the shop has been thought of, and it is called "Qiaoweiju", which is ingenious and delicious.

Xiajia Tofu Workshop also has an official name: Mixue Tofu Workshop.

The name was given by Shuwen, and when asked what he meant, he scratched his head: "Hehe, it's as fragrant as rice and as white as snow." My mother said that white rice is the most nourishing. ”

Everyone fainted, the taste of tofu and the taste of white rice are completely different, right? However, everyone came up with a lot of names, read and read, and finally felt that "Mi Xue Tofu" was the most palatable, and yes, no matter what it meant, I was too lazy to use my brains again, and everyone unanimously made a decision, just "Mi Xue Tofu".

In mid-November, Xia's tofu shop and two tofu shops opened at the same time, two near Suzaku Street and Shangguan Street. On the same day, the Xiajia Tofu Workshop and two shops in Yulin Town also hung up a new signboard "Mixue Tofu".

As in Yulin Town, in order not to take away the main market of other tofu factories. The tofu products and other complementary foods sold in the rice snow tofu shop are higher than the average price in the market. The difference is. In Yunlin is two percent high. And in the capital is three percent higher, because there are many rich and noble people in the capital, and the cost is generally high.

Rao is like this, the people in the tofu workshop and the shop are still busy with their feet on the ground, especially the people in the tofu workshop can only be divided into two groups to work in turns.

Other tofu factories are usually busy early in the morning and then sell them all day. Mixue Tofu Factory has to make two trips a day, in addition to supplying the shops on both sides, there are also pre-ordered orders from large households with large populations and large needs in the house. Other than that. "Shizhen Zhai" medicinal food pavilion also sends some tofu brain and soy milk every day, everyone knows that Lu Dao, Xia Zhai is also a part of "Shizhen Zhai".

Of course, the price of eating rice snow tofu brain and soy milk in "Shizhen Zhai" is several times more expensive, but the tofu brain and soy milk here are all added with red dates, wolfberries, plum blossoms, black beans and other tonic ingredients, and the effect is better. Therefore, there are still a lot of people who eat, and they often can't eat when they are late, and the most important thing in the capital is the rich people.

The idea of adding these things to soy milk isn't worth much. You can eat the ingredients in one bite, because you can only add one or two accessories at most. For example, red dates, wolfberry soy milk, plum blossom soy milk, black sesame black soybean soy milk...... Otherwise, the taste will be mixed, and you don't have to care about the proportion of ingredients like other medicinal diets.

The problem is that there are also people who ask their subordinates to do the same in their own house, and the taste is not as good as rice snow soy milk and tofu brain, and they don't have that feeling when they eat it.

A few days after the opening of Mixue Tofu Workshop, the Beijing branch of "Yunxuan" also opened, and the store location was naturally the best store on Xilai Street.

On the day of the opening of "Yunxuan", Zhao Yufa stood behind the crowd, looked at the grand opening scene of Yunxuan, and then looked at his own "Rosewood Pavilion" at the end of the street, and the hatred in his eyes could not be hidden. He calculated for a few years, but after all, he didn't calculate Zhang Caishu, but gave him a chance to befriend King Jing to the Zhang family in vain, can he not hate?

What's more, he spent a lot of effort and manpower, and there were many people lurking, but he never found out the slightest secret about cultivating the "Eighteen Bachelors", and which master was responsible for the monthly special care? Is it the person who saved King Jing's pot of "dotted lips"? Zhao Yufa firmly believes that that person is definitely not Zhang Caishu. To defeat Zhang Caishu, he must find the master of raising flowers, and it is best to dig it up with a lot of money, if he can't, hum, even if he gets rid of it, he can't continue to serve Zhang Caishu.

At this time, in the "VIP Negotiation Room" in the backyard of "Yunxuan", Shu Yao was listening to Princess Jing, Yao Xuelan, Xia Ruoyun, Mother Liu, and a few noble ladies chatting about gossip.

A lady said to Xia Ruoyun mysteriously: "You don't know that your sister-in-law, Second Lady Sima, has been grounded in the Guogong Mansion for more than a month, right?" ”

Seeing Xia Ruoyun's surprised face, even Liu's mother raised her eyes as if asking, and the lady became even more energetic: "Some recent gatherings, she has participated in previous years, but she hasn't seen her this year, saying that she is sick." The cousin of a maid in my house happened to be on an errand in the Anguo Mansion, saying that when she returned from your summer house that day, the second lady Sima was reprimanded by the grandfather and the princess, and then she was directly grounded. I'm afraid that I won't let her come out until the day when the second master of their house marries a flat wife. ”

Mother Liu looked suddenly realized: "I said, why haven't I seen her come to trouble our young master and girl recently, what is so serious, she has been grounded for so long?" ”

The lady chuckled, "What else?" It must be that the emperor didn't give them a post, and the Guogong Mansion is careful that the emperor doesn't want to see them. ”

……

When she returned to the house in the evening, Shu Yao told Jin Xida and Shujie about it, and Jin Xida smiled: "As we expected." Well, after Shujie is on the list, there will be people in the Guogong Mansion who will spread the events of that night little by little, but it has nothing to do with us, we have done our best, and their own mansion is not strict, no way, hahaha. ”

Shu Yao looked at his scheming father-in-law, and secretly scolded himself: "Like the master uncle, he is also a person who can't be messed with, hehe." (To be continued......)
