Volume 1 Taibai Dawn Chapter 38 All Men Are Tiger Generals
"Childe, have you really decided to do this" Red Sleeves had a worried look on his face.
"Well, it's decided, Zuixianlou is on the right track, you should be familiar with being a shopkeeper these days, and you can deal with some things, in my absence, you make your own decisions about everything, don't be afraid of making mistakes, but to make mistakes are valuable, let every mistake be able to improve yourself."
Cao Yi paused and continued: "Originally, I wasn't worried that others would steal our stir-fry cooking methods, but now other restaurants in Jiangning City that have signed contracts with us have also learned, and when they go to the blacksmith shop to make iron pots, the confidentiality work is definitely not as good as ours, as long as someone has a heart to check, they can find out." It is estimated that the Shen family or other restaurants will immediately know that the iron pot is the key to cooking stir-fried dishes, and when they get the iron pot and think about it again, presumably this secret will be a secret again. ”
"And then they're probably going to have a price war, uh...... There are more and more restaurants that can cook stir-fried dishes, and they will also get some new ways to eat and new dishes, and they may reduce the price at that time, which is much lower than the price of our Zuixian Building, just to attract customers to the past, when the time comes, you must not panic! Cao Yi looked at the red sleeves and said.
"We still have places that they can't compare, all the guests on our side who have a VIP card, these people are sticky and brand loyalty, well, that is, they believe that we are drunk in the fairy building, and they will not change to other homes before the money in the card is used up. And the level of our waiters and service attitude is far from comparable to other restaurants, although there will still be people to imitate these two aspects. However, our core strength lies in Taibai Drunk and Qinglian Wine. So far, you're relieved at this point, and I'm sure no one will be able to replicate it anytime soon. Although those restaurants that have signed contracts with us also have Taibai Drunk and Qinglian Wine, on the whole, our restaurant still occupies an absolute advantage, and they have a good business, and we have a lot of shares. Cao Yi said with a smile.
"Childe, I'm not worried about this, what I'm worried about is that you go to train alone, you have been served by someone since you were a child, and when you go over there, there will be no one to take care of you, will it be very hard and not good." Redsleeves frowned.
"There's nothing to worry about, I originally went to train and endure hardships in the past, do you still want me to go over there to enjoy it, it's better to go directly to the house" Cao Yi said with a chuckle.
Then Cao Yi asked Red Sleeves to call the other maids over, and in front of everyone, he ordered: "In a few days, I will go to Taibai Villa to stay for a while." In the days when I'm away, you have to listen to the red sleeves for everything, and the red sleeves represent the son and me, you know? ”
"Got it, Childe!" All the maids nodded their heads and said that they knew.
"Anyway, in my absence, you don't have anything to do in Qingyun Pavilion. If there is anything you don't understand, or what positions and things you want to try, tell Red Sleeves, she will carefully consider and arrange for you to a position that suits you or you want to try, do things well, improve your own abilities, I hope that when I come back, you all have obvious progress. Talent, experience and ability to do things are all your own, and it is impossible for anyone to snatch them away with a lifetime, so it is always beneficial to learn more. I also see that you can only be a maid when you are old in the future, and I hope you can seize this opportunity and walk out of a different life path for yourself. ”
After that, Cao Yi specially analyzed and guided each person's personality, strengths, and which aspects have development potential, so that everyone could make it clear which aspects they had advantages in, and they could rely on that aspect in the future, among them, Raider, Musk Yue and Tan Yun were the most talked, one because the warm-up maid took care of the bathing and changing clothes, and the other two were the longest time spent in the study, not that Cao Yi preferred that, he usually had more contact, and naturally understood more, and the more he could analyze and guide.
"Okay, I'll say everything I need to say, in the future, you can find Red Sleeves for anything, Red Sleeves, if you have something, send someone to Taibai Villa to tell Liu Baiqing, and he will tell me." Cao Yi looked at them and said.
The next headache for Cao Yi is how to tell his mother-in-law that last time it had been delayed for almost a month because of the matter of the drunken immortal building, and now it seems that if he goes to Taibai Villa to train again, he will have to take a month, so it seems that his mother-in-law is still a little mysterious.
……
"Yi'er, why do you have time to come back to dine with your mother today?" Mrs. Gao had a happy smile on her face and looked at Cao Yi kindly.
"Uh...... Mother, the child is actually ...... I want to say something to you, but I'm afraid you'll get angry. Cao Yi touched his nose and said weakly.
"Do you want to delay the time to go to Jiangning Mansion again" Mrs. Gao put down her chopsticks, looked at her son, and said lightly. It is said that Zhi'er Mo Ruomu, Mrs. Gao knew what Cao Yi wanted to say when she looked at Cao Yi's demeanor and tone.
"The mother is really wise and clever, and she knows what the child wants to say at once?" Cao Yi smiled flatteringly, and then put the chopsticks and vegetables into Mrs. Gao's bowl like a treasure.
It's a pity that Mrs. Gao didn't eat this set, and she didn't move, she just stared at Cao Yi and said: "Say, what is the reason, as long as what you say is reasonable, my mother will be approved, otherwise you will go to school for me obediently!" ”
"Uh...... Mother...... Our Cao family has been a general for generations, right? Since his grandfather was appointed to the German army, his father was a military general of the Later Han, Later Zhou, and Great Yan dynasties, and later pacified the Later Shu, conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, and established the Jiangnan, and now it is the Northern Expedition to the Liao State. Only then did he win the reputation of "the Cao family is a tiger general". But only when it comes to children, they are weak scholars, and they can't carry their shoulders and can't lift them. So Yi'er thought about spending a month going to Taibai Villa outside the city and Liu Baiqing to learn martial arts, determined to become a person who is both civil and military, and when the time comes, he can also enter the phase and glorify the lintel of Cao's house. ”
Cao Yi said it sincerely, praised his grandfather, father, and eldest brother, and pointed out that only his weak scholar was an outlier in the Cao family, which dragged the family back. He also expressed the lofty goal of wanting to be both civil and military, and to enter the phase. The words made his mother, Mrs. Gao, nod frequently, and she was very happy in her heart.
"Yi'er, you have a lofty goal, and your mother will not stop you, but you have to ensure that you can't lose your homework, and you must give your mother and the Cao family a fame, otherwise our Cao family will really be called a martial arts family...... Mrs. Gao said a little excitedly.
No wonder all the elder brothers have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and their sons inherit their father's business, but when they came to me, they have studied hard since they were children, and they didn't let me practice martial arts, so there was this reason, Cao Yi secretly lined his heart, and hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, mother, the child is now recognized as the first talent in Jiangning, and he will definitely not fall behind in his homework, and he will take the test in the future." ”
"But Jiangning Mansion is over there...... I have to ask my mother to help explain on my behalf. As soon as Cao Yi remembered that if he postponed the time to study in Jiangning Mansion again, Lu Lao's complaining eyes and the nagging of broken thoughts, he suddenly shuddered, and hurriedly said to Mrs. Gao.
"Well, I do want to visit him once in the past few days, entrust Yi'er to him, and let him and Governor Yang take care of him more in the future." Mrs. Gao sandwiched the dishes for Cao Yi and said softly.
"Thank you, mother...... Well? Mother, why do you say that? Cao Yi nodded at first, but later realized that what his mother said seemed to be leaving him, and hurriedly turned sideways and asked.
Mrs. Gao put down the chopsticks in her hand and rubbed Cao Yi's cheek with her hand, and her eyes were full of reluctance: "My mother has been busy taking care of your brother and sister and you in the past few years, but she has very little time to accompany your father. Now that even Yi'er has grown up with your hair tied up, and you have your own ideas, my mother thinks it's time to accompany your father more and be a military wife, he has been fighting in the north and south in the past few years, alone. My mother thought that there were still a few years to live, and it was time to accompany your father. ”
"Mother's ......" Cao Yi originally thought that he had crossed over, and his family feelings for this body might not be too deep, but after more than a year of getting along day and night, he unconsciously had such deep feelings for Mrs. Gao. At this time, he had already regarded Mrs. Gao as his biological mother, although this was the case. Cao Yi also showed his true feelings, and a few tears fell from the corners of his eyes, which made Mrs. Gao also hold Cao Yi's head and cry reluctantly.
After a long while, Cao Yi calmed down, and Cao Yi asked, "Mother, when will you leave to find your father?" ...... formed on the road"
Mrs. Gao held Cao Yi's hand and chuckled: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother has exchanged letters with your father, and he has sent a team of personal soldiers to pick me up, so you don't need to worry about the safety on the road, depending on the time, it is estimated that it will arrive in the next few days."
"Okay, then the child won't go out for the next few days, just stay by his mother's side and accompany his mother well."
