Chapter 21: I'm going back to Fang's house again
Luoquan Town, Fang's house
The second lady saw that the chef took Luo Qinghe to Lord Jiang's house early in the morning, but she came back before it was dark, and she was a little dissatisfied: "What's the matter?" It's not in the eyes of others! ”
When Luo Qinghe heard this, he secretly sneered and said: How did this kind of emotional intelligence become the Fang Mansion's family?
"No, no, no, this time the old slave wants to congratulate the second lady! As soon as Luo Qinghe went today, he just made two dishes and settled Mrs. Jiang, so Lord Jiang was also very happy! And Mrs. Jiang loves Luo Qinghe very much, and she also thought that Luo Qinghe wanted to serve the old people in the family, so she asked us to come back early, saying that if we have no appetite in the future, we will let Luo Qinghe go back! The chef laughed repeatedly.
The second lady was satisfied when she heard this, and gave Luo Qinghe a good face for the first time: "Qinghe has performed well this time, you should come back to work after the holiday!" ”
"I heard that the Fang Mansion has been in some difficulties recently, so I still don't bother Madame, and when the time comes, let the people over there go to my house to look for me, and now the dim sum shop is open at home again, and it is very busy." Luo Qinghe listened to the second lady's words, but he didn't agree immediately, and complained in his heart:
Why did your second lady drive people away for no reason, and want people to come back but didn't even have an explanation and wanted to fool them? Why is it that everyone is human, who doesn't have self-esteem anymore, why do you want to step on our dignity, but you yourself want to save face?
When the second lady heard this, she was like a mirror in her heart, she originally wanted to fool the past and let Luo Qinghe return to the Fang Mansion, and in the future, Mrs. Jiang would care about it, and their Fang Mansion would also borrow light... But doesn't Luo Qinghe mean that he wants an explanation?
For the sake of interests, the second lady could only grit her teeth, lowered her posture and said: "In the past, I didn't understand things and underestimated you, if you are willing to go back to Fang's house on an errand in the future, you will receive two taels of silver a month!" ”
"Thank you Second Lady for your kindness, but I am still burning the fire in the back kitchen with such a high salary, isn't this taking your money for nothing, and I am really embarrassed!" Luo Qinghe did not retreat.
This girl will also talk about conditions! The second lady was about to have a seizure when she heard it, but now she had to reuse Luo Qinghe, so she could only whisper: "Let others do the work of burning the fire, you will participate in the three meals a day in the back kitchen, if the guests arrive or there is any banquet, you can also help more." ”
"Onyx, you go and change into a second-class girl's clothes for her!"
Luo Qinghe didn't bargain anymore when he heard it. At present, the conditions given by the second lady are already excellent, and it is much easier and more stable to work at Fang's house than selling dim sum in the ice and snow carrying a burden through the streets and alleys.
Onyx got the order and led Luo Qinghe away, but the second lady tried to continue to inquire with the chef about what happened to Mrs. Jiang today, but the chef didn't get into Mrs. Jiang's house, so she only talked about the things outside.
"Madam, look, Mrs. Jiang also rewarded a lot of good things! These satin fresh fruits and mountain treasures are all good, and they are worth their money! ”
The chef was also shameless, and when she received the reward, she clearly said it to Luo Qinghe, but Luo Qinghe was sensible and confiscated it, but she accepted it privately and brought it back to the Fang family to show off.
The second lady thought that it was a reward for Fang Mansion, so she happily accepted it, and picked two dark cotton cloths that did not suit her own wishes and threw them to the chef and said, "This reward is for you and Luo Qinghe!" ”
The chef hurriedly took it, and seeing that the second lady was still in a good mood, she also wanted to learn from Luo Qinghe to bargain with her: "Second lady, since Luo Qinghe has gone to cook, the back kitchen is not manpower......
"Not enough people? What did the kitchen do when Luo Qinghe didn't come? ”
The chef didn't expect the second lady to be polite to her, so she said stubbornly: "But after a Aunt Zhou, Luo Qinghe stopped burning the fire again, and the old slave was also a little embarrassed......
"Embarrassed?! Do you think I'm stupid? Aunt Zhou was originally a lazy eater, does it make a difference whether she has her or not? What's the matter, you also want to negotiate terms with me?! The second lady was originally dissatisfied with the increase in silver for Luo Qinghe, and now this evil fire is also looking for an outlet:
"I'm telling you, if you don't have the ability to take care of the back kitchen, you can go as far as you can to make room for good people!"
When the chef heard where she dared to speak, she could only leave, but she didn't expect Luo Qinghe, who had finished receiving the clothes, to hear the words in the house at the door.
"Qinghe, the chef has always been a cautious person, don't spread what you heard just now!" Onyx kindly mentioned.
Luo Qinghe nodded and thanked him, and said in his heart: I heard that the second master has never accepted a concubine, and so far there is only one son, Brother An, who was born by the second lady, it seems that the second lady is really difficult to get along with, and this agate is probably not less wronged under her hands.
The enemy's omission is my chance! Luo Qinghe smiled: It seems that if you need it in the future, you can develop agate... However, you can't be as eager as last time, you need to be cautious and cautious in the future!
Luo Qinghe said a few more words to Onyx before saying goodbye and going home. But as soon as she left, Onyx sighed heavily and said: This month, when Niang was angry in Fangfu, there was a girl who stood out for her, but she was no longer a yellow flower girl, and it was impossible to marry, but if she has been so nameless and shareless, and she doesn't even have a child, who will she rely on when she gets old in the future......
Onyx shook his head and didn't want to think about it anymore, but just as he was about to turn around and go back, he suddenly saw a maid sneaking into the second lady's room with a small servant, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing!" ”
"Sister Onyx, it was the second lady's request." The maid was startled and hurriedly whispered.
Agate took a look through the moonlight, but found that this person was the little guy next to Fang Shaoze, Wuwen.
I saw Wuwen hunched over and laughing, and Agate understood at a glance: such a traitor seeking glory is really disgusting! But he didn't say much, turned around and left.
After Wuwen slipped into the house, he told Fang Shaoze about helping that day, and the second lady was relieved when she heard it.
Fortunately, Fang Shaoze and Luo Qinghe did not collude in private, but they just happened to meet.
But this young master has never heard anything outside the window, but he is the only one who is so attentive to Luo Qinghe...... When the second lady thought about this, she felt uncomfortable again.
I have always seen that Fang Shaoze is not pleasing to the eye, and I don't like Luo Qinghe, but now these two thorns in the flesh seem to have a good relationship, which really pierces the second lady with a nail.
It's funny, and I don't know what this matter has to do with the second lady, but she gritted her teeth and only thought about how to harm Luo Qinghe so that she could be angry for herself.
"Okay, I know about this, you take the reward and go back!" The second lady threw Wuwen a few ingots of silver and wanted him to go out.
"Second lady, the slave admires the second lady very much in his heart, if you don't dislike it, the slave is willing to come and serve Brother An!" Wuwen was unwilling, and hurriedly knelt down and said sincerely.
"Your mother is the fourth lady's dowry maid, if you know that you don't like to follow your young master, wouldn't you be angry?"
"Madam, as the old saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and the slave sees that Brother An will definitely be a prosperous person in the future, so he wants to ask the second lady to give the slave a chance; Moreover, the two young masters are the masters of the Fang family, and I am a slave of the Fang family who serves them, and my mother will not say anything! Wuwen hurriedly said.
"I didn't think you were a clever tooth too! But I already know about it, so you can go first! The second lady smiled.
As soon as Wuwen heard that there was hope for this, he quickly took the silver and thanked him again and again before withdrawing.
"Hmph, this traitor wants to be honored and profit-forgetful, and he still wants to come to my brother's side on an errand, I'm bah!" When Wuwen went out, the second lady disdained.
At this time, Luo Qinghe took out a pink purse from his sleeve after returning home. This purse was quietly given to her by Mrs. Jiang, because she was in charge of the kitchen, Luo Qinghe didn't take it out, but only opened it when she got home.
Luo Qinghe opened his mouth and poured it, only to see three silver ingots of more than one or two falling on the table, and the second elder of the Wang family and Yueniang were very happy when they saw it: Now Yueniang and Luo Qinghe don't have to go through the wind and snow to sell.
"You have a monthly salary in the Fang family, which can be used to support the family. The rest of the money and the silver, my mother will save it for you as a dowry! At present, there is hope in our family's life, and my mother still continues to sell dim sum at home to help your grandfather, so that they can have something to do and have a place in their hearts. Yueniang smiled and hid the silver in the cupboard.
Dowry?! Luo Qinghe said in his heart: I haven't agreed to this marriage yet, why did I discuss the marriage? That's it, anyway, this thing can't be done in a day or two, and the atmosphere is so good today, so I don't want to spoil the fun.
"Mother, now that I have a salary, you don't have to do this business! And now that the weather is bad, will anyone want to come here to buy snacks? Luo Qinghe changed the subject.
"Don't worry, my mother knows it!" Yueniang smiled proudly, and hurriedly told Luo Qinghe about her achievements.
It turned out that when she walked the streets and alleys to sell dim sum in the past two days, many people felt that the dim sum made by Yueniang was clean and delicious, the price was affordable, and the service attitude of the mother and daughter was excellent, so Yueniang took the opportunity to say the address of her home, and said that no matter how much you buy, you are welcome to ask.
And when the shopkeeper saw that the New Year was about to end, all the restaurants, restaurants, theaters, gardens and other things were going to open, so he suggested that Yueniang go to discuss with those shopkeepers, and add the name of Wang's dim sum to the recipe, and if it was sold at that time, he would give the shopkeeper three points of profit.
Yueniang listened to the advice of the shopkeeper Wang, and went to Zheng Damiang first, this Zheng Damiang is kind and generous, and immediately agreed to Yueniang's request, and said that Yueniang can sell it directly here, without giving silver.
Luo Qinghe listened to Yueniang and the second elder of the Wang family happily talk about today's achievements, and then let them continue to do things with Zhang Luo's shop.
