The tea house opened
"Why are you here?" Ji Yue now has no strength to cry anymore, watching the prince who is usually so attentive to herself turn her head and leave like this, she has lost all her face, since Ji Mi wants to humiliate her, then come.
Ji Mi found a good place to sit down, and called her to sit beside her, "Are you tired?" Her question was ambiguous, and Ji Yue couldn't understand it.
"You've been against me like this, you're not tired." She poured a cup of tea for Ji Yue, and Ji Yue sat down with a smile.
For the first time, the two sisters sat together calmly like this, there was no intrigue, only the years were quiet. Both of them are beauties, even if Ji Yue is now crawling there quietly and honestly with a big king on her face, she can't stop her fairy appearance.
"Why don't you get tired." took a sip of tea, put down the teacup in his hand, pinched the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and continued: "I didn't expect the prince to be a straw bag who pays attention to skin. She felt uncomfortable in her heart, Bai Yanshu saw the painting on her face just now, her face immediately changed, and from that moment on, she drew the prince out of her heart.
But she couldn't help it, she was already his. Ji Mi let go of her past grievances and persuaded her sincerely, "Isn't being my sister more majestic than being a queen?" ”
Ji Yue just wanted to reply to her that there was nothing to be majestic about being your sister, but when she thought of Chiyo Mu with fairy posture and jade bones, her words became, "It's come to this point, I have no way out." ”
The woman sighed, the tea in the tea bowl had slowly bottomed out, Ji Mi added some water to her and herself, and the two stopped talking and sat opposite each other for half an hour, and finally Ji Mi still gave up letting her fight with herself.
"Take care, sister." When Ji Mi walked to the gate of the courtyard, he turned his head and said this to Ji Yue, and when Ji Yue looked down at the tea, he found that the Wang Ba on his face was gone.
Thank you, but I can't reconcile with you, I've been... There is no turning back.
There has been no news of Chiyomu for several days, and Ji Mi is becoming more and more worried, nothing will happen, in case Sakura secretly uses some shady means, then Zixun is not dangerous.
Alas, this is not good, she loves to think crankily when she is idle, and she doesn't know where to develop a stinky problem.
"Why don't you take advantage of the opening of my little teahouse in the next few days?" Ji Mi pondered in her heart, and she also took action on her feet and went straight to Pan's Mansion to do business, so she naturally had to consult her seniors.
I haven't seen Ji Mi for a long time, and the corners of Pan Changning's mouth are almost to the root of his ears, "Sister-in-law, why are you here, my brother is busy with official business again?" Ji Mi wasn't sure if Chiyo Mu had already told them about it, but it was better to think about it than to have more, so he didn't mention that he went to find the atlas, saying that it was perfunctory when he was busy with government affairs.
Businessmen are often the most keen, and Ji Mi's eyes were not right to see Pan Changning early on, but she didn't want to say more and didn't ask more, but Pan Changning didn't think about it anywhere else, and thought it was an awkward quarrel between the two of them.
"I said I'm going to open a teahouse, do you remember?" Of course Pan Changning remembered Miss Ji Mi's words, not only did he remember rubbing his legs to Ji Mi's side, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about leaving it to me, you say, what style you want, I will immediately buy it." ”
Ji Mi likes to be elegant and quiet, so Pan Changning began to order someone to decorate according to what she said.
With Pan Changning personally urging, Ji Mi was very relieved, and after a few days, Pan Changning came to her with drawings and workers, "Sister-in-law has made it for you, come with me to take a look?" ”
"Okay, let's go and see." The teahouse is not big, because it is opened by two shops, and the inside is spacious and transparent, and Pan Changning was afraid that her business would be too good to repair the second floor.
One by one, he followed her and introduced, "Look, this is an ordinary seat, and there is a private room over there." Ji Mi looked at the direction he pointed, ho~ Even the door is not a grade, and there is a small wooden sign hanging next to the door of the private room.
The matter of the teahouse is solved, Ji Mi now has to think about where to find the dim sum master and tea cooking master in the teahouse, as for the shopkeeper of the store, there are honest people in her house who are good at business, which is not troublesome, but to make this the best teahouse in Beiyue, the two masters not only have good craftsmanship, but also have followers.
Why don't you dig up the master of Changning Building? No, the price of the master there is not low, her teahouse is for the public, if you use the master of Changning Building, the price is definitely not acceptable to ordinary people.
She wants to take the people-friendly route, as long as she wants to, it is not impossible to lose money and make money, alas, forget it, take one step at a time, you can always find a craftsman.
"How long does my sister-in-law plan to open?" Ji Mi gave this person a big look, she hasn't found the master yet, what kind of business is she, is she herself the running hall and the back kitchen?
Forehead... Pan Changning really didn't expect this stubble, "Why don't I find it for my sister-in-law?" ”
Ji Mi doesn't want his people, the decoration is already up to him, and she has to do the rest by herself, especially for such a big thing as employing people, Pan Changning is a lesson from the past, she doesn't want her subordinates to be as powerful and graceless as the shopkeeper in the store last time.
She designed the plaque herself, now as long as she finds someone to make it, she ordered someone to take down the plaque that has been hung, and after a few days she found a good carpenter to do it and then hang it, the name is - Tea House! You can see what it is doing at a glance, and it is not so flashy, ordinary people know that they can afford it at a glance.
"Use a plain color here, and look at this leaf, the color is too bright, no, it's not right, change it for me." The carpenter revised the plaque over and over again under the command of Ji Mi, which was really the most troublesome job he had ever taken on in his life.
The carpenter listened to Ji Mi's reprimand with a stomach full of anger, not that Ji Mi wanted to trouble him, but that this carpenter's work was really poor, not to mention that it was completely different from the drawings he designed, and it was extremely perfunctory.
She pursues the ultimate meticulousness and has always believed that slow work produces meticulous work. She should have thought of it yesterday when she heard the carpenter promise that the work would be delivered in one day.
But this carpenter is very arrogant, he has always done this, he has never heard anyone say that he does not work well, today it is planted in the hands of this woman, but with so much money from others, he can't smash his own signboard.
At this time, a white-headed old man came in on crutches, "Ahem, cough... Junko, what's going on with your face, how can you receive guests when you're so unhappy. As soon as he came in, he saw Ji Mi next to the carpenter Junko who kept making requests, "This young lady, what happened to my little apprentice?" ”
Ji Mi handed over the drawings in his hand to the master to see, "Look, old man, what I want is this effect, you can see what he made for me." ”
The old man glanced at the plaque that had not been completely planed, turned around with a low sigh, and leaned over to apologize to Ji Mi, "I'm really sorry Miss." He turned his head and smashed the drawings in the apprentice's face and shouted at him, "Look at it! Someone's request, look at the plaque you made, is it the same? ”
Junzi was frightened by the master's angry reprimand, picked up the drawings on the ground and hurriedly apologized to Ji Mi, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss, I'll change it for you immediately." But there is still only a little sincerity, the old man looked at his unsuccessful apprentice, and squeezed him away, "My signboard is going to be destroyed by you!" ”
The master personally handled the planer, and the wood chips planed out were as light as tulle, but they kept on a little, Ji Mi saw his posture and recognized in his heart, this is the real strength of the old carpenter.
"If it weren't for the fact that my son didn't love the carpenter's business, where would it be your turn!" He was really disappointed that the carpenter's trade, which had been passed down from his ancestors for generations, would not have been taught to outsiders if his son's generation had not been interested at all.
Ji Mi was very interested in him, moved a stool and sat next to the old carpenter, "Master, what does your son do?" ”
When it came to his son, the old carpenter was annoyed and helpless, "He, he has been delicious since he was a child, he likes to study pastries and all kinds of dishes, and he wanted to train him, but he really doesn't like the carpenter's business, so he won't force him, I just don't know if I can have the face to see my ancestors and ancestors after I die." Having said this, the old carpenter still did not diminish the kindness and gentleness around him when he mentioned his son, and although he did not like his son's work as a cook, he still respected him.
It's hard to see in this place. When Ji Mi heard it, isn't this what she wants?! A pastry chef who likes to delve into the way of cooking really didn't have to work hard at all, and the anger that was offended by the carpenter Junko is now gone.
But what if someone is already working for another restaurant, then they will be wronged and disappointed, no matter how much! As long as the strength is strong enough, dig the corners of the wall!
"Master, where is your son doing things now?" She asked cautiously, lest a word that would frighten her from the old carpenter's mouth.
But if it weren't for Ji Mi's luck, when the old carpenter heard this, he simply didn't plank the wood, put down the tools at hand and pulled a chair to sit and chat with Ji Mi, "That stinky boy, I get angry when I mention him." "The appearance of blowing a beard and staring at his eyes is alive, a proud and cute little old man.
"Ho~ Master, you might as well talk about it."
"He's stubborn. insisted on using the best raw materials, because this matter often fell out with the shopkeeper, and now he spends all day at home tossing his plates and bowls, and does not go out to look for things, he said, he wants to find a shopkeeper who takes the lives of the people seriously. "But in this world, it's not easy to find a store like this, and the store also has to do business, and often ignores a lot of things in order to make money.
This is too coincidental, Ji Mi thought to herself, she just came what she wanted, she excitedly grabbed the old carpenter's hand and thanked him, the old carpenter was at a loss by her sudden abnormality.
Ji Mi explained to him: "My new shop is sending a responsible pastry chef, master, my shop is on Xiulan Long Street, I'll take you to see it in a while, and then you let your old son do things for me?" ”
It's good, but the old carpenter didn't dare to guarantee that his stubborn son would agree, and he didn't dare to agree to her just like that.
But Ji Mi had to make him promise himself, and the old carpenter was embarrassed, "Okay, I'll try." He could only try to persuade his son that he had inherited nothing but stubbornness and death from himself, and offended many people for this.
The old carpenter can cope with it, which is the biggest good news for Ji Mi, she still sits on the side and waits for her plaque to be changed, this time the carpenter Shunzi no longer cuts corners, concentrates on making it for her, and the old carpenter has to drink tea with her when he is free.
The next day, the old carpenter brought a sturdy young man to her house, "Miss Mi." Ji Mi greeted the two with a smile, and said that the old carpenter was polite, what Miss Mi, just call Ah Mi.
Ji Mi and the young man looked at each other, this man looked honest, he didn't look bad, and he was so strong that he didn't look like a chef or a fist and foot master.
"This is Delin, the dog." He had already told Ji Mi that his surname was Chen, and Ji Mi looked at the man in front of him with satisfaction, "Very good, very good, Master Chen, you have solved a big problem for me, I can't hide it, I don't lack anything in my store, but there is a tea master and a dim sum master, and now I will send a tea master." ”
In his words, Chen Delin had already been designated as the pastry chef of his tea house, but Chen Delin said up, "Wait, wait, I have to ask you a few more questions before that." ”
The old carpenter struck him on the knee with a cane, "Presumptuous." Miss gives you a chance, what attitude do you have. Ji Mi smiled and said it doesn't matter, she admires this kind of straightforward person, maybe the words are not good, but the words are true, it is a lot better than those flattering villains.
Chen Delin didn't give in, and he didn't see his knees bend a little when he hit him with a cane, "I have my principles." If you are the kind of shop that cares about the people's health in order to make money, then I will forgive my fate. ”
"Good." Ji Mi sat next to them and didn't choose to take a seat, "I assure you, my Ji Mi's shop will never allow cutting corners to deceive customers, I pursue being at home and bringing everyone high-quality enjoyment at the lowest price." She dared to guarantee that as long as her tea house appeared, it would definitely be the tea house with the lowest price and the highest quality in Jeonbuk Month.
Not only that, Ji Mi also said: "I will also open a soup kitchen next to my teahouse to help beggars and poor people from all walks of life." Chen Delin also admired Ji Mi, her eyes sparkled when she spoke, and he could feel that this woman was not deceiving him.
The two quickly reached a consensus that Ji Mi was willing to hire him with a salary fifty percent higher than that of Su Xiangzhai, but the premise was that he would make a few pastries for her to taste first, and he would pay such a high price, so he couldn't find a master who was actually not so powerful.
It's fifty percent higher than crispy incense? The old carpenter blinked, the master of the crisp and fragrant Zhai, the minimum salary a month is also forty taels, if it is the chief master, it is really not necessarily, Ji Mi is actually willing to hire his son at a price fifty percent higher, what an honor.
Soon Chen Delin took out a plate of jujube paste cake and pea yellow and put it in front of Ji Mi, although it was a very ordinary snack, but the jujube paste crisp he had added and improved, and mixed in a little rose sauce, not only the fragrance of jujube paste, but also the aroma of roses, the puff pastry was clearly layered, and the lips and teeth were fragrant when he bit it, Ji Mi ate a piece, and gave a piece of laurel orchid and Chang'an, the old gentleman also ate the dim sum made by his son, this is the first time he ate the dim sum he made, I have to say that his son really can, It was right for him to let him choose what he liked.
The pea yellow melts in the mouth, is sweet and refreshing, and is also decorated with green leaves of bean sprouts, which looks cute and refreshing. Ji Mi admired his craftsmanship, and finalized this person after eating, "It's you, the pastries are so delicious." Originally, she liked sweets, but now that there is such a master, maybe half of the business of Cha Xiaoju at the end of the day is contributed by her Ji Mi.
"Your craftsmanship is so good, so let's sign the deed of business now, and I will pay you a hundred taels a month. But you may have to work a little harder, because the master is just you, but I'll find you a few to start with. "One hundred taels! The old carpenter has been a carpenter all his life, and his income is just a drop in the bucket, and now he hears that his son is one hundred taels a month, how can he not be excited.
Chen Delin was much calmer than him, and nodded casually to indicate that he agreed with her.
In this way, the pastry chef has found it, and there is still a master who cooks tea, which is not easy to find, this northern month, some people love to drink the tea brewed with tea leaves covered with tea bowls, but some have many requirements, and they are not willing to drink this kind of brewed tea, but they want to drink the kind of water boiled in a kettle to order tea, and pursue perfection.
But this kind of ordinary people can't afford to drink, so Ji Mi is looking for this tea master for those rich dignitaries.
But it's not that easy, but now that the pastry chef has it, the shop can be opened first, and as for the tea, use the tea leaves to make it first, and the rest will be talked about later.
Ji Mi is an anxious person who knows her well, and the next day after finding Chen Delin, she opened the tea house, "Welcome everyone to the front of the tea house, it's not that I'm Ji Mi complacent, I have the best pastry chef in the whole north moon here, no less than the top master of Crispy Xiangzhai, but now because I haven't found a tea master, so now there is only tea brewed with tea leaves." Opened today, welcome to enjoy the free snacks we offer. ”
If you want to have a good reputation, you must let people taste it first, and you can come often if it is delicious. As soon as he heard the word free, all the people who were hesitant to go in crowded in, including some gentlemen, Ji Mi saw that human nature was so fragile in front of free, and his contempt for these rich children was even worse.
Isn't it a shame to have to grab food with some ordinary people even if you have a lot of money.
"In addition, I will open a soup kitchen next door, which is dedicated to helping the poor beggars. Everyone has a lot of support, if there is a surplus at home that can be donated to help people in need, ordinary people can donate a thing to get a letter written by my Ji Mi, and if you need help in the future, you will take the letter to my Ji Mansion, and I will do my best to help everyone. ”
She didn't mention what benefits the eunuch family would get if she donated something, and she didn't dare to say that as long as you donate something, you can get your own help, in case there is any promotion to the knighthood and rescue relatives in prison, even if she can do it, she will not promise, isn't this ruining the reputation of Chiyomu's hard work.
Even if Ji Mi said that today's dim sum and tea were free, there were still many people who were shy and afraid to enter outside.
Seeing this, Ji Mi hurriedly asked Xiao Er to welcome them in, "I said, it's free today, and it's all counted on my Ji Mi's head." If you like to eat and drink, you will come again, and if you don't like me, you don't force it. Chen Delin came out and saw that the dim sum he made was appreciated by so many people, and the depression that Huai Cai had not encountered in the past few years all dissipated.
As Ji Mi said, she pursues fresh and clean ingredients, and the source must be traceable, otherwise it will not be used at all, which is in line with his request, and he is willing to work here.
