Chapter 106: To Each His Own Heart
On November 15, the steamed bun workshop of Shuiyue Temple.
Although it was already cold, many people still came today to receive handout steamed buns.
The open space in front of us was already full of people, and people were coming one after another.
Near the side of the workshop, a noodle table was opened, and the large cage drawer on it was still steaming, which was a steamed bun that had just come out of the pot.
More than a dozen archers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are maintaining order.
These soldiers were specially sent by Jia Rui to find Qiu Liang and maintain order.
The people in the back were a little chaotic, some people wanted to cut in line, and some people were slow to start, noisy and constantly complaining. There were also a few scoundrels, wandering back and forth, making a heckle from time to time.
The soldiers, with their whips, went over and shouted for a while, and the people honestly lined up and shut up.
Qiu Liang rode a horse, rushed over with two soldiers, and whipped down with a whip on his head and face, and the scoundrels cried wolf howls, fled in embarrassment, and soon ran away without a trace.
If there were no soldiers to maintain order, it would probably turn into an incident of looting steamed buns today.
Jarry didn't want such a tragic event.
At first, Miaoyu still didn't agree to find soldiers.
She felt that she was giving, and that all who came should have a grateful heart, a pious heart, and as long as the nuns said a few words gently, everyone would be honest and obedient to their commands.
As it turned out, she was naΓ―ve in her thinking. Fortunately, Jia Rui didn't listen to her, otherwise she might have turned out to be a mess now.
At this time, Miaoyu, Daiyu, Baochai, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Li Kun and their maids and mothers were standing behind to watch the excitement.
Of course, Baoyu was also indispensable.
One of Qiu Liang's subordinates stood by their side to prevent anyone from coming to disturb these little masters.
They were able to come here because of Jia Rui.
The ancestor talked to Jia Rui and asked Jia Rui to teach Mandarin Duck how to cheat in poker, and Jia Rui mentioned the matter of giving steamed buns today.
The ancestors said that this is a good thing to accumulate good deeds, and praised it greatly. said that the girls were all shut up in the house, so he asked Li Kun to take them here to relax.
"One person gives ten steamed buns, which is not enough to eat for a day, it's too picky."
A woman in her forties said.
After receiving the steamed buns, they all passed by Miaoyu and them, and some people talked about it.
"Yes, their steamed buns are jar by cylinder, and two carriages came just now and pulled away a lot. Said that it was brought to the city to sell for money. β
"Since you sell it for money, what do you say about charity."
Someone else complained.
"Hey, you have a good conscience. This is a business, don't you sell it for money? You don't have enough steamed buns for you? Get lost! β
The soldiers next to him scolded for a while, and a few people left obediently.
Two more people came, and one of them gave the steamed bun to the other.
"You take it for me, I'll go to the queue and get another one."
"I said Li Sheng, don't take it. You get a share here, your daughter-in-law gets a share, and you're not satisfied? β
"I've met this time for so many years, maybe I'll be able to catch up with the Year of the Monkey in the future, but after this village, there won't be that shop."
This guy named Li Sheng went to line up again.
After a while, he came back dejected, and his padded jacket was whipped away.
"What's wrong?"
"It's really unlucky, so that people will recognize it and call it back."
"Then let's go, people are kind to charity, don't be dissatisfied. They all told you to take it home, and what else did others receive? β
Looking at this scene, Miaoyu shook her head again and again.
"How can these people be like this, they are kind enough to give them alms, but they are not satisfied, and they want to play some tricks to deceive us."
"Miaoyu, there's nothing strange about this, there are always some greedy people in the world."
Daiyu is no longer surprised, she feels that these people are already good compared to those people in her family.
"Alas, there are some people everywhere, and they are not like big families like us, who have been educated since childhood."
Baochai said.
"Originally, I thought they would be grateful to Dade, but I didn't expect them to be such people."
"Miaoyu, don't be sad, such people are a minority after all, and more people are still good. It's also their pity that they will be like this. Forget it, let's not wait here, how about going to your workshop? β
Baoyu said.
"Okay, I've wanted to go in and have a look, Miaoyu, lead us over."
Tanchun came over, pulled Miaoyu, and walked towards the workshop.
"Ouch, Miaoyu, it's so warm in this room."
As soon as I entered the operation room, I felt a hot breath rushing to my face, and Yingchun couldn't help but say.
"There is a wall of fire here, it is Brother Rui's idea, there is a fire to steam steamed buns over there, and the wall of fire is hot here, go over and take a look."
Then they went to the wall of fire, stretched out their hands, and touched it, and it was indeed hot.
"The walls here are all whitewashed and you can see how clean they are. And this roof is also newly laid. β
"This ground is all green bricks, and there is no mud when there is water. This is all Big Brother Rui's idea. β
Miaoyu took a bite of Brother Rui's, and kept introducing.
"Hey, come here."
Baoyu shouted, and everyone hurriedly gathered.
"Miaoyu, what does this health management system mean?"
Baoyu asked, pointing to a piece of paper taped to the wall.
"It's literal. Didn't you understand everything? When you enter this room, you have to change your clothes. It is necessary to wash hands before going to work in order to prevent illness from entering the mouth. When you cook food for others, you have to be clean. β
Just look at the system on the wall, there are personal hygiene requirements, take a shower once every ten days, wash clothes for a few days, when to clean the face table, how to clean the floor, etc.
"These have to be memorized by craftsmen, and there are operating procedures, fire prevention systems, warehouse systems, etc., all of which are the handiwork of Brother Rui."
When Daiyu saw it, her heart fluctuated a little.
Miaoyu used to look down on Brother Rui, but now she is doing business in partnership with Brother Rui, and it hasn't been long since she has been talking about Brother Rui one by one, and she seems to admire Brother Rui very much.
She has always been arrogant, and there is no one in her eyes, what kind of ecstasy soup did Brother Rui pour into her that made her change so much.
Brother Rui is really, obviously he has partnered with me in business, so why bother to partner with her.
If you want to do business in the capital, come to me, it's not like I don't have money.
Inexplicably, Daiyu was a little unhappy.
When I listened to Miaoyu again, I felt that she seemed to be deliberately showing off.
Baochai knows how to do business, and when she looks at today's charity scene, combined with Jia Rui's advertisement, she understands Jia Rui's marketing intentions today.
According to Miaoyu, she also settled the score.
10,000 steamed buns, but the capital of seven or eight taels of silver, the whole city suddenly knew the steamed buns of the Mantou Temple.
Except for the free gifts, more than 40,000 steamed buns were sold at once today, and this capital will be earned.
Today's 10,000 steamed buns are very worthwhile.
In terms of business, Brother Rui is also a master.
This time when he returned to the south, whether it was the affairs of the Lin family or the affairs of the old mansion, he dealt with them, and the old ancestor was very satisfied with what he did.
Among these people in the Jia family, there is no second one who can do things like him.
This man has a great future in the future, and maybe he will be used at any time. It seems that it would be better to have more contact with him.
