Chapter Ninety-One: Eating Ice Cream
Chapter Ninety-One: Eating Ice Cream
The snow was falling, and there was a foot-thick snow in the patio overnight, and Xu Qing also asked his subordinates to stop cleaning. The snow on the roof melted a lot due to the fire in the house. This kind of weather is not frozen, and thanks to Xu Qing's previous ondol, there is a heating system. When he got up early in the morning, Xu Qing pushed the door and took a look, only to see many curtain-like icicles hanging down from the eaves.
"Hey, everyone, look, it's frozen!"
Xu Qing stood on the corridor on the second floor and looked out, only to see that inside the second and third gates, the maidservants and maidservants had all come out. A crisp greeting also came into Xu Qing's ears, and when he looked over the sound, he saw that the maids and maids were also watching the beautiful scenery. Before the new year, the big guys stepped up their work, and after the small year, the stored processed products allowed everyone to only sit and eat until the beginning of spring.
With leisure, there is ease.
"Where is this called Bingling, this is called Bing Hanging......" A family member stepped forward and showed his knowledge in front of the maidservant.
Who knew that the maids were disgusted and said: "Hey, the name of Binghang is not good......"
"Hey, let's eat ice cream?" The family couldn't attract people because of their knowledge, so they had to be courteous. I saw him take a bamboo pole, stretch it out to the eaves, and gently tap on the root of the ice cream, and the ice cube fell in response. And Na Jiading, as soon as he grabbed it with a flexible body, the ice cream was received in his hand.
The maidservants came over one after another, and the rest of the family saw that this method worked, and they all went to find bamboo poles to make ice cream. For a while, the house on the side of the maid was laughing constantly. The big family where the maids and maids can play together like this, I'm afraid there is only Xu Qing's family.
Xu Qing frowned and remembered something. He was thinking that there were so many people in the family, and many of them had been transported back from Cangzhou, and now this room was becoming more and more insufficient. It is better to choose some subordinates, move out of the county mansion, settle down in the surrounding area, give them fields, or let them go to work in the Xu family's various industries and be a small steward.
The subordinates of the family are divided into two categories, one is selected and sent by the palace when they are sealed. This category, whether life or death, is in the hands of Xu Qing, just like tables and chairs, to put it mildly, these people are house slaves. There is also a category, which is given by outsiders or recruited by the old man Ni Bai at home. This category, most of which are nearby villagers, is considered a long-term worker.
At the beginning, both long-term workers and domestic slaves asked for food and living in the Xu family, but in this way, they occupied too many houses. Xu Qing summoned Old Man Ni Bai and asked him to find the long-term workers in the house, and the non-key positions were dismissed first.
Who knew that Old Man Ni Bai was taken aback, knelt down and said: "Why did the master cut the family, is there something they didn't do well, or they have been lazy these days, it's all the old slave's fault." ”
Xu Qing sighed, helped him up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't lay off people indiscriminately, the main reason is that the rooms in the house are not sufficient." ”
Old man Ni Bai understood Xu Qing's intention of laying off employees, and he was also relieved, he said: "There are many long-term workers in the family, but Duolifu, except for carpenters, can be laid off. In this way, more than 20 people can be reduced. ”
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Yes, with more severance pay, and if the family is really difficult, you can keep one or two, and those who work in the warehouse can also keep one or two good hands." ”
Xu Qing also ordered, don't say that this is what he meant. The advantage of having a housekeeper is that the wicked don't have to do it themselves, and the housekeeper is like a personnel department.
After Ni Bai left, Xu Qing snapped his fingers and said, after going to Changgong, the remaining recruits in the family signed the deed of sale, which was the same as the reward in the palace. There are fifty-three maidservants in the house, and forty-six in the family, and there are more women than men. There are a few beautiful maidservants, who can be close to the body, and the rest can be paired with the family.
The most important place to employ people in Xu Qing's family is the two large warehouses, but the two large warehouses are only employed during the autumn harvest, and the rest of the time, they are just burning fire and preventing moisture. This kind of seasonal work can be solved by asking for a part-time job. The distant industry needs a loyal person as an eyeliner, and if there are two people who have a family, they can be sent out.
Another day, let Xun Xueer and the others go to the maids to inquire about who has a good match, and then investigate the man's temperament and ability, and come to a multi-person wedding a year ago.
While talking, Xun Xue'er and several daughters came together, and looking at their appearance, they coaxed Xu Wen to sleep.
"Wow, that's a lot of ice!" Xu Qi ran in front of the girls and hugged Xu Qing first, but she was the one who could only hug Xu Qing's thighs.
Huang Shimei walked over with a smile and said, "Xu Qi, ask you Xu Qing to hang ice for you to eat." ”
Xu Qi raised his head and looked at Xu Qing expectantly.
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll go get the bamboo pole ......."
He said in his heart that in his time, there were popsicles to eat, and no one ate ice cream. Fortunately, he saw that guy beat him before, otherwise he would really be embarrassed. I saw Xu Qing take the bamboo pole, and also learned from the previous family, stretched it to the root, knocked it, and turned around to pick it up.
"Ping Pong ......"
The ice fell to the ground.
Knock again, drop again, knock again, drop again, Xu Qing drank a sentence, I didn't believe it, but it still fell to the ground.
Xu Qing, who had a black line on his face, knocked down the ice ring of half of the corridor, but he didn't receive one. Xu Qing smiled awkwardly: "Xu Qi, you want to eat ice cream, I'll lift you up, can you go and eat it?" ”
Of course, Xu Qi was unwilling, and hurriedly shook his head. At this time, I saw Huang Shimei pick up a small piece of rubble, throw it up, ping-pong bang, and icicles fell in response. Huang Shimei didn't even look at it, she took it and got the ice in her hand. Then, he gave Xu Qing a look at the expression.
The rest of the women all laughed, Xu Qing also smiled, and then pouted and said, Awesome, so what, isn't it going to be me? I thought that tomorrow it would be Huang Shimei's turn to sleep, dare to provoke me today, and see how I beg for mercy tomorrow!
Huang Shimei gave Xue'er, Xiuxiu, and Xiaoyue ice cream, but Xu Qi was the last to take it, and she didn't eat it, but it was too cold.
At this time, Xu Qing was demented, why, just because the four girls pinched the icicle in their hands, looked at Xu Qing affectionately, and then licked the icicle around it with their tongues, and licked it up and down.
Where is this to eat ice cream? It's a hook!
In fact, the four girls didn't mean to do this, but the icicles were too cold, not like eating popsicles in summer. It's just a few licks, but who knows that in Xu Qing's eyes, it has become that kind of thing. And the so-called affectionate look at Xu Qing is just Xu Qing's mind.
Huang Shimei seemed to notice Xu Qing's strangeness, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she ate the popsicle and went straight into the deep throat!
Xu Qing shuddered, and was busy supporting his waist, tsk, the four wives were still unblessed and couldn't bear it at the same time, and they couldn't stand it when they looked at it.
lowered his head, and saw that Xu Qi seemed to have made up his mind to eat this cold popsicle and open his mouth to lick it. So, Xu Qing's waist hurt even more, and he secretly scolded a group of goblins.
