Chapter 55: The Steward
In the past few days, in Xi'an City, there is such gossip that there is a local old hat that spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy the house of Yu Tongzhi before, and this local old hat directly took out Sheng Fuxiang's silver ticket, and there was no bargaining at all.
"Really? Yu Tongzhi is beautiful and beautiful, but it is evil, as soon as the new house is built, the eldest son suddenly suffered a catastrophe, the second son actually drank and fell into the river, the third son was killed on the battlefield, and Yu Tongzhi was so old that he was transferred to the capital as an official! It's so wicked! Someone said in disbelief.
"Hey, this is the old hat, buy it without asking about any situation, why is this house empty for so long, no one even dares to ask for five thousand taels of silver! Who dares to cut off children and grandchildren? If I am replaced, I would rather live in a grass hut than this house, and after a hundred years, no one will live in it, so what is the use? The person next to him commented.
"Do you have five thousand taels of silver? I don't think you have 5,000 cents, right? Someone revealed the truth mercilessly.
The person who was hit was just about to refute, only to hear someone on the side break the news, "Do you know the truth, the shopkeeper of Yaxing He has been so sad that he can't eat in the past few days?" ”
"Don't be funny, he sold it for such a high price, and he made five thousand taels of silver at the least, it's too late for him to be happy!" The fire of gossip burned with the man who was hit, and he forgot about the blow he had been hit.
"You know what?" The whistleblower kicked his eyes and said disdainfully: "So a profiteer is a profiteer!" Listening to the subordinates of the He Mansion, the shopkeeper He didn't expect that the old hat would not bargain, and said that it was very cheap. So Shopkeeper He was annoyed that he didn't shout for 20,000 taels of silver at that time. 10,000 taels of silver are missing for nothing! ”
The crowd was speechless and silent for a moment, and some people scolded hatefully: "Profiteer! Black, it's too dark! No wonder you can earn such a big family business! ”
At this time, someone sneered on the side: "Don't envy Shopkeeper He, doing business like him will be unlucky sooner or later!" Do you know who the old hat is? ”
"Who?" Everyone asked curiously.
"The new guerrilla general, he has thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, you say that if he knows that he has been fooled, he will spare the shopkeeper? Xiucai couldn't explain it clearly when he met the soldiers. What a businessman! Wait and see the show! ”
When everyone was secretly thinking about how the shopkeeper would be cleaned up. Someone suddenly came running and shouted: "The palace has recruited people, and the housekeeper and subordinates are recruited." The housekeeper has a monthly salary of ten taels and has experience as a housekeeper. In particular, those who have served in large households are preferred. Sign up, everyone! ”
The crowd seized the messenger. asked: "That Wang family, why are the conditions so good?" ”
"Isn't it the old hat who bought Yu Tongzhi's house, his name is Wang Hu. It's a guerrilla general! The messenger said quickly.
Everyone sighed and said: "This old hat is really rich, it seems that he drank a lot of soldiers' blood!" ”
And some people are starting to think about it, the salary of a housekeeper is so high, and the salary of being a laborer should not be low, right? Yu Fu has never heard of the Kexia people, do you want to try it?
In front of Wang Dalun's new mansion, it was already crowded with people, all of whom rushed first when they heard the news. Sulu looked at the crowd in front of him, and felt more painful and sweaty than facing thousands of enemy troops! Because these people are desperately squeezing forward, shouting loudly, "I'll come first, don't squeeze!" ”
Sulu couldn't stand it anymore, and he shouted, "Don't fucking squeeze!" Listen to me, and those who want to go in for an interview will line up for me! Look at you like you now, you don't even have any rules, who dares to use you! ”
The crowd was quiet for a while, but then they started to crowd and make noise again, and someone shouted, "Fuck, I said don't squeeze in, why are you still squeezing in?" Do you still want to face? Don't you understand first-come-first-served? ”
Sulu was depressed, why didn't these people listen to greetings, Sulu now wanted that the people in front of him were enemies, and then cut them all with a knife!
Just when Sulu was depressed, a group member came out of the door, and he said loudly: "Our young master said that those who do not line up are not allowed to enter the interview, and those who line up will be given five cents each!" ”
Su Lu couldn't help but pout when he heard this, it's only five cents, who will listen to you! Aren't you changing the soup but not the medicine, and it's not an effect that you told me.
But to Sulu's surprise, as soon as they heard about the payment, the crowd began to stop crowding, and they hula lined up, and soon three long lines were discharged. People began to shout: "Send money, send money!" We're in line! ”
Sulu couldn't cry or laugh, these people are too fond of taking advantage of small things, even five cents! He couldn't help but deeply despise these people. But he still said: "The person who applies for the housekeeper goes in first!" The rest is ready to send money! ”
The people who were about to apply for the job of housekeeper were immediately dissatisfied, and they shouted: "Didn't you say that you would pay money, why didn't you have my share?" ”
Sulu's face darkened even more, and he exclaimed, "Are you still applying for a housekeeper for your virtue?" When you apply successfully, you will have ten taels of silver per month, and you won't let go of this little money? ”
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat!" Someone walked up to the person who sent the money, took the money, put it in his pocket, strode into the door, and said as he went: "If you lose the election, at least you haven't worked in vain!" ”
Sulu looked at the man's back, secretly spitted, and said, "As far as you are unproductive, your defeat is certain!" ”
After a while, several people shook their heads and sighed and walked out, but what made Sulu depressed was that the person just now was not among these people. Sulu was puzzled, he called the people on the side, and said, "You look, I'll go in and see!" ”
When Sulu entered the living room, he saw Wang Dalun sitting on the chair in the center and asked the three people in front of him a question: "As a housekeeper, what do you think is the most important thing?" ”
"I think it's important to be loyal! The master can let you help the housekeeper, which proves that he trusts you, so as a housekeeper, you must manage the subordinates well and let the master worry less! A middle-aged man in a green shirt was the first to say.
"Hmmm! Well said, next! Wang Dalun nodded.
"I think the most important thing to be a housekeeper is to think more, check and fill in the gaps for the master, and solve problems for the master." The second man thought for a moment and spoke.
"Yes, yes, next!" Wang Dalun nodded and motioned to the next person to say.
The person who asked for the money just now thought about it, and then said: "I think that as a housekeeper, the most important thing is to know what the master of the Dao is thinking?" ”
Wang Dalun listened and said: "What do I want to know, and then make profits from it?" ”
"Nope! I think that as a housekeeper, we know the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the master, and then we can do things in a targeted manner, the master's preference is our preference, and the host's joy is our joy! The greedy man thought about it and said excitedly.
"Yes, that's good!" Wang Dalun nodded, and then said: "Let me ask you a question, I want to be able to eat the fresh mutton that I just killed at any time, what will you do?" If you are afraid that someone will copy your answers, you can write them down on paper. ”
Hearing Wang Dalun say this, the first person who answered just now immediately took over the pen and paper and began to write, and the second person who answered also began to write when he saw this.
The money-greedy man sneered disdainfully: "I don't need to write, I just said that if you want to eat fresh mutton at any time, it's very simple, kill a sheep every two hours a day, so that it can be fresh at any time." ”
"You're a waste!" The first person who was burying his head in writing the answer raised his head and scolded angrily: "As stewards, how can we do such a ruined thing, we have to be careful for our masters, and don't waste money!" That's what we do! ”
"Duty? What is the duty, our duty is to make the owner happy, if the owner is not happy, we have to find ways to make the owner happy! The greedy man retorted loudly, and then said: "I look at the king, but I am a person with status, can't I even afford this money?" ”
Sulu listened to the words of the greedy man, and his impression of the greedy man was even worse, this guy is purely a scumbag, not only greedy for money, but also demagogic and greedy for enjoyment, really a traitorous villain, Sulu made up his mind and had the opportunity to teach this villain a good lesson.
As the argument continued, the second candidate joined the warband, exclaiming, "It's a waste to do what you do!" If so, what's the use of me waiting? Any person can be a housekeeper, what we have to do is to find out the habits of the master and serve the master well in the first time! ”
"You are just the concept of a small family, the housekeeper of a large family must be able to communicate, be able to do things, solve for the master what he does not want to do, do not want to do, have time to spend money, will waste money is also a qualified housekeeper must have, this is related to the master's face, do you understand?"
The money-greedy man made a gesture that your level was too low, and sarcastically said mercilessly.
"Alright, don't make any noise!" Wang Dalun raised his hand to stop the argument, he pointed to the greedy man and said: "From now on, you are my big housekeeper, managing all affairs, your current task is to quickly enrich this house for me, I need to be able to live the life of a master tomorrow!" ”
"What do you want?" The money-greedy man gets into the role very quickly.
"It's easy! I'm going to enjoy whatever other big families can enjoy, right? Money is not an issue, you can ask him for it! Wang Dalun pointed to the first applicant and said.
"Me? When the bookkeeper? The first candidate pointed to his nose and asked, he thought that if he chose the money-greedy man, he would not have wanted him.
"Well, you are my second housekeeper, in charge of money expenditure, you help me use this money well." Wang Dalun nodded in confirmation.
"What about me?" The second candidate asked hopefully.
"You, you're the third butler, take care of the specific affairs for me, and you can do whatever the two of them tell you to do!" (To be continued......)
