Chapter 83: The Rice Noodles Problem
Gu Jinxiu looked at Li Mojin, who spoke righteously and awe-inspiringly, the corners of her eyes twitched, and she turned her head and found that Zhao Shenyou was looking at her with aggrieved peach blossom eyes.
Gu Jinxiu blinked her eyes, wanting to make sure if she was dazzled?
At this time, Grand Duke Zhao Shenyou said selflessly:
"Gu Gongzi, you can make one lunch here, and you can also make two, see if you can bring me, I will also follow Brother Li to supervise the repair of the ditch."
Gu Jinxiu thought about it, the relationship between the two is so good, if she makes a portion, Li Mojin will give the food to Zhao Shenyou, will she say that she cooks too little and is not enough to eat, and asks her to send a few more days of lunch on this ground.
The two looked at Gu Jinxiu, whose expressions were changing, and Zhao Shenyou was looking forward to Gu Jinxiu being able to deal with this matter, otherwise he would have to be cheeky to eat again.
Li Mojin said: "Gu Gongzi, when the time comes, you should go and see Master Liu." ”
After being reminded, Gu Jinxiu found that the time was indeed not early, and did not respond to Zhao Shenyou's words, she hurriedly said goodbye to the two of them and ran outside.
Li Mojin's eyes motioned for Li Yi to follow, and Yu Guang saw that Zhao Shenyou was leaving, and said:
"Brother Zhao, I just read the purchase list you gave, and found that there is a place that is not detailed, you come to the study with me to explain and explain."
Zhao Shenyou thought about what would happen if he pretended to be uncomfortable now, but he knew that he had a good plan, and this person must have had a wall ladder, so he followed Li Mojin to the study.
This time, when Li Mojin asked Zhao Shenyou a question, Zhao Shenyou responded slowly, and by the way, he raised a new question.
It wasn't until the time of departure that Li Yi came to report that he should leave for Yanghe to worship the river god, and the two stopped getting along with each other with one question and one answer, got up and walked out.
In the Eastern Xuan Kingdom, when building ditches or city walls, the village chief was responsible for pacifying the people who supervised his village, which was equivalent to a small foreman.
However, this job is easy!
As long as you are repairing the ditch, you can go around from time to time, and you can not go, because there are officers and soldiers on the side to supervise the work.
Therefore, after Gu Jinxiu and Master Liu checked the number of people in the village with the third surname to repair the ditch again, she went to the shop, planning to deal with the matter of the shop and then go to Yanghe to be a "foreman".
As for sacrificing to the river god, it doesn't matter if she's not there.
At this time, it is not yet noon, and there are not many customers in the shop.
Aunt Wang was sitting at the door with her three children making mugwort leaf baba.
For today is the first day of the ditch repair.
Many people inside and outside the city have to respond to the call of the county magistrate, many people go to Yanghe to see the excitement, some people are busy at home, in order to prepare a sumptuous meal for the family building ditches, and some people are weaving straw sandals or sewing clothes at home...... There were only a few elderly people watching.
Gu Jinxiu looked at the mugwort on the small table and in the basket, and saw that someone had packed a piece of rice noodles in a bamboo tube to take away, she thought of an idea and also found a money-making deal for the villagers.
Seeing that Aunt Wang and the four of them saw her, Gu Jinxiu nodded at them, raised her feet and walked towards the shop.
Seeing Gu Jinxiu's appearance, Steward Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said enthusiastically, "Son, you are here." ”
Gu Jinxiu nodded slightly, "Follow me." ”
After she instructed the housekeeper, she walked directly to the small flower hall in the backyard.
Seeing this, Steward Zhu followed closely, and at the same time wondered why Gu Jinxiu suddenly came here.
Gu Jinxiu sat on the main seat, looked at Steward Zhu, and said with a solemn face:
"Zhu Steward, I once said that I made it clear to you about the quality of rice noodles."
Steward Zhu nodded, looked at Gu Jinxiu suspiciously, and thought to himself that there was something wrong with the rice noodles?
Gu Jinxiu didn't sell it, and said directly: "Why don't rice noodles have toughness, and there is a faint rancid taste?" ”
Steward Zhu frowned and shook his head, because of the division of labor, he rarely asked about the kitchen.
Gu Jinxiu asked tightly, "Have you ever cleaned all the kitchen utensils every day?" ”
Zhu Steward said: "Because you said that the kitchen should be kept clean, and every day after the shop closes, Gao and my wife will clean the kitchen once." ”
If it's been cleaned, why is there still a problem?
Gu Jinxiu instructed: "You go to the kitchen now to find me a problem." ”
Zhu the steward received the order and withdrew.
Gu Jinxiu looked at the accounts of these days.
However, after Gu Jinxiu finished reading the accounts, he wished the steward to come back yet.
So she got up and went to the kitchen.
The kitchen opened a window near the hallway.
A table was placed next to the window.
There are side dishes on the table.
On the other side of the table was a pot with bone broth boiling in it.
At this time, a bowl of rice noodles was placed on the table waiting for the guy to deliver it to the front lobby.
Gu Jinxiu's eyes looked around:
Steward Zhu was looking around in the kitchen for problems;
Gao is cooking rice noodles in a casserole;
In the end, his eyes stopped at the osmanthus tree, and the wife of the housekeeper, Qian, was grinding rice with a stone mill.
Gu Jinxiu stepped forward and asked, "Have you ever cleaned the stone mill after using it?" ”
Seeing that it was Gu Jinxiu coming, Qian hurriedly put down the work in his hand and wanted to salute her, Gu Jinxiu said: "No need, you just need to answer my words." ”
Qian said: "Clean once a day." ”
The weather is getting hotter, and the moist rice powder is easy to taste when stored in a stone trough for a long time.
Gu Jinxiu guessed and asked the Qian family to call the Gao family and Steward Zhu over.
After the three of them gathered, Gu Jinxiu pointed to the stone mill and said, "The stone mill is used once a day and cleaned once, if there is not enough manpower, let Ling'er come over to help." There are also rice noodles that have been sold overnight and must not be sold again. ”
The three of them should say "yes", Gu Jinxiu continued:
"When steaming rice noodles, you must pay attention to the heat, so as not to let it lose its flexible and smooth taste, and also to retain the fragrance in the rice noodles. If the heat is over, don't take it out and sell it again, keep it for yourself or give it to the little beggar outside the door. ”
Since they came to work here, Gu Jinxiu has been telling them about health and quality problems, and now that there is a problem, they are very nervous, but fortunately Gu Jinxiu is kind and does not blame them, so the three of them once again respectfully responded with a "yes".
Gu Jinxiu continued: "My shop doesn't sell overnight rice noodles, and I can't sell them for self-consumption or distribute them to the little beggars outside the door. This time, you will not be deducted from your wages, and next time you will deduct double. ”
After that, Gu Jinxiu let the Qian family and the Gao family go to work, leaving the Zhu steward.
"For so many days, you should know a little bit about those little beggars outside the door, if they have a good character, give them a job with food and lodging."
Steward Zhu asked, "Childe wants to expand his business?" ”
Gu Jinxiu said: "They are very idle now, cultivate people, be prepared!" ”
Before entering, she saw a lot of beggars waiting around the corner not far from the left front, she didn't like to raise idlers, she should give them something to do.
Zhu Steward nodded.
From the day the shop opened, the beggars gather here at night to wait for food.
Some will help sweep the floor, some will say thank you, and some will leave after eating...... There are all kinds of beggars, he thought that Gu Jinxiu would always support these people, but it seems that it is not!
After explaining, Gu Jinxiu left the shop and drove the ox cart to the place where the Yanghe River was built......
