Chapter 924: Courier Brother
Over there, Wang Yongzhu took Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zhang, as well as Imperial Doctor Du, who got off the car behind, to the stands together.
This position was brought by Song Chongjin a few days ago.
The stands are divided into two floors, and for many years of dragon boat races, all kinds of colors are complete.
There is a stove for boiling tea and hot snacks below, as well as a clean room, and a place for the servants to rest, all of which are separated by wooden boards one by one, so that they will not be confused.
Above is a large flower hall separated by walls on three sides, facing the river, which is built like a terrace for people to watch the game.
The large flower hall is also divided into several small halls by a half-height wooden fence, each with a table, and at the back of the flower hall is a cubicle for changing guests' clothes.
Outside such stands, each of these flower halls is separated from each other by wooden railings.
The stand they were assigned to was the first from the left.
Wang Yongzhu was very satisfied.
came in and took a look, and asked Imperial Physician Du, Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Zhang to sit on it, and she went down to instruct Mrs. Wu and them to work.
Mrs. Qi couldn't stay idle, so she dragged Mrs. Zhang and followed, leaving Imperial Doctor Du alone on it, looking at the river in a daze.
There is a stove underneath, but there is no charcoal.
But on the way here, they saw that near this stand, there are many small businesses, all of which serve this stand.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wu went out for a while, and brought in two vendors, one carrying a basket of charcoal and the other carrying a load of water.
Seeing Wang Yongzhu coming over, Mrs. Wu explained: "We all need water for boiling water, although it is close to the river, but there are many people today, and this water may not be clean." I saw that there was a water seller outside, and I asked, it is the famous Mengquan water in our Jing County, which was picked down from the mountain early in the morning, and it is the most suitable for making tea. So he brought the generals to the people on his own initiativeβ"
When Wang Yongzhu heard this, he nodded again and again: "Aunt Wu, you think about it very much, I can't think of it for a while, you all help you comprehensively." β
Mrs. Wu put her mind at ease, she also saw that Wang Yongzhu was not such a petty master, and thought that it was a major event for the main family today, if it was done well, the main family would have a good reputation in the future, if it was done badly, I was afraid that if the main family wanted to enter this circle in the future, it would take a lot of twists and turns.
Now that she is a member of the Song family, she naturally has to think about the main family, the main family is good, and they have the face to be subordinates, right?
Mrs. Qi over there saw it in her eyes and nodded secretly, although this Yongzhu and the sister of the Zhang family don't know much about this, the mother-in-law who bought this is a good one, and she is willing to think about the main family.
That's good, when people are masters, they can do whatever they need, as long as the people below can, they can tribal the people below.
Mrs. Qi looked around, seeing that although she was busy, she was busy but not chaotic, and she also brought a maid over, and she also supported her to help watch.
Looking left and right, there was nothing to do, so he simply pulled Mrs. Zhang up.
Wang Yongzhu first asked the coachman to go back to pick up Mrs. Li and her family, and at this moment, he saw that the stalls outside below were all complete in color, some sold charcoal, some sold water, and some sold flowers, and sold all kinds of pastries and food.
There are also a lot of neatly dressed teenagers, all of whom are waiting nearby, and these are all specialized in running errands.
If the nobles in the stands need something, they will order their subordinates, and the subordinates will call these errand boys to buy them back, and then give a few big bucks, and the errand boys are also happy, and the people are also happy.
At this time, Wang Yongzhu only looked at the door, and the clever one came over: "What do you have to say?" β
Wang Yongzhu was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, isn't this the ancient courier brother? Intra-city express!
After thinking about it, he said, "Buy me two fresh bouquets of flowers." β
"Okay!" The boy bowed down and listened, and without striking a single one, he turned and trotted away.
Wang Yongzhu was dumbfounded, what are you in a hurry? I haven't given the money yet!
Mrs. Qi's maid on the side said with a smile: "Don't worry about them, Xiucai lady, they are ghostly, they are familiar with those vendors, so they can naturally take things first and pay later." β
Only then did Wang Yongzhu understand that he suddenly had a feeling that he was really a bun.
After a while, the boy returned, carrying two baskets made of bamboo, a basket of white jasmine, dotted with green leaves, exuding a faint fragrance, and a basket of gardenias, the fragrance came to the nostrils.
Wang Yongzhu loves to smell the fragrance of gardenias, otherwise she would not have gone to Li Zhuye's house in Qilidun to transplant a gardenia to her home, and later moved to a new yard.
At this moment, I smelled the familiar fragrance of gardenias, and couldn't help but smile: "Little brother, how much does this cost?" β
The kid secretly glanced at Wang Yongzhu, and hurriedly lowered his head: "It's good for the nobleman to give fifty big money." β
This flower was originally planted by his family, and the nobles of this stand today usually buy some and put them on it to decorate the house, so this price is really not expensive.
Wang Yongzhu didn't care too much, and motioned to Gu Yu to give the kid a hundred dollars, and said by the way: "Do you know people with that kind of flowers, I want to buy a few flower trees to plant in the yard, jasmine, gardenia or honeysuckle, if there are climbing roses, it would be better." If there is, you will take Ren Ming'er to the second house at the mouth of Swallow Lane. β
The kid's eyes lit up, and he took a hundred dollars, and looked at Wang Yongzhu like a fairy.
Such a generous nobleman not only gave half of the errand fee, but also bought flowers and trees, and was immediately grateful, and thanked him again and again.
After saying thank you, he simply didn't leave, and helped downstairs.
He was originally from the neighborhood, he came to run errands at the age of seven or eight, and now he has been two or three years old, and he knows everything about a piece.
Whose dim sum is clean, whose things are cheap, and whose things are good, they are all familiar with it.
It just so happened that the charcoal seller came over with a basket of charcoal, and was about to settle the bill, and the boy went up and said a few words to the peddler with a smile, and the peddler took a sip of the boy, and finally spared the price a little.
and the man who delivered the water, when he saw the kid, he asked two more words: "Why don't you run errands outside today, but run inside?" β
The kid didn't answer, but only asked the man to make it cheaper by two cents with a hippie smile.
The man couldn't, and he agreed.
That kid is very good at reading people's faces, he is average, and after a while, he can see that only Gu Yu is the most honest, and while helping, he will just talk a little.
Although Gu Yu is honest, she remembers to be strict, no matter how much the kid pleases and behaves, she doesn't know if she asks.
The kid touched a soft nail, and he didn't get angry, but he still smiled to see who was inconvenient, so he went up to help.
After a while, Mrs. Li and her husband arrived, both husband and wife came to help, and the manpower was sufficient, and soon, the water was boiling, the hot tea was brewed, and the snacks were also hot.
