Chapter Ninety-Seven: Employment
So the old woman nodded, turned around and left.
Qin Xiang didn't care about her attitude, but was very happy, the goods that had to be sold out for an hour were stunned by her.
"Looks like we'll be able to go home earlier today."
Qin Xiang turned his head and smiled at Han Yunxiao, thinking about pulling Han Yunxiao around in the name of looking for a shop later.
Han Yunxiao nodded, but his face was still not very good, and after the two of them sold all the remaining fried potatoes and fried sweet potatoes, they went to a nearby stall to make do with lunch.
Han Yunxiao doesn't eat much, he is usually more silent, but today he has become more silent.
Seeing this, Qin Xiang couldn't help but sigh, she handed a meat bun to Han Yunxiao and urged: "It's not a day or two that my mother wants a recipe, you pretend not to know, why do you care so much?" ”
"I didn't care about this matter, but I felt that you were wronged, obviously this recipe is yours, and my mother still ......"
Han Yunxiao said that he had already taken a big sip of mutton soup and couldn't help sighing.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It turns out that you are depressed, I don't care, why should you care?" ”
Han Yunxiao stared at Qin Xiang for a moment, and when he saw that Qin Xiang really didn't care, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The two were chatting, the old woman had returned to the main house, and as Qin Xiang guessed, the old woman was the grandmother of a wealthy family.
She hurriedly put the fried chicken in the kitchen and asked the cook to find a delicate plate to put the fried chicken on.
I looked at the fried potatoes and the fried sweet potatoes again, and felt that these two things were only eaten by ordinary people.
If something that can't be put on the table like this may make the old lady unhappy if it is brought to the table.
So she casually presented two things to the kitchen lady, and then conveniently packed the dishes she bought.
He hurriedly beckoned everyone to bring all the food to the table and went to taste it for the old lady and the distinguished guests.
At first, she was a little worried, for fear that the fried chicken stalls would not be too delicious.
But when the meal was served, the old lady invited the guests to eat the fried chicken as if they were happy to eat it, and they actually came to eat several pieces.
"What is this dish called, the taste is really special, that is, I have never eaten such a dish in the capital."
The guest was appreciative, he was also well-informed, and he had eaten a lot of delicacies, but this was the first time he had eaten such a practice.
"This dish is called fried chicken, which is very famous in our county, and it is a special snack."
The old lady naturally didn't know about this kind of dish, so she gave Mama a look, and Mama hurriedly spoke.
The guest nodded, and there was some interest in his eyes, if he was in his own house, he would definitely ask a cook who could make this dish back.
It's easy to eat freshly made, and if it's fried chicken that comes out of the pan, it's definitely better than this kind of cold one.
It's just that now that he is a guest at someone else's house, he can't talk about this, so he has to eat a few more pieces, study them carefully, and then let the cook at home try them when he goes back to see if he can make the same.
The old lady has been a housewife all her life, so she naturally saw the thoughts of this distinguished guest, and after the banquet was over, she left her grandmother alone.
Qin Xiang didn't know that he had been remembered, and after eating lunch, he continued to walk along the street with Han Yunxiao.
During this time, she had visited the entire county and was very familiar with these streets.
The two of them transferred to the time when the two small groups got out of school, and went to pick up the two small groups and go home together.
On the way home, they also saw several villagers, and when they saw them from afar, they immediately avoided them, and their eyes were a little cold.
Seeing them was like seeing some bad guys, Qin Xiang naturally knew that these people would be like this, most of them were the ghosts of the Wang family and Han Yunfeng.
But she didn't care, after all, the people in this village didn't have a good impression of them before.
It's just that the impression is a little worse now, and it doesn't affect their lives in the slightest.
Han Yunxiao naturally saw it, but his expression didn't change much.
When the four of them got home, they washed up and went to bed as usual.
On the second day, Han Yunxiao was dragged by Qin Xiang and continued to sell things in the county.
Han Yunxiao's injuries have not been completely healed, and she will definitely not let Han Yunxiao enter the mountain before the injuries are completely healed.
As soon as the two of them set up their stalls, they saw an old woman hurriedly walking over.
Qin Xiang recognized at a glance that this was the old woman who had packed all the fried chicken yesterday, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "How much do you want to buy today?" ”
"I'm not here to buy anything today, but to ask you to cook in our house, and I'll give you three taels of silver a day."
The old woman looked at Qin Xiang condescendingly, her expression was very serious.
Yesterday, after the distinguished guest left, the old lady told her to come out today to find this fried chicken maker.
Be sure to invite the fried chicken maker to the house and cook for this guest.
Therefore, she came out early in the morning to find someone, but fortunately, Qin Xiang sold things at a fixed stall every time, and she quickly found Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment, she never thought that she would encounter such a situation, she glanced at Han Yunxiao who was sitting next to her, and was a little glad that Han Yunxiao came out with her today.
"It's okay to go, but I have two conditions, I don't allow other people to be around when I'm cooking. And the salary has to go up by two taels, because I can cook more than one dish, and if you invite me over, I can help your master make a feast." ”
Qin Xiang thought about it for a while and felt that this was also a good errand, but she didn't want people to learn her skills in making fried chicken, so she said lightly.
The old woman stared at Qin Xiang with some displeasure, if it weren't for the fact that Qin Xiang was the only one in this county who could make fried chicken, she would definitely leave immediately.
But she thought about it, isn't it because this fried chicken is so special that no one can imitate it, so this stall sells fried chicken.
It seems that the fried chicken sold by this company is a unique recipe, and I don't want others to learn it.
The old woman thought about it, so she had to nod her head and said: "It's okay not to let people see that you can do it, anyway, the ingredients have been prepared, but I can't do the matter of adding money, and I have to ask the old lady." ”
The old woman looked at Qin Xianglai with a curious expression, and felt that this person's temperament was not small, and he would ask for two taels of silver when he opened his mouth.
These two taels of silver are not a decimal number, and her monthly money is only so much for a month.
The last time she came to buy something, she was in a hurry, and she had always looked down on such a small vendor.
Therefore, she didn't care much about Qin Xiang, but now that she looked at it carefully, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
She found that Qin Xiang's temperament was very different from that of a village woman, and if Qin Xiang changed into a gorgeous satin dress, she would definitely think that Qin Xiang was an official lady.
Although she had such a thought in her heart, she didn't think much about it, so she urged Qin Xiang to leave with her quickly.
"You don't have to worry, I'll pick you up at night."
Han Yunxiao stood up and specially asked which grandmother this old woman was, and then turned his head and said to Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang nodded, but he wasn't worried, but he just recalled in his mind the information about the rich households in the county that he had checked before.
There is indeed a family surnamed Jiang, and the ancestors have been officials and can be regarded as scholars.
It is one of the best families in the county, and it is unlikely that such a family will do anything to Qin Xiang.
Therefore, Qin Xiang was not too worried, nodded at Han Yunxiao, and asked him to help continue selling fried chicken, while she followed the old woman and got into the carriage and rushed towards Jiang's mansion.
It took about three quarters of an hour for the carriage to stop at the door of a mansion.
Qin Xiang followed the old woman out of the car and walked into the courtyard through the corner gate.
The old woman didn't say much along the way, but her status seemed to be very high, and there were many maids on the road to greet her.
Only then did Qin Xiang know that this old woman was called Mama Jiang, and most of them were Mama beside their old lady.
Sure enough, after Mama Jiang brought her to the gate of the main courtyard, she asked her to stay here and not walk around, and she walked into the courtyard.
Qin Xiang stood at the gate of the courtyard and glanced around curiously.
I have to say that this is the first time she has entered an ancient mansion since she came to ancient times.
Although in modern times, she has visited many mansions in Beijing where ancient princes lived.
The mansions have been carefully repaired, but there is no such sense of empathy.
Especially now, she feels that this mansion is full of the atmosphere of ancient rich and noble families.
The Jiang family is a literati, so the courtyard is very delicate and graceful, carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, and it looks very fine.
She couldn't help but look a few more times, not noticing that a young man had crept up behind her.
The man first looked at her curiously, and then asked curiously, "You are the one who makes fried chicken?" ”
Qin Xiang didn't notice at all when there was a person coming from behind him, and he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly turned around and looked at the person behind him.
I saw that this person had a white hosta in his hair, was wearing a long shirt embroidered with silage, a white fox fur cloak, deerskin boots on his feet, and a Hetian jade pendant around his waist, and was staring at her with a curious face.
Looking at his dress, it is not difficult to guess that this must be the young master of this family.
Qin Xiang thought that after all, he had come to work in their house, and there was no need to offend the master's family.
Therefore, even if his attitude towards speaking was not very good, Qin Xiang still nodded and said politely: "Exactly, I am selling fried chicken at a stall on West Street." ”
"The fried chicken tastes good, I'll ask the housekeeper to buy it for a few days."
The man nodded, then took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, threw it to Qin Xiang and said, "It's for you." ”
Before Qin Xiang could react, the man had already strode into the courtyard.
After the others left, Qin Xiang lowered his head and glanced at the silver ingot in his hand.
This silver ingot is also printed with the words "wealth and longevity", which should have been specially cast by their own family, and it is enough to have one or two weights.
She happily put away the silver ingots, thinking to herself that this business was not bad.
Soon Mama Jiang walked out, still with a strained face, and said, "Let's go, the old lady said that you can cook by yourself, but you have to change your clothes." ”
Qin Xiang naturally knew their intentions, and these big families were very cautious, probably afraid that Qin Xiang would be poisoned.
The so-called change of clothes is more like a body search, she thought for a while and hurriedly asked, "What about the salary?" ”
