Chapter 300: Price Code
Xia Yan's worries are actually superfluous.
As early as when the Yan family sent someone to Qin County to find Xia Yan back, she had already asked Sister-in-law He to prepare in advance.
After all, these people are here to eat and drink, and it is really unreasonable to say that they don't even prepare any ingredients.
Although the two newcomers are no longer there, she still decides to prepare some ingredients, just in case.
After Xia Yan gave the order, Sister-in-law He kept busy. These three tables of banquets were prepared just in time for lunchtime.
During the meal, this group of scholars looked intoxicated, which made Xia Yan only feel a little inexplicable.
It's no wonder that those scholars don't know anything, after all, the vegetables used for cooking at Xia Yan's house are all grown by herself, and after being watered by spiritual spring water, they are much more delicious than those ordinary vegetables, plus Sister-in-law He will use diluted spiritual spring water when cooking, so it would be strange if this thing was unpalatable, not to mention that Sister-in-law He's cooking skills were already good, and these reasons came together to make Xia Yan's meals extraordinarily special.
But the people in Xia Yan's family don't have this kind of awareness at all, after all, they have almost eaten this kind of food in the past few years, and in their hearts, home-cooked food should taste like this, so they only feel strange about the performance of these scholars, and it is difficult to empathize.
After all the scholars had eaten and drunk, they looked at Ling Qiu with unfinished eyes, Ling Qiu immediately understood what they meant, and smiled at Xia Yan, "Little sister, who made this meal in your house?" ”
"Sister-in-law He." There was nothing to hide, so Xia Yan answered him happily.
"What's her relationship with you?" Ling Qiu continued to ask.
"Relationship?" Xia Yan was slightly stunned, it was the first time she had heard someone ask such a question, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Strange is strange, but Xia Yan still decided to answer, so he blurted out: "She is my family." ”
When Xia Yan said this, Sister-in-law He was not present, not even Lin Yuan and Lin Zhou, so she could answer this neatly.
If they were here, Xia Yan would be a little shy.
After all, they have always regarded themselves as masters, and treat themselves with sincerity and fear every day, although they have not been harsh on them, but they often keep a straight face in front of them for the sake of majesty. But in her heart, she has long regarded these people as family.
What Xia Yan didn't know was that at this time, Sister-in-law He happened to walk outside the door with a few plates of fruit, and when she heard Xia Yan's words, she trembled with excitement.
Her family of three was originally bought because of Miss's kindness, and she has always been very grateful to Miss, and she has served the family with all her heart.
But she has always only regarded this place as a place to live, and has not fully integrated herself into the family.
After all, he is only a subordinate of this family, and if the master is dissatisfied with him one day, it is possible to resell his family.
Therefore, she has always just wanted to do everything to the best of her ability, in order to let the family see her strengths and make them reluctant to abandon themselves.
But what she didn't expect was ...... The young lady actually treats herself as a family member, but she is ......
For a while, Sister-in-law He only felt full of guilt, and she didn't know how to face Xia Yan.
Just when Sister-in-law He was hesitating to enter the house, she heard Ling Qiu say: "I don't know if you can cut your love, little sister, and give this sister-in-law He to our Paradise Academy." ”
"What's not to be allowed to?" Xia Yan glanced at Ling Qiu, "Sister-in-law He is not a commodity, it is her freedom to go wherever she wants." ”
At this time, how could Xia Yan not understand Ling Qiu's intentions, they were taking a fancy to Sister-in-law He's craftsmanship and wanted to bring people back to Bliss Mountain Villa to cook for them. It's really a group of people who know how to enjoy, in order to dig up a cook, they actually came all the way to come.
"I don't know how much the little sister-in-law you give to this sister-in-law?" Ling Qiu asked with a squint.
"You've made up your mind to poach people from me?" Xia Yan sneered, "I said, Sister-in-law He is my family, how could I let my family leave me?" ”
"But you also said that she is not a commodity, and it is her freedom to go wherever she wants." Ling Qiu said with a smile.
"You ......" Xia Yan's brows tightened, he never expected this Ling Qiu to have such a thick skin.
His meaning is clear, that is, he refuses to let go, why can't he understand?
Xia Yan really wanted to blow people out, anyway, they had eaten and drank, and it was not only interesting to stay here, but also to think about digging up their own people.
But because of Bliss and Huo Leiting's face, she really couldn't open her mouth to drive people away. There was no way, she could only find a way to make this Ling Qiu retreat.
So, Xia Yan smiled at Ling Qiu and said, "I don't give Sister-in-law He much for the month, it's only a thousand taels of silver a month." ”
"A thousand taels?" Ling Qiu was stunned.
"That's right." Xia Yan smiled proudly, knowing that Ling Qiu was frightened by this number, "Sister-in-law He's such a good cook, how can she say it without a thousand taels?" It's a little more, but it's worth it. ”
"One thousand taels." Ling Qiu pursed his lips, "One thousand taels is really not much." ”
"What did you say?" This time it was Xia Yan's turn to be stunned.
She had casually made up a number in order to scare Ling Qiu away, but she didn't expect him to think that one thousand taels was not much!
1,000 taels a month, more than 10,000 taels a year, even the imperial chef can't get so much silver.
Could it be that the people in this Elysium Academy are all fools? In order to eat deliciously, it is so cost-free.
Just when Xia Yan was guessing, Ling Qiu proved her idea: "The cook I invited from the Bliss Academy is 20,000 taels a year. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yan suddenly had the idea of going to Bliss Academy to be a cook. But thinking about the three meals a day, it would take a lot of effort to prepare alone, and she extinguished this thought.
Ling Qiu seemed to see through Xia Yan's thoughts, and then said with a smile: "The chef of the academy is only in charge of the spoon, and his own subordinates will do the rest." ”
"Uncle Ling, do you want to add another little cook to your academy, the kind that is obedient, willing to work, and can be coquettish?" Xia Yan smiled sweetly at Ling Qiu.
"No, I don't." Ling Qiu looked Xia Yan up and down, knowing that the little chef she said was herself, but he didn't believe that this little girl had any cooking skills at all, the group of people in the Bliss Academy were very tricky, if they didn't have a certain level, they didn't even want to take a look, "I just want to take Sister-in-law He back." ”
"It's really visionary." Xia Yan pursed his lips and muttered quietly.
Ling Qiu's refusal, she didn't take it to heart, she just said it casually on a whim, if she really wanted her to be a cook, she couldn't rest assured that she would not be able to do that thing in Qin County.
"What if I don't agree with you taking Sister-in-law away?" Xia Yan's words were sincere, if Sister-in-law He really left with Ling Qiu, she was really reluctant. Sister-in-law He has been at home for so many years, she has long been accustomed to the meals made by Sister-in-law He, if there is another person to cook, it is estimated that not only her, but even other people in the family will not be able to accept it.
"It's up to you, little sister, as you just said, Sister-in-law He is not a cargo, and her stay is naturally up to her." Ling Qiu looked in the direction of the door, "The one standing outside the door must be Sister-in-law He." You also heard what we just said, what are your thoughts on this? ”
Hearing Ling Qiu's name, Sister-in-law He knew that he had already discovered herself, so she stopped hiding it and raised her feet and entered the house.
Seeing Sister-in-law He enter the house, coupled with the words that Ling Qiu had just shouted outside the door, Xia Yan knew that Sister-in-law He had been listening outside the door all along, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
She just blew the cowhide out in front of Sister-in-law He, and now she doesn't know how to end it.
You must know that although she gave Sister-in-law He a lot of monthly gifts, it was far less than a thousand taels, and now that she was listened to by the parties, it really made Xia Yan feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing Xia Yan's embarrassment, Sister-in-law He smiled softly at her, and then said to Ling Qiu: "Mr. Ling, thank you for your love." But I am a person bought by the Xia family, I am a member of the Xia family in life, and I am a ghost of the Xia family in death, and I will never leave with you. ”
"Sister-in-law He, you can't talk too much." Ling Qiu smiled confidently, "Twenty thousand taels a year, it's just the amount for ordinary chefs, if you go to the academy, I will promise fifty thousand taels a year." ”
"Fifty thousand!" Xia Yan was surprised that he could stuff an egg into his mouth, "Uncle Ling, you make such an exaggerated decision, don't you need to ask Uncle Yang's opinion?" He worked hard to earn money, how can you spend it indiscriminately! ”
"The dean has long been at ease and doesn't know where to go, and the current Bliss Academy can only rely on me to support it, and I don't need to report to him for such a trivial matter, I can decide it myself." Ling Qiu smiled, "But I'm not the dean after all, I'm only responsible for spending the money, and this matter of earning money still needs to be done by our Dean Yang." ”
Is this still called a trifle? Xia Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it.
I am still short-sighted, and I don't know that someone will not put 50,000 taels in their eyes.
At this point, she could better understand why Bliss was so frugal. With this group of disciples who regard silver as dung and are desperate to spend everything, how can he, who is the head of the house, not save some money? No one's money is blown by the wind, the Bliss Academy family has a big business and spends too much, and this group of disciples has no worries at all when they spend money.
This time, Xia Yan couldn't help but begin to sympathize with Bliss.
"Sister-in-law He, how about it, do you agree?" Ling Qiu looked at Sister-in-law He with a smile, looking confident.
There are few secular people who can withstand the temptation of heavy money, and if there is, it must be that the price is not enough.
Just when Ling Qiu was full of confidence and waited for Sister-in-law He to agree, she saw that she was blessed: "Mr. Ling, I still say the same thing, thank you for your love, I understand your kindness." ”
"One hundred thousand!" Ling Qiu didn't talk nonsense, he was straightforward.
"Mr. Ling, I know better than anyone how capable I am." Sister-in-law He shook her head and smiled, "I can't afford to give you so much silver." I'm used to staying here, and I've long regarded this place as my home, and I treat my young lady as a relative. Let me ask, if I abandon my family for the sake of money, what face will I have to live in the world? ”
"Two hundred thousand!" Ling Qiu squinted. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Ugly Girl Makeover: Gao Leng Wangye, Please Respect the Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
