Chapter 216
"I'm going to open a fruit shop next year, specializing in fresh dim sum made from all kinds of 'milk' products, 'jade' and 'flowers', and your task is to learn dim sum skills with me and share the work for me in the future. Did you hear it all? Xiangru sat on the throne, her eyes lowered, and her voice was low.
"I heard you clearly, but at the behest of the girl."
"Erni Sanni, take them down to rest and tell them the rules."
Erni and Sanni bowed and retired, and took the three of them to their bedrooms, the bedrooms of the next people were all double rooms, with two 'beds', and the 'jade' mother and the 'daughter' could also sleep, and the orchid 'flower' didn't mind, so they didn't rush to clean up the other empty room, so they let the three of them live like this.
After explaining all the rules that should be taught, let the three of them rest and pack their luggage in the house, and the Erni sisters went to do their own thing. Later, Gui 'Hua' got Xiangru and ordered her to come over and measure the body size of 'Yu' Niang, Xiao 'Yu' and Orchid 'Hua', and then gave Erni some money, so that she could pull a few pieces of cloth back for 'Yu' Niang and her clothes when she bought vegetables tomorrow morning.
Early in the morning of the second day, Erni and Dahu rushed to the morning market as usual, Sanni and Orchid 'Flower' were 'making' breakfast in the kitchen, and 'Yu' took a broom to clean the corridor outside while the child was still sleeping, and the little guys were also busy with their own work, at this time Xiangru got up 'bed' and groomed under the service of Osmanthus 'Flower'.
There are two more maids 'girl' work efficiency has increased greatly, when Erni Dahu came back from buying vegetables, breakfast in the kitchen was just right, in the past, Erni had to work in the kitchen for a while to have breakfast when she came back from buying vegetables.
After breakfast, the two batches of guys who delivered the ingredients arrived one after another, and after the order was clear, Xiangru came to the kitchen to start the formal training of the two new assistants.
Xiangru first taught 'Jade' Niang and Orchid 'Flower' to know butter and 'milk' oil, and then divided the raw materials into three parts, so that 'Jade' Niang and Orchid 'Flower' followed her to learn to make the simplest egg yolk biscuits, and taught them every step of making them by hand.
Although 'Jade' Niang and Orchid 'Flower' have never made such a snack, they are used to housework when they are at home, and they learn to follow Xiangru's demonstration, except that they are faster.
The cook, the cook, and the other guys went to work one after another, and when they saw a newcomer, they said hello in a friendly manner and went to the courtyard to wash the vegetables.
In the kitchen, the three people stir the raw materials evenly, spread them on the baking tray and put them in the oven together, simmer for a while after baking, and then take them out and put them on a cold plate, so that everyone can come and evaluate the results of 'jade' and orchid' flowers.
The raw materials are exactly the same, and the steps are also followed by Xiangru step by step, except for the lack of skill in stirring the raw materials, the taste and taste are not much different from the finished product of Xiangru, which is a good start for the two of 'jade' Nianglan 'flower' who make biscuits at one time.
After a successful class, the cooks began to clean up the kitchen and prepare for a while, Xiangru and they returned to the backyard with the biscuits they had made, Xiangru took the biscuits she made to the study, and the "jade" mother and the orchid "flower" made it for the people to divide together.
Little 'Yu' took a small handful of biscuits from her mother and leaned against the half-open street 'door', eating slowly while looking at the street scene, while her mother and the other three maidservants were busy planting clothes in the house of the Erni sisters.
The naughty child on the street saw the little 'jade' eating, and wanted to step forward and was afraid that there would be an adult in the 'door', so he stood a few steps away and used various toys in his hand to lure the little 'jade' out.
But those children are used to being naughty, they don't want to 'exchange' at all, they just want to trick them into eating, as soon as the little 'jade' comes out, they snatch the biscuits from the little 'jade' hand, and they don't even let go of the handkerchief that wraps the biscuits, and the naΓ―ve little 'jade' doesn't even 'touch' the edge of the rattan ball
Little 'Jade' saw that the delicious biscuits were snatched away, and even the mother's handkerchief was gone, afraid of being scolded by the mother, just wanted to cry tears and was scared back, she suddenly had two more big horses around her, and the two young uncles were getting off the horses one after the other, all wearing very good clothes, especially the uncle in front of him was well-dressed and good-looking.
Xiang Fei and Bai An both saw what happened just now, but they didn't know the identity of the little 'jade', Bai An stepped forward and squatted down and asked the little 'jade' in a harmonious voice, "Little baby, which child are you?" β
"This one." The little 'jade' pointed to the big 'door' behind him, and his mouth was deflated and he wanted to cry.
Xiang Fei Bai'an glanced at each other, and then looked at the shabby clothes of the little 'jade', and probably understood in his heart that it might be the second owner who bought a maid.
"Little baby, we're here to find the owner of this house, can you take us in? Take us in, uncle, give you money, buy candy to eat. "Bai An 'touched' a penny from his body and shook it in front of the little 'jade'.
Little 'Yu' didn't answer, "Don't, I don't want your money, I want my cookies." β
Bai An continued to coax, "Little baby, the owner of this house is very good at making biscuits, shall we ask her for a few pieces to eat?" β
Little 'Jade''s face fell again, "I 'made' and lost the biscuits given by my mother, and my mother will scold me." I want cookies, no money. β
Bai An fainted, Xiang Fei didn't play with him, and entered the 'door' by himself, and the little 'jade' saw it and shouted and grabbed the corner of Xiang Fei's robe, "You can't go in." β
He Xiaojie hurriedly ran out when he heard the voice, "Little 'jade', what's wrong?" β
As soon as he looked up, he saw Xiang Fei standing on the threshold of the 'door', and hurriedly saluted, "Young Master Fei, please come inside, the girl is in the study, she has no patients today." β
Xiang Fei pointed to the little 'jade', "This is new?" β
"Yes." He Xiaojie took the hand of the little 'jade', made a gesture of please, and took Xiang Fei inside, Bai An tied the horse at the 'door', took off the things carried by the horse, and came in a few steps behind, "The girl bought two maids yesterday and said that she would train herself as assistants, one of them is a young widow." It's strange and pitiful, just because they have no children, the deceased husband was sold by her in-laws just before the full moon was buried. β
"It's also a blessing to be able to fall under your girl."
While speaking, Xiao Jie took Xiang Fei out of the shadow wall, the big tiger and the two tigers saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the little 'jade', and Xiao Jie took Xiang Fei straight to the upper room to find Xiangru.
After Gui 'Hua' informed Xiangru, he led Fei into the study to talk.
Xiangru saw Xiang Fei take a slender box from Bai An's hand, and thought of the scene when she met Xiang Fei to discuss business, and her face immediately smiled like a 'flower', "Third Master Fei, you miss me to death, come and sit down." β
Xiang Fei shook the things in his hand and teased casually, "Do you miss me or do you want this?" β
"Of course I miss you, without you, how can I have what you have. But if you let someone else send it, I don't want you. β
"Hey, I've worked hard these days, and I can't listen to you when I come here." Xiang Fei sat down at the table and put the things in his hand on the table.
"You have as many nice words as you want to get things done, it's not that I boast, I think when I was still whipped by my aunt every day in the palace, in order to avoid being beaten, I practiced all kinds of sycophants."
Xiangru eagerly picked up the box and opened it, squinted her eyes when she saw a large piece of paper rolled up well, took it out directly, and continued while spreading it out on the table, "This sycophant is exquisite, the pat is obviously not good, there must be no traces, it can't be heard that it's sycophancy, but it can make people listen very comfortably, otherwise my aunt will not be happy to hear it and whip it down, and it will be useless to wear a few padded jackets." β
Xiang Fei was uncomfortable when he heard it, and just as Gui 'Hua' brought tea in, he used tea to turn his attention back to business.
Xiangru spread out the drawings, found that it is the overall plan of a group of large mansions, the house is very large, one vertical, some three into some four, each vertical has an independent street 'door', there are seven street 'doors', but looking at the drawings seem to be the ordinary people's Ruyi 'door', I can't see the appearance of the mansion.
"Hey, this house won't be rented out by the landlord after it was built, right?"
"Of course not, this is a complete mansion, in its heyday, this family had six sons in addition to the parents, one room and one longitudinal, in order to facilitate access to each open street 'door'. After passing on for several generations, the loser did not keep the family property, and sold it all vertically, and a good mansion became a miscellaneous courtyard, which was rebuilt into a mess, and at most hundreds of families lived. β
"And now?"
"Now I bought it little by little, ask the workers to restore it to the original state, and now it is only this westernmost column, if you want you to take over, otherwise I will buy it."
"Why do you have nothing to do with buying such a big house?"
"This is the house where I am preparing to marry and divide my family in the future, in addition to my wife and children, as well as my subordinates' wives and children, I will also live."
"Huh?! And what about the house I was to last time? β
"It's just a place for me to work, and the people there come and go during the day and at night, and the house will be rented out when I get married. As I told you, my cook finished cooking dinner and left. β
Xiangru blinked a few times and nodded blankly, "It seems that I said so." Tsk, people say that there are three holes of cunning rabbits, and the three masters of Fei have more nests than rabbits. What's so good about this house, is it worth your effort? β
"Feng Shui is good. This house is right on the edge of the inner moat to the northeast, and the back 'gate' is facing the river, and you know how expensive the homesteads on both sides of the moat are. β
"Wow, moatside, good place." Xiangru's eyes also lit up, and she lowered her head to study the drawings carefully, "Hey, what is the front 'door' across the street?" β
"It's an alley, and across from the front 'door' is a row of 'door' houses, all of which used to be the property of the owner of this house, all of which were sold. This alley has always been named after this family, and until now, the tooth man of Zhuang Zhai said that after I bought them all, they would help me change my name with the government and use my name. β
Xiangru was completely shocked to the point of being dumbfounded, "Third Master Fei, you are generous, you have courage, a real man." How much more haven't you bought yet? β
"It's the westernmost one, do you want it?"
"Then if I buy it, won't I be your neighbor in the future?"
Xiang Fei raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it good to be my neighbor?" Couldn't it be more convenient? β
"Can I ask you when you plan to get married?"
Xiang Fei was deflated, and squinted at Xiangru with one hand, "How dare you get married if you don't have money, don't look at me like a rich man, my money is used to buy this house except for the necessary living money in business." Otherwise, why would I take a big risk to buy a stake in a merchant ship and go overseas? β
Xiangru suddenly realized, "So that's the case, Fei Sanye is amazing, admire and admire, I thought you were a carefree businessman." β
Xiang Fei rolled his eyes and glared at Xiangru, "Why does this sound like a curse?" Businessman still carefree? β
Xiangru hurriedly waved her hand, "I'm complimenting you, business is going well, so naturally you're carefree?" β
Xiang Fei waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go, listen to your nonsense." β
Xiangru smiled, glanced at the drawings, and had another question, "Third Master Fei, you said that this house was rebuilt into a mess by the residents, doesn't that mean that this house is exactly what it looks like is 'messy'?" β
"That's not, when I made up my mind to buy this house, I entrusted everything to the Zhuang Zhai Yaxing, they advanced the money first, went to talk to the original residents, bought the house little by little to renovate and restore the original state, and completed a longitudinal I paid a longitudinal money, the house price is fixed, but the renovation fee, material cost, and labor cost will change over time, but for the sake of such a good place, don't worry about this money."
"Well, then I can move directly after I pay the money?"
"yes, it's convenient, right? If you like it, I'll give it to you at the original price, if you don't, it's mine, and I'll find you another place, but there's no guarantee that you can find such a good place. In front is the 'door' noodle room, your fruit shop can be opened here, the people who live by the moat are rich people, and the other side of the river is Zhu 'door' lane for two quarters of an hour, where the famous 'door' magnates live. As long as your store is open, are you afraid that there will be no business? Who doesn't know the name Gomi now? β
Xiangru was more and more moved by Xiang Fei's words, "Why did Third Master Fei come to tell me today in such a good place?" β
"I just received a notice from the tooth shop that the house is 'done', and I went to the site yesterday to see the acceptance, and today I will tell you, you still think so?"
"Now, just ask, you didn't say that at first." Xiangru smiled, looking at the drawings to hide her embarrassment, just now it was indeed a little ignorant of good people's hearts.
"Bang ......" Xiang Fei's big slap slapped on the drawing, blocking Xiangru's sight, "Have you thought about it?" Be a neighbor with me, and you will benefit from business in the future. β
"Ahem, how much does this cost?"
"It's cheap, less than a thousand taels."
Xiangru immediately smacked her tongue, "It's too expensive!" β
"It's just that the renovation fee is expensive, just talking about this land and this house, and then looking at this location, it's really not expensive."
"I can't afford it, almost, I 'spent' too much money to make jewelry a while ago. The point is, I never thought about buying such an expensive house. β
"How much worse?"
"It's about two hundred taels, and I'll always need money to buy some things after I move."
"Okay, even if I suffer a loss, I'll make it up to you, and you will pay me back when the dividends are paid at the end of the year." Xiang Fei did not hesitate to pick it up.
"Also, I don't have the money to rent a 'door' room."
"The 'door' noodle room is also considered to be good for me to lend you? The condition is that you help me look after the house, okay? I don't know when I'll move in, but before I move in, you take care of me, and I won't charge you rent for the 'door' front room. β
"I'm just a few people who show you a mansion that big? How many laps can you walk in a day? β
"You're bargaining with me, aren't you?"
"I'm just emphasizing the facts." Xiangru smiled proudly, "You begged me to be your neighbor." β
Entering the 'Door'
