Chapter 215
The carriage stopped at the 'door' in the back street of Wuweiguan, the coachman helped Xiangru knock on the street 'door', the little girls rushed out to greet and help Xiangru take things, and the osmanthus 'flower' carried Xiangru back to the house to rest, and Erni did not forget to give a reward to the coachman outside.
Gui 'Hua' helped Xiangru all the way back to the house, all the way excitedly told Xiangru that the noon business hours, almost all the guests who came in had inquired about Xiangru's business trip, just because Xiangru had not come back at that time, so the shopkeeper had nothing to say, and it was estimated that it would be more lively in the evening.
Xiangru smiled but didn't answer, silently went upstairs to the bedroom, Sanni called hot water, Xiangru put the reward seal 'handed' osmanthus 'flower', and then the two girls waited for Xiangru to wash her face together***, made a 'bed' for her to sleep for a while, and went out early in the morning before coming back, anyone just wants to relax flattened.
The shopkeeper in front of him knew that the second owner was back, and thoughtfully did not disturb Xiangru's rest, and did things as usual, and when the evening business hours began, Xiangru woke up from a nap, and most of her strength recovered, dressed neatly to the front to take care of the business, and the guests saw Xiangru and couldn't wait to ask her about the errand.
Xiangru told the truth that everything went well at the banquet, but she didn't know anything about the scene, she was only working in the kitchen, and the guests wanted to know which family members were present and other gossip news, she really didn't know anything.
The guests didn't know anything about the theme, and they were just as interested in the layout and furnishings of the Hou Mansion, so they had to say something to Xiangru.
Xiangru had no choice but to casually talk about the rules of the Hou Mansion, so that the guests could open their eyes to what the pomp and circumstance of the high-ranking magnates was.
The guests listened to this thing with relish, and after listening to it, they had to talk about it, and then said, "In the end, it is from the Hou Mansion, but it is different from us civilians." ”
Xiangru chatted with the guests for a while, took yesterday's business data with the shopkeeper and went back to the study to draw a picture, and drew a chart of the guests' feedback on foreign dim sum in the past month, wrote a report and put it in an envelope, planning to send it to the Hou Mansion tomorrow.
After finishing her business, Xiangru had time to eat dinner, then went back to the bedroom to wash, poured the soup woman, took a book and got into the warm quilt to sleep while reading.
In the early morning of the second day, Lord Rui's fresh 'milk' products did not arrive, and the guys were still muttering, Xiangru reminded them that they had just remembered that the one-month trial period of fresh 'milk' dim sum had ended. In the morning, Xiangru hadn't sent anyone to deliver the letter, and the letter from the lord of Rui County arrived first, first praising Xiangru's performance yesterday, and then asking Xiangru what the results of the test in the past month were.
Xiangru smiled and asked Dahu to send the results she had sorted out last night to the Hou Mansion, and according to the feedback she had received from the guests for the rest of the month, she thought it was no problem to open a foreign fruit shop, and she directly quoted the price to the county lord in the letter, and was willing to pay as much as the purchase price for each 'milk'.
In the afternoon, before Xiangru got up for lunch break and went to the kitchen to do things, Xiang Fei and Bai An Guo Jin came to find Xiangru together, and the three of them came in from the 'door' of the back street, and when they entered the 'door', Bai An and Guo Jin were holding high-quality clothes in their arms, and the coachman behind them was still waiting, as if they were very busy today.
"These are all for me? Where did the big proprietor get so many good clothes? Xiangru sat in the living room and looked at the yards at her hand, not to mention six or seven horses of 'flower', 'fine', 'beautiful', 'color' and full of high-quality winter clothes.
"The related households are all new 'flowers' and new materials this year. I've been sending people around for the past few days, and I'm just going to come here today to do something, so I'll bring it to you by the way. Xiang Fei briefly explained the origin of the clothing.
"Did your related family give you a few carts of clothing?" Xiangru felt that Xiang Fei's related household was so generous, she was reluctant to buy this grade of clothing, at most she just looked at it, Xiang Fei's related household could send so much.
"People have made money this year, and they can only make a big fortune if they are willing to make a small fortune." Xiang Fei avoided the important and light, "I have the most bulging wallets in winter all year round. ”
"But isn't that too much? How can I use so much clothing alone? Or I'll pick one or two, and you'll take the rest back." ”
"Just kidding, how can I get what I gave back again? You are my partner, you should get a few more horses, other business partners want a few horses and are not qualified, and only the partner I will personally send the 'door', and everyone else's is directly sent to the small house. I sent you here, and if you want me to take it back, you will dismiss my face and not take me seriously. What do you mean by that? ”
"Nope." Xiangru categorically denied it, "I'll take it, I'll take it all, keep it and use it slowly." Thank you for sending it personally. ”
"That's right, while I have time now, I just cut the cloth and make a few new clothes for the New Year. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”
Xiang Fei came and went in a hurry, Xiangru asked the girls to move the clothes upstairs and put them away, she rushed to the kitchen to make snacks, and there was no 'milk' supplied by the county lord for the time being, and the supply of traditional pastries has resumed in recent days.
At the end of the day's business in the evening, Xiangru sat in the bedroom tired after dinner and washed up***, the girls chattered about the clothes beside her, this afternoon and evening, Osmanthus 'Flower' thought of several new clothes style, and so Xiangru finished washing and sat in the quilt, Osmanthus 'Flower' took the drawn clothes drawings to Xiangru for reference.
Looking at the clothes making picture, Xiangru thought that the wormwood would leave the palace soon, and this good clothing could be divided into half for her, and she would immediately 'hand' over to the osmanthus 'flower' to be prepared tomorrow.
Osmanthus 'flower' should be down, and urged Xiangru to look at the clothing drawing, Xiangru was sleepy, and in her heart she was 100% relieved that the "female" red of the osmanthus "flower" was 100% assured, not worried that she would "spoil" those expensive clothes, and her aesthetic attainments must be no problem, so Xiangru just looked at the clothing drawing, and returned it to the osmanthus 'flower', and asked her to start work according to the drawings, without even mentioning a revision opinion.
On the morning of the second day, the reply from the lord of Rui arrived, agreeing to be Xiangru's supplier, and of course the county lord had to bargain for the offer given by Xiangru, but she did not raise the price much, only adding one percent on the basis of Xiangru's offer.
And the reason of the county lord is also very sufficient, He Xiangru was originally engaged in the business of rich people, and the name Wuwei already has some fame, and the foreign fruit of biscuits and cakes is not often bought and eaten by ordinary people, but rich people like to try fresh, and they are not short of this snack money, so on the whole, although the price of raw materials is slightly higher, Xiangru still has a lot of money.
Xiangru couldn't help but admire when she saw that the county lord analyzed it so much, although she didn't know if the county lord's own meaning was what she meant, or if someone taught her to write it, but this remark convinced Xiangru.
Xiangru wrote a reply letter, which was some ideas about the future fruit shop, telling the county lord to be a little restless next, for the new fruit shop, she needs to make some full preparations, these preparations need to 'spend' some time, because she has to use these months to train helpers, so although there is no need for formal supply in the near future, it is best to supply a small amount of money every day, she pays the money, and the payment is paid at the beginning of the month, whether the county lord sends someone to get it or Xiangru sends someone to send it can be discussed.
After writing the letter, Xiangru asked Dahu to deliver the letter, and of course she began to take care of today's business.
The efficiency of the county lord's side is not bad at all, Xiangru's reply was sent in the morning, and the county lord's reply arrived in the afternoon, and three letters came in one day at a time.
The county lord of the letter told Xiangru that she had sent someone out of the city to Zhuangzi to arrange, and tomorrow the old time, the delivery car would definitely arrive on time, if Xiangru felt that she had to rest for a few days without making snacks, just tell the delivery person in advance, and there was no need to ask her to convey everything.
Xiangru ate the reassuring pill given by the county lord, and immediately ordered her subordinates to find a new maid 'girl' in the vicinity of their daycare, let them find a new maid 'girl' near the nursery, who is about twenty years old, can do housework, especially cooking, and is good at dim sum.
Xiangru has been on this street for nearly a year, and the people have some 'friendship' with the three aunts and six women on the street, and they received Xiangru's order, and while it was still early that day, they hurriedly went out to spread the news.
In the evening, Xiangru sat in the study and wrote to Xiang Fei, telling him about his decision to open a new dim sum shop, and asking him about the location of the new store.
The next morning, the Zhuangzi of the lord of Rui County really sent a small amount of fresh 'milk' that Xiangru needed again, and Xiangru made snacks such as biscuits to eat by herself. Xiaohu sent the letter to Xiang's mansion in the morning to 'hand' Xiangfei, and in the afternoon, the nearby mother-in-law successively went to the 'door' to recommend the new maid 'girl' candidates, and the girls were responsible for checking, as long as there was a condition that did not meet Xiangru's prescribing, it was not wanted, and there was no suitable candidate to bring to Xiangru in the afternoon.
Two days have passed, and there has been no feedback from Xiang Fei for the time being, but Xiangru has successfully bought two maids and is preparing to train as a pastry chef to reduce her workload in the future.
One was a 21-year-old new widow with a four-year-old daughter, and her mother-in-law disliked her daughter-in-law and had no children, so she simply sold them together, and the other sold her sixteen-year-old daughter because her family was poor so that she could marry her 23-year-old brother.
Xiangru was in a hurry to ask for someone, so she didn't mind the mother and daughter, and asked the girls who entered the final interview to go to the kitchen to make a snack that they were good at, and the final winner was the mother and daughter and the sister.
signed the death deed under the witness of Renyazi, paid the price, and the two 'women' and one child officially became Xiangru's new subordinates. Xiangru thought that their original names were not good, so she asked them to call the widow 'woman' 'jade', her 'daughter' was the little 'jade', and the younger sister was named Orchid 'flower'. Xiangru's name has no meaning, she just calls it smoothly.
'Jade' Niang and 'Daughter' and Orchid 'Flower' knelt in the living room to salute Xiangru and swore allegiance to Xiangru, 'Jade' Niang and Orchid 'Flower' are all people who live nearby, although this Gujing Street has always had nothing to do with the surrounding poor people with the prosperity of the surrounding streets, but because of the cheap location, the name of the Five Flavor Pavilion has been heard countless times, and it can become the subordinate of the second owner He Boss, and the 'Jade' Niang and the Orchid 'Flower' are happy and 'excited'
Entering the 'Door'
