Chapter 18, Shu Yun
Speaking of which, because she has been very busy all these years, she has no time to pay attention to some miscellaneous remarks in the village, and then she came to live here with Bai Xue, and many people thought that she was a widow with children by herself, so she never heard gossip about herself.
Jiang Xuan and they have all seen Jiang Yuanyuan and Sheng Rong together, and now that Sheng Rong is not there, they naturally know that Jiang Yuanyuan wants to wait for Sheng Rong, so they have not Cui Guo themselves, and they have become a woman that no one wants.
Holding Bai Xue at night, Jiang Yuanyuan actually felt a little funny, Bai Xue slept early, her work and rest were very regular, she slept after washing every day, without delay at all, and now she slept fragrantly, Jiang Yuanyuan pinched Bai Xue's face, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, she still remembered Chen Mofan and Sheng Rong The tree house they made for themselves when they were adults, she was still a little girl at that time, and she fantasized about who she would marry in the next year or two, but she didn't expect this blink of an eye, four years have passed, and at this age, she has become an old girl that no one wants, But she didn't feel anything bad, but was happy.
When she was an ignorant girl before, Jiang Yuanyuan once thought about her life after getting married, taking care of children, cooking, taking care of the elderly, taking care of her husband, she once felt that this kind of life was the life she should have, but now that she thinks about it, she feels that this kind of life is the most boring.
It's boring, you don't have your own happiness, you just hang around others all day long, what's the difference between being a maid.
Although this kind of life is tiring, it is also full of fun, eating, drinking, wearing, and every cent is your own money, and such a day is truly beautiful.
She didn't go to the government to sue the Peng family, it's not that she doesn't resent, she just feels that there is no need to kill them all like this, they are no longer a threat now, they have nothing, and there is nothing to fight.
Ten days later, Jiang Yuanyuan received a whole truckload of goods, all of which were dried fish, as well as a letter from Jiang Xuan that they had successfully hooked up with the imperial merchants.
When writing the letter, Jiang Yuanyuan hesitated again and again, and only wrote that everything should be careful and pay attention to safety. Thousands of instructions, but pay attention to safety.
Jiang Yuanyuan has a working capital of 1,000 taels and a few hundred taels of spare money in her hands, these are all the money earned from selling grain and running an inn during this time, selling marmalade and mulberry sauce, she actually made dried mulberries and mulberry wine, but mulberry wine still needs a few months to be able to come out, and the taste of dried mulberries is not as good as the taste of sauce, so it is not very popular.
With this money, Jiang Yuanyuan ordered a small shop at a low price, a very small shop, there is a hall in the front, a kitchen and toilet and two rooms in the back, and a small yard in the back, and it is only ten steps away from the back door to the courtyard wall, but Jiang Yuanyuan is still very satisfied with this place, although this place is small, but it is enough to sell a small dried fish.
I hired a worker to dig the cellar, built a very hard shelf with wood, and then simply renovated the store, bought several wooden boxes, the box was covered with oiled paper, and the dried fish was spread on it, usually covered with a lid, around a whole circle, there were all kinds of fish, just from the left door of the store to enter, after walking a circle, from the right door out, very convenient.
Because the dried fish is weighed, how much do you want to weigh it, but it is sold in twos and twos, so the store has prepared two scales, one balance scale, and one big scale.
It's been more than a month since all the renovations were completed, and it's almost May.
Because she opened another shop, so she was going to recruit another shopkeeper, this time, Jiang Yuanyuan was recruited by the academy, she heard the shopkeeper Wang and herself say that in the academy, there are many female gentlemen who can settle accounts, but they usually give some official ladies a class on weekdays, and more of them are just cleaning the library and cleaning the classroom, and they can't get any reuse, although they are recruited into the female gentleman, but they do the same thing as a maid slave.
After hearing such news, Jiang Yuanyuan had the heart to help, so she went to this Xiaoyang Academy, and after expressing her intention, the dean was very surprised, but he also called all the female gentlemen.
Jiang Yuanyuan explained her intentions, and then asked these people to introduce themselves, and finally chose a widow who had no husband.
Jiang Yuanyuan had learned about the situation of the female gentleman here with the students before she came, according to the students' complaints, some of them have a little character problems, and some are a little wooden, pick and choose, but there are two or three female gentlemen who are very good, but one of them is already in his sixties, so old, Jiang Yuanyuan is not fragrant and let her follow the run, and the other is very serious, everyone is this gentleman is good, but he is not very flexible.
The last one is the one Jiang Yuanyuan selected, surnamed Shu, called Shu Yun, she is still young, it is said that she married at the age of eighteen, but her husband died within two years, her own family conditions were okay before, so she has studied and has been working in the library of the academy, her mother-in-law has always disliked her, but she can't resist her son, and as a result, she married back this daughter-in-law, not to mention that her son died, and she didn't leave a son and a half daughter, and her in-laws didn't like it even more, and swept her out of the door directly.
Later, she lived alone in the academy, and there were only two classes in half a month, and more often she was cleaning, and then went to the library to read books, and helped organize the copywriting by the way.
She is now twenty or eight years old, and she doesn't look protruding when she stands out in a group of female gentlemen, she is very ordinary, but it is this simple ordinariness that makes Jiang Yuanyuan determined to choose her.
First, the identity is simple, and second, this person seems to have a momentum that would rather not bend.
told Shu Yun about his intentions, Shu Yun was also very interested, agreed without saying a word, resigned from the academy and followed Jiang Yuanyuan.
The female gentleman has very little work in the academy, there is no need to hand over at all, and the dean really wants to lay off people, so he let people go very happily, Shu Yun cleaned up his clothes and left, a simple package, there are two clothes and two pairs of shoes in it, and the simple one can't be simpler.
On the way back, Jiang Yuanyuan simply told Shu Yun about the things she wanted to sell and the business model, and also told Shu Yun that the "Kelaiju" on the other side was also her shop, and if there was anything, she could come to her.
One of the rooms of this small shop is used to put dried fish, and the other is used for Shu Yun to live, this room Jiang Yuanyuan has cleaned, there are not many things in it, it is very simple, Shu Yun is very happy when she goes in, she doesn't like to talk much, she has been holding a notebook to record what Jiang Yuanyuan said during the journey, Jiang Yuanyuan still likes Shu Yun, she took Bai Xue and introduced Shu Yun again, and then told Shu Yun that the opening day was temporarily set for three days later, Shu Yun nodded, explaining that he would be familiar with these things.
Returned to the inn with Bai Xue, Jiang Yuanyuan went to the back kitchen, the inn was hot at this time, Jiang Yuanyuan called Xiao'er to move the dried fish in her small kitchen to the store, there is a chef in her inn, since she ate the small dried fish she made, she was impressed, this month has been courteous, want Jiang Yuanyuan to accept him as an apprentice, Jiang Yuanyuan has a test of his thoughts, has been very cold to him, but this person did not give up, every day eyes glow at himself.
Jiang Yuanyuan put Bai Xue on the side of the shopkeeper Wang and asked the shopkeeper Wang to help take it, Bai Xue can be said to be the little cutie that all of them spoil, the shopkeeper Wang likes to take Bai Xue to play with the abacus, and the shopkeeper Wang also said, maybe at this age, looking at such a young person, it will always make him feel soft-hearted, just like looking at his grandson.
I took a few looks at the back kitchen, it was steaming inside, I felt hot when I looked at it, Jiang Yuanyuan didn't go in, just watched in the corner on the side, there were three chefs in the main spoon, and there were more than a dozen miscellaneous people, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and matching materials.
The three chefs are concentrating on the work in hand, Chef Huang Xuan, who has always wanted to worship Jiang Yuanyuan as a teacher, is also waving a big shovel to stir-fry, he is actually quite young, twenty-six years old this year, but there are already two sons and a daughter in the family, the eldest son is seven years old, and the youngest son is only a few months old, and he is waiting to be fed.
After watching them finish a round, Huang Xuan stood aside and breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped his sweat, walked to the side and was about to wash his face, he saw Jiang Yuanyuan standing by the door, Huang Xuan's eyes lit up, quickly washed the sweat on his face, wiped the water on his body with a clean towel, and rushed out quickly, he took the initiative to bend down to say hello, and was about to ask Jiang Yuanyuan if he wanted to eat anything, but saw Jiang Yuanyuan walking to the side and waving his hand at him.
Huang Xuan scratched his head and walked over, walked to the small kitchen on the side, Jiang Yuanyuan signaled the stove below, Huang Xuan looked at it, and understood at once, this is what he means to make a fire.
A normal chef will inevitably feel unconvinced if he encounters something that wants to make his own fire, but Huang Xuan feels that it is his honor, he has been an apprentice since he was eight years old, and he started from making fire, and now Jiang Yuanyuan asked him to make a fire, he felt that this was Jiang Yuanyuan's willingness to accept him as an apprentice.
Happily sat down to make a fire, Huang Xuan rubbed his hands excitedly, he kept adding firewood to it, watching the fire inside getting stronger and stronger, his heart became more and more happy, knowing that the wood jumped loudly, which made him react, he hurriedly stood up, and said a little nervously: "Fire, is it too big." ”
Jiang Yuanyuan glanced at Huang Xuan with a smile, she got water into the pot and was brushing the pot.
Huang Xuan silently sat down and took out the wood inside one by one and put it below, watching the fire slowly decrease, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
