Chapter 537: Development and Change
The old ministers are privately rumoring: because they drank the fruit wine rewarded by the emperor, they used to be bedridden for many years, and now they can get up and move; Whoever is who, when he was young, he followed the Emperor Taishang to fight in the south and the north, and fell into an old wound, drank the wine rewarded by the Emperor, and the old wounds did not hurt after the winter, and his legs and feet were much more flexible......
Take the Emperor Taishang as an example, when he was young, he fought for many years, and he was a famous desperate Saburo, and he always had new injuries and old wounds on his body. Ten years ago, when he gave up the throne to the then imperial grandson, he was just sixty years old, he looked old, sick, and when it was serious, he even had to be supported by people on the horse.
What now? He is in his seventies, and he looks only in his early sixties, which is younger than ten years ago. The whole person seems to have rejuvenated a second time, full of energy, full of red light, and when he hunted in autumn, he also competed with the boys and shot a lot of prey.
In the eyes of the ministers, these changes seem to be inextricably linked to the fruit wine. Although the last imperial fruit wine has only started since this year, the old generals who have a good relationship with the emperor have tasted wine from him, and they will never forget it when they come back.
Therefore, in the hearts of many people, fruit wine is comparable to the panacea of Tong Ren Tang, and it works very well. Many old guys who are old and frail, attached to power, and refuse to recognize the old and wise people, have inquired about the origin of fruit wine in private. However, apart from the royal family, few people knew who paid tribute to the fruit wine, and the few people who knew about it were so tight that they couldn't pry it open. Every time, they are disappointed!
The topic seems to be a bit far, so let's continue to talk about the capable people and maids around Xiaocao. The four big girls who were selected in the house at the beginning, there are still Wutong and loquat by their side, loquat is stable and introverted, and is currently in charge of the upper and lower parts of the Yu Mansion.
Originally, this errand was going to be handed over to Wutong, but after nearly two years of training, this girl is more than enough to be loyal and treat others. However, she volunteered to be a personal girl around the young lady, and she could grow a lot of knowledge and learn a lot of skills. However, Xiaocao's yard is well organized under her care. The little girl in the courtyard was more afraid of her than her own young lady. In this way, it is also adjusted. Teach a lot of people who can use it.
If the sycamore is her left arm, the spring that gradually grows is her right arm. Don't look at the little girl who sometimes twitters, but as soon as she goes out, she has a different face, acting vigorously and resolutely, and has never lost face to the master.
Tanchun, who is younger, is now trying to learn arithmetic from his husband. She saw that it was very hard for her master to read the account book every day, and she wanted to share her master's worries, so she secretly followed the master to learn to read the account book. Xiaocao saw that she was quite self-motivated, so she invited someone to guide her. She is not the only student, there will definitely be more and more industries in the family in the future, and there will definitely be only a lot more account rooms needed, so now it can be regarded as a talent reserve!
Tanchun's goal is to become the most powerful big tent around the master! In the past, only men could serve as the head of the office and the bookkeeper, but now it is different! The master said that a woman can hold up half the sky, she must be the best and the best female account room that those men envy!! However, the most important thing now is to learn the "Arabic numerals" and "multiplication formulas" taught by the master first!
A few maids in the family are busier than her master, and Yu Xiaocao said that there is a lack of heart. However, if there is something for the disciple to do his job, these maids are all taught by her, so what does it matter if they share the industry under their hands?
Therefore, the girl who came out with her this time is still Yingchun and Wutong. Oh! There are also Chunhua and Qiushi, who were sent by King Yangjun to protect her. Speaking of which, Xiaocao still feels a little sorry for these two.
After coming back from the paddock, these two disappeared for a long time, and she thought that she was recalled by Zhu Junyang's guy to run errands! After all, cultivating a female secret guard with high skills and one enemy and ten is not ordinary. But later she learned from the side that Chunhua Qiushi was charged with failing to protect the lord, went back to the torture hall to receive the punishment, and lay on the bed for nearly a month.
If Zhu Junyang wasn't afraid of arousing Xiaocao's suspicion and sadness because of the new person, they would probably not even be able to save their lives. Thinking of his little girl, facing the helpless and frightened appearance of a hungry and crazy tiger alone, Zhu Junyang had an urge to kill.
The little girl looked like she didn't care about it on the surface, but she had nightmares for several days at night. If you change to a delicate lady, I am afraid that I will be scared of a serious illness and lose half of my life.
For Chunhua and Qiushi, who were not protected by the little girl's side at that time, they just let them lie on the bed for a month, in Zhu Junyang's opinion, it was already for the sake of the little girl's face, and they were cheap. Chunhua Qiushi, who was lucky enough to save her life, was more loyal to the "life-saving benefactor", and they naturally followed her on this trip.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai also came back. Although for them, the deep mountains of Dongshan Village and Xishan are their homes. The small mountain bag behind the Huangzhuang is not enough for them to be in trouble, and these two small ones are so aggrieved in the capital that they can't do it. When they were in the paddock, they were able to unleash their nature, and they almost didn't give most of the prey in the paddock. However, the two little ones did not set off with the grass, they picked up the trail and ran all the way back, and by this time they had almost gone to the western mountains to have fun.
Speaking of which, Xiaocao hasn't been to the pickled vegetable shop in Fucheng for a long time. The aunt's family also bought a house in Fucheng for convenience, and they all moved over. The pickled vegetable shop and pickle shop are getting bigger and bigger, and several shops in the vicinity are either bought or replaced, connecting them together. The two shops were made into wholesale and retail shops by the aunt's family.
"Now, there are more than 30 female workers in our shop who have been invited to do odd jobs, but the key technical content is still handed over to the maidservants who are in our hands in the deed of sale. In addition to Huang Xiaomei's family, we bought more than a dozen people in the store, and five of them were also families. Liu Xiaoyan was very excited to see Xiaocao, and took her hand to show her the current kitchen.
The inner courtyards of more than a dozen shops are all opened, and they are all used as braised meat processing workshops, smoked products processing workshops, and roast chicken and roast duck processing workshops...... Among them, the braised meat processing workshop is the largest and is the best-selling in the temple.
"My father and mother sit in the store every day, and in order to be able to understand the account book, my mother learned a lot of words from my father. My father's abacus is also newly learned, and now he is playing quite slippery! My father and mother tasted the bitterness of not being educated, and the younger brother was sent to the school to study at the age of six. My brother and I, as well as my husband, studied for an hour every night. Sometimes, my parents will follow the class! ”
Liu Xiaoyan led Xiaocao into the braised meat processing workshop, where dozens of large stoves were burning with blazing fires, and the cauldrons on the stoves were steaming, and the thick aroma of braised meat came to the face. The workshop is full of snow-white blouses, cyan aprons, and white hats, and although the workshop is a little messy, it is very neat.
"Xiaocao, the hygiene situation you have repeatedly emphasized, even if the shop is big, we have not relaxed. Every day, I am responsible for checking the hygiene of each processing plant, and if I find that there is no conformity, I deduct three days' wages. If you fail to pass three times in total, you will be punished to wash the pig's intestines and do the most tiring and smelly work. Liu Xiaoyan was more satisfied with what she saw and didn't lose her face in front of her cousin.
Yu Xiaocao nodded with satisfaction, and turned her head to see a familiar face. Xiao Mei Niang has faded away from the original cringe and cowardice, and commanded several people under her hands to weigh the ingredients, the ingredients of the ingredients, and the ingredients of the ingredients. Seeing Yu Xiaocao's cousin come in, she smiled warmly and greeted her masters.
Liu Xiaoyan asked her to be busy, there was no need to greet them, she had the prestige of a big shopkeeper, and when she got out of the braised meat processing workshop, she said with a smile: "In the past two years, not only have we grown, but many things have also changed." Xiao Mei Niang blushed when she said a word, but now she is in full swing and is very qualified for the position of the chief steward of the braised meat workshop. ”
After a pause, she said again: "My mother listened to your words and handed over all the rights." As you said, no matter how much money you make, you will lose more when you are tired. The pickle shop is fully handed over to Huang Xiaomei to take care of, and she has learned almost all the pickle skills and various pickle practices you have organized, and she is quite proficient. I'll take you to the pickle shop next door in a while, and you can test her skills? ”
"The braised vegetable workshop was handed over to Xiaomei Niang, and the smoked products were handed over to the daughter-in-law named Lan Ying in the family who bought it later, and their family fled from Sichuan and Chongqing, and everyone over there would smoke meat. She picked it up quickly. ”
"Roast chicken and roast duck, because they are sold in limited quantities, there are not many finished products produced every day, and I usually supervise them. The two people under my hands are also very quick, and I believe that I will be able to get out soon and be my cashier! Liu Xiaoyan likes the feeling of counting money until her hands cramp, so the cashier work is very busy, and she still enjoys it.
"At present, there are several braised vegetable shops in Fucheng that buy goods from us. Not only that, but there are also many wholesale pickles and pickles in the nearby state capitals. The wholesale business in the store is much more profitable than the retail business. Although I let some profits out a little, I can't stand the large number! Speaking of the thriving shop, Liu Xiaoyan gushed endlessly, and it is estimated that she can talk non-stop for three days, and she will not bring the same thing.
"It's the beginning of the year, and there are not many retail shops, but there is a lot of wholesale business. Let's go and see! Liu Xiaoyan pulled the grass and walked to the west, where there were already several queues.
"The wholesale shop opened at dawn, and it wasn't until the end of the day that the crowds almost dispersed. That's when the retail shops started to get busy again. Fortunately, we have enough salesmen, and our hands and feet are also nimble. "A slightly ostentatious tone, is it asking for praise?
Yu Xiaocao was slightly surprised by the development of the braised vegetable shop in Fucheng. Unexpectedly, in just over two years, it has already been scaled. Although the name of the braised vegetable shop is "Yu Ji", it has actually been handed over to the aunt's family.
