Everything went well.

Not long after, Zhuang Zhaiya came to Zhao's house to reply to Zhao Sichen, saying that he had traveled all over Daqing City and found more than ten sets of houses in the city, which might be able to meet Zhao Sichen's requirements, and asked Zhao Sichen to go and see if he was free.

Zhao Sichen glanced at it, didn't toss, and quickly settled down.

In a place not far from the restaurant, a house was rented for maids and cooks.

The house was in a residential area, surrounded by ordinary people, the house was a good size, clean and tidy, and the rent was quite reasonable.

The maids and cooks walked for less than a quarter of an hour to reach the Zhao family's restaurant.

Zhao Sichen chose another house on the outskirts of the city.

The house on the outskirts of the city has a large yard, and the environment is relatively quiet, and there are not many neighbors around.

Although it is located on the outskirts of the city, it is not too far from the city, and it can be reached in an hour by horse-drawn carriage from home.

The house on the outskirts of the city has a large courtyard, and the sunlight from the patio is sprinkled in the courtyard, shining on the red bricks all over the ground, quiet and gentle.

The houses in the house are not ornately decorated, but fortunately they are spacious and sturdy, which is quite practical.

Zhao Sichen took a fancy to the good sunshine of this patio, although the rental price was not cheap, she immediately nodded and settled.

After Zhao Sichen settled down, he asked Steward Zhuo and Zhuang Zhaiya to go through the follow-up procedures.

In a short period of time, Zhuang Zhaiya people have made three businesses, one house for sale, and two houses for rent.

And Zhao Sichen has a bold personality, and he made up his mind on the spot, which also saved him a lot of tossing.

Zhuang Zhaiyaren was full of joy and red face, and said to Zhao Sichen again and again: "Miss Zhao has excellent vision, and the few houses selected are all the best in the same area. Miss Zhao's business will definitely be prosperous in the future. ”

Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "Thank you for your words, in the future, our business will really start, and we need other houses and shops, so I will have to trouble you." ”

Zhuang Zhaiya bowed down and said with a smile: "Miss Zhao will do her best if she is in need." ”

"But ......" Zhao Sichen looked at the boss of the tooth shop with a smile, and said slowly: "Boss, you know, we are in business, and we have recipes handed down from our ancestors, so it's not good for others to know, and I don't want others to disturb ......"

The boss of the tooth shop is well-informed, Zhao Sichen has not finished speaking, he already knows what Zhao Sichen means, and said again and again: "Miss Zhao, don't worry, in our business, dealing with others all day long, the tone of mouth is the most important." We will keep it a secret and will never leak a trace of information and let others disturb you. ”

Zhao Sichen smiled: "That's it, it's me who is too talkative." You are old businessmen, so you naturally know better than me. ”

Zhuang Zhaiya smiled: "Thanks to the girl's reminder." ”

The two of them chatted for a while, and Zhao Sichen called Steward Zhuo and asked Steward Zhuo to pay the commission for the rent, and then give Zhuang Zhaiya an extra red envelope.

Xide Zhuang Zhaiya people are again and again.

Zhao Sichen has become the most popular customer of Zhuang Zhaiyaren.

There are few things, the decision is fast, the people are happy, and they are bold enough.

Seeing that the matter of the servants and the house was over, Zhao Sichen breathed a sigh of relief and began to be busy with the trivial matters of the opening of the restaurant.

All kinds of soft in the restaurant have to be reorganized.

Curtains, backrests, handguards, handkerchiefs and other fabrics need to be grasped by the embroiderer.

Ornaments such as incense burners, hand stoves, and kang screens should be both elegant and meticulous.

Vegetable plates, tea trays, tea cups, and chopsticks need to be made of fine white porcelain from Jingdezhen.

The clothes of the maids and cooks should be tailored one by one.

The style of the table and chair is very important, and it is necessary to choose the style and let the carpenter create it.

The sample made by the old man was very good, and the distillation test was successful once, so he had to make another batch and send it back.

By the way, I also want Sister Yunbi to draw up a menu together.

……

……

Zhao Sichen is very busy every day, getting up before dawn in the morning, and getting home at night close to the curfew.

Coming and going with two dark circles under his eyes every day, he was originally slender, but he lost five or six pounds in the past few days.

Zhao Sichen only hated that he hadn't grown more three heads and six arms, and he could deal with more things every day.

As soon as she opened her eyes every day, Yunbi, Steward Zhuo, Aunt Zhuo, merchants everywhere, and subordinates were already lining up outside her door waiting for her to make various decisions.

Early in the morning, Zhao Sichen was busy and took Steward Zhuo to Jia Xiucai's house in the south of the city.

Jia Xiucai finished breakfast at home and was just about to go out.

As soon as Xiaochai's door opened, Jia Xiucai shouted "yo".

"Miss, why are you here!"

When Jia Xiucai saw Zhao Sichen, he was surprised and delighted, first hurriedly saluted, and then hurriedly stretched out his hand to let the person into the door.

Aunt Jia was cleaning up the tables and chairs in the hall, and when she heard Jia Xiucai's voice, she hurriedly came out of the house.

She wiped her hands on her apron and brushed her hair to make herself look neat.

Zhao Sichen walked inside, stood in the courtyard, and stopped.

Today, she didn't come to find Jia Xiucai, but to find another person-

Aunt Jia.

Jia Xiucai is honest and reliable, and his wife was originally Xiucai's daughter, who understands literature and ink, and is literate and calculus.

In addition to being literate, Aunt Jia is diligent and enthusiastic, and she doesn't seem to be able to do as well as Jia Xiucai.

Aunt Jia went to the courtyard and saluted Zhao Sichen, and hurried to the kitchen.

Zhao Sichen knew that Aunt Jia was going to boil water and make tea, so he hurriedly stopped her and said, "Aunt Jia, don't be busy." I have other things to attend to today, just stopping by to see you guys. Leave in a while, no need to boil water to make tea. ”

Aunt Jia didn't stop, and said, "That's not good, it's a guest, why don't you have to have a cup of tea before leaving." ”

As he spoke, he asked again, "Miss Zhao, Uncle Zhuo, have you had breakfast?" There's porridge in the kitchen, I'll bring it to you, and I'll make a few side dishes and fry an egg......"

Steward Zhuo said with a smile: "Aunt Jia, we have already had breakfast at home. The eldest lady came over today, and she really has something to talk about, and she is not polite to you. ”

Aunt Jia listened to Steward Zhuo's words, stopped, and said with a smile: "That's okay, that's okay, then I'll be rude......"

She saw Jia Xiucai standing still, and hurriedly greeted the guests again: "Miss Zhao, Uncle Zhuo, please come into the house and sit down to talk." ”

Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "I'm not busy, I'll leave if I ask a word-"

Jia Xiucai thought that he was asking about the repair of the house, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked, "Is there something wrong with the house?" ”

"Everything is going well at home." Zhao Sichen looked at Aunt Jia and asked, "Aunt Jia, I plan to open an essential oil workshop on the outskirts of the city, and there is a shortage of a steward." Would you like to be in charge of an essential oil factory? ”

Aunt Jia was stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a while.

Zhao Sichen looked at her with a slight smile and waited for her to respond.

Aunt Jia was a little flustered, she looked at Steward Zhuo, and then at Jia Xiucai.

Steward Zhuo smiled and encouraged her with his eyes.

Jia Xiucai also looked ignorant.

Aunt Jia looked at Zhao Sichen hesitantly: "Steward?" I? ”

"Yes." Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "There are more than ten maids in the workshop, and there are no men. All these men are at your command. ”

Aunt Jia panicked, she looked at Jia Xiucai and asked her husband for support: "I, I, I haven't been a ...... in charge."

Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "No one is born to know anything." Just learn slowly. There's not much going on in the workshop, and you don't need to worry about it, just help me watch the maids not be lazy and playful. ”

Aunt Jia was still very panicked: "I still have to take care of the ...... at home"

Zhao Sichen said: "I heard that your mother-in-law is still in good health, can you ask her to take care of the children at home." ”

Jia Xiucai's mother lives in the countryside not far from Daqing City.

Jia Xiucai has always wanted to bring his mother to the city, but his family is poor.

If Aunt Jia goes out to work, the family has income, and it is also a beautiful thing to bring her mother to the family for reunion.

Aunt Jia also thought of this, and then looked at Zhao Sichen's expression, and her flustered heart was inexplicably calmer.

Steward Zhuo helped on the side: "Aunt Jia, you know a few words, and you know how to do arithmetic and make accounts, such a talent is very rare......"

Zhao Sichen said: "Yes, how many daughters of big families may not know a few words. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Sichen sighed secretly in his heart.

The literacy rate in this era is really low.

If Aunt Jia hadn't been for her father, who was also a showman, Xiucai taught her daughter to read and write, but I was afraid that she, like many girls, would be blind for the rest of her life.

"That'...... What should I do with the work at home......"

Aunt Jia was moved, but when she thought of a pair of children at home, she was still relieved.

Besides, Jia Xiucai is now out all day and returns home at night, and needs someone to serve hot dishes to eat, hot water to scald his feet......

Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "Don't you still have a mother-in-law at home?" You can also hire another helper. The child is now older, and it is enough for your mother-in-law to help take care of it. ”

Zhao Sichen calculated the accounts for Aunt Zhuo: "You are the female steward of my Zhao Mansion." The steward of the Zhao family is 3 taels of silver a month's silver, and if you do a good job, you will be rewarded at the end of the year.

If you go outside and hire a helper to wash and wash the pulp, it's only 500 yuan a month.

In addition to the domestic helper's fee, you can have more than 2 taels of silver.

You can use the extra money to cover your family's expenses......"

The money was moving, and Aunt Jia gritted her teeth: "I should go!" ”

After speaking, she remembered that Jia Xiucai was on the side, and hurriedly looked at her husband.

Jia Xiucai was looking at Aunt Jia with a slight smile.

Seeing Aunt Jia looking over, Jia Xiucai nodded and said, "In the past few years, you have been trapped at home, serving the family, and you have worked hard. If you want to go, just go down, don't worry about home. ”

Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "Jia Xiucai, don't blame me in your heart for taking Aunt Jia away." ”

Zhao Sichen was just joking, but he didn't expect Jia Xiucai to give her a salute at a glance: "Miss, thank you for giving us the opportunity to get out of this small world." ”

Zhao Sichen hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "Jia Xiucai, your etiquette is too complete, which makes me too stressed." ”

The group agreed, Zhao Sichen took Aunt Jia to the carriage at the mouth of the alley, and turned around and shouted Jia Xiucai: "Jia Xiucai will also go together." ”

"Me?" Jia Xiucai was suddenly named, a little inexplicable.

He has a wooden personality and is not a flexible person in terms of human sophistication.

Hearing Zhao Sichen say this, although he had doubts in his heart, he also followed and got into the carriage.
