CH.10 Liquor Order
Qin Xiangxiang walked halfway before he remembered that he was going to read in his father's study.
Seeing that Qin wanted to turn back again, Red Sleeves hurriedly stopped her: "Big lady, in fact, you can ask me and Tian Xiang." When the master was not at home, we were bored, so we all read the books in the master's study. ”
Her father Qin Guanlan is still good, no wonder the two of them were named Red Sleeves and Tianxiang. If it were those maids who just wanted to seduce their masters and compete with their mothers and were jealous, her father Qin Guanlan should not appreciate it so much, and he would have sold it a long time ago.
Qin Xiangxiang nodded: "That's good, I won't ask in vain, let the two of you run the foot shop, I don't want to let you work in vain." If the foot shop is running well, you will have a share of the profit every year. ”
Until now, Red Sleeves still thinks that the big lady is a fantasy. The location of the foot shop is so remote, and the diners around it are just poor people who rely on their strength to make a living, how much money can they earn, and they don't lose money.
Qin Xiangxiang covered his mouth and yawned quietly: "I'm a person, I always want to do whatever I think, and you don't need to persuade me." I'm going to make a foot shop. By the way, Redsleeves, tell me about the liquor order. ”
The big lady is serious.
If you lose money horizontally and vertically, you can't lose yourself. Red Sleeves talked to Qin Xiang about Sheng Guo's wine order.
It has been nearly 100 years since the founding of the Shengguo, except for some occasional wars at the border gates, the situation is generally stable, and the lives of the ordinary people in the country are also quite good. In Kyoto, for example, there is no curfew, and the small vendors who do business never rest for 12 hours. If a gentleman wants to go shopping and have fun, there is only all kinds of fun that he can't think of, and there is no money he can't spend.
In Kyoto, which is so prosperous, it is only natural that sake sells very well.
In recent years, the wind and rain in Shengguo have been smooth, and the grain harvest has been abundant, and the government is not so strict with the liquor order, only monopolizing the trading of koji, and does not restrict the behavior of ordinary people to make wine and the amount of liquor.
Hearing this, Qin Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Red sleeves said: "It's not easy to make wine, and the lady doesn't know how to make wine, don't say that you need a lot of money to buy raw materials for winemaking, if the wine is not delicious, no one buys it, then it will also lose money." ”
Qin Xiangxiang covered his mouth and yawned again, and he didn't know if he had listened: "We brew and sell our own food, and only serve it to diners who eat at the foot shop." ”
While speaking, he had already returned to Qin Xiangxiang's small courtyard, Qin Xiangxiang lay down on the bed and commanded the two big maids: "You guys take care of yourself, I'll rest first." ”
It's really said that he will sleep and sleep, and he doesn't look worried at all.
The masters are like this, what else can they do as maids?
Qin Xiangxiang's small courtyard only had one main house, two ear rooms, and a simple stove room. One of the ear rooms was slept by Xu's mother, and Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang had to squeeze into the other ear room, which was short and small, and sat on the bed and looked at each other speechlessly.
After a long time, Tian Xiang whispered: "Sister, why don't we follow the master while the master has not gone far?" "Red Sleeves has ideas better than her, and she is older than her, and Tian Xiang has always listened to Red Sleeves.
Red Sleeves shook his head: "We have no guide, the deed of sale is in the hands of the eldest lady, once we leave the Qin family, we are fugitive slaves, looking at the appearance of the eldest lady, can you spare us?" ”
In Shengguo, fugitive slaves had no chance of gaining the upper hand in the government. If the master said that he would be killed, the government would not make the decision for them.
Tian Xiang frowned: "Don't you save us from living until the master comes back?" ”
Redsleeves couldn't laugh and cry, and said firmly, "I definitely can." Although the eldest lady seems unreliable, I don't think she has any persecution intentions for us. ”
Tian Xiang pouted: "I haven't thought of persecution yet, my sister's hands are rotten." ”
Red Sleeves said: "It's because our previous life was so good. I have the hand to secretly observe the big lady, and it is not as white and tender as ours. ”
"That's her jealousy of us." Tim Xiang said.
Red Sleeves hurriedly pressed Tian Xiang's mouth, with a solemn expression: "You can't say such things again in the future." Big lady, now it's our master. She is also right, if you want the master to come back and open up the joints, you can only use money, and it is a lot of money. ”
Tian Xiang remembered the good days in the past, and couldn't help but feel sad secretly, and said hatefully: "It's all to blame for the slut of the Zhong family, who didn't allow us to go with the master." The heart is so small, no wonder the old man usually doesn't like her. What if you can have a son, it's stupid. ”
Red Sleeves was a little helpless: "If we were in Zhong's position, maybe we wouldn't be better than her." "What housewife can endure her husband being accompanied by two flower-like and understanding young women every day? Although they are innocent with the master.
Tian Xiang opened the topic: "The eldest lady said that she met Yang Dagui in Baoxiang Temple, what happened?" Yang Dagui is the most loyal long-term follower by the master's side, how could he do anything to hurt the eldest lady? "And the eldest lady is quite good at climbing, a little lady who has not been out of the cabinet actually said that the next person will have a private meeting in the outer room, which is really shameful. Didn't she think that her nonsense would have a great impact on the master? You must know that when the lord impeaches other officials for improper style, he usually starts with the matter of men and women. Anyway, Tian Xiang is looking at Qin and thinking about it, which is not pleasing to the eye.
Red sleeves are also a little strange, Yang Dagui has always been kind, and he is polite to them, and he has never seen him have two hearts after following the master for so many years. Could it be that the old man was really angry that Li Zhuang did not speak out to help him in the Jinluan Palace, so he sent Yang Dagui to ...... She shuddered. No, no, Yang Dagui is a weak person like the old man, so Li Zhuang has an entourage by his side, how can he easily kill Li Zhuang?
But Redsleeves didn't dare to dwell on it any further. After all, she is just a pen maid in the master's study.
"Hurry up and rest, don't you have to worry about what the eldest lady wants us to do." Redsleeves said as he lay down on the cramped wooden bed and closed his eyes.
Tian Xiang had no choice but to shut her mouth.
Qin Xiangxiang had already heard two maidservants whispering in the ear room.
She didn't even have to guess to know that the two of them must be talking about themselves.
But she didn't move, just rolled over, her mind churning. In fact, how can she be so calm on the surface, and most of what she shows today is a bluff. Since she was covered by Yang Dagui in Baoxiang Temple last night, her heart was hung in the air and did not fall.
It's just that as soon as she opened her eyes this morning, her father and stepmother left, and the Zhong family came, where did she have time to pity herself, so she had to quickly puff up her chest to meet the storm.
She really wants to make money and do something for her father. Although she has not had a very good life in the past ten years, but every year on the death day of her dead mother, her father still gives her money to add sesame oil, doesn't he?
Running a foot shop is her only way to make money.
But the Zhou family's withdrawal was really unexpected by her. Forget it, she didn't want to marry Zhou Xu's sick man, but now that they have fallen into the ground, she really looks down on the Zhou family for such villain behavior.
Thinking about it in his head, Qin wanted to think about where he could sleep, but he just got up after lying down for a while.
She passed through the chamber and heard the silence inside, and she must have fallen asleep. People who have never done heavy work should be very tired when they are driven to work by her.
Qin Xiangxiang didn't wake them up, but went straight outside by himself. She's going to the foot shop.
The current guard of the Qin family is equivalent to nothing, and after Qin Xiangxiang went out from the side door in a familiar way, Wang Pozi flashed out from behind.
Mrs. Wang squinted, thinking in her heart, if the eldest lady stayed at home obediently, she would not have a chance. It seems that even God will help her.
However, after some drawing and revision, Mu Ting finally completed the slightly rough map of Kyoto.
Of course, it has to be constantly improved.
Mu Ting took Yutu into his arms, listened to the stomachs of his entourage, and said, "In Sweet Water Alley, there is a shop that sells Hu Biscuits, and San Lang and I will go to that house to buy some Hu Biscuits later." "Sweetwater Alley is a few streets away from the foot shop here, and they buy it and come back immediately, and no one else will notice them.
It's not that he doesn't have money, and he also wants to entertain his brothers in Kyoto and taste the delicious delicacies of Kyoto, but now that he is hiding in someone else's territory, and the situation is uncertain, it is better to be cautious.
After thinking about it, he instructed: "You have a good rest here, and we will go back as soon as we go." ”
Mu Ting and Zhu Sanlang had just left on their front feet, and Yao Erlang led the remaining brothers to lie casually in the foot shop.
After a while, the door of the foot shop was opened from the outside, and a thin figure walked in slowly.
