Chapter 34 Starting from five taels, the etiquette cannot be abolished
"Market price?"
"Who knows, no one can tell their own maid's monthly money."
Jiang Xing said: "If you know the price, you will shop around, and if you pay less, you won't be able to recruit a servant." ”
In the end, it was older, Jiang Xing's words caused everyone to nod in agreement.
"But there's always a standard, right?" Xiao Fan didn't believe it, there was no rumor in the market at all.
Yu Yourong said: "The previous servants in my family basically had a monthly income of more than five taels. ”
"Five taels?" Everyone's eyes lit up.
Zhang Zongbao couldn't cry or laugh, sister-in-law, you are the capital, your father is still the first assistant, can you compare?
Jiang Xing also smiled: "How can there be five taels in Baishui Town?" ”
Yu Yourong realized that he had missed his mouth and quickly fell silent.
Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Then our family, just follow this standard, five taels will be five taels." ”
"Master?!"
The crowd was shocked.
Zhang Zongbao was also shocked, hurriedly lowered his voice, gritted his teeth beside Xiao Fan and said, "Brother, are you crazy!?" ”
Five taels, that's five taels!
What is this concept?
The yamen errand doesn't get five taels a month!
In other words, Zheng Lun, the head catcher of the Yamen, will not earn more than five taels per month.
One tael of silver is enough for a family of five to eat for a month!
Nine people, forty-five taels a month, is also a huge amount of money for a family that usually hires servants.
Zhang Zongbao felt that the elder brother was really crazy, and no one could afford this price in the entire Dongxia Kingdom except for the aristocratic mansions in the capital.
"It's okay," Xiao Fan signaled Zhang Zongbao not to worry, and then said aloud to everyone, "I am a talker, five taels is a standard, according to your ability and work differently, there is a difference, but it will not be less than five taels." ”
"Sir!?"
The crowd was emotional, and the few people who were in a calm mood could no longer remain silent.
Where is this master, this is Dad!
My father can't give this price!
"Ahem...... Really, sir? When the little chef Zhang Qiao heard this, the calm on her face disappeared, and the indifference in her eyes became full of hope.
Xiao Fan said: "Of course it's true, if your rice is delicious, you can also increase the price." ”
"Hey!" Zhang Qiao's face finally emerged with the brilliance that a little girl should have.
Money is indeed a source of happiness.
"The ......"
Jiang Xing said: "Master, what are you doing, can you give such a high price?" ”
Everyone became nervous again, for fear that Xiao Fan was an extralegal fanatic, so that their monthly money of five taels a month would not be guaranteed.
Xiao Fan said: "I won't hide it from you, I am a businessman, so I went to the tooth store to buy the three of them." ”
As he spoke, Xiao Fan pointed to Zhao Feng, Sun Cheng and Li San, all three of whom were business citizens.
Of course, regardless of any household registration, after selling oneself, it is a slave registration.
However, as long as Xiao Fan is willing to cancel their nationality in the Yamen, they can restore their original household registration status.
And this only requires a small fee.
"I see." The people were no longer puzzled.
People who do business will set up a barrier for themselves to avoid risks, and it is not uncommon for Fadai to be seen now.
After that, Xiao Fan looked at Jiang Xing: "Brother Jiang, you will be the head of the nursing home for me, and when you go out, I will be a guard, and I will give you ten taels of money." ”
"Ten taels?"
Jiang Xing couldn't help but said: "Our contract can be redeemed for one hundred and eighty taels, isn't the master afraid that we will leave after we make money, and you will have no money and no money?" ”
He just felt that there was no such good thing in the world, let alone such a good person.
"yes, brother, what should they do if they run away?" Zhang Zongbao was also worried.
Yu Yourong shook her head, she looked at her husband adoringly, and there was only one thought in her heart.
Such a good master's house, if anyone wants to leave, I'm afraid that there is really a problem with the brain!
Xiao Fan also smiled: "If you want to leave at that time, I will not be embarrassed, you can leave...... But what I want to say is that there is no better master in this world than me. ”
"Indeed......" one agreed.
After all, it starts at five taels a month, which is the standard for the servants of the princes and nobles in the capital, even if they redeem themselves, they don't want to leave!
"Oh yes, your monthly income must be kept secret and not passed on." Xiao Fan reminded solemnly.
The market price of the servants in Whitewater Town is afraid that it will not exceed two taels, especially those who have signed a death deed, and one tael a month is considered excellent.
After all, they are slaves who can be killed at any time, and they are not qualified to negotiate with the master's family at all, and there are mansions without monthly money.
Therefore, Xiao Fan's bid is too high, and if it is spread out to disrupt the market, he will be hated.
"Yes, sir!"
Xiao Fan waved his hand: "Okay, Zongbao, take them to wash, this body is well washed." ”
"Give them soap and wash it clean."
"What?" Zhang Zongbao pursed his lips and said, "Brother, I haven't used soap yet!" ”
Am I not your half-brother anymore!?
Why don't you use good things for me first?!
Xiao Fan was speechless: "I didn't forbid you to use it, right?" ”
"Hehe, then I'll use soap from today onwards!" Zhang Zongbao bared his teeth and smiled like a hundred and fifty pound child.
The crowd wondered what soap was.
"Yourong, you go and rummage through the boxes sent by Li Qingshan and find them some clothes to change." Xiao Fan turned around and said to Yu Yourong gently.
Yu Yourong nodded: "I'll go now." ”
Xiao Fan said: "It's still early, after washing it out, divide the labor for everyone, Zhang Qiao, you will go to the kitchen to cook after you wash it." ”
Yu Yourong felt relaxed, and said happily: "Two people will cook faster." ”
Lang Jun really felt sorry for me, and he specially found someone who could cook.
Xiao Fan said: "Let Zhang Qiao do it, since you have recruited a maid, and let you work as a housewife, what kind of system will it be?" ”
"Huh?" Yu Yourong was pleasantly surprised.
She didn't expect that Zhang Qiao didn't come to share the housework for her, but directly replaced the kitchen.
If you can't work, who wants to work?
Ke Yu Yourong was immediately unhappy again, and said aggrievedly: "Lang Jun thinks that the concubine's body is not delicious?" ”
Zhang Qiao's appearance replaced her cooking; Will there be another woman who will replace her as the housewife?
Yu Yourong didn't have the joy of not working, but worried, she felt that her value lay in these things, and if she didn't let her do it, she was worried that she would be abandoned.
Because people who do nothing mean that they have no value.
"Who said that, sister-in-law, the fat sausage you made is beautiful, better than Piaoxianglou!" Zhang Zongbao praised.
But he didn't want to comfort Yu Yourong, he really thought it was delicious.
The main focus is a simple.
"Alas!"
Xiao Fan knew that Yu Yourong was not confident, and he wanted to please his character at any time, so he said:
"It has nothing to do with this, you are the wife of the master, not the servant of the Xiao family, so it's decided!"
"Lang Jun......" Yu Yourong still wants to fight.
Xiao Fan frowned: "You dare to be disobedient, be careful that I use my family law on you!" ”
Hearing this, Yu Yourong's face turned red.
Zhang Zongbao leaned over in confusion and asked, "Brother, in addition to not being able to gamble, what other family laws do our family have, why don't I know?" ”
Yu Yourong covered his face with his sleeves, and turned around and fled in shame.
Zhang Zongbao was like a fool, still staring at Xiao Fan with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Jiang Xing and others were joking.
……
Dinner, set out in the courtyard.
Two tables put together.
"Sit down." After the dishes were served, Xiao Fan sat at one end.
Yu Yourong sat next to Xiao Fan, and Zhang Zongbao sat on the other side.
Except for Jiang Xing, who was informal, no one else dared to serve on the table.
"Master, we are subordinates, and we can't eat with our masters...... When the master finishes eating, we will eat the rest. Zhang Qiao said respectfully.
"yes, that's rude!" Lin Hu snorted, his kind eyes aimed at someone.
Jiang Xing turned around and glared, "Who are you kid ordering?" ”
"Whoever doesn't have rules points who!" Zhao Feng also snorted.
"Hey, let's practice?" Jiang Xing bared his teeth, he never felt that he was a subordinate, and he always refused to accept this fate in his heart.
Xiao Peng stood up and said, "Jiang Xing, the old man is benevolent, you can't be so presumptuous!" ”
"That's it, how can there be such a good master, you are a little bit of a nose kick in the face!" Li San'er took the opportunity to echo in.
Seeing that everyone was crusading against him, Jiang Xing coughed and stood up stupidly.
His legs are not good yet, but he can't beat these reckless people.
Confession is a kind of wisdom, this is not a green mountain, there is no need to die if there is no oppression.
Seeing that it was almost over, Xiao Fan smiled and said:
"What's the hurry?"
"From now on, everyone eats in the same pot, and my Xiao family doesn't pay too much attention to etiquette."
"You are just working for me, not my minions, you don't have to be so contemptuous, sit down and eat for me."
As soon as these words came out, even if everyone was a little disdainful, their hearts were still stirred.
Who doesn't want to be respected.
"Master, please think twice, the etiquette must not be wasted." Sun Cheng persuaded.
"Master, no!" Qiu Die advised, "In the long run, I am afraid that I will lose my dignity and humility, and I will lose awe in my heart." ”
Everyone nodded secretly.
Xiao Fan said: "I'm not testing you, sit down and eat, it's cold for a while." ”
"......" No one dared to move, Jiang Xing also touched the tip of his nose, he didn't dare to make a head bird now.
"That's it, then separate, you sit at one table, let's sit at one table, okay?" Xiao Fan said helplessly.
The idea of respect and humility has penetrated into the marrow of these people, and people like Rao Youjiang Xing have to follow the crowd.
This is something that needs to be changed in the future, and Xiao Fan doesn't plan to force them.
"This ...... OK. ”
