The guests and hosts had a great time, and after lunch, they sat down to eat and talk.
Old man Xu asked Fang Changxu about the situation in Yunzhou.
Speaking of this, Ms. Fang Xu remembered that she still had a little niece she hadn't seen yet. This little niece was less than three years old when she got married. Unlike the others in Chunhe, she was a little too embarrassed to be married.
Fang Changxu really knew about this, he just heard the news yesterday.
He was just about to talk about it.
"Yunzhou has been captured by the army of the patron king. At present, the army of the patron king is stationed in Cangzhen, which is less than fifty miles away from Huiyang Mansion. It can attack Qingzhou at any time. I heard that Jiang Zhoumu has gathered most of Qingzhou's troops in Huiyang.
I went to Yang Mansion, but I guess the chance of winning is not good."
The patron king started the rebellion in Anzhou and was invincible. In more than half a year, he captured the two states with great momentum.
As for the man on the throne in the palace, I heard that a few months ago he was hunting in the autumn at the royal hunting ground on the outskirts of Beijing.
If you want him to be a treasonous person who only cares about pleasure, how can he hold that position securely?
Fang Changxu put his distant thoughts back and saw that his eldest brother's family, including his wife, were all in panic. He couldn't help but said quickly: "Don't worry, Chunxi's family should be fine. Although the patron king rebelled, he fought all the way and all the officers and soldiers surrendered.
If he doesn't kill, he won't disturb the people at all.
Originally, this recipe belonged to Liu Lang, and the business probably relied on him to promote it, but Old Man Xu didn't give him the extra ten coins because Liu Lang was still reading, and this was also the official's expense.
The key point is that the current emperor has more than ten princesses, but not a single prince. The power of this country of Yan is about to be exhausted.
Mrs. Fang Xu was reluctant to leave, but she didn't force her to stay. She sent the family out and kept telling them to come often.
"This recipe was a gift from Liulang's classmate, and it was made by Si Ya after thinking about it. At first, Liulang negotiated a business in the school and sold a large order. Our family earned some money, and now we are using it.
With these money as capital, let's set up a shop and start this business.
At this moment, everyone returned to their minds from the shop.
This shop is considered a business of the public, but I thought, now that Da Lang and the others are grown up, it will cost money to get married, and each of you must have money in your hands, so I will help you with the work.
I will also pay you wages, which you keep in your own hands and do not need to be paid to the public.
The group chatted and joked about other gossips, and Old Man Xu said goodbye. They had to go check out the shop in the afternoon.
In Jiangzhou, which was first captured, everything is still prosperous as before, and the people live and work in peace and contentment without being affected at all. Even in the prefectures of Yunzhou that were just captured, the patron kings are working on providing disaster relief and helping the people."
Everyone in the Xu family left Jinyufang and headed straight to Yangliu Lane under the leadership of Old Man Xu.
Fang Changxu didn't have to say what he was thinking in front of so many people. He paused and said: "So, even if the army of the patron king is about to attack Qingzhou, there is no need to worry. We ordinary people should do what we want."
Just do whatever you want and live your life."
After working in Fumanlou for so many days, she has gained some experience. Yangliu Lane is in a good location and the shops are not cheap.
"Is this really the shop our family rents?" Ms. Zhou couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Old man Xu is the shopkeeper, and he plans to let the steady Erlang be the waiter to help greet the customers. They can just keep an eye on the front of the shop. Si Ya is going to be the accountant and has to do the accounting every day. It is more convenient for Wu to stay in the shop.
Ya mainly has Si Ya as a companion.
Everyone in the family knew that the shop was going to be opened to sell toothpaste and other items, but now that the shop was about to open, there were some things that Old Man Xu had to say first.
Everyone is the same. It costs five cents a day. Si Ya, who is responsible for making these things, has the hardest time. It requires a lot of brainpower and has to merge with the work of the accounting office. On top of this, I will give you ten cents more! You don’t have any objections.
Right? Of course, in this case, you can keep half of your second daughter-in-law’s wages at Fumanlou.”
The matter of the shop was decided, but before Old Man Xu could hold a meeting with everyone at home, after hearing what Zhou said, he immediately decided to open it in this shop while everyone was here.
There are four rooms at the back of this shop, two for workshops and two for living in. Someone needs to be kept in the shop every night, so Erlang and I will stay. There are also Siya and Wuya, who come and go every day.
If we stay here, the couple and Sanlang will go back every day and come back the next morning."
Old man Xu listened to some of her opinions, thought about it carefully, and made up his mind.
I have thought about it, the second daughter-in-law does not have to worry about her work in Fumanlou, you can continue to do it unchanged.
Boss, you guys will go to Wangjiawan tomorrow to work for a day, then quit your job with the manager, and then help the family make toothpaste and so on.
Everyone listened attentively, and no one interrupted. Old Xu always dealt with things fairly and spoke reasonably. His son and daughter-in-law were not talkative people, so no one would refute what Old Xu said during meetings.
Besides, there is nothing to say about the salary arrangement. Si Ya is given ten cents more, which is reasonable. The Zhou family does not have the five cents a day's wages at home, so those who work in Fumanlou are left with three cents a month.
Half of the family is the same as the rest of the family. No one has more and no one has less. It’s the same.
The whole family was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. When they entered the shop, they looked left and right, in front of them and in the backyard. Everything they saw was strange.
When the shop door was closed, the family held a meeting in the shop. After searching around, they only found two old and half-tired small benches. Naturally, Old Man Xu and Old Mrs. Xu sat on them, while the others stood.
Squatting down.
As for what will happen next, I can't say for sure now, but we have to provide the goods, so it requires a lot of work. We only have so many people in our family, so it's not appropriate to always invite outsiders.
Naturally, there was no such thing at the moment. They all nodded and waited for Old Man Xu to continue.
Xu Yinyin walked around, and then went to the tooth brushing shop next to her. When she came back, she mentioned various things to old man Xu about how to open the shop.
After listening to Fang Changxu's words, Old Man Xu was really relieved. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart that the old emperor was not worthy of the throne. It would be better to ask the patron king to become the emperor!
He also thought that since Yunzhou had become the territory of the patron king and it was fine, he would still have to look for it at some point and ask someone to send a message to Wuning Mansion.
As Old Man Xu spoke, he looked back and forth at everyone in the family.
Old Man Xu paused for a moment, then continued: "The eldest couple, as well as the eldest son and the second son, you stay at home with your mother, and you will be responsible for doing the work ahead, grinding the herbs, etc., and you will get them when the time comes.
Come to the shop, Si Ya is working in the shop, the third brother, you two, and Erlang, Sanlang and Wu Ya are also in the shop to help.
Everyone's work was arranged in this way. Old man Xu went through it in his mind again, turned around and said to Xu Yinyin: "I think it's better not to hire people for now, wait until we open the business and see the business later, Siya you
Do you think so?"
Xu Yinyin nodded, "I listen to grandpa."
The grandfather and grandson also talked about how to arrange these things in the shop. You said something to me, which made Xu Chunhe and others feel like they were dreaming.
Isn't it just a dream? Once upon a time, Siya, who was too lazy to look like anyone and disliked everyone she met and had a loud mouth, was actually able to discuss with her grandfather about making money at home! And she was so reasonable!
