When Qingyu and Xu Lan returned to Taoyaju, they unexpectedly saw a person at the door. He was dressed in straight clothes, with a tall and straight posture, and was very energetic. It could be seen that he had been carefully tidied up.
Hearing the voice, the man turned around, his face suddenly filled with joy, and he quickly stepped forward and held hands with Qingyu: "Miss, I have taken care of everything. I wonder if it is appropriate to come here now."
Qingyu said hello, "You came at the right time." Then he introduced to Xu Lan: "This is the manager of Juxianzhai, Ye Qiu, who I invited. From now on, he will take care of the accounts of Juxianzhai."
He said to Ye Qiu: "This is the master spoon of my Juxian Zhai, Xu Lan."
Ye Qiu and Xu Lan met each other, and both of them saw surprise on each other's faces.
Ye Qiu thought to himself, at such a young age, and also a girl, she was actually the master spoon of Juxian Zhai? There was a bit of confusion in his eyes.
Xu Lan was also thinking that this person was unfamiliar to her and she had never seen him before. Where did the third lady find him? There was some doubt in his eyes.
Qingyu opened the door, invited Ye Qiu into the courtyard, and asked, "Have you had lunch?"
Ye Qiu was actually very excited. As Qingyu opened the door to the courtyard, his heart jumped sharply. This was the residence of the master of the Shange Pavilion. He really didn't expect that he, a waiter, could one day be able to
So close to the Immortal Master.
You must know that Shange is an existence in Yinzhou, from officials and merchants to ordinary people, who want to show their good will. How can he be so virtuous and capable that he can actually have a relationship with the immortal master at this moment?
Therefore, when Qingyu asked him, he was still a little unresponsive. As he walked into the courtyard, his eyes were completely attracted by the courtyard. The garden was filled with spring scenery, birds singing and flowers fragrant, and the breeze was gentle. The inside and outside of the courtyard seemed to be like heaven and earth.
Ye Qiu was completely stunned, looking left and right at a loss. It wasn't until he didn't pay attention to the front and almost hit the screen wall that he came back to his senses. Then he said to Qingyu in hindsight: "I haven't eaten it yet."
He has actually been waiting for more than an hour.
Qingyu then said to Xu Lan: "Sister Lan, give me two of our Juxianzhai's signature dishes to be cooked by Shopkeeper Ye."
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed uncontrollable excitement. The shopkeeper, he was just a waiter in the past, but when he stepped into this courtyard, he was a real shopkeeper.
Flowers were in clusters, bees were flying and butterflies were dancing, and the nose was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers. The simple floor tiles were as solid as if they were leaning against a big mountain. At this moment, Ye Qiu really felt that he had stepped into a fairyland. He seemed to have seen it.
own glorious future.
Xu Lan was happy and agreed with a yes.
Only then did Ye Qiu come back to his senses and quickly thanked Xu Lan. He was laughing at himself. Although he warned himself before going out to be cautious and not to be rude, today he was frequently absent-minded.
Xu Lan returned the greeting and went directly to the kitchen.
Qingyu took Ye Qiu for a walk around the front yard first, and Ye Qiu was amazed all the way.
The two finally came to the reverse house. Qingyu pointed to a row of houses and said, "Now this row of houses is the only one left in the yard. If you don't mind, you can live here from now on."
Being able to live in the Pavilion Master's house was already a great blessing for Ye Qiu. How could he still mind? He quickly handed over his hand and said, "Thank you, Miss."
Qingyu took Ye Qiu into the inner courtyard again, walked around for the same time, and then went to the main room to sit down and talk.
She took out the recruitment notice and handed it to Ye Qiu, "You know the Zhao Mansion outside the Zhao family, right? From now on, that will be Juxianzhai."
Ye Qiu was shocked. The reputation of the Zhao family was so well known to him that he really didn't expect Juxianzhai to be there. Could there be something involving Zhao Yuanwai behind Juxianzhai?
Qingyu seemed to notice his doubts and said: "We bought that mansion."
Ye Qiu suddenly nodded, then looked at the recruitment notice carefully, and couldn't hide his surprise. This calligraphy was even better than the sign of Fengle Building. You must know that the sign of Fengle Building was written by the best calligraphers in Yinzhou.
Moreover, they actually hired female workers. Ye Qiu didn't have any special thoughts about this. After all, he would also make a living in the hands of this young lady in the future.
"Miss, the wages are higher than those in ordinary restaurants," he said.
Qingyu hummed, "This way we can recruit better long-term workers and retain them."
Ye Qiu secretly sighed, this young lady looked young, but she was very mature and steady in her actions and words, which made him couldn't help but respect her.
"In addition, there is something you need to do." Qingyu said again.
Ye Qiu quickly put down the recruitment notice and listened carefully.
"You go to Chunmanlou tonight." Qingyu took out the money bag containing fifty taels and handed it to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu was startled and felt awkward on his face, but he still asked: "Why are you going to Chunmanlou?"
"Go buy something. If Chunmanlou doesn't have it, ask the madam where it can be found. Besides..."
Qingyu took out another ten taels of silver and put it in Ye Qiu's hand, "If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you can go to Juxianzhai for a walk. Use this silver to buy yourself an abacus of your choice. The extra money can be spent as you wish.
.”
Ye Qiu's face turned red with excitement. When he came here, he actually wanted to buy an abacus, but after asking about the price, he found it was not cheap, so he had to give up temporarily.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he was given ten taels of silver, which was equivalent to his two years' wages at Fengle Tower.
Ye Qiu was grateful and moved. He secretly swore in his heart that he would not let down the trust of the young lady. On his face, he said firmly: "Thank you very much, young lady. I have been so kind to you today. Ye Qiu will never forget it."
Qingyu waved her hand nonchalantly, "The accounting room is also the facade of Juxianzhai."
Having said that, Ye Qiu was even more moved by this trust. He was not shy and accepted all the money.
Qingyu then handed over the price of the food to Ye Qiu. From now on, he would be the shopkeeper of Juxianzhai, so he would naturally be familiar with the prices.
Ye Qiu also understood, and immediately took the food list and memorized it carefully. Not only the price, but also the hundred food lists, he also had to know them by heart.
With the food list on his back, Qingyu went back to his room to continue writing the recruitment notice.
Ye Qiu hadn't memorized the food list for long when he heard Xu Lan shouting "It's time to eat" from the dining room. He quickly looked for the sound and went there.
...
When we arrived at the dining room, we could smell the aroma of food before entering the dining room.
Ye Qiu works as a waiter in Fengle Building and has never tasted or smelled anything delicious, but the aroma of this food is completely different from the ordinary taste. The aroma is very unique, but it can stimulate the tongue. Just smelling it,
My mouth is filled with saliva.
"It smells so good." He couldn't help but praise it and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Xu."
One dish, one soup and one meal. Ye Qiu recalled the food list he had just memorized and guessed: "This smells faint of tangerine peel, which is very appetizing. Could it be Buddha's Hand Chicken with Tangerine Peel?"
Xu Lan hummed, "Try it?"
Ye Qiu took a slight breath of the aroma, and his saliva secreted unconsciously. He tore another piece of chicken, took a bite, and tasted it carefully. He immediately put the chicken down, stood up, and bowed solemnly to Xu Lan:
"I was very disrespectful to the girl before, so I want to apologize to her."
Xu Lan waved her hand nonchalantly, "Sir, you're welcome. Then you can eat while I have something else to do to find the third lady."
Ye Qiu cupped his hands again, watched Xu Lan leave, then sat down and started to talk about Feng Juan Yun Can.
...
Xu Lan came to Qingyu's house and said to Qingyu: "Miss Third, I will go out to check the seasoning in the afternoon."
Qingyu put down her pen, took twenty taels of silver and handed it to her, "You can buy some raw materials by the way. We have bought sauces sold outside before, but they are not as delicious as yours. We can make some homemade ones."
He added: "I will recruit more people for you later to make special seasonings.
In addition, the common production techniques are similar, and the taste will not be particularly outstanding. You can try it and see if you can add some fragrant herbs or some flavor-enhancing herbs. It is best to create a taste that only Juxianzhai has.
"
After hearing this, Xu Lan was overjoyed and said, "Miss Third said, I will go now." Then she took the money and left in a hurry.
