Cheng Xue followed the principle of "listen to others' advice and eat enough" and walked with them through the alley back to the store to pick up the car.
As soon as he entered the house, Bai Zian came over with the red deed that he had just fingerprinted and presented it with both hands.
"Second boss, the girls who agreed to stay are all here. Can the room in the backyard be divided today? Some of them brought things directly here."
Cheng Xue took the deed paper and clicked on the name of the person each time she looked at it. She didn't say how beautiful they were, but they were still pretty and tall. Some of them were only fifteen years old. In modern times, they are all child laborers.
There are a total of twenty-seven waiters and fifteen cooks. Divide them into two shifts, which is more than enough.
There are a total of six dormitories prepared. The rooms are equipped with fire pits and fire walls, cabinets, boxes, and bedding. There is no problem at all for eight adults.
Cheng Xue rolled up the deed paper, nodded and said:
"Just arrange it for them. Seven people can live in each room. When did the tailor say he would come?"
"Back to Madam, Tailor Chang said that Shen Shizheng is ready and all the materials are ready."
Ruifuxiang makes the work clothes for all Kushiro shops in Beijing. Not only do they come out quickly, but they also do good work and are reasonably priced, so they also use them for shabu-shabu shops.
"In this case, after you allocate rooms to them, go to Dunhuang Academy and find Mr. Tan, and tell them to add five cents for each room, and they will be needed in three days. You can keep an eye on the measuring stick in the afternoon. I will go home first. If
Someone wants to find me and ask him to go to his house. These people have to learn their rules, and you will come when the time comes..."
Before he finished speaking, the back door made a "bang" sound and was pushed open by the manager.
Shunxi held on to the door frame, panting, and said intermittently:
"Husband, madam, go back...home...home..."
Not having enough energy, and with the crowd of people in the room, Shunxi cleverly gestured with two fingers to convey the most urgent news.
In this way, everyone else understands except the new girl.
The deed paper in Cheng Xue's hand had been pinched into something ugly, but she still pretended to be calm and scolded:
"What does it look like to be so frizzy? Why don't you quickly go out with Shuangxi to set up a car?"
Seeing this, Bai Zian walked over cooperatively, took her arm and said:
"Don't be upset, madam. I'll ask Sister Bai Shao to take care of him when we get back. Look at his frizzy appearance. I'm afraid Uncle Zhong has forgotten all he taught me."
As he spoke, he took her out the back door. When he reached the carriage, he saluted solemnly——
"Congratulations, Madam, I am very happy. Your servant will prepare the food here properly so that you will not be distracted."
Cheng Xue nodded with a smile, took out a piece of silver from her waist and gave it to her as wedding money.
"I'll leave the ginkgo to you. I'll have Shuangxi drive over to pick her up in two days. I'll ask her to help you in the next two days."
"Yes, thank you madam." Bai Qian saluted again.
Gingguo also bowed her knees excitedly, unable to hide the joy on her face.
Both of them knew that this was a gift from Cheng Xue, allowing their sisters to get together more often. Now that Li Hui has passed the exam, the court will send officials soon, and then Bai Guo will return to his hometown with him, and only Bai Qian will be left in the capital.
The two sisters don’t know when they want to meet again, so they have to cherish these last days.
When Cheng Xue got into the car, she patted Shun Xi on the shoulder and silently praised what he had just done.
He actually won the second place on the list. Their expectation was that first place in the second class would be the best result. After all, compared with those young masters from wealthy families, even if he had the foundation, he could not be compared with them. But he just exceeded it.
expectations, so they still have a halo, and the halo is not small.
Shuangxi used his special skills to catch the carriage, avoiding the crowded road. Although it saved a distance, it took less time than usual. There were no people on the road, everyone had gone to watch the fun, and the carriage could start running. Cheng Xue sat on the curtain and listened.
Shunxi reported outside and breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Li Yue had given the messenger twenty taels of silver.
She is not worried about Bai Shao. After all, the child has worked in a wealthy family and knows the rules. But all the money left to the family is handled by the eldest daughter. She knows how to raise it. She is a player who can't wait to break into three parts for a penny.
, she was really worried that the little girl only gave two taels of silver in order to save money.
Although you can give them as much money as you like, if you give more, they will naturally ask for some news they want to know. For example, Xiao Qinglin won the top prize, and Zhou Fei won the Chuanlu. She didn't know the top pick, but it was said that he was from Luzhou, and there were five out of thirty.
, in the prime of life.
At this moment, she wished she could fly home directly and wait for the "hero's triumphant return".
"... Madam, don't worry, the person who brought the good news said that the master and the others will be back after finishing their tour."
"Hmm...hmm!"
Cheng Xue was too excited to speak and could only respond with nasal sounds.
I have been here for more than two years and passed the exam. Even though it took only a short time, only those who have experienced it and witnessed it with their own eyes have the right to speak.
Last time he said he wanted to eat smoked chicken, so let's go back and make another one today. Let's make him a few spicy dishes, which he likes the most. After the exam, he will go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors soon and cook the chicken from the skewers house.
You must also seize the time when opening a business...
I think more and my emotions gradually stabilize, no longer as uncontrollable as before.
Finally, the carriage stopped, and before they could lift the curtain, Cheng Xue jumped out and walked quickly to the front yard.
The white peony root has already been brought along, and Tiandong begins to set up the offering table and put the incense burner.
This is a custom in Liangyan. Those who have passed the exam have to worship the sky, the earth, and their ancestors at home when they come back from the streets.
Li Yue saw her mother coming back with sharp eyes, ran forward in a few steps and said:
"Mom, my dad won the second place. Please go back to your room and put on the red clothes I made for you. Happy."
"Yes, mother, please put it on. The flowers on it were painted by me and embroidered by my sister." Li Tian also persuaded her.
Li Huai took action directly and dragged her towards the main courtyard.
She was too busy to spend time with the child during this period, and when she pulled her, she realized that the little guy's hands were quite strong. Although Wen Tian took Li Heng and the others out for training, Li Huai's training continued every day. Xu was
She often jumps around, but she always feels that the child has grown again. Looking back at sister Li Yue, Li Tian has already reached her sister's arm.
After finishing the opening of the shabu-shabu shop, she had to stop and spend time with her children.
Changing into red clothes, Cheng Xue felt that it was a bit exaggerated. Just when she was about to change, Bai Shao came in to help her adjust her collar and prepare to put on makeup.
"No, don't make it too grand. I can't stand it, and neither can he. I'm going to the kitchen to cook, and he'll be back later."
Turning to leave, Bai Shao took her arm and walked to the dressing table and said:
"Madam, according to the rules of our court, you must be there when the master comes back to pray to heaven. You must also burn incense and bathe in advance, wash your hands and meditate to show respect. Your servant has already reduced a lot of procedures for you, and you cannot reduce your makeup anymore. Sometimes
The Ministry of Civil Affairs will send people down to inspect, so we have to be careful."
"Oh, okay, I understand." Cheng Xue didn't dare to mess around anymore and sat on the chair obediently.
