Knowing that this was a craft taught by the imperial court for free, everyone stood in a circle consciously and watched intently. If they didn't understand something, they asked carefully. Slowly, a fixed order was formed, and Xie Tianqi and the others no longer had to worry. .
Seeing that the order had stabilized, Xie Tianqi smiled and greeted Xie Yushu to go to a quiet place to talk.
"Sister, how smart are you! You can actually make those unpalatable beans so delicious. Yesterday, Mr. Han brought us Dou Fu and Dou Fu Nao, and just after we brought them into the house, our brothers snatched them away. , I just ate a bowl and the bucket bottomed out!
The braised pork was also delicious. These foodies licked the bottom of it and even complained that they didn’t have enough! "
Xie Tianqi's eyes were shining brightly, and his whole body was full of energy. Xie Yushu was also relieved. She seemed to be doing well, so she smiled and said
"Nowadays, the recipes have been spread widely. If you like to eat, let me make it in the kitchen every day. Sooner or later, you will have enough!
By the way, I see your shop is almost ready. When will it open?
When it opens, you can bring Doufu Nao and soy milk for breakfast. The cost is low and the profit is considerable! "
"Brother Liu said the same thing. We plan to price soy milk for one copper coin per large bowl and Dou Fu Nao for two copper coins per bowl. Brother Liu has already found a mother and daughter cook and a half-grown boy to serve as waiters. Each person will be charged a monthly fee. Three hundred coppers, our brothers will come over and take care of it for a while when there is a lot of people, no delay!
Now I'm just waiting for the carpenter to finish the tables, chairs and benches and deliver them. It's almost the same year as before, so I've already found someone to check the date, and it's scheduled to open on the eighth day of the first lunar month! "
"Okay, I'll come to cheer you up when the time comes!"
Do you still remember what I said when I asked you to be Tianjin officials?
In addition to taking care of the ferry boats and tax revenue, the job of Jinli can also lead to a lot of development.
Don't just open a shop. When my villa develops, it will be indispensable for businessmen to come and go. Look at the people you can associate with and make more friends. Also, tell Liu Qiang and ask him to prepare to recruit a group of people. , responsible for the loading and unloading of goods at the dock and standardizing the work at the dock!
Discuss everything with Liu Qiang. You two are young tomorrow. Watch more and practice more. If you have anything, come to the villa to see me. "
Xie Yushu warned again.
"Okay, I'll tell Brother Liu later, by the way, sister, it's almost Chinese New Year, when will you go home?
Brother Liu, we have applied to go to Yonghe County to be responsible for teaching Dou Fu, and we plan to go back on the 25th.
I happened to be teaching in our town for two days and then went home to celebrate the New Year. When I get home, I will make two plates for our parents so that they can also taste something new. Do you want to go with us or wait for two more days? "
Xie Yushu was also planning to talk about this matter. When she saw Xie Tianqi mentioned it, she said directly
"I won't go back during the Chinese New Year. Anyway, I just went back to see my eldest brother after his wedding the other day. My parents have nothing to do. I'm busy making glass over there. I plan to get a batch out before the year and let Mr. Han send it to the palace. .
First of all, new things are still new things that may make a lot of money. After all, it is not good if they don't have a clear path with the emperor.
Secondly, if something is sought after by the nobles in the palace, the common people will seek it out even more and regard it as a treasure.
This road to opening up the business map must be walked steadily without any mistakes. I have to watch it myself before I can rest assured!
I won't go back during the Chinese New Year. I will bring you a batch of glass for your parents to put on when the time comes. "
Xie Tianqi was a little disappointed when he heard that Xie Yushu was not going back, and wanted to persuade her. However, when she heard that Xie Yushu was going to deliver something to the palace, she knew that this matter could not be careless, so she did not persuade her anymore. She only said that if Xie Yushu was busy, she would do it herself. Go to the villa to get it.
Xie Yushu thought that they would have to be busy these days and hit the back of their heads, so she asked Qu Xiaodie and the others to send them over when the time came.
After the two sisters agreed, they each went about their own affairs.
Xie Yushu went to find the candy blower first. It was the end of the year, and there were several candy blowers.
Xie Yushu tried them one by one, and there was a combination of grandfather and grandson. The candy figures played well, were vivid, and were practical in their words and deeds. Xie Yushu bought five of the largest candy figures. Seeing that the two of them bought more, they even gave a small candy figure as a gift.
And no matter what requests Xie Yushu made, the two of them would smile and patiently comply with Xie Yushu's requests.
He seemed to be a good character, so Xie Yushu asked
"Who else is there in the old man's family? How much money can a candy blower make in a day?"
The old man still smiled and said
"There is only one old woman in the family. There has been a severe drought for two years, and both my son and his wife are gone. Now we are the two old guys living with my grandson!"
There are so many people these days, but I can earn twenty or thirty copper coins.
Fortunately, since Mr. Han came, we don’t have to pay protection fees, and the gangsters on the streets have disappeared. Whatever we earn is ours, and we have enough to eat! "
“Then do you, old man, want to change your job and make more money?
I see that your grandson is about 13 or 14 years old, please tell me about your wife! "
When the old man heard this, he sighed and said
“Nowadays, we are old and young, what kind of job can we do?
I am old and can no longer do other work. My grandson is still young and cannot exert much effort, so no one wants him! "
When Xie Yushu saw that the old man didn't want to change, but his condition didn't allow it, she didn't beat around the bush and said directly.
"I am the owner of Yuquan Villa, Xie Yushu, have you ever heard of me?
If you can trust me, I have a job that is particularly suitable for you, and your grandson also has a job of blowing things.
I will give you two five taels of silver each month, and there will be rewards at the end of the year, but you will have to sign a deed of sale. Are you interested in going? "
The old man was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly pulled his grandson to kowtow to Xie Yushu.
"The young man and his grandson kowtow to Mr. Jingde Township!"
Xie Yushu pulled the person up and said
"No need to be polite, just think about what I said! If you can't make a decision now, you can think about it for a day, and I will come back the day after tomorrow to hear your answer."
Xie Yushu knew that signing the deed of sale was a big deal, so she didn't expect the two of them to agree immediately, so she gave her a day to think about it.
But she was anxious in her heart. After all, it was not easy to go back and forth to the capital. How much trouble could be saved by seeing him off in one trip!
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to turn around, the two men fell to their knees.
"Xiangjun, we believe you. We both have heard that your newly researched Doufu prescription was presented to the court for free.
Little old man, I have lived for so many years, and I have only seen people who risked their lives to keep the prescriptions. I have never seen people actively throwing the prescriptions away. I have never had any doufu, but I always think about the common people. Sincerely, we are willing to serve you! "
Xie Yushu said happily
"That's great. I'm in a hurry to hire someone. Nanxing, pack my husband's things and take someone to go through the formalities."
"But what will you do if I leave?"
Nanxing asked worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. I bought the things and went back by myself. Nothing will happen for a while. After you finish the formalities, go directly to my father-in-law's house to pack up the things and take them to the villa together!"
