The next morning, Jia Cong woke up early and turned around to see Qingwen still sleeping soundly.
She shook her head. She was at the right age for drowsiness at this size, so she didn't wake her up. She quietly got out of bed and got dressed.
When he came to the outside, he saw that Yan Hong was also sleeping soundly. Without disturbing her, he quietly opened the door and came to the yard.
The weather in late winter is extremely cold, and the air-conditioning penetrates directly into the body, making people wake up instantly.
Jia Cong stood in the courtyard and moved his hands and feet. He first did a few sets of flexibility movements to stretch his hand tendons and hamstrings.
Then he opened his stance and performed one move of a tiger hugging a calf, followed by another move of a tiger pouncing on food, a tiger climbing a mountain, a tiger leaping into a stream... The tiger roared, and began to practice the "Eight Tiger Moves" one move after another. Gradually, the body It slowly warmed up.
Jia Cong didn't stop until he practiced it a hundred times.
After taking a breath, he then practiced grappling and fighting skills, as well as some of his favorite scattered moves, such as Iron Mountain Back, Scorpion Tail Kick, Progressive Collapse Fist, Tiger Hard Climb, etc.
I have also practiced the Wuming Sword Technique dozens of times. This set lasted for more than an hour. It was really tiring. If I took a medicinal bath directly at this time, the effect would be better.
It's daylight now, everyone has gotten up and is preparing breakfast.
Yue Ya knew her own habits and came over in advance to help her take a bath. After a brief wash, Jia Cong asked her to find Yan Hong to arrange a medicinal bath and bath water.
At this time, several other people also rushed over.
Yanhong asked: "When did the third master get up? He didn't ask us to get up to serve."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I have been up for more than an hour, and you were still sleeping soundly at that time. There is no need to torment you."
Several people were stunned. They didn't expect this man to be so diligent in getting up so early to practice martial arts.
Except for Yue Ya, the four of them, including Ping'er, Qingwen and Yanhong, slept together with Jia Cong for the first time. They never expected that this man would wake up so early, and they couldn't help but secretly admire him.
"Third Master, take a break and go eat first. The medicine soup has been arranged for someone to make it. It's probably almost done after dinner."
The five of them came to the dining room together. Breakfast was already on the table, including steamed buns, fried cakes, flower rolls, sesame pancakes, fried eggs, egg soup, and lean meat porridge. There were quite a few varieties.
This person couldn't finish the meal. With the help of several people, he ate several big meat buns, a sesame pancake, a bowl of egg soup, and two bowls of lean meat porridge before he was full.
The taste is not bad. I wonder if there are preserved eggs in this era. The preserved egg and lean meat porridge is better.
After they all finished eating, they accompanied Ping'er and Yue Ya and walked around the back house and garden.
Seeing such a big house, Yue Ya shouted happily: "Third Young Master, this house is so big, and the garden is also quite beautiful."
Ping'er nodded and said, "I heard people say that the Lai family's house is very big. I never expected it to be so big and built so luxuriously. This slave is really comfortable."
"These people are very courageous because they are close to the old lady. Most people look at the old lady's face and give them a thumbs up. This inflates their ambitions. In fact, it is still a matter of management. The old lady trusts them too much." Yes, it’s all a habit."
After the three of them returned, Yanhong had prepared a medicinal bath.
Under the service of several people, I soaked comfortably in the medicinal soup and felt the slightest heat going straight into my bones. The medicinal power nourished the muscles and bones of the whole body and strengthened the power of my blood.
If you stick to this, you will see results in three months at most.
If he continues until adulthood, his combat power will definitely be very terrifying.
I’m really looking forward to it!
Half an hour later, Yan Hong and others prepared warm water. Jia Cong rinsed it off, changed his clothes, and went directly to the front yard.
Butler Zhang Fu had already prepared the vegetable oil and caustic soda and put them all into the warehouse.
"Steward Zhang, we will need more of these vegetable oil and caustic soda. Please prepare a special warehouse to store more."
"I know, Third Master, Third Master, there is no shortage of these things. Why do we save so much?"
Zhang Fu will definitely know when soap is made in the future. After all, he still has to look after the grocery store, so it doesn't matter if he tells him.
"Steward Zhang, we are a big family and have a big business. We will use more and more chewing products in the future. I am going to make a new type of soap as our unique product. We need these two things. You can do this yourself. Just know it, don’t reveal it.”
After hearing this, Zhang Fu looked confused and said to himself, "My third master, if you don't want to say it, just don't say it. You don't need to use such words to prevaricate me, right?" Using oil to make soap, you can fool a fool, right? '
Jia Cong could tell by the look on Zhang Fu's mind what he was thinking, but he didn't bother to explain, so it would be better if he just misunderstood.
He gathered people to transport all the vegetable oil and caustic soda to the soap workshop in the backyard and store them separately.
He also brought all the soap molds made by woodworking to the soap workshop.
But the quantity was a bit small. Only fifty molds were made in one day. This mold can produce twenty soaps, and only one thousand pieces of soap can be produced in one day. It was a bit short, so he was ordered to continue making.
If it doesn't work, ask Wang Xifeng and borrow some carpenters from Rongguo Mansion to make more molds, or go to the slave market and buy some carpenters yourself.
Let Ping'er take Qingwen and Yueya to hand over the accounts with the housekeeper Zhang Fu and establish a general ledger. From now on, everything in the house will go through Ping'er. Ping'er has officially taken office.
There are relatively few things in the house now, and one person is more than enough. With the housekeeper Zhang Fu and Yan Hong assisting her, there is no problem at all.
However, there will definitely be more and more things happening in the future, and it seems that she will need to find another helper.
The old lady will not let go for the time being, and there is almost no chance.
As for other people, by the way, Lin Zhixiao's daughter Xiaohong is a person who is articulate and quick in doing things, and also knows kindness. She should be a good candidate, so let her run errands for Ping'er.
He waved to Wangcai and asked him to invite Lin Zhixiao to test his tone and see if he was willing to let his daughter come to his house.
About a cup of tea later, Wangcai led Lin Zhixiao and hurried in.
When Lin Zhixiao saw Jia Cong, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I have met the third master. I wonder what the third master's orders are when he comes to this old slave?"
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "Steward Lin, please sit down. I asked you to come here this time because I want your daughter Xiaohong to work in my house. You also know that I lack trustworthy manpower now. Ping'er Sister is helping me with the housekeeping now. I want your daughter to come over and run errands with Sister Ping'er and be her deputy. I wonder what Butler Lin wants?"
