Chapter 130
h2>"Five liang?" The rich wife's eyes were as big as a copper bell, "What are you doing? You have to cook, your hands and feet are fast? Could it be a cook? Sister-in-law, do you want to open a restaurant? OK, okay, no problem, I can deal with it. w?w w?.b?i?q?u?g?” This family has too much money and doesn't understand the market, right? Her cousin's husband is running in a restaurant. I heard that the best chef in the restaurant only costs two taels of silver a month, okay? What if he doesn't care, he said it was five taels at the beginning. Even if they knew that the market would change, she would not follow it.
Ruxia couldn't help rolling her eyes. Restaurant chef? This woman really dares to think about it! With her level and knowledge, she has never seen many ingredients before, right? Not to mention making it. Speaking of which, she helped the chef of the Yin family, but she was afraid that others would look down on her, so she went to the restaurant to be a chef. She was just a little simple meal in the village, and she was just a little biting to deal with the rough mouths.
Thinking of this, Ruxia became depressed. Since she left Meizhuang, her food and clothing were not as good as before. Although she was a maid, she could do everything lightly or use her little maids. Now she has to do everything by herself, and her parents are forced to make purses and embroider money. Fortunately, she is already seventeen years old and has one of the best in Niujia Village and several nearby villages. Her reputation is better than that of several landlords' girls. Her parents still hope to marry her to a concubine to help her brothers in the future. Then she gritted her teeth and bought a rough woman, not letting her do the rough work of washing and cooking, so as to continue to keep her hands white and tender.
Even so, Ruxia still felt very wronged, especially when she saw Ruqiu's glory as the leader of the Marquis' Mansion today, she was even more envious and unwilling to accept it. A few months later, if Ruqiu gave birth to the eldest son of Marquis Qingyuan, her status would be even more stable, and it would not be impossible to become a noble concubine.
No, Ruxia clenched her fists. Even if she couldn't, she would marry a marquis. She couldn't be much different, like Qiu, right? This time her father was the one who got to be in charge of Wen. If he did things well, he might be able to be promoted by the noble man in Beijing. I heard that the noble man was behind the prince. The chance to approach the prince, uh, smaller, but that noble man and the powerful officials around the prince are all opportunities...
Yes, yes, the matter of my father is important. Whether it is making money or her future marriage, it depends on whether my father can let Wen Da manage the affairs this time, and even the people in Beijing are satisfied.
Ruxia quickly came back to her senses: "Of course I didn't go to a restaurant to do it. My aunt didn't know that she could go and inquire. Where can the restaurant chefs have such a high monthly salary?"
It turns out that everyone knows the market. The rich wife said embarrassedly: "That's right, that's right, niece, please tell me quickly. What do we want to do? How long can we last?" Anyway, being a chef, you can get 5 taels of silver, what does it matter where you go? How good is it to be a chef? The family has saved all the food, and all the food is good.
Niu San's wife quickly grabbed Ruxia, who was about to speak again, and said to the wealthy wife who couldn't wait, "What's the hurry, girl? Let's talk about it later when we go in."
"Yes, yes, go in and say, go in and say." The rich wife suddenly realized that if someone's wealth is not covered, how can she say it outside? What should I do if someone hears it?
Zhang Fugui returned to Quling County with his two sons today. Chunhua Qiuyue was still selling tofu outside at this time. Fugui's wife quickly closed the yard gate and took Niu San's wife and Ruxia to her house, and closed the door to talk about their secret financial path.
The thing is this: A wealthy businessman from other places fell in love with Etou Mountain in the southern suburbs of Luocheng and was preparing to buy it to build a villa. At that time, there would be many people living on the mountain. Zhang Fugui's family was responsible for everyone's meal issues in the past.
Niu San’s wife explained: “You are also lucky. The manager who is responsible for building the villa happens to be the same as our boss. They also said that they need to know the roots, be strict and have good cooking skills. Didn’t the boss immediately think of your family? They also said that you would make the tofu, soy milk and other things you need on the mountain, and calculate the money.”
So good? The rich wife turned her eyes: "Then we will be responsible for the procurement of other meats, vegetables, etc."
Ruxia curled her lips: "Auntie, your heart is really big! You have never done purchasing before, so what do you know? You can't even read the account book, can you keep the account? Even if you want to do it, they won't believe you. All purchasing items on the mountain are handed over to my mother, so my parents can pull you out and let you take charge of the kitchen and supply tofu. Yes, now that Madam Feng is not here, you have to take charge of the money you want to hire a helper, but you must be responsible for it. You must also be reliable and have a tight mouth."
Niu San's wife nodded and said seriously: "It is very important to have a tight mouth. Including your family, you can't inquire about it on the mountain. You must be scattered in your heart and not spread it. The owner of the villa has a very background. If you want someone like us to disappear, it is easier than killing an ant. Girl, you have to think clearly whether you are willing to go. If someone gives such a high monthly payment and also includes food and accommodation, the requirements are naturally very strict. I will explain this to you clearly so that I will not blame Niu San and I will be blamed."
When the rich wife heard the saying "It's easier than pinching an ant to death", she couldn't help but shivered, but she quickly woke up: "I know, sister-in-law, don't worry, our family is the most strict. Also, we don't need to ask for help. Chunhua's craftsmanship is taught step by step, not worse than Madam Feng. Chunhua and Qiuyue are enough to help me." The joke is that the family doesn't have money to eat and live, and they earn five taels of silver every month. By the way, there is money to sell tofu. Where can I find such a good thing? Isn't it just that I talk less and ask less? Those rich families naturally dare not mess with them. Didn't Niu San and his wife also work on the mountain? They follow behind and do it, be careful. What's the difficulty?
"That's good," Niu San's wife nodded, "When Fugui comes back, you will discuss it again, and make up your mind to let the eldest nephew go to my house to give you a letter of approval. Ten days later, there will be a carriage to pick you up. We will leave first. At that time, Niu San and I will be on the mountain. We must also prepare well."
"Hey, hey, there's no problem," the rich wife was so happy that she couldn't stop talking. "Sister-in-law, don't worry." She thought about it and decided to take the niece of her father-in-law and take the chores to the mountains. Qiuyue, her family, must be well maintained like Ruxia.
After leaving the Zhang family courtyard, Ruxia whispered to her mother: "Mom, don't you think about Ruqiu's proposal?"
Niu San's wife frowned: "Silly Ni, why are you still thinking about this? You guys have grown up together. Do you know whether Rudong can make those novelties? And Rudong has been a scheming since childhood. Do you think she will betray the big girl? Dani, the big girl is very thoughtful now. Prince Jing and the iron escort are backing in the capital, and there is a magistrate in front of her. Even the old lady of Qingyuan was taken to the family temple. Can you still believe Ruqiu's words? If she is really sure, she would have contacted Rudong by herself. Their Qingyuan Hou Mansion is no better than our family? Dani, you have to remember your mother's words. Ruqiu has always been a ghost mind. It is okay to keep in touch with her, but don't be used as a raft by her."
Ruxia heard her mother's analysis and was a little unwilling to accept it, but she still figured it out: "Okay, mom, then I will reply to her at that time, saying that you and your father are going out to work as a businessman, and I want to take care of Baoer. We will not have the energy to run a snack shop in a short period of time."
Niu San’s wife nodded: “Well, that’s it. Ruqiu is also very heart-willed, and she is still erecting her belly. Can she be a big girl in the Xu family? She is a real wife, Mrs. Hou, and has the money she has to support her parents’ family and a generous dowry. What can she compare to? It is serious to raise her baby and give birth to her eldest son."
Ruxia smiled and said, "Ruqiu said she had asked the doctor to see it. This child must be a son. But my mother, fortunately the marquis wanted to marry a business girl. If it were an official girl, I am afraid that this son in Ruqiu's belly would not be allowed to fall to the ground."
Niu San's wife snorted: "The current reputation of the Marquis of Qingyuan's Mansion is almost rumored to be a dilapidated house in Beijing. It is probably not easy to marry an official girl. Only here in Luocheng can you be more proud."
