Chapter 133 Thank you for the promotion, Master
"Don't worry."
Jiang Yu sat down on the chair on the left, crossed his legs,
"He and Liu Da have experienced a great change, and their contract has changed from a living one to a dead one, so they are cautious in what they say and do.
Even if she saw through it, I wouldn't admit it. Would she dare to commit treason?
Madam Jiang, you have to act like a nanny in a wealthy family. A paper tiger is still a tiger."
"so rude!"
"Yes!"
Grandpa Jiang blamed his granddaughter for being disrespectful, and Aunt Jiang quickly got into her own position.
"I am too cautious. Now my brother is out looking for me. Can I keep him here for two days?"
"Can!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Grandpa Jiang: "..."
Jiang Jin: "..."
……
As soon as the young master's identity was revealed, all the servants in the mansion came to pay their respects.
As for how many young masters he was, Nanny Jiang didn't say, so everyone just called him Young Master.
As for why the young master revealed his identity only after entering the mansion, Nanny Jiang did not say, and no one dared to ask.
Only He lowered her head and stared at the shoes on Jiang Yu's feet. These shoes looked very familiar.
……
Liu Da visited more than a dozen dental shops in the city and finally bought two people.
One is a cook and the other is an embroiderer.
These two people are both old and were sold off because they were rejected by their masters.
Liu Da was a little nervous, wondering if his master would dislike him.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he heard that the young master had arrived. He hurried to pay his respects, but was stopped by his wife, "Dad, the young master should be the lady."
Liu Da was stunned for a moment, then he scolded his wife, "I understand what you mean, but you are not allowed to tell anyone else."
He nodded, "I'm just reminding you."
Liu Da took the two newly bought people to see the "young master". If the young master was the lady, she would give him instructions.
"Liu Da, the accountant of the mansion, greets the young master."
Liu Da bowed and saluted, and the two women behind him knelt down to greet them.
"These are the cook and embroiderer Liu Da bought from the dental shop. They had defects and were disliked by their previous owner. Liu Da couldn't bear it and bought them back without permission. Please punish them, young master."
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What defect?"
"The cook's right arm aches, so she cooks a little slowly. The embroiderer's eyes are blurry, so she can only sew during the day."
The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled?
"How much silver did you pay for it?"
"They are all ten taels."
"Now that you've bought it, stay and do your job well!"
"Thank you, Master!"
The two women kneeling on the ground immediately prostrated themselves and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
Liu Da: "..."
This young master who looks so lazy must be the lady.
His new master is very interesting! He likes a stable life without running around, but such a lively and lively master makes him want to follow closely.
"Lyuda."
While Liu Da was absent-minded, his master called him.
"exist!"
"Madame Jiang said that you have performed well. I am planning to ask you to take on the role of housekeeper temporarily. Are you willing?"
"Thank you for the promotion, Master!"
Liu Da fell to his knees. Just as he had made up his mind to do something great, his master imprisoned him in the mansion.
The master has given orders, the mansion is short of people, and he is a temporary steward, so he cannot be shameless.
"Liu Dading will keep the house clean and tidy, please rest assured, Madam and Master."
Jiang Yu looked at the top of Liu Da's head and said, "As for the backyard matters, ask He to help Madam Jiang more."
"Yes!"
Liu Da prostrated himself to express his gratitude.
"Everyone go down!" "Yes!"
After Liu Da took the two new servants downstairs, Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Jin looked at Jiang Yu in surprise.
The granddaughter (sister) looked very impressive just now! If they didn't know that this was their granddaughter (sister), they would have thought that they saw the young master of some official family.
Grandpa Jiang was completely relieved. If a granddaughter like this went out, it would be good enough if she didn't cheat a lot of people.
Jiang Jin became even more envious. He wanted to grow up quickly and be as majestic as his sister just now.
Aunt Jiang was used to it. Her niece acted too much in front of her, and she was sometimes out of the role and sometimes into the role.
Aunt Jiang, be careful of schizophrenia!
……
Leaving 30 silver bars for his aunt, Jiang Yu went to the state capital alone with a box and a half of silver.
Grandpa Jiang saw with his own eyes how hard his sister was working, and he took his grandson back home with peace of mind.
During this trip, Jiang Jin seemed to have grown up suddenly. After returning home with his grandfather, he took out the storybook and continued to read it for the Nth time. This time, he read it more carefully than any other time.
After finishing it, I looked at my grandfather’s two books and read them while reading.
……
Jiang Yu had an easier time entering the provincial capital. Firstly, he had experience, and secondly, the management of the provincial capital was much more orderly than that of the county town.
Everything is easy to find, for example, inns are in one area, restaurants are in one area, and dental clinics are in one area.
This is called forming a market.
Among the brokerage firms, most are government officials. They have a complete supply of people, horses, carriages, and houses. Not to mention the maids, they even have the chefs from restaurants, but the prices are high.
Craftsmen start at 30 taels.
The price for a cook is 30 taels, the price for a cook is 50 taels, the price for an embroiderer is 30 taels, and the price for an accountant is 50 taels. These are all prices that can be used to sign a death contract.
The wages of other servants were similar to those in the county town: the doorman and the coachman were paid 10 taels, and the maids were paid 8 taels.
A horse costs 30 taels and a chariot costs 10 taels.
A house with three courtyards costs 380 taels, and the location is a bit remote.
A two-story restaurant costs 800 taels and the location is also very ordinary.
Is it because the business went bankrupt that they have chefs to sell?
Jiang Yu stared at the brothel, which made the brothel feel uneasy. "Master, if you have something to say, just say it. I feel uneasy when you look at me like this."
This time, Jiang Yu turned into Chen Liangtao, who had a household registration and a travel permit, and was full of confidence.
"Where did the chef in the dental clinic come from?"
The broker wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I won't hide it from you, sir. This restaurant used to have good business. Although the location is a bit remote, the owner believes in small profits but quick turnover, so there are always many diners at every meal.
When the boss got old, he handed the restaurant over to the young boss, but the young boss loved gambling and didn't do business properly. The buyer was his wife's brother-in-law, so...
Not to mention the cook, the cook, the embroiderer and the accountant were all sold out by this family just to pay off their gambling debts."
Jiang Yu asked with a cold face, "Have you paid it off?"
The broker laughed along and said, "Master, you are joking. How can gambling debts be paid off?
The owner of this restaurant was a smart man. He not only sold the restaurant and the servants, but also sold the ancestral home. After paying off the debts for the young master, he took the young master back to his hometown to farm.
Jiang Yu turned around and looked at him coldly, "Are you trying to tell me that this restaurant is very clean?"
“It has to be very clean!”
The dentist patted his chest and assured, "We are government dentists and we would never do such a thing as deceiving our customers."
"Then why can't you sell it?"
"Uh……"
Seeing Jiang Yu was about to leave the restaurant, the broker hurriedly caught up with him and told him the truth.
"Isn't this because doing business has its own rules? Many people think that the previous owner is unlucky and are unwilling to take over, even the cooks and maids are the same."
"Then why are you raising the price to me?"
The broker smiled and said, "Master, if you really want it, just lower the price."
"You are dishonest."
"master."
The broker said with a bitter face, "I thought I made a profit, but I didn't expect to lose it."
"So you deceived a country boy like me?"
"Master, you are joking."
The brothel smiled with wrinkles on his face, "You look so noble, how could you be a country bumpkin?"
"So you're going to kill me, your noble master?"
Toothman "..."
