Chapter 167 Asking the Master to Give Me a Name
"You go down first!"
'Master Chen' waved to Xiaojia, and after Xiaojia left, she asked Qin Yue to sit down.
"How is it? Is this the result you wanted?"
"Of course!"
Qin Yue described the public trial at noon to Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu clenched his fist excitedly and said, "The county magistrate really cherishes his reputation as you said.
I waited in the mansion for a long time, but no one came to report, so I knew it wouldn't involve the provincial capital.
I wonder if my troubles can be solved? I wonder if the magistrate can make a fair judgment?"
"Do not worry!"
Qin Yue comforted him, "The county magistrate has just gained a good reputation. He will never wrong a good person no matter what."
Jiang Yu thought about it and agreed, "After you helped him become famous, he would be willing to die of exhaustion.
I'm training pepper and aniseed on how to use the pot these days. Can you go back and buy me some seasonings, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar?"
"of course can."
Qin Yue handed all the wooden boxes to Jiang Yu, "The remaining silver here is yours. Dress up as my eldest brother for me. I will hurry back. It will be night when I enter the village, which is perfect."
After Qin Yue left, Jiang Yu carried two wooden boxes back to Ying Mansion.
Xu Zhi, the apprentice butler of the old butler, wanted to step forward to help.
Jiang Yu simply gave it a try.
Xu Zhi fell to the ground with the box.
The old butler was shocked. Does his master have supernatural powers?
Jiang Yu walked into the second hall with a wooden box in each hand.
"How are the maids doing?"
"Okay, everything is fine."
The old butler bowed slightly, "Master, do you want to?"
"Call them here, and call the two old servants here as well."
Xu Zhi went to run errands, and Jiang Yu reminded the old housekeeper, "Don't be too lenient in managing the mansion, and don't deduct their food.
Eat more, eat better, they will recover, be able to continue working, and maybe even make money for the master, which is more profitable? You do the math. "
"That's what I taught you."
The old housekeeper's eyes were red, "I will increase the food expenses in the mansion."
Jiang Yu waved his hand and said, "No matter whether you are male or female, old or young, everyone should have a boiled egg every morning and five kilograms of pork every two days.
If I were in the mansion, I would eat the same as you do. Don't cook alone, it's a waste of time, effort and money."
"Thank you, sir!"
The old butler knelt down immediately.
Xu Zhi came over with the nanny and the old servant, and saw the old butler kneeling down, and thirteen people followed suit.
Jiang Yu: "..."
He asked the old butler and Xu Zhi to stand aside. Jiang Yu stared at the remaining twelve people, making them collapse on the ground, before he spoke.
"From today on, the two servants will be named Xiaobai and Xiaoying."
"Yes!"
The two old servants quickly agreed.
"Butler, ask the embroiderer to make two identical outfits for them. Ask Xu Zhi to find someone to order identical masks, and also order three large dice that are two inches square, and a large bowl for throwing the dice."
The old butler didn't understand the master's intention, but he and Xu Zhi took Xiaobai and Xiaoying to make arrangements immediately.
Jiang Yu asked the ten old ladies, "I plan to train you and ask you to set up food stalls on both sides of the restaurant to make money. Who do you think can do it?"
"You can, old slave."
"You can, old slave."
Ten maids rushed forward.
Jiang Yu picked out six people and left the four oldest maids to clean the mansion.
Tell the four maids to go back and call the four old servants to come over to her.
The four old maids knelt down as soon as they entered the hall trembling with fear. They didn't know what the master wanted them to do. They wished they could hide themselves from the master's sight. Why did the master suddenly think of them?
'master'"……"
If you can go without food and drink, I will let you deceive yourselves.
"What do you do in the mansion every day?"
"Reply, reply to the master."
A maidservant spoke up boldly, "We help with sweeping, sewing, and lighting the fire. We will go wherever there is a shortage of manpower."
I have never seen maids like them who don't serve their masters but only do chores. "Very good."
Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Starting tomorrow, you will go to the restaurant kitchen to work every day, and you will only have to wash vegetables and dishes.
The monthly wage is 300 wen, and you can eat with the chef and the waiter. When you get off work in the evening, you can ask the waiter to take you home.
There is no need to keep idle people in the mansion. As for the original old people, I couldn't bear to keep them, so I just kept them.
Nowadays even the maids have to go to the restaurant for training and study, and set up stalls to sell food to earn money for me, the master, but you earn your own money and spend it on yourselves, which is enough preferential treatment for you.
If you want to leave, wait until you have saved enough money and come to me to redeem your indenture. I will not make things difficult for you."
"Please don't chase us away, sir. Please don't chase us away. You can assign us any job, but don't chase us out of the house."
The four maids kowtowed repeatedly.
Jiang Yu: "..."
"Okay, okay, stop knocking."
Jiang Yu stopped the four maids. If she had this kind of personality, she would be a burden to Sister Xiu if she went to the modern world.
"Master, I'm not kicking you out of the house, but I think you will be dissatisfied with working as errand boys in a restaurant."
The four maids raised their heads, their foreheads red. "We can do any job. We can also set up a stall with Mammy to sell food, as long as the master arranges it."
The six maids were terrified. Are they here to steal their jobs?
The six maids also kowtowed, "Master, we are strong now and can set up a stall. We don't need help."
Jiang Yu: "..."
Why did Qin get away with it just by abandoning Yuefu?
"Don't make noise! Don't struggle!"
Jiang Yu raised his voice, "As long as no one has committed a serious mistake, I will not drive him out of the house. You all should work hard for me and stop fighting."
"Yes!"
……
He asked the driver to drive the cart and took all ten people to the restaurant for training with Sichuan pepper and aniseed.
Training, of course, requires practice with real materials.
The maids were trained to use frying pans. Sister Xiu said that a frying pan can support a breakfast shop.
She doesn't want a breakfast shop, she wants a breakfast stall.
The maids followed the nannies in washing vegetables, chopping stuffing and making dumplings. They were very busy and also learned how to use pressure cookers and frying pans.
Huajiao Daliao was anxious. Are these four people here to grab the chef's position?
Jiang Yu was very satisfied. "Hua Jiao and Da Xiao, you two are the chefs. Xiang Ye and Xiang Guo are the second chefs, in charge of the work on the pressure cooker and the frying pan.
Clove and fennel will be used for the noodle making. The work of washing vegetables and dishes will be done by people from the mansion."
"Thank you, sir!"
The four maids, who were renamed Xiangye, Xiangguo, Fennel and Dingxiang, squatted down happily to express their gratitude.
Huajiao and Daxiao looked at each other and secretly encouraged each other. They couldn't afford to be outdone by Xiangye and the others, otherwise, the master would probably have to change the chef.
……
The master wants someone to do odd jobs in the restaurant.
The old butler called all the remaining people in the house.
In addition to the fixed positions with their own responsibilities, there are also four maids, two thirty-year-old women and two pairs of young boys and girls who are considered idle positions.
The four maids wanted to work in a restaurant. They heard that working in a restaurant was fresh and exciting.
Jiang Yu disagreed, saying that washing dishes is very tiring for the waist and that the elderly cannot stand it.
She asked a maid and a young man to work as errand boys in the restaurant, and left a maid and a young girl to work with the nanny in the mansion.
A young boy and a young girl followed her around, running errands.
The boys and girls who were chosen to run errands for the "master" knelt down happily and asked the master to give them names.
The naming expert 'Master Chen' directly gave the flower a name: "Gardenia, Jasmine."
The other four people also knelt down and begged the master to give them names.
Jiang Yu: "..."
You don't mind, right?
The old woman and the young man who went to work in the restaurant were called Zi Su and Cumin.
The old woman and young girl who stayed in the mansion to work were named Caoguo and Baizhi.
Several people thanked the master happily.
"Mr. Chen" "..."
It's really hard to be a master. If I don't remember any seasoning in my mind, I won't be able to give you a name.
