Happiness System

Then he introduced her to the various levels and layouts of dormitories.

The double rooms he lived in were considered medium-sized, and the next largest ones were quadruple and sextuplet rooms.

Going up to the next level, the rooms are single rooms, and even better are the large suites owned by the aristocracy and wealthy families.

The large suite occupies one floor with three rooms on one side. There are three rooms inside: a bedroom, a study and guest room, and a living room for the servants and a utility room.

There are very few rural students like Mu Jingheng who are willing to live in a double room.

After all, for rooms of the same size, the price difference between a double room and a quadruple room is enough to cover one person's food expenses for a year.

Qin Yunxi was then certain that Mu Jingheng was indeed a person who would not put himself in a difficult position, but he was also not one of those people who pretended to be dead to save face, which was good.

After the introduction, Mu Jingheng looked at the sky outside and said with a smile: "Since you are here, why don't you try the food at the academy?"

Qin Yunxi's eyes lit up. An ancient version of the cafeteria?

She is interested!

Then, I wasn't very surprised, but I wasn't disappointed either.

The college’s dining hall further highlights the gap between the rich and the poor.

There are two buildings. Mu Jingheng often goes to the one where the first floor has a big pot of rice. There are not many choices, but there are both meat and vegetarian dishes. The second floor has small stir-fried dishes that can be ordered. They eat there at noon. The price and taste are also acceptable.

The building next door is a restaurant-style building with all elegant rooms and the prices are also high.

The dining hall is the place where the rich and poor are most clearly divided in the entire academy.

Qin Yunxi had never imagined that the academy would have such an operation.

But then again, we can't let those young masters go back to the dormitory to eat or go out to a restaurant to eat.

After lunch, Mu Jingheng saw her staring at the "Rich Man's Building" next door, so he said, "The food at Yashantang is better than the restaurant we ate at yesterday. I didn't bring enough money today. Next time when we take a short break, I will bring you over to try it."

Qin Yunxi smiled and said "OK", but deep down she was thinking that there wouldn't be a next time. She almost laughed herself to death today due to embarrassment!

But in the past two days, Qin Yunxi has also discovered her own shortcomings. She doesn't know how long she will stay in this world. If she relies on the weird etiquette in the original owner's memory, it would be ridiculous.

Thinking about this, she asked Mu Jingheng and Yin Bao, "Do you know where to hire a nanny who teaches etiquette and rules? They are the nannies or teaching nannies who are released from the homes of wealthy families and follow the wives and old ladies of the house..."

Yinbao scratched his head, not knowing how to answer. This was beyond his observation range, which stumped him.

He tried very carefully to reduce his presence today, fearing that his sister and brother-in-law would be unhappy and send him to the academy.

Being named suddenly, I feel a little bit unsure of what to do.

Mu Jingheng shook his head and said, "It's probably not easy to find one. These kind of maids won't be released easily. They are usually driven out because of a crime. You don't dare to let this kind of maids stay with your wife. Or you can find one who was sold out because of a crime committed by the master."

After saying this, he denied it again, "This kind of thing is hard to come by. The good madams have long been targeted by others, and they were privately invited away before they were circulated. Well, there is no rush. I will ask the teacher and classmates tomorrow and ask them to find out."

Seeing that he had a headache, Qin Yunxi chuckled and said, "We are from a small family, why don't you say I am dreaming? I am obsessed with appearances. I just want to learn some etiquette and how to behave in society. There is no need for such a powerful person. However, Jing Heng must help me find out if there is a place that specializes in teaching people etiquette."

"This is the ambition that my wife has because she loves me. How can you say it is a foolish dream? My wife, you have worked hard today. I will leave the matter of finding someone to me. Just rest assured, my wife."

Mu Jingheng had the ambition and desire to move up in career. Although he did not require his wife to be a good socialite, he also did not want her to stay in the inner courtyard and not interact with others.

Since his wife took the initiative to ask for progress, it was a good thing and he should naturally respond.

After waking up from a nap, the couple discussed and drew a few drawings of jewelry, and then discussed the placement of the silver treasure.

Qin Yunxi said after careful consideration: "Yinbao is not young anymore. If he stays in the village for two years, he should be able to get married. But he can't concentrate on his studies now, and we can't take care of him all his life. We should let him find a way to make a living.

This is what I think, doesn’t he like cooking very much?

I have some recipes for braised meat and marinated meat here, but I can't control the amounts of the ingredients, so why not let him figure it out on his own.

If it's done, let him set up a small stall and try selling things first.

If it suits everyone's taste and can make money, we can rent a shop and let him open a small business.

But if this happens, the smell in the house will probably be stronger during this period..."

Mu Jingheng thought for a while and then said, "That's fine. The last time I bought the braised meat, it didn't suit my wife's taste. I saw that many people bought it from his family. If Yinbao can make better ones, the business will definitely not be bad.

My wife is at home most of the time, will she get irritated?"

Qin Yunxi smiled and said, "It should be bearable for just a few days, but we are all scholars living here, I am afraid the neighbors will have objections."

"Most of our neighbors are two families living together. I think it's not easy for them at home. When Yinbao's braised meat is ready, I'll send some over as an apology. I'm sure they will be able to be a little tolerant." Mu Jingheng smiled and shook his head.

Yinbao and Mudaner did say that, apart from the local people living here, most tenants with families live together, and some rent a separate yard, but the area is smaller than their house.

The next morning, Mu Jingheng and Mu Daner, no, Qin Yunming.

As soon as they went out to go to school, Qin Yunxi also went out with Yinbao.

Yinbao didn't know that his sister and brother-in-law were going to support him in starting a small business. He looked confused when he saw his sister going out to buy groceries together.

Has his sister finally woken up and wants to be a good wife and mother?

Qin Yunxi didn't care about Yinbao who was lost in thought behind her. It was the first time for her to get up so early to go to the morning market, and she was very curious!

After walking around and getting a general idea of ​​the situation at the morning market, Qin Yunxi took Yinbao to the grocery store. She first replenished the family's rice, flour, grain and oil, and then bought some seasonings and spices.

Because they bought a lot, the store agreed to deliver the goods to their door, but the delivery would have to wait until the morning market was over.

They are not in a hurry and can still wait.

After leaving the grocery store, they went to the pharmacy and bought some spices that were not available at the grocery store.

Then I went to the market to buy vegetables and meat.

Yinbao was confused as he listened to his sister telling him about the meat on the butcher's chopping board, which part was better to cook, etc...

No, his sister is a delicate girl who can’t even cook properly. When did she learn these things?

"I told you to study hard but you didn't listen. You just slacked off all day long!" Qin Yunxi reached out and tapped Yinbao on the head.

It turned out that Yinbao accidentally spoke out his true feelings.

He smiled awkwardly and felt even more dizzy as he carried the meat that the butcher had weighed.

Does the book really tell you how to choose meat and how to cook it?

As soon as I got home, there was a knock on the door. It turned out to be the maid hired by Mu Jingheng.

Qin Yunxi told her to clean the yard and wash the clothes first, and then took Yinbao into the kitchen again.

"We bought two pounds of meat today. Watch out for the spices I picked and the quantity." She mixed the spices according to her memory.

The world she lives in is full of all kinds of ready-made marinade packets, from supermarkets to grocery stores, which is very convenient.

However, when she occasionally has free time and wants to tinker with these things, she doesn't like the ready-made ones. She bought a lot of spices and mixed them herself every time she cooked.

The taste of the braised meat will be slightly different each time, but the taste is still good.

As long as Yinbao was not studying, his brain worked quickly and his memory was much better. Especially when he heard Qin Yunxi say that she would teach him a secret recipe for braised meat and open a shop for him if he could make it, he became more attentive.

The two siblings took turns to cook, and soon the smell of spices wafted from the pot, followed by the aroma of meat...

The maid was called Mrs. Zou, and her home was in the back alley two streets away. Although it was close, the environment there was much worse than here, and most of the people living there were poor.

In fact, Mrs. Zou is less than 40 years old, but she has already become a grandmother, and her grandson has Qin Yunming to take care of him.

Perhaps because of the year-round hard work, she looks like she is in her fifties.

Mu Jingheng originally wanted to find someone younger, but the middleman kept recommending this Mrs. Zou, saying that she was not good at talking but also tight-lipped, hardworking, and a good cook, and she had a good reputation in the area.

If it weren't for the fact that the man she served before, Li Juren, had to go back to his hometown due to some misfortune, and Mu Jingheng happened to arrive early, maybe this Zou woman would have been asked to leave by someone else the next day or the day after tomorrow...

Mu Jingheng also noticed that although this old lady Zou looked old and did not suit his wife's aesthetic taste, she had clear eyes and looked neat and tidy, so he thought of using her first and changing her if he found she was not suitable.

He said the same thing to Qin Yunxi when he came back. Qin Yunxi didn't say anything. This wasn't a beauty pageant or anything like that, nor was it about being a servant who signed a contract to sell herself. As long as the person had decent character and could do the job, that would be fine. She wouldn't be picky about anything else.

At this moment, Mrs. Zou had just finished drying the clothes. When she smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Isn't cooking also her job?

Why did the owner do it himself? Will her wages be deducted?

She didn't dare to go in, because she could smell the smell of braised meat, which was even more fragrant than the one in the restaurant on Caishi Street.

She is about to run in. What if the owner misunderstands that she is trying to steal the secret recipe?

But if she doesn't go in, she's afraid people will think she's being lazy and have her wages deducted!

She had also inquired about the Mu family yesterday. It was said that the wife of the Mu family was a pampered woman, but she was lucky to have married a good husband. Not only did she not have to deal with household chores every day, but Mr. Mu also had to take time out to take her out for a walk.

If not for this, Lin Li probably would not have met this Madam Mu.

And I heard that Madam Mu has a bad temper and is extremely strict with her two younger brothers...
