National teacher, your man ran away

After eating supper, Bai Shisan heard Yao Yixin tell him to pick up Bai Zhu tomorrow, and immediately smiled gratefully, then shook his head and explained: "Master, the shop is so busy now, how can I go away? Besides, Bai Shu has no relatives and no reason, no other place to go, not trapped on the Zhuangzi, I will write a book and send it to the post station tomorrow, if he is willing to come, the people on the Zhuangzi will naturally help hire a carriage to bring it Yes, I will pick him up at the inn at that time."

"Ahem! No matter whether he comes or not, your wages still have to go up, otherwise I will feel very sorry," Yao Yixin coughed twice embarrassedly upon hearing Bai Shisan's words.

Of course he knows that Bai Shisan is inseparable from the shop recently. Although his mind is full of the delicacies from his previous life, when it comes to the management of the shop and the entertainment of human relations, he is not as good as the local aborigines, and he is still in the court. Bai Shisan used to stay at the big official's house, so now besides the house, Bai Shisan is basically in charge of the shop.

Yao Yixin felt that Master Guoshi had arranged spies by his side?This is clearly sending him a high-quality and cheap decathlon butler!

Although Bai Shisan seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit, Yao Yixin always felt that such an all-round housekeeper who was capable of writing and martial arts would give him two taels of silver a month, and he was really a little Huang Shiren.

Anyway, his food shop can be said to be making a lot of money every day, and it is not short of money at all. After thinking about it, Yao Yixin decided to raise the monthly money of Manager Bai to eight taels of silver this month, considering the daily work of the restaurant In addition, the monthly salary of Huang Yun, the acting shopkeeper, was raised to five taels of silver. Calculated in this way, plus the New Year's reward, Huang Yun's annual salary can reach about 100 taels, which can be regarded as a gold-collar level in the Yuan Dynasty. high salary.

Besides, Bai Shisan, since he was sure that his young master would take in Bai Shu, he felt refreshed a lot. The store was so busy that he even took time to visit Grandma Huang's house and asked Grandma Huang for help. Several clan elders hope to buy a piece of land in Yaojia Village and set up a small house.

Although the young master has already arranged for Bai Zhu to live in the restaurant, but, Bai Shisan thought, Bai Shu can't live in the restaurant all year round, right?If he had a house in the village, maybe when he was on vacation, he could take Baizhu over to rest for a few days and relax.

Although he didn't make a lot of money during the two years in Anbu, he still has money to buy land. He thought, buy the homestead first, and let people rest slowly, so that he can have monthly money every month. , At that time, I will slowly buy all the bricks, tiles, wood, etc. If it is not possible, I will pay on credit first, and by the end of the year, I will be able to get together the money to buy the house.

Anyway, he didn't need to build a big mansion, he only needed one-third of an acre of land, three or five brick houses, enough for the two of them to live in.With a full budget, plus the money to buy the homestead, 80 taels is enough.

Speaking of Bai Shu, in fact, what Bai Shisan did not tell Yao Yixin was that when he was on a mission for the first time, he was almost discovered when delivering information, but Bai Shu was clever enough to take the opportunity to take the information from him. It saved his life.

Later, because of his outstanding performance, Bai Shu was transferred to a mansion that needed his talents even more. It was there that Bai Shu fell into a frozen river with the information in order to send an important information concerning the safety of the country. The injured leg was completely useless, and when he saw Bai Shu again, it was the day he retired!

The Anbu of the National Teacher’s Mansion is very good at taking care of the hidden guards who retired due to injuries. According to the individual’s contribution before retirement, the settlement fee will basically be between 200 taels and 3000 taels. , You can also use your retirement documents to go to Zhuangzi in various places, whether it's doing work or recuperating, it's not bad.

It was also because of this that Bai Shisan was able to let Bai Shu stay in Zhuangzi with peace of mind. The main reason was that he was still serving in the army, and he didn't even know his own future. How could he dare to take Bai Shu by his side?

However, it is different now.

Bai Shisan can swear on his life that he may never meet such a good mission target as Yao Yixin in his whole life. If possible, he even wants to retire early and stay in Yao's house to work for Yao Yixin for the rest of his life.

What's more, what moved him even more was that in this way, he could take Bai Shu to his side and take care of him himself.Bai Shu's personality is relatively silent, he doesn't know what to say, otherwise with his ability, he wouldn't have been promoted after so many years, every time he was assigned a dangerous mission, Bai Shisan was always angry with him. He was half dead, but due to Anbu's regulations, he couldn't take care of this matter at all.

Therefore, Bai Shisan has always felt that it is actually quite good for Bai Shu to be injured and retire. Although he has a limping leg, he is still alive. Otherwise, with Bai Shu's character, it is not his crow's mouth. If he continues to work in Anbu, sooner or later To die in the line of duty...

The next day, when they learned that Yaojiazhuangzi now harvested even the vegetables grown by the villagers, the villagers were so happy that they almost jumped up.You know, there is nothing else in the farmhouse, but there are a lot of vegetables grown in front of and behind the house, which can't be eaten in peak season, and some can't be dried in the sun, so they can only be chopped up and fed to pigs and chickens. What a pity!

It's not that they haven't thought about selling them in the town, but there are already a lot of farmers who open up wasteland and grow vegetables near the town, and they pick and sell them every day, not to mention the convenience, and the vegetables are fresher, unlike them, even before dawn I just get up to pick vegetables, and when I work so hard to pick them in the town, the good stalls over there have already been occupied. Sometimes I work for a long time, and I may not even be able to earn back the capital. I'm thinking about selling vegetables.

But, it's different now!The Yao family said, as long as they pick the ones with good quality and send them to the Zhuangzi, they will charge them according to the price of vegetables in the town. If the villagers hear this, why don't they understand?

This is clearly the young master of the Yao family, seeing that they are living a tight life, and purposely found an excuse for them to send money.

Thinking of the better and better life of the Yao family after the young master came back, everyone couldn't help feeling warm in their hearts. People in the mountains are like this. You treat me so well, I wish I could return it very much. Yao Yixin treats them well, They kept in mind that when they picked vegetables, they picked the best ones at home and sent them over. They didn't need people from the food shop to pick them up. They could wash them and use them directly. Don't worry.

This gave Yao Yixin an inspiration: Food shops have such a heavy workload every day. If the fruits and vegetables are packed and shipped directly, it would be too troublesome to disassemble, wash, and cut them. It's our own business, so we don't have to worry about being fooled by suppliers. It's better to put the work of picking, cleaning and dividing it directly on Zhuangzi.

Anyway, many people in the village have nothing to do when they are idle at home in summer, so I recruited a few hardworking people to help kill and clean the vegetables, melons, fruits, chickens and ducks needed in the food shop every day, and then use them as clean vegetables Send them directly to the food store. In this way, the workload of the food store is greatly reduced, and the amount of fast food that can be produced every day is even greater; second, it can also provide some new employment opportunities for the villagers in a disguised form.

Yao Yixin no longer thinks about going to the pier to make orders and deliver food. Firstly, he is simply too busy. Secondly, with such a little output from their farm, plus the daily demand of the food shop, they The home-grown vegetables and fruits would be good if they could be supplied to food shops. If he wanted to open another branch, he could only find a way to do the same thing in Xinzhuangzi on the wharf. There was no surplus to sell. for someone else.

Thinking that the food shop has to get up at three o'clock in the morning to pick and wash vegetables, Yao Yixin couldn't sit still immediately, called Manager Bai, and hurried to find Grandma Huang's house. Grandma Huang was feeding chickens in the yard. Seeing Yao Yixin coming in, she was immediately happy He put down the chicken food, wiped his hands and wanted to boil water and make tea for them.

"Grandma, you're welcome. We're not thirsty. I'm here today because I have something urgent to ask for your help." Yao Yixin smiled and helped Granny Huang onto the stone bench to finish, and then slowly told Granny Huang what she wanted .

"Is there a need to discuss this? You are giving money to everyone, but since it is used in the shop, you must clean your hands and feet diligently, otherwise the washed vegetables will still be muddy, so they are not broken. The reputation of the shop? Well, I’ll go to the village to find some for you right now, they’re all nimble and hardworking in the village, so they won’t cause trouble to your family by keeping them!” Granny Huang agreed with a smile.

What she likes the most is Yao Yixin's character, she thinks of the villagers in everything, and even if she suffers a little loss, the villagers will get benefits.Nowadays, among the old and young elders in the village, who doesn't praise the young master of the Yao family as a good man?Everyone also secretly said that there has never been a village head in the left and right villages, and they were all represented by a few clan elders. Now there is finally a young master of the Yao family who is willing to lead everyone to make a fortune. Everyone wants to recommend Yao Yixin to be the head of the Yao family village What about the village head?

"Then please trouble grandma. In this way, you can tell them by the way that our family's picking and washing work, one has to get up early, and the first batch of vegetables needed in the shop today must be processed and delivered before dawn. After lunch, I have to rush another batch to send to the shop in the afternoon. I work for about four hours a day. On my side, I will pay them a salary of [-] Wen per day. What do you think of the salary? ?”

"What can you do with thirty cents a day?" Grandma Huang stared wide-eyed, looking at Yao Yixin like a prodigal, "The coolies carrying bags on the pier can only earn so much in a day, and they have to be tired from morning till night. , I don’t think it’s necessary to have thirty Wen, but twenty Wen is enough.”

"That won't work, the wages are more, I think everyone can be more careful when they work, can't they? Besides, they are all from the folks in the village, so let's think of it as me earning some money for buying meat for everyone. "

Grandma Huang didn't object when she heard this. After all, she also felt that Yao Yixin was going to be the village chief sooner or later. That being the case, it would bring more benefits to the villagers, and more people would recommend him in the future.

After leaving Granny Huang's house, Yao Yixin and Bai Shisan each carried a basket full of large purple eggplants. Grandma Huang planted a lot of eggplants, and the family couldn't finish them, and she was too lazy to sell them, so she simply gave them away.

"Eggplant feast for lunch today! Farmhouse steamed eggplant, deep-fried eggplant box, roasted pork with eggplant strips, fried shredded eggplant!" Yao Yixin said proudly holding a basket of eggplant.

This season is the season of high-yield eggplants, and every household can’t finish eating eggplants. Among the vegetables harvested by Zhuangzi recently, eggplants and chili beans are the most. Therefore, Yao Yixin decided to develop some special steamed dishes, which are convenient It is nutritious and more fuel-efficient and healthier than stir-frying.

Steaming eggplant is the easiest way. Wash the whole eggplant and cut it into flower knives, then steam it in a steamer over high heat. Taking advantage of this time, put the chopped garlic, green pepper, oil and salt aside and wait until the eggplant is cooked. Take it out and put it on a large plate, just pour the prepared sauce on it.

The method of steaming eggplant is simple. It is an appetizer and a meal in summer. The most important thing is that the taste is lighter than fried eggplant, and the nutrition is also good. It is most suitable for summer.

"...Master, let's open a separate branch selling steamed vegetables?" After eating the delicious steamed eggplant, and thinking about the steamed vegetables such as tamales that have not been sold in the restaurant so far, Bai Shisan looked at it with glowing eyes. My young master.

This steamed dish is really good. Not only is it delicious, but it also seems to be more convenient than ordinary stir-fried dishes. After eating a large bowl of rice, the steamed vegetable soup concentrates the original flavor of the vegetables, which is surprisingly delicious!

He can guarantee that if he can open a restaurant specializing in steamed vegetables, it will be even more popular than the current restaurant at home!

The author has something to say: emmm Master Su Lichun's rival in love has a thick line. . .

In other words, steamed eggplant is really delicious, and I eat a lot of it every summer!
