Grandpa is not vegetarian

Mu Yunyi saw that the four newly bought servants were dressed too shabby, and wanted to spend money to buy them two sets of clothes. He wanted to be of the same standard as everyone else, but was stopped by Gao Yichun: "You can't do this , if there is no respect, if there is no ups and downs, they will rebel in the future, the favor is not given in this way, otherwise they will not only not be grateful, but also think you are soft-hearted, weak and deceitful, and they will have to deal with many things in the future Yes, if they are not afraid of you, you can go out one way and come back one way, and you will be ruined by them."

Mu Yunyi thought to himself: In the novels I read in the past, didn't the young master always return the deed of sale when he came up, so that the other party would be grateful?Will you be loyal forever?Why can't I make two sets of clothes for myself?It's just that he still believed in Gao Yichun, so he didn't insist, and let Gao Yichun handle it by himself.

Gao Yichun took out the money, bought a few bolts of linen, asked Gao Yitian to make four sets of clothes for them, and gave Gao Xuehong the middle clothes worn by himself, Shang Yi, and Ma Le, which were already too small due to his height. He and Gao Yitian changed four pieces for them according to their figures.

The linen he bought is relatively good, 130 renminbi a piece, and the clothes are also very good, much better than the ones he used to wear in the village. I don’t have anything at all, but now I can wear a fine cotton jacket, get socks and cloth shoes, and I am very satisfied, thank you Dade.

Gao Yichun took Qingming, Hanlu, and Xiaoman to tidy up the new house on Jinghua Avenue, while Mu Yunyi took Gu Yu to the blacksmith's shop with the hot pot borrowed by Wei Juren, and asked the master to make hot pot according to the specifications he said : "The patterns on the outside, the jade covers on the feet, and the decorations on the sides are all unnecessary. Just make it directly like this. How much does it cost?"

The master blacksmith waved his fingers and calculated: "This year, the brass price is 120 jin per catty. Your hot pot is made by an expert. I don't have the skills to make it. It must be heavier than this one. It is estimated to be around five or six catties. In addition to the inner hanging tin, a catty of tin is seventy renminbi, and I am afraid it will take several days to make one... It will cost 850 renminbi.”

Mu Yunyi said: "I can't do it for a few days. I want this thing urgently. I'll give you a tael of silver, and you make me eight. I want it in ten days. I have to make it. If I can't make it, I'm going somewhere else."

The blacksmith was the one who bought the rusty sickle head from Mu Yunyi to make a deer knife when he first came last year. Seeing this, he slapped his chest loudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, you will come to fetch the pot in ten days." , If you can’t do it, I’ll give you my head!”

Mu Yunyi smiled and said, "I don't want your head either. I'll let this kid come over every day for a few days. If there's no progress, I'll find another home." For the deposit, I asked for a proof of receipt, and then left.

This blacksmith usually sharpens a sickle and makes a hoe for others, but what he encountered today was a big order, eight taels of silver. After deducting the cost, the net profit can be more than one tael. This is the annual income of a farmer's one mu of land. , He earned it back in ten days, how could he not work hard, and called the two young apprentices over on the spot, added charcoal to fuel the fire, and was ready to start work!

Walking back from the blacksmith's shop, Mu Yunyi was very nervous when he saw Gu Yu following behind him step by step, so he couldn't help laughing, "Gu Yu, are you afraid of me?"

Gu Yu hurriedly said: "No, no, Second Young Master."

Mu Yunyi said: "You still said no, you are stuttering, and your face is red?"

"No, I didn't stutter." Gu Yu quickly explained, but her legs started to feel weak, and her whole body trembled.

Mu Yunyi said: "Why are you shaking? You're not sick, are you? Do you want to see a doctor?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Gu Yu's forehead.

Before he stretched out his hand, Gu Yu knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said with a sob: "Second Young Master, please, please tell Eldest Young Master, don't sell me out again, I will take good care of you."

"What are you doing? Get up quickly. There are people coming and going on this street." Mu Yunyi was embarrassed by the child kneeling down to his master, but he didn't know that when others saw a servant kneeling for his master, they would all be astonished. I'm used to it, and I didn't look at it at all.

Gu Yu was pulled up by him, sobbing softly: "The young master said, let us work here for three months first, and in the future we will have to sell the two worst ones, and then buy new ones."

"Huh? That's what he said? Then...you don't need to cry, you may not be the worst."

Gu Yu said: "I am not as strong and able to work as Qingming and Hanlu, and I am not as clever as Xiaoman. I will definitely be the worst one in the future, woohoo, Second Young Master, please, don't sell me out to others Too bad, I only eat two steamed buns a day, I don’t even need pickles, and I don’t need to make clothes for me in the future, I just wear this, I will do any job, I will be your cow or horse..."

As he said that, he was about to kneel down again, but Mu Yunyi held him back: "Stop kneeling all the time, talk carefully. Are you so afraid of going back into Ren Yazi's hands?"

Thinking of what happened in the past half a month, Gu Yu suddenly shuddered: "They...they beat me..."

Mu Yunyi said: "I don't see any injuries on your body? Besides, if they want to break you up, how can you sell them for money?"

Gu Yu cried, "They pricked it with needles, inside the thigh." He stroked the inside of the thigh with his hands, "It's on these two sides. I dropped some grains of rice the day before yesterday, so they tied me up, left and right. Twenty needles were inserted in each, and I was asked to kneel on top of the gravel for half an hour."

Mu Yunyi's eyes widened when he heard this: "Isn't this too vicious?" He took out a handkerchief and handed it to Gu Yu to wipe away his tears, "Stop crying, in our house, there is no such vicious punishment, you can rest assured gone."

Gu Yu begged again and again: "Second young master, I know you are good, please tell the first young master, don't sell it back to me, I don't eat much, I will work hard, you should treat it as a pet. A dog, I will eat whatever the dog eats..."

Mu Yunyi was heartbroken by his crying: "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore, this matter... I will tell Brother Yichun, as long as you are down-to-earth and don't cheat, he shouldn't I will sell you, don't worry."

Only then did Gu Yu stop crying, took Mu Yunyi's handkerchief and said, "This handkerchief was soiled by me, I will wash it later, and return it to the second young master."

Mu Yunyi said: "You don't need to return it, I'll just give it to you. There are lotus flowers embroidered by myself on it. My favorite is the lotus pond drizzle. This lotus handkerchief is suitable for you as Gu Yu."

Gu Yu was sold here. When he first arrived here, he had no possessions, and nothing belonged to him. This handkerchief was the first thing he owned after he was sold as a slave. He was quite excited and knelt down again. Kowtow: "Thank you, Second Young Master, for the reward."

Mu Yunyi frowned and shook his head: "Get up quickly, it's just a handkerchief, it's not worth anything."

After finishing the hot pot business, Mu Yunyi found four more masons, negotiated a price of [-] yuan a day, provided a meal at noon, and took them back to Jinghua Street. Gao Yichun and the others had already moved the furniture from the hall on the first floor. I went to the main room in the backyard, and sorted out the medicine cabinets. There were still usable medicines in them, such as realgar and gypsum, which were basically not affected by the expiration date. Gao Yichun sorted them out.Gao Yichun was very interested in traditional Chinese medicine, so he carefully organized these medicine cabinets and the medical books saved by the Hu family ancestors in his previous life, and carried them to the west room of the main house.

Other tables, chairs, benches, coffee tables and bookcases were moved to the east and west rooms, and the four masons also helped, and quickly cleaned up all the first floor.

Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun had already made a plan yesterday, and asked four workers to remove all the carved partitions, and the entire first floor was vacated, with a small room in the northeast and northwest corners for the kitchen, and a kitchen for the east. Stir-fried vegetables and pasta are boiled specially in the west. There are three stoves for each, and a separate one leads to the kang in the lobby room. It is only half a meter wide. Not only can it make the hall warm and play the role of heating, customers can sit on it and eat hot pot, and it can also keep warm.

Masons built walls and built stoves, and Gao Yichun hired two woodworkers. According to his and Mu Yunyi's research, a screen should be placed at the entrance. Fortunately, Hu's house originally had several large and small screens, and one of them was the largest mahogany screen. The root is a large screen, about three meters wide, and a large shallow floating giant plum is carved on it. The paint on it is peeled off and stained in many places. Mu Yunyi asked Gu Yu to wipe and polish it carefully. Empty, repainted for coloring.

The counter can be refitted with the curved ruler counter of the original pharmacy. It doesn’t need to be so big. It is cut off in half and installed on the left side of the screen. In order to maintain symmetry, a five-legged table is placed on the right side. On the top floor, a pine bonsai is placed on the middle floor, and the restaurant’s recipes are placed on the bottom floor. In the future, there will be a welcoming guest standing here, opposite to the counter on the right, which is just right.

In the lobby on the first floor, instead of the big round tables or Eight Immortals tables commonly used in restaurants today, 24 small square tables were set up, each with four chairs with thin backs and thin legs.

In order to highlight the elegance, Mu Yunyi asked the carpenter to redo the window sill, extending two inches outward and five inches inward. In the future, some things will be placed on it. A lamp stand will be made separately on the wall, and 36 gauze covers will be made. There are a few stitches embroidered on it, with a small poem, Li Bai carrying a long sword, a knight-errant, Meng Jiaozhong Jinshi, and an imperial examination. A total of 36 Tang Dynasty poets.

In addition, Mu Yunyi prepared a few more freehand brushstrokes, including Su Dongpo's nostalgia for the Yangtze River, Xin Qiji looking at the sword with a lamp, Li Qingzhao on the Lanzhou alone, and Liu Sanbian Flying Stars Spreading Hate, a total of eighteen Song Dynasty poets, hanging on the wall .

When these things are ready, take them out and put them on the table, the quality and taste of this hotel will immediately improve. Mu Yunyi did this without hesitation, because people bought spicy skewers, and most of them squatted on the street, sweating profusely , is often referred to as a "cheap dish", and people in the upper class don't eat it, but they just try it occasionally. This time, Mu Yunyi paired it with a hot pot that only the nobles often eat. The grade of Mala Tang was raised, so that it could change from cheap to expensive and enter the upper class.
