Jiang Sui transmigrated into a historical romance novel as a background character, so insignificant that she didn’t even deserve a name in the original story. But the moment she heard the name Xiao...
Before Jiang Sui left, he asked Liang Cuicui to find a rope and teach her how to skip rope.
She has just started now, and she does at least 200 of them in the morning and evening. Because she has a large base, she can't exercise too much at the beginning to avoid injuries.
Liang Cuicui tried to jump a few times, and after ten she began to pant, and her flesh was trembling.
Xiao Yi was watching right beside her. Liang Cuicui felt very embarrassed and her face turned red.
Jiang Sui reminded her that she must wait half an hour after eating before dancing, otherwise it would easily hurt her stomach.
She was so professional that Xiao Lanlan, Xiao Yi, as well as Grandpa Liang and Grandma Liang were all very curious to see what unexpected results they could achieve if they persisted for half a month as she said.
It was only afternoon now, and Old Liang was preparing to drive the ox cart to take them back to the city. It wouldn't take much effort to finalize the transfer of the land deed today.
If dozens of acres of land are traded at one time, it may be a bit troublesome. The government has to find out what the land is used for, and then verify on the spot whether there are any unknown inside stories. In short, it is very troublesome.
After returning to the city, she went directly to the agency in charge of land transactions, explained the situation, and had the transaction stamped on the spot. Jiang Sui gave twenty taels of silver to Lao Liangtou, and the land would be hers from then on.
Afterwards, Lao Liang went home by himself.
She took the title deed, and the three of them went back to the shop to help.
Now we are going to open a branch, but we don’t have enough staff, so we have to start hiring some people, at least six waiters.
There are three on West Street and three on North Street. The kitchen cannot be handed over to others for the time being. There are certain requirements for how to stir-fry those small ingredients.
Anyway, Xiao Hechuan had already written the hiring notice and posted it at the door of the store.
The requirement is that the applicant must be a male and between the ages of 16 and 30, because being a waiter is a physical job, and since Xiao Ji’s business is so good, physical strength is even more required.
Of course, the monthly salary is quite considerable, it just depends on whether you are willing to endure the hardship.
The reason why we need young people is that younger people are smarter and know how to adapt to changing circumstances.
Another point is that you must be good at speaking. It won't work if you can't even fart.
The only thing a waiter needs to do is to be smart and sweet-spoken.
As soon as Jiang Sui came back, he saw the neatly written words on the notice. It was obvious that it was written by Xiao Hechuan. He did not use his own handwriting.
In just half a day, many people came looking for work, both men and women.
Xiao's mother tried to meet a few people, but couldn't make up her mind. She thought it would be better if Jiang Sui was there to help take a look.
In addition, there was a letter addressed to Jiang Sui, addressed to Jiang Sui personally and delivered by someone specially.
It just happened that Jiang Sui was not there, so he didn't get it in person.
In addition to the letter, there was also a small box containing a painted clay figurine. Jiang Sui recognized it at a glance; it was a figurine of a female imperial consort.
So, she also guessed that this was a letter from Xia Wanning.
So, I excitedly opened it and started reading. It was a thick letter, with four or five pages of writing.
Xia Wan Ning said that she had already set up a drama troupe and arranged for the Female Prince Consort to perform. The Female Prince Consort's plays were now very popular in Kyoto, and the theaters were full every day. They would be performed in the palace for the Empress Dowager to watch.
She specially made this painted clay figurine just to let Jiang Sui know that her female consort is now seen in this image in the eyes of the people of Kyoto.
Xia Wan Ning showed her excitement between the lines. She asked Jiang Sui to provide some more good plays, write them on paper and send them to her. She would stage them into plays, and if there was money made from the performance, she would share the money with him so that she would not write for nothing.
This is a great relationship. If I follow Xia Wanning, I will definitely make a lot of money.
Jiang Sui thought about it and realized that she still had a lot of dramas, both melodramatic and passionate.
If she had remembered it, I would have written the Dream of the Red Chamber to her.
In fact, a work like Journey to the West is not bad and will surely be a hit if it is filmed, but it is too long and she cannot remember it unless she only rehearses some classic scenes, such as Borrowing the Palm-leaf Fan Three Times, Fighting the White Bone Demon Three Times, and Havoc in Heaven.
Yes, it’s the Havoc in Heaven, which is easy to write.
She would write whenever she had time and then send it to Xia Wanning. She had to write it behind her back, otherwise it would reveal that she could write.
The painted clay figurine that Xia Wanning sent was very delicate, and the clothing was designed to fit the character very well, which was in line with the image of a female imperial consort in her mind. She wanted to treat it as a work of art, put it in the room, and look at it every day.
Isn't this a symbol of her friendship with Xia Wanning?
Now that the farm matters had been settled, Jiang Sui found a craftsman the next day and prepared to build a shed. He wanted to build a sturdy chicken coop that could shelter from wind and rain.
As for buying materials, you can choose to entrust it to the craftsmen. After the craftsmen inspect the site and select the materials, Jiang Sui will pay for it. After it is built, if there are no problems, you can go to the livestock market to buy breeding chickens.
She had already told Lao Liang and asked him to ask if there was anyone on the farm willing to help feed the chickens. The salary was two taels of silver per month and required two people.
To raise chickens, she just needs to take out some time to take care of the chicken farm and feed the chickens. The workload is not large at the beginning, so the monthly salary is relatively low. In the later stage, if the scale is expanded and the workload is large, she will look at the processing fee.
…
For the next half month, Jiang Sui was busy all day, wandering between the branch, the farm, and interviewing waiters on West Street.
As for the play for Xia Wanning, I can only reply to her after she finishes the work at hand.
Six waiters have been selected, three for each of the two stores. Three of them have already started working, because Xiao Yi and his three brothers need to learn how to stir-fry condiments, and they will be in charge of kitchen affairs in the branch store later.
According to the market price for a waiter, the monthly salary is two and a half taels of silver. With some rewards and benefits, the monthly salary is about three taels.
The recruits are all young and smart guys who are good at speaking and have good looks.
They picked up the job quickly. They had all worked as waiters before and were experienced, so there was no need for them to be taught much. Once they became familiar with the various foods in the store and their prices, they could start working right away.
The materials for the chicken coop were prepared and it was built very quickly. With a lot of people, it was completed in a few days. The farmland was fenced off in all directions and covered with several layers of tarpaulin to prevent rain, but it was not fully enclosed. We bought one hundred chicks, 30% male and 70% female. They are still young and easier to take care of. Just prepare enough food and water.
Calculating the costs of buying the farmland, hiring craftsmen, purchasing materials for building the shed, and raising one hundred breeding chickens, the total investment was seventy taels of silver.
Grandma Liang helped Jiang Sui find two farm women on the farm. Both of them had experience in raising chickens and were willing to do the job.
Because they are not like the Liang family, they all live together as a big family, and there is enough labor at home, more than enough to take care of the vegetable garden, so the extra labor chooses to increase income and take care of the chicken coop for Jiang Sui.
