In September, the branches of the sycamore trees swayed, and scattered halos of light shone through the trees and branches onto the open space in the courtyard and the round table. Next to the round table was a wooden ice jar, on which were placed two peeled pomegranates.
The purple-red pomegranate seeds, like pieces of crystal clear agate, lie on the dark crimson wooden lattice plate.
Qiao Baozhu crossed her legs and leaned back in a rocking chair, like a juicer, stuffing purple pomegranates into her mouth and spitting them out as white pomegranate seeds. In her hand, she held a book called "Eighteen Foods of Jing County" and read it with great interest.
"The frog legs are like garlic cloves, with a thin starch base and dark soy sauce for coloring. The flower drumsticks are smooth and tender, and the frog meat is crispy and tough. The best one is from Xuancheng Baiweitang, with A for color, B for aroma, and A for taste. It is recommended as the best."
Qiao Baozhu was about to drool.
The chubby girl tilted her head and shouted to Xianjin, who was serving tea to the next table, "I want to eat flower-drum frog chicken!"
"Do I look like a frog?"
Without even raising his eyes, Xianjin neatly placed the Yunding black tea on the clay stove, and placed a few peanuts and two oranges on the wire mesh plate. He smiled and said to the guest who had not put his hair up in a bun, "...Enjoy your meal."
I saw the girl at this table had two notebooks beside her, one of which was casually opened, and the other was still sealed. She smiled and said, "If you want to give it to someone, I'll have someone send you a brown paper bag and seal it with wax. People will be happiest when they get it and open it themselves!"
After "Look", some girls who lived far away from Jingxian County wanted to get their hands on the account book.
Therefore, people often asked others for favors, such as their acquaintances or relatives in Jing County, to come to the store to buy notebooks - well... does this count as the first generation of purchasing on behalf of others in the Wei Dynasty?
For this situation, the sense of ceremony of showing gold is in place.
Not only are the products sealed in kraft paper bags printed with the Chen Ji logo, they even pour sealing wax on them and ask the purchasing agent to personally stamp the products. This shows their thoughtfulness.
The girl smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you, Shopkeeper He."
So sweet.
Sweeter than pomegranates.
Xianjin's fatigue disappeared completely. He lowered his voice, as if hiding a string of bubbles in his throat, and smiled greasyly, "I am lucky to have worked so hard for you."
How did you say it?
Deal with the greasy man - learn from him, become him, surpass him.
"I want to eat mushroom frog!"
The fat lady behind him was almost falling on her back, like a dwarf national treasure that hadn’t eaten any bamboo shoots.
Xianjin turned around and said, "Okay, okay! I'll let Suo'er tell Mother Zhang that you can go back to the old house to have dinner tonight! Mushrooms and frogs! Steamed cakes! Winter melon and ham pot! How about I kill you a watermelon that I just planted in the field?"
Qiao Baozhu nodded with a hum, turned over in the wooden rocking chair, and continued to study the masterpiece of Xiao Fu Airong carefully with the sound of "creaking".
Xianjin smiled apologetically at the gentle girl at the table, "My dear sister at home, please forgive me."
Miss Wenwan shook her head nonchalantly, looking at Suo'er who was jogging along, Chen Zuo Niang who came to help before getting married and ended up sweating profusely, and then looking at the shopkeeper He who was fair, tall, and elegant like a magnolia tree, "You are too tired. I thought being a shopkeeper was just fiddling with an abacus behind the counter, but who knew you have to sell things, do an abacus, and entertain guests... Otherwise, you can hire a few more assistants."
Xianjin smiled bitterly.
She has a lot of friends.
There are a lot of muscular men in the Shuixi workshop, but they can't come to help.
She had thought about hiring a few more girls to help, and also looked for a dentist.
In recent days, the number of refugees fleeing from the southeast coast to South and North Zhili has gradually increased. Many little girls speaking the southeast dialect can be bought for only two or three taels of silver. Xianjin has thought about buying three or four of them, and when they grow up, he can transfer their household registration and arrange for them to get married. However, it is too difficult to buy them now. Most of them are fishermen and cannot understand South Zhili Mandarin. They can do housework but not reception and service.
Chen Fu did send people to help for a few days. Mother Zhang came for two days and kept yelling, "You have nine kinds of tea and twelve kinds of notebooks. I can't even keep track of two dealers when playing mahjong, how can I remember them all!" The housekeeping expert would rather go back to the old house to make rice cakes for half a month than come to "see" and embarrass herself.
After a day's trial, the other maids and servants also said that Alexander didn't even give them the face of money, so what did the Third Master's face mean to them?
Chen Fu had no choice but to give up.
The end result was that she, Suo'er and Zuo Niang were always playing Landlord in the store. She had to receive goods, take care of the accounts, and be the lobby manager. She was busy like a top.
He didn't even finish the new homework assigned by Principal Qiao.
Fortunately, Director Qiao had gone to Yingtian Prefecture and had not returned yet, otherwise she would have been criticized like a rookie.
"I miscalculated the flow of customers in the store..." Xianjin suppressed his bitter smile and said, "Wait a few days, I will think of a way to serve you well."
Miss Wenwan smiled and pointed at the empty white wall at the door. "You can put up a recruitment notice and clearly state the requirements and salary. Wouldn't it be better than working around the clock yourself?"
Xianjin was stunned.
Of course!
They are recruiting workers right in front of the store!
If you were interested, you would have come here yourself!
This is very common in later generations!
She was so busy that she was blinded by the light and forgot such a simple trick.
Xianjin smiled and thanked him, "...Your idea is really good!" He turned around and handed over a plate of white jade cake, "I think you were here yesterday?"
The gentle girl pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, your tea and paper are good. I was there the day before yesterday."
So comfortable!
