The next day, after Qin Wen and Shen Chenglai had breakfast, Tian An and Zhao Yiming took Chen Qiang and Chun Xi to the general's mansion.
Even though Qin Wen and Shen Cheng cleaned the house all night after returning home yesterday, the general's mansion remained in a state of desolation.
This house completely refreshed Tian An's three views. Even Zhao Yiming was shocked. It was the first time for them to see an inhabited house in this state.
Seeing Tian Mingwu and the other two looking guilty and not daring to look at them, Tian An didn't want to say anything. She took a deep breath and took Chen Qiang and Chun Xi to take a quick tour of the house first.
The more he walked around, the more he felt the project was enormous. After a complete tour, Tian An realized that this house could no longer be called a house; it had to be called a mansion.
The area is at least three times the size of the one they live in now, and the layout is completely different. It is more grand and comfortable. It is true that the emperor's actions are extraordinary.
A general's mansion is already so big, Tian An can hardly imagine how big the mansions of those noble marquises must be!
But now such a nice mansion has been ruined like this. Tian An really feels sorry for this mansion.
Except for the outer courtyard which is slightly better, the other courtyards are so messy that it can drive people with obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy.
Fortunately, although the house was messy, it didn't affect its use after cleaning, and the rooms already had all the tables and chairs, so there was no need to buy new ones. It was just that the yard was a bit troublesome.
Just have someone clean the room. As for the plants in the yard, Tian An thought about it and asked Chen Qiang to find someone to remove the weeds and directly remove the dead flowers and plants, and then replant them next spring.
If he came across any rare species, he would keep them. Tian An thought that he could use the space to save them and maybe sell them for a good price, or give them away.
Then he took Chunxi to check the yards again one by one and finally made the distribution.
Tian Mingwu will definitely live in the main courtyard, followed by Zhao Yiming, Xiaokang and Xiaoqi, and Mr. Han, who has a courtyard with a school for convenient teaching. Grandma Qin also has a separate courtyard, and the other is her own.
Thinking that A Bing would have to treat his leg next spring, he simply allocated a pharmacy and an operating room for future use.
Finally, she made a list and asked Chen Qiang to go shopping. She also needed to hire more servants, but the specific number would have to wait until she got back to discuss it.
After getting a general idea of the situation at the mansion, the group went to see the shop.
When they arrived at the door of the shop, Tian An realized that she had underestimated the price. The starting price for renting this shop at this location would be at least one hundred and fifty taels.
What a waste of talent! Only these three people could pull off the feat of chewing steamed buns while holding a golden nugget.
Not only is the location of this shop great, it also covers a large area. It has two floors, a small kitchen at the back, and two living rooms.
Not to mention, except for the larger area, the layout is similar to the Huanyanfang she opened before.
With previous experience, Tian An directly asked Chen Qiang to find someone to decorate the house according to the previous style.
"As for the cabinets inside and the medicine cabinets that need to be made in the mansion, ask if anyone in the Wounded Soldier Village knows how to make them. If they can, give it to them. If not, find someone else to do it."
Chen Qiang immediately went to the farm to inquire about the cabinet issue, and also had to find someone to deal with the courtyard in the general's mansion.
After Tian An gave everyone clear instructions, he took everyone home and started working.
The first thing is to determine the number of maids and servants.
Granny Qin lives in a courtyard of her own, and she can't look after the whole place all the time, so she definitely needs a maid, and she also needs a housekeeper to handle the rough work in the courtyard.
Zhao Yiming, Xiaokang Xiaoqi's courtyard, Mr. Han's courtyard, and Tian Mingwu's main courtyard must be equipped with at least one servant and one maid.
As for her own yard, she already had Deng Xue by her side, and she needed a dexterous little maid to help her with the chores in the yard, as well as a housekeeper to do the rough work.
After moving to the general's mansion, we have to hire new cooks, and we'll have two for now.
As the family business expands, the people handling the various businesses need to be divided carefully. The maids also need to have clear division of labor and perform their duties. Before, people were just transferred to where they were needed, which was too chaotic.
The cake business was handed over to Qingmei, together with the two maids from the original kitchen, Qiushan's mother and Gangzi's wife, making a total of five people.
The braised meat business is managed by Qiao Niang, Dashu Niang and Du Shi.
The velvet flower business is managed by Dong Ru, along with Dong Meng, Dong Yi, Dong Qing and Dong Ge.
Mangzhong has to be responsible for skin care products, but there are no more staff, so we have to look for new candidates. At least five people need to be reserved here first.
After Huanyanfang opens, the store's shopping guides will have to be re-selected. Dongwan can be responsible for leading the team, and four more people will be needed in addition to her.
Deng Shuang is in charge of the sewing room in the mansion, so she must be assigned at least two maids who are good at sewing.
Chunxi is responsible for managing all the affairs in the mansion, similar to Chen Qiang, except that Chen Qiang is in charge of a wider range of affairs.
The doorman is temporarily handed over to Liu Da, and the guards are handed over to Chen Feng and Deng Yuan, but more people are needed. Such a large mansion cannot do without a few guards. The number of people depends on the situation. After all, guards are not easy to buy.
Chen Feng and Deng Yuan were responsible for the guards in the mansion, and there was no man following on the business side. Tian An thought about it and decided to let Chen Qiang ask Dashu's elder brother Dashan and Gangzi, and if they were willing, he would give them the task.
The arrangements were almost done. Tian An roughly calculated the number of people on the list he had made, and found that there were quite a few who needed to be added right now.
Moreover, the people from Mangzhong and Dongwan have to be bought back as soon as possible for training, but the problem is that if they are bought back now, they will have no place to live, and they have to wait until the general's mansion is repaired.
The thought of the general's mansion and the shop made Tian An's heart ache again. Ugh! Such a waste!
The prodigal Tian Mingwu was leaning on the window with a silly smile on his face, watching his son study.
Every time Xiaokang and Xiaoqi recited a sentence, he would follow and praise them.
Xiaokang Xiaoqi: "Man is born good...."
Tian Mingwu: "As expected of my son, he studies really well."
Mr. Han frowned: "..."
Xiaokang Xiaoqi: "Isn't it a pleasure to learn and practice it from time to time?..."
Tian Mingwu: "My son is so smart that he even knows this."
Mr. Han clenched his fists: "..."
Xiaokang Xiaoqi: "I examine myself three times a day. Am I disloyal when planning for others?..."
Tian Mingwu: "My son is really..."
Mr. Han couldn't stand it any longer and slammed the window shut.
Phew...the world is finally quiet.
When Tian Mingwu turned around, he saw Chen Cheng smiling with a frivolous look on his face.
She immediately stepped forward and hooked her arm around his neck. "I've been eating and drinking so well these past two days that I've become lazy. Come on, let's go out and stretch our legs."
Seeing this, Shen Cheng wanted to escape, but unfortunately he was dragged away before he could even whimper.
