Chapter 7: Money in the Eyes
"It's okay." Su Yujin knew what she was going to say and just waved her hand. "It's just a small matter. Second Master didn't take it to heart, and I didn't take it to heart either. You don't have to take it to heart either."
Hearing this, Ai Cao heaved a sigh of relief and said, "My lady is so kind. I will never dare to do it again next time."
"Yeah." Su Yujin nodded.
Mother Liu has already said a lot, and Ai Cao has learned her lesson, so there is no need for her to nag too much at this time.
When managing subordinates, you must also strike a balance between relaxation and hard work.
Seeing that Su Yujin didn't say much about her affairs, Ai Cao felt relieved and grateful. After Mother Liu brought back the vegetables, she hurriedly helped to clean up and arrange them.
Since they were going to celebrate, Su Yujin asked Ai Cao and Mother Liu to eat at the same table.
It just so happened that she also wanted to discuss something with the two of them.
The two of them refused at first, but seeing Su Yujin insisted, they did as she said.
The dishes on the table were steamed quail, sweet and sour carp, lentils in sauce and braised tofu. The staple food was beef tongue pancakes bought from the pancake shop on the street, and the soup was a vegetable and egg soup cooked by Mother Liu herself.
Fuyunlou is the largest restaurant in the entire county. The dishes and taste there are praised by everyone. At this time, Mother Liu and Ai Cao were also full of praise while eating.
Su Yujin ate in small bites and evaluated the dishes one by one in her mind.
The quail was not steamed at the right temperature, and the soup was not tasty enough. The fish flour of the sweet and sour carp was too thick, so that although the sweet and sour sauce was strong, the fish skin had lost its crispy texture. The braised tofu was not boiled in water beforehand...
The only thing that tasted good was the lentils in sauce.
The lentils are blanched at just the right temperature, cooked through and with an excellent taste, and the flavors of the various sauces are just right.
Because of this, Su Yujin almost monopolized the entire plate of lentils.
Seeing that Su Yujin's chopsticks were frequently reaching for the lentil dish, Mama Liu and Ai Cao thought that Su Yujin really liked this dish, so they simply followed her to eat it and even moved the dish in front of her.
When they were almost done eating, Mother Liu and Ai Cao looked at each other. After a glance, Mother Liu spoke, "Girl, our wonton stall..."
Now that the Second Master has come and given money, it is estimated that it is enough for the family's expenses, so the wonton stall will most likely no longer be set up.
"We'll continue tomorrow." Su Yujin had almost finished her meal and put down her chopsticks. "Second Master said it's fine, we can continue if we want, but from what he said, he doesn't want me to be in the spotlight too much."
"I thought about it and it's not that difficult to do. I prepare the wonton filling and the sauce for the noodles at home, so I don't have to adjust the flavor when I set up the stall. It's okay if I don't go, but the wonton stall won't be staffed enough."
"Second Master just came today, and I don't think he will come again in the next few days. I will help to arrange things in the next few days, and he won't know about it. You two can also look around to see if there are any suitable people and hire one or two to work with you."
"That's easy to do."
Ai Cao continued, "There are many unmarried girls and married women in this alley who are looking for work to supplement their family income. The work here is not too hard. When the time comes, if we spread the word, there will definitely be a lot of people coming."
After all, it’s about making money, who wouldn’t want that?
"Yes." Su Yujin nodded, "Make sure to choose someone who is smart, capable, hardworking, and clean."
In the catering industry, cleanliness and hygiene should be put first.
"Don't worry, girl. Leave this matter to me."
Because she got into trouble today because of her inappropriate words, even though Su Yujin didn't punish her, Ai Cao still felt a little uneasy and now she wanted to take the initiative to take on the task.
"I'm at ease leaving it to you." Su Yujin nodded and smiled, "If you're unsure, let Mother Liu help you make a decision. When you've made your choice, just bring it to me."
Mother Liu is a mature and experienced person, and she has a good eye for people, so Su Yujin is relieved.
"Yes, I will definitely help you get it done." Mother Liu nodded.
The matter was settled. After finishing lunch, Su Yujin, who had been busy all morning, went into the house to take a rest, while Mother Liu and Ai Cao cleaned up and washed the dishes, chopsticks, spoons and the like.
The wontons and noodles with soybean paste were filled with ingredients and the bowls were greasy. To make cleaning easier, Mother Liu and Ai Cao boiled a large pot of hot water and added some soap beans to make the bowls cleaner.
Ai Cao was washing dishes, her mouth was never idle, "Mother Liu, what do you think of Zheng? Her two children are grown up now, so she doesn't have to deal with so many trivial matters. I see that she is very diligent, even the children's shoes are clean every day. A few days ago, I heard that she wanted to find a job washing dishes in a restaurant. She is also very skillful."
"Speaking of which, Cui Taohong is not bad either. She is fifteen this year, has a fair complexion, and works quickly. I heard that she keeps the house very clean inside and out. I heard that her sister-in-law was willing to marry into their family because she saw that Taohong, the sister-in-law, was really capable, so she agreed."
"Mrs. Feng is not bad. Although she is a little older, she works carefully and always has a smile on her face. It's comfortable to look at her. When you come to eat, you have to eat happily..."
Listening to Ai Cao excitedly counting on his fingers to figure out who to hire to do the job, Mother Liu sighed.
"Mother Liu thinks these people are bad?" Ai Cao was a little surprised when she saw this.
"I think it's inappropriate for the girl to do this." Mother Liu said, "Although the Second Master didn't say anything, he is still a man after all, and some things are not easy to say. The girl should be more tactful, but the girl still..."
And rush to do these things.
Oh, I really don’t know what to say.
"I think it's a good idea for a girl to set up a wonton stall." Ai Cao scratched the back of his head, "This is real money in your hands!"
"I think you've fallen into the trap of money." Mother Liu rolled her eyes at Ai Cao. "The girl's future is all with the Second Master. What do you need so much money for? If you anger the Second Master, no matter how much money you have, it will be useless."
"But it's impossible without money."
Ai Cao said, "Mother Liu, think about it, now that the girl is living here, we should make some money and save some money for ourselves, so that we can live a better life when the Second Master gets married and takes our girl back."
Mother Liu was stunned for a moment.
After thinking about it carefully, he nodded slightly.
It seems to make some sense? After all, after entering the He family, the second master was busy with official business, and the affairs in the backyard were controlled by the mistress of the house. How much money each yard spent in a month and how much it could spend were all decided by the mistress of the house.
After all, the girl was raised outside by the Second Master before he got married, so she will definitely be a thorn in the eyes of the mistress of the house.
