Chapter 483 Side Story: Winter Wheat and Yun Niang (Part 6)
The longer Dongmai spent with Aunt Xin, the more she realized that her worries were unnecessary.
Aunt Xin was capable of turning a pre-drawn pattern into a messy, unrecognizable mess.
Haha, I was really worrying for nothing...
Aunt Xin is a bit stubborn.
She said she wanted to learn from winter wheat, and she really is learning from winter wheat.
Learn how to embroider purses, handkerchiefs, and shoe patterns using winter wheat...
Aunt Xin's goal was not high; as long as the embroidery was as good as Dongmai's, and each item could be sold for five coins, that would be enough.
After all, as the lady said, everyone, no matter who they are, should have the skills to support themselves!
And so, Aunt Xin began learning embroidery from Dongmai.
After several months, the embroidered peony flower was finally no longer a clump.
But the embroidered mandarin ducks looked like water rats...
She learned to make pastries from Dongmai...
Uh, I almost burned down the mansion's small kitchen the first time I made it.
No matter who they were in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, as soon as they saw Aunt Xin sneaking around with ingredients towards the kitchen, they all acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Butler Shen even suggested to Shangguan Jin that it would be best to build a small kitchen for Aunt Xin in a secluded place without any flowers or plants.
This way, it won't delay everyone's meal...
As time went on, everyone started to feel sorry for Aunt Xin.
"Aunt Xin, what did you embroider today? It doesn't matter, everyone goes through this, it doesn't matter if you don't embroider well."
"The longer you embroider, the better you'll become."
"Aunt Xin, what delicious food are you planning to make today?"
It's okay. If you don't dare to feed it to humans, then feed it to the guard dogs.
They're not picky...
......
Gradually, even Aunt Xin herself felt it was meaningless.
She can't learn what others can, no matter how hard she tries!
Seeing Aunt Xin grow more and more depressed and stop smiling, Dongmai could only comfort her.
"It's alright, if I can't sell it for five coins, I can at least sell it for four!"
If you happen to find an easy-going seller, you can still sell it for five coins!
Encouraged by Dongmai, Aunt Xin became positive and motivated again.
Yes, doing something is better than doing nothing! If you fail a lot, try a few more times; what if God is blind and you succeed?
Dongmai had already made plans to continue teaching Aunt Xin.
Who knew that God would suddenly give Aunt Xin an opportunity.
When the Chunbuwan Tea House opened in Kyoto, the owner was unable to find a suitable tea master.
Dongmai knew that Miss had a share in Spring Never Ends, and if Spring Never Ends didn't make money, then it was because Miss wasn't making money.
So, the winter wheat started to get anxious.
Seeing that Dongmai was anxious, Aunt Xin also became anxious.
After thinking for a while, Aunt Xin finally said that she was very good at brewing tea and could teach the tea ladies in the teahouse.
She also mentioned that even the Empress Dowager had praised her tea-making skills.
Immediately, the young master of Chunbuwan's restaurant asked Aunt Xin to demonstrate her culinary skills.
When Aunt Xin showed her skills, everyone was stunned.
His tea-brewing skills are undoubtedly unparalleled in the capital!
With her tea-making skills, Aunt Xin became Chun Buwan's tea master.
Well, at first, Young Master Lian asked for twenty taels a month, but Aunt Xin actually dared to ask for thirty taels a month.
Congratulations! Aunt Xin is finally able to support herself...
When Dongmai learned that Aunt Xin had finally found a suitable job, she was initially a little envious.
Thirty taels of silver a month is enough for me to make a living for more than half a year!
But the young lady told her...
"Don't think it's a coincidence; this is something Aunt Xin achieved through her own hard work."
All those things she learned in elementary school finally came in handy!
You only see that she earns thirty taels of silver a month.
But you didn't see the hardships she endured learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from a young age.
The winter wheat kept nodding.
Yes, Aunt Xin only earns thirty taels of silver a month because she suffered the hardship of earning thirty taels of silver...
However, she also suffered a lot!
When will some shopkeeper outside come to me and offer me thirty taels... no, twenty taels of silver?
That way we can save up more money to send to the charity...
The wish for winter wheat can only remain a thought in my heart.
She herself knew that if such an opportunity were truly presented to her...
She can't go either!
The young lady can't live without her; she would never abandon her just to make money!
Although Dongmai could no longer receive money from outside, Aunt Xin still sent money to Dongmai.
"Look, this is my first month's salary."
Thirty taels in total, I'll give you ten taels.
"I have my own use for the other twenty taels!" Aunt Xin gave one ingot of silver from her purse to Dongmai.
Dongmai looked at the silver in her hand...
"You gave this to me? Why did you give it to me?" Dongmai found it strange.
"You only have four taels of silver a month, and you have to send half of it to the charity."
The remaining silver is only enough for you to eat pastries at Taoyuanxuan twice.
I'll give you some, and you can have two more meals of snacks at Taoyuanxuan.
"Also, the children at the charity hall will be able to eat meat a couple more times!" Aunt Xin said earnestly.
Winter wheat...
