Chapter 205 Shop Arrangement
Ye Mingzhu finally understood what Aunt Mo meant. The child was her spiritual sustenance. She used to be Jiang Hongyu's wet nurse, so she gave all her love to Jiang Hongyu.
But during the two months of living together day and night, Mo Xing and Mo Wan treated her as their own mother, and she also developed feelings for them.
For a woman in ancient times, her children and husband were everything to her.
Madam Mo continued, "I didn't go look for the mistress and the young master back then. How can I have the nerve to recognize the young master now? It would be fine if he thought the wet nurse was dead."
"Actually, when the young master came to buy someone, I recognized him the first time I saw him. Even though he's grown up a lot, I was still breastfeeding him when I was little, so how could I not recognize him? It's just that Lao Mo and Mo Xing and Mo Wan were with me, and Mo Xing and Mo Wan's face was injured again. I didn't want to cause any more trouble, so I just didn't say anything."
"Anyway, I used to be a servant of the Jiang family, so it's fine now."
After Aunt Mo finished speaking, she looked relieved: "Mingzhu, when we get back to the farm, there's no need to tell them that I'm their wet nurse. Old Mo and the others didn't know before, and they don't need to know in the future."
"From now on, I will be Aunt Mo on the farm. That's great."
Ye Mingzhu could see that Aunt Mo meant what she said.
"Nanny, I will tell Brother Yu what you said. Even if you are not a nanny, you are still the best at making snacks in our village, Aunt Mo."
"Okay, I will definitely make good snacks." Aunt Mo said in a swearing tone.
"Also, don't call me wet nurse from now on. Just call me Aunt Mo. I'm used to it after so many years." Aunt Mo paused before speaking.
"Okay, I'll call you Aunt Mo from now on. This is the shop we bought. Take a look at it."
Ye Mingzhu took Aunt Mo to look around the front and back, and took out the diagram she had just drawn to show her, including the placement of the counter and the location of the kitchen, which was drawn very clearly.
After looking at the picture, Aunt Mo could almost imagine the placement of every piece of furniture in the house.
After Aunt Mo finished looking at the pictures, Ye Mingzhu took her to the backyard and said, "Aunt Mo, you can stay here and rest. If Uncle Mo and Mo Xing and Mo Wan want to come over, that's fine too. There are also wing rooms here that can be used to make snacks, and you can also let the helpers stay here."
"You've lived on the farm for a while, so you should have a good idea of what the women there are like. I'm thinking of transferring two women from the farm to help out after the shop opens."
"Mo Xing and Mo Wan can stay in the kitchen and help you. When we return to town, I can also talk to mother and ask her to make some scar-removing ointment, hoping to make the scars on Mo Xing and Mo Wan's faces lighter."
Ye Mingzhu felt that given Mo Xing and Mo Wan's personalities, they would not want to work as waiters in a dim sum shop, so she made this arrangement.
"Lao Mo came with me to the county town to make snacks, and let Mo Xing and Mo Wan stay at the farm."
"To be honest with you, some of the dim sum recipes I have are from a dim sum book owned by the Mo family. It's said that one of the Mo family's ancestors was a royal chef specializing in dim sum, and he left behind a dim sum recipe book. Unfortunately, when I saw it, only fragments remained; I don't know where the rest went."
"Old Mo can't make dim sum, but he can do some heavy work and can also intimidate those who come looking for trouble. Mo Xing and Mo Wan don't have much talent. I once taught them to make dim sum, but neither of them had much interest. It's better for their faces to stay on the farm."
"I want Linlin and Wu Yue to come to the dim sum shop."
Aunt Mo mentioned the two people she liked: "Linlin is good at math, and Wu Yue is also very worldly-wise. With the two of them entertaining customers, the business in the shop will be good. If there is a chance to open another shop in the future, both of them can become the head shopkeepers."
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect Aunt Mo to think so far, but it was a good idea.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Aunt Mo. After the shop opens, let Sister Linlin and Xiaoyue come over to help. I'll ask them if they want to live here or go back to the farm every day. Even if they go back, it's fine. I'll arrange for someone to pick them up every day."
After arranging the matters on the farm, Ye Mingzhu took Aunt Mo to the embroidery building, wanting to buy her clothes, but Aunt Mo refused to accept them. In the end, Ye Mingzhu directly bought a few pieces of cloth, saying that she would take them back to the farm and distribute them to everyone. During this period, there were people who helped make and sell snacks.
"Boss, I have one more thing I want to ask you." The two of them got on the ox cart going back, and Aunt Mo lowered her voice.
Ye Mingzhu raised her eyebrows.
"Boss, some of the women on the farm rely on selling snacks to make ends meet. If we open a shop in the city, I'm afraid they won't be able to sell snacks anymore."
During the time that Aunt Mo lived in the farm, these women helped her a lot, and she knew how difficult their lives were.
"It can't be helped. The snacks you made were cheap before, so you could carry them around town and sell them. But now that we've opened a shop, that's no longer possible."
Ye Mingzhu explained it to Aunt Mo.
"This is the only way for now. If you open other shops in the future, you can give priority to hiring people from the manor."
Aunt Mo was polite enough not to insist.
Fortunately, the dim sum shop will be open for some time, and the women in the village can still sell dim sum for a while.
Before the two men arrived at the village, they saw two people standing on the side of the road from a distance, looking at the roadside from time to time.
When they got closer, Ye Mingzhu could see clearly that it was Mo Xing and Mo Wan.
Aunt Mo also saw it, jumped off the ox cart, and asked in surprise, "Why are you two here?"
Mo Xing glanced at Ye Mingzhu, raised the teapot in his hand, and said softly, "Mom, you've been gone all day. I'm worried you'll be thirsty."
Mo Wan held two bowls, poured water for Mo Xing and then handed them to the two of them.
Ye Mingzhu took the bowl and saw that it was a little brown. She took a bite and found that it contained brown sugar.
"Mom, there's brown sugar water in this. Sister Wu Yue gave it to us when we went to help some time ago." Mo Wan said in a low voice as she watched Aunt Mo finish the water.
Aunt Mo looked distressed: "You only got a little bit of brown sugar, didn't I tell you to keep it for yourself, you two kids?"
Just look at how Aunt Mo gets along with her two daughters, it's like they are her own daughters. Maybe that's why Aunt Mo wants to stay with them.
After returning home, Ye Mingzhu said that she would bring Aunt Mo back home in a few days. Everyone was a little surprised, but when they heard Ye Mingzhu say that she wanted Aunt Mo to go back and make some snacks for her mother-in-law, they all praised Ye Mingzhu for her filial piety, which made her a little amused and helpless.
Just like that, after four or five days, Jiang Hongyu sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he would pass by the village in two days and go back to the town together.
