Chapter 299 Dim Sum
The next morning, Li Qiniang went to the Duke's Mansion. Although she didn't know if Zhong Bo and the others knew about Qi Wei's return, she felt that she would still say it, so that it would be easier to make arrangements in advance.
Qingping Lane is on holiday today. The young master said that starting this month, whether Li Shiji's guy or Qingping Lane's guy can take one day off every six days.
Tang Gu and Tang Long, along with Xia Erjie and his daughter, agreed with Li Qiniang two days in advance that they would go back to Shantang during the holidays. There were monks in Shantang and they could not give meat. Li Qiniang asked Tang Ru and Tang Long to make a lot of tofu, and asked Xia Erjie and his daughter to bake big cakes. For this reason, Li Qiniang simply found a familiar shop to buy stone mills and donkeys that were pulled by stone mills and mills. She opened a restaurant at home, and there were Tang siblings who could make tofu. The stone mills and donkeys could always be used.
The four of them returned to Shantang happily, only more than a month later, but it seemed like they were a lifetime ago.
Everyone immediately surrounded them, talking and asking this and that.
"Did you sign a dead contract or a living contract?"
Tang Gu said: "It's a living contract. The boss said that we are all good families and cannot be sold as slaves. My brother and I have signed for five years, and so are Aunt Xia and the others."
Everyone envies me. It’s good for five years. A little girl like Tang Gu and Aguo will not delay getting married after five years. If she wants to work to subsidize her family income after marriage, then she will continue to sign for another five years.
"How is the boss good to you? Have you beat you up and scolded you?"
Aguo said: "The boss and the young boss are both very good. They speak to us in a whispering voice. Look at my new clothes and shoes, they are all purchased by the boss, and even the bedding is new."
Everyone was even more envious. They had not worn new clothes for several years. Look at the clothes on Aguo and Tang Gu, all of them were covered with silk edges. The kind of clothes were not cheaper than silk, but they were stronger than silk. I heard that many particular scholars did not wear silk, and used this to make clothes.
"The boss asked you to take care of the children. Is the boss's children easy to take care of? Wouldn't it be naughty?"
Sister Xia smiled and said, "I have never seen a child who is more educated than our young master. You have not seen it with your own eyes. The young master washes his hands, face and change his clothes by himself. He does his homework without anyone urging him. He is gentle and polite to talk to us. Not to mention the naughty kids on the street, even when my Aguo was a child, he was not as obedient as the young master."
Everyone was so envious that they were about to cry. Why didn’t they squeeze forward and let the boss fall in love with them? Don’t underestimate the fact that the young master is serving the young master. When the young master grows up, he will become a master, an old master, the nanny and servant who served him when he was a child will be his confidants in the future. Is there any need to say the future? It is definitely the most decent person in the mansion.
Decent, kind-hearted, well-educated, well-dressed, well-lived, and not having to sign a dead contract. Where can I find such a good thing?
"Where is the wages? Can I give it on time?"
Aguo said with a smile: "The four of us are one or two taels a month now. Starting next month, my mother and Sister Tang will grow to one or half taels. The wages are paid on time, but my wages are all collected by my mother."
Sister Xia said, "You are all in the house, and there is no place to spend money. I will put it away for you and save your dowry."
Everyone laughed together, and the more they ate, the more envious he was. Aguo was still young, saving one tael a month, and after a few years, it would be dozens a tael apart. In addition, Xia Erjie's, the mother and daughter were more than 100 taels to save. It would be great if a small family could have a dowry of thirty or forty taels, let alone a hundred taels, and they could also hold their waists straight in front of their mother-in-law.
When Aguo came out, she hid a few pieces of snacks quietly. When she saw that others were not paying attention, she ran to Xiaoying and stuffed them to her: "Sister Xiaoying, I remember you said you were from Pingcheng. It's such a coincidence that our boss also came from Pingcheng. This snack is made in Pingcheng. I guess you might like to eat it, so I brought a few pieces and you can try it."
Xiaoying saw that snack was the most common snail carousel. It was sold at small stalls on the roadside of Pingcheng, but this was the first time I saw it in Beijing.
She pinched a piece and put it in her mouth. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, which made it taste like Lao Pingcheng.
"It's so delicious." Xiaoying said softly.
"Well, it's delicious. This is made by my mother. The boss's wife taught me by herself. Our boss's wife runs a restaurant and has a good craftsmanship." Aguo is very content with her current life. Her mother often said that she never dreamed that she could live such a good life.
"What about your young master? He is really as good as your mother said?" Xiaoying asked.
"It's better than my mother said. The young master is like a little girl. Wenwen is quiet. He has the best homework in the school. The gentleman always praises him. My mother said that someone like the young master is the reincarnation of the Wenqu Star in the sky, not a mortal." As Aguo said, he took out a peach pit with a name engraved from his little purse: "When the young master went to visit Erlang Temple, he carved one for each of us. My mother and Caiwang have it. Whose young master will bring gifts to the servants when he goes out to play, right? My young master is so good, it's really good."
Xiaoying nodded: "Well, it's so good. Then, is your boss lady good to him?"
"Of course, the young master is so young, there is a study room with the young master's favorite books and small things. Whenever the boss's wife has time, she will cook for the young master and the young master's house to make delicious food."
Aguo smacked her lips. She had eaten the delicious food made by the boss lady. It was delicious, it was really delicious.
"What about your young master? Last time I saw her, she seemed very powerful. Did she bully the young master?" Xiaoying asked again.
"Hey, Miss Xiaoying, you can see that our young master is powerful. Don't say, our young master is quite powerful, but she doesn't bully the young master. Who would have the heart to bully him such a good kid?"
The Aguo said that the person was unintentional, but the person listened to the person was intentional. Whoever said that she could not do that, she had seen bullying children and deliberately preventing them from eating.
"By the way, Miss Xiaoying, why do you always ask the young master about it? Do you also want to go to our mansion? Why don't I go back and ask the young master?" Aguo blinked her big eyes, looking innocent.
Xiaoying was shocked. She remembered the shrewd and powerful young boss, who scared her very much the last time.
"Don't, don't. I said I don't want to go to the city's house anymore. I'll wait and I'll go again if I come from the countryside tomorrow." Xiaoying said hurriedly.
Aguo remembered the last time the young boss came to recruit people. Miss Xiaoying said that she could only feed pigs and farm, but no matter how she looked, she felt that Miss Xiaoying didn't look like a farm worker.
On the way back, Aguo told Xia Erjie what happened today, and Xia Erjie scolded: "That Xiaoying is much more conscientious than you, she has no truth. Come here again in the future and don't tell her so much."
Aguo didn't understand, so she asked, "Miss Xiaoying is pretty good. How do you know she didn't tell the truth?"
Sister Xia sneered: "How old is your mother? I can't tell anything. I know that she is not a girl when she walks."
