Chapter 955: Laozi Doesn't Lack Money!
ook of enlightenment costs one or two silver coins.There are so many books here, over three hundred! To buy them all would cost at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver!Liu Biaotou laughed and..."Are the Young Master and the County Princess in the carriage" Zheng He saw Zheng Yi and Mu Xu sitting on the carriage pole, but he still asked.
Mu Xu nodded and replied, "They are all here, but what does the second master have to say"
Jiarren also rolled down the car window, Zheng He quickly leaned over and smiled, excitedly sharing the good news.
"Young Master, the embassy fleet arriving from the capital will be here soon. It's about a hundred miles away from Xin Du."
The Fourth Master happened to be with the Second Master when he heard the news. The Fourth Master then took his personal guards and went out to greet him by water.
"The old master instructed me to tell the young master that all miscellaneous matters should be put aside for now, and wait for the fourth and fifth masters to return home. Also, as for the county princess, it's best if she stays at home for a few more days."
Before Jia Ren could respond, Jia Yin was already excitedly squeezing at the window and shouting, "Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother are back! This is too fast! I'll have someone tell Grand Uncle right away, stay for a few more days at home."
Jiarren also said, “With your sister-in-law in charge at home, you might as well lend her a hand. Xigouer and Angouer are both lively children, so the house won't be dull now.”
After saying a few more words, Zheng He went back to report.
Jia Yin was anxious and tugged at her eldest brother's arm, pleading, "Brother, please go home first and tell Big Sister-in-law. I need to go to the shop for a bit, get some delicious food ready for Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, then I'll head back."
Having said that, fearing her brother's disapproval, she immediately put on her veil, completely covering her pretty face.
Jiarren smiled wryly, unable to bear to spoil the mood, so he admonished, "Go home early and remember that you should never be far from people, understand"
“Got it!” Jiayin replied cheerfully, taking Shui Ling and Shui Yun off the carriage.
Mu Xu also threw the whip to Zheng Yi, and then followed behind the three master and servant.
Jiyin's first stop was not the shop, but Hou's Mansion.
The Lord recently has been in the city, and almost every day he has to run to the palace.
As for taking leave, it's most suitable to have the Marquis handle it.
The head steward of the Marquis's mansion was overjoyed to see this young mistress, Jia Yin. He bustled about, offering tea and snacks, wishing he could present all the finest things in the mansion before her.
Jia Yin chatted with the head steward for quite some time, coaxing him to be happy and giggling. Then she said, "Uncle Steward, when my godfather comes back, please tell him to ask the emperor for a few more days of leave for me. I want to spend more time playing with Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother."
"Besides, I'll be cooking dinner myself tonight and make a few more delicious dishes for my father-in-law to eat at the Earl's mansion."
"Alright, Your Grace, please rest assured, this old servant will not forget." The steward smiled, knowing the county princess was leaving and hurriedly said, "Your Grace, the mansion recently acquired several fine fabrics, perfect for spring garments.
"This old slave will have someone sent to the Earl's mansion shortly. You've been idle these past few days, why not tell the embroiderer to make a few more sets of beautiful clothes."
"It's because you have plenty. I heard that the wife of the Fourth Master is from a foreign country, she probably also fancies our Tianwu's good fabrics. When the time comes, give the Fourth Mistress a few bolts as a gift, and she'll be delighted."
Since it had come to this, Jia Yin couldn't refuse. She readily agreed.
"Alright, Butler, I accept. This season, the strawberries in my greenhouse are growing the best and most abundantly. I'll have them send over a few more baskets. You check who in the Hou Mansion needs to be entertained and feel free to arrange it. If it's not enough, just have someone come find me."
The steward burst into a smile, his voice booming, "Yes, all according to the young mistress's wishes."
After saying a few more words, Jia Yin left the Marquis' mansion and headed straight to the commercial street.
Business at Baiyunjian is still booming as usual, with customers constantly flowing in the main hall and all the private rooms on the second floor fully occupied.
Over the past two years, Chen has been experimenting with new pastries and has become increasingly skilled at it.
The dim sum in the shop is not as thin as it used to be. There are eighty kinds of them, if not a hundred, dazzling the eyes.
Each one tastes good and has a novel design, now firmly holding the throne as the top dim sum shop in Xin Du.
For wealthy households, this was the only place they considered buying snacks.
Seeing the master of the house arrive, Chen Xi was overjoyed. His eyes sparkled as he eagerly awaited what new pastry recipe the master would present next.
To know that the Eastern family is his source of inspiration, he just needs to be able to learn from one example and apply it to multiple situations, he could push the shop's business to a new small boom.
Jia Yin didn't disappoint him, and took out the recipes for sha qima and fruit pudding that she had been thinking about in the palace earlier.
Thanks to Lao Hei and others' hard work and skill, over the past few years they have almost traveled all over Tianwu, finding so many good things. Things like cassava flour and cold jelly are nothing compared to what they've discovered.
Of course, Jia Yin loved all kinds of DIY in her past life, with food being her favorite and one she excelled at.
That's why she can now easily recreate all the delicious foods she remembers.
Chen Xi was overjoyed, wishing he could immediately run back to his noodle counter and start working on it.
Jia Yin also understood his temper, so she simply explained a few things and let him go.
Peng Zhanggui watched helplessly from the side, explaining a few things for Chen Xi both in words and between the lines, fearing that the host would be unhappy.
He had partnered with Chen Xi for a long time, and they were very tacit. He didn't want to break up because Chen Xi had angered their boss.
Jia Yin didn't take it to heart. She took paper and pen, listed out all the snacks needed for tomorrow, then began to check the accounts.
Whether it's Baiyuntian, Tainain Fruits and Vegetables, or Hot Pot Restaurants, the sales peak season occurs both before and after the Lunar New Year.
As the heat gradually subsides, so does the natural income.
Especially farmers outside the city carried green vegetables into the city every day, so ordinary people could afford them.
But the sales of fruits and vegetables at TianTian Grocery Store didn't change much, after all, wealthy households don't lack money, they care more about their preferences.
Simply put, as long as I like it, money is no object!
Looking at the hot pot restaurant, as the weather gradually warms up, it's no longer as crowded as it used to be. During meal times, empty tables have started to appear.
This indicates that the promoted dishes should be changed from hot pot to barbecue.
Of course, these are things that Jia Yin doesn't need to worry about. The shopkeepers of the three shops are all extremely capable and will definitely handle everything clearly.
All Jia Yin needs to wait for is a few silver coins...
Because she was thinking of her brothers who were about to return, Jia Yin didn't have the heart to stay at the shop any longer. She briefly glanced at the ledger and went to the back warehouse of the fruit and vegetable shop. Quietly replenishing some goods, Jia Yin returned to Earl's Mansion.
Waner had been looking forward to her sister-in-law's return from the palace ever since she heard the news.
As soon as she saw her sister-in-law, she took her hand and led her inside, saying, "Sister, my fourth sister-in-law is from a foreign country, and I don't know anything about foreign customs. How should we arrange her food, clothing, shelter, and transportation"
You're finally back! Hurry up and give me some advice.
Then Jiayin embraced her elder sister-in-law, clinging to her arm like a koala bear, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you're overthinking it. Si Sao is from a foreign country and traveled across the ocean to Tianwu. Of course, she's more curious about our Tianwu."
If we arrange delicious food and clothes for Tianwu, she will be even happier.
"Otherwise, the things she eats and uses are all familiar to her. Why would she travel so far just to gain some experience!"
Wǎn'er was stunned for a moment, then sadly patted her own head, "Aiya, I'm so stupid! How could I not have thought of such a simple truth!"
Jiao Yin giggled, and when she was about to speak again, the guard at the door brought in a message.
"Your Highness, Gu Guan manages affairs seeks an audience."
