The Imperial Concubine Chef - C110

Su Wenlan agreed with Su Wenlan’s decision to go to the Shangguan Servant Bureau to buy people. Therefore, on the second day, Su Xinyu took Hu Ya to find Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi brought them to the Bureau of Servants, when the official in charge saw that it was Zhang Ziyi, he immediately bowed with a face full of smiles: “Aiyo! Grandpa Zhang! The young one of the people you spoke of has already been prepared for you. Please quickly choose from the inside! ”

Zhang Ziyi moved Su Xinyu in front of him. This is my nephew, she came today to pick out a few servants for him. It’s much better for you to serve him than to curry favor with me. ”

“The official hurriedly bowed to Su Xinyu. Young master, do you have any other requests? This little one will do everything I can to make you the most satisfied officer slave. ”

Su Xinyu turned and look at Zhang Ziyi. Zhang Ziyi nodded at her.

Su Xinyu encouraged herself in her heart. And then she said, “And I’m going to find a woman who’s in charge of the house, and a woman who’s in charge who can help the overseer. Best of all, the kind that used to be a housekeeper. “People must be honest and smart. If there’s a problem with their character, then I can’t take it.”

The little official immediately agreed, “Look at what you have to say. No matter how bold I am, I wouldn’t dare to recommend this bad to you, young master. Please come in quickly. I’ll call those people over. ”

Su Xinyu did not know what had happened, but taking advantage of the fact that the official was not present, she told her. I had the guy come over yesterday and ask him. Thus, he must have prepared this person a long time ago. Rest assured, this place is under the jurisdiction of the Chief Officer Yamen, they wouldn’t dare lie to me. ”

Su Xinyu nodded. Actually, she still felt a sense of rejection towards buying people to live together in the future. However, she was also looking forward to it. After all, the four of them were too lacking in manpower. “It is impossible not to buy people.” “By the way, can I have two more cooks?”

Zhang Ziyi smiled, “Of course you can. However, there weren’t many chefs on sale in the Shangguan family. I didn’t tell him yesterday. You can ask him later. ”

Soon, the official brought back ten people. “Five men and five women. They all look to be around forty years old.” Master Zhang, Young Master, here are the documents for these ten people.

When Su Xinyu took the document, it was actually a piece of brief personal information. She was interested to see that one of them was a couple. “That man also happens to be surnamed Su.” Which one is Su Fu? ”

“A simple and honest looking man stepped forward.” Reporting to the Young Master, this old servant is Su Fu. ”

Su Xinyu appreciated her look. The main thing was that this person looked a little similar to the chef manager of Royal Kitchen. That person had followed her grandfather for half her life, so she was definitely a reliable person. Even if it wasn’t related to Su Fu at all, people would always have different feelings towards different things because of different associations. Su Xinyu was not immune to this. Which one is your wife? ”

Su Fu turned his head to look at the lady, but before he could say anything, a lady stepped forward. Replying to the Young Master. This servant is Su Fu’s wife, Zhang An Zhi. ”

The woman’s appearance did not give him any hints of a connection. However, based on the information, this woman served the madame before she was sold. Furthermore, she had a pair of dexterous hands. Her kung fu in the kitchen was quite good. The Lil ‘Red was also okay. Naturally, Su Xinyu wanted to buy people so he wanted them to work. So it’s important to have the ability.

As for the others, Su Xinyu asked once more. Finally she had the clerk take him down and ask him if she had a cook. When the clerk heard that there were more trades, he quickly said that there were, turned around and took these people away, then went to look for the cook.

In the end, Su Xinyu still bought the couple. But in addition to the couple, he bought two cooks. One of them was surnamed Sun, the other was surnamed Sun Xiguang, and the last one was He Minggui. Both of them were once the chefs of the Shang clan. However, He Minggui had previously been in charge of food for the servants. Thus, his cooking skills were ordinary. However, Sun Xiguang’s eyes lit up. He told Su Xinyu in a low voice that this person was once the imperial chef of the palace. Zou Fu Nian, the Minister of the Department of Government, had the chance to save Sun Xiguang, but he had to spend a large amount of silver to buy from the hands of the Queen’s nephew. After that, because Zou Fu Nian didn’t want to be in cahoots with the Third Prince, he was framed and imprisoned by the latter, and his family servants were sold as well.

When she heard that it was from a chef, Su Xinyu immediately decided to buy him off. However, the price wasn’t low either. The four of them gave a total of two hundred and thirty silver taels. Actually, it’s much cheaper to buy people from them than this. But the officials and slaves had their own government, so it was much safer than buying people from them.

Su Xinyu gave him two hundred and thirty taels of silver, as well as two taels of silver. He felt a burst of discomfort in his heart. Because they still had to go through some formalities, they couldn’t take him away today. Therefore, Su Xinyu and Hu Ya went home first.

On the way back, Hu Ya saw that the young master was depressed and quickly comforted him. Young master, just think about it. Even though it’s a bit expensive, can it be of help? The next time we fry the sauce, you and Madam don’t have to do it. ”

Su Xinyu shook his head: “It’s not that I don’t think it’s expensive. Actually, when I bought you and Mei back then. I’m sorry, too. “Someone used silver to buy it, sigh …”

Only now did Hu Ya know what her Young Master wanted. But she could see it: “You don’t have to be so sad. You must think that you bought it to enjoy your happiness. You have done a great service. ”

Su Xinyu laughed. You know how to coax people. Forget it. Come by tomorrow and bring them all back. I’ll give you another five taels of silver to buy some useful items for them. But they can’t stay at home for the time being. Let them stay in the inn first. “Wait till I get the ones from the courtyard, then we can let them pass.”

Hu Ya nodded and agreed, “I’ll listen to you. But do you want that Madam Zhang to stay with us? ”

Su Xinyu thought for a moment, then nodded her head, “Okay. For the time being, let her get used to living with us. Our yard is still too small. In a year or two, she would buy a two-way street. Or someone around who wants to sell their house. We have to give these people a place to live. ”

Hu Ya nodded, “Yes. Otherwise it wouldn’t be convenient. If only we could move out. Every day I see the coquettishness of that woman. ”

Su Xinyu was indeed having a headache about who the other side of the door was. The key was that the woman did some shady business every day. It was an outer room in itself. She was always flirting with young men. Someone like Hu Ya, who was half a year old and looked pretty, would laugh at her every time she saw her. If Hu Ya was a boy, she might even blush a little. However, Hu Ya was a girl, and hearing this woman act like this, she was as disgusting as she could get. Don’t bother with her, just pretend you didn’t see it. She wouldn’t always be looking for trouble. But to tell the truth, I also think that the yard is not bad and is looking after the door. And it’s much bigger than ours. ”

It’s not something you can do in a short time when you want to buy a new house in the city. Su Xinyu did not plan to use that three thousand silver. That was her final bargaining chip. When would she be able to use it when the restaurant was opened? Therefore, whenever she had the chance, she would not use that silver. However, she had thought of selling another piece of Lingzhi or the same person. She still had the best deer antler and the abomination, but for the time being, these things were a little less useful to her. Instead, it was inferior to the jewelry and jade artifacts left behind by some ancestors. If it was necessary, she felt that it would be more reliable to sell them.

When he got home, he heard from his daughter that he had bought four servants from the Bureau of Servants and Servants for two hundred and thirty silver taels. Su Wenlan’s heart ached. But he heard that there were two chefs and one imperial chef. She felt slightly more comfortable. After all, after spending this silver, his daughter would no longer have to work so hard. She didn’t care, but she was afraid her daughter would be tired. After all, his daughter was still a child. If he was too tired from all this work, it wouldn’t be good.

Actually, Su Xinyu really admired her mother now. Basically, she could listen to anything. Looking at the meaning behind his words, even if his words did not make sense, his mother would not retort. Su Xinyu admitted that she couldn’t trust her with all her heart. Back then, even towards her grandfather and parents, she still had her own small-mindedness. She blushed a little at this thought.

On the second day, Hu Ya took Su Fu and the others back to the Su Family. After all, she had to meet the owner.

Su Fu previously worked as a General Manager in the residence of a fifth rank official. His wife, Zhang An Zhi, served the old lady in the inner chamber. The two of them were around forty years old, so they could already be considered old people in this age. Furthermore, due to the fact that they had been working at the house for many years, their rules were very big. After meeting each other, they had to be respectful to Su Wenlan and Su Xinyu.

The manor where Sun Xiguang and He Minggui were in earlier had an even greater background. But they were both grateful people, so they followed behind Su Fu and kowtowed to him.

Su Xinyu could not take it any longer and hurriedly got everyone to stand up. Even a small family like ours wouldn’t need such a big gift. I know you used to work in the house. Now that it’s our Su Family, we feel somewhat wronged. However, I am a man with fair rewards and penalties. I bought you guys to help me with my house and my business. As for me, I’m going to open a sauce factory right now. The yard is in the nearby village of An Yan, I have already paid the silver. But it will be a few days. You saw it too. My house is small now. It’s not convenient to stay with you guys, so other than Aunt Zhang staying by my mother’s side, Uncle Fu, you and Master He will temporarily stay in the inn. In a few days, I’ll send you guys to the An Yan village to help start your work. ”

“Our sauce factory will not have any hard work for the time being. Two months in January, once or twice. But it may get more and more busy in the future. But then I’ll go and buy a few workers. You only need to know that you have to follow my instructions. This sauce is made for the military, and it must not be sloppy when used in crafts. ”

“Aunt Zhang, I heard that your culinary skills are pretty good. Today, you two husband and wife must have a lot of things to say since you just came out of the Bureau of Servants. I won’t let you live here right now. When you come over tomorrow, you can cook the food at home. I want to try out your craftsmanship. “
