Martial generals were different from civil servants, especially for people like Xie Heng who suddenly went up, there was no rule to force people to go up to court everyday.
On the other hand, this young man went on time every day and returned home. He was more punctual than anyone else.
Xie Heng thought about the last time he came back from court, his house had almost been taken over by those people's relief items, he could not help but raise his hand to caress the back of his neck, and said with embarrassment: "I haven't thought of it, I will watch it when the time comes."
Wen Jiu was helpless, "Brother, please be cautious."
"Nothing."
Xie Heng laughed, "I will go listen to the liveliness. "You don't know, those ministers were really eloquent with their words, arguing for several hours without resting. This kind of scene is not something that can be seen outside."
Wen Jiu silently thought, if he was heard by those elders, he would most likely be so angry that he would have had a stroke.
The two chatted along the way until they reached the entrance. One went to the Imperial Palace, the other to North Street.
The north wind blew drearily in winter, but the golden sunlight broke through the clouds and enveloped the signboard in front of the door.
It was probably because the mansion had been tidied up a bit, that the ten people who came to work this time were all very nimble, and did not have the slightest intention of slacking off.
Wen Jiu had started his career selling wine in his previous life, and he had several lost secret recipes for good wine.
The location of the old teahouse was extremely good, and the Yongle Workshop from behind had a huge impact on the business of the teahouse, but it was an extremely good aid to selling wine.
In Dijing, the powerful nobles paid the most attention to debauchery.
She had profited greatly from her previous life, so she naturally started her life from where she came from.
The underground storage room would serve as a wine cellar.
"Young Madame, we can help with the menial work of the shop, but the brewing of the wine .. None of us know how to? "
Everyone was dumbstruck by the ingredients. After what happened in the morning, they were afraid that their words would make Young Madame unhappy. One by one, they whispered, "What is the use of this glutinous rice?"
"There's also this medlar .."
Wen Jiu had already expected this, and said with a smile: "It's fine if you don't understand, you just have to do as I say."
Truly skilled winemakers had long been monopolized by the major wineries. Even if they were to poach people, they would have to spend a great deal of capital.
She had no intention of poaching from the start.
Everyone acknowledged it.
Wen Jiu said: "Wash the glutinous rice and soak it for four hours."
"Someone light the fire, and the two of you go and bring the water vat in .."
Everyone followed her instructions in an orderly manner. Because it was the first time, everyone listened very carefully. They also used all sorts of caution when they were trying.
After a full day of work, when Wen Jiu finished saying "cover the wine jar", everyone finished what they were doing and revealed a satisfied smile.
"Can we brew wine like this?"
"Although I'm quite tired, I feel .." I have a very strange feeling that I haven't done something so serious in a long time. "
Coming to the shop to help was not as bitter as that person said. There was a hot stove in the house, no wind or sun, and no heavy work. Furthermore, what everyone needed to do was very simple.
From the looks of it, winemaking was quite interesting.
After Wen Jiu finished washing his hands, he took the handkerchief from Jin Er and dried up. "Everyone has worked hard today, let's go back to our residence to get more food."
The crowd was still unable to react in time.
Wen Jiu continued: "In the future, all those who come to help out at the store will be calculated as additional wages. For the time being, we will give them twice the monthly allowance and pay them according to the monthly payment."
The moment she said that, everyone jumped in joy: "Thank you, Young Madame!"
Indeed, nothing in this world was easier to handle than silver.
Wen Jiu curled her lips, "You should naturally get rewards for anything that you do. I will be the one speaking shamelessly, if anyone dares to be lazy or cause trouble in the shop, be careful of the swords in your general's hands that do not recognize anyone!"
Everyone panicked and quickly said: "This servant (servant) doesn't dare!"
Young Madame was already so nimble when it came to doing things, when it came to General Xie, with the blade coming out of the scabbard, it would be hard to survive.
Since he couldn't think about such small things in the Xie's Mansion, it was better to do things peacefully.
Wen Jiu said: "Only with money in hand will I be at ease."
"Yeah."
The moment Jin Er finished speaking, everyone spoke up in unison, "Young Madame is right."
At this moment, they were all extremely quick-witted.
Wen Jiu could not help but find it funny, "In another two years, if you want to marry, you have to marry. If you want to marry, no one will stop you.
"Please speak, Young Madame. We are all listening."
Wen Jiu said: "Miss, since you have enough money, you can pick any man in this world and waste your life climbing the dragon and riding the phoenix, that is the stupidest thing to do."
Everyone was stunned into silence.
Everyone said that if one wanted to become superior, they would have to fight for it. But there were very few who were truly comfortable, even in the entire Dijing.
The young maid walked in front of Wen Jiu and said with her head raised, "But we are slaves .."
Wen Jiu said in a serious tone: "People should not be separated into high and low levels. The only difference is that people's hearts are good and evil."
Everyone looked up at her.
Wen Jiu looked out of the window into the night, and could not help but laugh: "You guys should really go and see Jiang An's Windy Rain, the strange pebbles at the Yun State, the desert smoke outside, and the myriad of scenery in the world. That is truly a great mountain and river."
Thinking about it this way, in her heart, Meng Chengyun really did count for nothing.
The maids and attendants in front of him were all young, and each of them was as young as a tender jade. However, because they had stayed in the Deep Palace for too long, each and every one of them was well versed in scheming, and had forgotten the reason why people lived.
Jin Er said: "I will go after I have saved up enough silver!"
"The wine knocked her down, causing her to explode in anger. She smiled and said," I will get rid of your servants. It is up to you whether to stay or not. "
On the same day, Wen Jiu gave them another chance to choose again.
She raised her eyes, with a proud expression, and for no reason whatsoever, stained that youth with thirty percent of arrogance, "My Xie Family doesn't need any indenture contract to force someone to stay."
"I'm willing to stay in the Xie's Mansion!"
The youngest maid spoke first.
"As long as Young Madame doesn't dislike us, we will always stay in the Xie's Mansion."
Wen Jiu nodded, of the forty people, ten of them still had conscience, and that was not bad.
"It's getting late, you guys go back to the mansion and rest."
Everyone replied with a "Yes". The little maid then asked, "Won't Young Madame come back with us?"
When he left the house, the sky was already bright and the sky was already dark.
Wen Jiu laughed: "I'll come back later."
Everyone returned to the residence, and the shop immediately quietened down.
Wen Jiu turned around to check if the wine vats were all sealed tight.
She plunged into her affluence career, almost forgetting to eat and sleep.
Until midnight, the man on the street shouted, "The sky is dry, be careful of the fire."
The night was silent.
Suddenly, the youth pushed open the door and entered with a lantern in hand. "Young Madame, are you preparing to sleep in the wine cellar?"
