My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

Ye An felt tired for a while, he didn't expect Da Song to talk so much about the dental practice.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, officials, there are naturally ways to save worry and effort." Several people hurriedly asked what should be done.

"If it's really inconvenient for you to go back to the petty official, why don't you choose a big manager, and they can come out to buy people later." The shopkeeper smiled and said that he happened to have connections here and knew two people.

Ye An didn't quite understand these things, so he subconsciously looked at Fan Chunren and the others.The three nodded at him, indicating that this method is feasible.Don't want to delay the time, let the shopkeeper quickly call the candidate, and make a decision today.

The other party responded, with an expression of excitement that couldn't be concealed.You must know that in ancient China, there was no such thing as butler training. The stewards of big families were often promoted from their own homes.The fate of these people is closely related to the family they serve. Even if they really leave the main family in the end, most of them can live a prosperous life and do not need to do the work of serving others.So this kind of wild stewardship can be said to be rare, and of course, the commission is also very expensive.

Knowing that a big deal was about to come, the shopkeeper of the shop acted quickly, and within a few cups of tea, he brought people to the hall.

The two people who came to apply for office work had white faces and slight beards, they were probably in their forties, they looked dignified, and they looked quite shrewd and capable.Seeing Ye An and others at such a young age, they were obviously a little surprised, but they became more eager afterwards.After being recommended by the shopkeeper, he saluted Ye An neatly, "Here in Xiazhaohe, a person from the capital, the owner Wang Yuanwai used to be the largest timber merchant in Guizhou. His ancestors have been operating in Guizhou for a long time, and he is well versed in the way of going out."

When Zhao He mentioned the past, he still looked proud.The teenagers glanced at each other, wondering: "Then why did you come to Beijing?"

Zhao He froze, and reluctantly brought up the past.It's still the same old style of rich and powerful, Wang Yuanwai's business is getting bigger and bigger, so he bought a property in Bianliang, and took his eldest son to Beijing to develop. Zhao He, as the steward, took the lead.As a result, as soon as they arrived at the place, the father and son of the Wang family died of wind and cold due to unacceptable water and soil conditions.The palace immediately staged a family property battle, Zhao He was kicked out of the house as cannon fodder because of his closeness to the dead young master.He didn't have much money on him, and Guizhou was far away from Jingyou Mountain, so he had to sell himself again.

It can be seen that Zhao He still wants this job very much, and he has repeatedly emphasized his advantages in his speech, such as being proficient in accounting, being able to communicate, being able to assist the head of the family, and so on.

Ye An nodded after listening, and looked at the other person calmly.

The other one is obviously much younger, probably not long after reaching the crown, with a simple and honest appearance, and even a little nervous.This person's name is Jin Fu, and he was once the steward of Taichang Shaoqing's foreign government.Just two years after being promoted, the Patriarch committed a crime and was demoted to Guangnan.Because of the haste to leave and financial difficulties, most of the servants in the mansion were dismissed.

After the introduction between the two sides, everyone in the room looked at Ye An, waiting for him to make a decision.

Ye An thought for a while, took out a few coins from his body, and asked the shopkeeper of the Yahang to pass them to Zhao He, and said in a tactful tone: "I let you go for nothing."

Zhao He accepted the money with a slightly surprised expression. He never expected that he, who is proficient in many skills, would be compared to a brat.But because the house was full of riches and nobles, he didn't dare to reveal anything, and left in a hurry after a salute.

Yes, Zhao He is indeed more sophisticated and capable, but these have no effect on Ye An.If he really wanted to settle accounts and expand his business, he could do it himself.The Ye family only needs a native of Bianliang to take care of the housework and make it convenient for the head of the family to travel.Although Jin Fu is not very old, Taichang Shaoqing is just a small official from the fifth rank, but for Ye Xiaoan, it is enough.

Under the witness of Ya Xing, he signed a ten-year contract with Jin Fu, set a salary of fifteen per month, and then handed everything over to the other party.

Ye An is actually just because he is afraid of trouble, but in the eyes of outsiders, this is naked trust!Jin Fu's eyes were red with excitement, and he responded loudly.The shopkeeper of Yahang was muttering sourly at the side. If he had known the conditions were so good, he would have taken it himself.But what is the identity of the leading Ya Nei? Not to mention his generous spending, it seems that he can still make his own decisions?

The shopkeeper looked at him secretly, he always felt as if he had seen this person somewhere...

After finalizing the management, Ye An planned to hire a few short-time workers here to tidy up the courtyard of the new home, so he signed a contract with the shopkeeper.Because he didn't have that much cash on him, he asked him to pay directly to his rouge shop.

The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard the words "Rouge Shop", and blurted out: "You are a senior official of the Imperial Merchant Ye!"

"Ah?" Ye An didn't realize it for a while, what the hell?Wasn't the concept of imperial merchants created when the Qing soldiers entered the customs?Where did this saying come from in the Northern Song Dynasty?

The shopkeeper also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he laughed awkwardly, but his eyes were full of admiration. Nowadays, no one in Beijing knows the name of the Ye family official, who can become a Bianliang rich man from scratch in just two years.Being able to get a piece of the pie from the imperial court can be called a model among their businessmen, and some people even speculate that maybe that Ye Daguan has a lot to do with the royal family.In order to show respect, everyone called him Huangshang.

"Pfft!" Zhao Zongshu couldn't help laughing, smashed his mouth, and said foolishly: "It's not wrong." Ye An's surname is indeed Zhao.

After glaring at him viciously, Ye An raised his forehead: "You can't call it that way, and you must never say that in the future."

The shopkeeper was a little bit aggrieved, that's what everyone called it outside, and some exaggerated businessmen almost made it into a statue of the God of Wealth as a confession.

"..." Ye An felt that this was not a good thing. Although he was familiar with Renzong and had a clear conscience about making money, but as the saying goes, three people become tigers, and there are many masters in this era.If you really put a big hat on yourself, it's hard to argue.

But he couldn't stop other people like this. It's ashamed to say that after doing business in Beijing for so long, the only businessman he knows is Hua Monk Chenghui, who is still a wooden fish knocker.There are probably countless merchants in Bianliang with certain assets, and they have nothing to do with each other, so how can we get to know them all... After thinking about it, Ye Ansi has no idea, so he can only put this matter aside for now, and go back to the Imperial College with his friends to be honest actually attend class.

In the blink of an eye, half a month later, since he hired Jin Fu, Ye An has returned to the state of doing nothing before.This person is worthy of being the steward of an official family. Although he has a naive temper and is not smooth enough in dealing with things, he has completed all the things he explained in a down-to-earth manner and is very organized.Thanks to him, Yuan Bao was completely freed from household chores and devoted himself to running the rouge shop and the sugar factory. This way, Ye An was more free.

Now, apart from staying with his friends in class, he just goes to eat and drink at Teacher Pan's house next door, enjoying himself very much.Soon, the new home has been repaired, and the servants have also selected it, waiting for the owner to inspect it.

Before this, Jin Fu had already trained and taught the servant girl in the mansion, so when Ye An stepped into the house, he looked orderly.Because there is only Ye An as the head of the family, everything is kept simple, but when a large group of people salute and shout "Hello, official", the momentum is still amazing.

Forcibly resisting the urge to wave back "Hello, comrades", Ye An got to know a few leaders briefly, and then hurried back to the house.

"Don't be so exaggerated in the future." Ye An said to Jin Fu a little uncomfortable. He has worked hard to integrate into this feudal society, but he is still not used to the hierarchy.

Jin Fu chuckled, "Isn't this the first time, the officials are tired, do you want to try the skills of the new cook?"

"Alright," Ye An nodded.Afterwards, Jin Fu went to give some instructions, and after a while, several maidservants brought the dishes.

Ye An glanced at it, and found that the grilled fish lip, stewed fish soup, vinegared fish, and raw fish were all a feast of fish.Taste it carefully, not to mention the exquisite presentation of the plate, the taste is incomparably delicious, it can be called the most delicious meal Ye An has eaten since traveling.

"This cook is well chosen." Ye An was full of praise.

"Thank you for the compliment, but...the cook has a little..." Jin Fu hesitated to speak.

"But the salary is high?" Ye Anwen said, "Such capable people deserve a higher price."

"The wages are not bad," Jin Fu scratched his head, and finally decided to tell the truth: "Returning to the official, that person's name is Song Wusao, who was originally a neighbor with Xiao Xiao when she was young, and she is quite famous in Beijing. This time, she was invited to come to the house , but only willing to sign a ten-month contract."

Ye An frowned slightly. Except for special circumstances, a cook like this usually stays at the master's house for three to five years, ten months...however, it's too short.Thinking of such deliciousness, I feel a little bit sad.In the end, he asked Jin Fu to call someone over, and he had a talk with him in person.

Jin Fu responded, and after a while, he brought a woman.

Song Wusao is also in her 20s, and the job of a cook is relatively leisurely, so she is not as old as many working women.With a ruddy complexion and a plump figure, when he saw Ye An, he bowed nervously.

"Get up," Ye An said with a smile, and then tried to offer a high salary to keep Mrs. Song.

Fifth Aunt Song was obviously a little moved when she heard the high salary, but she shook her head firmly in the end: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have already decided that if it doesn't work, you should hire someone else."

Jin Fu said anxiously at the side: "Miss Song, where can you find such a good condition! Don't be confused!"

Fifth Aunt Song bit her lip, and seeing the boy sitting on the seat always had a gentle face, she plucked up her courage and said, "Mr. Ye, you are kind-hearted. If I will accept it next day, the little lady is already planning to open a shop."

"Open a shop?" Ye An raised his eyebrows.

"Yes! It's near Tianshui Lane. The store has already been negotiated and will be handed over in a year. To be honest, I have always had a dream!" Song Wusao's eyes burst into light: "Although the little woman is not a big person, But I still have a bit of confidence in my cooking skills. In today's world, most of the famous cooks are men, and women can only cook in the inner house. I don't believe in evil! I will become famous all over the world with this skill! I hope you will help me !"

Ye An: "..." The dream has been moved out, can he not make it come true?That's all, it's a good thing to have such a heart.Just as I was about to speak, something flashed through my mind...

yes!dream!He knows what to do with the troubled things before!He immediately encouraged Song Wusao in front of him: "Your idea is very good, I plan to help you!"

Then he slowly looked at the people eating melons around him, and said, "Do any of you still have dreams?"

The author has something to say: Song Wusao is a real person in history, she is a famous chef in ancient China, and she was born decades earlier because of the need of the plot.
