Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 288 Learning Etiquette (4)
"Girl Li, quickly show Fourth Aunt!"

General Zhongwu's Mansion is a newly replaced plaque. In the morning, people came from the palace to announce imperial edicts and rewards. Mrs. Chen has never seen such a world, and everything depends on the housekeeper in the mansion, which delays the time to pick up Qingli. She is waiting at the gate.

"Fourth Aunt, why did you come out, Qingli greets you."

Qingli performed a standard salute according to the movements taught by Nanny Yu, stood upright, folded her hands in front of her waist, with her right hand up, palms inward, and bowed her body, because the angle of bowing was practiced many times by Nanny Yu .

"Girl Li, don't be so outrageous with the fourth aunt. Come in with me."

The fourth aunt, Mrs. Chen, looks to be in her twenties, dressed in elegant clothes, with chrysanthemums embroidered on the neckline of her dress, she doesn't seem to be pretentious, and she looks very docile, but the mother Ji who came to pick up Qingli looks very strict , But that's okay, there is no one who is more powerful to help, some slaves with big thoughts, maybe they will bully the master.

General Zhongwu’s mansion has three courtyards. Speaking of it, four uncles and four aunts plus some servants live in it, and it still looks very empty. The pavilions, pavilions, pools, pavilions, and waterside pavilions along the way are reflected in the green pines and cypresses, rockery and strange rocks, flower beds and bonsai, wisteria Emerald bamboos are dotted among them, which looks very beautiful.Qingli wondered if everyone in Kyoto likes to build ponds and rockeries in their mansions, and so does Chunyu Motou's house.

"This mansion was originally the residence of an imperial merchant, but somehow offended the imperial concubine, the whole family was beheaded and exiled. Now the mansion has been taken back and rewarded to your fourth uncle."

The fourth aunt took Qingli's hand and walked to the backyard, and talked about the origin of the mansion. It seems that doing business is also difficult. Once you offend the royal family, there will be a lot of trouble. If you are unhappy, you can implicate the nine clans. This kind of feudal system is really annoying. People can't bear it.Qingli was afraid that her fourth uncle would offend the emperor one day, so she had to hurry up and find out all the news while she was still in the capital.

General Zhongwu's mansion was newly rewarded by the emperor, and it was equipped with a manager. In fact, most of it was meant to be monitored. The fourth aunt had too many things to deal with, and the maids and mothers-in-law were all queuing up to answer, so Mai Ya had to take Qing Li wandered around the mansion.

The fourth aunt Chen is kind and has no temper at all, because the fourth uncle is out on missions all the year round, and she has no children, and she is alone. It was fine when she was not out of the house before, and she could do it with Wen's company. Talking about it, she is the only one now, thanks to Qingli coming to the capital, Chen is very happy, he greets Qingli every day, takes her to the famous tea house in the capital to watch a play, go to a restaurant for dinner, loves her very much.

"Girl Li, it's better not to go back, just stay in the capital. Your fourth uncle will be happy to see you here when he comes back."

These two days have been accompanied by Qingli, talking funny from time to time, and Chen's smile is more, Qingli talked about the changes in Mojia Village, the conditions of the family are now good, they also bought a yard in the town, and now opened a small restaurant , The business is good, and I also talked about the situation of my grandma.

My fourth uncle, Mo Ruhai, was away all the year round, and she didn't come home these few years because of secret things. Even her daughter-in-law couldn't fulfill her filial piety in front of the old man, so she always felt uncomfortable.

She is an orphan and has no natal family. When Qingli's grandma, Li Shi, let her into the house, she still loved her as much as her own daughter. Whenever she thought about the past, Chen Shi felt sorry for the old man.

"Fourth aunt, grandma often talks about you. She is in good health now, and she can be brought to Kyoto to enjoy her happiness in the future."

The fourth aunt is now the head of the house. If it is unrealistic to go back to Mojia Village, and the fourth uncle is fighting outside, the family members must stay in the capital, and the grandparents can only make a fuss, but she thinks that she can come to the capital. It's definitely a pleasure to have a visit.

"The emperor rewarded a lot of gold and silver. I asked Director Wang to buy some useful things and send someone to send them back when the time comes. It's just that the journey is too long, and I'm afraid some of the food will not be brought back."

Mrs. Chen had a plan in mind, so she would send more fabrics. Grandpa Qingli likes tobacco leaves, uncle likes wine, and sisters-in-law like Mrs. Liu can just send some jewelry from Kyoto.

"Fourth aunt, I think Aunt Wen runs a shop to earn money."

Qing Li thought, Fourth Uncle's family is poor now, relying entirely on the emperor's rewards, if only relying on that little salary to maintain the expenses of a mansion, I'm afraid it will be too tight, if there is money to open a shop, it will be much better to let the shop generate money by itself.

"I've thought about this too. Although I have some money, I really don't know what to do. In the past, your fourth uncle also owned two shops in the capital. Now they sell some groceries. They don't lose money, but they don't have much profit either. "

Chen frowned, she didn't understand the twists and turns in business, her husband, Mo Ruhai, went on expeditions all year round and didn't have time to manage them, the two shops were in good locations, but they were both grocery stores.

"That's it."

Qing Li was thinking about what to do, and the fourth aunt said that the shops were located near rich people's homes, and it was obviously not profitable to open a grocery store, silk and cloth had to be purchased through channels, and the cost of jewelry shops was too high , rouge gouache, without her own formula, she can't make it. Even though she has a formula, she can't take it out casually. It will be bad if someone targets her.

What can you do? Selling cakes and snacks is definitely a good choice, because in Kyoto, there are actually a lot of cows. People from rich and noble families know that milk is a good thing, but they don’t like the smell of food and no one drinks it. Use this to wash your face and hands.

"It's good that Ernie is here."

With milk, cream can be made, and many desserts can be made. In fact, the ingredients are just a little less, but her hands-on ability is too poor now. If Erni is by her side to help, she can make a lot of fresh ones Style, opening a pastry shop should be very popular.

Although the rich families have their own cooks, they only cook some small snacks on weekdays. When they go out to greet and send gifts to friends, they also go to the pastry shop to buy them. This shop can’t be opened by itself. Find a backer If it is bigger, it will not be easy to be troubled by, and it will be good to divide it when the time comes.

Another shop, it’s a pity to be a grocery store, it’s better to be a furniture shop, modern tables, chairs and benches, furniture of various shapes, including lamps, pillows, sofa cushions, can be made, like the structure of IKEA, built in the backyard , The front yard is for display, and a few rooms are reserved for model houses. There is no shortage of rich people in Kyoto. The girl is very willing to give up when she gets married, and she will definitely earn a lot of money.

"Madam, Miss Li's idea is very good, and this old slave thinks it will be successful!" Ji Nanny looked at Qingli with admiration, and she said, "But what is the cream that Miss Li is talking about? Can it be made? If possible, then Definitely something new."

There are people from all over the world in Kyoto, and there are also weird people with red hair and blue eyes who came by boat from overseas. Their skin is like black charcoal, and they can’t see their faces clearly at night. For foreign things, there was a kind of small carriage that could run when it was wound up, and it sold very well.
