Volume 2, Chapter 221: Chen Qingyun is a scholar
The incident between Dong Youyin and Ke'er has taught everyone in the Dong family a profound lesson. Everyone has become more alert. If they don't want to be deceived, they must first stand upright.
Dongming Ziyu stayed at home for two days because of this matter, and returned to Fengcheng with Shangguan Ruoli and his two children on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.
I didn't go to school right away. I first bought a batch of servants and sent them back. After learning how to make new products, they will be distributed to branches in various places.
Now that Si Fang has received dividends from the dim sum shop and has money on his side, Dongming Ziyu has bought a few servants for his own Si Fang, which is regarded as the private property of Si Fang.
A housewife, in her early forties, surnamed Fan, is responsible for sweeping, washing, and cooking. A little maid, the same age as Ling Yue, eleven years old, named Ding Xiang, mainly serves Ling Yue. An eight-year-old maid
Si, serve the six-year-old Wulang.
As for Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli, they have space and will not be waited on.
After Qiu Wei, the family was about to go to Beijing, so they rented the small courtyard of Chen Xiangdong instead of buying a house. However, Zheng Tongsheng and Feng Tongsheng came to take the college examination and still lived in the small courtyard.
Dongming Ziyu, Zheng Tongsheng, Feng Tongsheng, Jiang Xiucai and Wang Xiucai lived together in this small courtyard to prepare for the college entrance examination. Now only Zheng Tongsheng and Feng Tongsheng have not passed the college entrance examination. They live here and they also want to ask Dongming for advice.
Ming Ziyu means.
Dongming Ziyu had a close relationship with fellow villagers of the same year and answered all questions, and he took great care of them.
This year Chen Qingyun also participated in the college examination, so he even lived in the small courtyard, discussed articles with a few people, and sharpened his skills before the battle.
When the college examination results were announced, all three of them were successful, and Chen Qingyun was still the eighth junior student.
Da Ya was busy in her pastry shop. When she heard that she had become a scholar, she fainted with joy. She called the doctor and found out that she was more than a month pregnant. The Chen family had a double celebration and held a grand banquet.
Old Mrs. Qian and the others are here. The eldest grandson and son-in-law have a promising future. Old Man Dong and Old Mrs. Qian are happy from the bottom of their hearts. Most of the depression during the New Year has dissipated.
Nowadays, many dim sum shops have added cake series products, fried potato chips, chicken popcorn, and fried chicken wings. They are also quickly imitated, which has really impacted the business of really delicious dim sum shops.
But as Shangguan Ruoli analyzed, everyone still takes seriously that the products of Haoshiyushi Pastry Shop are authentic. Especially the cake series products, people with a little bit of qualifications still choose to patronize Haoshihaoshi Pastry Shop.
This year is the year of Qiuwei. Chen Qingyun feels that his writing is not good enough and wants to practice for another three years. However, Daya and the Chen family think that his ranking is good and they have studied in the government school for more than a year. They strongly recommend that he take the exam.
What if you are lucky and win the election?
Dongming Ziyu also felt that it would be better for him to train for three years and then end up, but when he heard that he was also going to participate in Qiuweihou, he didn't say anything more. It would be good to have some experience and see the environment of the examination room.
Gu Lingyun also came back more than a month in advance to attend the Qiu Wei Festival. This time he brought many people and carriages with him, preparing to return to the capital with Dongming Ziyu's family and Shangguan after the exam.
Although there is Qianlima Express Station, which is very convenient to go to the capital, it does not have its own horse-drawn carriage, which is convenient and fast. There is no need to change cars frequently, let alone follow a fixed route. You can go as fast as you like.
The doctor the Shangguan asked for also arrived. He was a nephew from a branch of the clan, he was over sixty years old, and he brought his old wife and four servants with him. As a result, the medical room could no longer be occupied.
Dongming Ziyu took the money back and asked Old Man Dong to watch and build a second courtyard next to the medical room. As a residence for the village doctor, even if the doctor changes to someone else in the future, he will still be able to live in it.
When Dong Chunlei heard this, he felt that he could not let Dongming Ziyu give out the money, and wanted to sell it to the whole Dongzhou family. In the past few years, they knew how convenient it was to have a good doctor.
When Jiang Hexuan heard about this, he actually had someone send him fifty taels of silver, saying that he was a member of the Jiang family. Their Nanbeixi Village often got involved in the favor of government officials and got a share of the money.
Old Man Dong and Dong Chunlei discussed it and accepted the money. If they refused, the Dongzhou family would be excluded from Nanbeixi Village again. Besides, people in Nanbeixi Village would come to the Dongzhou family's medical room when they were sick.
It’s not a bad idea to receive money.
Old man Dong also took out his private house and expanded his yard to the back to build a large house with four entrances. The courtyard with one entrance in the front was the first to be built. It was used as a snack room, with separate rooms for bread, cakes, biscuits, candies, and fried food.
There is also a warehouse, and the maids who make snacks also live in the front yard.
The second courtyard is divided into five small courtyards, where the male servants and servants of the family live, and a small courtyard is dedicated to the kitchen and dining room for the servants to eat. The third courtyard houses the old man Dong and his family, and the fourth courtyard is the livestock house and fodder.
house, woodshed and valet's house to look after the animals.
Old Man Dong sighed: "Now the four-in-one courtyard is still not enough. How did we live in a few small mud houses when we were in our hometown?"
Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "Life is getting better. When we separate our families, we will live here with the eldest brother and build a separate yard for the other three rooms. Otherwise, it will be impossible for the grandchildren to live together when they get married."
The folks of Dongzhou's family have also made a lot of money in the past two years, and they have either expanded or built new houses. It is no longer possible to build houses in Xinan, so those with registered residence in Beixi Village go to Xibei to build houses.
At first, they were afraid of the new environment. They wanted to live together, even across a stream. So they built a few shacks in Beixi Village to make up for the situation, and built their house in the courtyard of Dongzhou's family. Now they get along with each other more and more in Beixi Village.
Well, there are several families who are intermarried, and more and more people are walking out of the high courtyard walls of the Dongzhou family and mingling with the locals.
When the new house was being built, Dongming Ziyu and his family did not go back because Dongming Ziyu was working on his future in the examination room.
Qiu Wei took three exams in a row, each lasting three days, and could go home to rest for one night in between. Shangguan Ruoli had to cook and make soup for Dongming Ziyu and take good care of his life.
In addition, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, Shangguan Ruoli is teaching her subordinates how to make mooncakes in the dim sum room. The mooncakes here only have three kinds: five kernels, white sugar, and brown sugar. She added lotus paste, egg yolk, bean paste, jujube paste, fruits and other Cantonese-style mooncakes.
Soviet-style mooncakes filled with lard, ham, bacon, shrimp and other ingredients.
Putting these mooncakes into gift boxes and selling them in high, medium and low-end categories is convenient and decent. The key is that the profit is considerable. It has a reputation as a really delicious pastry shop and is very easy to sell.
Not only in Fengcheng, branches all over the country have also launched new mooncakes, attracting customers to rush to buy them. There is a long queue in front of the really delicious shop in Liulin County.
Ke'er was walking back and forth in the dim sum shop, and she became very angry when she saw her brother and sister-in-law who were idly swatting flies in the shop!
Da Zhizi confessed to Jiang Xian Cheng. Knowing that Jiang Xian Cheng had been punished by the clan rules, he was afraid of his revenge, so he took the money from two shops and ran away.
Jiang County Prime Minister ignored her and took back two shops. She rented this shop from her private house.
There was no big scoundrel in the store, and before the scoundrel came to the door, her cruel and heartless parents, brother and sister-in-law came over first, asking to help look after the store.
Ke'er's mother came back from outside in a hurry, "Ke'er, there's a long queue in front of the store! You can think of a way!"
Ke'er said solemnly: "What can I do? I don't even know the recipe for the mooncakes."
But Erniang rolled her eyes and said, "You go find Dong Youyin again. If you can charm him five times and three times at one time, you will definitely be able to do it a second time!"
