Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie
Chapter 279 Rules of the New Century
After thinking of a way to help them, their mood became much brighter.
The sound of a carriage was heard outside the yard again. It seemed that more roses had been delivered. Zheng Yuan was left to watch the fire while Duan Minmin went out to receive the roses.
Three cars came at once, it seems that they have added people over there.
Duan Minmin collected the roses and walked into the kitchen: "Yuanbao, I'm afraid we need to find two more people. Rose Valley has added more people, and Sister Luo and the others may not be able to wash all the roses they sent over."
Zheng Yuan stuck his head out and took a look, and sure enough, he saw several large sacks piled in the yard.
"Okay, then let's ask Sister Luo to go find two more women from their place, otherwise it might not be good to keep the rose covered for too long. With more people, we can free up our hands to do our own things."
The two men walked into the yard and called out to Mrs. Luo who was washing clothes diligently.
"Sister Luo, come here first."
"Ma'am, go ahead and talk. I'm listening. There are too many roses and we can't delay." Mrs. Luo turned her head and looked at them while keeping her hands busy.
The two had no choice but to walk up to her.
"Sister-in-law, are there any women in your area who are willing to work here? If there are, please help us find two more, who should be more nimble and hardworking..."
"Ma'am, what did we do wrong? Don't chase us away. You tell us, we will do our job well."
Before they could finish their words, Mrs. Luo interrupted them with a crying voice.
"Madam, I...we will change, we...we will really change." Mrs. Wang could hardly speak clearly.
Mr. Yuan, who noticed the commotion here, rolled his eyes in disdain when he heard this, but didn't say anything, just shook his head repeatedly.
Just now she was pretending to be busy with work for others, but now she wants to drive her away. Just as he expected, this woman is not capable of doing any business.
Ah? Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were stunned when they heard what their two sisters-in-law said. When did they say they wanted to drive them away?
"Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Wang, what are you talking about? We didn't say we were going to kick you out. We're looking for people to work with you, not to replace you."
When they learned that the two were not going to drive them away, the sad expressions on Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Wang's faces disappeared, and they also felt a little embarrassed.
"But didn't you say that you wanted to be more efficient and hardworking? We thought you thought we were not efficient enough, so..." Mrs. Luo explained in a low voice.
"What are you thinking? You guys are doing a great job, but we have too much of this stuff, so we need to find more people."
The two of them were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Yes! Yes! Ma'am, the women and girls over there are all efficient and hardworking. They can guarantee that they can do the job properly." Mrs. Luo was afraid that the two would go back on their word.
"That's fine. After lunch, go find two people. The rule here is to provide three meals a day and twenty cents a day."
"But the working hours will be longer, from 7am to 9pm. You should explain this to the sisters-in-law. If they can accept it, they will come again if they are willing."
"Oh my, who wouldn't want to do such a good job? I'm sure everyone will rush to do it as soon as I tell them. But don't worry, ma'am, I will definitely choose the most capable one for you." Mrs. Luo patted her chest and promised.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law."
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. Madam, what are you talking about? Let's continue washing."
Knowing that they were not going to be driven away, Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Wang became very motivated.
Mr. Yuan, who had listened to everything, was a little dumbfounded. Why were these ignorant women treated so well? Twenty cents a day with food included, almost catching up with the treatment of him as an accountant.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin had no time to care what he was thinking. It was almost time for dinner, and it would take some effort to cook for so many people today.
So next Duan Minmin was responsible for watching the fire for distillation and picking vegetables, while Zheng Yuan was responsible for cooking.
When one of the steamers was done distilling that pot of distillation, the two men lifted the steamer down and prepared to use it to cook.
The kitchen was equipped with all kinds of kitchen utensils, which Zheng Yuan used very easily. Soon the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
The scent of roses mixed with the aroma of food gives a feeling of life and romance colliding together, which is unexpectedly harmonious.
Although Zheng Yuan cooked a simple meal, it was made up of white rice, cabbage fried with lard, and greasy pork belly. This is already a very simple meal in an ordinary family.
So when Zheng Yuan set the table and asked them to come and eat, several people looked at the dishes on the table and didn't dare to touch them.
Not only did the bricklayer and the two women not dare to take action, but Mr. Yuan was also reluctant to sit down.
He didn't expect Zheng Yuan and the others to be so generous. Not only did they let them eat together, but they also prepared such a sumptuous meal.
You know, the accountant was considered to be able to make a lot of money, earning one or two taels of silver a month. But even so, his family only had meat once every two weeks, and he would never think of using meat to entertain strangers.
"Why are you standing there? Sit down and eat!" Seeing that they didn't move, Zheng Yuan urged them.
"Madam, we have already paid, how can we eat such delicious food." Mrs. Luo tried her best to hold back her saliva.
"We agreed to provide food, why can't we eat? Sit down quickly, or it will get cold and won't taste good."
"Come! Take the bowls and chopsticks. The rice is in the kitchen. Go and get more."
The two men directly stuffed the bowls and chopsticks into the hands of several people, not giving them a chance to refuse, and started eating.
The four of them then sat down, but they only dared to take the bowl of cabbage and did not dare to add more rice.
The two men had no choice but to bring out a pot of rice. Each of them scooped a large bowl for them, covered it with a few pieces of greasy meat, and told them to eat quickly.
The four of them then relaxed a little, holding their bowls and putting food into their mouths silently but quickly, but no one dared to put the food on the table into their bowls.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin didn't say anything more. It was more important to feed themselves first, as they had a lot of things to do in the afternoon.
When the two put down their bowls and chopsticks, there was still a lot of food left on the two plates.
"Sister-in-law, Mr. Yuan, please divide these things up quickly. If there are any left later, we will have to throw them away." Zheng Yuan gave another instruction as he was afraid that the few people would not eat them.
Hearing that they would have to throw away the food if they couldn't finish it, the four of them became anxious and hurriedly put the food into their own bowls.
Not to mention the pork, even if the greasy fried cabbage were to fall over, it would be like cutting their meat!
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin found it a little funny that they had to use this trick to get everyone to eat well.
Sure enough, when the two of them went to the kitchen to take a look at the distillation situation, the table was already empty when they came out, and Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Wang were already cleaning up the dishes.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin did not stop them. They knew that they were feeling uneasy and asked them to do something to relieve their emotions.
"Thank you for your hospitality, madam. I would like to thank you both here."
Mr. Yuan stood up and thanked the two of them, his attitude obviously softened a lot.
"Thank you, madam! Thank you, madam!"
The bricklayer had already walked to the stove, but when he heard Mr. Yuan thanking him, he hurried back.
"It's okay, this is what we should do. It doesn't make sense for everyone to work without having any food to eat." Zheng Yuan smiled.
The bricklayer thought to himself, but the rule is to get paid for work, how can you get to eat such good food while working? He even envied the two women for being able to work with them for so many days.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin didn't know what he was thinking. If they knew, they would definitely tell him that this was the rule of the New Century.
