A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

When she was selecting people just now, she asked each person questions, and wrote down what they could do and their names.

"Uncle Chen will be the steward of this courtyard for now, and Aunt Huang will be in charge of the inner courtyard. Aunt He will be in charge of the kitchen first, and everyone else will follow their instructions. That's it for today, and I'll come back tomorrow to make arrangements for you."

I haven't figured out what to do specifically and how to allocate the resources yet, so let's just make a rough allocation like this for now.

It’s getting late today, so let them settle down first and then find someone to come for training tomorrow.

"Yes, ma'am." Everyone responded in unison.

"Madam, don't you live here?" Uncle Chen asked in confusion.

"Well, I'll come back tomorrow morning. Uncle Chen, please lock the door at night. I'll leave this place to you."

"Yes, I will definitely live up to your trust, Madam." Uncle Chen replied respectfully.

After saying that, Xia Tian asked Ningxiang to give a hundred taels of silver to Aunt He, and then took Ningxiang, Cuiyun and others back home.

Aunt He used to work as a housekeeper in the kitchen of a wealthy family. She could read and keep accounts, so in the summer she was asked to take care of the food problems of the people in the courtyard.

The other girls basically know how to cook, so it should be no problem for them to handle it for two days.

There are wells in the front and back yards of this two-story courtyard, which is quite convenient.

In the evening, Xia Tian went to Lingyun Pavilion.

"I heard from Mu Feng that you bought some servants today?" Shen Nian saw Xia Tian coming over and pulled her to sit down.

"Well, I'm here to ask for your help, Brother Shen!" Xia Tian replied with a smile.

Shen Nian raised his head and looked at her.

"Brother Shen, do you have someone suitable to lend me? I can teach them the rules and regulations. You know, I don't understand much about these things."

Shen Nian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll ask Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li to come over and help you train for two days."

"Is that Aunt Zhang from your villa?" Xia Tian asked curiously.

She had seen this Nanny Zhang once when she came to the city last year, and had never seen her again.

But at that time, Aunt Zhang seemed to like her very much, and she also thought Aunt Zhang was good.

"Yes, that's her. Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang used to work for my mother. They are family, you can rest assured."

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Shen." Xia Tian naturally had no objection.

Now that we have the people who have been trained, there is one more thing, which is that the restaurant owner also needs to be arranged as soon as possible.

It is impossible for her to open a restaurant and manage it personally every day. That is not realistic.

"Brother Shen, can I arrange for someone to go to Yupinxuan and study with Manager Bai for two days?"

Although Uncle He said that he had been a shopkeeper, it is still unclear how capable he was.

She wanted to ask Manager Bai to help take care of the child for two days to get a feel for the situation and also to learn a little.

If Uncle He is able to take on the position of shopkeeper by then, she won't have to recruit anyone from outside.

"Okay. Let Mu Feng take you there tomorrow." Shen Nian nodded. He didn't expect that this girl was so organized in doing business. She arranged everything step by step very well.

He has been very busy recently and has not had time to pay much attention to her. Unexpectedly, she was so quick and had already found the person.

The next day, before Shen Nian went on duty, he sent someone to greet Nanny Zhang and Uncle Li.

After breakfast, Xia Tian took Ningxiang, Cuiyun, Cuiling and Mu Feng to Shen Nian's villa.

When Aunt Zhang saw Xia Tian, she was overjoyed and quickly invited her into the house. "Madam, you haven't been here for a long time. The prince sent someone to tell me this this morning. Madam, please have a cup of tea first."

Xia Tian smiled and sat down with Aunt Lazhang. "Don't be polite, Aunt. Sit down and talk first. I need your help later!"

"Madam, please let me know if you have anything to say. It is my blessing to be able to help you." Nanny Zhang hasn't been so happy for a long time. She is very happy to be able to help the prince and the lady.

Xia Tian then told Aunt Zhang that she had bought some people and wanted her to train them for two days.

Nanny Zhang naturally agreed to everything.

The two chatted for a while, and Xia Tian finished his cup of tea. Aunt Zhang sent someone to call Uncle Li over, and they went to Linglong Lane together.

Uncle Chen looked out the door several times early in the morning. When he saw Mu Feng's carriage coming, he quickly opened the door and stood at the door to greet him.

Xia Tian got off the carriage and went directly to the reception room with Nanny Zhang and Uncle Li.

Ningxiang handed the tea leaves and tea sets she brought to Aunt Huang and asked her to arrange someone to make tea first.

I forgot to buy tea sets and tea leaves yesterday, so when I came here today, Ningxiang brought a set directly from Jinglanyuan.

I was so busy in the summer that I forgot about it. I made a list of the things I needed last night and planned to prepare them today.

After a while, the tea was ready and Aunt Huang brought it over.

"Aunt Huang, go call everyone out first and gather them in the yard. Men and women should stand separately." Xia Tian ordered.

"Okay, ma'am." Aunt Huang agreed and went out to call people to gather.

Not long after, Aunt Huang came in and said that everyone was there.

Xia Tian took Nanny Zhang and Uncle Li out of the house.

"Uncle Chen, this is Uncle Li. I've invited him here to teach everyone some etiquette." Xia Tian said to Uncle Chen, who was standing in the front row on the left. "Starting today, Uncle Li will teach you for two days. Everyone, please follow the rules and learn them well. Anyone who doesn't listen will be sent back."

After saying that, he introduced Aunt Zhang to the girl standing on the other side.

"This is Aunt Zhang. Like Uncle Li, she's here to teach you some etiquette. Everyone, study hard. Whoever does well will be of great use to me later."

Some people were curious, some were nervous, but no one said anything and just listened quietly.

They arrived here yesterday, but the owner didn't live here and there were no other servants.

I don’t know what the lady wants them to do by placing them here.

Xia Tian then remembered something else. After these people came, they had not been given new names. She thought it would be better to give each of them a new name so that they would be easier to remember.

However, she was not good at naming, so she directly handed this matter over to Nanny Zhang and Ningxiang.

The same thing happened with the boys, they just asked Uncle Li and Mu Feng to name them.

After giving the instructions, Nanny Zhang and Uncle Li went about their business.

Xia Tian called Uncle He over and asked directly, "Uncle He, I have a restaurant that will open in July or August. If I ask you to be the manager then, are you capable of doing it?"

Uncle He was stunned for a moment. When his wife assigned him tasks yesterday, he thought she would not use him, and he felt a little disappointed.

He didn't expect that such a good thing would be waiting for him.

Now that he realized what was happening, he could no longer conceal the joy on his face. He hurriedly bowed to Xia Tian and said, "Madam, I will do my best to live up to your trust."

Seeing that Uncle He was not being modest, Xia Tian agreed directly and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Uncle He still had the confidence to be the shopkeeper.

If Uncle He is timid, then she will consider changing the manager.

"Okay. But I'm not sure if Uncle He meets my requirements for a shopkeeper, so I told Shopkeeper Bai at Yupinxuan that I want you to learn from him for a while. What do you think?"

This must be said in advance. If the examination does not meet the requirements, it will not work.

Uncle He agreed without hesitation, "I will follow your instructions, Madam."

Xia Tian nodded. Seeing that there was no embarrassment on his face, he was satisfied. So he decided to let Manager Bai take a look first.
