Chapter 503: Paying wages
Before closing the shop at night, Jiang Fubao gathered everyone in the clinic, including his second sister Jiang Ruyi.
"Today is the day to pay wages, everyone line up." These words made everyone cheer.
"Daqian, Dawang, you cleaned very diligently. There were no cases where the table was piled with dishes and chopsticks left over from the previous table when guests arrived. The floor was also swept and mopped very cleanly. Here's a reward, two taels each!"
Jiang Fubao took out four taels of silver from the money box.
Daqian Dawang hurried forward to take it.
"Thank you, Master."
"Thank you for the reward, Miss—"
The two of them couldn't stop laughing.
"Dan'er and Lu'er are also two taels." Jiang Fubao took out another four taels of silver.
Like the servants, the two maids were extremely happy and kept touching the silver.
"Shitou, Erya, you protected me and my second sister, and dealt with several troublemakers this month. I'll reward each of you with one tael of silver, a total of three taels of silver!"
"Thank you Miss——"
"Yun'er, Qian'er, Xin'er, the temperature is high in summer and you are really working hard in the kitchen. I will give you a high temperature subsidy of two taels of silver, and a salary of four taels of silver each."
It was a hot day, and the already hot kitchen was like a steamer. The people inside were sweating profusely. Jiang Fubao felt sorry for them and simply gave each of them two taels of silver.
The three of them were so excited that they almost jumped up, and each of them had a bright smile on his face.
"Thank you, miss."
"Thank you, Master!"
"Miss is so kind to the servants~"
Jiang Fubao smiled back: "If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well? You are all diligent and never lazy. I have seen it all."
The maids and servants were not jealous even when they took two taels of silver.
There is no comparison between being busy in the front and being busy in the kitchen. Working in the kitchen is much more tiring.
"Second sister, as the head chef of our clinic, we can't do without you, so you deserve the highest salary! For purchasing, managing the kitchen, high temperature allowance, plus bonus silver, your salary this month is eighty taels. Take it."
Jiang Fubao simply pushed all the remaining silver in the money box over, and it sparkled with silver.
The light almost blinded Jiang Ruyi, and she quickly closed the money box.
"Then I won't be polite, haha." Jiang Ruyi cheered, and her laughter echoed in the clinic.
The reason why Jiang Fubao was so generous was that she earned a lot of money every month.
After the clinic's business stabilizes.
After deducting the costs, I can get at least thirty taels every day.
Occasionally, there are special situations, such as a patient bought two ginseng roots the day before yesterday, and he made eighty taels of money that day.
I wanted to give one third of the shop's monthly revenue to my second sister, but she refused, saying that ten taels of silver a month was enough.
Jiang Fubao could only try his best to give her more money.
In the evening, Jiang Fubao didn't eat at home.
She invited all the servants in the clinic, including her second sister, to a restaurant for a meal as a team-building activity.
The other servants in the Jiang family are envious.
Therefore, when Jiang Wangyou was selecting the waiter in the embroidery shop, these people wanted to use all their skills.
Early August, midsummer.
Youran Embroidery Shop is now open for business.
Jiang Fubao specially invited his godmother to come over, so that he could have the living signboard of the county magistrate's wife.
The business of the shop was so booming that half of the embroidery products were sold in one day.
After all, a clinic can't take care of the business, but embroidery can.
Who doesn’t need a screen, clothes, shoes or a handkerchief?
Instead of buying from other shops, it’s better to buy from the Jiang family. You might become familiar to the magistrate’s wife.
"Second brother, when will the autumn examination start?" One evening.
Jiang Fubao was sitting on the swing in the yard, swinging. He asked Jiang Tongmu who was teasing his son in front of him.
"It's just these two days. I hope Tongji and the others won't encounter any accidents. They must be on the list." Jiang Tongmu was stunned. He calculated the days and said.
There are three examinations in the Autumn Examination. If you pass, you will have to stay there for more than half a month.
If my brothers can come back by the end of September, it will be considered fast.
Jiang Fubao thought about it, then said, "That's great. I can eat the chestnut cake I made when I come back."
The chestnut season is coming soon.
A few days ago, Jiang Fubao was bored in the clinic, so he worked together with his second sister to make a cake.
If the chestnuts are ripe, it will definitely taste better with sweet chestnut filling.
"What chestnut cake?" Jiang Tongmu stared at her.
"You'll know when your brothers come back." Jiang Fubao then realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
In total, they made a palm-sized cake, which was eaten up by her, her second sister, and the servants of the clinic.
How could I leave it to my second brother?
Jiang Fubao jumped off the swing guiltily and ran away.
"Why are these children being treated differently?" Jiang Tongmu was extremely jealous.
Soon, the high temperature of summer gradually faded away, and with the fall of rain, autumn came quietly.
The emerald green leaves turned slightly yellow.
There were many dead leaves scattered on the ground.
A breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness to the air.
Jiang Fubao, who just celebrated his birthday, has already changed into autumn clothes.
end of September.
The brothers still haven't come back.
But the news had gotten out.
Brother Bujiu is on the list, ranking fifth, followed closely by Shen Hechi, ranking sixth. Unfortunately, brother Jiang Tongji and brother Mingxue both failed to make the list.
But it was within Jiang Fubao's expectations.
The two of them participated in the Autumn Examination this time just to gain experience.
They should have come back earlier, but probably because they couldn't wait for their brother, the four of them just came back together.
The last day of the month.
Four familiar figures appeared at the door of the clinic.
Jiang Fubao stretched lazily with his mouth opened in surprise, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.
"Hey, Fubao, are you hungry? You open your mouth and ask for food. What a coincidence, I actually brought you some food. Try it." Kong Mingxue took out a piece of unknown small cake and stuffed it into Jiang Fubao's mouth.
Only thumb size.
When Jiang Fubao chewed it, he found that it was filled with sour fruit filling.
The outer skin is sweet and sticky, which balances out the sour taste and is surprisingly delicious.
"Brother Mingxue, you actually brought me food? Tell me, what do you want to do?" Kong Mingxue is a very straight man. If he brought her food, he must have wanted her help with something.
"I didn't buy it for you. It's not my fault. He knows you're greedy. Tsk tsk, this clinic is great. Come, take my pulse and see if I'm okay."
Kong Mingxue sat down on the chair, stretched out his arms and grinned.
After a summer, he became much darker.
He has lost weight and is not as fat as before, but he looks much stronger.
"You are in good health. How could you let your mouth down? Brother Mingxue, I never thought that when I was alive, I would see you lose weight. You are just a little darker, like a black bear spirit."
Jiang Fubao moved his hand away and started arguing with him out of habit.
"Fubao, Fubao, you were still cute when you were a child. Look, now when you see me, you poke my heart. Your brother is so heartbroken." Kong Mingxue covered his chest and pretended to faint.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, Fubao. How have you been these past few months? Has anyone caused any trouble?" Meng Bujiu took a step forward and asked.
