Chapter 121 Report
When the maids arrived, Zheng Sisi had already been welcomed into the gate, and all the servants were helping to move things.
Rose and Solstice stood nearby and shouted, "Everyone, be careful. These jars contain fragile items. Please handle them with care."
Zheng Sisi saw several maids and raised her hand to greet them: "Madame Li, Madame Liu, Madame Hong, Madame Gui, hello everyone!"
Several people came to the front and knelt down to salute: "Hello, girl!"
Zheng Sisi said, "Madam Gui, please take people back to cook. We haven't eaten yet. We only had a bun at the city gate."
They didn't expect the girl to come back at this time and hadn't eaten yet.
Aunt Gui said, "Miss, I will take someone to do it right away."
Then he turned around and called the maids in the kitchen to run towards the kitchen.
Zheng Sisi said to Madam Liu again, "Madam Liu, please arrange a warehouse and move all those jars in. Tell them to be careful not to drop them. They contain chicken and duck eggs, which are easy to break."
Aunt Liu: "Okay, young lady!"
Nanny Hong also followed Nanny Liu and went to help move things.
Zheng Sisi invited the third prince, Zhong Ruiyu and Zheng Zhiyuan to the reception room to have tea first and then go back after dinner.
Along the way, Nanny Li reported the situation in the mansion. She knew that the Third Prince knew some things, so she did not avoid them.
Madam Li said, “Miss, I went to take over the restaurant, and the situation is not very good, just like the cloth shop.
The shopkeeper has changed for a few years. He is also a distant relative of the Fang family. He is a bit harsh and beats the chef and the waiter. He also sells inferior products as good ones to deceive customers. Therefore, the store has a bad reputation and there is not much business.
The shopkeeper and waiter that Madam used to lead have been replaced. They were driven out by Fang's people, and now we can't find out where they went. "
Zheng Sisi: "So how do you deal with it now?"
Madam Li: "When I went there, the shopkeeper was unwilling to hand over the goods and acted like a rogue. He even wanted to take action. Fortunately, I brought guards with me and sent him directly to the government.
Several of the restaurant's chefs and waiters left because they were afraid that we would offend the Xie family and the business would go out of business. Only a few honest people whose families were poor were left, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to find jobs, so I signed new work contracts with them.
I also sent someone to check, and he is indeed an honest man and can be used.
The day before yesterday, I sent two skilled maids from the kitchen to the restaurant to tidy up everything inside and out, and we are waiting for you to come back and reopen it."
Zheng Sisi: "Well, I'll see what happens in the next two days and then determine the opening time. As for those who left, remember, I will never hire them again. I don't support people who flatter the powerful and bully the weak and betray their masters."
Li Ma: "Miss, I understand. I asked Uncle Li to bring you a message yesterday. In the past few days, some people from the mansion came to visit and sent invitations. They all asked when you would return home. I sent them away."
Zheng Sisi: "I guessed that, too."
The third prince said, "I will go to the palace after dinner and will give you a letter when I come back later. If the matter is resolved tomorrow, the restaurant can open the day after tomorrow. I believe the business will be very hot."
Zheng Sisi asked: "Are you going to show it directly to the emperor or use a tool for comparison?"
The Third Prince leaned over and asked seriously, "Tell me, what kind of comparison method is this?"
Zheng Sisi: "My idea is this. You should bring both new and old farm tools. It would be best if you could find a plot of land in the garden to do the experiment and let all the civil and military officials come to see it."
The Third Prince: "Okay, this is a good method. Let them see or use it directly. The effect will be more effective than us spreading it through words."
The Third Prince thought for a moment and said, "I will arrange for Qingfeng to go to the Ministry of Works to bring back all your farm tools. Otherwise, it will not be your turn after the court session ends tomorrow, and they will all be snatched away by those old foxes."
Zheng Sisi: "Yes, yes, yes, I reserved this first. If they want it, let them wait."
