Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion

That kind of satisfaction of being the backbone and leading people to success, how can it be compared to the lower body, isn't it a joke?

Jin Rong is in a similar situation. This boy has become Jia Huan's number one errand boy. He is very smart and has made a lot of money through running errands.

Didn't Jia Huan have a small grocery store before?

Jin Rong is good at dealing with people. He flatters and compliments easily. In modern times, he is an absolute social master.

This guy has no interest in martial arts training or fighting in the arena. Instead, he is very interested in business matters.

Jia Huan would naturally make use of his talents and let this guy go directly to the small grocery store to help.

First, he worked as an errand boy. Jia Huan also gave him another task, which was to send him a basic price survey form in half a month.

Jia Huan also wanted to see the strange thing about the legendary egg costing one tael of silver each.

As a result, when I saw the excitement here in Rong Mansion, I didn't know what to say.

Ahem, this is also funny to say.

The big kitchen of Rong Mansion is a magical place, at least in Jia Huan's opinion.

Except for the old lady, the second wife and Wang Xifeng, the rest of the people waiting for meals other than the portions have to calculate the money, and no one penny should be missed!

In a place as big as Rongfu, sometimes the regular meals are cold when they are delivered. How can you eat them?

In addition, the taste of the portioned meals is not very good, and it can be regarded as a kind of big pot rice and big pot dishes.

This forced many maids, as well as aunts and daughters-in-law who had some spare money, to spend extra money to order food in the big kitchen, and had to endure the glares.

Damn it, how do you give Jia Huan a sense of déjà vu like a state-owned hotel in the public era?

Aunt Zhao is also a delicious food. Is it human nature to like delicious food?

In the past, I was limited to money, so I could only order food from the big kitchen once in a while. Now I can order food almost every day, but of course I don’t dare to order anything too expensive.

But even so, when Jia Huan went back to eat at night, she often heard Aunt Zhao scolding her, saying that the guy in the big kitchen was so evil that he charged her a hundred cents for a bowl of custard.

He curiously asked about the purchase price of eggs in the big kitchen, and was surprised.

From Aunt Zhao's mouth, I learned that the eggs purchased by large kitchens cost at least ten cents each, and they were basically around twenty cents, which was ten to twenty times more than what was sold outside.

Yes, eggs outside cost about a penny each. This is the price at ordinary times and does not fluctuate much. After reading the price survey for almost half a year, Jia Huan can vouch for this.

Tsk tsk, eggs are like this, but what about the other ingredients purchased from outside by the big kitchen?

No wonder, the harvests in the farms outside Rongfu City are not as good as each year. It was obvious that it was not just the man who managed the farm who had tampered with the situation, but there was also an alliance of interests working together in the mansion.

You can’t run away when purchasing a large kitchen, that’s for sure!

If you think about it, you will know the reason. If the harvest in the farm outside the city is normal. Many of the materials needed for the big kitchen can be obtained for free from the farm outside the city, so how can we get them by hand?

Without further ado, Jia Huan was disgusted when he saw the excitement in his own house, but he had no idea. He couldn't get involved in the internal affairs of Rong Mansion, and he was not willing to get involved.

This kid Jin Rong is quite capable at doing things. Even the shopkeeper of the small grocery store often praised this kid's talent in front of Jia Huan.

This time, didn't you just buy five shops at a low price from the unlucky Rongfu family?

Except for one bookstore and one specializing in the Four Treasures of the Study, the other three stores sell normal goods, all purchased from the Xue family store.

Don't underestimate the Xue family's shop. As an imperial merchant, their family specializes in delivering trinkets such as beaded flower headdresses to the palace. They are not only exquisite but also fashionable.

Naturally, the concubines in the palace will not use the hair ornaments provided by the Xue family, but those low-ranking beauties and many maids will use them.

This business alone is enough to become the most stable source of wealth for the Xue family.

After all, they are all things used in the palace. As long as there is a little publicity outside, the business will be quite good. The top wealthy and powerful people look down on it. Is it possible that ordinary wealthy businessmen and ordinary well-off families also look down on it?

In addition, although the Xue family has been divided into clans, the relationship is still there and the business network has not been severed.

The Xue family shop in the capital has been able to continuously obtain specialties from the south, such as silk and porcelain, which are naturally easy to sell in the shop.

Jin Rong was helping run errands at the newly opened shop, and judging from his mental state, it was clear that he was enjoying it.

Of course Jia Huan didn't treat him badly, and the monthly salary he paid was quite a lot. I heard that even his parents were a little jealous.

Under such circumstances, it was not easy for him to come to the clan school every morning and listen carefully to the lectures. How could he have any thoughts about the new Qin Zhong?

As for the two guys who love each other, Jia Huan also made the best use of them.

They are responsible for checking the quality of rouge, gouache, and hair ornaments. They are also very busy as purchasing consultants.

Ahem, after getting used to it, these two guys became more and more pretentious.

However, they have gradually developed their own unique insights and views on things like rouge, gouache, and head flower accessories. With the help of Jia Huan, he opened a workbench at the small grocery store. He is currently trying to make rouge gouache by himself and is very busy.

Of course, Jia Baoyu didn't know this. If he knew, he would probably make these two close friends.

As for the other students, they all have their own things to do, and their personalities are not that out of the ordinary.

He didn't have much opinion about the new Qin Zhong. Wherever you can, go wherever you can, and nowhere if you can't.

For example, Brother Cong and a few others who are interested in martial arts practice basically take root in the small martial arts studio every afternoon and don't care at all about the clan studies here.

Even if you don’t want to hang out outside, you can still hang out at the Cuju court in the afternoon.

Finally, for students who are determined to learn and make progress, they only focus on studying. How can they care about what their new classmates are like?

Among them, Jia Lan, who went to school half a year ago, is the most popular!

I don’t know how his mother Li Wan taught him. He was like a little old man at a young age.

I kept reading all day long, as if I was immersed in it.

But in fact, every afternoon when the lively sounds of the Cuju field reached the teaching building, this guy's little eyes were full of desire, but unfortunately he didn't dare to do anything.

Jia Huan has seen him a few times, but there is nothing much to ask him to relax and talk about the principle of combining work and rest. He is afraid that Li Wan will come to find trouble the next day.

Even Aunt Zhao had warned her more than once or twice in private not to provoke Li Wan easily. How could Jia Huan easily cause trouble for herself?

In short, the situation here in Clan Science is quite good. After Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong arrived, there were no obvious changes.
