Lady Guan smiled and distributed the bread to her family. She also ate one and could not help but praise, “That woman’s cooking is really good! I wonder if she would like to come to our residence to be a cook. I can give her a salary.” Master Guan did not care about such things and said casually, “Lady, you can go and ask.”
“Mm.” Lady Guan smiled and nodded. She was thinking about this matter in her heart. Her son and daughter loved to eat this snack. She herself and even Old Master also loved to eat it. If she could hire that woman, she would be able to eat it every day in the future, right? Moreover, if there were guests in the residence, it would be worth it to have this fresh food.
After the meal, Lady Guan did not see Mother Jian. She asked Mother Liu, “Where is that woman just now?”
Mother Liu knew that this lady was asking about Mother Jian. She felt a little uneasy. She did not know why the Lady was looking for Mother Jian. was there a problem with the cake?
She said hesitantly, “She is no longer here.”
Lady Guan was a little surprised. She also saw Mother Liu’s unease and said, “This lady thinks that the desserts she made are very delicious. I want to talk to her. If she still comes, can you pass a message to me?”
Mother Liu heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that she thought the food made by Mother Jian was delicious. She smiled and said, “Mother Jian went out for some matters. She will come back later.”
Lady Guan nodded and said, “I’ll leave my servant here. When she comes back, can my servant bring her there?”
Mother Liu hesitated and said, “Umm… Mother Jian can if she wants to.” “Of course. I won’t force her. It’s fine if she doesn’t want to go.”
Mother Liu smiled and said, “That’s fine. I’ll tell her when she comes back.”
Mother Jian went out to buy a shop. She brought enough money today and carefully went to the carpenter’s shop.
The carpenter shop owner was surprised when he saw her. “Why are you here, Madam?”
Mother Jian smiled and said, “I’m here to buy a shop today.”
The owner was extremely surprised. He did not expect that this woman would make a decision in just one day. Usually, it would take at least ten days to half a month for someone to buy a shop.
Mother Jian smiled shyly. “If you think it’s suitable, then I’ll buy it. Are you going to sell it now, Boss?”
The owner quickly nodded. “I’ll sell it! Since Madam has already decided, then let’s go to the county office to change the house deed. After Madam buys it, I can move out.”
Mother Jian also nodded and followed him to the county office.
The house deed was completed very quickly. It cost a total of a thousand taels of silver. There was no bargaining. The price the boss offered was very fair, and Mother Jian also felt that it was suitable.
The boss held the silver and said with a smile, “Lady is really a straightforward person. Then I’ll ask someone to move out the things in the shop in the afternoon. By then, Madam can open her own shop.”
After saying that, he was a little curious. “May I know what Madam wants to sell? If you want a table or a screen, I can give you a discount.”
Mother Jian smiled and said, “Then thank you very much, Boss. My shop is going to sell desserts, and I really need to make a lot of things. When the time comes, I’ll show you the blueprint. I believe in your craftsmanship, so I’ll have to trouble you.”
The Boss laughed happily. “No problem, no problem.”
When they left the county office, they met Ming Zhiyan at the door. The Boss immediately bent down to avoid him.
Ming Zhiyan saw Mother Jian and was surprised for a moment. He asked,
“What is Auntie doing here?”
Mother Jian smiled and said, “I’m here to buy a shop.. Lord Ming, you’ve just come back from work?”
