Adorable Food Goddess

As the new year approaches, good news finally comes from the front, adding a bit of joy to the festival.

It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, and Tianshangju is also going to have a holiday.

After a busy lunch, Ye Jiayao called all the guys together and distributed red envelopes to everyone to comfort them for a year's hard work.

Everyone was smiling happily as they took the heavy red envelopes. They were finally able to have a prosperous year this year.

Ye Jiayao was also full of joy: "Everyone has worked hard this year, but if you follow me, your hard work will not be in vain."

is not that right? Who has ever seen such a big red envelope! This has to be put aside for other employers. No matter how much the employer makes, it has nothing to do with them as clerks! Only the Second Young Mistress would be so generous.

"I am here to announce that from now on, I will use 5% of my income as a reward every year. Anyone who works hard will be rewarded." Ye Jiayao announced loudly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment and quickly calculated in their minds, five percent, five hundred thousand taels is two or five, and one million taels is fifty thousand taels. If they are all rewarded, everyone can get a share without saying a word. It's over a thousand taels. For people who only get a few taels of wages a month, this is simply an astronomical figure. It's hard to even think about it!

"Furthermore, anyone who reaches the age of forty-five in Tianshangju will be able to receive alimony from Tianshangju every month until you no longer exist." Ye Jiayao dropped another bombshell.

Retirement pension is a part of the modern social welfare system. After working all your life, isn’t it just to hope that you can live out your old age peacefully? In ancient times, there was no such system. Most people had to rely on their children to rely on for old age. She introduced this system to provide a guarantee for the employees of Tianshangju, and to calm people's hearts.

Everyone was shocked. Is there such a good thing in this world? Unheard of! The second young lady is not joking, right?

Seeing everyone's dull expressions, Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "What? Are you afraid that I won't keep my word? This can be written into the contract. If I don't honor it, you can go to the Yamen to sue me."

"No, no, Second Young Mistress, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just because it's so unexpected." Zhong Xiang said.

Deng Haichuan patted his chest: "Second Young Madam, I, Deng Haichuan, will live in heaven for the rest of my life."

"That's right, we are the people who live in heaven." Everyone said one after another.

There is no other employer in the world that is as good as the Second Young Mistress. With rewards and alimony, she doesn’t have to worry about having nothing to eat when she gets old.

Ye Jiayao looked at everyone with a smile. Only when everyone has a sense of belonging will they work harder. With such a group of loyal employees, there is no need to worry about the prosperity of Tianzheng.

Manager Zhao is completely convinced by the Second Young Madam. He has been in the mall for so many years and has met so many people and experienced so many things, but he has never seen an owner like the Second Young Madam. He has first-class business acumen and behaves like this. Atmosphere and really considers the guys.

In the past, he always had to worry about whether the guys would be lazy, whether they would betray their boss, etc. But now in Tianshangju, there is no need to think about such things at all. Everyone works consciously and is not afraid of doing more than others. , I am afraid that I will do less than others.

With the Second Young Mistress’s move, is there anyone who doesn’t work harder? Do you have to be even more determined?

Just when everyone was in high spirits, Xiao Shao, the boy next to Zhao Qixuan, came and brought two large carts of coconuts.

Ye Jiayao had always been thinking about these coconuts, but knowing that it was not easy to transport them from the south, she didn't have the nerve to rush Zhao Qixuan. Unexpectedly, it was about to be a holiday, and the coconuts were delivered.

"These coconuts just arrived this morning. The prince asked the young one to deliver them to the second young lady quickly. He said that it was lucky that they arrived before the year before, otherwise he would be too embarrassed to come to Tianshangju for dinner." Xiao Shao said with a smile.

Ye Jiayao said happily: "It's not too late, it's not too late. As long as we can get coconuts, it's never too late."

“How much silver do these coconuts cost?”

Xiao Shao said: "My eldest son said that he didn't spend much money on it. It's just a New Year's gift for the second young lady."

Ye Jiayao looked at the two large carts full of coconuts and didn't know what the price of coconuts was like in this era, so she couldn't estimate their value. I had no choice but to ask Cui Dongpeng to go to the pastry shop and get six gift boxes for Xiao Shao to take back.

"Your wife likes to eat this, it's a little bit of my appreciation."

Xiao Shao waved his hands repeatedly: "The prince said, you are not allowed to take anything."

Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "This is my gift to Mrs. Hou. I was going to send it, but I just asked you to take it back with you."

Xiao Shao still refused to take it, turned around and ran away.

Ye Jiayao was speechless and had no choice but to go back to Yongninghou Mansion and send the gift box over.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Ye Jiayao asked her servants to move more than thirty coconuts to her yard. Qiao Xi and others have never seen such a strange thing. It is round and hard as a stone.

"What is this for?" Someone asked Jiang Yue curiously.

Jiang Yue shrugged: "I don't know, but the second young lady said that this thing can be delicious."

She had no time to spare these days. Ye Jiayao had no time to tinker with these coconuts, so she piled them up first. Because the New Year's dinner in Prince Helian's Mansion was on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Ye Jiayao informed Youshi early on that day to go to Prince Helian's Mansion to help. Xia Chunyu wanted to leave the favor and come later.

As soon as Ye Jiayao arrived at the palace, she went to the kitchen with Xiao Jing surrounding her.

"Yao Yao, our ancestors have told you to rest. Why don't you go talk to your ancestors?"

Ye Jiayao neatly deboned the fish and said: "I haven't cooked for my ancestors for a long time. I just make some pastries on weekdays. I specially learned a few vegetarian dishes and will cook them for my ancestors later. It can be regarded as a meal." Give it your best."

"My ancestors know your thoughts, and they always praise you." Xiao Jing said.

Ye Jiayao smiled: "Then you have to perform better."

Xiaojing couldn't talk to her, so he had to let her go and stay with her. Nowadays, it is not easy to find such an opportunity to speak.

"My brother won the battle."

"I heard what Chunyu said. I hope the war will end soon and my eldest brother can come back soon."

Xiao Jing curled his lips: "Not so fast. If we don't completely eliminate Azak, it will be trouble in the future."

"It's true. It's just that the soldiers on the border suffered a lot. During the Chinese New Year, they couldn't reunite with their families and had to kill the enemy."

War is cruel, it would be great if the world could be peaceful.

"I heard that Zhao Qixuan and Su Su are going south after the New Year."

Ye Jiayao thought about the border trade and guessed that this was what they were going for. It might take several months for them to leave, so she asked, "When will they leave?"

"It's past fifteen! His parents are forcing marriage again. Hey, you got married, Chunfeng got married, and they are leaving again. It's getting more and more deserted and boring." Xiao Jing sighed.

Ye Jiayao smiled at him and said, "Then you should get married as soon as possible!"

"I don't want it, and I don't like it." Xiao Jing curled his lips. The one he liked has already been married by someone else. Where can he find another Yaoyao?

"Marriage is hard to say. You may fall in love with someone one day." Ye Jiayao said.

"I won't like others unless that person is like you." Xiao Jing blurted out.

Suddenly both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became weird.

Ye Jiayao was a little embarrassed. It wasn't that she didn't know what Xiao Jing was thinking, but she just thought about it for a long time and gradually faded away. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jing was still thinking about it.

This is not a good thing! How can I be happy if I can't let go?

"Ahem, I was joking." Xiao Jing said calmly.

Ye Jiayao forced a smile and changed the subject: "Why don't you go out and ask for favors? Nowadays, working in the Ministry of War requires socializing and socializing."

Xiao Jing couldn't say that he stayed at home on purpose today. As long as she came, he wouldn't go out.

"Isn't this the Chinese New Year at home? If I run out again, my mother will scold me again."

There was another silence for a long time, and Xiao Jing hesitated: "There is something I have always wanted to ask...how are you doing in the Hou Mansion?"

Ye Jiayao smiled lightly: "Okay, very good."

"Liu Li didn't give you any trouble?"

"No."

"Oh, that's good. If she gives you trouble, you can tell your mother. After all, she is her aunt. Liuli is still willing to listen to her words," Xiao Jing said.

"Yes, I will." Ye Jiayao knew that he really cared about her, but the more he did this, the more uncomfortable she felt.

"If you have been wronged in any way and have nothing to say, you can just tell me. Don't worry, I will listen and won't go to Brother Chunyu to settle the score."

"How can I be wronged? Who can bully me? It's not like you don't know what I'm capable of." Ye Jiayao smiled.

Xiao Jing's eyes darkened: "Anyway, just remember it. You just treat me as your younger brother and talk to your own younger brother. It's not a big deal and it's not embarrassing."

"Okay, okay, with my brother's support, I won't be afraid anymore." Ye Jiayao tried her best to look natural, but she just couldn't. She really treats him as a brother, it would be great if he could really treat her as a sister.

When he came to report safely and said that Chunyu was here, Xiaojing stood up hurriedly: "I'm going to talk to brother Chunyu. Don't make too many dishes. Just cook a few dishes for our ancestors."

Ye Jiayao nodded and smiled, watching him leave, taking a long breath of relief and focusing on cooking.

When Xia Chunyu arrived at Prince Helian's Mansion, he asked where Yaoyao was. She was told that she was in the kitchen. He asked the young prince again, and she was told that she was also in the kitchen.

Xia Chunyu felt a little unhappy. Although he knew that Xiaojing and Yaoyao were dead, there was always a knot in his heart that made him feel uncomfortable.

After handing the gift to the servant, Xia Chunyu first went to pay his respects to Princess Yide, and then went to pay his respects to his ancestors. The ancestor left him to talk, and Xiao Jing came after a while.

"Brother Chunyu."

Xia Chunyu smiled and said, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you since I came."

"Oh, I had a guest come just now. I was there to socialize for a while. I knew you were coming, so I sent them away quickly and came here." Xiao Jing said casually.

Xia Chunyu remained calm and drank tea leisurely, but the knot in his heart seemed to get bigger and heavier.

Why lie and cover up? If your heart is magnanimous, is there any need to be like this? It can be seen that Xiao Jing still has something in his heart.
