Chapter Thirty Aisha
After breakfast on the day of catching the thief, Ariel, the maid behind him, wiped Zhang Cheng's mouth. Zhang Cheng said: "Well, Aisha has done a great job in protecting the family's property this time. Aisha, what do you wish for?"
?”
Elsa: "I want a sister to come to my house as a second-class maid."
Zhang Cheng nodded: "Okay, then do what Miranda did. Get twenty gold coins from Miss Ruier, and then go there in the family carriage. Try to go in the morning."
Elsa: "Yes, sir."
Aisha's family structure is much simpler. She is a worker's son marrying a worker's daughter. In this era, it is relatively popular for childhood sweethearts and free love.
One of them had just started working and had a low income, the other had no dowry, but they still broke through all the obstacles and came together. The more important thing was to get married. At that time, Elsa's mother's pregnancy could no longer be hidden from anyone.
As the real culprit behind the pregnancy of an unmarried young girl with a big belly, Elsa's father must certainly bear the responsibility.
So, the two young people rented a cheap house outside to support a small family.
Elsa's mother gave birth to Elsa when she was thirteen years old. As a worker's daughter, Elsa's mother was never idle. Soon after giving birth, she began to take care of the child while forming a laundry service with the women from the surrounding neighbors.
In this laundry group, Elsa's mother is responsible for ironing clothes.
As Aisha grew up year by year, Erxun watched and began to help her mother take care of her younger siblings. When the younger siblings got older, other younger siblings were responsible for taking care of them. Aisha began to help her mother run errands and iron clothes.
It is the last step of laundry, and the next step is to send the ironed clothes back.
At a young age, Elsa started running errands back and forth, delivering washed clothes to each family.
In fact, Elsa, who had just bloomed, still had many suitors in the neighborhood, but Elsa's mother drove away these brats who had ill intentions and wanted to take over her little cabbage.
Aisha's mother felt that she got married too early, because she had a negative distance communication with the person she liked on the grass by the river early, and got married after doing so for several months. Aisha's mother felt that,
We can't let Aisha follow her own path.
If I had not gotten pregnant early back then, but worked as a maid in a wealthy family, I could have saved some dowry. At that time, I would have still married the father of my child, because the father of the child had also worked for a period of time, and his salary had increased.
It won't be very embarrassing from the beginning.
Take clothes as an example. Most of a family's clothes come from donations from the church. Under the call of the church, church members will donate old clothes that they no longer wear to the church. The church collects the old clothes, cleans them, mends them, and distributes them to people in daily life.
Difficult family.
At this point, the major churches still cooperate. For example, the Church of God of God in the North District and the Church of the God of Artisans in the East District often accept used clothes from the Church of the God of War in the South District and the Church of the God of Commerce in the West District.
gift.
This also prevents poor families from having to worry about things like dressing up. This may also be a microcosm of the warm and affectionate feudal era.
And such a family with almost no savings is actually unable to face any accidents. Once someone gets sick, the family has no way of sending them to a doctor except for some local measures.
Fortunately, many local methods passed down from generation to generation still have their uses. In the thirteen years that Aisha has grown up in this family, she has only seen two younger siblings die young due to unexplained high fevers that persisted in childhood. Others
The seven younger siblings all survived smoothly or with little or no risk.
After breakfast, Aisha quickly left the West District by carriage and stopped at an alley at the junction of the East District and North District. Knowing her family's habits, Aisha directly opened the door and entered the house to see the family preparing to make breakfast - after the family got up at dawn
, the first thing to do is to fetch water and clean the house, and the focus is to clean up the unfinished work that I was busy with last night. Clear the table, and then make breakfast and eat.
So the family saw Elsa in a gorgeous dress come in and said, "Since you haven't eaten yet, let's go out to eat in the morning. I have money here. Let's go, let's talk to the others while they eat."
This era is not yet an era of numerous restaurants. Those who can open a restaurant must first ensure that the food is delicious, and then try to improve their taste according to the area they are in, so that people feel that eating here is a good thing.
After finishing the meal, tell me something that will help you gain face.
Another meaning of going upscale is hurting your wallet.
Therefore, even in this area at the junction of the North District and the East District, it is definitely not cheap to go to restaurants. However, that is not cheap for the income of the former ISA worker families.
Aisha and her family arrived at a restaurant that they had passed by countless times before but never dared to go in. Although the waiter at the door wanted to stop the people behind him so as not to lower the taste of his restaurant, the one at the front saw that he was wearing
She knew she couldn't offend her because of her posture - Aisha's collar was made of a gold and ruby button, so she simply invited the whole family in.
A family of ten sat at a big table, and Aisha asked: "What do you recommend for breakfast?"
Waiter: "Our recommended breakfast today is a piece of buttery white bread, boiled milk, sugar and a large cup of Earl Gray tea, a fried sausage, a secret stewed veal, and a lettuce and soybean sauce salad. This secret recipe
The veal stew started last night."
Aisha: "Just do this and get ten cents."
Waiter: "Okay, ma'am."
After the waiter went down, Aisha said, "Actually, I've already eaten. You guys can help me eat my portion later."
Then Aisha added without waiting for her family to react: "Now I am quite popular in Master Panyao's family. My second sister, Christina, will go back to Master Panyao's house with me today, and we will start as a second-class maid."
Finally, Aisha added: "Don't worry, Master Panyao's servant meals are better than those in most middle-class families."
Aisha's mother: "Don't just think about your sister. Your father is a foundry worker. It's best to give your father a better job through Master Panyao."
Elsa's father: "Ahem."
Aisha: "I know, but Mr. Pan Yao's family is in the jewelry business, and it is not related to casting for the time being. Look at my maid dresses with ruby buttons, there are three sets every season. Many young ladies from small and medium-sized business families in the West District also have
I don’t have the rubies to make buttons.”
The sister next to Aisha wanted to touch Aisha's dress, but she didn't dare. If a fingerprint was printed on it, she would wash it immediately. I was in the laundry business, and I completely understood that this dress would need to be washed.
Before washing, you need to remove the gold buttons with rubies, wash and iron them, and then sew the ruby buttons back on.
The formal attire of a lady from a wealthy family (from my sister's point of view, a family of lawyers, doctors, and civil servants) is nothing more than this. In Master Panyao's house, it's just a maid's outfit. Of course, it's a first-class maid's outfit.
Sure enough, the saying that a servant's clothes are the face of his master is unmistakable.
After exchanging a few words with my mother, fried sausages were served as an appetizer, and the family immediately stopped talking. This high-end restaurant must pay attention to taste, so the portion must not be large. Each person has about 200 grams of fried sausages.
Aisha took a symbolic bite of the fried sausage and tasted it. She felt that it was no different from the fried sausage in the servant's meal at home. The rest was given to her eldest brother.
What followed was boiled milk with sugar and Earl Gray black tea. Elsa didn't plan to share it out. She took a sip and felt it was okay. At least Master Panyao drinks tea without milk or sugar, and drinks milk without tea leaves.
As a geologist, drinking tea is to supplement vitamins, refresh yourself and digest food. Anything that adds sugar or milk is heresy.
Immediately afterwards, buttery white bread, lettuce salad, and secret veal stew were all served, one for each person, exquisite and delicious. Elsa tasted a little of everything except the white bread, and then shared it with her younger siblings. The buttery white bread was packed away by her father.
Took it away for lunch.
Seeing that the family was really adding to their plates, Aisha was a little speechless. Fortunately, there were few customers at this time, otherwise the restaurant would really kick away the customers.
The waiter and manager didn't want to cause trouble. After all, looking at the way Elsa was dressed, she was not someone to be trifled with.
After Aisha gave the last half cup of milk tea to her younger brother, she called the waiter: "Check out."
Waiter: "Breakfast is two silver coins for one portion and one gold coin for ten portions."
Elsa took out a gold coin and a silver coin from her purse: "The rest is a tip."
"Thank you for coming to our store." However, the waiter's voice at this time was, please don't come here again, at least not for meals.
The family left the restaurant with full stomachs. Her father had to go to work and would leave immediately. There was also a lot of work at home, and Aisha simply didn’t go home. Anyway, she had stayed in the place for more than ten years, and she had only left this place less than three years ago.
After a few weeks, nothing would change. I kept two gold coins, and gave the remaining sixteen gold coins and nineteen silver coins to my mother for safekeeping, and then I took my sister Christina directly to the carriage and returned to the West District.
After bringing her sister Christina home, the first thing she did was to take her sister Christina to Miss Dai'er, who was in charge of people at home, to report. After seeing Christina, Miss Dai'er said: "Xiao Nizi has a good foundation, she won't last forever."
Be a second-class maid. However, let’s start with the second-class maid. You take her to take a bath first and then change into the clothes of the second-class maid at home. Then just hand her over to Mary."
"Yes, Miss Dale." Aisha said this, but what she was thinking in her heart was that I will definitely take her place in the future.
After most of the high-level members of the Little Knife Party were wiped out, there were more disputes among the underground forces in the West District. However, from the perspective of ordinary people, there were more fighting incidents in the warehouse district, and more underground power transactions were being negotiated.
Form is determining the future West End boss.
Of course, we will still have to play one or two games in order to rank one, two, three, and four, and it will probably be a big fight. But it will also be held in the warehouse area where there are relatively few spectators.
Originally, the boss of the East District Ax Party got the news that most of the top officials of the Little Knife Party were destroyed, and was planning to come to the West District to have a piece of cake, but was stopped by the upper-level forces of Maple Dew City.
The Ax Party began to take a secret route. The younger brother of the Ax Party boss publicly quit the Ax Party. With his own votes, he joined the Iron-Blooded Association in the West District, which was originally ranked third, and became the second-ranked member of the Iron-Blooded Association.
The leader will compete with the Potion Club, which was originally ranked second in the Western District.
Among them, the Iron Blood Club is a gang that extracts workers' income from the West District to maintain the organization, while the Potion Club is a gang that purchases herbal medicines, buying low and selling high. Because of its rich experience in herbalism, it almost monopolizes the sales of most of the Huanyang Herbs in Maple City.
Relying on this alone, it is able to overwhelm the Iron Blood Society in terms of financial resources, which relies on sucking the blood of workers. It sits in second place in the West District of Maple City.
Originally, the businesses of the two parties were different, so they could keep the same, but the legacy left by the Knife Party was too rich. Whoever swallowed it would become the next boss of the West District.
These two gangs are also forces that have been suppressed by the Little Knife Party for many years. They all know what it will be like to rise to the top in one step. The hope of turning a gang of hundreds of people into a gang of hundreds of people is just in front of us. This is a hope that has not been seen for many years.
, how could you not be tempted.
And because the sales of Huanyang Grass involve many wealthy people and even aristocratic families, after all, the demand for Huanyang Grass among men with kidney deficiency still exists very objectively. This allows the Potion Club to be able to get a little bit of it, just like the Little Knife Party.
News from the top.
The current situation is that basically no one in the upper echelons supports the outdated Little Knife Party, but most of them are optimistic about the emergence of the next West District boss. The Potion Club.
After all, the Potion Club is a business organization that sells medicine. It is better than the iron-blooded club that sucks the blood of workers. But the problem is that the Potion Club really has no fighting power. After all, everyone is just a medicine seller, and occasionally scares
It's okay to deal with herb collectors from out of town or alone. But when it comes to the enhanced version of the Iron Blood Society that dares to fight and fight, I'm not so confident.
Although in terms of financial resources and number of people, magic medicine will still have the upper hand now.
At home, Liu Yunyan studies the political situation, including the composition of the underground forces in Maple City.
After analyzing the existing information, Liu Yunyan asked: "Master, which side do you think will win?"
"what do you say?"
Liu Yunyan: "In terms of combat effectiveness, the Iron-Blooded Club is stronger. However, I'm still not optimistic about the Iron-Blooded Club."
Zhang Cheng nodded: "There is a saying that the person who can have the last laugh must be someone above. I also think that the Iron Blood Club will definitely be a widow this time!"
Liu Yunyan: "How?"
Zhang Cheng: “There’s no one up there!”
Liu Yunyan laughed so hard: "I hate it."
The final outcome of the Iron Blood Society was consistent with Liu Yunyan and Zhang Cheng's judgment. The two parties had been talking for a long time but could not reach an agreement, so they had to arrange a fight in the West District Warehouse. Both parties brought hundreds of people out, but as a result, during the battle, the potion would be like this.
A great knight suddenly appeared next to him, and almost with one person's power, he swept away more than a hundred people from the Iron Blood Society.
This made the originally confident Iron-Blooded Association have no choice but to knock out their teeth and swallow the bitter pill themselves. Fortunately, the great knight was also accurate in his attack, just knocking the person down. Finally, when the Sheriff came after hearing the news,
Chapter completed!
