Approaching the end of the year, every household was busy preparing for the New Year, Li Qianqian and they were preparing to enter Huacheng, a small border city in the Northern Jin Dynasty, Gu Shifeng was familiar with the officers and soldiers guarding the city, he said a few words in the past, and let them enter the city.

Gu Shifeng walked around all the year round, and he knew Huacheng well, so he led them to the inn where he usually settled when he came to Huacheng.
The scale of the Yingfu Inn is far less than the Yunlai Inn in Tianshui Town, but it is definitely much better than most of the inns they have stayed in these days.
I booked a few upper and medium rooms with the shopkeeper, and everyone went back to their rooms to settle down.
Li Qianqian said to Liu Er, "There is a branch of the Lu Chamber of Commerce here, let people go and see it later, and send someone to send a letter to Miss Lu." ā
Liu Er nodded yes, after he was busy with the affairs of Tianshui Town, he caught up with Li Qianqian and them, but because he wanted to insert people into Zhao State, he was very busy all the way, and good things like Tianshui Town did not happen again, so when he installed people, he encountered many problems, but fortunately, he was strong enough, and he passed all the way and successfully installed people in Zhao State.
Liu Er went out to run errands, and as soon as Ye's mother arrived at the inn, she was not busy placing the cage first, but first found a small kitchen to make soup for everyone.
Chunjiang automatically and spontaneously took on the responsibility of the big girl, staring at everyone to place the things that Li Qianqian commonly uses, Li Qianqian followed Lan Tang to see Lan Hai's guest room, Li Shu made his own arrangements, and they didn't need to worry about it at all, but Lan Hai, the medicine maid waiting next to him was young after all, and their main job was not to take care of Lan Hai's life, so Lan Tang was always not at ease with her father.
Originally, I picked someone to wait closely, but then I didn't know how to annoy Lan Hai, so I was sent away, and now I am out of the house, and it is difficult to find someone to top, so I can only Lan Tang work hard by himself, and come over to stare at it from time to time.
The medicine workers welcomed this, and in this way, their workload was reduced a lot.
Yingfu Inn is not big, all the land that can be used is used to build guest rooms, so there is no garden, the canteen is very large, there is a box inside, if the guests in the room do not want to eat in the room, they can also go to the box to eat, if the guests in the general room want to use the box, in addition to adding money, but also to see whether the guests in the room use it.
Ye's mother wanted to use the small kitchen, and the shopkeeper saw that it was a friend of an acquaintance, and they booked a few rooms and guest rooms, without adding additional money, and the cook saw her coming, knowing that this was a distinguished guest, she was quite embarrassed.
A little maid next to her was very displeased, muttering in her mouth, in the kitchen, everyone was busy, no one paid attention to her, the little maid saw that no one paid attention to herself, and the muttering couldn't help but gradually increase, until everyone could clearly hear what she was muttering, but still no one paid attention to her.
The people in the kitchen are very busy! Who has time to pay attention to the little maid brought by the guest? The little maid complains and complains, and they won't bother with her because of this?
Seeing that everyone was ignoring her, the little maid walked up to Mother Ye angrily, and stared at her without speaking, who is Mother Ye, how can she be frightened by a little maid.
Doing her own thing, turning a blind eye to the little maid, the little maid died of grievances, her wife has been the daughter of the family since she was a child, after getting married, everyone in her mother-in-law's house is also holding it, she followed her wife from her mother's house to her mother-in-law's house, all the way was smooth, and she was ignored like this.
Thinking of the grievances, tears fell down suddenly, usually if she was in the house, someone would have rushed up to stand up for her, but she forgot, this is an inn, and the cook didn't drive out her, the idler who occupies the position, it is for the sake of her wife who is a guest in the upper room!
Mother Ye put the small pot containing medicinal herbs on the small stove, and chatted with a cook surnamed Chu next to her, only to find out that it was a folk, and it was rare to meet a fellow countryman, so she had something to talk about, but it was all hometown dialect, and there were few people in the kitchen who could understand it.
Chef Chu is the chef of this kitchen, everyone has to listen to her command, and when she meets a fellow countryman, everyone can also understand one or two, and it is not a big deal, so they don't ask her to come here.
Mother Ye and Chef Chu chatted very happily, looking at the little girl they were chatting energetically, the mood was very unbeautiful, her wife said that she wanted to drink chicken soup, let her come to the kitchen to ask, the chicken soup in the kitchen is ready-made, but after she brought it back, Mrs. said that it had a strange smell, saying that it was boiled the night before, and asked her to come again, to boil it freshly.
When she came back to talk about it, the cook didn't talk nonsense, just told her to wait.
But she waited and waited, but she didn't wait for chicken soup.
But when a privileged woman came, the cook politely greeted her, gave her a few small tandoors, and gave her several chickens for her to make soup.
It's really annoying! Obviously, she came first, but the little maid couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at the medicinal herbs that Mother Ye put into the pot, and couldn't see that this humble old mother was really rich! Seeing that she had so many tanstoves at hand, she thought, I'll wait for her to boil it later, and grab a pot from her.
Anyway, she has money, and she is not bad for such a pot!
The little maid didn't know that Mother Ye used all the ingredients that were paid separately, and her wife didn't pay separately, she had already given her a bowl of chicken soup.
And her wife is pregnant, so you can't drink the chicken soup with medicinal herbs casually!
The little maid waited and waited, and felt tired, so she sat down and fell asleep with her little head nodding.
A burst of fragrance continued to hit her nose, the little maid opened her eyes, looked around, and saw that everyone was doing their jobs, and the cook who was chatting with the old mother disappeared at some point, and even the old mother was gone.
She jumped up, rushed to the little tandoor, lifted the lid and looked at it, it was so fragrant! Why was it so fragrant? It was completely different from the smell of chicken soup she usually smelled!
"Hey, get me a food box. "If she takes the small pot out like this, she will definitely be tired to death, so she won't do it!
The people in the kitchen heard her request and turned their heads to look at Chef Chu, who was actually in the kitchen all the time, just standing in the corner, and the little maid didn't see her.
"Give it to her!"
Immediately, a mother-in-law brought a food box to her, but the little maid did not take it, and instructed the mother-in-law to help her put the pot on the small tandoor into it.
"This can't be done! You have to put another bowl, or the food box won't fit. The mother-in-law looked at the little maid as if she was looking at a fool, such an obvious problem still needs to be told, this girl is useless, right?
"Then hurry up!" the little maid looked around, a little afraid that the old mother who was boiling soup would suddenly appear.
The mother-in-law snorted coldly, took a big bowl of red carp with a white background, and put a bowl into it with quick movements, and the little maid saw that she had loaded it, reached out and took the food box, and walked away with her head proud.
Seeing her gone, the people in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief, but they finally left.
Chef Chu turned her head and thanked Mother Ye who was sitting behind her, but, "You divide the soup, your master knows about it, won't he be angry with you?"
"No, it won't. Mother Ye smiled and bent her eyes to comfort her. "My master is not a stingy person. ā
"That's good. "Chef Chu saw that the medicinal materials that Mother Ye put into the pot were all high-end medicinal materials.
Mother Ye didn't tell Chu Chef Niang, in fact, those chicken soups still have to be boiled for another hour, how long has it been, and the effect of the medicine has not yet fully come out!
The little maid carried the food box and returned to the upper room, and the big girl waiting at the door saw that she was late, and after taking the food box, she couldn't help but scold, and scolded the little girl so aggrieved that she was in tears, and she looked pitiful.
When the other big maid heard the commotion, she came out to inspect it, and when she saw this, she stepped forward and said, "All right, get the chicken soup in quickly! ā
The scolding big girl then closed her voice and went into the house with a food box, while the other big girl counted the little girl softly.
"You too, how did it take so long to go to the kitchen, don't blame you Sister Fangfang for scolding you. ā
"Sister Yifang, I really didn't mean it, the people in the kitchen were not good, they didn't give it to me, and they didn't say anything to boil on the stove, so they had to wait. ā
When the big girl named Yifang heard this, she frowned, and the people in the kitchen said that it was only boiled on the stove, how long has it been, why does this girl have chicken soup to take?
Hearing Yi Fang's question, the little maid raised her chin proudly, "It's not that I'm smart, the people in the kitchen are really bad, obviously I went first, but they ignored me, but they flattered an old mother, and gave her a few small mud stoves to cook soup, I saw that she put a lot of medicinal herbs in the pot, and then I waited for a long time until I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I smelled the chicken soup on her stove so strong, I asked people to help me fill a bowl back." ā
When Yi Fang heard this, it was broken! She didn't care to talk to the little maid anymore, so she hurriedly turned around and went back to the house, and saw Fang Fang scooping chicken soup from the big bowl of the food box into the small bowl.
"Madam, you can't drink. ā
"What's the matter?" the young woman, who was about in her early twenties, looked at her with displeasure, and Yi Fang hurriedly said the little maid's words, and the lady said angrily, "That greedy guy, go, go open the cage, and take fifty taels of silver to reward the old mother who boiled chicken soup." ā
"Yes. Yi Fang responded, still uneasy and said to the young woman, "Madam, don't drink this chicken soup, and I don't know what is in this soup!"
"Yes, yes. ā
The young woman waved her hand impatiently and sent her away, and Yi Fang took the silver, and when she walked out of the door, she took the little maid away.
Fangfang sighed in the room and closed the lid of the food box, "Madam, I'll take this soup and pour it." ā
"No, you and Yi Fang will drink together!"
"Mrs. Xie's reward. Fang Fangfu thanked her, but she was sad for her own young lady, and finally conceived a child, but because she was afraid that someone in the house would murder her, she said that she wanted to go back to her mother's house to take the opportunity to leave the house.
"When I give birth to a son, see who of them dares to step on me. ā
"Miss, do we really want to go back to Qingcui Villa?" Fang Fang asked.
The young woman looked back at her, her eyes fluttering, "Return, why don't you go back, where is my maiden home!"
But the eldest lord and the young owner ......
"They are short-sighted, are you just like them?" Xiu Zining glanced at Fang Fang, Fang Fang was shocked, and lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.
Xiu Zining snorted coldly, "Isn't there any news from Xiu Zijing?"
"Found it, found it, in Lingyun Villa. ā
"I said, I went to my aunt's house to play! Okay, she! Send someone to pick her up, and when I get back to my mother's house, I want to see her waiting at home. ā
