Chapter 226: The Opening of the Mansion (First Update)
Mei Yixuan didn't care what others would think, anyway, sooner or later they would know their identity as a woman, so they went straight into the clean room. Then she replaced the bath water with space water, sprinkled it with her special essence, and soaked it in the water, so she didn't want to get up!
After soaking for two quarters of an hour, he got up, wrapped his gradually erect chest in a soft cloth, and changed into a light green peony-patterned fragrant cloud gauze robe indoors, before he walked out of the clean room and beckoned Bi Tao to comb her hair.
When Bi Tao was wiping her long black and smooth hair, Yuzhu also came in with a braised noodle in her hand.
The marinade is hand-rolled noodles, with shredded chicken, shiitake mushrooms, fungus, minced green onions, pepper oil pouring sauce, and coriander sprinkled on top, which makes you have an appetite when you look at it.
Mei Yixuan asked Bi Tao to loosen her hair into a bun on the top of her head, then sat at the table, picked up the noodles and tasted them, but she was immediately conquered by the light and fragrant taste of the noodles, and her appetite was immediately aroused, and she ate a bowl of noodles after a while.
Making lo mein may seem simple, but it is actually a great test of the chef's cooking skills. Moreover, lo mein is a northern noodle food, Guo is a southerner, Mei Yixuan deliberately asked to make lo mein, just to test whether Guo's cooking skills are really qualified.
After all, the three of their mother and daughter are all northerners, and they are used to eating northern food, if Guo can't even make lo mein, she will have to consider changing to a small kitchen steward. Even if the mother is used to eating light, pasta is essential every day.
Fortunately, Guo did not disappoint her, and also relieved her.
Seeing that Mei Yixuan finished eating, Yuzhu stepped forward to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, put them in the food box, and went out to hand them over to the second-class maid Xiaoyun.
Xiaoyun took the food box and carried it briskly to the small kitchen of the East Cross Courtyard.
After Mei Yixuan finished eating, he sat on the armchair on the right, wanting to take a break, and by the way, he also pondered when to pick up his mother and younger brother, when to go to look at the shop with you Huang Ren'an, and when to buy a Zhuangzi outside the city to plant medicinal herbs.
Seeing Mei Yixuan sitting on the armchair, Bi Tao immediately put a cup of slightly cooled warm tea on the coffee table in front of Mei Yixuan, and said, "Eldest son, please drink tea!"
Mei Yixuan picked up the green glazed lotus pattern tea cup, took a sip gently, only felt that the aroma was rich and the entrance was sweet, so he asked Bi Tao: "What kind of tea is this?" ”
Mei Yixuan rarely drinks tea in modern times, only knows that there is green tea, black tea, and what Tieguanyin, Maojian, Longjing, Pu'er tea and so on. She didn't know that Lu Baochun even bought tea this time.
She knew that there was no tea in the house, and she forgot to buy it, at least there was no tea on the purchase list.
She drank tea only to know that she had missed this item, she didn't have anything, it didn't matter if she drank tea or not, her mother Tong Hongying would definitely want to drink tea. Therefore, I was secretly a little grateful to Lu Baochun.
Bi Tao glanced at Mei Yixuan with some surprise, she didn't know about tea Mei Yixuan didn't know, so she looked at her a little nervously, but she still said honestly: "Tell the eldest prince, the slave maid found it in the tea jar when she made tea just now, and the slave maid doesn't know what kind of tea this is." ”
Mei Yixuan glanced at Bi Tao, and saw that she was a big girl, her age should be fourteen years old, and like Yuzhu, she was wearing a light green printed coarse cloth dress brought by herself, she looked quite beautiful, and the most important thing was sincerity, which was stronger than anything else. He nodded secretly and said, "Go down, I'll rest for a while." ”
Bi Tao and Yuzhu, who had been standing respectfully on the side without saying a word, bent their knees and answered "yes", and the two retreated.
Mei Yixuan looked at the backs of the two of them going out, and couldn't help but think to herself.
After this morning's observation, she found that Yuzhu was relatively calm and comprehensive, but it was a little dull. Bi Tao is honest, honest, diligent, relatively simple, and will not turn around. These two maids have their own strengths and weaknesses, but they have the most basic qualities, right minds, and decent people.
When I first chose them as big girls, it was because they had clear eyes, their hearts should not be bad, and they had their own strengths.
After inquiry, Kapok, Luokui, and Bitao all have the skill of combing their hair with one hand, and Snow Lotus, Ginkgo Fruit, and Yuzhu can all count, and all six of them can read and write. She will be very busy in the future, and the maids around her naturally hope to help her, even if she doesn't help, don't pull back.
Mei Yixuan thought about it and just wanted to go to the bed in the east room to lie down for a while, but Bi Tao said outside the door: "Eldest son, Steward Lu is here, it seems that something is wrong." ”
Mei Yixuan had no choice but to sit back in the armchair and said, "Let him come in!"
Lu Baochun opened the curtain of the door as he spoke, and walked in behind Bi Tao and Yuzhu, he bowed down and saluted Mei Yixuan: "The slave has seen the eldest prince!"
Mei Yixuan glanced at Lu Baochun and asked, "Manager Lu, is there anything wrong?"
Lu Baochun handed a note to Yuzhu next to him and said: "The eldest prince, this is the steward of the guard, sprinkler sweeping, kitchen, needlework, warehouse, purchasing, account room, flowers and plants arranged by the slaves. ”
These places are all very important places in the government, although places such as the treasury and the account office are still in vain, and there is nothing substantive to do, but sooner or later they must be set up.
Yuzhu took the note and respectfully handed it to Mei Yixuan.
Mei Yixuan took it and took a closer look, and found that these people were all promoted on the basis of their own arrangements, and there was not much change, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's arrange it according to the list you proposed." As he spoke, he handed the list to Yuzhu and said, "Put it away and keep it as a proof."
"Yes!" Yuzhu carefully took the note and put it in his personal purse.
Mei Yixuan looked at Lu Baochun, who was a little surprised, and said: "Steward Lu, our house is newly opened, everything is not on the right track, as a newly promoted steward, you should worry more about it, and remember to remind me of some things that I can't think of." There will be more things for me in the future, and I can't remember the names of so many new people, so I can only use stupid methods. “
Lu Baochun nodded in agreement, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, the eldest young master, the slave knows, if there is anything in the future, he must ask the eldest young master as soon as possible." ”
"Everyone is new here, and the clothes, shoes, socks, and monthly silver have not yet been distributed. Mei Yixuan said, took out five thousand taels of silver from his arms, and motioned for Yuzhu to hand it to Lu Baochun, "This is five thousand taels of silver, you count the height and size of all the people in the house, including how many children." Old lady, second young master and mine, you don't have to worry about it for now. The Yao family, the grandchildren of the Yang family, the maids, and the guards who have not yet come, you go and ask Zhang Yi and Feifeng, after the statistics, you take the people who bought them to the street, and buy two summer clothes for each person, including clothes, shoes, socks, and underwear, and some can't buy some cloth, and go back to the needlework room to do it. ”
