Chapter 209: Arrangement (1)
Since Saitama agreed to invite the eldest princess, she didn't dare to slack off, and personally visited the eldest princess early the next morning. The eldest princess was enlightened by Saitama back then, and she was very fond of her for a few days. But since Saitama got married, because of a series of things that happened in the palace, King Rong took his mother to Jiangnan in order to avoid suspicion, so Saitama hadn't seen the eldest princess for many years.
The two met for a while, the eldest princess lived outside for a few days, and her temperament changed a little compared to the original. Saitama achieved his goal, because he still thought about something, so he didn't dare to sit down, so he took his leave and left.
Saitama returned to the house, thinking that the guests had already been decided, and the next step was to prepare the menu and prepare the ingredients. The housekeeper in the kitchen is the daughter-in-law of Lian's side, an absolute cronie, if this matter is directly assigned to her, it will inevitably stumble on herself, so Saitama decided to find another way.
Saitama ordered someone to call the kitchen steward to his yard along with a few mothers who had some heads. She doesn't believe that this mansion is a monolith, only the name of the Lian clan is followed, there are always some people who can use it, after all, this mansion will still be handed over to their husband and wife in the future, I believe everyone will weigh it.
Saitama was not wrong, except for a few cronies of the Lian family, many subordinates in the mansion actually knew that sooner or later it would be Li Yi and his wife who would be in power, but because of the majesty of the Lian family for many years, everyone didn't dare to show how obvious it was. When several mothers in the kitchen heard the summons of Mrs. Shizi, their hearts were mixed, and they were happy that Mrs. Shizi had always used to bring people she brought, and this time she finally had an opportunity to show her loyalty like Mrs. Shizi, and she was worried that she would please Mrs. Shizi, and it was inevitable to offend Mrs. Guogong. Therefore, everyone went to Saitama's courtyard with the idea of taking a look first and then talking about it, and never making a bird.
When Saitama came out with Autumn Frost and Magpie, there were already many people standing under the steps in the hall, all whispering. As soon as everyone saw Saitama coming out, they stopped talking and saluted Saitama. Saitama bowed slightly. Sit down. The little girl put the tea on it, Saitama picked up the cup, took a sip, and slowly put it on the small table beside her. She paused for a moment, raised her head and looked around at the people below. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a man enter the hall, and the people below got out of the way and made a way.
Saitama looked at it as the daughter-in-law of Liu Chun, the housekeeper of the kitchen. I saw her walk to the edge of the steps and bow vainly.
"Meet Mrs. Shiko. The slave maid was summoned by the Duchess of the Kingdom, so she was late, and asked the Lady of the Prince for forgiveness. Liu Chun's daughter-in-law didn't have any regret on her face, she was the daughter-in-law of Lian's mother, and with such a backer, where would she put Saitama in her eyes.
Saitama looked at her and was annoyed in her heart, but she didn't show a little on her face, but said with a smile:
"Since the eldest aunt summoned Sister-in-law Liu, how can I blame it?" Sister-in-law Liu didn't thank her, but just stood sideways. Saitama didn't want to worry about her either. Said:
"The time for the banquet has been set for the sixth day of the next month, and now we need to draw up the menu first. I'm calling you here today because I'm not familiar with the process in the kitchen, so it's better to discuss it together. As soon as Saitama finished speaking, he heard Sister-in-law Liu take a half step forward and said with a smile:
"Mrs. Shizi has just started to manage the house, but she is indeed not familiar with the things in our kitchen, and I have always drawn up the things about your menu with a few people, and then presented them to the master for purpose. Now that I have called these people, I can discuss something. She implied that Saitama didn't know anything.
Saitama's face sank and he picked up the tea bowl next to him. glanced at Que'er, only to hear Que'er say:
"Sister-in-law Liu is an old man in the house, and she is naturally very familiar with the rules of the house, and Que'er doesn't know anything. I don't know if I can ask Sister-in-law Liu for advice?" Que'er was innocent, and this Sister-in-law Liu didn't doubt it, so she said:
"The girl has to ask directly. Sister-in-law Liu looked at Que'er with a proud face.
"This master didn't ask, as a slave, can you talk casually?" After Que'er's words were finished, Sister-in-law Liu knew that there was a set waiting for her here, and she was angry and not easy to attack. Only the face was red. The other people in the kitchen saw that Sister-in-law Liu had suffered such a loss, and they were full of joy when they had a dislike for her on weekdays, and they were happy with her and were unhappy for her in their hearts. Saitama achieved her goal and pretended to reprimand:
"Que'er, don't you make any compensation to Sister-in-law Liu, how can Sister-in-law Liu be arranged?" Que'er knew what Saitama meant, so she bowed down to Sister-in-law Liu. Sister-in-law Liu couldn't count Saitama's girl in front of Saitama, so she could only swallow this breath.
Saitama saw the faces of the people below in her eyes, and already knew in her heart that those were the henchmen of the Liu family, and those who were not dealing with her, so she decided to say what she thought.
"The sister-in-law of the Liu family has some sense, but I think that since the eldest aunt gave me this errand, I must do it with all my heart, so it should be a little different from previous years. Speaking of this, Saitama paused for a moment to see the reactions of the people below, and sure enough, some were dismissive, and some were secretly expecting.
"Actually, it's very simple to say, the menu is always set in advance, and you don't necessarily have the opportunity to make your own specialty dishes, so I thought this time everyone would write out their own specialties first, and the menu would be set from here. What do you think?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts were alive, this is a good opportunity to get ahead, only Sister-in-law Liu was uncomfortable, she didn't expect Saitama to come to such a move, this is not an obvious intention to set her up, and Lian's order to do things will have no chance at all. So she gave a salute to Saitama,
"Mrs. Shizi, the slave maid thinks that this is a little inappropriate. ”
"Oh, what's wrong?" Saitama knew that Sister-in-law Liu would definitely not follow her wish like this.
"The people in the kitchen have always been only in charge of cooking, and this proposed menu can be learned, where do they know the truth of those combinations?"
"Of course, I know this, so this menu is not for Sister-in-law Liu to check in the end, if there is anything inappropriate for the dishes, I will ask Sister-in-law Liu for your trouble!" Saitama said half-seriously and half-jokingly.
Sister-in-law Liu began to think that Saitama was going to put her in the air, but she didn't expect to press this errand for her, although Saitama's words sounded like a joke, but when the time comes, if there is a bad pool, it is inevitable that she will not find trouble for herself. Her mind was chaotic, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, and the words that Lian taught her didn't seem to be useful at all.
Saitama smiled secretly when she saw her, and said to everyone:
"If you don't have any opinions, let's do it. Next, everyone wrote down their specialty dishes and the ingredients to be used, and handed them to me, and I discussed the menu with Sister-in-law Liu. ”
After Saitama finished speaking, he instructed Qiushuang to prepare pen and ink, but he heard a loud voice sound,
"Mrs. Shiko, the slaves and maids can't write, but what should I do?" Saitama said with a smile when she saw that it was a chubby middle-aged woman:
"It's me who didn't think about it, it doesn't matter, you said I let the girl write it. When Saitama came, she brought the newly selected girl who could write, Bikusa, and ordered her to transcribe what everyone in the kitchen had said.
Sister-in-law Liu was called by Lian before she came, and Lian asked her to give Saitama a dismissal. Sister-in-law Liu thought that this matter was very simple, how could such a woman from a small family know how to prepare the menu for the guests of Xungui's house, not to mention the proposed menu, I am afraid that I have not even heard of some dish names, and I have to rely on myself. Who knew that Saitama came to this show, and he simply said that he was excluded, and even made himself responsible.
Sister-in-law Liu knew in her heart that not everyone in the kitchen had the same heart as herself, and there were few people rushing up to greet Saiyu like this, just like the daughter-in-law of Shen Quan who asked just now, relying on her father-in-law to be the person of the country, and she had always been at odds with herself. I have to quickly report the situation here to the Lian family and think of a countermeasure to avoid losing my position.
The change in Sister-in-law Liu's face did not escape Saitama's eyes. Saitama secretly sighed that he didn't want to get caught up in the struggle of this back house, but there were always people who looked at him unpleasantly, and every time he provoked trouble, it was not easy for people to live peacefully and quietly, and the days in Shandong at that time were really like gods when I think about it now.
Saitama instructed Qiushuang a few words, leaving her here to watch, and went back first. Saitama took Que'er to Shi's courtyard and wanted to see Brother Tong'er. Since the last birth, the relationship between Shi and Saitama has fallen to a low point, but Saitama still stays calm every day as usual, and despite being reluctant to Saitama, he often leaves Kirita by Shi's side, hoping to ease the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
After Saitama met Shi, he went to the back hall to see his son. Brother Tong was naturally happy when he saw his mother, tied his hands, and babbled something. Saitama stepped forward quickly, took his son into his arms, and kissed him a few times. Brother Tong is very strong, and his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Li Yi.
"How is the little young master's meal?" Saitama asked the nurse while watching Brother Tong play.
"It's good to eat, just had lunch, let him play for a while and then sleep, so that there will be no accumulation of food. Saitama listened to the nurse's words and nodded with satisfaction.
As soon as Brother Tong saw that his mother ignored him and talked to the nurse, he was not happy, stretched out his fat hand, and tugged at Saitama's sleeve. Saitama smiled and hugged Brother Tong into his arms,
"This guy is quite strong. ”
Saitama coaxed Brother Tong to sleep, and after not daring to delay bidding farewell to Shi, he hurried back to his courtyard to be busy with the banquet. (To be continued.) )
