Chapter 360: Chinese New Year's Eve (Part I)

Because she failed twice in a row in stir-frying, Zhang Wan'er didn't control her temper and got angry, of course, today is not as good as before, and she just suppressed her temper and complained a few words.

But even with her attitude, the supervisor standing next to her, a grandmother beside Old Madam Lin, still said in a calm voice, "Young Madame is angry, the old lady must eat your fried dish, this dish is not qualified at the moment, so you better fry it again." ”

"Stir-fry, what about the greens?" Hearing this calm voice, Zhang Wan'er only became more angry, trying to suppress her crazy emotions, but turned her head to find that the main dish of fried vegetables was gone.

"It's already been used by you, please wash your own vegetables." Siping continued.

"On such a cold day, let me wash the vegetables in cold water!?" Zhang Wan'er's voice was an octave higher.

What are you kidding, how can her well-maintained hands do such a thing, what if she thickens her fair and delicate hands? Just stir-fry a dish, that is, it takes a little work, and it is just smoked by oil, if your hands are rough, it is not easy to maintain it. Besides, there are two of them, if you wash the vegetables today, do you want to wash them tomorrow? Will it be the day after tomorrow, the old witch surnamed Lin will also hand over the washing of vegetables to herself.

However, if you don't wash it, what will you use to stir-fry? Zhang Wan'er looked at her meticulous maintenance, white and tender as a child's hand, and hesitated.

Lin Yu and Qingqing of the Qi Palace's Mansion naturally don't know what she is tangle with now, and they won't care if they know it, which of the two of them hasn't washed vegetables and clothes in cold water? It's not a fairy jade beauty, where is it so delicate.

The two talked a few words of gossip in the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion. When it was time for the feast, he stopped the topic and turned his attention to the feast itself.

Lin Yu has also seen many luxurious mansions. But the palace of Qi is the prince's mansion after all, and the luxury has another taste, the whole house is hung with lights, the snow is bright, and the room is like daylight, and the pearl and emerald on the head of the female dependents are even more dazzling. A stage was set up on the opposite side of the lobby. After a while, I think there should be singing, dancing, music, and opera performances. And at this moment, the hall is full of people, and it is quite lively. After all, although the number of people at the moment is not very large, it is not small.

The banquet is the beginning, King Qi as the head of the family, the respect of the prince. A few auspicious words were spoken. Then the people below performed, and everyone stepped forward to congratulate him and said a string of auspicious words. Seeing that both children and grandchildren are full, Rao is King Qi has always been calm and elegant, and he also has a smile on his face.

Whether it is status or age, Lin Yu is ranked last. stepped forward to toast and congratulate the New Year. King Qi also gave Lin Yu a lot of face and drank a small glass of wine. Then there are the grandchildren of King Qi, his eldest eldest grandson is fifteen years old, only one year younger than Lin Yu's current age, in ancient times, he was almost an adult, and his eldest granddaughter was also fourteen years old, and she was about to say goodbye.

King Qi's five sons, a total of more than a dozen grandchildren, not to mention the younger ones, the older ones also stepped forward to toast, he didn't drink so much this time, just took a sip gently. Even so, he drank eleven or twelve glasses of wine, but fortunately, he drank rice wine, not strong wine, and King Qi drank well, only a slight feeling.

Lin Yu took a closer look at Qingqing's nephews and nieces, who were also her nominal nephews and nieces, but a few of them looked really good. After all, Lin Yu does not officially belong to this mansion, and he is not very familiar with these half-grown children, but Qingqing is different, and he is very familiar with several half-grown children. At this time, everyone who should have toasted was toasted, and several children came over to talk to Qingqing.

"Auntie, I haven't toasted you yet, and little aunt, I haven't met you a few times, do you know my name?" The leader was a boy as beautiful as white jade, with dark eyes and handsome eyebrows, about twelve or thirteen years old.

"Why don't you remember, it's Xiao Xuan, right?" Lin Yu laughed, this is the eldest son of the third son of King Qi, with a lively personality, smart and clever, Lin Yu heard Qingqing mention it many times.

Lin Yu looked at Yu Wenxuan with a smile, but he didn't expect the kid to answer, and turned to the brothers and sisters behind him, "I said that the little aunt remembered my name, you still don't believe it." ”

"I remember all your names, after all, I'm also an elder of other people's aunts now." Lin Yu said with a smile, how could he not even recognize people by being famous in the Qi Palace.

A girl who laughed a little sly immediately laughed, "Since you are an elder, then you will definitely give us New Year's money, I have heard about it a long time ago, little aunt, you are a rich man, and you are very rich." ”

"I can't say that the rich man is big, but the red envelopes are indispensable to you, so don't worry." Lin Yu didn't feel sorry for this little money, she had prepared a purse before, each of which contained a gold and a silver coin, and there were twenty taels of silver in it, which was not a small amount for these children.

King Qi is very strict in governing the family, in order to avoid the appearance of unlearned and unskilled, the children's pocket money is not very much. In fact, silver is still very valuable, Jia Baoyu is the grandson of the Guogong Mansion, and the monthly example of one month is two taels of silver. There are still more monthly cases in the palace, each prince and grandson of the Qi palace has five taels of silver, and several little princes and wives have ten taels per month. Of course, normal daily expenses can go to the account office to pay money, but don't think that you can spend a lot, and don't think about unreasonable requests.

If you want to be generous, you can have plenty of money when you are outside, for example, Lin Yu and Qingqing have their own industries, and this money is not included in the internal account, no matter how you spend it, no one will care about you. However, if you want to buy a property, it is not so easy, because the palace will not provide you with capital, and if you want to rely on the palace to make a fortune, it will not work at all, if you don't want to be broken by King Qi.

Therefore, Qingqing's brothers are not particularly rich in money, and the third child has a lot of money, and his annual income is about the same as Qingqing's on the surface, but he has a wife, three concubines, three sons and two daughters, and he has to support his subordinates and win over people who can use it. And Qingqing's income is not as good as Lin Yu, compared to these people, he is rich.

Qingqing knows her nephews and nieces very well, and after glancing at those children, she said with a smile, "Don't pay attention to them, these children have already made up your mind, this is a partnership to squeeze you, and I want you to bleed once." ”

Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm willing, but don't have too much hope, it won't be much, and you can't get into the habit of spending money indiscriminately." ”

"Wow, little aunt, you're so nice." The girl who smiled like a little fox immediately said, "I fell in love with a bamboo carving last time, but it cost twelve taels of silver, so I can buy it now." ”

With Lin Yu's assurance, the children did not entangle at this table, but returned to their own table, and immediately chattered and discussed as soon as they sat down. This one wants to buy that, that one wants to save some money, that one buys that, and there are those who want to hurry up and buy a few new books.

Lin Yu looked at their innocent faces and couldn't help but smile, "It's good to be young, I feel very energetic when I look at it." ”

"You seem to be very old, and Yuelan, who just spoke, is only two years younger than you." Qingqing glanced at her, and sighed softly, "These children say they are smart, but in fact, they haven't seen anything, even if they are a little smart, they are also clever." It's not as good as you, after a lot of things, it's not so naΓ―ve, but a bit of a teenager and an old man. ”

Lin Yu can't say that his psychological age is actually not young, but to say that he really matured, it was also after he suddenly came to this ancient world. She had been studying before, and in her own world, there were far fewer things to take into account, no better than here, step by step, although it looked smooth now, but many things at that time, if not handled well, may not be where it is today.

Lin Yu thought silently, holding the wine and drinking it in one sip. Qingqing saw her silent, and felt a little speechless, after all, many of the things Lin Yu had experienced before were really not pleasant, and when she thought about it at this time, she might not be in a relaxed mood. So she immediately said that the banquet was coming, because Qingqing changed the topic and led Lin Yu to speak, Lin Yu was not good at immersing herself in her thoughts for too long, and began to evaluate the dishes of this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner along Qingqing's topic.

Because she was the daughter of a chef in her previous life, she became the owner of a big restaurant in this life, and she is talented, Lin Yu's level in this area is really good, and Qingqing nodded again and again. Although Qingqing has special skills in flavoring and making spices, and is also quite accomplished in calligraphy, and can draw two strokes, she is far inferior to Lin Yu in cooking.

Although it is not to the point of being a kitchen killer and dark cuisine, that is, to be able to cook a rice and porridge, and beat an egg in the next clear water noodle, the premise is that this noodle is not something she can make yet, because Qingqing can't make noodles, let alone roll noodles.

Fortunately, with her net worth and identity, it is estimated that she will not have to go to the kitchen in the future, and no one will find fault with her cooking skills, anyway, there are cooks to cook. Although the chefs of the Qi Wangfu are not as fine as Lan Yuan, let alone the superb skills of the chefs in Lin Yu Restaurant, because of the relationship between the King of Qi and the emperor, they are in the same vein as the imperial chef and are also very distinctive.

Lin Yu tasted it carefully, while thinking about how to improve the high-end dishes he launched, these dishes flowing out of the palace are still very useful. She was slightly distracted when she heard Qingqing's somewhat excited words.

"But the long wait has come out, didn't you say last time that you wanted to listen to the singing voice of the first singer in the capital? She's here today, too, and I don't know what song I'll sing later. (To be continued......)
