Chapter 174: Old Servant
It is true that silkworms begin to spin silk in spring, but those merchants will not wait until the new cocoons are on the market to start weaving, if so, wouldn't those noble ladies have to wear old materials all spring?
Ye Jinhui disagreed with Chu Li's words, but he wisely did not refute Chu Li, "What should I do according to Senior Brother's meaning?" ”
Chu Li said slowly: "It depends on when the sky is clear." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
He is often so ambiguous, neither saying that he will leave nor that he will not leave, and such snow will not leave any traces in the river at all, and he really can't figure out what to do with their inability to leave Hangzhou.
"The weather doesn't seem to affect the boat. Is the senior brother cowardly and doesn't want to go back to Jinling? ”
She remembered that her grandfather had inadvertently mentioned that Chu Li's ancestral home was in Jinling.
Chu Li snorted coldly, "I prefer Hangzhou, Jinling only has ancestral houses and sacrificial fields." ”
In other words, it's not that I don't want to go back to my hometown.
But Chu Li's mind was so deep that Ye Jinhui didn't want him to misunderstand that she was inquiring into his private affairs, so he didn't care much about "oh" and began to pay attention to the scenery outside.
The carriage has arrived at the West Lake.
Instead of wasting effort with Chu Li, it is better to watch the scenery quietly for a while.
The West Lake in the light snow is breathtakingly beautiful.
"Over there in Jinling, they are all old mansions, and children are easy to bump into customers." Unexpectedly, Chu Li came up with such a sentence.
Ye Jinhui glanced at him in surprise, but found that his face was a little soft.
Someone like him who also knows how to care about people?
"Orchid Garden is specially looking for someone to see feng shui, you stay for a few days a year, you can ensure that you have no worries for the rest of your life."
Ye Jinhui's phoenix eyes widened when he heard this, and he pointed to his nose for a long time and said, "Senior brother's words are for me?" ”
Chu Li raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that you think I'm talking to myself?" It's only for your grandfather's sake that he promised me a lot of good. ”
Did her grandfather find someone to tell her fortune?
But his old man had never revealed this matter to him, and now that Chu Li had the audacity to mention it, it was too unbelievable.
Chu Li glanced at Ye Jinhui, "He said that you talked in your dreams and cried when you were sleeping, so he really didn't feel at ease, so he specially invited a feng shui master to come to see it." ”
If this is the case, why didn't Chu Li mention it when he was on the boat?
"The cactus on the wall of the courtyard of the Orchid Garden can dissolve evil." Chu Li explained lightly.
Ye Jinhui seems to have vaguely heard the saying that the cactus will turn into evil, if it is really what Old Man Ye meant, she can only abide by it, "If Senior Brother had told me earlier, I would not have bought so much Hangzhou silk and put it on the boat." ”
Chu Li: "You should ask me first." ”
Yip Kam-fai: ......
Before you know it, it's noon.
This time, without waiting for Ye Jinhui to cry out that she was hungry, Chu Li had already brought her to an unusually gorgeous restaurant.
The name is also called Drunken Immortal Fang.
"This restaurant is also owned by my senior brother?"
Chu Li didn't answer her at all, but got out of the carriage first.
Fortunately, stepping out of the carriage, it is the high steps of the restaurant, so you don't have to worry about dirty clothes.
When he saw the menu, Ye Jinhui realized that what he said just now was superfluous, because the dishes of Quanzhou Zuixianlou are also here, and the dishes here seem to be more in line with her taste than those in Quanzhou.
"The chefs here are so skilled, it would be nice if I could pick one of them out and cook in the orchid garden." Ye Jinhui said unintentionally.
"Well, I'll give you a cheaper calculation, ten taels of silver a day."
"Ten taels of silver, I can ask them to send me food and send it to leave Hangzhou."
Before she came, she had studied the accounts in the Ye family's kitchen, ten wen for an egg, eight wen for a pound of cabbage, sixty wen for a pound of mutton, and thirty-five wen for a pound of pork......
According to this algorithm, she can eat thirty taels of silver alone for a year!
"But if this chef of mine stays in Zuixianfang, he will have to open at least thirty taels of silver a day."
Ye Jinhui: "I really don't understand what the purpose of my senior brother is to make so much money. ”
Do I just want to eat? Aren't you going to eat yourself?
Chu Li: "Do you really want this chef from the Drunken Immortal Fang to cook for you?" ”
Ye Jinhui was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of a possibility, "Could it be that the chef here is Angelica Bai?" ”
Chu Li nodded, "She has changed her name now, her name is Chu Rong." ”
Ye Jinhui: "Then I want to congratulate her." ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw a white and chubby girl come in with a dish, put the dish on the table first, and then saluted: "Slave Bai Zhi, I have seen the girl." ”
Ye Jinhui didn't associate the weak willow and wind-supporting Bai Zhi in the impression with the fat girl in front of him, and it took a long time before he said: "It seems that you are doing well here, and you can only be fat if you have a wide heart." ”
Bai Zhi's demeanor was indescribably deferential, "Slave, thank you, girl." ”
Ye Jinhui couldn't help but think of it again, this Bai Zhi's deed of sale was still with the old lady Yang.
"When I come next time, I'll bring you your deed of sale." The old lady is already eating fasting and chanting Buddha at home, so she must not care too much about a girl's deed of sale.
Didn't Bai Zhi like Chu Li very much before? How did you eat yourself into a big fat man?
Although Ye Jinhui had doubts in his heart, he didn't want to ask this question in front of Chu Li at that time, so he only said: "I haven't eaten your dishes for a long time, I miss it a lot." ”
Bai Zhi immediately showed a happy face, "If the girl doesn't dislike it, the slave is willing to make it for the girl every day." ”
Ye Jinhui: "It's okay, I still live with Gongzi Chu." ”
Bai Zhi left with a thousand thanks.
Chu Li glanced at Ye Jinhui, "Why did you give her to me?" ”
Ye Jinhui naturally wouldn't tell him that Old Man Ye found out that Bai Zhi was Chu Mei's person, but said: "At that time, Senior Brother happened to be short of people, and she was very willing. ”
Chu Li stopped talking, and stopped eating some random meals, but Ye Jinhui had a very good appetite, and she ate a lot of each dish, and by the time she had eaten a large table of dishes, half of them were empty.
"Braised anchovy, braised pig's head meat, sweet and sour carp, red oil fermented bean curd, sent to Orchid Garden." Chu Li commanded lightly.
Ye Jinhui quickly reacted, these foods were for Wei Chi Yilan, but they were really his old man's favorite food, and it seemed that Chu Li was not completely cold-hearted and cold-hearted.
"By the way, ask Mr. Wei Chi what he wants to eat tomorrow." Saying that, he glanced at Ye Jinhui, "By the way, the account is in the name of Shen Hui and Shen Gongzi." ”
This person is too stingy, he respects his master, why should he let her pay for it?
"When Master sees these dishes, he will definitely like Senior Brother even more." Ye Jinhui said.
"That's natural, otherwise even if the junior brother wants to honor the master, he won't be able to find a way." Chu Li didn't feel embarrassed at all, but said confidently, "You just spent a few taels of silver, but I spent countless thoughts on it." ”
She spent the money, but he became a hero, and she has to thank him!
But thinking that Chu Li was doing a better job of guarding than the Ye family, Ye Jinhui lost his temper again.
After all, the last time Chu Li set off a bloody storm in Hangzhou, although Ye Jinhui had guards, he was also explained by Old Man Ye, and he rarely stayed in Hangzhou.
