Chapter 60: Helping to Cause Disputes
"Little Liuzi, you go downstairs and get some ingredients, the braised fish balls I made today still have some condiments. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The master looked at Yuan Xiaoya downstairs and said to an apprentice beside him.
At this point, if you don't know what the master means, it's really stupid.
Xiao Liuzi had already been eager to try, and now that he heard the master's words, he naturally hurried downstairs.
Anyway, this big kitchen has to listen to the master, they are old minions, disobedient but there is no good fruit to eat.
Moreover, he knew very well in his heart that the little girl below was found by Steward Xu, but now Steward Xu was waiting outside, and it was impossible for him to come inside to help.
As long as there is a problem with the noon dish this time, what face does the little girl have to stay here?
Even more fearless, he went to the small kitchen below, and said to the little donkey in the kitchen: "Master let me come down with that little material." ”
Then no matter what the little donkey's reaction was, he just took some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and rushed out of the door.
When he was at the door, he almost bumped into Yuan Xiaoya, and he didn't even apologize. Just ran away.
"Brother Little Donkey, who is this person, how can he walk so carelessly, what if he knocks someone down?"
Yuan Xiaoya asked the little donkey while looking at the back of the hurried one.
"Xiaoya, he took away all our spices."
The little donkey wants to cry without tears, and after such a short period of effort, I really don't know what to say.
"Who is he, and why do you want to take any spices?"
Yuan Xiaoya looked at the little donkey dumbfounded, what was the situation. Wasn't he invited to cook?
"It's the little six sons in the kitchen, I'm going to get the seasoning back."
The little donkey was very angry, this was originally a good errand, as long as he helped Xiao Ya make this meal, he would have a lot of silver rewards, but now it's good, not to mention the silver rewards, it's already a great luck not to be punished.
"Big brother donkey, don't go, it's useless."
Yuan Xiaoya shook her head, she was not a real five-year-old child after all, she knew very well in her heart that this was not a simple prank at all.
Rather, her appearance touched the interests of some people, this is a warning to her, right?
"Then there is no seasoning, how can we cook?"
The little donkey knows Chen Ji better than Yuan Xiaoya, and she also knows in her heart that there is no way to get back the spices that were taken away, but how do they still cook them.
"Why don't I go to Steward Xu and ask him to give us a head?"
The little donkey asked, somewhat uncertain.
"I have my own way, don't trouble Grandpa Xu now."
Yuan Xiaoya shook her head, she also knew that this time the distinguished guest must be of great significance to Steward Xu, otherwise, he would not have let himself help with the cooking.
"Alas!"
The little donkey stomped his feet, and at the same time, he thought that when the matter was over, he must let the people in the kitchen know that they were not so easy to bully!
"Little Liuzi really has yours, I look at that little girl's film, without these seasonings, how can you make delicious dishes?!"
"Like, see how she's screaming in front of us?"
When it was different from the bleak situation on Yuan Xiaoya and the little donkey's side, in the kitchen upstairs, everyone was praising Xiao Liuzi, what a clever guy, even if Steward Xu was investigated in the future, they didn't take their materials, who made the seasoning upstairs not enough?
How many dishes are there to make? They have to cook some food, but they can't do without spices.
Steward Xu didn't know anything about this, and he was now standing outside the county seat, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guests.
In the Great Qian, there was no such thing as a ban on the sea, so shipping was still very developed.
Behind Chen Ji, there is a very large merchant family, over the years, shipping has made them make enough money.
However, five or six years ago, there were rumors that the imperial court was preparing to expropriate Quanzhou Port as the first distribution center of Fanghu Port on the sea.
This was not good news at all for merchants, especially those engaged in maritime trade.
In this way, they could not depart and trade from the port of Quanzhou.
This is also why, a senior steward like Steward Xu will appear in a remote place like Yuanjia Town.
Businessmen are profit-oriented, but also very intuitive and know when to plan ahead.
Steward Xu came to Yuanjia Town, not only to run Chen Ji, but also to open up a new seaport. It is used for foreign business.
In fact, even if there had been no such rhetoric from the imperial court, the merchants would have looked for a new port.
The taxes on the court are becoming more and more onerous, and if this continues, it will be impossible to make ends meet.
As a result, new ports are becoming more and more needed.
Steward Xu came to Yuanjia Town for this matter.
Judging from the floor plan of the Great Qian Dynasty, this part of Yuanjia Town is indeed a very good natural port, which was originally in the shape of a harbor, which was discovered by the fleet of Chen Jidong's family by chance.
This is why Steward Xu was sent here to investigate, and now it is basically completed, and it is indeed suitable for building a port here, so Chen Jidong's family sent his youngest son to this side for final acceptance a few years ago, to see if everything is just like the news sent back by Steward Xu.
The reason why Yuan Xiaoya didn't know about this incident at all was because this incident had never happened in his previous life.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have let her family repair the house at all, and she could have gone to the town to buy a house, and she would have to buy a big house, and she would definitely be able to sell it for a good price at that time.
In the distance, Steward Xu saw a small convoy with no flags or logos, but he just knew that it was their convoy.
I couldn't help but get excited, he had been in Yuanjia Town for a long time, and he hadn't seen anyone in his 'home' for so long.
The convoy soon arrived outside the county seat, and Steward Xu looked at the only carriage with some excitement, this operation was relatively hidden.
Merchants value profits, and they know exactly what a new port means.
"The villain greets the second young master, the second young master has worked the road."
The carriage finally stopped, and Steward Xu hurriedly trotted all the way to the side of the carriage and said hello to the people in the carriage.
"Steward Xu doesn't need to be polite, my father often tells me that you are a very respectable person."
The person who was called the second young master by Steward Xu was the second son of the head of Steward Xu's family, and Steward Xu had never seen it before.
These two sons have been frail and sickly since they were children, and they were sent to the mountains at a very young age.
It was after Steward Xu left that he returned to the head of the family, strictly speaking, this was the first time Steward Xu met with the second son.
