Chapter VIII

August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Family feast in the palace.

Xie Yiying was very heavy when she learned the news, Lao Tzu didn't treat his son as a son anymore, and he had to make up something together. Lao Tzu is happy when he sees his son, or his son is happy when he sees Lao Tzu. Of course, if you are not happy to see your younger brothers, your brothers will probably be happy as well.

Euphemistically asked Zhou Jin if anyone would take leave on the grounds of physical discomfort, and after Zhou Jin bluntly refused, it was heavy and stressful.

Xie Yiying is under too much pressure and will go crazy from time to time if she doesn't get a good solution.

Now, for example, she sat upright in her chair and stared at the people below for half an hour, then sighed and said, "One of you betrayed me." ”

The following are the four maidservants she brought from home, one mama and the six maidservants and one mama added after marrying the Gu family.

When everyone heard this, they all knelt down in fear, and they didn't dare to say anything.

Glancing at the people, he sighed again: "Let's all go out." ”

Who dares to move.

When the housewife suddenly came out like this, anyone was a little stunned in their hearts.

Fourth Princess, what the hell are you ...... See, something.

Seeing that no one moved, Xie Yiying sneered, picked up the teacup and slammed it into the middle of the hall.

Connected with tea and porcelain pieces, a few people nearby had a skirt.

Only then did the pothos retreat with the people.

After a while, Green Pothos and Qingmei came in to clean up the pieces, and looked at the thank you on the seats, and there was still a solemn look on their faces.

In the morning, the nameless evil fire was dispatched, and in the afternoon, he ordered someone to recruit the two shopkeepers.

stared at people for half a moment through the screen embroidered with ten-mile lotus flowers, and his tone was stiff and cold: "I have been in accounts for three years in a row, and how much silver is short, I will honestly report it." ”

"Madame, this is slandering us, how dare you deceive you."

The two shopkeepers clasped their heads in unison.

Whoever is in charge of the shopkeeper is not greedy for something, greedy is greedy, as long as the account is settled. They are all veterans who have been in charge for more than 20 years, and how can the account book made by a young lady who has just come out of the cabinet be able to see it.

Anyway, they didn't believe it, so they were very frank and talked nonsense.

Xie Yiying sneered, Lao Tzu, a person who strictly grasps the use of tax edge balls, can not understand that you are a little tired! Through the screen, he also wanted to express his anger, and he picked up the cup and smashed it again.

"Open a warehouse inventory!"

Later, there were new maid servants one after another, and when they asked Pothos what they should pay extra attention to when they were serving in this house, the second of the three points and seven small points that Pothos summarized for them was that every few days of the master's small day, they had to put away the best cups.

As soon as Zhou Jin returned home, he heard about Xie Yiying's glorious deeds today.

He has always known about the fact that the people in the house have been inserted from outside, and he also knows which people they have, and they are not arranged in important positions, and they usually send people to watch over them, and they stay without punishment just to calm the hearts of outsiders. What's more, if you go to the old one, you will inevitably have to come to the new one.

He also understands that the shopkeeper's hands and feet are not clean, at best, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, and he doesn't really live on this. Besides, if it is too strict, it will attract attention. Although there is a valid reason for the management of the inner house, he has never married a daughter-in-law, so the matter has been dragged down.

Xie Yiying was able to find out this, and he was still a little surprised.

He didn't know she was still capable of it.

The more we get along, the more satisfying it becomes.

I thought I bought a stone, but who would have thought that it would be a good chalcedony when polished inside. It's really profitable, and it doesn't seem to be a small profit in terms of this trend.

It's still early to see the time and go to the study. After discussing serious matters, I felt that it was time for dinner, but I didn't see Xie Yiying when I went back to the house.

Waited by someone to change clothes, and the two maidservants served the dishes to the table, Zhou Jin looked at and remembered that it was the maid brought by Xie Yiying's mother's family, which one of them was verdant and green.

Then he called for someone to ask, "Where is Madame?" ”

The two who served the dishes were Bisi and Cuizhi, both of whom were a little nervous about Zhou Jin, and they didn't dare to look up after bowing respectfully: "Madame is cooking in the kitchen." ”

Gotcha, I've found another nirvana.

The gentleman was far away from cooking, and Zhou Jin didn't have the curiosity to look at it, so he only asked someone to know that there was still one dish and one soup left, so he looked at the book and waited with peace of mind.

Xie Yiying was rolling up her sleeves at this time, concentrating on pouring soup on the meat. This is the third course of the evening, hibiscus meat.

Hibiscus meat method: one pound of lean meat, sliced, dragged through the clear sauce, and air-dried for an hour. Use 40 prawns and 2 taels of lard, cut the dice, put the shrimp meat on the pork, a shrimp, a piece of meat, knock it flat, cook it in boiling water and pick it up. Boil half a catty of vegetable oil, put the meat slices in the eye copper spoon, and pour the boiling oil into it. Then use half a wine cup of autumn oil, a glass of wine, a teacup of chicken soup, boil, pour the meat slices, add steamed powder, green onions, peppers, and grits to the pot.

The scolding of the two shopkeepers was almost gone, but I still felt uneasy when I thought of tomorrow night's Hongmen banquet. She really doesn't like this thing when she knows that people don't like her, and she really doesn't like it, and she hasn't done this kind of thing since she became financially free, and she is not very skilled in business, and she is worried that her acting skills will not go wrong tomorrow.

Cooking is always a great way to calm your mind.

Zhou Jin is not extravagant in eating, and basically four dishes and one soup are solved for two people every night. After the meal, there are also desserts and refreshments at the request of Xie Yiying. Xie Yiying feels that this kind of life is really suitable for growth, after all, she is only fourteen years old, and it is the time to eat well and work hard to develop.

So according to the usual practice, tonight she also ordered four dishes and one soup, the first three dishes have been ordered to be served, and the remaining dish of hibiscus meat is almost finished, and the lotus leaf yam and duck soup stewed on the stove over there is not about the same time, this dish is put on a plate, and she orders someone to bring out the soup over there.

The time for making multiple dishes must be calculated well, and when you can't make the last dish, the first dish is cold, so what do people eat. Cooking, the art of time planning.

Normally, she likes to play music when cooking, Beethoven when chopping bones, Chopin when shredding, pop songs for cold dishes, and especially sweet songs with desserts.

Green pothos has been watching from the side, very surprised, she didn't think about her master or this ability, but she is a little good, firmly believe that Xie Yiying is omnipotent, when to come up with any skill point, only what my wife is not willing to do, how can she not do it.

Pothos, dedicated to the Lord.

So after being surprised, he watched Xie Yiying humming with great admiration, rolling up his sleeves, peeling shrimp shells and cutting pork, and his movements were skillful.

After finishing the arrangement, she was busy waiting for Xie Yiying to wash her face and change clothes. There is still a little doubt left in my heart, that is, what is the song that Madame sings when she cooks?

Don't blame pothos, thanks to Ying from "YouwatchmebleedtillIcan'tbreathe, shaking, fallingontomyknees." AndnowthatI'mwithoutyourkisses,I'llbeneedingstitches。 "Singing" One day, in the face of innocent tears, the old wound recurred. There is a person who insists that love can be cultivated and I don't speak. From "Who is dancing in the water, who is singing in the mountains, who is singing in the lotus steps of Luyang Bay, who is singing and not returning, who is praying under the moon, who is playing the song of leaving the mourning in the streams and mountains" to "kiss down, let it out, this kiss is like water." ”

After the four dishes and one soup were cooked, the song was rounded, and I was in a happy mood.
