Gu Yan returned to the door on the day and Gu Xu took his wife home is the same lively and grand, from the newlyweds' carriage into the door of the firecrackers, to the gate of the Yeguo Mansion is a firecracker, Gu San and Mrs. in the main hall to greet the newlyweds, Gu Mansion related relatives and friends are all present, Gu Yan led her husband to introduce him to the elders and brothers one by one, and then the young couple temporarily separated, Gu Yan took the arm of the mother-in-law, talked and laughed to the back house, gossip with the female guests, share the joy of the new life.
Bai Ko dressed neatly and was busy in the east kitchen, the first day there was a cook who was burned by the steam and had to recuperate for a few days, Bai Ko sent the girl from Zhong Ming Yuan to do chores, and she also personally cooked on the stove to ensure that the luncheon was foolproof.
After Shun LĂŹ finished Gu Yan's return banquet, what the government had to seriously deal with was the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and at the same time, Gu Yun's shops and workshops also had to prepare the tail tooth banquet, and there were many people in the workshop, so following the convenience of the public middle school procurement, the partner bought a lot of seafood, planning to eat poon choi at the tail tooth banquet, and not engage in a traditional banquet with a few cold and hot bowls.
A poon choi feast takes three or four or even four or five days to prepare, which is not much less than the general banquet, but after eating, you can wash a lot of plates and bowls.
Bai Rui didn't have time to stare at making poon choi, so she taught her sister Bai Rui to make her responsible, Bai Rui has settled in Tianshuifang for more than a year, her health has improved a lot, and she began to be in the mood to ponder her cooking skills and restore the Bai family tradition, Bai Ko taught her this dish to make her very happy, carefully note down every preparation step, and repeatedly promise that there will be no mistakes.
After the workshop of Tianshuifang moved to the workshop, there were only two places left, the big car shop and the shop, as well as the renovated women's tea room, there were few people who ate the tail tooth banquet, Bai Rui and Qingyu could also take care of it, and the trouble was that there were many people in the workshop, and there were more preparations to be made.
Bai Ko wrote the recipe and handed it to Meng Mei, since the opening of the women's school, she went to study every night to do her homework seriously, and she has recognized a lot of words in a few months, and there are very few girls who went to class with her until now, Bai Ko silently wrote down their names, and asked Meng Mei to take a few of them as the main assistants this time.
Mengmei read out the words on the recipe word by word, and immediately asked if there were words she didn't know or sentences she couldn't understand, and Bai Ko answered patiently until Mengmei had no more questions.
The news of eating seafood at the end of the year-end banquet soon spread in the factory, Bai Ko brought seafood ingredients when he came, and the rest of the J duck fish R and radish mushrooms to be used can be bought now, the workers have never eaten seafood, hearing the news, many people have taken the time to run to the kitchen, and saw the basket of all kinds of seafood with their own eyes, so beautiful that their saliva flowed down.
Mengmei obeyed Bai Ko's instructions, took a group of girls who were studying to prepare for the banquet, assigned errands to each of them, and asked them to bring a few more assistants to hold a C, this is the first year-end banquet since the factory was built, and it must be done well.
After the small year, there will be annual leave, so the shop and the big car dealer's tail tooth banquet is eaten one day in advance, and the school is also on holiday at this time, Gu Yun takes on the burden of maintaining social interaction, goes out early and returns late every day, and also takes two days to participate in the year-end banquet in the big car shop of Tianshui Fang and the workshop of Xile Fang, and gives his subordinates a New Year's reward, ordinary guys and workers get an extra month's wages, middle-level deacons and ordinary account offices get two more months, and the shopkeeper and big account room get three months, everyone cheers and thanks the generosity of the prince.
The production lines in the factory have been shut down for maintenance, but the flat glass furnace is still burning, Bai Ko asked the workers to fight a few more before the year to see if they can stabilize the existing yield, she still hopes to make enough large mirrors, and give the people of Beijing a huge surprise after the year.
Only then did they receive a rich annual reward, and the workers continued to work energetically, Bai Ko has relaxed the standards, and there can be some flaws around the edges of the mirror, but the part that reflects the figure in the middle can not be there, even if the person who looks in the mirror does not necessarily have the eyesight to see the bubble impurities in the mirror or something else, it is not good.
Under such a requirement, the workers buried themselves in work, and in various ways to improve the yield rate, they didn't even care about their own New Year's affairs, but looking at the number of finished large dressing mirrors more and more, the workers' motivation became more and more high, and the family members were also very understanding and supportive, and the women united to prepare for the New Year's Eve by themselves, so that the men could work hard.
Seeing that the plan was promising, Bai Ko immediately informed Gongzhong, the eldest lady, Ning Peilan and the district family, and they sent the treasurers of their respective silk shops to the workshop to discuss the details of the unified action, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the third day of the new year, they must be closed everywhere to rest, the craftsmen also have to visit relatives and friends, and giving more money does not necessarily take the job, and on the fifth day of the first year, the businessmen will only open their doors after the God of Wealth has taken over, so only on the fourth day of the new year will things be done.
During the break, these cooperative shopkeepers came to the exhibition room to visit, and saw the glass box in the middle, and immediately someone had a flash of inspiration, and thought of a solution to the installation of a large mirror, and a group of people discussed it on the spot, and then went to the workshop where the mirror frame was made to check the wood.
The shopkeepers quickly went back to make their preparations, and prepared a large curtain to cover the mirror when the night closed, otherwise the dim light might be frightened by themselves in the mirror.
Bai Ko entrusted the affairs of the workshop to the stewards, and there were still many things waiting for her in the house.
The old lady in the mansion heard that her grandson ate poon choi at the tail tooth banquet for the workers, and she was a little interested, but the menu of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner had long been set, and it was impossible to change it temporarily, so it was decided that on the seventh day of the first month, the mansion also ate poon choi, Bai Ko was busy with things in the workshop, and he always owed this recipe not written, and the masters naturally had to use better ingredients to eat, and the abalone and ginseng wings had to be served, so they had to pay more attention to prepare in advance.
Mrs. Gu also invited the palace chief and his wife to the mansion to celebrate the New Year together, and they celebrated the New Year by themselves this year, mainly because the palace chief knew that Huiyan Wangfu would definitely live directly after eating, so he had to bring the full outfit of entering the palace to pay New Year's greetings, so that he had time to dress up neatly in the early morning of the first day of the new year, he was too lazy to bother about this, the old prince and the old princess were used to pampering this young son since childhood, and they had nothing to do with him, so they let him be.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace chief and his wife planned to come to the door in the afternoon, but when they were dressing up in the house, the girl outside came in to report that the caravan going to the northern border had just entered the mansion.
Gong Changji and his wife glanced at each other, and the time to go out was immediately postponed, and Gong Changji first went to the main hall of the front yard to meet the caravan captain and the chief guard who was escorting the car, read the information they brought back, and listen to them tell what they had seen and heard in Chunshui Fort.
After chatting here, seeing that the time was really not early, the palace chief Ji went back to the bedroom to change his clothes, took his wife across the street to the door, and went to Rong'en Hall to greet the old lady and everyone, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner before the banquet, the palace chief Ji seized an opportunity to whisper with Gu Yun.
"The caravan is back."
