Chapter 640: Tricks
Meng Guanshuang also thought that the spice sales on the first day would definitely encounter the normal phenomenon of many bystanders and few buyers, but she didn't expect that after she left, the shopkeeper Liu Feng personally took a stove and a pot, and performed in public how simple and convenient, and did not consume labor to cook different flavors of food with various seasonings.
The ancients basically had a very macho idea, that is, the gentleman cooks far away, and cooking in the kitchen is a woman's business.
But what is very paradoxical is that if it is a rich and noble family, there are groups of slaves in the house, and even if the hostess is not at home, there is still hot food in the mouth.
But if ordinary people can't afford to buy a person, sometimes the wife has to go out to do some small business to make money, or the wife has to go to a relative, or go back to her parents' house...... And so on, it is possible that there is only one big man left with a few babies waiting to be fed at home looking at the pot and staring dryly.
So, the easiest way to cook comes out, you don't need to fry and cook, just light a hot pot, put water, put in the ingredients, and then put some prepared spices according to your own taste, even if it is an ordinary old tofu, you can eat a different taste.
The big housekeeper really didn't see the wrong person, this Liu Feng shopkeeper has a good mind in business, and Meng Guanshuang can almost foresee that her seasoning industry will create brilliance again.
It's natural to be in a mood to make money, so when she saw Feng Yuyao, Meng Guanshuang felt that her face was not very annoying.
But Feng Yuyao didn't like her when she looked at her, especially when she knew that Meng Tang was meddling. actually sent the two Meng Jien's people who were originally only in charge of affairs under Meng Jien in the outer courtyard to Jizhong, and they were full of anger.
In addition, after listening to the secret report of the people under him, he said that Meng Guanshuang's newly opened spice shop was an unprecedented pioneer in the history of the dynasty, and he also bought out the reserves in the palace, thinking that she had been thinking about it for more than ten years, and she didn't dare to get much benefit in the vat of the Guogong Mansion, but she only needed Meng Tang's words, which was equivalent to fishing for Jizhong Tianshan to her side, and also monopolized the business in the palace, so it came down. As long as she continues to follow her to learn from her, she will be fed. There are more opportunities to be captured by her.
With more concerns, Feng Yuyao decided to change her strategy, no longer letting Meng Guanshuang follow her to contact the business of the outer courtyard, but the entire inner courtyard was miscellaneous. The trivial things were all pushed to Meng Guanshuang. Keep her busy with her feet on the ground. But I didn't learn anything at all.
Meng Guanshuang knew what she meant, and she didn't pick it out, as long as someone came to tell her about something in the inner courtyard. She didn't need Feng Yuyao's assignment, so she automatically asked for orders to deal with it.
After Zhang Cheng and Liu Qi went, she had already learned about the situation through some means, and knew that it was the place that Meng Guanyue valued the most.
Now, she has been disturbed by herself, and the mother and son must hate her to death, and they don't know what kind of ghost ideas they have to think of to fix her!
On the one hand, she cheered up and paid attention to it from time to time, on the other hand, she also knew that she couldn't be too aggressive, the dog was in a hurry to jump off the wall, and the rabbit was in a hurry to bite someone.
At this time, the reason for the noise in the backyard was that in the big kitchen, a cook accused a servant woman who was burning the fire of stealing the white fungus bird's nest soup prepared for the old lady.
One said that he had a nose and eyes, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and one was aggrieved and sobbed, and he was stunned to say that he absolutely did not steal food, and if he ate it, he would be thundered by the sky.
Meng Guanshuang went in to find out, only to know that the two had always been incompatible, as if the son of the fire servant had taken a fancy to the cook's daughter.
This is nothing, among the wealthy families, the servants are like clouds, and I don't know how many times more than the master.
After some maids and maids look at each other, they can beg their masters to give them marriage.
If they sign the deed of sale, after the two get married and have children, the children will be the children of the rich and noble families, and when they grow up, they will be arranged to work for generations, and they will also eat in the master's house until they are old.
Moreover, because the parents have been in the master's house for too long, they mix an old face, or a small position or something, it can be regarded as a dog fighting people, and they feel that they have a face, and the treatment of short-term jobs is naturally different than only signing a number of years and will be released when the time comes.
The cook is a son of the family, and found a small maid in the Guogong Mansion to get married, and gave birth to a daughter, and now she is on an errand in front of the second aunt Meng Xu, and she is a second-class maid, and she can be regarded as a maid with some heads.
But the fire-burning servant signed a term of service, and after a few years, she was to be released when the contract arrived.
A few years ago, her son came to visit his mother, who had sacrificed herself to work for the sake of the family, and when she saw that her mother was working very hard to take care of several stoves by herself, she lit the fire instead of her mother, just so that her mother could rest for a while.
At that time, the cook's daughter happened to come to the big kitchen to ask for some flour, and she saw a filial young man. Seeing that the young man not only had a good conscience, but also looked good, he had a good impression.
After inquiring around again, I learned that although this young man's family was poor, he was very smart, and he was studying through the financial support of Wutong Academy, and he was going to participate in the scientific examination in two years to gain fame.
The little girl's idea is a little longer than her own mother's mother, she thinks that even if she is relying on the mother of the cook, and the father of the little housekeeper in the outer courtyard, she can mix well in the Guogong Mansion, and no one bullies her, but if she is just looking for a little slave to marry like her mother, then she can only live in the Guogong Mansion for the rest of her life, at most she will mix better in the future, and she will be a housekeeper or something, but she is still the master's slave!
So, after falling in love with the young man, her mind became lively, and she felt that what if she was suffering now, she could afford to suffer when she was young.
Wouldn't it be better if you have endured hardships and be able to get rid of slavery in the future?
So, the young man became enthusiastic.
The young man was a little flattered at first, thinking that people were good to him, but they just took pity on him.
But he came to help his mother a few times later, but the little girl became more and more enthusiastic, and revealed her good impression of him openly and secretly.
The woman chases the man, the interlayer yarn, back and forth, and the little girl breaks through the young man's defense.
Originally, some ambitious young men were going to wait for themselves to get famous, and invite Bai Qingfeng, a senior brother who had not yet met, to help be a lobbyist, and when the time came, the little girl would be taken off from slavery, and the little couple would happily achieve good deeds.
But the relationship between the two was broken by the cook. (To be continued.) )
