It's not too early, it's time to cook.

Guo Wendong entered the west wing, closed the door, and then got into the space, the weather was cold, he planned to shabu the hot pot, first took some hot pot base, and then came to the refrigerator, picked more than a dozen catties of Australian mutton, and then took some side dishes and dipping sauces.

Time stands still in space, and Guo Wendong has plenty of time to walk around the Oriental Port, inspect many warehouses, containers, and import and export thousands of goods, covering all items that can be legally traded in modern times.

"Everyone eats hot pot tonight and tastes the food that the young master bought from Hu Shang!"

According to the young master's instructions, the housekeeper Fang Yuli notified the maids and servants.

"Fusheng, according to my method, you make two more pots of soup base."

Guo Wendong came to the kitchen and instructed Chef Fusheng to prepare the soup base, which has a spicy pot and a clear soup pot.

It is not surprising that peppercorns have existed since ancient times, but what is strange is chili peppers. During the Ming Dynasty, although chili peppers had been introduced to China, they were limited to Guizhou and Yunnan in the early days, and did not spread throughout the country until the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, few people in the Jiangnan area ate chili peppers, and no one used chili peppers as spices. Mixing peppercorns and chili peppers together, Fusheng, who has been engaged in cooking for 20 years, is unheard of.

It was dark, and the north wind was howling outside, and it was very cold.

The main house of the Guo family house, but it is steaming here, using charcoal as fuel to burn the pot, there are two clay pots, one is the bottom of the clear soup pot, and the other is the bottom of the spicy pot.

Guo Wendong and his wife were eating hot pot with relish, and there were two maids standing next to them waiting at any time, namely Chunxiang and Xing'er.

In the old society, there was a difference between the dignity and inferiority of the master and the subordinate, and the subordinate was not qualified to eat with the master.

"That's amazing! Spicy! Sensitive! ”

Mao Lingzhi has eaten it in a big gulp and is full of praise.

"The taste of this tuna is really different, Xiang Gong really has a way to buy so many good things from Hu Shang."

In addition to the bottom of the pot, there are lamb, salmon, tuna, oysters and other seafood as side dishes, and Guo Wendong also eats it very refreshingly.

The fragrance reached the noses of the two maids, and they were both greedy.

Mao Lingzhi glanced at Chunxiang, then moved her gaze to her husband, and said, "Xianggong, Chunxiang is different from other maids, have you forgotten?" ”

Guo Wendong said: "Lady, I really can't remember." ”

Mao Lingzhi said to Xing'er: "Xing'er, you go over and bring an extra pair of chopsticks." ”

Apricot answered and walked out quickly.

Watching Xing'er leave and close the door, Mao Lingzhi said to her husband: "Husband, since four years ago, Chunxiang has often warmed your bed and slept with you......"

After his wife explained a little, Guo Wendong understood that Chunxiang was her maid.

Four years ago, Chunxiang was only ten years old, and in the evil feudal society, such a young girl's family was arranged to be a maid in the room.

Listening to the heroine talking about herself, Haruka lowered her head shyly.

Chunxiang has only one fate in the future, that is, to become the concubine of the Guo family.

"Haruka, come on, come on, eat together!"

Even if it is a concubine, it is also his own woman, Guo Wendong doesn't want to be treated badly.

Chunxiang has never eaten with her master, where do you dare to sit down.

Guo Wendong wrenched his face and said, "Young master, you don't listen to my words, do you?" ”

Haruka had to bring a chair and sit down tremblingly.

At this time, Xing'er came back, holding a pair of trays in her hands, and on the tray were dishes and chopsticks.

Watching Chunxiang sit down, she immediately understood that Chunxiang had a higher status than her, and was gifted by the young master to eat together.

"Eat fast, eat fast!"

Guo Wendong sandwiched the tuna and mutton into the Chunxiang bowl, Chunxiang temporarily forgot about the humility and enjoyed it, she enjoyed the mouth, and her heart was even warmer.

On the other side, the maids and servants all gathered together, shabu hot pot, everyone applauded, not only said that it was delicious, but also said that the young master was good, and distributed such delicious food to the next person.

After eating a full meal, Haruka and Apricot are served and bathed.

Looking at the soap horn used to wash hair and clean the body in this era, Guo Wendong felt disgusted, and before taking off his clothes, he went to the wing room again, entered the space and took some daily necessities, took the shampoo and shower gel to the bathroom, and taught his wife and maid how to use it.

After taking a bath, Mao Lingzhi was refreshed, ten thousand times better than soaphorn.

"Husband, do you still have shampoo and shower gel?" After using these two magical items, she doesn't want to use the soaphorn again.

"Rest assured, there are purchase channels for our husbands, which are enough for us to use for a lifetime."

Chunxiang and Xing'er were also allowed to use it, and they were grateful and respected to the young master.

In the bedroom, red candles are burning, and the stickers are still on the wall.

"Lady, I drank too much for my husband last night, and tonight is the real candle night in the cave room!"

Mao Lingzhi lowered her head, her cheeks were red, and her expression was timid.

Outside the window of the main room, Haruka was eavesdropping on the bedroom, and she was curious to know how it was rounded.

In the past, she had always slept with the young master, and the young master had never touched her, which was not considered a husband and wife. Since last night, the young master has a wife, and he no longer needs her, and he can't help but feel sour, and he feels very lost in his heart.

She seemed to hear some sounds and didn't go back to sleep until late in the day.

The next day, the little couple got up, and Apricot and Haruka came in with hot water and toiletries respectively.

Guo Wendong picked up the toothbrush with a wooden handle, brushed the hair on his head with his fingers, and asked, "What kind of hair is this?" ”

Mao Lingzhi said that it was pig bristles, in Guo Wendong's opinion, it was really disgusting, and then looked at two cups, one cup was thick tea, and the other small cup was filled with salt water, which was to brush your teeth with a toothbrush with salt water first, and then rinse your mouth with tea.

Ancient people did not know that salt and tea contain fluoride, which can reduce inflammation and sterilize, which is all inherited from experience.

"I have a better toothbrush toothpaste!"

Guo Wendong said, went to the west wing of the Sanjin Courtyard, and then entered the space, took out a batch of toothpaste and toothbrushes in the daily necessities warehouse, and then returned to the bedroom, personally demonstrated how to brush his teeth, and Mao Lingzhi drew a gourd to use in the same way.

The young master didn't say the origin of this magical thing, Mao Lingzhi and the two maids naturally thought that they were bought from Hu Shang, or sent by a friend who went to sea.

After washing, the couple ate breakfast.

Guo Wendong asked, "When will the medical center open?" ”

Mao Lingzhi said: "Xianggong, the hospital will hang out a signboard the day before yesterday, the shopkeeper will get married, and the museum will be closed for five days, and the museum will not open until the day after tomorrow to practice medicine." ”

This morning, Guo Wendong didn't do anything else to understand the business status of the hospital.

After hundreds of years of operation, Qingxiutang has a good reputation in Nanjing, Guo Weihe's medical skills are quite clever, and Mao Lingzhi has a true heritage, and the medical hall is essentially taken over by her.

According to the inventory of the account office, the profit of the clinic last month was 190 taels.

After his wife finished telling, Guo Wendong thought of the current year, the Ming Dynasty is about to fall, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is about to enter the customs.

Thinking of this, Guo Wendong frowned and felt irritable.

Mao Lingzhi saw that her husband had something on her mind, and said with concern: "Husband, why are you worried?" ”

Guo Wendong said earnestly: "Daming is worried about internal and external troubles, do you think the Tartars can enter the customs and seize the Ming Dynasty?" ”
