"Got a plan so soon? I don't know if I need Mrs. Ben's cooperation? ”

"There is no other request, just that the lady can be as colorful as the banquet house."

The eldest lady was stunned: "Caitou? What do you mean by that? It's the first time that Mrs. Ben has heard that there are lottery heads for dinner. ”

"Didn't the eldest lady say it all? The feast a week later will be unique. It's because no one has ever done it before, so we have to implement it. ”

"You have some truth in saying that, I don't know what you want from the bride price? How will it be used at the banquet? ”

"Madam, I'm afraid that the things I want are a little precious, I'm afraid that Madame is reluctant to give them!"

"Oh? Let's hear about it. ”

"The thing I want is a flower brocade."

"Flower brocade!" The eldest lady was shocked.

Xiaolian, who was holding the eldest lady, had round eyes, and said in her heart that this person was crazy? How precious is Hua Jinzi to Saijia now? How could the eldest lady be willing to take it out?

But the strange thing is that the eldest lady was surprised and gradually calmed down after that, and lowered her eyebrows and pondered as if she was a little moved.

"Could it be that the eldest lady really ......?"

The eldest lady took a deep breath and muttered: "This time is different from the past, there is no doubt about the preciousness of Hua Jinzi, it can be said to be the most diagnostic thing of the Saijia. It's a bit ...... to use it as a color head First of all, tell us how you are going to arrange it on the day of the feast. ”

"Madam, I will only prepare four dishes on the day of the feast."

"Only four dishes? That's too little, isn't it? ”

"Definitely." Xia Shang said solemnly, "Madam, the purpose of our banquet is to let the guests see the essence of our Sai family. Madame said that to show off the essence is to use luxurious dishes to showcase, but I have a different opinion. ”

"What's your opinion?"

"Saijia is the home of merchants, the name of the cloth village all over Chang'an City and the south of the Yangtze River, the world knows that the Saijia family is wealthy, even if the old man is dead, but the family money and food can not be taken away. So I don't think there's a need to deliberately show how much money the Saijia has. Since ancient times, business has not been as good as literature, and no matter how much money a businessman has, he is inferior in the eyes of the literati. It is nothing more than saying that a businessman smells of copper. The guests of the banquet were officials and businessmen in the Chang'an area, and most of the officials were from the literature. If you want them to be impressed by Saijia, it is better to start with the inner meaning of the dish. Excessive luxury is counterproductive. ”

"The inner meaning? It's just a few dishes, so what's the point? ”

"Madame don't need to worry, I already have a plan, I will let Madame try it first in three days, and then there will be a remark to talk to Madame."

The eldest lady looked at Xia Shang thoughtfully: "You kid has some ability, so you can think about the things that should be done so quickly?" I thought about the usefulness of that flower brocade for a long time, right? ”

"The four dishes I prepared were extraordinary, and as long as the guests who could eat all the four dishes on the day of the banquet could get that flower brocade."

"Are you saying that as long as you can eat all the four dishes at the feast, you can get the flower brocade? This ......"

Xia Shang smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, don't you think this topic is very simple?" In fact, otherwise, I dare to conclude that on the day of the banquet, no one can take the flower brocade away, and those four dishes will definitely spread all over Chang'an City. ”

"Good! If you have faith, Mrs. Ben will wait for good news. There you go. ”

Xia Shang bowed his hand and took his leave.

"Ma'am." Xia Shang left, and Xiaolian on the side pulled the corner of the eldest lady's clothes and whispered, "You just believe what he said?" That's not a good person, coming to Saijia will only cause trouble for the family. ”

"Be nosy."

The eldest lady snorted, and Xiaolian pursed her mouth aggrievedly.

The eldest lady didn't look at her, twisted her eyebrows and whispered: "Is there less trouble for the Sai family now?" ”

……

In the backyard of Sai's house, a few idle maids whispered in the corner of the long-abandoned vegetable garden under the scorching noon sun.

"Hey! Take a look, take a look. When did such things grow in this waste garden? I didn't even see it yesterday, so how did it come out of nowhere? ”

"Didn't you see that? This is the new chef Xia Shang got it out of nowhere. Just now I watched him carefully plant in the vegetable garden. ”

"What is this? What a strange thing! I've never seen it before, it's as red as a gemstone, I'm afraid it's very sweet, right? ”

"I don't know, do you want to try it?"

"Taste?" A girl thought thoughtfully, twisted her eyebrows and thought for a while, "I'm afraid I still don't want it, and I don't know if I can eat this thing." ”

"Since you don't want to taste it, it's always okay to pick one and study it, right?"

A few maids were interested, and their eyes were smiling like crescents.

"Giggles, this thing is interesting, you look at it first, don't be discovered."

Several maids looked left and right, and when they were sure that no one was there, one of them reached out and picked one.

The thing that the maid picked was naturally the Chaotian pepper transplanted by Xia Shang from the vegetable garden of the space kitchen. This pepper is the size of an index finger, red and attractive, and looks extremely regular. But anyone with experience knows that such peppers are extremely spicy. Xia Shang could feel the strength just by smelling it. In this way, even if the pepper is processed and put into the dish, it is extremely spicy, let alone freshly picked?

It's a pity that these maids have no experience, but fortunately they didn't taste it naively, just took it in their hands and looked at it carefully.

After looking at the shape of the chili pepper, he became interested in the internal structure of the chili, so the naïve maid peeled the chili pepper at the instigation of her companion......

"What are you doing?"

A voice suddenly appeared, and several idle maids were startled into a cold sweat, and everyone stood up straight.

"Sister Sangsang."

Sang Sang looked at a few people suspiciously with his hands behind his back: "You guys are sneaking around the vegetable garden, do you have the idea of things in the vegetable garden?" ”

"I didn't ...... No! ”

"It's better not to. I'm telling you, the things in this vegetable garden are related to the banquet of the Sai family in a week, so it's okay to hang around here, hurry up! ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

A few maids are like being pardoned, you push me, I push you to trot away with your skirt.

But after a few steps, the girl who had just picked the pepper suddenly stopped.

The sisters in front looked at her puzzled: "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you go quickly? ”

"No...... No, no, that's wrong! The girl's brow furrowed more and more, "My hand ...... How do my hands feel like fire? ”

"Ouch! When is this still a joke? Hurry up! ”

"No, I'm not kidding, my hands are really ...... Something really isn't right! The girl felt the burning sensation in her hands getting worse and worse, and there was a faint pain, and her heart panicked, and tears flowed out.

The rest of the people saw that something was wrong and hurried back: "What's wrong with your hand?" Take a look. ”

The maid showed her hand, and everyone was stunned.

The little hands, which were pink and white a second ago, somehow became fiery red, as if they had been scalded by boiling water.

In the next second, everyone realized the problem, and one exclaimed: "Oops! Throw away the strange thing in your hand, maybe it's poison! ”
