Chapter 43: The Little Lady's Cooking
Feng Xiaoyun, this kid, has been in and out of Yang's house more times than Feng Manlou, after entering, those subordinates actually greeted him one after another, knowing that this is the future uncle's scholar, everyone thought that it was the messenger of the news passed on to the aunt and the young lady, how do you know what this kid is really for!
Xiao Tao saw Feng Xiaoyun coming from a distance and shouted, "Brother Xiaoyun, where is my uncle?" ”
Feng Manlou stepped forward from behind and said, "Little girl, where is your young lady?" ”
Xiao Tao said: "In the kitchen, I said that I would cook myself today!" ”
Feng Manlou was stunned, he didn't expect this little lady to be able to cook, but he didn't know how to do it. Xiao Tao brought them into the hall for tea and went to the kitchen.
Feng Manlou drank tea very consciously, and Feng Xiaoyun was already gone. Seeing where Sun Hu Wang Ying was still standing, he said, "What are you doing standing, sit!" ”
Sun Hu Wang Ying was grateful in his heart, and hurriedly said that he didn't dare to sit!
Feng Manlou had to say that when he arrived here, he was also a guest, so it didn't hurt to do it.
The two sat down in fear. This problem is actually a problem of cultural differences, after all, the society that Feng Manlou came into contact with in later generations is still different from the society of the Great Song Dynasty. The followers of the Great Song Dynasty, the entourage, are not just casual to sit down.
Sun Hu Wang Ying was very moved in his heart, Lord Feng really regarded himself as a brother. Although the two have always regarded Feng Manlou as brothers, they also demand themselves according to the standard of a follower.
In Feng Manlou's heart, it seems that everyone is equal, looking at a person is not to see what he says, but to see what he has done. Although this Lord Feng usually doesn't have a good tone, it obviously makes people feel that he respects everyone in his heart, and he has always looked at things from an equal point of view, which may be the reason why Lord Feng was able to successfully solve so many cases.
After drinking about two cups of tea, I saw Xiao Tao come in and said, "Uncle, it's time to eat!" ”
Feng Manlou stood up and followed Xiao Tao out, Sun Hu Wang Ying didn't need to be instructed, naturally someone greeted him, and he didn't want to find a light bulb.
Xiao Tao took Feng Manlou to a separate room, but saw that the food had already been served on the table. And Yang Hongcai was waiting for him inside.
"Little lady of the Yang family, I've finally waited for you." Feng Manlou was secretly happy in his heart, fortunately, this was still the early stage of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhu Xi's pedantic old master and physicist had not yet appeared, otherwise, I am afraid that the opportunity to be alone with a girl would never be available before marriage.
"Why do you think of our Yang family today?" Yang Hongcai asked.
Feng Manlou smiled: "Didn't you wait for me on purpose?" You see, it's even in the kitchen! ”
Yang Hongcai said: "Do you think it was waiting for you? It's also Miss Ben who is idle, so I remember to cook by myself! ”
Feng Manlou smiled: "It seems that I have come to the right place!" During this time, there are a lot of things in the Yamen, so I don't have so much time to see you, it's really me who is wrong, I'm sorry! ”
Yang Hongcai didn't expect Feng Manlou to apologize, and he was moved in his heart, and said: "You are a dignified county magistrate, an official of the imperial court, and you actually say some nonsense!" ”
Originally, Feng Manlou was trying to adjust the atmosphere to be romantic, but how do you know that this little lady of the Yang family doesn't seem to have romantic cells at all.
Feng Manlou smiled helplessly and was about to start eating.
Yang Hongcai's face was still the same unfazed look, Feng Manlou was also dead, and was about to eat, but heard Yang Hongcai ask: "You are a smiling face every day, a hippie smiling face, are you very happy?" ”
Feng Manlou said: "If you are not happy, you can't laugh and scold?" Did you know that laughter reduces stress, laughter helps digestion, and laughter is the secret ingredient to longevity? A little more smile in life, life will become better! ”
Yang Hongcai said: "Miss Ben doesn't like to laugh, she feels that life is very good!" ”
Feng Manlou said with a smile: "Come on, don't think I don't know, you asked Xiao Tao to pass a message to Feng Xiaoyun and let the official come over, you must have encountered some problems." And he cooks himself, he really understands a man's heart, if you want to keep a man's heart, you must first keep a man's stomach! Hey, what are you doing here, eating! ”
"Poof!" Feng Manlou spit out the rice he had just eaten in his mouth and said, "How did you cook this?" You see, eggplant and fish are cooked together, and what was a good dish has been made. ”
The food pairing principle suggested in the "Book of Rites: Food Medicine" is "fish should be spicy", and fish is served with mushrooms and other fragrant mushrooms. The combination of eggplant and fish is also a kind of creativity, and it is also a very popular method in this era. Feng Manlou has also eaten many times.
Yang Hongcai said: "Then what do you think should be done?" ”
Feng Manlou thought for a while and said, "I don't know how to do this yet, but there is a dish called fish-flavored eggplant, but there is no fish, and the taste is much purer." I don't know where I've eaten it, I forgot! ”
Yang Hongcai said angrily: "It doesn't matter what you dish, Miss Ben can cook it herself, and it's your luck!" ”
Feng Manlou smiled, stared at Yang Hongcai for a long time, and said, "Little lady of the Yang family, if you have anything to say, say it now,"
Yang Hongcai said: "Haven't you heard about the Yimen Chen family? ”
Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment, but he really hadn't heard of it, and asked, "What?" ”
Yang Hongcai didn't pay attention to it, just ate by herself, and only heard Yang Hongcai say: "Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking!" ”
Feng Manlou had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and speak, but after seeing Yang Hongcai having dinner, he left. At this time, Xiao Tao said: "Uncle, what Miss just said about the Yimen Chen family, that is, if you have something to eat, you will talk about dinner!" ”
"What does Yimen Chan have to do with eating?" Feng Manlou touched his head, he really hadn't heard of it.
Xiao Tao said: "The slave family heard that the young lady said that in the territory of De'an, Jiangxi, there is a Zhuangzi, and all the people in it are surnamed Chen, and their ancestor is called Chen Wang, who migrated to the territory of De'an in the first year of the Tang Dynasty. It has been more than 200 years since their children and grandchildren, and the number has reached four or five hundred. But these four or five hundred people have not been separated so far, but the men work together in the fields, and the women do laundry and cook at home. Because there were so many people, they had a rule that when they were eating, they were not allowed to make noises or speak! ”
Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "I see! ”
Needless to say, Yang Hongcai invited herself today, and there must be something, but she always has a lukewarm attitude towards herself. Feng Manlou felt that his enthusiasm suddenly turned into nothing!
Xiao Tao said: "Although Miss is lukewarm to her uncle, Miss has always been thinking about her uncle in her heart, and she has been talking about her uncle, but she is embarrassed to say it, but her uncle is very happy." After speaking, with a spring look on his face, Feng Manlou thought to himself, wouldn't it, is it just a fourteen-year-old child?
Of course, what moved Feng Manlou even more was Xiao Tao's words, the little lady of the Yang family, obviously interested in herself, but she was so lukewarm, hey, it seems that she really has this temper. Fortunately, I met someone in the wind, otherwise I would have been abused if I married another man.
Seeing his uncle leave, Xiao Tao hurriedly shouted, "Uncle, uncle, where are you going?" ”
Feng Manlou said: "Of course I went to the study!" ”
Because Yang Hongcai is now in the study, she also knows that Feng Manlou will definitely come back to find her.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, I heard Feng Manlou say outside: "I'm not here, I'm going to come in." Hopefully the door is unlocked! ”
As soon as the words fell, he pushed open the door, and sure enough, Yang Hongcai was in the study.
"Little lady, I don't know if you need help with the account problem last time?" Feng Manlou walked in, and the first thing he asked was this. Now I basically feel the pulse of this little lady, so I go straight to the point.
Yang Hongcai said: "No! I want to ask, do you know that there is a group of people in Yuhang who specialize in suppressing various businesses, basically in every industry. Their purpose is to make it impossible for others to do business at all, and they also unify the business of the entire Yuhang! ”
When Feng Manlou heard this, he said, "I know! ”
Of course, Feng Manlou knew that this organization was headed by Wei Zhongshu and his gang of officials, and their purpose was to protect the content of the covenant of the Jinkui Alliance, and the second purpose was to collect money. Of course, the accumulation of wealth must also be to keep the covenant, Feng Manlou is basically sure.
The matter of the covenant, not only Zhao Pu knows, but Wang Jien also knows, since Wang Jien knows, then King Wei must also know, maybe the official family is the best to know.
Since so many people know, Xiao Zongxun must have a very strong relationship in the capital, and only in this way can it be ensured that Yuhang County has never been transferred except for the county magistrate. Since these relationships are to be maintained, large sums of money are required.
Feng Manlou is sure that those of them will not watch themselves find out about them, and they will definitely find a way to deal with themselves, and the relationship between themselves and the Yang family is now known to the entire Yuhang County, so Feng Manlou is already very sure in his heart that they are definitely the ones who have attacked the Yang family's industry.
"What the hell is going on?" Feng Manlou asked, "What do you need me to help with?" ”
Yang Hongcai said: "After checking the accounts and checking them, I found that all the properties of our Yang family in Yuhang have been transferred by them, and the accounts are clear, and there are no loopholes at all." Now our Yang family's industry in Yuhang, only seven or eight shops are left, but there is no silver to turn over the goods, this time, the Yang family's career in Yuhang is completely over! ”
Feng Manlou said: "Is it really not at all? ”
Yang Hongcai said: "I just want to ask you to investigate the truth and take back all the things that belong to our Yang family!" ”
"How? I know six out of seven for business, how can you tell me to help? Feng Manlou said with a smile.
Yang Hongcai was happy in her heart and said, "Since you are already so powerful, don't you know how to help?" ”
Feng Manlou said with a smile: "Seven tricks are through six tricks, that's a clue!" Besides, there are a lot of things in the county government now, and I don't have so much time to investigate, and I don't know how to investigate! If you really want revenge, maybe I can help you figure it out! ”
Yang Hongcai asked, "What can I do?" ”
Feng Manlou said with a smile: "Open a money bank!" ”
"Open a bank?! So that you can also get revenge? Yang Hongcai asked.
Feng Manlou said: "Not only can they take revenge, but they can also make them bleed!" ”
