Chapter 607: Commonplace
After a series of instructions, Hu Laohan arranged for his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to wait carefully in the main hall, and he went to the backyard kitchen to stare at the meal.
Hu Laohan has always been uneasy in his heart.
So early this morning, Hu Laohan saw the people who came from the Great Prince's Mansion, and it was rumored that the people in the Zhuangzi would pack up and wait to greet the Great Princess.
To tell the truth, in the past few years, since the Zhuangzi has been assigned to the Great Prince's Mansion as a territory, except that the Great Prince occasionally sends people to Zhuangzi to have a look, it is at most a routine question, talking about the harvest and talking about the population, Hu Laohan himself Over the years, because of his age, his legs and feet are not good, and his energy is average, plus he intends to cultivate a successor, he has not gone to the Great Prince's Mansion to meet in recent years, and he has asked his son to go to the reconciliation for himself to discuss what to prepare for the New Year's Festival, and what to prepare for the second year, the handover of flowing water in Zhuangzi and other matters, I have never seen the princess seriously.
This cold and cold someone spread that early in the morning it was said that the eldest princess came to Zhuangzi to take a look, and this news really scared Hu Laohan, thinking what is the situation in this year? Is it something wrong with what you do?
Hu Laohan's side of several capable Zhuangzi stewards were also uneasy, and it was rare to hear that the master came directly to Zhuangzi, and it was so sudden.
The old man called his son in a panic to ask if there was anything wrong, but Hu Laohan's son was also surprised when he heard the news, and when he asked, he didn't know what he knew, saying that he only knew that it was the last two days, and he was going to pay the accounts, but the princess suddenly came, which really made people feel a little panicked.
After thinking about it, Hu Laohan felt that he would talk about it after seeing it, and when the time came, the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth.
"Dad, you see you're nervous, our family is an old man in the Zhuangzi, and it's not an unknown family, we are all in the government to do the deed steward's house, besides, this Zhuangzi has been making a living here since my grandfather's time, and now we are in the hands of our family to take on the responsibility of stewardship, which has been three generations, is there anything else to worry about? What's the big deal, you're just scaring yourself. Hu Laohan's son really didn't understand if his father was too panicked.
"You kid, you know what a fart! Is this a joke? That's a big deal! You know? Hu Laohan was worried.
You know, there were such examples in the imperial city before, the master of a certain family disliked his own family's Zhuang head management of the society, and suddenly proposed to change people, that kind of occasion is not good-looking, when the time comes, his family will not stay in the Zhuangzi, and it is not to go, and to live under the new steward, that day is very ugly.
The more Hu Laohan thought about it, the more nervous he became, and he became more and more anxious for a long time, and after he came, he met someone who came to ask for fluorite, and Hu Laohan had an idea in his heart at that time.
If you continue to leave this fluorite and put it on the Zhuangzi, it will be remembered sooner or later, and you will feel like it is up and down when you think about it.
Besides, the matter of fluorite has been a matter of mind for so many years, and no one has mentioned it for so many years, Princess Rhubarb, I met someone who mentioned it today, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or someone else arranged, Hu Laohan planned to wait for the time to send Concubine Rhubarb away today, and proposed to take the fluorite away directly, saving this Laoshzi in this Zhuangzi, although it is said to be a baby, but for himself, the matter of fluorite is always a big thought.
"Daddy, what do you want?" At this time, he was in the kitchen, looking at Hu Laohan and starting to be in a daze for a while, Hu Laohan's son asked on the side.
"It's okay, what's this, here's everything, how are you preparing these dishes?" Where would Hu Laohan tell his son about these plans in his heart, these things are all things that adults think about, Hu Laohan still doesn't want his son to worry about this kind of thing now, Hu Laohan's son is still too young, Hu Laohan is worried that he will not pay attention for a while, in case there is any omission in front of the princess and show any flaws, it will not be good.
"Take care of the dishes in the kitchen, don't let them make anything unsuitable!" Hu Laohan instructed his son.
"These are common dishes, and there are no expensive ingredients, Daddy, do you really want to prepare these? It won't be too expensive and it seems that we are not sincere enough, and besides, the princess said that she just had to eat something, but it was the princess, and she hadn't seen anything in the world at ordinary times, let's take these game, mountain treasures, although you can head the ball, but you still have to prepare some valuable ingredients, it's better, we bought some bird's nest and deer antler velvet before, but I think these can be used. Hu Laohan's son wondered if it would be too simple to just prepare those ordinary dishes.
"What do you know, it's home-cooked, home-cooked, what do ordinary people eat? Can ordinary people eat so finely? said that it is because of the eldest princess and the second princess are people who have seen the world, so they don't bring those good things to enjoy it. Hu Laohan felt that his son was really not smart enough, and he felt a little disgusted.
"Yes, yes, Daddy's lesson is that these meals still seem a little poor." Hu Laohan's son said again.
"You baby really are! Unteachable! What delicacies and seafood do we really prepare, all kinds of valuable ingredients, what do you make the rhubarb princess think? She will think that how much daily expenses are in our Zhuangzi, how can ordinary villagers prepare these things, then when the time comes, how do you say that our two brothers have joined forces to embezzle, or that it is in Zhuangzi, so that the accounts are all fake, but how can I rest assured that I will hand over the things in this Zhuangzi to you after doing things. "Hu Laohan is really helpless about what his son's head thinks of.
"Probably, like, I just think, let's take this kind of food, will we be disgusted by the princess, what if we feel that we are not capable of doing it when the time comes, besides, we are originally loyal to our duties, Zhuangzi's harvest over the years is very good, no one can find out what we are not, why worry so much, I think this is too cautious, and what happened at the door just now, will you be too impatient, Daddy, will you be too impatient, in case that maid her master has a good relationship with the eldest princess, Have we not offended people? Hu Laohan's son was reluctant to admit that his ideas were incorrect.
