Chapter 150
"The lord of Showa personally cooks and prepares the banquet?"
After Xie Zhan heard the news, his brows furrowed tightly.
What's going on here?
As far as he knows, Mingxiu has nothing to do with the Rongguo Mansion, what can make Mingxiu have such a self-depraved identity?
The Rongguo Mansion is an old aristocrat in the desert, these people have always acted arrogantly, and they can't do things that oppress people with power.
Although Ming Ji has not been open for a long time, in terms of quality, it can be called the first in the capital.
is not only because of Mingxiu's name as the county lord, but also because of his own strength.
The people who wanted to help Mingji prepare for the banquet were like carp crossing the river, but Mingji didn't agree to any of them.
Even Mingxiu himself once said that if there was no accident, he would not get involved in that matter.
Now Xie Zhan had to doubt the actions of the Rongguo Mansion.
"Let's also go and take a look at the wedding banquet of the fifth lady of the Rongguo Mansion."
Xie Zhan was about to get up as he spoke, but was stopped by the strategist beside him.
"Master, we didn't get an invitation."
"So what?"
He is polite on weekdays, but if he wants to go, there is nothing he can't go to in this capital.
Could it be that the Rongguo Mansion will still drive him out?
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, the strategist couldn't help but sigh again and again, putting Mingxiu at the level of the demon queen of the country.
"My subordinates are going to see the congratulatory gifts."
Rongguo Mansion.
Rong Guogong's youngest daughter is married, and this matter is not big or small in the capital.
That is the youngest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, and she is married to the most promising and youngest pavilion family in the court, whether it is the one who received the invitation or not, there are many people who come to congratulate her.
On such a happy day, even if he was caught off guard, the Rongguo Mansion did not rush out of the house.
Duchess Rongguo had to hurriedly ask people to go to the back kitchen to spread the word.
"Mother, this situation is a little too tiring for the Showa County Lord today." The young lady of the Rongguo Mansion, Xu, felt that it was inappropriate after knowing that the Showa County Lord was holding a banquet in their house, and now this situation is even more indescribable.
Duchess Rongguo didn't expect such a situation, or she thought of it, but she didn't reserve a hand in advance, and wanted to see Mingxiu's ability.
There was no dark thought in my heart.
But the situation at this time is a little more unexpected.
No one expected Xie Zhan to come suddenly, and his arrival attracted some people who didn't plan to come to the door and only sent congratulatory gifts to send people in a hurry.
Not to mention Mingxiu in the back, even the people in the Rongguo Mansion who were entertaining guests in front of him were a little too busy.
It's not big or small, it's not small.
If it doesn't do well, not only will her little daughter make people laugh, but the regent will also think that they are deliberately embarrassing Mingxiu.
Thinking of the possible consequences, Duchess Rongguo gritted her teeth.
"Send twenty more young men to the back to help, let people keep an eye on it, if anyone dares to disobey the county lord's dispatch, they won't use it to reply to me, just cut their tongue and hair and sell it, no matter who it is!" After giving instructions to the grandmother beside her, she looked at her daughter-in-law again, "Deal with today's affairs first, and when the matter is over, you will personally bring gifts to the Lord of Showa to make amends." ”
They were all shocked by this, not to mention Mingxiu, who came from the people, and it stands to reason that they haven't seen many big scenes.
"Yes."
……
Although Mingxiu was a little surprised by the constant return in front of him, he didn't rush too much.
She had already arranged the basics, and the dim sum had started yesterday afternoon, and she had been made for two hundred people, and now she could hold on for a while.
And the dishes......
How many of the people who came to the wedding banquet really came for dinner?
She decided on the spot to divide the prepared dish into two portions and rearrange it.
The presentation is beautiful and the taste is not bad, who cares if the portion of the dish is solid or not?
In this case, the banquet only needs to look good, and the high-end is.
After making such a decision, the back kitchen's movements were obviously much faster, Mingxiu only needed to give some pointers on the side, and then watch the cooks of the Rongguo Mansion who helped with the chores put on the plate.
She often just needs to demonstrate, and these people can do a good job.
Seeing that those cooks were all written on their faces, it turned out to be like this.
Myeongsu had to admit that his vanity was greatly satisfied.
"County lord, there are two quarters of an hour before the feast." Sanniang was sweating profusely, but the smile on her face was unprecedentedly bright.
If Mingxiu hadn't brought them here, she was afraid that she would never have seen such a big family banquet in her life.
After Ming's mother taught her cooking skills and took her to the restaurant to cook, Sanniang had an indescribable ambition in her heart.
At this moment, it happened to coincide with the ambition in her heart.
Don't mention the gratitude to Mingxiu.
Seeing the flickering light in Sanniang's eyes, Mingxiu's heart moved slightly.
Sanniang urged a few more times, how many people were waiting for Mingxiu to give an order.
"Are you ready?"
"Only some of the big dishes are still barely hot, and most of them are about the same."
The work efficiency is not bad.
Mingxiu bowed slightly, "Serve the appetizers first, and those big dishes will wait a little longer." ”
The presentation of the cold dishes was almost done, and Ming Xiu ordered it, and the errands of the Rongguo Mansion moved quickly.
The table in front of them is set up, and when they serve the appetizers, the guests are seated.
Mingxiu took over the work of the Rongguo Mansion, and this matter has been spread all over the circle of the nobles of the capital.
At this time, many people actually came to try the craftsmanship of the Showa County Lord.
A large part of them are not as high as Ming Xiu, and if they miss today, it is very likely that they will not be able to taste the craftsmanship of the county lord for the rest of their lives.
In addition to being curious, he was disdainful of Mingxiu's "self-depraved" behavior.
After all, in the hearts of most people, the honor of the county lord should be pampered at home and do his part when the dynasty needs it.
For example, with a kiss or something.
After all, the emperor said before he named Mingxiu as the county lord that he would give the title of the girl and princess that the second prince fancied, and many people felt that the emperor had the intention of giving Mingxiu, the grassroots county lord from the people, to the second prince of the Southern Dynasty as a concubine.
Of course, the status of people who think like this is not too high.
After all, anyone with a little vision can see that Mingxiu has such talent and contribution, and it is impossible for the emperor to send such a person to the Southern Dynasties.
Sending Mingxiu out, doesn't it mean sending out the Quyuan plough and the method of raising the soil?
So what's the use of them hiding it so tightly now?
Not to mention whether the emperor is so stupid, it is impossible for them, ministers, or even Xie Zhan, to agree.
Of course, acknowledging Mingxiu's contribution does not mean that they are acknowledging Mingxiu's behavior of self-deprecation.
Many of the people who came to the banquet today are women from the back house, and these ladies had thought about Mingxiu when he was named the county lord, so that the son of the family who did not need to inherit the family property married Mingxiu, so that he had dignity and dignity, and did not lose his own face.
But as soon as Mingxiu came out today to make an appearance, maybe the idea of marrying Mingxiu did not disappear, but the candidate immediately changed from the second son to the son of a concubine or a side branch.
Many ladies from your family are quietly laughing at and looking down on Mingxiu, but all this has nothing to do with the Rongguo Mansion.
They were able to invite the lord of Showa County to work for the wedding banquet of the princess, which directly illustrated their ability, and faintly, the Rongguo Mansion left a deep impression in the hearts of the magnates in the capital.
This is exactly what the Duchess of Rongguo wants to achieve.
Xie Zhan watched all this happen, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, "Mingxiu, this stupid girl, always makes wedding clothes for others. ”
He knew that even if Mingxiu knew all this, she wouldn't necessarily take it to heart, she only wanted to do business, and now the identity of the county lord could make her business better, the price would be higher, and it would be too late to be happy, where would she pay attention to those people who ridiculed her for surrendering her identity?
Nothing went wrong with the banquet...... If Mingxiu was laughed at, it wouldn't be a mistake.
After the dishes were served, Xie Zhan ignored those people who came to greet him openly and secretly, and went straight to the back kitchen.
Mingxiu didn't know where to go, and Liusanniang was arguing with a middle-aged woman.
"Our county lord doesn't know how noble, where can someone like you talk nonsense?!"
Sanniang's face turned red, and she stared at the woman in front of her and wanted to go up and bite her.
"If the county lord is really noble, how can he work with us people? Those who dine in front of you are serious nobles! I don't think the county lord is much more noble than us people, do you know what a cook is? The cooks are all the ninth rate who serve people! Whose noble lady will show up outside to do business? It's a shame to die, if we want such a girl to come out of our family, Mrs. will be killed early! ”
The woman is not afraid of Sanniang, in her opinion, even if the lord of Showa County has been valued by the emperor recently? That's not even a finger of their girl's miss!
Their Rongguo Mansion is the real feather and glory of punching and kicking their heads on the waistband of their trousers!
I don't know where the county lord came out of nowhere, and he doesn't even deserve to be treated well by these subordinates!
If it weren't for Madame's insistence, where would they be so honest with Mingxiu's work?
The third lady is very angry, but there is really no way to take this woman.
After all, now that she is in the Rongguo Mansion, it would be a shame for Mingxiu if she made a fight and made trouble.
Originally, today's things Mingxiu has been looked down upon, if the people around him still don't understand the rules, wouldn't they be embarrassed?
"No matter how the county lord is, he is the county lord of the imperial court, you look down on the county lord like this, don't you think that the saint knows no one today?" The egret followed Mingxiu back, just in time to hear the last sentence of this woman, to deal with such a woman, there was no need for Mingxiu to speak in person, she looked at her condescendingly, "You are afraid that you are an inferior servant woman who does not have such great courage, maybe this is the meaning of the Rongguo Mansion?" ”
Mingxiu bowed his head at the right time, "Then I have to go and talk to Duchess Rongguo, since I can't look down on it, why invite me to come?" I don't know how many restaurants in the city can make banquets, so why bother. ”
In fact, now that Mingxiu has realized that she was being used as a gunman, she didn't care about it originally.
Doing business, pay attention to both silver and goods, she did a good job, and the Rongguo Mansion also paid the due money, and the rest don't care, this is what serious business looks like.
But it doesn't mean that she will be looked down and slandered at will.
Mingxiu never felt that there was anything embarrassing about doing business, but her ideas were contrary to the current environment, so it was certain to be slandered.
I didn't see that when I didn't make trouble in front of her, it was treated as if nothing happened, but now the people who slandered her are quarreling with the people around her, if she doesn't defend Sanniang, won't it make the people in front of her think she is incompetent?
This is not conducive to gathering people's hearts.
"Our lady doesn't know how respectful she is to the county lord, and the county lord can't wronged people."
"Then you are disrespectful to the lord of this county, this is not wronged, right?" She looked around, and the person should have been written down, and said, "The lord of this county is going to ask the Duchess of Rongguo, the subordinates of your mansion are so frivolous, and the masters must treat them respectfully, how dare the subordinates be disrespectful?" ”
The servant woman saw that Mingxiu really wanted to sue, and hurriedly wanted to stop her.
As the lady said before, if someone dares to disobey and disrespect the county lord, he will immediately cut off his tongue and sell it.
She originally thought that the county lord who came out of the village would be flustered when he saw their formation, even if they did something rude, Mingxiu would not be able to define it and complain.
Who knew that this county lord really had such courage.
"This king will go with you."
Seeing Mingxiu appear, Xie Zhan didn't listen anymore, stepped forward and glanced at her with a smile, and frowned when his eyes fell on the servant, as if he had seen something dirty.
"This king has seen the upbringing of the Rongguo Mansion today."
