Chapter 12 The Dog's Eyes Look Down on People
In ancient times, there were no electric juicers, and the juice had to be squeezed by hand.
In order to ensure the freshness of the materials, Jin Se deliberately went to West Street to buy materials on the first day of the birthday banquet, looking at the two large frames of oranges on the ground, Jin Se wiped the sweat on his head.
Well, foreign aid is needed!
Zhou Zimu was called to help, and everyone sat around the small courtyard washing oranges and preparing to make juice.
"What is this?" Qian Bao pointed to the strange thing in Jin Se's hand. Like a cup, there is a protruding semi-circular ball on the top, and the ball is covered with small holes.
"It's called a juice cup. Used for juicing. Jinse took out a washed orange and cut it in half with a knife. She placed half of it on top of the juice cup and squeezed it hard.
It took her a long time to squeeze out a little bit. The effect was so-so, with 60 bottles of juice to squeeze. At this rate, she needs to be faster.
"I'll do it anyway." Zhou Zimu took the initiative to take over the manual work. His strength was much greater than that of Jinse, and in a short time he had squeezed a bottle of juice.
Three people wash, one cut, one squeeze, the division of labor is careful and efficient.
Busy from day to night, when Yang Po came to deliver chicken soup to Jin Se, sixty bottles of juice had just been made.
"Jinse girl, I'm tired. Come and have some soup. Yang Po served a bowl of soup.
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Jin Se handed the chicken soup to Zhou Zimu, "Brother Zhou, you drink it first." Zhou Zimu took the chicken soup and took a sip.
After a tiring day, it was such a blessing to have soup to drink.
"Mother-in-law, I still want it." Qian Bao just drank a bowl and wanted to drink it. "Okay, drink slowly." Yang Po filled him again.
It turned out that Yang Po's son worked in the Qian family, and the Qian family specially gave the people a holiday to celebrate Mrs. Qian's birthday.
Yang Po made a big pot of chicken soup for her son, and sent it to Jinse.
"Shopkeeper, when will you have a holiday?" Qian Bao heard that others were on vacation, so he asked Jinse.
Jin Se drank chicken soup: "It's not easy to have a holiday, and you will have a day off tomorrow for your mother's birthday." Go out early and buy your mother a gift. ”
Qian Bao said uneasily: "Don't you want someone to help transport things tomorrow?" ”
"Why don't I help tomorrow?" Zhou Zimu interjected.
"It's okay, I'll take the cake myself. I'll just take care of the juice and deliver it in a car. "Jinse has a lot of confidence in himself.
Brother Zhou Zimu has been busy for a day, and how embarrassing it is to ask him to help tomorrow, it's not a few boxes of juice, she thought to herself.
She was so confident in herself that she was quickly slapped in the face the next day.
On the day of Mrs. Qian's birthday banquet, Qian Bao went out early.
Jinse called an ox cart, and she was going to carry the juice to the cart.
It's just that she underestimated the amount of sixty bottles of juice, and the sixty bottles of juice were packed into boxes by her. The weight of a box is not light.
There were five boxes here, and when the third box was moved. She had no strength left, so she had to hold on to the box tightly and lift it with her legs to keep it from falling.
The box was dusty on the ground, rubbing her body. It's dirty, I'm afraid of staining the cake. She hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, her hands were clean, but she couldn't wipe off her body.
It was not easy for the driver to see that she was alone, so he helped move the remaining two boxes.
Jin Se carefully carried the large food box, which contained the cake.
The ox cart drove all the way to the Qian Mansion on East Street, which is said to be the largest mansion in Yangcheng.
The delivery has to go through the back door, and the back door of the Qian Mansion is closed. There were four guards standing at the door, who were in charge of guarding.
One of them saw Jinse's ox cart stop and stepped forward to ask questions.
"Who? What's on the car? ”
"I'm the shopkeeper of a tavern, and the car is carrying the juice of the best in the house. Collect the goods immediately. ”
The guards looked Jin Se up and down, and saw that she was dressed ordinarily, and she didn't seem to have martial arts. That's when he went in to report.
Soon a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi walked out of the door, with the best lake blue satin on his body. Holding a list of goods for the birthday banquet in his hand.
He threw his head back and shouted to the guards, "There is a tavern, sixty bottles of juice, and one cake." Who's that, go and order something. ”
One of the guards stood up to count the goods, and after carefully counting them, he replied, "Steward Guo, sixty bottles of juice are here, and the cake is intact." ”
"Well, sign." Steward Guo handed the list to the guards and asked Jin Se to sign it.
Jin Se Long Fei Feng Dance signed his name. The money steward took the booklet, looked at the ugly words on the booklet, and turned it into silver.
"Such an ugly word, and the body is dirty, I'm afraid it's not a country girl." His voice was not small, but he was listened to by Jin Se.
Jin Se was depressed, she was a modern person because she couldn't write calligraphy, and she was looked down upon in ancient times.
The guard took the cake from Jinse's hand, and Jinse, who was not at ease, hurriedly said that he must be careful. The ox cart entered through the back door, and Jin Se wanted to inquire about the news.
"Don't stand stupid, where to come. The gate of the Qian Mansion has been standing for a long time by people like you. Steward Guo sneered.
Jin Se was angry in his heart, isn't it just that the words are ugly, why do you look down on people.
The guards stepped forward to catch up, and Jinse was pushed several steps away.
"Let's go, what's the big deal!" Jin Se originally wanted to inquire about the birthday banquet. Now that they were all driven away, she turned around and was about to leave.
"What are you guys doing?" A familiar voice sounded, and Qian Bao walked out.
He recognized Jin Se at a glance: "Shopkeeper, I'm looking for you." How do you want to go? ”
"I've been kicked out, so don't hurry up." Jin Se stood there puffing up.
When Steward Guo saw that it was the young master, he immediately changed his face: "How can the little young master alarm you, if you have any orders, the little one will do it." ”
"Are you ** sick again, this is my honored guest. It's not your turn to look at people low! ”
Qian Bao pointed to Steward Guo's nose and said, "Don't think that if you are my wet nurse's son, I won't punish you." Be rude to others, deduct one month's salary! One more time, get out of the money mansion by yourself. ”
"Yes, yes, the little ones don't dare." Steward Guo didn't expect that he was used to showing off his might in the Qian Mansion, and today he kicked the iron plate.
Qian Bao walked up to Jin Se and said, "Let's go, let's go, my lord will show you how big my family is." ”
He dragged Jin Se into the Qian Mansion, pavilions and green trees. For the first time, Jin Se really felt the living life of the rich people in ancient times.
Damn, this is where you need to go. Everyone else lives in a big mansion with a noble family, and I am a broken tavern.
Jin Se looked enviously at the big stage in the distance, when will I have a big mansion like this.
Qian Bao took Jin Se to Mrs. Qian, and Mrs. Qian patted Jin Se's hand and thanked her again and again.
"I can't control anyone in my family, but since he went to you, it's a different person. I'm so grateful. ”
Mrs. Qian saw that Jinse's clothes were stained, and she offered to take Jinse to change her clothes.
Jin Se was surrounded by several maids and fiddled with her hair and clothes.
The beauty in this mirror, Jin Se couldn't believe that this person was himself. Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold makeup. Just change your clothes, dress up well and become a different person.
Since coming to ancient times, Jin Se can't comb his hair in a bun, so he can only use a wooden hairpin to coil it casually. It's the first time I've dressed up so formally.
The gold-edged sky blue gauze skirt is embroidered with peony flowers, each of which is made of gold thread. The gold bracelet on the wrist is the size of a thumb, and the hairpin on the head is made of gold and set with gemstones.
I can pay off my debts by taking one of these things out of my body. Jin Se thought sadly, but unfortunately none of them were my own.
"Isn't it beautiful to dress up like this?" Mrs. Qian smiled, "Let's go, Xiaobao should be in a hurry." ”
Qian Bao had been waiting in the courtyard for a while, and was a little surprised to see Jin Se's dress with tea: "Shopkeeper, your clothes are so beautiful." ”
When Mrs. Qian took Jinse to the garden, it was already full of people. Except for Mrs. Qian's eldest son, who was studying in Dijing City, all the people in Yangcheng came here.
Male and female guests were taken to the sides of the garden, where birthday cakes were placed on a table in the middle of the garden.
Zhou Zimu is also here, he was brought by Governor Zhao. He was also a little surprised when he saw the new Jinse.
This girl is not making a delivery, why is she dressed up?
When he saw the brightly dressed Qian Bao also coming over, he realized that this Qian Bao was probably the child in the richest man's mansion. Jinse was also invited over.
Jin Se and Mrs. Qian sat together, and through the curtain she saw Zhou Zimu opposite. She secretly beckoned to Zhou Zimu, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Zimu eats vegetables, but the chef of Qianfu was specially invited from Dijing City. The average person can't eat it. "Governor Zhao kept giving Zhou Zimu vegetables.
"You're welcome, I'll clip it myself."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Looking at Zhou Zimu's slow eating, Zhao Zhifu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When I rescued him, I knew by looking at his face that he had an extraordinary temperament and was not an ordinary person, and I didn't expect that he had something to do with the regent.
Before leaving Yangcheng, the regent deliberately found the prefect of Zhao and instructed him to take care of Zhou Zimu.
If Zhou Zimu has a bad pool, he doesn't have to continue to be an official. Governor Zhao now completely treats Zhou Zimu as an ancestor.
Master Qian intends to help Jin Se improve his reputation. He introduced to everyone in a loud voice: "Today, everyone gathers together to celebrate my wife's birthday. I would especially like to thank Miss Zhuang for coming. ”
"Recently, Miss Zhuang's tavern is very famous. I heard that the juice at the birthday party came from her tavern. ”
Everyone echoed Qian Guangren's words, you must know that Boss Qian is the vane of Yangcheng. If he fancies anyone, he will be the man of the year in Yangcheng.
Jin Se was a little embarrassed to be stared at by such a person: "My tavern has just started in Yangcheng, so take care of your friends." She raised her glass and took a sip, trying to hide her embarrassment, but she choked on the wine and coughed all the time.
"Shopkeeper, you better drink juice." Qian Bao poured her another glass.
Who can tell her how the glass is wine and not water.
The birthday banquet was a success, and Mrs. Qian made a wish and blew out the candles under the guidance of Jin Se. became the first person in the entire Yangcheng to eat a birthday cake.
Mrs. Qian was very happy, and she generously gave Jin Se the set of gold silk clothes that Jin Se was wearing.
The latter is flattered, is this how to make friends with the richest man's family.
And Qian Bao was left at home by Mrs. Qian and did not return to Youjia Tavern.
Jin Se was busy again.
