Chapter 115: Hold the Field
When the villagers heard the name of Qianfu, they were not in a hurry to grab meat and vegetables, and they all began to discuss whether it was the old lady of Qianfu they knew.
Bai Ling walked quickly to the door, and saw that the old lady Qian was being helped by walnuts to walk into the yard, and there were several small servants holding gift boxes behind him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
If you look closely, you will find that the corners of Bai Ling's mouth twitch slightly.
The previous few came and gave a lot of congratulatory gifts, but they were relatively practical, but they were more expensive in the eyes of the farmers.
The proprietor of Hongtai Silver Building also sent a congratulatory gift, but it was given by the shopkeeper Shen in the form of a silver ticket, and it was not known to outsiders.
But the gift box held by the old lady Qian's little servant is worth a few taels of silver alone, isn't it too eye-catching?
And the old lady Qian came to congratulate him in person, which is what the Qian Mansion means by saying that he wants to cover the three rooms of the Bai family.
"The old lady came here, just to give face to the girl, why do you still bring these old things? Aren't you afraid that the girl won't be able to return the gift? Bai Ling blessed his body, stepped forward to make a gesture of please, and walked in with Old Lady Qian.
"Hmph, you're embarrassed to say. Now that I'm capable, I forget about my old bones, and I don't want to take the time to see me! After leaving so many recipes, I was tired of eating them, and my stomach was thin. Today, your family has a banquet, but I want to have a good meal, or I won't leave, anyway, I have a place to live. Old lady Qian said with a cocked beard.
"It's impossible to eat happily, but it's good to eat fresh. There is a vacant house in my house, but the old lady is sure to stay, won't Master Qian and Mrs. Qian come to pick you up? Bai Ling covered his mouth and chuckled, and before Old Lady Qian got angry, he hurriedly said: "I'll decorate some snacks for you later, and add two recipes, okay?" ”
Seeing that Old Lady Qian's eyes were rolling, Bai Ling hurriedly added: "Don't bargain, or there will be nothing." ”
"Deal." Old lady Qian didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders, so she nodded in agreement, waved her hand and gestured to the walnut.
"Congratulations to the white girl on her housewarming, the old lady specially prepared a congratulatory gift. A set of four treasures of the study, five horses of various colors of silk, a pair of blue and white porcelain vases, and fifty taels of congratulations. Mrs. also ordered the little one to bring a congratulatory gift to the white girl, a set of the latest style of silver head noodles in Hongtai Silver Building, two fashionable silk satin horses in Fucheng, a set of teapots in the official kiln, and twenty taels of He Yi. Walnut opened her throat and sang aloud.
When large families hold banquets, there are special people who receive gifts and record and sing harmony.
But the etiquette of the peasant family is small, although there are also people who write gift accounts, but where can they recognize these things, they are afraid of breaking them and dare not accept them, so Walnut himself came.
Bai Ling was stunned, this congratulatory gift was more than what the old lady gave when she saved Qian.
Is it because of the contact for most of the year, which can be regarded as friendship?
Or is Sanfang now prosperous, and Qian Fu intends to show goodwill?
No matter which one it is, Bai Ling must accept it, if he provokes the Qian family in Wufu Town, the trouble behind him is indispensable.
Even if the Duan family is behind to deal with the aftermath, the process is always unpleasant.
"Thank you for the old lady's love, please also convey it to Mrs., and after a while, Bai Ling will come to the door again to thank you." Bai Ling smiled at the kindness of the Qian Mansion, and didn't care what the villagers commented, so he led people to the East House.
Naturally, these things will also be sent to the East House, so that they will not be harmed by others.
The appearance of Old Lady Qian made Bai Dashu in the hall unable to sit still, and hinted several times that Bai Sanshu had come to entertain VIPs, but Bai Sanshu never heard it.
"Those are all distinguished guests that the second girl has acquainted, and I don't know what to say when I go, but everyone is uncomfortable, so I still can't go." Bai Sanshu scratched his head and smiled very honestly.
"You don't know what to say, I know!" Bai Dashu just wanted to speak, but the village chief took the first step, so he didn't have a chance to speak.
"Sanshu is right, those guests are coming for the white spirit girl, let the girl entertain herself. If you offend a distinguished guest, it is not good. I've heard people say that the money house has a lot of origin, and even if you go to the county, you can eat well. But Qian Fu rarely deals with people, and no one knows the temperament of this old lady Qian. When the village chief spoke, he deliberately glanced at Bai Dashu.
Bai Dashu's face suddenly sank, and he was very dissatisfied with the village chief's warning, but he couldn't help but listen to it.
There are naturally advantages and disadvantages to being able to tie up with the Qian Mansion, but once you offend, it is not because Bai Dashu can eat the sin.
At least the relationship between the third room and the old mansion is good if you don't step on it, Bai Dashu doesn't dare to expect Bai Ling to help him say good things.
On the East House side, no one knows about what someone wants to do, and if they do, they won't care, because they won't pay attention to it at all.
"Girl, your hot pot is better than the hot pot restaurant opened by the Duan family, go back and make two packs of base ingredients for me to bring, this spicy taste is really delicious." After Mrs. Qian sat down, she also exchanged a few words of greeting with everyone, but after eating the hot pot, she forgot to scruple about her image.
Bai Ling looked at the posture of the old lady Qian speechlessly, poured a cup of hawthorn tea, and refused: "When the old lady wants to eat, let someone bring a message, and I will make it for the old lady." However, this spicy thing is not suitable for eating more, especially God's body, eating too much will accumulate anger, don't be bitter when the time comes. ”
Old lady Qian was eating on her head, dissatisfied with Bai Ling's words, so she widened her eyes and said, "You girl, can't you make me happy?" Can't bear to ask you for a few hot pot bases? If you make a price, I can't buy it? ”
"The old lady has to say that, and it's not impossible to sell you the base material. But Mrs. Qian nodded, otherwise I wouldn't dare to do this business. Bai Ling was not afraid of Old Lady Qian's temper at all, and insisted on not giving it.
The elderly are not suitable for eating too much stimulating food, and Bai Ling will not regress.
And the Bai family's hot pot is delicious, and it has something to do with the spiritual spring water, and it is impossible for the Duan family restaurant to do better than this.
Mrs. Qian pointed at Bai Ling angrily for a while, but she no longer mentioned the bottom material.
Although Mrs. Qian is a daughter-in-law, she treats Mrs. Qian like her father, and she is Mrs. Qian's niece, and Mrs. Qian will never give in on some things.
Mrs. Qian knew that her daughter-in-law was filial, and she didn't want to be stiff.
One old and one young are bickering, but the others have fewer words, and they eat a lot while watching the excitement.
Fortunately, Bai Ling was well prepared, so there was no empty table.
"Bai Ling, you are too unparticular, and you don't let people notify me to try the new base when you research a new base, do you have such a partner?" Duan Yulang took his robe and sat down, and hurriedly instructed the little servant to prepare dishes and chopsticks for him, "This is a gift list, can you be satisfied with it?" If you don't like it, I'll ask you to prepare a new one. ”
Duan Yulang and Ouyang Xun were led into the East House by Bai Wei, and the gifts were naturally sent directly.
It's just that the two of them are relatively low-key, and they don't let people sing the gift list, so as not to cause trouble to the third room.
"Actually, it's more practical for you to send money directly, you also know the personnel situation of our family, so many good things, I'm really afraid that someone will worry about it." Bai Ling glanced at the gift list and put it in his sleeve pocket.
The Duan family is the richest man in Zixiao City, and he is a partner with Bai Ling, so the congratulatory gifts brought by Duan Yulang are valuable.
