Chapter Ninety-Eight: Making a Big Buck
"The old lady agreed to raise it by another two taels of silver."
Mama Jiang said, and walked towards the backyard with Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang followed, and was soon taken by her to an ordinary back room.
Qin Xiang looked at it slightly, and guessed that this room must be where the Jiang family's subordinates lived.
Mama Jiang handed Qin Xiang a set of light blue cotton clothes, and after urging her to change into them, she hurried to the kitchen.
After Qin Xiang quickly changed his clothes, he folded his clothes, and then was led towards the kitchen.
The two of them quickly walked to the door of the large kitchen, and there were indeed a lot of ingredients and spices in the kitchen.
Qin Xiang nodded with satisfaction, and after being urged by Mama Jiang to clean her hands, Mama Jiang finally left.
Qin Xiang closed the kitchen door, moved his muscles, and quickly processed all the mutton, chicken, and duck meat.
Once everything is ready, it's time to start cooking.
When it was close to noon, Mama Jiang knocked on the door outside, urging Qin Xiang to ask if the dish was ready.
Qin Xiang had just finished the last dish, so he simply wiped his hands and said, "Come in, the dishes are ready." ”
After Mama Jiang heard this, she pushed the door and walked in and looked towards the kitchen table.
I saw that there were eight dishes and two soups on the kitchen table at this time, and they were all dishes that she had never seen before.
However, Mama Jiang is a person who has seen the world, and after being slightly surprised, she beckoned two maids in.
She stood next to her and let the two maids take a bite of the dishes one by one.
After these maids finished tasting it, they nodded at Mama Jiang, and Mama Jiang ordered someone to bring out all the dishes.
"Hurry up and prepare dinner."
After Mama Jiang threw a word to Qin Xiang, she turned around and left.
Qin Xiang nodded, but he didn't care much, but first got himself a bowl of mutton soup, and ate a bowl of rice with mutton soup.
After eating, she found a corner to rest for a while, anyway, it was still early for dinner.
She stopped here, but she didn't know that the old lady in the front hall had a flash of gleam in her eyes after eating a bite of Dongpo meat that she usually felt tired.
The distinguished guest was even more attracted by the dishes, and was stunned to eat a lot more than usual.
After the two of them finished eating, the distinguished guest felt that the trip was worthwhile, even if it was for the sake of food in the small county town.
When Qin Xiang made the dinner for the evening, Mama Jiang's attitude suddenly became much kinder than before.
"Qin Niangzi, the old lady asked if you could help us cook food for six more days, and the salary would be calculated according to five taels of silver a day."
When Mama Jiang spoke, she couldn't help but look Qin Xiang up and down.
Even the best chef in this county cooks for a day at the house, and he can't earn five taels of silver, this Qin lady is a strange person.
Qin Xiang naturally didn't want to be unhappy, there was an income of five taels of silver on this day, and thirty-five taels on seven days, which was almost enough to catch up with her monthly income.
"Naturally, with such a high salary, how can anyone not be happy."
Qin Xiang nodded hurriedly and said, now is not the time to be polite.
Seeing this, Mama Jiang nodded and beckoned the little maid to take Qin Xiang's original clothes back: "This dress on your body will be given to you, this is your thing." ”
"Thank you for keeping it for me."
Qin Xiang smiled, and after taking the clothes, he was led by the little maid and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
As soon as she walked to the gate of the mansion, she saw Han Yunxiao sitting on the ox cart, waiting for her with two small balls.
Seeing this, she hurriedly ran out, sat on the ox cart, and urged Han Yunxiao to hurry away.
"How?"
Han Yunxiao looked at Qin Xiang and seemed to be in a good mood, as if he was relieved and asked.
"Not bad."
Qin Xiang told her that she would come to Jiang's house to cook in the next few days.
"My mother is so powerful, she can earn so much money at once."
After hearing this, Han Tongtong flashed his big eyes and exclaimed excitedly.
Qin Xiang was looked at by her big black eyes, couldn't help blushing a little, touched her head and said modestly: "I just know how to cook some special dishes, it's not worth it." ”
"You don't have to be modest, even the chef of the best restaurant in the county is not as good as the food you cook."
Han Yunxiao shook his head, and also looked at Qin Xiang a little strangely, when Qin Xiang first passed the door, he never refused to cook.
He didn't know that Qin Xiang still had such a good cooking skill, and he really couldn't learn the ability of others.
Qin Xiang touched her nose in embarrassment, she naturally wouldn't tell Han Yunxiao that she learned all these cooking skills in modern times.
The four of them were silent for a while, and after they got home, Qin Xiang was busy cooking for the big and small.
She had already finished eating herself, and when she thought that she would earn dozens of taels of silver in the next week, she was in a very good mood, so she unconsciously hummed a little song.
In the next three days, Qin Xiang went to Jiang's house to cook, although the people of the Jiang family looked very arrogant, but they still kept their promises, and gave her a lot of silver every day.
"The old lady's spleen and stomach are not very good, and she doesn't like to eat things that are too sour, do you know some nutritious and delicious food?"
On the morning of the fourth day, when Qin Xiang had just finished washing his hands and was about to make breakfast, he heard Mama Jiang ask.
"Do you have milk in your house? I'll make a milk pie, and the old lady will like it. ”
Qin Xiang thought for a moment, and then turned to ask Mama Jiang.
"Wait a minute, I'll let you take it!"
Mama Jiang nodded, and hurriedly beckoned a maid to prepare.
Seeing this, Qin Xiang didn't say much, and after seeing Mama Jiang leave, he began to prepare to get up early.
When she had finished the staples, she heard the door being pushed open and there was a sound of footsteps, which she thought was the little maid who had come to deliver milk.
So he didn't raise his head and said, "Just put it over there, I'll use it later." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, then put his things down, and did not leave, but dragged a chair and sat next to him.
Qin Xiang couldn't help frowning, she had said before that she would clear the scene when she was cooking, and not let people be around, how could this person not follow the rules?
She frowned and turned her head to look, and when she saw the person who came, she couldn't help but be stunned, the person in front of her was wearing a lake-blue robe embroidered with intricate patterns, and a black fox fur coat was draped outside.
At this time, the man was looking at her with a curious expression, and there was a bit of curiosity in his eyes.
Only then did Qin Xiang realize that this person was the man she had met at the gate of the old lady's courtyard of the Jiang family and threw her a silver ingot.
"Childe, please go out."
Qin Xiang nodded at him, picked up the milk and poured it into the basin, and said a little impatiently.
"What are you afraid of?"
The man stood up, leaned in front of Qin Xiang, and looked at Qin Xiang with some strangeness: "Aren't you just selling fried chicken?" Why don't you want people to see other food? ”
Qin Xiang couldn't help but be stunned, she could say that many of the dishes she had made before were oiled, so from the next day onwards, she would bring oil with her own when she went to Jiang Mansion to cook.
She didn't want people to know that she used oil, so she naturally didn't want people to watch her cook.
It's just that she won't tell the man about these things, but said patiently: "Which cook doesn't have the secret of hiding his own secrets, so he naturally doesn't want to tell others, and asks the son to leave." ”
"Hehe, you're afraid that people will know the purpose of that thing in the jar!"
The man smiled, then suddenly pointed to the clay pot that contained it.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect this person to be able to guess her mind so quickly, which made her a little surprised.
"Yes, that's the secret to my delicious cooking."
Qin Xiang nodded, anyway, this young master, who doesn't touch the spring water with his fingers at a glance, definitely doesn't know what is in the jar.
Sure enough, the man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Qin Xiang to admit it so quickly, and thought that she would quibble a few words, saying that the jar was just some spices, not worth anything.
"Is it your father-in-law who picked you up at the gate of the house?"
The man quickly changed his expression, he was not interested in cooking in the first place, and he just asked casually.
Qin Xiang didn't expect this person's thinking to jump so fast and turn to himself so quickly.
She nodded, thinking that it was okay to make milk cakes without oil, so she simply ignored the man and quickly started making milk cakes.
"Your husband doesn't look rich, you look good, and you have such skills, why don't you find a better husband?"
The man approached Qin Xiang with a little smile on his face and a little playfulness.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but take a step back, his eyes revealing a bit of vigilance.
The ancients were very reserved, but this product is not reserved at all.
"My father-in-law is very good, he is handsome compared to ordinary people, and he is very good at hunting, we are doing well, please respect yourself, otherwise I will call someone!"
Qin Xiang felt that he had encountered a lust and a ghost, so he couldn't help but cold his face and said impatiently.
"I'm just kidding, why are you so funny?"
The man rolled his eyes, grabbed the red bean cake that Qin Xiang had just made before, turned around and left the kitchen like a gust of wind.
Qin Xiang watched him leave a little speechlessly, and looked at the maid who was standing at the door a little embarrassed.
"Qin Niangzi doesn't have to care, our eldest young master just has a ...... temper He has no ill will towards people. ”
Seeing Qin Xiang staring at her, the little maid hurriedly said, God knows that she wished she didn't exist just now.
Qin Xiang nodded, urging her to close the door, and continued to concentrate on making milk cakes.
After she finished making the milk cakes, Mama Jiang just came over and brought all the meals.
Qin Xiang saw that he was done, so he walked leisurely to the kitchen, towards a camellia bush not far from the kitchen, many camellia flowers have bloomed, very beautiful.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but stop, stopped beside the flowers, and looked at it carefully.
"Good flowers with beauties, it looks good, if you change into bright clothes, it would be better."
At this time, I saw that the young master Jiang came over again, his big coat had been taken off, and he had changed into a moon-white cloak, looking like a gentleman.
It's just that what he said, but he didn't have the demeanor of a gentleman, Qin Xiang glanced around and asked, "There are so many maids here, why don't you go and ridicule others, just to ridicule me, a married woman?" ”
"Because they are afraid of me, it's really boring, you're different, I always feel that you are different from the women next to me."
Young Master Jiang shook his head and continued to look at Qin Xiang with interest.
