Chapter 194: Preparation Before Treating
In order to treat the matter, Niu's crooked Ah Fu helped write the invitation.
Ah Fu didn't feel the need to entertain, he was just Pengzhou Academy, and the admission interview of Pengzhou Academy was not difficult at all.
"Mother, this kind of trivial matter doesn't need to be exaggerated like this, if you really want to have a treat, my father and I will go to the neighbors to inform you."
Niu's tone was proud, "My son is going to enter Pengzhou Academy, this is a great joy, write, must write, write with the best paper, if there is no good paper, I will go to the Qixi shop to get it." ”
"Can't I write, can't I write? The Seven Joy Pen and Ink Shop is not my sister's alone, how can my mother take the things of the Seven Joy Shop at will? ”
Ah Fu immediately took out a pen and paper and started.
I thought that writing a few would be over, but I was forced by Niu to write a hundred sheets.
Ah Fu racked his brains and couldn't think of who his mother could give these invitations to.
Their family has been in Pengzhou City for less than half a year, and they don't know many people.
After the ink on the 100 invitations had dried, Niu put them away and pressed them under his pillow like a baby.
Niu's pillow is no longer the wooden sleeper when he first came to Pengzhou City, but is sewn from muslin cloth, and it is stuffed with cotton, which is very soft.
As for how to distribute the stickers, Niu has already calculated it.
Early the next morning, Niu sent the old Zhao Tou, who was guarding the door, to Fengfu to deliver the invitation, and after this arrangement was made, she still had it in her hand
Ninety-nine.
When Xiao Qi went to Yamen, he was stopped by Niu.
"Xiao Qi, how many fast arrest colleagues do you have now?"
Xiao Qi thought for a while and replied, "About thirty." ”
Niu counted out thirty-five invitations and handed them to Xiao Qi, "Your brother is going to study at Pengzhou Academy, this is a great joy, you give these invitations to your colleagues, and invite them to come to the house for dinner after finishing work today." ”
"Uh-"
"Remember to give them all away, and not a single one is left. Mother just wants to be lively, you tell them that you don't need to give gifts. ”
When Xiao Qi heard that there was no need to give gifts, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his mother has become so generous now.
Niu Shi played Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, the invitation was accepted, can you be embarrassed to come empty-handed when you come to dinner?
Out of the courtyard gate, Hua Xi'er laughed so much that she couldn't straighten her waist.
"Xiao Qi, I didn't expect that after your mother came to Pengzhou City, she made rapid progress, and she knew that she would send invitations and treats, maybe she would be able to hold this banquet very unexpectedly."
Xiao Qi nodded: "Yes, since I came to Pengzhou City, my mother's cooking skills have also improved a lot." ”
When they arrived at the yamen, the simple morning meeting was over, and Xiao Qi sent an invitation to each of the fast catchers who were patrolling the door.
"Everyone went to my house for dinner at night, and my mother said that there was no need to give gifts."
After the catch is over, Xiao Qi still has three cards left in his hand.
She passed by Beicheng when she was patrolling and sent an invitation to the shopkeeper Qin, "My brother is going to Pengzhou Academy to study, my mother wants to invite everyone to the house to have a lively time, Shopkeeper Qin closes early in the evening and goes to my house for dinner, no need to give gifts." ”
Suddenly, a person came out of the backyard and startled Xiao Qi.
"Mu Zishan, why are you here?"
Mu Zishan
"I'm a big boss, of course I can come here. My mother has been getting more and more nagging recently, so I will take over your brother as a buddy in the shop, and concentrate on reading and studying by the way. ”
"In that case, you can also come to my house for dinner in the evening, please post this one to you, no need to bring a gift."
In the afternoon, Xiao Qi patrolled to the vicinity of the South City Gate, and was very surprised to see that Zhou Baihu was still guarding the city gate.
"Lord Zhou, hasn't General Lu transferred you out of the South City Gate yet?"
Zhou Baihu sighed heavily, "Don't mention it, General Lu treats me worse now than before." However, the Mu Governor rewarded the silver, and said that he would report my credit for suppressing bandits to the imperial court. ”
Xiao Qi took out the last invitation, "My brother is going to Pengzhou Academy to study, my mother invites everyone to dinner, Zhou Baihu will come over if he has time." ”
"Can I bring my family along?"
"Of course, don't bring a present."
……
After Xiao Qi left in the morning, Niu asked Liu Dahe to take her out to buy in a car.
Liu Dahe looked up at the sky, "It's still early, Chrysanthemum, are we going to buy vegetables so early?" ”
Niu's has a lot of experience in buying vegetables, "It's just right to go now, it's too late, and the good dishes are picked by others, but it's not good." ”
Well, since marrying, what Niu said is all right, even if it is wrong, it is also his Liu Dahe's fault, in this world, it is not easy to be a man.
The husband and wife went to West Street, and Niu's found Yapo to pick two delicate and clever little maids and a delicate little maid.
When the Niu family paid the money, Liu Dahe whispered:
"Chrysanthemum, ordinary people like us don't need to buy maids, right?"
Niu stretched out one of his hands in front of Liu Dahe.
"Before I married you, my hands were white and tender, and you see, what has become of my hands? You just bear it? ”
Liu Dahe shook his head, "I can't bear it, I can't bear it." ”
"I don't have to do so much rough work every day when I buy two maids, and I can use it for today's treats."
Liu Dahe nodded, "Buy, must buy, if two is not enough, let's buy four." ”
Niu glanced at him coquettishly, "That's not necessary, for the time being, buy two for the time being, the little guy is also a must, you didn't see the young master Mu of the people, and the little young master of the Feng family, all carry the little guy with him, let's buy one today, and Ah Fu will also have a little guy in the future." ”
After buying the maid and the servant, Niu entered a grocery store and picked and bought more than 200 exquisite dishes.
After Liu Dahe moved the dishes to the car, he couldn't help but say, "We can't use this plate and bowl so much, right?" ”
"You may often have to treat yourself in the future, these dishes are far worse than those in Mufu, so let's make use of them first. Didn't Boss Feng give three thousand taels? Don't worry, Dahe, what we have is money. ”
Niu Shi snapped his fingers and said, "I estimate that there may be hundreds of people this time, and ten tables will be wanted." Yesterday I contacted the people who rented the tables and chairs, and asked them to send 20 tables and chairs by noon. ”
Liu Dahe secretly twitched the corners of his mouth, he didn't refute Niu's, he felt that ten tables were very exaggerated, but he didn't expect Niu's to prepare twenty sets of tables and chairs, this woman, it's really capricious, it's a pity that he can't be the master.
On the street where vegetables were sold, Niu's picked up vegetables that were pleasing to the eye to buy, and the carriage driven by Liu Dahe was quickly filled, and another car was hired.
Liu Dahe asked cautiously, "Will there be more of this dish?" ”
Niu's: "Be prepared, prepare more first, and if you can't finish eating, you can keep it for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." I have asked my sister-in-law Aqing, who used to work together at Mingyue Restaurant, to help, and invited four skilled cooks to help. ”
Liu Dahe laughed and said: "Chrysanthemum, the food you make yourself is delicious, why do you have to spend that unjust money to invite someone?" ”
Niu glared at Liu Dahe, "Are you trying to exhaust me?" I can't do it alone, and I'm the master, and I'll have to entertain the ladies and ladies when the time comes. ”
Liu Dahe was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that his daughter-in-law, who came out of a remote mountain village, would entertain Mrs. Miss, where did Mrs. Miss come from? I've never been to the house.
