Chapter 244: Golden Signboard
Sister Qiu walked over slowly under the beckoning of the red tassels, and after a rough look, there were already more than ten dishes on the banquet, all of which were the signature dishes of the water tofu workshop, and there were about six or seven female babies, the big one seemed to be 156 years old, and the villain was only 10 years old. There are still ladies standing behind many female babies, which should be the maid rings they brought out.
"You are the Mei lady who opened this water tofu shop with my eldest brother?" Sister Qiu asked the female voice who listened first.
The girl who spoke was twelve or thirteen years old, combed two mustaches, wore a diamond collar around her neck, had a round face, ruddy lips, and her crisp voice, which was very delicate and cute.
"You are Young Master Wang's little sister, Miss Dezhi, right?" Sister Qiu smiled and said, "My name is Mei Qiushuang." β
Wang Dezhi nodded, beckoned Sister Qiu to sit next to her, asked Hongyu to add dishes and dishes to Sister Qiu and pour tea, smiled at the other girls at the banquet, and said: "You have to see Mrs. Mei, I invited someone here, what is new and hurriedly ask, don't delay the affairs of Mrs. Mei!" β
The girls at the table all laughed, and the most villainous lady looked at Sister Qiu and said in surprise: "You don't look big, how old are you?" β
Sister Qiu smiled and said, "I was born in December, and I am thirteen years old. β
"Oh, I'm only two years older than me! There are so many dishes......" The little lady was even more curious, pointed to the table full of dishes, and said, "How did you come up with it?" My chef doesn't know how to do it! β
An older lady at the banquet also asked: "Yes, I heard that those Xu Shui tofu and dried tofu are also what you came up with, how did you come up with it?" β
Sister Qiu had already thought about the excuse, so she smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, and it's also good luck." My mother once grinded the bean juice and poured it into the bottle boy, and when she opened the bottle boy, she found that the bean juice in the bottle boy became water tofu, and then tried a few times, only to find that it was the cement gypsum point that was originally stored in the bottle boy and became water tofu. As for those dishes, I cooked for the family with my mother, and after a long time, I found out. β
Qiu Ji workshop has been open for so long, every day all the empty consumption of at least 100 catties of cement gypsum, with cement gypsum dotted tofu is very many people all know, but they don't know that the water tofu with cooked cement gypsum powder is delicious.
"Oh!" The ladies brushed together to show a clear look.
"You're all 13 years old, are you engaged to be married in your family?" Wang Dezhi asked suddenly, winking at her playfully.
The lady who seemed to be on the back of this question was already ashamed and couldn't speak, Sister Biqiu was not an ordinary person, and said generously: "It's settled, I just held a wine banquet a few days ago, and I grew up with the big brother next door." β
Sister Xingqiu didn't notice it at all, and when it came to Lin Punctuality, her eyebrows couldn't help but smile gently, and the affection contained there was clear that everyone could see.
"What do they do?" Wang Dezhi asked curiously, in her opinion, Mei Qiushuang earns a lot of money, and the betrothed person should not be too bad.
Sister Qiu smiled and said:
"Their family is an ordinary farmer's family, he is now studying in our town, and he has already taken the old Xiucai exam, and he is preparing to take the exam."
Wang Dezhi nodded with a smile, and politely asked Sister Qiu to eat with them, but Sister Qiu politely refused, saying that there was still something to do, and she would have the opportunity to accompany you to eat next time.
When Hongyu sent her out, Sister Qiu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, she didn't believe that these daughters were really novel, why did she cook, you went to the restaurant to eat with the right taste, could it be that the chef would be called over to inquire? What are you kidding, she is a noble daughter, how can she be interested in a person like a chef who is dirty and full of oil smoke. Sister Qiu felt that the important purpose of these daughters when they saw her was to ask Wang Dezhi a few questions, but Sister Qiu didn't know why they cared so much about their own marriage.
After Sister Qiu left, until the door was closed, the most villain lady smiled at a lady next to her and said, "Sister Yue, you can rest assured this time." β
Sister Yue is the oldest lady here, with the appearance of 16, her face turned red when she heard the words, and she shook her head and said: "You asked her to come and ask this and that, what peace of mind do I have." β
Another twelve or thirteen-year-old lady said with a smile: "It looks like Mei Qiushuang is very satisfied with her fiancΓ© Jun, Sister Yue, you can be Dezhi's sister-in-law with peace of mind." β
Yue Niangzi's face was so red that she was really bleeding, she lowered her head and waved the tassel in her hand, she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, and said softly: "Rui Xiaomei is good at making fun of people, thanks to you for coming up with such an idea!" Obviously it was Zhang Rui's idea, so he coaxed a few people to call Mei Qiushuang over for questioning, and Dudu also used the banner of helping her, telling her that she was very aggrieved in her throat with a mouthful of old blood, and Dezhi had no choice, so she had to find Wang Ming and call Mei Niangzi.
Even if Mei Niangzi and Wang Ming have anything, with the identity of Mei Niangzi, it is nothing more than raising an aunt in the family, she is Wang Ming's main wife, these will not change, with Wang Ming's identity, there are a few aunts and wives who are usual, not Mei Niangzi will also be someone else, if she doesn't even have these belly volumes, this marriage will be invalidated as soon as possible. Besides, Mei Niangzi doesn't seem to be a country girl who can't be on the stage, if she really enters the Wang family, it will only be good for the Wang family, and everyone is happy to see it, just look at Mei Niangzi's behavior, people are not people who do everything for climbing high branches.
Zhang Rui is not a fool, he naturally heard the dissatisfaction and warning in the tone of the Yue Niangzi, and immediately laughed sarcastically, before he was about to open his mouth, Wang Dezhi said loudly: "Come, let's have a glass of wine first, this is my brother looking for someone to transport from the Western Regions to transport authentic goods, no matter how much you eat, you can't get drunk!" β
Seeing that all the people around him raised their wine glasses, Zhang Rui only smiled, and raised his glasses with others.
When Sister Qiu came out of the Liufang Building, it was noon, because she was the only one who came, so Sister Qiu refused Wang Ming's banquet arrangement, and asked the Wang family's coachman to take her to the street market in Huyang for a turn, and bought a few new flower-like thin cloths to wear in summer, including fine cotton and silk
, basically everyone bought a copy, and brought a few pieces of white muslin to Jia's family, leaving them for the unborn little brother or sister to make close-fitting clothes.
At noon, Sister Qiu hadn't eaten yet, so she found a cake shop in the market and bought a few pieces of meatloaf, and handed them to the coachman for two, the coachman first excused himself, and then saw that Sister Qiu insisted, and he was not welcome.
On the way back, Sister Qiu piled up the fabric she bought, leaned on the fabric and took a nap, the sun in the spring afternoon was dazzling and comfortable, and sprinkled on Sister Qiu's face through the shaking curtain. After a long pause, Sister Qiu got up and looked out the window, there were already familiar fields and villas outside, and it should be very close to Jiujiang.
It's better to have your own hometown! Sister Qiu sighed heartily, no matter how good Huyang is, it seems that it is not a familiar place for herself, only in Jiujiang, in Xiaohe Town, where the people, and the scenery there, she really feels familiar and relieved.
"I don't know what Brother Zhun is doing?" Sister Qiu muttered quietly, "I study hard every day, and I don't expect him to be the top student in the gold department, and in the end, the handsome guy becomes a big idiot, then I will really lose a lot of money......" Sister Qiu sighed, leaned on the pile of fabrics, and quietly touched and calculated with her fingers, there are also shops in Luzhou to ask for goods in their workshop, as well as several states and counties in the south, and some people will come to ask after the New Year, these people in the workshop are not enough, and they are also recruiting, as for the workshop, they will also expand the two courtyards outward, and specially dry the yuba and dried beans, Now these two things are the best, water tofu or something, it's really unbearable.
Now no one looks down on Xiaohe Town anymore, as soon as you enter the village, it is paved with bluestone slabs, compared to the town is all pompous, a workshop wants the palms of the whole village to be generous, and there are rich people like Lin Cheng, Darong, and Dawei.
As soon as I heard that the Qiuji workshop was going to recruit people again, the people in several villages on the side were all looking for it, and many people still came to the door through Aunt Jiang's line with gifts, and said that they knew Aunt Jiang, and Aunt Jiang introduced them to find Lin Zhen. There were a lot of people in the village, all of them watched, talking about Qi brushing, and some were afraid that their families would have no money to give gifts, so Lin really didn't recruit them.
But Aunt Chunhua was angry, and Lin Laosuo also felt that her face was quite dull, and she couldn't hang up a little in front of her daughter-in-law and grandson, so she found an opportunity to go to your son-in-law's house and scolded her daughter.
Aunt Jiang was also angry, "Why am I embarrassed my brother?" He is in charge of recruiting people, and he will recruit whoever he says, is it inconvenient for him to say something? What's wrong with me recommending a few people to work? He won't give me all the face of my sister? β
"Your brother doesn't have to recruit people for himself, he is recruiting people for Sister Qiu's family, Li Niangzi, and it spreads that whoever gives you a gift to your brother can come in and work, what has your brother become?" Lin Laosu preached.
Aunt Jiang unconsciously ran, "Sister Qiu, didn't Nizi get engaged to Dazhun a long time ago, all of them are the daughters-in-law of the Jiang family, hers is our Jiang family, and my aunt's face is her give." β
"You
Brother, your sister-in-law never thought of taking other people's private property, but the water you spilled out was thinking about it! Lin Laosuo was anxious, and his speech became stern, "I'll put ugly words here for you, if you beat your brother's banner to do things again, don't go back to your mother's house in the future, I have raised you with your mother for many years, and I married you out gracefully, and I have already fulfilled the responsibilities of both of us!" After speaking, Lin Laosu walked with his hands behind his back angrily, and Aunt Jiang stomped her feet angrily.
