Chapter 896: The Princess's Reward
Seeing that Ji Bo turned around and returned, Bai Heran asked, "But is there anything else?" ”
Ji Bo nodded, "That's right, the people who came to the house to help the cook came over early in the morning, and they have been busy until now, and they haven't eaten!" The old slave wants to ask the princess for a reward, which is more or less that meaning, and also cages the hearts of the princess's mansion. ”
Bai Crane was stunned for a moment, "This is my negligence." Then he hurried to give winter snow a look.
In winter, the snow has been prepared, and I have been carrying gold and silver barley for rewards, and there are several bags of large and small. In addition to these, there are also many small items, such as silver peanuts, golden melon seeds, jade gourds and other things, which are used to come to the new mansion to reward people. Seeing that the white crane was dying her eyes at this time, Dongxue thought about it, took out a bag of golden barley, reached in and grabbed a handful and stuffed it to Ji Bo, "Let's divide this for everyone!" It's not easy to work for so long, this is a little bit of the master's heart. ”
Ji Bo thought that the most he could do was to reward some broken silver, but he didn't expect that Bai Heran would be a golden barley as soon as he made a move, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.
The barley is made of crushed gold, and each one is of a different size, and the largest is no bigger than a fingernail.
But it's also gold, it's worth many times more than silver, not to mention that it's a handful, it's enough to take out a single one, and exchange it for silver to reward the women who help the cook, not to mention that the handful that the snow gave him in winter is quite large, and the condition is very good, and it looks like it's caused by fine gold. Wherever this is used for rewards, almost all of them can be made into earrings by those women and passed on to their daughters and daughters-in-law as heirlooms.
Ji Bo's hand trembled a little: "Princess, this is too valuable, and too much, if you reward it, you will have to scare them." As he spoke, he put the large handful of golden barley in his hand on the table, and then carefully counted twenty-five and held it in his hand, "Today's cooks count Wu Po, which is twenty-five people, the old slave is the master, one for each person, and ask the Snow Maiden to keep the rest!" Tianci Town is not as good as the people in Shangdu City, the people here have survived hard times, and they have not seen much of the world, and they do not have as much appetite as the people in Shangdu City. Let's reward one person and one pill, which is worth enough for their family to eat for three years, which is enough. ”
Bai Heran also felt that one grain per person was enough, and she was startled by a handful of snow in winter, and she thought to herself, she should really bring spring over today, and the snow in winter used to be mixed with the rivers and lakes, where did she understand the rules of these big mansions. Fortunately, Ji Bo is a good hand and can control it, otherwise according to the winter snow method, the Hong family can also be poor by her.
"Just listen to Giber." Bai Heran smiled and spoke, and then said to Dongxue, "In the future, learn more about these things with Ji Bo, sometimes it's not that the more you give, the more appropriate, and many times you have to learn what is meant by moderation." ”
Winter Xue scratched his head, "My subordinates remember, but the master still has to find a maid like Yingchun in the future, and his subordinates will dance and play with swords, and it's really too difficult for me to do this." ”
Bai Heran glanced at her, didn't say anything, just said to Ji Bo again: "There should be any leftover from this table, right?" ”
Ji Bo nodded, "There are still a lot left, and the old slave wants to let each of them bring some so that they can eat it when they go home." ”
"Then open two more tables in this flower hall, don't go home, just call everyone in to eat together, lively."
"Ouch, that's unacceptable!" Ji Bo was taken aback, "You are a princess, a daughter, and eating in the same room with these maids is already a blessing from heaven, how can you eat with the women in the village again." I can't do it, I can't do it. ”
Bai Heran shook his head, "Ji Bo, I said that I would make it." This rule may need to be followed more in Shangdu City, but now that I have returned to Tianci Town, I don't want to put on a princess's shelf. If I still talk about the rules in the capital in my fiefdom, then I will be tired enough. Go, just listen to me, open two more tables in the flower hall, and call all the cooks over. Now that I have returned to the fiefdom for the first time, I can be regarded as knowing everyone, and I will have to ask for help in the future, and I can still afford a meal. ”
As soon as Ji Bo heard her say this, he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to go to the big kitchen to arrange according to her instructions. As he walked, he muttered: "This master is really good, who doesn't want to follow such a master, it's really a blessing from God." ”
The chatter went on until the big kitchen, where the women of the town were waiting, chattering, guessing what the princess would give.
Someone said: "The reward is generally a reward of silver, we made a meal, and it is not a matter of making a lot of effort, it is good for one person to reward a piece of broken silver, what do you want?" Do you still want gold? ”
"Ouch, don't you dare." People waved their hands again and again, "We don't even expect broken silver, you know, a piece of broken silver is enough to eat for three months?" What kind of things are we doing, and we are getting such a heavy reward? ”
"Actually, just enjoy a piece of dim sum to eat, how much is that meaning, now we have no shortage of food and clothing in the town, and the house is built so well, who is short of silver? Right? It's that the princess is back, we are happy, and I am happy to let me cook every day. ”
"I'm happy too, I'm willing." People scrambled to say, "The princess is our great benefactor, and this kindness will never be repaid in a lifetime." As long as the princess needs it, let me do anything. ”
While chattering, the housekeeper Ji Bo walked in, and heard these women chatting from a long distance, so as soon as Ji Bo came in, he first opened his mouth and asked them: "Guess what, what did Her Royal Highness the princess reward you?" Let's talk about it first, there are two rewards, guess one first. ”
The women were stunned, "Two rewards? We don't even think there is one reward, how can there be two rewards? ”
Someone guessed, "One of them must be broken silver, right?" I've heard before that the reward of a big family is usually broken silver. ”
But Ji Bo shook his head, "No, guess again." ”
"Guess again?" Someone was a little bolder, "Is that the whole silver?" Is it a whole piece of silver ingots? The kind of fifty taels or ten taels? ”
Ji Bo still shook his head, and after looking at the unseen appearance of these women, he decided not to sell it. So he spread his hand, and the golden barley in his hand was displayed in front of the people, "Take it yourself, one for each person, this is the reward given to you by Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
The women were stunned, and no one dared to step forward, only staring at the golden handful of things in Ji Bo's hand.
What is it? Gold? My God, the princess actually rewarded them with gold?
Someone finally recognized, "This is a golden barley, which only the very rich can afford, but those who can get this kind of reward are close people, or slaves with heads, not village women like us who only cook one meal." I've seen a guy show off his barley before, but it's not that big, at most half the size, it's ...... That's too big. ”
As a barley, it is indeed too big to be the size of a thumb nail. Ji Bo said: "If you don't squander this one piece of barley, you can only take care of your family's food, which is enough for you to eat for five years." This is full of food, and if you count the warmth, it is enough for three years. You know how valuable this golden barley is, right? Come on, one for each person, this is the reward given to you by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Don't think how rich our princess is, the reason why she gives such a big reward is because this is your first errand today, and the princess has just returned to the town. ”
"Ouch, this is too expensive, we can't afford it!" These women are very realistic, and they don't need to say anything to Jiber, they themselves feel that this is too much, and no one dares to come forward for a while. "Lao Ji, you take it back, just tell the princess that we don't ask for a reward, her life is all saved by her, what's wrong with cooking a meal? If we want to reward the broken silver, we will take it, the gold is too valuable. ”
Ji Bo sighed helplessly, "Let you take it, I said the same at first, but the princess said that she regards the people of Tianci Town as a family, and she hopes that everyone in the family can live well." Besides, this is indeed the first reward, and if you ask for good luck, you will be rewarded with this. Come on, don't push, one person takes one, and there are other things when it's over! ”
Seeing that people couldn't help it, they had to come forward and take one by one, and Ji Bo also reminded them: "I just said that I would make an analogy when I said that it was enough to eat for five years, you are not stupid, but don't really exchange this thing for food and drink." How many people have never seen this thing in their lives, and whoever takes this thing for food and drink is stupid. Now that life is good, no one is short of flowers at home, it is best to keep this thing, who will marry a daughter-in-law in the future, how face-stricken! Not to mention the precious, this is the princess's reward! ”
"Yes, Lao Ji, you are so right, this thing is to keep the heirloom, let's keep it for our children and grandchildren."
When one of the people happily took a piece of gold barley and carefully put it away, someone asked, "I just said that there are two rewards, but what is the other one?" This one reward is so valuable, how can there be two more rewards? ”
Ji Bo laughed, and greeted everyone while laughing: "Come on, make up the rest of the dishes, make up as many as you can, if not, fry a few more, in short, the princess ordered, prepare two more tables, and put them in the flower hall." ”
People were stunned, "Yo, two tables are not enough for two tables?" Is there another nobleman? As he spoke, he was busy, "Cheng, don't worry, there are a lot of dishes, and you can make up two tables by frying a few more, let's fry it." ”
Ji Bo smiled and said, "What kind of noble person is here, it's for you." The princess said, they are all on the table today, except for the men's table in the front hall, the flower hall is not divided into masters and servants, all are placed together. Her Royal Highness the princess felt sorry for your hard work, and until now you haven't eaten a bite of hot food, so she gave grace and let you go to the flower hall to eat together, saying that it was lively. ”
"Ouch, it's true?" When the women heard that the Coke was broken, this grace was more pleasing than a piece of gold barley!
"Of course it's true." Ji Bo urged, "Hurry up, hurry up and put up the table, and then go to the flower hall together to kowtow to Her Royal Highness the princess in person." After speaking, he muttered, "I don't know what virtue we have accumulated, our lives were saved by others, and now we haven't reported it, and people are so good to us again, it's really the ancestral tomb that is smoking." ”
When someone heard it, they nodded their heads again and again, and they all burst into tears with excitement......
