"Uncle, look at what you said, you will have to trouble the dishes and food boxes in the restaurant in the future." Du Mei took out a handful of copper coins from her purse, there were one or twenty, she didn't count them, and stuffed them directly into the old man's hand.

"This ...... This makes me say what is good! The old servant held the money in his hand and was dumbfounded for a moment.

Today, Du Mei didn't say a word of complaint in front of his master, and now he gave him a reward, and he really didn't want to go.

"The weather is weirdly hot, so the uncle keeps it to buy herbal tea to drink." Du Mei smiled and left.

Du Mei and Lin Zheng returned to the restaurant, everyone gathered around, and Lin Dai asked with concern: "Why have you been there for so long, is it not smooth?" ”

Du Mei briefly explained the matter, and when she heard that Du Mei delivered takeaways, she actually took a table of wine and received a hundred taels of silver in advance, and everyone was happy and motivated again.

In the evening, two more families ordered takeout, and Song Shangshu actually ordered a whole table of duck dishes on the house, which was naturally due to Song Shaohuai's help.

With this reason, Du Mei decided to go in person, it was inconvenient for Fengxian to come out, they hadn't seen each other for a while, and her children should have grown up, I don't know how they were doing in Nafu.

A whole table of seats, all kinds of dishes filled with five large food boxes, Lin Zheng drove the carriage to send Du Mei there, and there were already mother-in-law servants in the house who came out and helped take the food boxes in.

Fengxian had already gotten the news, but it was inconvenient to come out, so she had to wait anxiously in her own room, and sent Xiaolian to see it from time to time, she was sure that Du Mei would definitely come in person.

Xiaolian watched Du Mei follow her mother-in-law into the restaurant, and hurriedly ran to tell Fengxian.

"Plums." When Fengxian arrived, the mother-in-law who helped was gone, and only Du Mei was busy setting out the dishes.

"Sister, how are you?" When Du Meifu saw her, he was surprised and delighted.

The phoenix in front of her was wearing a lake-green flowing color flying gauze skirt, her hair was full of pearls, her waist was ringed, her figure was a little rounder, her face was white and red, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, obviously, she had a good life here.

"Okay, it's very good, you give me those dividends every month, I can't use them up, my mother-in-law and maids are all in a hurry to make friends with me, and my ancestors and wives also look at me differently." Feng Xian covered her mouth and whispered, with a smile on her face that could not be hidden.

"Where's the doll?" Seeing that she had come alone, Du Mei couldn't help but ask.

"Xuan'er entered the mansion and followed the ancestor to eat and live, and he must be in the East House at this time." The impatiens looked outside,

In the courtyard not far away, a faint voice came.

"The doll is called Xuan'er? It's a good name. Du Mei smiled, they were both mother and son, and she was relieved.

Du Mei put the dishes on the table one by one, and was packing up the food box and preparing to leave, but saw a group of gorgeously dressed women surrounding a rich and graceful old lady who came in.

"Ancestor, today is your birthday, you have to let go, drink a little grape wine, and the big guys will be lively and lively." Feng Xian hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to support the old lady.

"You girl, like Huai'er, is used to coaxing people to be happy." Old Taijun Yuan stretched out her hand and nodded her forehead, and said angrily.

"You are today's old birthday star, if you don't drink a little, all the ladies will not dare to move, won't you lose interest." Fengxian poured half a cup for the old lady.

"It's been a bit hotter this year, big

The family is lazy, I am just a small birthday, I didn't plan to live, Huai'er Fei came up with this novel idea, said to call a table of the best table in the capital to honor me, I thought that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, so I hastily found you, as for the gentlemen, we don't care about them, just let us be happy. Taking advantage of the time when Fengxian was pouring wine for all the ladies of the Emperor, Old Taijun Yuan said happily.

"The old lady has a long life, so let's naturally come and join in the fun, and follow the blessings." An old woman in a blue embroidered pattern said with a smile.

"Look at this dish is an object of Mei Kee Restaurant, I often hear the men praise how good her family's food is, today, with the filial piety of the eldest young master, let's also try it." Another middle-aged woman with a hairpin with a little emerald inlaid treasure pine, bamboo and plum hairpin on her head chimed in.

"Speaking of Mei Ji, this girl is still in the gang." Old Taijun Yuan pointed at the phoenix fairy and said with some ostentatiousness.

"Mrs. Su's vision is really good, this Mei Ji is very hot in Jiangling City, and I heard that Chunshang heard that if you want to eat a table of her family, you have to make an appointment ten days in advance." Another plump young woman in a flowing gauze flying willow skirt flattered.

"I don't have any skills, but my sister is very good." Fengxian smiled and looked at Du Mei.

Du Mei couldn't leave, and when she saw Feng Xian talking about her, she had to step forward and bow down to Old Taijun Yuan: "Mei Ji wishes Old Taijun good fortune like Nanshan in the East China Sea!" He then blessed the other ladies present.

"You are the big shopkeeper of Mei Ji?" Old Taijun Yuan tilted her head and looked at Du Mei with her eyes.

Du Mei is wearing a lilac-colored muslin embroidered magnolia dress today, her figure is tall and straight, and she holds her black hair like ink with a red sandalwood hairpin, she has willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, her face is like white jade, and her cheeks are like flying clouds, and she has a good appearance that is difficult to find in the world.

"Back to the old lady's words, I am Du Mei." Du Mei was a little embarrassed by her, so she stood in front of her with low eyebrows.

"Isn't it that I'm dazzled, do you look at her like a person?" Old Taijun Yuan turned his head and asked.

"What the old lady said is ......" The old woman in the word dress was stunned by the person she thought of.

"Who?" The young woman, who could not guess for a while, could not help but ask curiously when she saw that they were talking like a dumb riddle.

"Hey, it's me who is confused, more than ten years have passed, and the old marquis's family has ......, so don't talk about it now!" Old Taijun Yuan seemed to remember the sad past, and wanted to speak but stopped.

"It's a good day, and I should be happy." When the women saw this, they hurriedly stood up together and toasted, and everyone drank a cup together.

"Feng'er, give my glass of wine to the girl to eat, it's hard to come out and send this table of wine in such a hot weather." Fengxian gave Yuan Lao Taijun a small half cup again, and she waved her hand.

"Thank you, old lady." Du Mei didn't have much to drink, but it was always difficult to excuse himself at this time, so he had to take the glass, half-hide it sideways, and drink it in one gulp.

"I see that hairpin of yours is an old thing." The young woman was sitting next to Du May, and she said sharply.

"This is a gift from my mother, there is nothing good in the countryside, there are still some rags and old wood." Du Mei returned the cup and said disapprerovingly.

"I look familiar, but where have I seen it?" Old Taijun Yuan raised his head and stared at Du Mei's hairpin for a while, and muttered.

"It's just an ancestral hairpin, that is, my sister is beautiful and natural, and I like it

This kind of natural carved ornament, if I wear it, the old lady is afraid that he will not look at me. Feng Xian leaned up and said coquettishly.

"Your mouth is really powerful, do you have to eat your own girl's vinegar, that's it, that's it, just you look the best." Old Taijun Yuan smiled and patted Feng Xian's lotus arm and said.

After Fengxian broke up like this, they stopped talking about Du Mei, and they all raised their chopsticks to eat, and Du Mei couldn't leave immediately, so they had to stay and help Fengxian take care of it, and serve soup with vegetables.

The women's gatherings are not for eating, they are all from various prefectures and courtyards that have dealings with the Song family, and the family members of the families with heads and faces, in addition to world friends, they are close to the officialdom, and they can be regarded as getting closer to each other.

"Old lady, the garden in my house was built a few days ago, Chun'er is not making a fuss about a garden party, the time is set for two days later, when the time comes, you must come to relax." A chubby woman wrapped in a flowered silver silk skirt said.

"Children's things, let's not get involved, I don't have to detain them, but I can't let them play, I only envy you for having Chun'er Chenghuan's knees, pity my family is just this clever mouth to coax me all day long, if you really want to find someone to be lively, why don't you take her with you, let me be quiet for a long time." Old Taijun Yuan said half-jokingly.

Fengxian was born in the dust, although a small sedan chair was quietly carried in from the side door, but now the son is expensive by his mother, and he has a foothold in the house, Yuan Lao Taijun saw that Song Shaohuai was stubborn and did not stick to secular etiquette, and in desperation, she had to slowly push Fengxian in front of the family friends.

Song Shaohuai is a long house, and he will inherit the family business in the future, if he is willing to marry another wife who is the right person, if he insists on refusing, Fengxian will have to be on the stage, so Yuan Lao Taijun tried to pave the way for her at this time.

"If Mrs. Feng is willing to come, Chun'er should be overjoyed, and please don't excuse herself." The woman was like a mirror in her heart, but her lord still had to be taken care of by Song Zhongshuling, so she naturally didn't dare to say anything.

"Thank you, Madame, for the invitation, Fengxian will visit as promised." The phoenix stooped down and was blessed.

Of course, she knows the good intentions of the old lady, and every time there is such a party, she always has to do her best to integrate into it, not only for herself, but also for Xuan'er, to fight for a bright future!

Du Mei listened to them while cleaning up the dishes, thinking to herself, Fengxian is here, no one is bullying on the surface, but she is not comfortable at all, she is too tired to live, and she is always walking on thin ice.

"Great treasurer, you outside...... Something else, maybe send it to my house? The fat woman turned to Du Mei and asked.

"Madam, I'm a takeaway, like this banquet, one or two tables are OK, if it's too much, I'm afraid that the kitchen will not be busy, the texture and taste of the dishes will be much inferior, if the quality cannot be guaranteed, Mei Ji can never do it, but we can send three or five special items at the same time, such as duck soup, eight treasure duck, herbal tea ice drink, etc." Takeaway is still a novelty, Du Mei patiently explained.

"In that case, you can give you three portions of all the signature dishes in your store." The fat woman waved her little fat hand and said nonchalantly.

"There are a lot of dishes in my store, it's better to be like this, the takeaway team is on the street these days, they have a menu, you just have to check it." Mei Ji's dishes are all signboards, and when she orders like this, Du Mei is not annoyed, and only recommends the takeaway team to her.
