Chapter 427: The Gossip of the Noble Ladies

() "Delivery Squad?" The fat woman was a little confused.

"I came out today, and I looked at the children in indigo coats on the street shouting all the way, 'Mei Ji takeaway, you order me to deliver it', I think it's the takeaway team you said." The young woman said with a smile.

"Exactly, it's hot in summer, everyone's appetite is not good, if you want to change the taste of the ladies, just send the grandmothers out to order, within a hundred steps, there will be a takeaway team." Du Mei clasped his hands together and said modestly.

Du Mei pondered how to develop a business all day long, this is an excellent sales opportunity, these noble ladies are the hostesses of the houses and courtyards, as long as they are willing to try, give Mei Ji a chance to take out, Du Mei can naturally impress them with food.

"There are such novelty things, if my family Chun'er knows, she must give it a try, and ask her to order it tomorrow." The fat woman seemed to be a very pampered daughter, and nodded again and again.

"Mei Ji's dishes really live up to their reputation, and when I hold a banquet in my house in the future, I will have to order a meal." When the other women saw that the fat woman had already said this, they hurriedly agreed.

Mei Ji's dishes are good, and the face of Zhongshu Lingfu can't be refuted, Fengxian joined Mei Ji, although the old lady didn't say anything, but which of these women is not a seven-trick exquisite heart, how can they eat this meal in vain.

"Du Mei has thanked the ladies in advance." Hearing this, Du Mei immediately bowed down.

"If the shopkeeper wants to say thank you, you have to thank Mrs. Wang first, the girls in our boudoir in Beijing will go to her family's garden party in two days, and when the time comes, seeing that takeaway is rare, it will be indispensable to order food in the future." The middle-aged woman is thinking that there is no major matter to do in the family in the near future, but the old lady's face cannot be lost, if she finds an opportunity to help her and promote a few transactions, she can also be so-so.

"If you want me to say, Mrs. Wang's garden is too timely, the sixth day of the first month of next month is the birthday of the ninth prince, and the crown will be performed, and then Princess Yan will inevitably be selected, you will hold a sensational Jiangling City girls' garden party, if this reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, you must remember Chun'er." The old woman in the word skirt covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile.

"Don't say that, my lord is just an idle job in the Ministry of Works, where does Chun'er dare to think about the position of Princess Yan!" The fat woman's face changed abruptly, and she waved her hand again and again.

"I can't say that, the Queen Mother originally wanted Su Muyun, the daughter of the Su family, and she was top-notch in terms of family talent, but it was in vain not to enter the eyes of King Yan, I heard that since I got married last year, I still sleep in separate rooms." The middle-aged lady lowered her voice and said.

"Oh, it's no wonder that Su Shangshuling made such a forced marriage in the main hall, but unfortunately stealing chickens didn't make a reversal of rice, not only did it not happen, but it also stopped the Queen Mother's idea of helping her to be a wife." The young woman's eyes widened, and she had an expression of sudden realization.

"In this way, the concubine of the Su Mansion can only be the side concubine of King Yan, and this concubine must not be the daughter of the Hou Yeguo family to be worthy, and my family Chun'er has no hope." The fat woman couldn't help but smack her tongue, and then sighed.

"It's hard to say, Chun'er is the niece of Song Zhong Shuling, her appearance is beautiful, and she is also ranked first in Jiangling City, plus she is the same age and has a likable temperament, if the queen mother is interested, your master's career is not yet smooth." The old woman couldn't help but say comfortingly.

These noblewomen spoke of eight

Hexagram, and the women of Dujiagou are no different, Du Mei bowed her head to clean up the dishes, she had no intention of listening to this, but their words were like little insects, picking her ears and eyes.

Now that the emperor has passed the year of confusion, there are many concubines in the palace, and the prince is young and has not yet married.

Although Du Mei repeatedly warned herself that Chu Lin's family affairs had nothing to do with herself, she still couldn't control the tumbling taste in her heart, which seemed to have overturned the seasoning jar, and the sweet and sour came up, although the work in her hands had not stopped, her face had changed color several times.

The women were talking about happiness, and they didn't care about Du Mei who bowed her head next to her, only Feng Xian was very distressed when she saw her like this, but she didn't have any way, Du Mei was good at everything, but this temper was too strong, she was such an arrogant person, she was destined to have no way to swallow her anger and be an aunt's concubine.

"Ancestor, I see that the wind is blowing outside, why don't we go to the garden to sit in the water pavilion and drink some herbal tea, it is more comfortable than being stuffy in the house." Feng Xian rolled her eyes, walked to Old Taijun Yuan's side, and said with a smile.

"I heard Linlang say today that the mother-in-law in charge of the water surface in the garden wants to dig lotus root and water chestnuts, and I don't know if there is a digging at this time, let's go and see, if there is, you can still taste it." Mrs. Yuan was a little sleepy and dozing, a few women were chattering, she was too lazy to take care of it, and now she listened to Fengxian's words, and became interested for a while.

"Shaohuai also arranged for a singer, let's go to the Water Pavilion to listen." Seeing her agree, Feng Xian hurriedly continued.

"Okay, okay, this birthday is all for Huai'er, he is lazy to go to the Beijing patrol camp at this time, so naturally it is up to you to make your decision." Mrs. Yuan stood up with a smile, and her own big girl Linglong stepped forward to support her.

The ladies naturally followed along, and the maids and ladies of the various families outside the door came up one after another, and everyone walked all the way, through the shaded verandah shaded by wisteria, and slowly walked into the garden.

Feng Xian took advantage of Xiaolian's efforts to inform the servant, and hurried to say a few words to Du Mei, she said with a guilty face: "Sister, it was all my bad at the beginning, if I didn't tell you those words, you, you...... Probably...... It won't get to this point! Feng Xian deeply regretted it, only to feel that she had broken them up by herself.

"I am very different from him, and those days in the past were all accidents and flukes, and now ...... It's not bad to be friends either. Du Mei held back the sourness in her heart and said with a reluctant smile.

"You also heard it today, Su Muyun may really be as they said, but it's just an ornament, and King Yan didn't deceive you." Risk bit the corner of his lower lip and said.

"I have seen Mrs. Su, she is a gentle and elegant woman, even if they are innocent of each other, so what, after all, she is his side concubine, in name only, how can it not be cruel to her, besides, there are so many girls who are flocking to the position of the concubine, moths to the fire, sister, this is not the life I want." Du Mei shook her head firmly, her heart would hurt, but she still knew very well that there were some things that she couldn't do even if she died.

"Alas, my sister is only afraid that she will be wrong again today, she shouldn't have asked you to send food, it will make you sad and sad in vain." Fengxian frowned and sighed.

"How can my sister say that, because of this table

I'm sure we'll be able to attract more business in the future. Du Mei said with a smile.

"You say so, my sister doesn't know how to comfort you, if I have an opportunity in the future, I will definitely recommend our takeaway team, just take care of yourself!" Feng Xian saw Xiaolian's figure from a distance, patted Du Mei's shoulder and said.

"Sister is the same here, you go and get busy, don't let the old lady and the ladies of the families wait for a long time." Du Mei didn't want to mention those sad things, so he urged.

Fengxian and Xiaolian left in a hurry, and Du Mei packed up the dishes and food boxes and walked out of the Song Mansion.

Lin Zheng was still waiting for her outside, her face was steaming with sweat, and she lifted the corners of her clothes from time to time to wipe her sweat.

"Boss, what's wrong with you, why is your face so red?" Lin Zheng saw Du Mei coming out and hurriedly greeted him.

"Don't get in the way, the old lady appreciates the wine, I drank a little." Du Mei hid the unspeakable pain in her heart, raised her eyes and said with a smile.

"You don't have a lot of alcohol, this is Song Gongzi's grandmother rewarding you, if you meet a rude man in the future, what will you do?" Lin Zheng took the food box and put it on the carriage, and said with some worry, "In the future, don't come out to deliver food, look at our royal street, which big shopkeeper still delivers the food in person?" ”

"Our takeaway has just started, I always have to keep an eye on it." I don't know if it's hot or tired, Du Mei said a little weakly.

"I was outside just now, and I saw that the boys ran three or two times, and there must be more takeout at night, and everything must be done slowly, and no one can become fat in one bite." Lin Zheng is old, and he talks like his father.

"I know, you and Tianyi will send it at night." Du Mei leaned on the saddle, only to feel that the stamina of the half cup of grape wine was like a summer rainstorm, sweeping in with his head and face.

Du Mei didn't eat lunch, so she went to the back hall to sleep, and didn't get up until the evening to eat half a bowl of noodles, there were five or six takeaways in the evening, but they were all tentative locations, Lin Zheng set up a carriage, and Sun Tianyi sent it all the way, and it didn't take long to come back.

"Tomorrow evening, Wu Gongzi booked a whole table of banquets, Lin Zheng, you sent these dishes and drinks, Damin and Tianyi, you go to their house, the stir-fry and simmering are still freshly made." After dinner in the evening, Du Mei pinched the list of Wu Gongzi's orders and said.

"Got it." Everyone nodded.

"If Ming'er has an order from Cao Langzhong's family in the Ministry of Industry, pay special attention to report it to me." Du Mei thought for a moment and said.

"What's wrong?" Lin Dai tilted his head and asked.

"His family is going to hold a garden party every two days, and the people invited are all the nobles in Beijing, and tomorrow is about to taste, the girls have light tastes and heavy appearances, so we have to pay more attention to food preferences and do some more work on the exquisiteness." Du Mei said carefully.

"Most of the dishes in our restaurant are thick and red sauce, stir-fried by flames, and they are spicy and fragrant, hearty, if they are to cater to the guests, they will not lose their own flavor!" A cook questioned.

"Everything should not be conformist, we cook even more so, take the duck soup as an example, it is the most important to pay attention to the long and supple, if we are with sand ginseng it is more suitable for the elderly to nourish, if it is with yam, then warm the spleen and stomach, if you put radish, then the fire is faster. These are not changes, they are just fine-tuning that varies from person to person. Du Mei said lightly, she was not annoyed, but liked this kind of person who had the courage to speak her mind.

"Okay." The cook hung his head, and he had to admire Du Mei's thoughtfulness.
