Chapter 219: Man Xi enters Beijing to choose the imperial chef
Hua Manxi just came out for a while, and in an instant she was squeezed by the shopkeepers from all walks of life, and the things she received, there were too many.
Small to, snacks, candies, dried fruits, cakes, bacon, pickles, sour bamboo shoots, to clothes and cloths, shoes and socks umbrellas, accessories jade pendants, to carriages, entourage, maids have-
Even Father-in-law Bao was stained with her light, and received a lot of broken silver, adding up, those broken silvers are really worth his monthly silver for several years, giving him broken silver, of course, not for the New Year's red envelope, but just begging him to help take care of Chef Hua!
Unexpectedly, this little girl's popularity is so good.
Of course, like an entourage, the maids and these flowers are naturally shirked, and she doesn't even accept the carriage, but she can't shirk it, so she has to let Da Yang turn around and send the silver over.
In this way, she still couldn't lift her two hands, so she simply put everything on the carriage and let Danyun drive the carriage back to Hua's house.
This time it was even worse, the merchants on the side of the road continued to stuff things into the carriage, and even the children passing by stuffed some candy into it.
Hua Manxi couldn't smile bitterly, but Grandpa Bao was stunned.
The three of them drove the carriage back to Hua's house, and before the carriage came in, they heard Wang Shishi's screaming exclamation: "Manxi!" The Holy Decree! The Holy Decree! Open my eyes! I'll see what the Decree looks like! β
"Where is my mother?" Hua Manxi was strangled by her and almost didn't catch her breath, and hurriedly avoided the warm embrace of her friend.
"Do you really want to go to Beijing? When to go? Wang Shishi asked again.
"Look at Father-in-law Bao's schedule, it should be these two days." Hua Manxi said truthfully.
"Fortunately, my Wang Mansion has a lot of people, you see, I have everything ready for you." Wang Shishi pouted a few times, pulled out a carriage, lifted the curtain, and said, "Look, dry food, water, wine, snacks, silver, clothes, shoes and socks, I am all ready, and there are maids to serve and guards to accompany you!" β
Hua Manxi glanced at her helplessly, and also lifted the curtain of the car in the light clouds, and the things full of things in it kept falling out.
"You see, this is all sent by me when I go out on the street, and I have arranged it properly." Hua Manxi shrugged and said.
"What about mine?" Wang Shishi said sharply, "It's just that they robbed me of your skills, and they also robbed me of this job!" Believe it or not, I won't rent them any more shops! β
Hua Manxi: "......."
"No, no, it's such a big thing as going to Beijing, how can I, Wang Shishi, not have any strength? When this spreads, my reputation as the richest man in Shishan County will be damaged! Miss Wang said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, if you really want to do something, go to Beijing with me, anyway, Lord Chen is in Kyoto, and you have to give Qin Xiaoye and them money." Hua Manxi said helplessly.
"Waiting for you is your word! Great, I'll go home and pack my bags right away! Who knew that Wang Shishi jumped three feet high and happily agreed.
Before Hua Manxi could speak, she ran back to Wang's Mansion in a puff of smoke.
Hua Manxi looked at Father-in-law Bao, who was stuffed with broken silver and special products everywhere, and said loudly: "Father-in-law Bao, I don't know if my friend can accompany me?" β
Father-in-law Bao saw the battle just now, if he agreed to this Miss Wang, he would have to at least double the broken silver in his pocket! Besides, he only brought a carriage and two guards, so Miss Wang's battle is not like an ordinary family, if she can accompany her, she can eat and live better all the way.
Father-in-law Bao is also a shrewd person, so he naturally nodded and agreed: "Of course you can, there are many people." β
Hua Manxi was relieved at this time, and sent someone over to tell Wang Shishi, that night, Wang Shishi dragged the family, the maids, the escort coachman, the clothes and miscellaneous goods, etc., and brought a whole three carriages over.
"Are you traveling or moving, this is too exaggerated!" Hua Manxi was stunned by this friend again.
Miss Wang has never done ordinary things, she stroked her hair very arrogantly, and said unusually squeezed: "How can I say that I am also the richest man in Shishan County, of course, there must be some style when traveling, it is all for food, I am afraid that I will not be used to living in Kyoto." β
With Wang Shishi's stirring, the atmosphere of parting was diluted, and a day later, Hua Manxi wrote down all the things that needed attention and advice, and all the things about chili sauce were entrusted to Da Yang and Xiao Yezi.
Da Yang and Xiao Yezi have already made a marriage, but the eldest aunt wants Da Yang to buy a house in the city with the money he earns, and Hua Manxi can't persuade him.
The wonton shop was handed over to Hua Lanxiang and her aunt, and the uncle and Uncle Liu also had to go back to Peach Blossom Village from time to time to collect chili peppers.
And Wang Shishi has Master Wang in charge here, and everything can be easily escaped.
After packing up, Hua Manxi and Wang Shishi finally set off for Beijing on the morning of the fourth day of the new year.
Along the way, Wang Shishi finally realized once again what it means to send off each other, and she couldn't imagine that Manxi was more popular in the hearts of the people of Shishan County than her, a big landlord!
"Chef Hua, if the imperial chef is not happy, remember to go back to Shishan County! We raise you! β
"Chef Flowers! If you need silver, you need seafood, you need chili! The people of Shishan County are your back! β
"Chef Zhuhua has a golden knife in hand, and he is invincible in Kyoto! Blessed with holy grace, glorious ancestors! Add another stroke of brilliance to our Shishan County, the hometown of food! β
The people and merchants who saw them off all opened large banners and shouted farewells.
Although it is the first month, the climate in Shishan County is warm, and there are still a lot of flowers.
Hua Manxi was very moved, stood up, bowed and thanked the people around him all the way, and said loudly: "Thank you, thank you for your love, not only how I entered Beijing, Shishan County is my home, I will come back, I wish you a prosperous business!" If you have any food problems, you can send a letter to Wang's Mansion and ask someone from the caravan to bring it to me, and I will definitely know everything and say everything! Thank you, thank you! Let's go back, everybodyβ"
Father-in-law Bao sat behind, and was a little moved when he saw this scene, and sighed repeatedly: "Our family has been in the palace for more than ten years, and I haven't seen any scenes, this is the first time I have seen the hearts of the people, if this Chef Hua is a man, it is not difficult to ask His Majesty for an official." β
"Tsk, there are a few officials who can be officials, my cousin is an official, but he is poor, we don't want to be an official." Wang Shishi and Bao's carriage were side by side, and when she heard this, she naturally took it.
"Haha, Miss Wang has a lot of money, so she naturally doesn't look down on those few people, but ah, there are people in the court who are easy to do, this is a truth for thousands of years."
Wang Shishi has always been sweet-mouthed, and immediately said: "We also have people in the court, isn't Father-in-law Bao?" Could it be that Father-in-law Bao is still watching us being bullied in Manxi? In this case, the people of Shishan County will not bypass you. β
"Hahaha, Miss Wang is such a wonderful person, wonderful person." Grandpa Bao had never met such a bold little girl, and he clapped his hands again and again.
The group talked and laughed, and soon left the boundary of Shishan County.
Shishan County is remote, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and if you want to get out of the county, you can only take an official road, but Shishan County is a small county town, and the population is not very large, so this official road has not been repaired for many years.
But now the carriage is unimpeded and very comfortable, thanks to Huamanxi.
Because of the food festival, Hua Manxi was afraid that the road would be bad and would block the interest of tourists, so he had already persuaded Chen Xiuli to repair the road, but the money was not pulled out, and the money was not enough, and the road was also bumpy.
Although the Wang family is rich, it is not a trivial matter to build roads, and the expenses are even more numerous.
In the end, Hua Manxi thought of a way, found the big merchants who came and went on the road, asked them to donate money, donate a lot, and repair a plaque to commemorate it.
Most of those merchants are selling seafood to other places, and they have long been unbearable because of this road, and now that there is such a good thing, they are naturally willing to donate some silver, so they have collected enough money to build this road, and it has been connected with the official road of another county.
Wang Shishi walked through that bad road, and now that she is walking this repaired road, she feels more and more that Hua Manxi is really a person of great wisdom.
This road construction is also a merit, adding flowers to my cousin's political achievements, if there is no Manxi to help, it is still unknown when my cousin will be able to return to Beijing.
Hua Manxi was looking at the scenery on the road, but was suddenly stared at by Wang Shishi with an almost adoring gaze, and stared for a while, touched his face with some surprise, and asked, "What are you staring at me for?" Do I have something on my face? β
Wang Shishi nodded fiercely, covered her chest with her hands, made a star-eyed expression, and exclaimed: "There is light on your face, golden light, shining on the earth!" You tell me honestly, were you a lucky boy in your previous life? β
Hua Manxi looked at her strange appearance, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Yes, I was a lucky boy in my previous life, and you are the golden toad, who specifically wants to eat copper coins." β
"Okay, you're full of flowers, I praise you, you scold me for being a toad, you are such a bad friend, I won't play with you anymore!" Wang Shishi stepped forward and twisted her ears.
"Don't, I was wrong, I was wrong, you're not a golden toad, you're a fairy, you're a fairyβ" Hua Manxi begged for mercy as she higgled to dodge her onslaught.
"I'm not a fairy, I'm a golden toad, I love to eat copper coins! Copper coins and copper coins, my favorite, I would rather be a rich golden toad than a poor fairy-" Wang Shishi was unhappy when she heard her say this, and retorted.
Hua Manxi: "........" Well, if it were her, she would rather be a rich golden toad, haha, she and Wang Shishi really smell like each other.
The two looked at each other and smiled, both understood the meaning in each other's eyes, and laughed again, tangled together.
