Chapter 499: It's on the bar
Shen Anan then told Li Sheng about Li Youyou's marriage.
"You said the third aunt, is she confused? How can such a good girl marry such a person. ”
"People can't be good-looking, maybe people have merit." After speaking, he thought for a while before he said, "I heard that the Bai City Lord of Bailing City is not a simple person, and his son should not be a straw bale. ”
Bailing City, an earthen city in the northwest region, is about a thousand miles away from their Taoyuan Town. If you take a horse-drawn carriage, you have to sit for three days in a row to get there. The only advantage of Bailing City is the passage to the border fortress, where commerce is very developed. But horse thieves and water bandits are often encountered.
Therefore, the people of Bailing City live next to the city. However, the people of Bailing City are very tall and martial, both men and women.
"But such a delicate little daughter as Youyou, marrying into the side is tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger."
Li Sheng listened, and said half-loudly: "Why don't I go and take a look and ask my father what he means." Rules: Sanniang doesn't have this ability. ”
"Then you go and come back quickly, and if something happens, we'll discuss it again."
"Hmm!"
After Li Sheng left, Shen Anan went upstairs to take a shower, changed her clothes, and she sat in the room to draw design drawings. She is going to slowly bring Sister-in-law Chu and their small fishing village out, otherwise the life of the people there will be too isolated.
Later, Shen Anan learned that the original fishing village could not be developed, and the traffic was blocked because of the ban on the sea. Because there are often water pirates on the sea, and the merchant ships that come and go have no personal protection, who dares to go out casually.
Like Brother Chu, those who dare to walk on the sea are all bigwigs.
By noon, Li Sheng hadn't come back yet, and Shen Anan couldn't sit still.
She had just changed her clothes and was about to go downstairs to find Li Sheng, and asked what the situation was over there, but she didn't expect Sanniang to come to report that Zhuang Lao was here. He was waiting outside the door with a few brothers.
Shen Anan listened, hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards the door. "Hurry up and invite people in, why are you so blind."
Sanniang then trotted in front of her and said, "I'll let them come in to see you." ”
"No need, I'll go over and ask for it myself." For Shen An'an, Zhuang Lao and these skilled craftsmen are the source of wisdom and the foundation of her money-making and capital operation. People like them, who are full of wisdom and simplicity, deserve the respect they deserve.
"In addition, let Master Chen make some delicious food, and I will invite them to have some wine later."
"Hey!" Sanniang answered, and then went down to make arrangements.
Knowing that it was Shen An'an's order, Sanniang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked towards the back kitchen.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door of the back kitchen, she saw Man'er and the two maids standing at the door, with the posture that we have been waiting for you for a long time.
Seeing this, Sanniang hurriedly said hello to Man'er, after all, she was the eldest maid on the old lady's side. "Sister Man'er, why did you come to the back kitchen today?"
What she thought to herself was, it was so early, and there was something wrong with this posture.
"Well, we're helping Madame make a tonic soup."
"Stew tonic soup so early? Didn't Madame drink it at noon? After saying that, her eyes opened into the room, and then she shouted, "Master Chen? Master Chen? ”
Unexpectedly, there was a sound in the house, but no one answered.
If you follow Master Chen's enthusiasm, you will definitely go out to say hello when you hear Sanniang's shout, but today?
"Is Master Chen here? I'm Sanniang. ”
screamed twice, but there was still no one in the house, so Sanniang broke in directly, but unexpectedly, a big fat man came out of it directly, with a face full of meat.
Watching her come in, he reached out in front of her. I couldn't help but raise my voice a little higher. "Stop, who are you? The kitchen is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter. ”
Seeing this, Sanniang seemed to understand something in her heart, and couldn't help but raise her voice, looked at him and said, "Who are you, Master Chen?" ”
"The contemptible surname is Wang, and now he is the head of the kitchen of the Wang family. It's my duty time, don't bother the idlers. ”
Sanniang saw that the situation in front of her was not right, and hurriedly went to see Man'er. Pointing at her and asking, "What the hell is going on, without the consent of the master and the lady, who has the courage to replace Master Chen." ”
"How do I know, I only know that I am going to stew soup for the old woman, and I have to keep it." Man'er rolled her eyes at Sanniang, and continued to discuss with the two little maids beside her, what shoe patterns, embroidery and other things.
Sanniang knew at this time, they were probably against Shen An'an. So he turned to Master Wang and said, "I don't care who invited you, now our lady asks you to cook some food and send some wine as soon as possible, and Mrs. will entertain a few guests in the flower hall." You also know that our wife is the master's treasure, if you dare to offend her, you will wait to collect the body. ”
After saying that, she left directly.
When Sanniang left, Master Wang couldn't help but look at Man'er and asked, "Miss Man'er, what should we do now?" ”
Man'er relied on the support of the old lady and said busily: "You just need to get some leftovers from yesterday and send them over." It's not that we don't do it, it's that we really don't have time to do it. ”
When Master Wang heard this, he nodded again and again, and then beckoned his men to casually pack some cold steamed buns and leftovers from yesterday and these wines to them. ”
The guy next to him was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, looking at such a thing, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Master Wang, it's not good for us to do this, what if the lady and the master lose their temper?" ”
"What to do? Just do it. After Master Wang finished speaking, he also kicked the young man's buttocks.
This Master Wang is Mrs. Wang, a godfather from her mother's side, who learned the craft of cooking with both hands in her early years, but she is relatively lazy. The family really couldn't get along, so they begged the elders of the family to come to Mrs. Wang to ask for an errand.
So Wang didn't even say hello, and directly retired Master Chen.
Master Chen wanted to wait for Shen Anan and them to come back, he said hello to them before leaving, but he didn't expect that after waiting for most of the day, Shen Anan and they had no sign of coming back. Master Chen left quietly.
Now this kitchen is in charge of Master Wang, I heard that he is very good at making soup, so he fooled Man'er to make soup for the old woman in the morning.
Later, they knew that Shen An'an needed to cook something to eat, so they directly brought such a show.
"Hmph, you have eaten the bear's heart leopard gall, just wait for it to be repaired by Madame. Madame will surely cure you all one by one. Sanniang puffed out the door of the back kitchen, whining as she walked.
But he collided with the big girl who came over in a hurry.
"Ah" Sanniang only felt that her chest was about to be shattered. Subconsciously rubbed his chest with his hand, and the words in his mouth blurted out. "What's the matter with you, how did you walk?"
Seeing that it was a big girl, and looking nervous, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I, I look like I've seen a ghost." After the eldest girl finished speaking, she ran away in frustration.
Sanniang rubbed her chest, which was still a little painful, and said angrily, "I think you are a ghost." ”
