In the evening, Baochai listened to Joe's report at home and laughed with satisfaction.

"Do a good job, take advantage of the other gentleman's habit to contact him, but it is easier to get close to him than a man to have direct contact with a man."

Joe still said with a rigid face: "It is inconvenient for me to appear again tomorrow, after all, my responsibility is only to escort him to worship." But the Carpenter house is perfect for ordering a takeaway from an Oriental restaurant to entertain guests. ”

Xue Baochai laughed, his assistant was so cute. Although everyone thinks she is rigid and even lifeless, Xue Baochai can understand her inner humor.

So the next day, on the table of the Carpenter family, a rare oriental food appeared. The knives, forks, and plates were all removed, and the dishes and chopsticks were replaced.

Looking at this takeaway that even the restaurant delivered, Benjamin really knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, and he didn't know how much it would cost.

During the meal, Benjamin was the only one who could use chopsticks skillfully. Although the rest of the family is not very skilled, they are also trying hard, because the food of the East is so much more delicious than the English food, even if it is not very convenient to eat, no one is willing to remove this table and replace it with salad steak.

Christie ate to his heart's content, and after the meal he toured Benjamin's collection, and coveted one of his royal silks.

"I can't give you this, but I bought this set from an imperial merchant with a lot of effort." Benjamin could see that Christie liked the silk very much, but he could not make up his mind to give it to him.

Christie also understands that such a good thing is rare for even the royal family to see, and it is really strange that the Carpenter family does not treasure it well and give it away.

On the contrary, Benjamin refused to send him, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.

"It's so precious, I've never seen such a pattern."

Benjamin introduced him with a smile: "This is Su embroidery, just one of the royal embroideries." There are many such embroideries according to local classification, the most famous of which are Suzhou embroidery, Shu embroidery, Hunan embroidery and Guangdong embroidery. I used to want to bring all these silks to England, but unfortunately, these silks were very difficult to transport on the road. Only once did I get it and I lost most of it. ”

Christie praised the craftsmanship of the silk and lamented: "The culture of the East is too mysterious and too old. Even if we wanted to replicate it, we couldn't do it identically. Perhaps only a clever Oriental can master this complex craft. ”

Benjamin suddenly laughed and said, "As soon as you say that, I suddenly remember something. ”

Christie hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Benjamin said, "My friend is an Oriental nobleman, you think you should know." He returned to China a few years ago, but his sisters are here. If you want something related to the East, why don't I take you to meet them? ”

Of course, Christie knows the famous Jia family, and even more so that the owner of the Jia family is a good friend of the current emperor. When he heard this, his heart immediately became excited, and he hurriedly asked if it would be too reluctant.

"This ......" Benjamin also hesitated for a while: "Those girls are indeed very simple, if they contact rashly, I am afraid that the master of the Jia family will be unhappy." ”

Christie's heart fell again, and it was still not good if her heart was so abrupt.

"But, it doesn't matter!" Benjamin cried out again: "There is one more! She'll do it! Do you know that the Jia family also has a niece? ”

Christie hesitated, "I think I've heard of it." ”

Benjamin laughed and said, "How did I forget her, speaking of which, you've seen her assistant, it's Joe!" She is a businessman and does not have so many scruples about etiquette.

"I almost forgot to mention that she is in Huaxia, and her family is a royal merchant, but her family deals in the flowers that women wear on their heads, not these silks."

Christie said, as if she had been treasured, "Then I have been introduced to me by the little Baron Law, I have long wanted to meet this mysterious woman, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity." ”

Benjamin knew that he was just a polite remark. Baochai is famous in Cambridge, but not so well known in London.

At most, others know that the Jia family has a niece, but they don't know how famous this niece is in Cambridge.

But as long as Christie takes the bait, the matter is well resolved.

Baochai is very busy here, and he doesn't know how fast things are going. In the past few days, the embroidery girl has been sent to Cambridge, Baochai looked around the house, and bought a smaller house for these twelve embroidery girls to live in.

Because the house is not large, there are only four rooms in total, so Baochai let those embroidery girls who belong to the same place live in one room, and the big beds have all been replaced by three small beds. Squeezed is squeezed a little, but it keeps everyone sleeping without being disturbed.

Next, the seasoning is subcontracted. Fortunately, they came back from school last month, and there were enough people, so they were borrowed by Baochai.

I was discussing with the attacker how to subcontract the spices, when the doorbell rang outside. Jo went open the door and returned to the living room, his face finally loosening a little.

"The owner...... Mr. Carpenter visited. ”

Baochai thought that Benjamin was the only one, so he didn't raise his head and said, "Please invite him in, and push the dining cart over, it's time for afternoon tea." ”

Qiao turned out expressionlessly, and led people into the house for a while, Baochai didn't pay attention here, only lowered his head and wrote the formula, and said to the visitor in English: "Please sit down, I'll finish the recipe first, you can take a copy of each of them home, I will have someone copy a copy of the recipe for you, you try everything." ”

Benjamin looked at Christie with an embarrassed expression, and when he saw that his smile was not at all angry, he coughed heavily.

Baochai and the attacker looked up at the same time, and when the attacker saw that there was still a stranger, he quickly got up and stood behind the sofa.

Baochai's brows frowned slightly, and soon stretched out again, and stood up with a smile: "Why didn't you tell me that there were still guests?" Hello, I am Xue Baochai, Xue is the surname, you can call me Baochai, or hairpin. ”

Christie admired this Oriental woman a lot, and he always thought that she would be a middle-aged woman, after all, being a businessman, you can't do it without some experience.

But seeing that the other party was so young, but very capable, and so generous in dealing with people, he couldn't help but have a trace of admiration in his heart.

"Hello, beautiful lady, my name is James Christie." Christie took off his hat and saluted, stepped forward to shake Baochai's hand, and returned to the place very politely: "I take the liberty to disturb you, I heard that you are from the East, and I have always been curious about the culture of the East, so I asked Benjamin to bring me here." ”
