Chapter 153 Tonic Soup (Asking for Votes)
Gong Yuanke showed Gong Yuanhe a booklet. What year, month, and day, what did Second Mrs. Gong buy through the Shao family, how much silver was spent, how much silver was given to Gong Zhongsu, and how much money was spent to repair the house, all of which were very clear on it. It is a detailed account of expenditures, and the normal price of the things purchased by Mrs. Gong is also indicated next to it. There are many, and the difference reaches several times. Gong Yuanke only gave Gong Yuanhe a rough look, then quickly took it back, and left without saying a word.
Gong Yuanhe smiled and said to Ming Fei: "Aunt Zhu is illiterate. The words on it were originally from the second sister, and the back were all from the third brother, judging from the date, it was about when the third brother was nine years old. This child, no wonder his father wants to put him in the shop, and he is really an expert at keeping accounts. Don't look at his usual mush, speaking of these things is the way, in my opinion, he is much more capable than the second and fourth brothers. ”
Ming Fei thought of the beautiful Tongfang Hanrui, "Why is he so small, so big is a Tongfang?" If you don't stay in his room, how can you always serve in Aunt Zhu's room? ”
Gong Yuanhe was silent for a moment. "There is a way to make a man heirless, and one of them is to give him a beautiful woman when he is very young and has just learned about personnel. Covets women, the more diligent they are, the thinner the heirs, and they may not even have them, and even if they do, they may not live long. Although Han Rui was at Aunt Zhu's during the day, she still had to go back at night. ”
In addition to slaughtering, another way to cut off your own son? Call him obsessed with women, hollow out his body, and become a waste? Ming Fei automatically made up for it, no wonder Gong Yuanke couldn't read good books back then, it turned out that his mind was spent on this. Then he asked, "Daddy, doesn't he just ask?" ”
Gong Yuanhe frowned and said: "He has been away from home for a long time, and his aunt has helped cover it up, and Aunt Zhu is also very powerful." Medicinal diet can harm people and save people, Han Rui is an aunt on the surface, but in fact, he has already become Aunt Zhu's person. ”
This means that Second Mrs. Gong's move failed. There are too many actual combat tricks from Gong Yuanhe, Ming Fei grabbed Gong Yuanhe, half-joking and half-serious: "What about you, what about your room?" Is it which of the two purples? Or is it more than that? "It's impossible that Gong Yuanke has it, he doesn't have this big brother yet, right?
"Do you look like it?" Gong Yuanhe glanced at her, pulled up the quilt to cover her head, "You're too idle, aren't you?" Go to bed. ”
Ming Fei was covered by the quilt that fell from her head. I didn't have time to see his expression clearly.
Nothing was said all night.
After the two sides reached a preliminary agreement, Second Mrs. Gong did not have any more moths for the time being, Ming Fei did not dare to relax, she went over when she was free, greeted and brought tea and water to listen to the training, and must not ask people to find out the slightest mistake on the bright side. Just remember one thing, no matter how hot the weather is, resolutely don't eat any soup and water over there, and only occasionally eat two fresh fruits to suit the occasion.
After a few days like this, Aunt Zhu was anxious, and when Mrs. Gong took a nap one day, she found a gap and quietly asked Ming Fei: "Big * Grandma is not going back to her parents' house recently?" ”
Ming Fei knew that Aunt Zhu was concerned about Gong Yanbi's family affairs, and wished that she would go home early to beg the Chen family and help Gong Yanbi find a good family. But she discussed with Gong Yuanhe, and she didn't plan to let Aunt Zhu's mother and daughter achieve their goals so easily, so she pretended to be confused: "I only went to see my brother off last time, and my mother specially told me not to run to my mother's house all the time." That's not good. ”
Aunt Zhu laughed dryly a few times and said, "Isn't the fourth lady of your family about to get married?" The in-laws also have a little boy by her side, so there must always be a time when she can't be busy. Big * milk should do her best and help. Madame, I'll tell you for you, there won't be any trouble. ”
Ming Fei smiled: "Aunt Xie cares, let's talk about it in a few days." The dowry of the fourth sister has been prepared a long time ago, my fifth brother is also very well-behaved, and there is a capable third sister-in-law at home to help, and my mother will not be too busy. Naturally, if she needed it, she would have sent someone to call me. ”
A trace of annoyance flashed in Aunt Zhu's eyes, and she forced a smile and said: "Even if this is not busy, the in-laws will soon go to Dengzhou, and I don't know when we can meet this time, and the big * milk should go to accompany me more." He stuffed another wax pill and said in a low voice: "I have a pill here, which is rare for a thousand gold, just to replenish my grandmother's body." ”
Ming Fei moved forward with his sleeve, tucked the wax pill into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take medicine indiscriminately, but since it was given by my aunt, there must be no problem." I'll take it first. ”
Gong Yanbi came out of the house and said with a smile: "Madame woke up and asked my sister-in-law if she was here." said that he wanted to teach his sister-in-law to learn to manage accounts and settle accounts. ”
Ming Fei hurriedly entered the house, and Second Mrs. Gong said that she would teach her some things in business, and after saying so many days, it didn't rain when it thundered, and today she finally had something substantial.
"Today, let's learn to manage accounts and settle accounts. After getting started with these, learn something else. You settle the account, so you can know how difficult our family has been over the years, and when the time comes, the uncle will make trouble. You know that too. Second Mrs. Gong leaned on the couch, without any energy.
Aunt Zhu carefully took out a double-layered large bowl from a basin in the corner of the house, opened the lid of the bowl, took out a small and delicate pastel cup from it, stirred it in it with a delicate silver spoon, and carefully served it with both hands: "Madam, this Bazhen soup is neither lukewarm nor hot, just right, do you use it at this time or later?" ”
When Second Mrs. Gong saw her bowl of soup, her eyes lit up, and she stretched out her hand to take it without waiting for her to hand it over: "Since it is neither hot nor cold, it is naturally used at this time." He quickly ran out of soup and said contentedly: "Your craft is getting more and more sophisticated, and you can't eat the taste of medicine." ”
Aunt Zhu said happily: "Really? Mrs. Xie praised. ”
Ming Fei asked curiously: "What kind of soup stock is used in this Bazhen soup, and what is its function?" ”
Aunt Zhu is like a few family treasures: "I used angelica, rehman, Chuanxiong, white peony, codonopsis, poria cocos, atractylodes, and boiled licorice." If you want to have a myrrh taste, you can add the skinless chicken and stew it, and when the chicken is cooked, the soup will be good. If you don't like chicken, you can also put fish or pork ribs, chicken feet, and some tofu skin or something, the taste will be better. Don't like broth. You can also use red dates and wolfberries to make sweet soup. ”
Seeing that Ming Fei was interested, Second Lady Gong said lightly: "Is there anything else?" Let the big * milk taste. If you like it, I'll send you a copy of it in the future. ”
Ming Fei hurriedly waved her hand: "Aunt Xie, I just asked the recipe so that my mother could also get some to use." He asked Gong Yanbi again for a pen and paper, and wrote down the recipe on the spot.
Aunt Zhu smiled: "This soup is very ordinary, as long as you ask the doctor, the doctor knows it." In fact, it is just the famous Siwu soup plus a few flavors of medicine in the back. ”
Second Mrs. Gong said: "The recipe is ordinary, the key is craftsmanship and taste. Otherwise, it smells of medicine, and it will take a long time to eat. It's going to get annoyed. ”
Ming Fei memorized the following recipes and practices, and asked Aunt Zhu seriously: "How often do you use it?" ”
Aunt Zhu said with a smile: "You can use it after the menstrual affair is over, twice a day." ”
Ming Fei looked at Second Mrs. Gong, who was obviously much more energetic after drinking the soup, and couldn't help but glance at the cup that had been drunk cleanly. She remembered that Hua Pozi once said that even the best prescription depends on the proportion of medicine prepared. A little more of the same, a little less of the same, that's a completely different effect, and when used on different people, the results are completely different. Tonic is not something that can be eaten indiscriminately.
Second Mrs. Gong deliberately made things difficult for Ming Fei, turned out all the account books at home ten years ago and showed them to Ming Fei, and asked her to learn to reason and calculate again.
Gong Jingqi came over after a nap and was surprised when she saw this: "Sister-in-law ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
