Chapter 242 Lishang

Aunt Li felt aggrieved, and she didn't dare to fight back, so she could only lower her head, go in and out of her left ear, and only think that Gong Zhongsu was singing. (Vertex Hand Hit)

Gong Zhongsu scolded that he was tired, sat down to rest, and the housekeeper's mother-in-law came to report to Aunt Li: "The big * milk next door has sent the winter solstice plate." ”

Aunt Li took the opportunity to hide out, and when she saw the winter solstice plate sent by Ming Fei, she was a little embarrassed, and reluctantly smiled: "Your big * milk, this winter solstice plate is really exquisitely prepared." ”

Mingfei's winter solstice plate is made sumptuously, different from the general form, mutton, pork, venison, fish, shrimp, scallops, pastries, fruits, meat is selected, fish, shrimp are also very fresh, pastries are not made at home, but bought from a famous pastry shop outside, are all people in the second room love to eat, not to mention four or five taels of silver to do.

It was Wang Tianbao's family who sent the winter solstice plate, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Grandma, it's just the same that we give our big * milk to other families." In this way, three copies were prepared, and the other two were given to the Chen family and the Cai family respectively. The big * milk said that they are all their own people, so they naturally have to pick a good one. ”

Aunt Li was going to die because it was rare, she originally prepared a winter solstice plate, and planned to bring it back when Ming Fei asked someone to send it over, but now that she sees this, she can't take it. The one she prepared was only worth a few dollars of silver, how could she pay it back? I had to re-plan, and immediately said: "It's hard for your grandmother to think so thoughtfully." After hesitating, he was embarrassed to take dozens of dollars to reward Wang Tianbao's family.

Wang Tianbao's family said with a smile: "Auntie is polite, our grandmother has explained before, and we are not allowed to accept the aunt's *** reward." It is said that it is his own family, and he is not interested in this. If the slave or maid takes it, they will be punished. ”

Aunt Li also knew that people didn't look down on her dozens of money, but Wang Tianbao's family's statement made her have a step, so she no longer insisted, so she politely sent Wang Tianbao's family away. Looking back and thinking about it, Ming Fei thought thoughtfully, knowing that she was a girl holding a gold ingot, and everything was involuntary, and she intended to preserve her dignity in front of her subordinates, and she had to take the initiative. hurriedly went back to Gong Zhongsu to discuss, which meant that the face of the second room still had to be supported, and while it was still early, a decent winter solstice plate was prepared and sent over.

Gong Zhongsu said: "What are you doing with these false rites? We are like this, living within our means, they have money to waste extravagantly, but we don't. Whatever you originally prepared, you can send it to the past. Could it be that she still dares to think bad? ”

Gifts are still exchanged, these are two families, no matter how poor they are, this winter solstice plate can still afford it, right? Aunt Li was helpless, and secretly thought, anyway, it wasn't her face that was lost, what could she do as an aunt with no children and no daughters? I didn't care if I was angry and let people send it over, but after thinking about it, I still ordered someone to take the winter solstice plate that I had prepared earlier and send it to the next door in person.

Ming Fei was discussing with Xue Minggui about inviting the shopkeepers and stewards in the shop to dinner on the second day of the winter solstice, and by the way, the matter of solving the problem of personnel changes and leaving the problem, I heard that Aunt Li personally sent the winter solstice plate, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. I have to put aside the things in my hand for the time being and invite Aunt Li in.

Aunt Li ordered someone to put the winter solstice plate on the table, blushed slightly and said, "Big * milk, I ......"

Ming Fei swept the corners of her eyes, and she had already seen the contents of the plate clearly, and it was really similar to what she had expected. However, she sent this winter solstice plate, but she was sincere, and the picture was a lively holiday, not how much she sent out, but how much she wanted to take back. Seeing that Aunt Li was shy, she smiled and stepped forward to shake her hand, and said with a smile: "Auntie has to be busy with the affairs of a large family, and she also has to prepare tomorrow's family banquet and ancestor worship, so that someone can send it over, why do you come to run this trip in person?" ”

Aunt Li said: "When I managed family affairs for the first time, there were many mistakes and omissions, and I didn't have any knowledge, but I couldn't handle the winter solstice plate I prepared. I was very ashamed to see the big * milk prepared, but in a hurry, I didn't have time to adjust. I also hope that the big * milk will be more inclusive. ”

Ming Fei smiled: "It's all heart, I think my aunt's match is better than my match." But there was some sigh in my heart, Aunt Li was far more knowledgeable than Second Mrs. Gong, Aunt Zhu, Gong Yanbi and others. Everyone knows that she has followed Gong Zhongsu in office for many years, and the contacts have always been in her hands, and she has never heard of being stupid, making mistakes and omissions, but now she is just unable to be the master, and her identity is embarrassing - managing the mess of the second room, it is right to do a good job, and if you don't do it well, you will be scolded. But she took all this matter on her own family, taking care of the decency of Gong Zhongsu and the second room.

Thinking of this, Ming Fei patted Aunt Li's hand and said in a low voice, "Auntie, you work hard." ”

This is fate, Aunt Li was speechless for a while, just smiled bitterly.

Xue Yiqing watched the excitement on the side, and when she saw this, she hurriedly peeled an orange and handed it to Aunt Li, and said sweetly: "Auntie, you eat oranges, they are roasted hot, not cold." ”

Aunt Li invited Xue Yiqing to participate in the winter solstice family banquet: "What does Miss Cousin like to eat?" I'm going to get people ready in advance. ”

Xue Yiqing said with a smile: "Auntie, I'm not a picky eater, I can eat what everyone can eat." ”

Aunt Li smiled, hinting that the maid who followed her went to inquire about Xue Yiqing's hobbies, and asked Ming Fei: "Big * milk will also use tomorrow's breakfast?" ”

Ming Fei shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work." Just now, I also discussed with Mr. Xue, tomorrow I will invite the stewards of various shops and Zhuangzi to dinner, everyone has worked hard for a year, and they should be given a glass of wine. Uncle is not here, so I have to bite the bullet. ”

"Then you're busy, I still have something to do." When Aunt Li heard the sound and knew the elegance, she got up to say goodbye, and when she returned home, Gong Zhongsu had already ordered someone to bring the pastries sent by Ming Fei to eat, and instructed her with great interest: "Take the venison, fish, and shrimp she sent to make a small hot pot while they are fresh." It's been a long time since I've eaten venison. ”

Aunt Li squeezed out a smiling face and walked to the kitchen in a daze.

On the morning of the second day, Ming Fei dressed up according to the custom of wearing new clothes on the winter solstice, brought Hua Pozi, Jin Hairpin, Danxia, Bai Lu and others who were also wearing new clothes, took a carriage, and went to the restaurant with a banquet under the leadership of Xue Minggui. Xue Minggui chartered a floor and invited all the stewards, shopkeepers, and big guys in the long room.

Ming Fei deliberately went early, sat in the private room separated by a screen for the first time in the lobby, and silently observed the people who came in through the curtain, and Xue Minggui explained in detail on the side. In particular, he pointed to the two people who were recommended to Ming Fei before to show her, one was Luo Chaoding, a big guy from the Silk Village, who was handsome and smiled gently; The other is Han Ming, the son of the shopkeeper of the sesame oil shop, who is dark and thin, with a gleam in his eyes.

Xue Minggui said: "Luo Chao is a generous and fair person, he can speak well, and the shopkeeper of Ruan of Silk Village is old, so he can be picked up in the future; Han Ming is as fine as a ghost, cautious, and hard-working, and it is very appropriate to leave the matter of procurement to him. ”

Ming Fei sighed "hmm" and glanced at the golden hairpin, who understood, and pulled Danxia and Bai Lu aside to speak in a low voice. Danxia was so ashamed that Bai Lu lowered her eyes and was silent. Ming Fei couldn't help but sigh secretly.

After a while, everyone arrived, Ming Fei said the scene through the curtain, announced the personnel changes, and after some encouragement, presided over the banquet, toasted everyone, sat down slightly, and let Xue Minggui be responsible for greeting, and he took the golden hairpin and others to quietly go downstairs from the side stairs, and first went to Fan Xiaxuan to take the dishes that had been ordered a long time ago, packed them in a food box, and went to Tianqingguan.

Because it is a festival, there are no pilgrims in the Tianqing Temple, and it is quiet. Wuya welcomed Ming Fei in, and said with a smile: "The real person is talking to you." ”

The old Taoist priest is greedy, waiting for her to send delicious food, how can he not talk to her? Ming Fei was secretly amused and asked Wuya: "How are real people doing these days?" ”

Wuya was a little worried: "I'm still afraid of the cold, and two braziers at night are not enough." ”

Ming Fei couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard this, since the beginning of winter, Daoist Song ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
