Chapter 216: First Treat
Without the big pit near the window, Shen Muqing is very unaccustomed.
After freshening up, she hesitated for a while before sitting down on the Taishi chair in the hall.
Mingxia walked in with a smile: "Seventh grandmother, I heard the mothers of the Zheng family say that they have bamboo beds here, and they are the best to cool off." We might as well buy one from the steward of Topang, and you can sleep more peacefully at night. β
The autumn wind in Kyoto is cool when the wind blows on the body, but I didn't expect the autumn in Huding Prefecture to be still very hot.
Shen Muqing was very interested when he heard it, and said "Okay" with a smile.
Mingxia went to Pang Debao to buy a bamboo bed.
Shen Muqing was thinking about how to see Xiao Sa.
Before she came, she had inquired that as long as the exiled officials did not leave the degraded land, they should report to the county government or the guard office every once in a while...... But Xiao Sa has been at the Yanzhou Health Center for more than half a month, and he also asked Pang Debao to bring 1,000 taels of silver that day, but there was no sound at all.......
She is most afraid that Xiao Sa will not speak to her when she encounters difficulties.
The county magistrate of Huding County is called Peng Lingxun, and his political performance is rated as "excellent" every year, but he has been a county magistrate in Huding County for 12 years and has not moved the place - his background can be imagined. Because neither Shen Zhen nor Mr. Min could find a channel to get in touch with Peng Lingxun.
Or, are you looking for a relationship in Huding County?
Shen Muqing was thinking about it, and Ning Bi hurriedly walked in: "Seventh Grandma, Seventh Young Master is back... I also brought a few colleagues from Yanzhou Wei to let you cook good dishes for entertainment. β
Shen Muqing was overjoyed when he heard Xiao Sa come back, and was surprised when he heard that he had brought his colleagues, and hurriedly asked Ning Bi: "Do you know who people are here?" Can you bring a little guy with you? Who's receiving outside? β
Ning Bi smiled: "Steward Pang and Sister Mingxia went out to buy a bamboo bed. People rested in the flower hall, and Jin Liang served. It is said that there are thousands of households in Yanzhouwei, Lord Zheng, the lord of the capital house, two generals, one surnamed Wang, and the other surnamed Liu. Lord Zheng and Lord Fang each brought a small servant, Yinliang accompanied the wing room in the outer courtyard, and Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu came alone. β
Shen Muqing listened and pondered, and after Ning Bi finished speaking, she already had an idea in her heart: "Go and find Mother Wang." β
Wang's mother is the one Pang Debao invited from the Zheng family to do the work on the stove.
Ning Bi was slightly stunned and said: "Since it is the boss of the young master, I have to come up with something new, it is better to let the laurel be on the stove - her yellow stewed yellow wings have won the true inheritance of Lin Jincai's family, not only the juice is thick, but also soft and smooth...... It just so happened that we also had some good shark fin from the third grandmother. and they shall not have eaten. β
She came out of a poor environment, and in the past few years, she has followed Shen Muqing to know what the real rich family eats and uses...... That's why I thought about bringing the shark fin that opened my eyes to entertain Xiao Sa's boss, so that they wouldn't dare to look down on Xiao Sa in the future.
Shen Muqing didn't know Ning Bi's thoughtsβthe two of them just thought of going together.
"The Zheng family is acting for the young master like this, so they naturally know that the young master wants to Wei Liwei in Yanzhou. I'm afraid that the mother's craftsmanship on these two stoves sent is extraordinary. β
She explained with a smile, "What's so rare about making world-famous Beijing cuisine. If you can make authentic Sichuan cuisine, then it will make people look at it! β
Ning Bi immediately understood.
They are from Beijing, and it is common to have abalone and shark fin. But if the family can buy a stove person who can cook authentic Sichuan cuisine for a banquet in such a short time, such manpower and financial resources may make those people stunned.
Thinking of this, she immediately smiled and went to invite the royal mother.
Shen Muqing smiled and asked Wang's mother, "I don't know what my mother's specialty dish is?" β
During this time, the people brought by Shen Muqing himself were responsible for the meals in the inner house, and Mother Wang and another Mother Qian only cooked the meals of the guards in the outer courtyard every day. She was muttering in her heart these days, but she didn't expect Shen Muqing to ask her what she was good at.
She hurriedly said: "I can make abalone, shark fin, and deer antler velvet, and the dumplings are also wrapped well, what does grandma want to eat?" β
Shen Muqing couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Unexpectedly, the Zheng family actually sent her a person who cooks Beijing cuisine.
That Wang's mother was a person who looked at her face, and said with a smile: "If grandma wants to eat Sichuan food, I am also good at it." What kung pao chicken, boiled beef, mapo tofu is not a problem. β
Shen Muqing was still a little worried, emphasizing the importance of this matter: "The young master's boss came to the house for dinner......
Mother Wang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, patted her chest and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I was also in charge of the errand on the stove when the guests came in the flower hall in the Zheng family...... Leave it to me! β
Shen Muqing nodded, and after Mother Wang left, he thought about it and called Yuegui: "You go to the stove to watch it, if it doesn't work, you can prepare some abalone and other things to send it - the taste is not good, it is so precious." β
Laurel walked away.
Shen Muqing asked Ning Bi to take out the Jinhua wine brought from Beijing: "...... Let them choose which one they like to drink! β
Ning Bi listened to the instructions to arrange the banquet, and Shen Muqing asked the little maid to call Jin Liang in: "A few entourages, you are entertaining well, don't slack off." β
Jin Liang was worried that Pang Debao was not there, afraid that his grandmother would not know the importance of these followers, but now with Shen Muqing's words, he naturally responded happily.
Shen Muqing took out about five taels of broken silver from his purse and gave it to Jin Liang: "Reward those entourage." β
Jin Liang continued with a smile on his face.
Shen Muqing went from the alley to a small ear room next to the flower hall, and poked the paper of the fan to peep.
Xiao Sa is darker and stronger than when she was separated from her. But his eyes are bright, his manners are downright, and he has a kind of self-confidence that stands out from the crowd.
He was talking to a thin man in his thirties beside him: "...... What Master Zheng said makes sense. Although Huding County is located in a remote area, the people are simple and simple, and it is a good place! β
Opposite Xiao Sa, a sturdy forty-year-old man laughed when he heard it. To the thin and bold people who are called "Lord Zheng...... I was very angry with meβI hadn't seen my wife yet, so I invited our family here first. β
"Master Fang is right." The other two men in their thirties laughed, "It's embarrassing that we ran over like this!" β
"The insider is a very virtuous person." Xiao Sa said with a smile, "If a few adults can afford to look down on me Xiao Sa, they can just come in the future." β
All four of them laughed in a few words.
Ning Bi came in and curtsied: "Young master, the wine and food have been prepared." Look, where is it good? β
Lord Zheng wanted to warm his eyes, and when Xiao Sa asked Lord Zheng, "How about the wine and food in the flower hall", Lord Zheng sat down and nodded in response.
Shen Muqing looked at it and frowned.
Ning Bi's appearance is not the best among her maids....... I didn't expect it to attract the coveting of these few. It seems that it is better to let Ning Bi show less in the future. Xiao Sa doesn't have the ability to protect the people around him now...... But at this time, I am afraid that the substitution will attract the attention of a few people again.......
She thought that Ning Bi had already taken the little maid to set up the wine and food.
Lord Zheng and the others saw the crystal clear red oil ear pieces in the sweet white porcelain plate, and their eyes widened.
Xiao Sa was also a little surprised, but he remained silent, pointed to the two wine bottles on the side and asked Lord Zheng, "Are you drinking Jinhua wine?" Or drink our Sichuan's Jiannan Burning Spring? β
Lord Zheng sat up straight, revealing a little reserved, and looked at Lord Fang: "Or, let's drink Jinhua wine?" β
Lord Fang nodded again and again: "Naturally, I listen to Lord Zheng!" β
Ning Bi listened to it and hurriedly poured Jinhua wine for everyone.
During the banquet, Lord Fang asked Ning Bi: "That's your concubine, right?" β
Xiao Sa smiled: "Where, it's the personal maid of the insider." β
Lord Fang nodded, but Mr. Liu smiled and said: "The close-fitting maids are so beautiful, and my brother-in-law is just afraid that she is a celestial figure!" β
Xiao Sa smiled and nodded.
Then Lord Zheng scolded Mr. Liu: "People are from Beijing, not like us here...... Less nonsense. β
Mr. Liu listened and put Xiao Sa's shoulder with the intention of drinking: "Brother Xiao's insider, isn't it my brother and sister." Uncle sees his younger siblings, how can there be so many rules. β
Master Fang laughed when he heard this.
Master Zheng, who was drunk and flushed, also laughed a few times when he saw it, and turned his head to talk to Xiao Sa about other things: "Our guard and county government are # water does not violate river water...... If someone comes to your trouble in the future, you don't have to pay attention to it. Just tell me. β
Xiao Sa hurriedly thanked Lord Zheng.
Shen Muqing saw that they had eaten about the same, turned around and went back to the house, and happened to meet Mingxia who came back from going out to buy a bamboo bed with Pang Debao.
She hurriedly saluted Shen Muqing and said, "I heard that the young master's boss is here, and Chief Pang hurried to send his entourage." β
Shen Muqing just smiled and asked her how the bamboo bed was bought.
It was the first time for Mingxia to see this thing when she was so big, and she excitedly pulled Shen Muqing to see that the bamboo bed was carried by her rough mother to be cleaned.
As soon as the two got off the stage, Pang Debao hurriedly walked in.
Shen Muqing thought something was wrong and greeted him.
Pang Debao stopped in the middle of the courtyard and looked at Shen Muqing with a smile.
The strange expression made Shen Muqing stunned.
"Grandma, when Master Zheng leaves, do you want to send something?"
"That's nature." Shen Muqing said, "I'm going to send a bag of dried scallops to every adult." β
Pang Debao smiled slightly when he heard this: "I am relieved that the affairs of the family are entrusted to you!" β
In the evening, Shen Muqing said this to Xiao Sa: "He won't just leave it alone, right?" β
"No," Xiao Sa said with a smile, "He's a character he can't let go, otherwise, why follow me so hard." β
Shen Muqing nodded and said in a deep voice, "Have you become a family?" β
"What? You want to be a matchmaker for him! Xiao Sa said jokingly.
Shen Muqing slapped Xiao Sa's arm with disgust: "What? I'm trying to help you keep him and see what he needs most. β
"No!" Xiao Sa sighed, "He is filial to his mother." Since Mrs. Pang's death, he has nothing to worry about! β
While the two were talking, Mingxia walked in with a red face: "Grandma, the hot water in the small kitchen is ready!" β
