When I returned to the courtyard, I bought two big and two little maids, a cook and a child, and pandan jasmine were all standing in the courtyard, looking quite large-scale.

Yiyi stood under the corridor of the upper room, and all the maids squatted down and saluted: "Please give the name of the eldest lady." ”

Yiyi named the most beautiful maid Qingfeng; The maid who combs her hair is named Huaxiang; The little girl of Sencha was named Cuckoo, her younger brother was named An'an, and the cook Li was called Sister-in-law Li.

Xianglan changed to magnolia, or pandan and orchid, Yiyi is often stupid and can't tell the difference, and Jasmine still uses the original name.

The big thing is done, and Yiyi is in a good mood. Today, the ingredients I received in the big kitchen were used for the food trial, and I plan to go out and buy some more, and I should also treat a few imperial doctors.

"An An went to Meiyuan to ask the third master to order someone to set up a car, let's go out and buy it today." Yulan led An An to the Mei Courtyard.

Nuan Yu followed Jasmine to the West Inner Courtyard to register the gift book, and then listed the items that needed to be added to the house one by one, and Qingfeng drew up today's list of ingredients.

Not long after, Lin Zhao came to the Songyuan, and several newcomers visited the third master one by one.

Yiyi took Jasmine, An An, and Qingzhu out with the purchase list.

Several people went directly to the West Market, and bought a large number of ingredients, wine, condiments, fruits, and green bamboos to the car. Qingzhu, the coachman, and the cuckoo also made a trip home halfway.

Yiyi took An An to buy a few precious drugs in the medicine store and received them in the space, the century-old ginseng of this era is also a high-priced treasure, Yiyi didn't care that the medicine was difficult to grow good seeds, so he just asked the guy to quickly pick up the expensive and rare ones and pack some.

After she took An An and waited for a few people in the tea house, she went around and bought cloth and furnishings, planning to add them to the empty Songyuan Plum Courtyard.

When he got home, the third uncle told Yiyi that his father's former colleagues from the Hanlin Academy had come.

Yiyi invited Tuo Lin Zhaoxian, and after people came and went, the third uncle came forward to entertain them, and the elders came forward to entertain them, and the guests would also feel valued. Lin Zhaoxian also felt that the girl was inconvenient to entertain guests, so he hurriedly agreed, and then took out two hundred taels of silver tickets to Yiyi, and estimated that it was also the third uncle's family background, but this time Yiyi insisted on not accepting it.

"The third uncle's term of office will expire next year, and he will take advantage of this time to walk around the Ministry of Officials in the capital more, and spend money where he should spend money. lest when the term expires, he sighs that he can't find the temple gate with the pig's head. "Yiyi has no ambition for a career, and estimates that her political sensitivity is negative; Moreover, when Yiyi heard the partisan dispute or something, she sweated and had a headache down her spine, which was really not this piece of material.

However, the third uncle is full of poetry and books, he should want to rule the world with fame, and the so-called big husband can't be without power for a day. What's more, my father's current situation, the family needs someone to support them so that they can give their brothers some shelter.

"The third uncle is motivated, and my father is also relieved to recuperate; My brother and the others can study with peace of mind no matter when they get the letter. Lin Zhaode is dedicated to planning for his children, not afraid of worldly remarks, and doesn't even care about affecting his career, he is a rare good father, and now that he is lying down, Yiyi is willing to continue to carry this burden.

Yiyi's family conditions have always been good, and he is not very willing to socialize for the sake of interests, and his personality is actually not suitable for business, but he doesn't want to gnaw at the old, so he chooses to like business.

Now that the family needs money, making money is her job!

"These people who come to visit home are all nostalgic for the old love, and there are suitable borrowers, and the three uncles who have a similar temper might as well have more contact, and the diligent relationship between them is solid."

Yiyi ordered the warm rain, the fragrance of flowers, and the rhododendrons to wait in the plum courtyard during the day, and all the maids went to the plum courtyard to wait when they were busy. The diet, tea, and snacks of the imperial physician and guests must be thoughtful and exquisite, and the guests must not feel neglected.

The ingredients are also on the account, and according to the instructions, the meals of the people under the entourage do not have to be quantified, and they can only be eaten as much as they want, and they are not wasted.

Qingfeng was also very hungry a few days ago, so he sincerely thanked the girl and made careful arrangements.

At this time, the front came to report that people from the household department, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials had come to visit the master. The third uncle hurriedly brought a group of maids to greet the guests.

Yiyi brought Qingfeng into the kitchen and set up lunch with Sister-in-law Li. An An came to report the number of guests after a short time, and now it is lunch time, so naturally they all have to keep food. At noon, three tables had to be set up, and the Meiyuan hall was only thirty-five square meters, so it was agreed that the lunch would be placed in the courtyard of the Songyuan.

There is also a wide front hall in the pine courtyard, but it was not properly arranged, today is a bright spring, the peach blossoms in the courtyard are fragrant, and a few tables under the trees are also quite interesting.

Yiyi ordered two snacks for Xiao Bu and asked him to invite his second aunt and cousin over for lunch.

Ma brought Yiliu and the cook in his yard over from time to time, Lin Yangye was not at home at school today, and the second uncle naturally had lunch in the yamen of the military department.

Ma likes to be like this, and only invited his mother and daughter to be guests, so that those concubines know that no matter how favored they are, they are still concubines, even if they live in the main house Westhouse, they are still concubines, and they can't go on many occasions. It would be better for her to bring the cook to Songyuan to help the cook, and let them eat raw and cooked.

Yiyi invited the second aunt to sit in the house, served some tea, and went to work by himself.

Ma Shi saw Yiyi's money and food expenses for buying people, so he concluded that the money given by the third uncle would not last long. It is common for eunuchs to support the scene, but if they can't hold it up, they will make jokes.

Ma felt that Yiyi, who had been at sea for many years, had not been taught by Jiang in the past few years, and he could not catch up with his Yiliu in terms of governing the family and taking care of the middle feed, so he was a little proud.

The third uncle didn't get married, he just took office for two years, and when he had some money in his hand, he gave it to the children to spend it at will, which was really two losers.

But the second master in their room is good, and the money will never fall into their second room, so she will be heavy

Spit out a kernel, whatever!

The two mothers and daughters ate these fine snacks in the hall, all of them were exquisite dim sum, which were famous in the capital, and several dim sums handed down by their families were also purchased in the palace all year round, not to mention the palace and the Hou Mansion. The bamboo courtyard is easy to buy, and the two mothers and daughters are satisfied.

The cooks made a first-class table, and when three main dishes were served on the table, they invited the guests to take their seats. He liked such a lively scene, but most of the officials of the six ministries knew what happened back then, so they had to continue to call illness and hide. Since he was sick, the dishes of these banquet guests were naturally not suitable for eating, so Yiyi left them alone.

Yiyi made squirrel osmanthus fish, boiled beef, and fish-flavored shredded meat, and roasted whole sheep on the fire in the yard.

The tomato sauce boiled in the tomatoes in the space is transparent and sticky poured on the fried golden mandarin fish, and the sweet fragrance has been transmitted to the plum courtyard one step earlier. Waiting for the sizzling squirrel osmanthus fish to be on the table, these six members who have eaten all over the capital are all refreshing, and when they heard that Lin Mingzan, who had just returned to China, did it himself, he threw away the surprise, and he didn't stop moving, and he didn't work hard to leave the skeleton of the auxiliary fish.

The boiled beef is very popular with the military doctor Wu Taiyi, and while sweating during the banquet, he got to know the same friends, the taste is fresh and spicy, and he is happy.

The taste of the fish-flavored shredded pork is unique, and it is very appetizing and has won unanimous praise from civil officials.

Yiyi gave the second aunt of the hall and the plum courtyard respectively the dishes, and also sent four large bowls of meat dishes to the sister-in-law Xue of the bamboo courtyard, thanking her for her great help today.

Yiyi invited the second aunt and cousin to eat by themselves, and brought a clear breeze to toast. Yiyi bought a few jars of glutinous rice wine today, originally intended to make bad fish and duck palms, and it would be better to take a small jar at this time. A small bowl was toasted at each table, thanking the guests for their hospitality.

The roast whole sheep flipped on the shelf of the green bamboo also wafted out a hint of meat aroma, and Yiyi took over.
