Chapter 167: Exquisite Heart
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! Seeing An Xiu'er's depressed appearance, Mama Fu didn't say much to her, just stood quietly beside her, and after a while, she saw the old man with the medicine box in the house from a distance, and her face was happy: "The doctor is here." ”
An Xiuer stretched out her hand and asked the doctor to take her pulse, but after the doctor gave her pulse, he only said that she was overthinking and wanted to rest well, and prescribed her a prescription for resting the fetus.
An Xiu'er estimated that during this time, she would definitely not be able to stop this medicine, but it didn't matter, this bitter medicinal taste was nothing to her, she was already used to it.
After thanking the doctor, An Xiu'er meditated in the lotus pavilion for a while, and then went to Wu Shi and told her about the grandmother in her courtyard.
Wu Shi looked a little listless, and after An Xiuer told her, she only said that she could just let her watch it herself, she was not in the mood now.
When An Xiu'er heard this, she was a little speechless, she thought that Wu's would get better, but she didn't change much, but An Xiu'er can also understand her current behavior, it doesn't matter, as long as she doesn't make trouble, since Wu's doesn't care, then she will take care of it,
She asked the woman to be arrested, and summoned all the maids above the third rank in the house, told them about it, and announced the fate of the woman in front of everyone, and sold the woman to the tooth woman.
If you make a mistake in a big family like this, it is very difficult to find a good owner, especially when this woman is still a little old, and after she is sold, she can only go to work as a coolie for others, but it is difficult to have such an easy life now.
"Although this chewing tongue root is a small thing, but our Zhang family can't tolerate people who chew the root of the tongue, and in my eyes, we can't tolerate such small things, so I hope that everyone will do it for themselves in the future, and today I will sell this mother-in-law, just because she is old, if other people make mistakes in the future, I will directly send him to the quarry, our Zhang family has nothing else, there are several quarries, and there is an urgent shortage of manpower."
An Xiu'er's voice was very light and light, but it was a chill in everyone's hearts, and everyone had no doubt about the truth of her words, she really dared to do this, because she had changed too much from that soft and weak country head to the person who stood here to set an example for the monkeys.
After cracking down on this phenomenon of chewing the root of the tongue, An Xiu'er began to start with the rules and etiquette of the servants again, and at this time, she began to thank Mama Fu for coming, because it was Mama Fu who taught her the rules, so she is now qualified to talk about others.
After making the rules, she asked the housekeeper to show her the account books in the house, and she told the housekeeper that no matter who it was in the future, anyone who had more than 1,000 taels of silver to come over to report the account must be let her see, and in the future, whether it was the Zhang family's descendants or collaterals, they could not pay money from the account so casually.
Her rules naturally make many people dissatisfied, but it doesn't matter, because she knows whose interests she harms, who will be dissatisfied with her, so these people are just moths of the Zhang family.
When Zhang Zhen'an was there, he wanted to pull out these people, but unfortunately he didn't have time yet, so let her settle these people's accounts.
In the past, she didn't care about the house, and her talent was useless, but now, when the housekeeper showed her the account books of the past few months, she quickly discovered the problem, and they didn't even have the opportunity to make fake accounts and close accounts.
Moreover, sometimes the account room miscalculates the accounts, and An Xiuer can always find that she is really not to be underestimated.
At the beginning, everyone still had a good show posture for her superiority, guessing that she would definitely pick on her soon, and they were still thinking about what they should do when the time came, and they would have to eat kickbacks, but they didn't expect that she was even more powerful than Wu, and she was more severe than Wu.
An Xiuer knew that the buying steward would eat a lot of kickbacks, in the past, the Zhang family had a big business, and the Wu family had countless dowries, she didn't put these silver coins in her eyes at all, but An Xiuer was different, she governed the family strictly.
She personally sent someone to inquire about the price of some ingredients, if you want to buy it, you can't go up to the ceiling, she knows that the person who buys it, it's impossible not to eat some kickbacks at all, but if it's like a rat stealing oil is too greedy, she can't allow it.
Under her management, the Zhang family gradually restored order, and ladies began to hand over prayer notes in the county town, but now they are not only here to visit the Wu family, but also many people are coming to visit An Xiu'er.
An Xiuer has been in the Zhang family for more than a year, but before this, no one had ever thought of visiting her, more people were waiting to see her fate, privately speculating about how long she would be kicked out, but they didn't expect her to gain a foothold in the Zhang family now and get the right to be a housekeeper.
As a big family in the county, the Zhang family's every move is naturally seen by people with a heart, I heard that the chaos within the Zhang family has been cleaned up by An Xiu'er, and they also want to come over to see if this matter is true or false, and see what An Xiu'er's housekeeping ability is.
For their visit, An Xiu'er naturally agreed, although she didn't like to deal with these people, but these things must be done, and she, as the mother of the family, needs to bear these responsibilities.
However, during this time, Wu's condition seems to be much better, and she can also come out to accompany the guests, in the past, An Xiu'er and Wu's two people came out, most of them were dominated by Wu's, and An Xiu'er was just accompanying guests, but now it is different, now she is the leader, and Wu's is just assisting from the side.
The first time to entertain guests, An Xiuer is still a little nervous, but not in a hurry, in her opinion, hospitality, among which there are many doorways, although complex, but in fact it is also very simple, as long as you treat others with a sincere heart, treat them as brothers and sisters, others can naturally feel your kindness.
Although An Xiu'er was entertaining guests for the first time, she spent a lot of effort to design the banquet, originally thinking that it would be okay not to make mistakes, but she didn't expect that after these ladies went back, they would be able to praise her, and felt that she was kind and humble, and getting along with her made them feel very comfortable, like a spring breeze.
An Xiuer didn't understand what life was like for the people in the city, so she used simple methods, such as inviting them to taste tea, she didn't use those high-priced famous teas, but found another way.
Knowing that these guests were coming, she asked the maids to prepare some clean jasmine flowers the first day, put the jasmine at the bottom of the bowl, but prepared a bowl, smeared a layer of honey on the bottom of the bowl, turned the two bowls upside down, placed them in the ice cellar to keep them fresh, and took them out to make tea the next day, both the fragrance of jasmine and the sweetness of honey, the two complement each other, but the drink makes people feel comfortable.
Although these materials are very simple and not expensive, these noble ladies feel very satisfied, because they have long been accustomed to drinking those expensive teas, and occasionally replace this kind of original taste, but feel fresh and pleasant, and all of a sudden, everyone in the county city rushed to follow suit.
An Xiuer didn't expect that her small move would become popular in the county, which made her a little emotional, when she was in the countryside before, when she wanted to buy silk flowers and fabrics, when the people who sold things advertised, they would always say that this was popular in the county town, and used it as a gimmick, but she didn't expect that one day, the things she made would become a fashion.
Not only do rich and noble families like to make tea in this way, but even among ordinary people, some skillful women and girls have begun to imitate this practice.
Anyway, as long as you pick jasmine, and it doesn't cost money, there are wild ones on the honey mountain, if you are afraid of being stung, there are beekeepers nowadays, so this honey is not difficult to find, and the price is not expensive.
A new way of making tea has been developed in the county town, and not only the people in the city talk about it and improve it, but even the people outside the city have gradually heard about it.
At this moment, in an ordinary farmhouse courtyard thirty miles outside the city, a beautiful girl jumped out of the hall, she held two bowls together in her hands, and said to the two men sitting in the house like a treasure: "Yesterday I went to the city pharmacy to sell medicinal herbs, and learned a good way to make tea. ”
"What's the best way to do that?" An old man stroked his beard and asked with a smile.
This old man is about sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair, dressed in gray clothes, with a kind expression, although he is a villager, but he has a peaceful temperament, and another man is in the prime of life, sitting upright, although he is wearing ordinary clothes, but he can also see his might, after hearing the girl's words, he pursed his lips, and there are two more smiles on his serious face.
"Look." The girl smiled and separated the two bowls, showed the jasmine and honey at the bottom of the two bowls to the two of them, and said, "The method I learned in the county town yesterday, I heard that it was passed down by the Zhang family in the county town, and this is the tea used by Mrs. Zhang to entertain guests." ”
"The Zhang family, it's a big family, I didn't expect their wife to have a delicate heart." The old man said slowly.
"Yes, I heard that their wife was originally from the country, but they were lucky enough to be able to marry such a big family as a wife." The girl talked about the gossip she had heard from the county, and shared it with the two of them as amusement.
"You're not bad, isn't this a good man falling from the sky?" The old man smiled and looked at the man opposite, and the man hurriedly hugged his fist with the old man and said, "Thank you two for saving your life, but this marriage event is still to be discussed." ”
The girl's face on the side was originally dyed with two clouds of flying glow, which was very beautiful, but after hearing this man's words, her face turned into a fiery cloud, and it turned red.
